Abstract: The paper presents a study on the efficiency of Ant Colony Communities (ACC) used to solve the Travelling Salesman Problem. The ACC is an approach to parallelize the Ant Colony Optimization algorithm (ACO). An ACC is made up of a Community Server that coordinates the work of a set ant colony clients. Each client implements a classical ACO algorithm. The individual colonies process cargos of data obtained from the server and send them back the as partial results. The paper presents a general description of the ACC concept and describes in details two ways of implementing it. The first one …uses an inhomogeneous environment of traditional computers working in an asynchronous mode. The second one uses the homogenous Hadoop environment and the processing is done in a synchronized mode. The performance of the Communities is estimated by low level measures: their power and scalability. The high level measure deals with the length of obtained routes. The paper presents also the taxonomy of parallel implementations of the Ant Colony Optimization. Show more

Abstract: Consolidation of services is one of the key problems in cloud data centers. It consists of two separate but related issues: Virtual machine (VM) placement and VM migration problems. In this paper, a VM consolidation scheme is proposed that turns the virtual machine consolidation (VMC) problem into a vector packing optimization problem based on deadlock-free migration (DFM) to minimize the energy consumptions. To solve this NP-hard and computationally infeasible for large data centers problem, a novel algorithm named Chicken Swarm Optimization based on deadlock-free migration (DFM-CSO) algorithm is proposed. The DFM-CSO algorithm is characterized by the ‘one-step look-ahead with n-VMs …migration in parallel (OSLA-NVMIP)’ method, which carries out the VM migration validation and the rearrangement of target physical host, as well as records the migration order for each solution placement, so that VM transfer can be completed according to the migration sequence. The experimental results, for both real and synthetic datasets, show that the proposed algorithm with higher convergence rate is favourable in comparison with the other deadlock-free migration algorithms.

Abstract: Data reduction can increase generalization abilities of the learning model and shorten learning time. It can be particularly helpful in analyzing big data sets. This paper focuses on the machine learning from examples with data reduction. In the paper data reduction is carried out by selection of relevant instances, called prototypes. The discussed approach bases on the assumption that the selection of prototypes is carried-out by a team of agents and that the prototype instances are selected from clusters of instances under the constraint that from each cluster a single prototype is obtained. For cluster initialization the kernel-based fuzzy clustering …algorithm is used. Main feature of the proposed approach is integrating data reduction with the stacking technique. Stacked generalization assures diversification among prototypes, and hence, base classifiers. To validate the proposed approach we have carried-out computational experiment. We have also evaluated experimentally the influence of the clustering method and the number of stacking folds used, on the classification accuracy. Show more

Abstract: The traditional data analysis and prediction method assumes that data distribution is normal and will not change. Therefore, it can predict unlabeled data by analyzing the static and historical data. However, in today’s big-data environment, which is changing frequently, the traditional approaches can no longer be effective, as they cannot handle concept drift problems in a Dynamic Data Driven Application System (DDDAS). This study proposes a parallel detection and prediction method for concept drift problems in DDDAS. The proposed method can detect dynamic and changing data, and then feedback to the prediction model to revise for better subsequent predictions. Furthermore, …this method computes a global prediction result by aggregating local predictions in the resource bounded environment. Therefore, the prediction accuracy increases, and the computation time decreases. In the simulation, the Map-Reduce technology is used for parallel processing. The simulation results show that the prediction accuracy is raised by 14%, and the execution time is improved by almost 45%. Show more

Abstract: Recently, the representation learning is the fucus of intense research of machine learning community. The underlying idea is that the key for successful discrimination of difficult datasets is a good feature extraction. A transformation of the data space into another space where classification is easy. This work proposes a novel transformation into feature space that follows a photographic intuition: that we can build from pairs of features in original space some kind of photographic plate where the sample data are projected to create a picture of the data distribution in the feature subspace defined by the feature pair. These …photographic plates may be used as individuals of a classifier ensemble. The approach allows a natural definition of a confidence weight affecting each individual classifier out for the construction of a combination rule used by the ensemble. Hence the name Paired Feature Multilayer Ensemble (PFME ). The approach is naturally naive parallel, insensitive to sample size, robust to dimension increase, and allows a regularization in feature space which is independent from original input space. The proposed approach was evaluated on the basis of the computer experiments carried out on the benchmark datasets. Show more

Abstract: The imbalanced data problem occurs when the number of representative instances for classes of interest is much lower than for other classes. The influence of imbalanced data on classification performance has been discussed in some previous research as a challenge to be studied. In this paper, we propose a method to solve the imbalanced data problem by focusing on preprocessing, including: i) sampling techniques (i.e., under-sampling, over-sampling, and hybrid-sampling) and ii) the instance weighting method to increase the number of features in minority classes and to reduce comprehensive coverage in majority classes. The experimental results show that the noisy data …is reduced, making a smaller sized dataset, and training time decreases significantly. Moreover, distinct properties of each class are examined effectively. Refined data is used as input for Naive Bayes and support vector machine classifiers for the targets of the training process. The proposed methods are evaluated based on the number of non-geotagged resources that are labeled correctly with their geo-locations. In comparison with previous research, the proposed method achieves accuracy of 84%, whereas previous results were 75%. Show more

Abstract: The task of selecting the most suitable classification algorithm for each data set under analysis is still today a unsolved research problem. This paper therefore proposes a meta-learning based framework that helps both, practitioners and non-experts data mining users to make informed decisions about the goodness and suitability of each available technique for their data set at hand. In short, the framework is supported by an experimental database that is fed with the meta-features extracted from training data sets and the performance obtained by a set of classifiers applied over them, with the aim of building an algorithm recommender using …regressors. This will allow the end-user to know, for a new unseen data set, the predicted accuracy of this set of algorithms ranked by this value. The experimentation performed and discussed in this paper is addressed to evaluate which meta-features are more significant and useful for characterising data sets with the end goal of building algorithm recommenders and to test the feasibility of these recommenders. The study is carried out on data sets from the educational arena, in particular, targeted to predict students’ performance in e-learning courses. Show more

Abstract: This paper assesses the possibility of using a popular middleware platform based on a multiple agent paradigm in full compliance with Real Time Specifications for Java. Two reference scenarios are discussed: one testing thread-to-thread activation (creating and releasing threads), the other featuring agent-to-agent execution for road traffic simulation (creating and releasing agents). These preemptive tasks must be scheduled with minimum delay, therefore, timing correctness as thread-to-thread activation latency and agent-to-agent execution latency is a critical performance index. Given this requirement, the study presented describes an empirical investigation of timing and capacity impact on two platforms: Solaris and Windows …in both RT and non-RT versions. The experiments showed the impact on performance of platform type and of capacity with the non-RT approach in particular yielding less accuracy but better stability in agent execution. Suggestions as to how this real-time multi-agent approach might be made more effective are included in the paper. Show more

Abstract: Healthcare is one of the most important concerns of society, being extremely relevant the accuracy and quality of their services. Basically, eHealth can be considered as the area where electronic processes and communications are used to improve the quality of medical assistance. Despite the relative maturity of the field, recalls and problems related to medical devices, applications and services are still very frequent. Therefore, it is necessary to improve and expand current research to provide advances that can be transmitted to the society. As an initial step, it is essential to have a good understanding of the current state-of-the-art of …eHealth. The main goal of this paper is to identify the most relevant and recent work on eHealth but, due to the immensity of the field and the scope of the journal, we will concentrate on the use of two specific technologies: databases and collective intelligence. In addition to review the main concepts related to eHealth and the most influent academic papers, we will describe projects which are essential for the correct performance of many healthcare services. As a result of our study, we reached some interesting conclusions that might be useful for future projects and we encourage to apply them in order to avoid some of the problems that we have found in existing projects.

Abstract: The value of data is hidden in their organization, accessibility and usability. During a research the data are collected from external sources and created too. If they are not stored in a central database, it is difficult to reuse them and it could lead to inefficiency in a form of duplicated information and time wasting for finding the same information in public sources. An output of research can also be a long time expected medication as a biohazard substance. Both ideas have a common problem of sensitivity and security. It is necessary to protect these data either for secreting against …competitors or hiding information from terrorists. For the research team, the Biomedical Database System offers besides security also improvement of data flow in an organization, clear arrangement and efficiency. Show more

Abstract: Researchers have identified problems with the validity of software engineering research findings. In particular, it is often impossible to reproduce data analyses, due to lack of raw data, or sufficient summary statistics, or undefined analysis procedures. The aim of this paper is to raise awareness of the problems caused by unreproducible research in software engineering and to discuss the concept of reproducible research (RR) as a mechanism to address these problems. RR is the idea that the outcome of research is both a paper and its computational environment. We report some recent studies that have cast doubts on the reliability …of research outcomes in software engineering. Then we discuss the use of RR as a means of addressing these problems. We discuss the use of RR in software engineering research and present the methodology we have used to adopt RR principles. We report a small working example of how to create reproducible research. We summarise advantages of and problems with adopting RR methods. We conclude that RR supports good scientific practice and would help to address some of the problems found in empirical software engineering research. Show more

Abstract: In the paper we describe the process of development and verification of the novel traffic simulation method based on a credible driver model. The model is based on the actions of real drivers recorded in series of experiments. The developed simulation method reflects the unpredictable and totally individual characteristics of individual drivers. We show that the characteristics is a very significant factor in overall traffic efficiency. We believe that our credible driver model may become a basis for novel traffic management systems and active-safety mechanisms installed in the vehicles.

Abstract: The pickup and delivery problem with time windows is an NP-hard discrete optimization problem with two objectives—to minimize the fleet serving transportation requests, and to minimize the distance traveled during this service. Although there exist exact algorithms for tackling this problem, they are still difficult to apply in massively large practical scheduling scenarios due to their time complexities. Hence, the approximate methods became the main stream of research in this field. In this paper, we propose an adaptive guided ejection search algorithm for solving the pickup and delivery with time windows. The pivotal part of this technique is the pre-processing …step, in which the instance characteristics concerning its underlying structure are extracted in the clustering and histogram-based analyses. Then, the k -nearest neighbor algorithm is applied to classify the instance to an appropriate class. Finally, the most suitable variant of our enhanced guided ejection search algorithm is adaptively chosen for solving this instance based on the classification outcome. An extensive experimental study performed on the full Li and Lim’s benchmark (encompassing 354 problem instances belonging to 6 classes) revealed that our pre-processing allows for achieving very high classification accuracy, thus for selecting the best variant of the enhanced guided ejection search.

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to give a tool for the practical users, looking for the efficient way for solving pathfinding problem, concerning planning the best paths for the simultaneously moving agents in the crowded environment with obstacles. The proposed approach is based on the two-stage approach. In the first stage, a navigation mesh for passable regions in rectangular 2D environment is created using Quad-trees algorithm. In the second stage, a path is found for each agent present in environment using Dijkstra or A* algorithm. To find efficient paths in crowded environment, density information for each passable region is …stored. Density information is further mapped on graph edges along with the distance values. The key point is that the moving agents reevaluate their paths accordingly to the re-planning strategy. Three strategies are considered: (i) periodical re-planning, (ii) periodical with initial re-planning, and (iii) the proposed way called event-driven re-planning. The created and implemented experimentation system can be adopted by the practical user for testing the two-stage combinations of algorithms. The results of investigations, based on simulation experiments made with this system, presented in the paper, showed that the proposed approach is promising. Show more

Abstract: In this paper, we propose the Neural Knowledge DNA, a framework that tailors the ideas underlying the success of neural networks to the scope of knowledge representation. Knowledge representation is a fundamental field that dedicates to representing information about the world in a form that computer systems can utilize to solve complex tasks. The proposed Neural Knowledge DNA is designed to support discovering, storing, reusing, improving, and sharing knowledge among machines and computing devices. It is constructed in a similar fashion of how DNA formed: built up by four essential elements. As the DNA produces phenotypes, the Neural Knowledge DNA …carries information and knowledge via its four essential interrelated elements, namely, Networks, Experiences, States, and Actions; which store the detail of the artificial neural networks for training and reusing such knowledge. The novelty of this approach is that it uses previous decisional experience to collect and expand intelligence for future decision making formalized support. The experience based collective computational techniques of Set of Experience Knowledge Structure (SOEKS) and Decisional DNA (DDNA) are used to develop aforesaid decisional sustenance. Together with artificial neural networks and reinforcement learning, the proposed Neural Knowledge DNA is used to catch knowledge of a very simple maze problem, and the results show that our Neural Knowledge DNA is a very promising knowledge representation approach for artificial neural network-based intelligent systems.

Abstract: Detecting human carrying baggage from video sequences is one of the important modules in identifying unattended baggage for video surveillance system. Hence, this paper addresses a framework for implementing such module. As the video was recorded using a static camera, the background modeling is firstly constructed for extracting foreground regions. These regions are considered as candidate of human by further verifying them using a general human detector. To identify whether the human is carrying baggage or not, the human region is divided into several components such as head, body, leg and baggage components according to the spatial information of baggage …relative to a human body proportion. The scalable histogram of oriented gradient features of each component are extracted and the feature dimension is reduced by applying genetic algorithm. The features are trained using a support vector machine (SVM) over each component regarded as a weak classifier. The boosting machine is employed to combine these weak classifiers into a strong classifier for final decision. In experiment, standard public dataset are used to evaluate the effectiveness of our proposed approach. The results verified that the proposed framework outperforms the state-of-the-art methods and can be considered as one of the solutions for aforementioned task. Show more

Abstract: Content-based indexing methods need to analyze all frames of a video. Because such a procedure is extremely time consuming the indexing may be limited to the key-frames, i.e. to only one or to a few frames for every shot or for every video scene. The detection of the key-frame of a shot or of a scene requires very effective temporal segmentation methods. Content-based indexing of videos is based on the automatic detection of a video structure. A video shot is the main structural video unit. The temporal aggregation results in grouping of shots into scenes of a given category. Moreover, …the determination of the most likely category on the basis of time relations also reduces the analysis time enabling us to apply the adequate method of content-based indexing. The main problem is to select report shots and non-report shots because usually different indexing strategies should be applied. The paper examines the usefulness of the temporal aggregation method and pre-categorization of shots in news videos to reduce processing time taken by a very time-consuming content-based video indexing process.

Abstract: User-based collaborative filtering often considers a set of users who rated on a target item and computes similarities between other users and the target user to select his/her neighbors, then extrapolates the target user’s rating from the neighbors’ ratings. This traditional approach uses only the neighbors’ ratings for recommendation measurement. However, according to our study, dissimilar users whose ratings still significantly influence to the target user’s rating prediction. In addition, to choose a video to watch, a user often takes in to consideration multi criteria. We analyze users’ behavior to choose a video. They often explore genres or tags, then …read abstraction before choosing a video to watch. Therefore, their ratings and the information of a video have a strong correlation. Therefore, based on the fuzzy neural network, a new collaborative filtering method for video recommendation is proposed. Here, the fuzzy neural network is used to learn users’ ratings with respect to their behaviors. The proposal here is to adjust a model of the neural network with input is users’ behavior and output is their ratings for each target video. Concretely, the behavior of a user (or user profile ) is learned by the users’ ratings and the information of the corresponding videos. In addition, for each target video, all users’ profile who made ratings on it will be collected. Then each profile is treated as an input of the fuzzy neural network and the corresponding rating value is treated as output of the fuzzy neural network. The rating of a user on the target video will be predicted based on the trained neural network. The experiments with netflix dataset reveals that the proposed method is a significantly effective approach. Show more
