چکیده

One large problem when employing a similarity function to measure the similarities between new and prior cases is to determine the weights of the features. This paper proposes a new method of learning weights using a genetic algorithm based on the similarity information of given examples. This method is suitable for both linear and nonlinear similarity functions. Our experimental results show the computational e ciency of the proposed approach.

An Efficient Target Tracking Algorithm Based on Particle Filter and Genetic Algorithm

In this paper, we propose an efficient hybrid Particle Filter (PF) algorithm for video tracking by employing a genetic algorithm to solve the sample impoverishment problem. In the presented method, the object to be tracked is selected by a rectangular window inside which a few numbers of particles are scattered. The particles’ weights are calculated based on the similarity between feature vecto...

Learning Feature Weights for Similarity Measures

When employing a similarity function to measure the similarity between two cases, one large problem is how to determine the feature weights. This paper presents a new method for learning feature weights in a similarity function from the given similarity information. The similarity information can be divided into two kinds: One is called qualitative similarity information which represents the si...

An Effective Approach for Robust Metric Learning in the Presence of Label Noise

Many algorithms in machine learning, pattern recognition, and data mining are based on a similarity/distance measure. For example, the kNN classifier and clustering algorithms such as k-means require a similarity/distance function. Also, in Content-Based Information Retrieval (CBIR) systems, we need to rank the retrieved objects based on the similarity to the query. As generic measures such as ...
