چکیده

The strength of classifier combination lies either in a suitable averaging over multiple experts/sources or in a beneficial integration of complementary approaches. In this paper we focus on the latter and propose the use of group-induced vector spaces (GIVSs) as a way to combine unsupervised learning with classification. In such an integrated approach, the data is first modelled by a number of groups, found by a clustering procedure. Then, a proximity function is used to measure the (dis)similarity of an object to each group. A GIVS is defined by mapping an object to a vector of proximity scores, computed with respect to the given groups. In this study, we focus on a particular aspect of using GIVSs in a mode of building a trained combiner, namely the integration of generative and discriminative methods. First, in the generative step, we model the groups by simple generative models, building the GIVS space. The classification problem is then mapped in the resulting vector space, where a discriminative classifier is trained. Our experiments show that the integrated approach leads to comparable or better results than the generative methods in the original feature spaces.

Characterizations and properties of bounded $L$-fuzzy sets

In 1997, Fang proposed the concept of boundedness of $L$-fuzzy setsin $L$-topological vector spaces. Since then, this concept has beenwidely accepted and adopted in the literature. In this paper,several characterizations of bounded $L$-fuzzy sets in$L$-topological vector spaces are obtained and some properties ofbounded $L$-fuzzy sets are investigated.

Cyclic wavelet systems in prime dimensional linear vector spaces

Finite affine groups are given by groups of translations and di- lations on finite cyclic groups. For cyclic groups of prime order we develop a time-scale (wavelet) analysis and show that for a large class of non-zero window signals/vectors, the generated full cyclic wavelet system constitutes a frame whose canonical dual is a cyclic wavelet frame.

On $beta-$topological vector spaces

We introduce and study a new class of spaces, namely $beta-$topological vector spaces via $beta-$open sets. The relationships among these spaces with some existing spaces are investigated. In addition, some important and useful characterizations of $beta-$topological vector spaces are provided.

LOCAL BASES WITH STRATIFIED STRUCTURE IN $I$-TOPOLOGICAL VECTOR SPACES

In this paper, the concept of {sl local base with  stratifiedstructure} in $I$-topological vector spaces is introduced. Weprove that every $I$-topological vector space has a balanced localbase with stratified structure. Furthermore, a newcharacterization of $I$-topological vector spaces by means of thelocal base with stratified structure is given.

s-Topological vector spaces

In this paper, we have dened and studied a generalized form of topological vector spaces called s-topological vector spaces. s-topological vector spaces are dened by using semi-open sets and semi-continuity in the sense of Levine. Along with other results, it is proved that every s-topological vector space is generalized homogeneous space. Every open subspace of an s-topological vector space is...
