artificial immune systems (ais) can be defined as soft computing systems inspired by immune system of vertebrates. immune system is an adaptive pattern recognition system. ais have been used in pattern recognition, machine learning, optimization and clustering. feature reduction refers to the problem of selecting those input features that are most predictive of a given outcome; a problem encoun...

The information era has witnessed an explosion in the collection of data that contain potentially useful information for a wide range of applications such as biology, sociology, pattern recognition, marketing and finance. As a result of this inflation, statisticians have developed a new set of tools that combine fundamental statistical concepts with profoundly new ideas. This set of problems an...

I'll show in an initial section (1.) that the kind of analogy between life and information (argue for by authors such as [1], [2], [3] [4], [5], [6]) is like the design argument and that if the design argument is invalid, the argument to the effect that artificial mind may represents an expected advance in the life evolution in Universe is also unfounded and invalid. However, if we are prepared...

An introduction into the setup, definitions and use of PRTools is given. Readers are assumed to be familiar with Matlab and should have a basic understanding of field of statistical pattern recognition. The Netherlands-2

A model is proposed that relates opportunity recognition to pattern recognition—the process through which individuals perceive emergent patterns among seemingly unrelated stimuli or events. This model suggests that because of their unique knowledge structures (e.g., prototypes, exemplars), specific persons perceive patterns among emerging changes in technology, markets, demographics, etc. that ...

This paper presents an implemented computational model of word acquisition which learns directly from raw multimodal sensory input. Set in an information theoretic framework, the model acquires a lexicon by finding and statistically modeling consistent cross-modal structure. The model has been implemented in a system using novel speech processing, computer vision, and machine learning algorithm...

As Cognitive Radio Networks (CRN) gain in popularity as an extremely promising wireless technology that can alleviate the apparent spectrum scarcity and support innovative wireless applications; they will become bigger targets for hackers. Moreover, they will also be exposed to diverse security threats especially at the PHY-layer spectrum sensing module. Hence, security consideration is central...

Online Chinese handwriting recognition has attracted much research attention recently due to its complexity, wide-spread applications and emerging market demands. This material serves as a guide for pattern recognition researchers who have limited or no background in this language. We provide a brief review of the nature of the problem and challenges of online Chinese handwritten character reco...
