In this study Jaccard Distance was performed by measuring the asymmetric information on binary variable and the comparison between vectors component. It compared two objects and notified the degree of similarity of these objects. After thorough preprocessing tasks; like translation, rotation, invariance scale content and noise resistance done onto the hand sketch object, Jaccard distance still ...

Definition In learning systems with kernels, the shape and size of a kernel plays a critical role for accuracy and generalization. Most kernels have a distance metric parameter, which determines the size and shape of the kernel in the sense of a Mahalanobis distance. Advanced kernel learning tune every kernel’s distance metric individually, instead of turning one global distance metric for all ...

Many coronaviruses are capable of interspecies transmission. Some of them have caused worldwide panic as emerging human pathogens in recent years, e.g., severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). In order to assess their threat to humans, we explored to infer the potential hosts of coronaviruses using a dual-model approa...

Aim: To detect pathological brain conditions early is a core procedure for patients so as to have enough time for treatment. Traditional manual detection is either cumbersome, or expensive, or time-consuming. We aim to offer a system that can automatically identify pathological brain images in this paper. Method: We propose a novel image feature, viz., Fractional Fourier Entropy (FRFE), which i...

In this paper we address the problem of tracking features efficiently and robustly along image sequences. To estimate the undergoing movement we use an approach based on Kalman filtering. The measured data is incorporated by optimizing the global correspondence set based on an efficient approximation of the Mahalanobis Distance (MD). Along the image sequence, to deal with the incoming and previ...

Geriatric depression is a highly frequent medical condition that influences independent living and social life of senior citizens. It also affects their medical condition due to reduced commitment to the appropriate treatment. Coexistence of depressive symptoms in Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and lack of objective tools towards their reliable distinction from neurodegeneration, motivated thi...

In this paper we address the problem of measuring the degree of consensus/dissensus in a context where experts or agents express their opinions on alternatives or issues by means of cardinal evaluations. To this end we propose a new class of distance-based consensus model, the family of the Mahalanobis dissensus measures for profiles of cardinal values. We set forth some meaningful properties o...

The FERET evaluation compared recognition rates for different semi-automated and automated face recognition algorithms. We extend FERET by considering when differences in recognition rates are statistically distinguishable subject to changes in test imagery. Nearest Neighbor classifiers using principal component and linear discriminant subspaces are compared using different choices of distance ...

The fundamental techniques used for man-machine communication include Speech synthesis, speech recognition, and speech transformation. Feature extraction techniques provide a compressed representation of the speech signals. The HNM analyses and synthesis provides high quality speech with less number of parameters. Dynamic time warping is well known technique used for aligning two given multidim...

This paper proposes a new metric, called Context Based Covariance, to capture contextual information intrinsic to multivariate data. Based on this concept, a minimum distance classifier is designed, and its applicability to the domain of supervised machine learning is discussed. The performance of the proposed metric is compared with conventional minimum distance classifiers based on Mahalanobi...
