Background: Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) might be manifested as structural changes in bone through modification, adaptation or direct destruction. We propose to use Local Binary Pattern (LBP) characteristics and histogram-oriented gradients on the recorded images as a diagnostic tool in TMD assessment.Material and Methods: CBCT images of 66 patients (132 joints) with TMD and 66 normal...

as networking and communication technology becomes more widespread, thequantity and impact of system attackers have been increased rapidly. themethodology of intrusion detection (ids) is generally classified into two broadcategories according to the detection approaches: misuse detection and anomalydetection. in misuse detection approach, abnormal system behavior is defined atfirst, and then an...

The recognition of handwritten numeral is an important area of research for its applications in post office, banks and other organizations. This paper presents automatic recognition of handwritten Kannada numerals based on structural features. Five different types of features, namely, profile based 10-segment string, water reservoir; vertical and horizontal strokes, end points and average bound...

Graph-based semi-supervised learning (SSL) algorithms have been widely applied in large-scale machine learning. In this work, we show different graph-based SSL methods (modified adsorption, measure propagation, and prior-based measure propagation) and compare them to the standard label propagation algorithm on a phonetic classification task. In addition, we compare 4 different ways of construct...

A k nearest neighbor (kNN) classifier classifies a query instance to the most frequent class of its k nearest neighbors in the training instance space. For imbalanced class distribution, a query instance is often overwhelmed by majority class instances in its neighborhood and likely to be classified to the majority class. We propose to identify exemplar minority class training instances and gen...

We show that a simple modification of the 1-nearest neighbor classifier yields a strongly Bayes consistent learner. Prior to this work, the only strongly Bayes consistent proximity-based method was the k-nearest neighbor classifier, for k growing appropriately with sample size. We will argue that a margin-regularized 1-NN enjoys considerable statistical and algorithmic advantages over the k-NN ...

Nearest Neighbor (NN) searching is a challenging problem in data management and has been widely studied in data mining, pattern recognition and computational geometry. The goal of NN searching is efficiently reporting the nearest data to a given object as a query. In most of the studies both the data and query are assumed to be precise, however, due to the real applications of NN searching, suc...

K-nearest neighbor (k-NN) classification is a powerful and simple method for classification. k-NN classifiers approximate a Bayesian classifier for a large number of data samples. The accuracy of k-NN classifier relies on the distance metric used for calculating nearest neighbor and features used for instances in training and testing data. In this paper we use deep neural networks (DNNs) as a f...
