Nearest neighbor search is one of the most fundamental queries on massive datasets, and it has extensive applications such as pattern recognition, statistical classification, graph algorithms, Location-Based Services and online recommendations. In this report, we propose a new searchable scheme, which can efficiently and securely enable nearest neighbor search over encrypted data on untrusted n...

We present in this paper an intrusion detection software-system that we have built based on combined statistical and computational models to detect intrusions and classify them as attack or non-attack. More specifically, we build a computational machine to derive optimal parsimonious hybrid model of classifiers in intrusion detection. The classifiers are based on the following classification me...

Lots of work has been done on speech and speaker recognition. Many technologies were developed for the analysis of speech waveforms. Musical instrument recognition is an important aspect of music information retrieval system. In this paper we analyzed features for musical instruments recognition and a brief study on music similarity. Music similarity search is done by using mel-frequency cepstr...

In this paper, we present two feature extraction methods for two-dimensional face recognition. Our approaches are based on facial feature points detection then compute the Euclidean Distance between all pairs of this points for a first method (ED-FFP) and Geodesic Distance in the second approach (GD-FFP). These measures are employed as inputs to a commonly used classification techniques such as...

This study focuses on handling high-dimensional classification problems by means of feature selection. The data sets used are provided by the organizers of the Interspeech 2012 Speaker Trait Challenge. A combination of two feature selection approaches gives results that approach or exceed the challenge baselines using a knearest-neighbor classifier. One of the feature selection methods is based...

In the paper, we propose an information retrieval based (IR-based) Question Answering (QA) system to assist online customer service staffs respond users in the telecom domain. When user asks a question, the system retrieves a set of relevant answers and ranks them. Moreover, our system uses a novel reranker to enhance the ranking result of information retrieval. It employs the word2vec model to...

The color satellite image compression technique by vector quantization can be improved either by acting directly on the step of constructing the dictionary or by acting on the quantization step of the input vectors. In this paper, an improvement of the second step has been proposed. The knearest neighbor algorithm was used on each axis separately. The three classifications, considered as three ...

In this paper, we present a prototype of a group recommendation system for concerts. The prototype is context sensitive taking the user’s location and time into account when giving recommendations. The prototype implements three algorithms to recommend concerts by taking advantage of what users have listened to before: a collaborative filtering algorithm (K-Nearest Neighbor), a Matrix Factoriza...

In order for a robot or a computer to perform tasks, it must recognize what it is looking at. Given an image a computer must be able to classify what the image represents. While this is a fairly simple task for humans, it is not an easy task for computers. Computers must go through a series of steps in order to classify a single image. In this paper, we used a general Bag of Words model in orde...
