Nowadays, the automated text classification has witnessed special importance due to the increasing availability of documents in digital form and ensuing need to organize them. Although this problem is in the Information Retrieval (IR) field, the dominant approach is based on machine learning techniques. Approaches based on classifier committees have shown a better performance than the others. I...

Type-2 fuzzy logic systems (FLSs) have been treated as a magic black box which can better handle uncertainties due to the footprint of uncertainty (FOU). Although the results in control applications are promising, the advantages of type-2 framework in fuzzy pattern classification is still unclear due to different forms of outputs produced by both systems. This paper aims at investigating if typ...

A lack of transparency in machine learning models can limit their application. We show that analysis variance (ANOVA) methods extract interpretable predictive from them. This is possible because ANOVA decompositions represent multivariate functions as sums fewer variables. Retaining the terms summation involving only one or two variables provides an efficient method to open black box classifier...

This article presents a new feature extraction technique based on the temporal tracking of clusters in spectro-temporal features space. In the proposed method, auditory cortical outputs were clustered. The attributes of speech clusters were extracted as secondary features. However, the shape and position of speech clusters change during the time. The clusters temporally tracked and temporal tra...

forest types mapping, is one of the most necessary elements in the forest management and silviculture treatments. traditional methods such as field surveys are almost time-consuming and cost-intensive. improvements in remote sensing data sources and classification –estimation methods are preparing new opportunities for obtaining more accurate forest biophysical attributes maps. this research co...

Introduction Breast cancer is the second cause of mortality among women. Early detection of it can enhance the chance of survival. Screening systems such as mammography cannot perfectly differentiate between patients and healthy individuals. Computer-aided diagnosis can help physicians make a more accurate diagnosis. Materials and Methods Regarding the importance of separating normal and abnorm...

A new technique presents to improve the performance of dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) for voltage sag mitigation. This control scheme is based on cuckoo search algorithm with tree fuzzy rule based classifier (CSA-TFRC). CSA is used for optimizing the output of TFRC so the classification output of the network is enhanced. While, the combination of cuckoo search algorithm, fuzzy and decision tree...

A classification technique using Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier for detection of rolling element bearing fault is presented here.  The SVM was fed from features that were extracted from of vibration signals obtained from experimental setup consisting of rotating driveline that was mounted on rolling element bearings which were run in normal and with artificially faults induced conditio...

Automatic processes on seismic data using pattern recognition is one of the interesting fields in geophysical data interpretation. One part is the seismic object detection using different supervised classification methods that finally has an output as a probability cube. Object detection process starts with generating a pickset of two classes labeled as object and non-object and then selecting ...
