Abstract This paper presents different methods implemented with the aim of studying urban dynamics at the building level. Building types are identified within a comprehensive vector-based building inventory, spanning over at least two time points. First, basic morphometric indicators are computed for each building: area, floor-area, number of neighbors, elongation, and convexity. Based on the availability of expert knowledge, different types of classification and clustering are performed: supervised tree-like classificatory model, expert-constrained k-means and combined SOM-HCA. A grid is superimposed on the test region of Osaka (Japan) and the number of building types per cell and for each period is computed,… More >

Abstract Underwater sensor networks have important application value in the fields of water environment data collection, marine environment monitoring and so on. It has some characteristics such as low available bandwidth, large propagation delays and limited energy, which bring new challenges to the current researches. The research on coverage control of underwater sensor networks is the basis of other related researches. A good sensor node coverage control method can effectively improve the quality of water environment monitoring. Aiming at the problem of high dynamics and uncertainty of monitoring targets, the random events level are divided into serious events and general events.… More >

Abstract Inter-purchase time is a critical factor for predicting customer churn. Improving the prediction accuracy can exploit consumer’s preference and allow businesses to learn about product or pricing plan weak points, operation issues, as well as customer expectations to proactively reduce reasons for churn. Although remarkable progress has been made, classic statistical models are difficult to capture behavioral characteristics in transaction data because transaction data are dependent and short-, medium-, and long-term data are likely to interfere with each other sequentially. Different from literature, this study proposed a hybrid inter-purchase time prediction model for customers of on-line retailers. Moreover, the analysis… More >

Abstract The past decade has witnessed the rapid advancements of geological data analysis techniques, which facilitates the development of modern agricultural systems. However, there remains some technical challenges that should be addressed to fully exploit the potential of those geological big data, while gathering massive amounts of data in this application field. Generally, a good representation of correlation in the geological big data is critical to making full use of multi-source geological data, while discovering the relationship in data and mining mineral prediction information. Then, in this article, a scheme is proposed towards intelligent mining of association rules for geological big… More >

Abstract The traditional K-means clustering algorithm is difficult to determine the cluster number, which is sensitive to the initialization of the clustering center and easy to fall into local optimum. This paper proposes a clustering algorithm based on self-organizing mapping network and weight particle swarm optimization SOM&WPSO (Self-Organization Map and Weight Particle Swarm Optimization). Firstly, the algorithm takes the competitive learning mechanism of a self-organizing mapping network to divide the data samples into coarse clusters and obtain the clustering center. Then, the obtained clustering center is used as the initialization parameter of the weight particle swarm optimization algorithm. The particle position… More >

Abstract The paper presents a probabilistic clustering approach based on self-organizing learning algorithm and recursive Bayesian estimation. The model is built upon the principle that the market data space is multimodal and can be described by a mixture of Gaussian distributions. The model parameters are approximated by a stochastic recursive Bayesian learning: searches for the maximum a posterior solution at each step, stochastically updates model parameters using a “dualneighbourhood” function with adaptive simulated annealing, and applies profile likelihood confidence interval to avoid prolonged learning. The proposed model is based on a number of pioneer works, such as Mixture Gaussian Autoregressive Model,… More >

Abstract Handwritten numeral recognition is one of the most popular fields of research in automation because it is used in many applications. Indeed, automation has continually received substantial attention from researchers. Therefore, great efforts have been made to devise accurate recognition methods with high recognition ratios. In this paper, we propose a method for integrating the correlation coefficient with a Self-Organizing Maps (SOM)-based technique to recognize offline handwritten Arabic decimal digits. The simulation results show very high recognition rates compared with the rates achieved by other existing methods. More >

Abstract For cooperative hunting by a multi-AUV (multiple autonomous underwater vehicles) team, not only basic problems such as path planning and collision avoidance should be considered but also task assignments in a dynamic way. In this paper, an integrated algorithm is proposed by combining the self-organizing map (SOM) neural network and the Glasius Bio-Inspired Neural Network (GBNN) approach to improve the efficiency of multi-AUV cooperative hunting. With this integrated algorithm, the SOM neural network is adopted for dynamic allocation, while the GBNN is employed for path planning. It deals with various situations for single/multiple target(s) hunting in underwater environments with obstacles.… More >
