A Reduced Labeled Samples (Rls) Framework For Classification Of Imbalanced Concept-Drifting Streaming Data., Elaheh Arabmakki Dec 2016

A Reduced Labeled Samples (Rls) Framework For Classification Of Imbalanced Concept-Drifting Streaming Data., Elaheh Arabmakki

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Stream processing frameworks are designed to process the streaming data that arrives in time. An example of such data is stream of emails that a user receives every day. Most of the real world data streams are also imbalanced as is in the stream of emails, which contains few spam emails compared to a lot of legitimate emails. The classification of the imbalanced data stream is challenging due to the several reasons: First of all, data streams are huge and they can not be stored in the memory for one time processing. Second, if the data is imbalanced, the accuracy …


Enhancing Snort Ids Performance Using Data Mining, Mohammed Ali Almaleki May 2016

Enhancing Snort Ids Performance Using Data Mining, Mohammed Ali Almaleki

Theses

Intrusion detection systems (IDSs) such as Snort apply deep packet inspection to detect intrusions. Usually, these are rule-based systems, where each incoming packet is matched with a set of rules. Each rule consists of two parts: the rule header and the rule options. The rule header is compared with the packet header. The rule options usually contain a signature string that is matched with packet content using an efficient string matching algorithm. The traditional approach to IDS packet inspection checks a packet against the detection rules by scanning from the first rule in the set and continuing to scan all …


Content-Based Image Analysis With Applications To The Multifunction Printer Imaging Pipeline And Image Databases, Cheng Lu Apr 2016

Content-Based Image Analysis With Applications To The Multifunction Printer Imaging Pipeline And Image Databases, Cheng Lu

Open Access Dissertations

Image understanding is one of the most important topics for various applications. Most of image understanding studies focus on content-based approach while some others also rely on meta data of images. Image understanding includes several sub-topics such as classification, segmentation, retrieval and automatic annotation etc., which are heavily studied recently. This thesis proposes several new methods and algorithms for image classification, retrieval and automatic tag generation. The proposed algorithms have been tested and verified in multiple platforms. For image classification, our proposed method can complete classification in real-time under hardware constraints of all-in-one printer and adaptively improve itself by online …


Breast Cancer Classification Of Mammographic Masses Using Circularity Max Metric, A New Method, Tae Keun Heo Jan 2016

Breast Cancer Classification Of Mammographic Masses Using Circularity Max Metric, A New Method, Tae Keun Heo

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Breast cancer classification can be divided into two categories. The first category is a benign tumor, and the other is a malignant tumor. The main purpose of breast cancer classification is to classify abnormalities into benign or malignant classes and thus help physicians with further analysis by minimizing potential errors that can be made by fatigued or inexperienced physicians. This paper proposes a new shape metric based on the area ratio of a circle to classify mammographic images into benign and malignant class. Support Vector Machine is used as a machine learning tool for training and classification purposes. The improved …


A New Fuzzy Membership Assignment And Model Selection Approach Based On Dynamic Class Centers For Fuzzy Svm Family Using The Firefly Algorithm, Omid Naghash Almasi, Modjtaba Rouhani Jan 2016

A New Fuzzy Membership Assignment And Model Selection Approach Based On Dynamic Class Centers For Fuzzy Svm Family Using The Firefly Algorithm, Omid Naghash Almasi, Modjtaba Rouhani

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The support vector machine (SVM) is a powerful tool for classification problems. Unfortunately, the training phase of the SVM is highly sensitive to noises in the training set. Noises are inevitable in real-world applications. To overcome this problem, the SVM was extended to a fuzzy SVM by assigning an appropriate fuzzy membership to each data point. However, suitable choice of fuzzy memberships and an accurate model selection raise fundamental issues. In this paper, we propose a new method based on optimization methods to simultaneously generate appropriate fuzzy membership and solve the model selection problem for the SVM family in linear/nonlinear …


A Comprehensive Comparison Of Features And Embedding Methods For Face Recognition, Hasan Serhan Yavuz, Hakan Çevi̇kalp, Ri̇fat Edi̇zkan Jan 2016

A Comprehensive Comparison Of Features And Embedding Methods For Face Recognition, Hasan Serhan Yavuz, Hakan Çevi̇kalp, Ri̇fat Edi̇zkan

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Face recognition is an essential issue in modern-day applications since it can be used in many areas for several purposes. Many methods have been proposed for face recognition. It is a difficult task since variations in lighting, instantaneous mimic varieties, posing angles, and scaling differences can drastically change the appearance of the face. To suppress these complications, effective feature extraction and proper alignment of face images gain as much importance as the recognition method choice. In this paper, we provide an extensive comparison of the state-of-the-art face recognition methods with the most well-known techniques used in feature representation. In order …


Integration Of Spectral And Spatial Information Via Local Covariance Matrices For Segmentation And Classification Of Hyperspectral Images, Uğur Ergül, Gökhan Bi̇lgi̇n Jan 2016

Integration Of Spectral And Spatial Information Via Local Covariance Matrices For Segmentation And Classification Of Hyperspectral Images, Uğur Ergül, Gökhan Bi̇lgi̇n

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this work, a novel approach is presented for the feature extraction step in hyperspectral image processing to form more discriminative features between different pixel regions. The proposed method combines both spatial and spectral information, which is very important for segmentation and classification of hyperspectral images. For comparison, five different feature sets are formed using eigen decomposition of local covariance matrices of subcubes located around a pixel of interest in the scene. Subcubes of neighbor pixels are obtained by a windowed structure to expose pattern similarities. As a novel approach, local covariance matrices are computed in eigenspace and proposed feature …

The advancements in wearable technology, where embedded accelerometers, gyroscopes and other sensors enable the users to actively monitor their activity have made it easier for individuals to pursue a healthy lifestyle. However, most of the existing applications expect continuous commitment from the end users, who need to proactively interact with the application in order to connect with friends and attain their goals. These applications fail to engage and motivate users who have busy schedules, or are not as committed and self-motivated. In this work, we present PRO-Fit, a personalized fitness assistant application that employs machine learning and recommendation algorithms in …
