Visual Odometry Using Convolutional Neural Networks, Alec Graves, Steffen Lim, Thomas Fagan, Kevin Mcfall Phd.
Visual Odometry Using Convolutional Neural Networks, Alec Graves, Steffen Lim, Thomas Fagan, Kevin Mcfall Phd.
The Kennesaw Journal of Undergraduate Research
Visual odometry is the process of tracking an agent's motion over time using a visual sensor. The visual odometry problem has only been recently solved using traditional, non-machine learning techniques. Despite the success of neural networks at many related problems such as object recognition, feature detection, and optical flow, visual odometry still has not been solved with a deep learning technique. This paper attempts to implement several Convolutional Neural Networks to solve the visual odometry problem and compare slight variations in data preprocessing. The work presented is a step toward reaching a legitimate neural network solution.

A Comparative Study On Machine Learning Algorithms For Network Defense, Abdinur Ali, Yen-Hung Hu, Chung-Chu (George) Hsieh, Mushtaq Khan
Virginia Journal of Science
Network security specialists use machine learning algorithms to detect computer network attacks and prevent unauthorized access to their networks. Traditionally, signature and anomaly detection techniques have been used for network defense. However, detection techniques must adapt to keep pace with continuously changing security attacks. Therefore, machine learning algorithms always learn from experience and are appropriate tools for this adaptation. In this paper, ten machine learning algorithms were trained with the KDD99 dataset with labels, then they were tested with different dataset without labels. The researchers investigate the speed and the efficiency of these machine learning algorithms in terms of several …
Identifying Twitter Spam By Utilizing Random Forests, Humza S. Haider
Identifying Twitter Spam By Utilizing Random Forests, Humza S. Haider
Scholarly Horizons: University of Minnesota, Morris Undergraduate Journal
The use of Twitter has rapidly grown since the first tweet in 2006. The number of spammers on Twitter shows a similar increase. Classifying users into spammers and non-spammers has been heavily researched, and new methods for spam detection are developing rapidly. One of these classification techniques is known as random forests. We examine three studies that employ random forests using user based features, geo-tagged features, and time dependent features. Each study showed high accuracy rates and F-measures with the exception of one model that had a test set with a more realistic proportion of spam relative to typical testing …
Machine Learning With Scattering Transforms, Jacob Hansen, Gus Hart
Machine Learning With Scattering Transforms, Jacob Hansen, Gus Hart
Journal of Undergraduate Research
Our goal was to implement scattering transforms as a mathematical representation of materials. The intention of this project was to build intuition on this technique using model data in one and two dimensions. The tools created here will be used as templates in further projects on real materials data. The intuition built during this project is crucial to the machine learning framework for materials design that we hope to build in the near future.
Diagnosing Breast Cancer With A Neural Network, John Cullen
Diagnosing Breast Cancer With A Neural Network, John Cullen
Undergraduate Journal of Mathematical Modeling: One + Two
Fine needle aspiration (FNA) is a minimally invasive biopsy technique that can be used to successfully diagnose types of cancer, including breast cancer. Immediately, it is difficult for a human to spot any trends in the cell level data gathered during a fine needle aspiration procedure. One way to predict the type of tumor a patient has, is to use a computer to develop a mathematical model based on known data. This project utilizes the Diagnostic Wisconsin Breast Cancer Database (DWBCDB) to create an accurate mathematical model that predicts the type of a patient’s tumor (Malignant or Benign). A neural …

A Comparison Of Feature Extraction Techniques For Malware Analysis, Mohammad Imran, Muhammad Tanvir Afzal, Muhammad Abdul Qadir
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The manifold growth of malware in recent years has resulted in extensive research being conducted in the domain of malware analysis and detection, and theories from a wide variety of scientific knowledge domains have been applied to solve this problem. The algorithms from the machine learning paradigm have been particularly explored, and many feature extraction methods have been proposed in the literature for representing malware as feature vectors to be used in machine learning algorithms. In this paper we present a comparison of several feature extraction techniques by first applying them on system call logs of real malware, and then …

Late Fusion Of Facial Dynamics For Automatic Expression Recognition, Alessandra Bandrabur, Laura Florea, Cornel Florea, Matei Mancas
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Installment of a facial expression is associated with contractions and extensions of specific facial muscles. Noting that expression is about changes, we present a model for expression classification based on facial landmarks dynamics. Our model isolates the trajectory of facial fiducial points by wrapping them up in relevant features and discriminating among various alternatives with a machine learning classification system. The used features are geometric and temporal-based and the classification system is represented by a late fusion framework that combines several neural networks with binary responses. The proposed method is robust, being able to handle complex expression classes.
