Hybix: A Novel Encoding Bitmap Index For Space- And Time-Efficient Query Processing, Naphat Keawpibal, Ladda Preechaveerakul, Sirirut Vanichayobon

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

A bitmap-based index is an effective and efficient indexing method for answering selective queries in a read-only environment. It offers improved query execution time by applying low-cost Boolean operators on the index directly, before accessing raw data. A drawback of the bitmap index is that index size increases with the cardinality of indexed attributes, which additionally has an impact on a query execution time. This impact is related to an increase of query execution time due to the scanning of bitmap vectors to answer the queries. In this paper, we propose a new encoding bitmap index, called the HyBiX bitmap …

The proposed algorithm uses a divide and conquer technique to iteratively split the inputs domain into subdomains and each time refutes those subdomains that are inconsistent with the PCs. The remaining shrunken …


Adaptive Canonical Correlation Analysis For Harmonic Stimulation Frequencies Recognition In Ssvep-Based Bcis, Sahar Sadeghi, Ali Maleki Jan 2019

Adaptive Canonical Correlation Analysis For Harmonic Stimulation Frequencies Recognition In Ssvep-Based Bcis, Sahar Sadeghi, Ali Maleki

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) is the brain's response to quickly repetitive visual stimulus with a certain frequency. To increase the information transfer rate (ITR) in SSVEP-based systems, due to the frequency resolution restriction, we are forced to broaden the frequency range, which causes harmonic frequencies to come into the stimulation frequency range. Conventional canonical correlation analysis (CCA) may be associated with error for SSVEP frequency recognition at stimulation frequencies with harmonic relations. The number of harmonics considered to construct reference signals are determined adaptively; for frequencies whose second harmonic exists in the frequency range, two harmonics are used, and …

A Memory-Efficient Canonical Data Structure For Decimal Floating Point Arithmetic Systems Modeling And Verification, Mohammad Saeed Jahangiry, Saeed Safari Jan 2019

A Memory-Efficient Canonical Data Structure For Decimal Floating Point Arithmetic Systems Modeling And Verification, Mohammad Saeed Jahangiry, Saeed Safari

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Decimal floating point (DFP) number representation was proposed in IEEE-754-2008 in order to overcome binary floating point inaccuracy. Neglecting binary floating point verification has resulted in significant validity and economic losses. Formal verification can be a solution to similar DFP design problems. Verification techniques aiming at DFP are limited to functional methods whereas formal approaches have been neglected and traditional decision diagrams cannot model DFP representation complexity. In this paper, we propose an efficient canonical data structure that can model DFP properties. Our novel data structure models coefficient, exponent, sign, and bias of a DFP number. We will prove mathematically …

Unsupervised Deep Feature Embeddings For Speaker Diarization, Rehan Ahmad, Syed Zubair Jan 2019

Unsupervised Deep Feature Embeddings For Speaker Diarization, Rehan Ahmad, Syed Zubair

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Speaker diarization aims to determine ?who spoke when?? from multispeaker recording environments. In this paper, we propose to learn a set of high-level feature representations, referred to as feature embeddings, from an unsupervised deep architecture for speaker diarization. These sets of embeddings are learned through a deep autoencoder model when trained on mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) of input speech frames. Learned embeddings are then used in Gaussian mixture model based hierarchical clustering for diarization. The results show that these unsupervised embeddings are better compared to MFCCs in reducing the diarization error rate. Experiments conducted on the popular subset of the …

A Depth-Based Nearest Neighbor Algorithmfor High-Dimensional Data Classification, Sandhya Harikumar, Akhil A.S, Ramachandra Kaimal

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Nearest neighbor algorithms like k-nearest neighbors (kNN) are fundamental supervised learning techniques to classify a query instance based on class labels of its neighbors. However, quite often, huge volumes of datasets are not fully labeled and the unknown probability distribution of the instances may be uneven. Moreover, kNN suffers from challenges like curse of dimensionality, setting the optimal number of neighbors, and scalability for high-dimensional data. To overcome these challenges, we propose an improvised approach of classification via depth representation of subspace clusters formed from high-dimensional data. We offer a consistent and principled approach to dynamically choose the nearest neighbors …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Interest in multiobjective permutation flow shop scheduling (PFSS) has increased in the last decade to ensure effective resource utilization. This study presents a modified self-adaptive local search (MSALS) algorithm for the biobjective permutation flow shop scheduling problem where both makespan and total flow time objectives are minimized. Compared to existing sophisticated heuristic algorithms, MSALS is quite simple to apply to different biobjective PFSS instances without requiring effort or time for parameter tuning. Computational experiments showed that MSALS is either superior to current heuristics for Pareto sets or is incomparable due to other performance indicators of multiobjective problems.
