For the purpose of the vertex decimation process presented in the previous work, the neighboring information between points is necessary. Therefore, a nearest neighbors search scheme, considering the local complexity of the processing point, is used to determinate the neighbors for each point in a point geometry. With the constructed virtual connectivity, the secret message can be embedded successfully after the vertex decimation and data embedding processes. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can preserve the advantages of previous work, including higher estimation accuracy, high embedding capacity, acceptable model distortion, and robustness against similarity transformation attacks. Most importantly, this work is the first 3D steganographic algorithm for point geometry with adaptation.展开更多

The key step of manifold learning algorithm is the neighboring region selection. However,so far for the references we know,few of which propose a generally accepted algorithm to well select the neighboring region. So in this paper,we propose an adaptive neighboring selection algorithm,which successfully applies the LLE and ISOMAP algorithms in the test. It is an algorithm that can find the optimal K nearest neighbors of the data points on the manifold. And the theoretical basis of the algorithm is the approximated curvature of the data point on the manifold. Based on Riemann Geometry,Jacob matrix is a proper mathematical concept to predict the approximated curvature. By verifying the proposed algorithm on embedding Swiss roll from R3 to R2 based on LLE and ISOMAP algorithm,the simulation results show that the proposed adaptive neighboring selection algorithm is feasible and able to find the optimal value of K,making the residual variance relatively small and better visualization of the results. By quantitative analysis,the embedding quality measured by residual variance is increased 45. 45% after using the proposed algorithm in LLE.展开更多

Firstly, some experiments about the operator search ability are given and the performance of operators with different donate vectors is analyzed. Then, DAS is presented by inducing the upper confidence bound strategy, which chooses suitable combination of operators and donates sets to optimize solutions without prior knowledge. Finally, the DAS is used under the framework of the multi-objective evolutionary algorithm based on decomposition, and the multi-objective evolutionary algorithm based on DAS(MOEA/D-DAS) is compared to state-of-the-art MOEAs. Simulation results validate that the MOEA/D-DAS could select the suitable combination of operators and donate sets to optimize problems and the proposed algorithm has better convergence and distribution.展开更多

In this paper, Pruned Fuzzy K-nearest neighbor (PFKNN) classifier is proposed to classify six types of beats present in the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia database. We have tested our classifier on ~ 103100 beats for six beat types present in the database. Fuzzy KNN (FKNN) can be implemented very easily but large number of training examples used for classification can be very time consuming and requires large storage space. Hence, we have proposed a time efficient Arif-Fayyaz pruning algorithm especially suitable for FKNN which can maintain good classification accuracy with appropriate retained ratio of training data. By using Arif-Fayyaz pruning algorithm with Fuzzy KNN, we have achieved a beat classification accuracy of 97% and geometric mean of sensitivity of 94.5% with only 19% of the total training examples. The accuracy and sensitivity is comparable to FKNN when all the training data is used. Principal Component Analysis is used to further reduce the dimension of feature space from eleven to six without compromising the accuracy and sensitivity. PFKNN was found to robust against noise present in the ECG data.展开更多

In this article, in view of the characteristics that the traffic flow changes repeatedly, a short-term traffic flow forecasting method based on a three-layer K-nearest neighbor non-parametric regression algorithm is proposed. Specifically, two screening layers based on shape similarity were introduced in K-nearest neighbor non-parametric regression method, and the forecasting results were output using the weighted averaging on the reciprocal values of the shape similarity distances and the most-similar-point distance adjustment method. According to the experimental results, the proposed algorithm has improved the predictive ability of the traditional K-nearest neighbor non-parametric regression method, and greatly enhanced the accuracy and real-time performance of short-term traffic flow forecasting.展开更多

It should be controlled within a specific range, however, most of existing PEMFC mathematical models are too complicated to be effectively applied to on-line control. In this paper, input-output data and operating experiences will be used to establish PEMFC stack model and operating temperature control system. An adaptive learning algorithm and a nearest-neighbor clustering algorithm are applied to regulate the parameters and fuzzy rules so that the model and the control system are able to obtain higher accuracy. In the end, the simulation and the experimental results are presented and compared with traditional PID and fuzzy control algorithms.展开更多

文摘The k-Nearest Neighbor method is one of the most popular techniques for both classification and regression purposes.Because of its operation,the application of this classification may be limited to problems with a certain number of instances,particularly,when run time is a consideration.However,the classification of large amounts of data has become a fundamental task in many real-world applications.It is logical to scale the k-Nearest Neighbor method to large scale datasets.This paper proposes a new k-Nearest Neighbor classification method(KNN-CCL)which uses a parallel centroid-based and hierarchical clustering algorithm to separate the sample of training dataset into multiple parts.The introduced clustering algorithm uses four stages of successive refinements and generates high quality clusters.The k-Nearest Neighbor approach subsequently makes use of them to predict the test datasets.Finally,sets of experiments are conducted on the UCI datasets.The experimental results confirm that the proposed k-Nearest Neighbor classification method performs well with regard to classification accuracy and performance.
文摘The operating temperature of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell stack is a very important control parameter. It should be controlled within a specific range, however, most of existing PEMFC mathematical models are too complicated to be effectively applied to on-line control. In this paper, input-output data and operating experiences will be used to establish PEMFC stack model and operating temperature control system. An adaptive learning algorithm and a nearest-neighbor clustering algorithm are applied to regulate the parameters and fuzzy rules so that the model and the control system are able to obtain higher accuracy. In the end, the simulation and the experimental results are presented and compared with traditional PID and fuzzy control algorithms.
