Based on the analysis of endoscope image, in this paper, a new color quantification method is proposed to extract improved CCV and the V component shape invariant moment achieving image feature base. Inspiring from general information searching, the two-level content-based endoscope image retrieval is represented using the improved CCV and V component shape invariant moment guaranteeing the first retrieval recall. Experiments prove the efficiency of these methods.

Sensory Engineering (SE) was applied in fashion industry for market exploring, consumer behavior evaluation and personalized product designing. The consumer perceptions on products were investigated and analyzed. The fashion sensory data were established for style, color, image according to the results of investigation and analysis. The expert systems based on fuzzy set theory was developed to describe the sensory on clothing in accordance with professional knowledge and consumer preference. The established expert system could be applied for product designing and fashion trends tracing in garment industry. The example was presented for fuzzy logic method application on separating and describing sensory data of fashion products.

Although researchers have made great progresses on music genre classification in recent years, the need for more accurate system is still not satisfied. In this paper, we propose a method for further reducing the classification error rate based on multiple classifier fusion. First of all, MFCCs and four features from MPEG-7 audio descriptor are extracted in every short time frame, and then a group of frames are gathered into a longer segment, in which mean and variance of these short time frames features are calculated. The segment is considered as the basic unit for training and testing module. Then random forest (RF) and multilayer perceptron neural network (MLP) are executed on such segment independently. Finally, a weighted voting fusion strategy is employed to fusion the result of the two classifiers on each segment, and the whole file decision is made by selecting the most frequently labeled genre over all the segments. Experiments showed that the approach is effective. The fusion result gets 12.4% relative reduction in error rate compared to our baseline system.

The paper aims to present a globally exponential synchronization and parameter regulation scheme for a class of time-varying neural networks, which covers the Hopfield neural networks and cellular neural networks. By combining the adaptive control method and the Razumikhin-type theorem, a delay-independent and decentralized linear-feedback control with appropriate updated law is designed to achieve the globally exponential synchronization. The regulating law of parameters can be directly constructed. Hopfield neural networks with time-varying delays is given to show the effectiveness of the presented synchronization scheme.

During the past few years, semi-supervised learning has become a hot topic in machine learning and data mining, since manually labeling training examples is a tedious, error prone and time-consuming task in many practical applications. As one of the most predominant semi-supervised learning algorithms, co-training has drawn much attention and shown its superiority in many applications. So far, there have been a variety of variants of co-training algorithms aiming to settle practical problems. In order to launch an effective co-training process, these variants as a whole create their diversities in four different ways, i.e. two-view level, underlying classifiers level, datasets level and active learning level. This paper gives a review on co-training style algorithms just from this view and presents typical examples and analysis for each level respectively.

Existing search algorithms for peer to peer networks are based on broadcast of query messages over the relationship connectivity among nodes in the network. In this paper, we describes our research effort to design and implement an agent based adaptive search algorithm that allows for searching in distributed systems. Autonomous adaptive agents are modeled after several ecological concepts and mechanisms. We focus on the problem of actively changing the topology of the peer to peer network by utilizing Schelling's segregation model to improve the efficiency of search. Our simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is scalable and robust to dynamic changes in a network.
