Variable Threshold Algorithm for Division of Labor Analyzed as a Dynamical System
Publication Year: 2014, Page(s):2242 - 2252
Cited by: Papers (1)Division of labor is a widely studied aspect of colony behavior of social insects. Division of labor models indicate how individuals distribute themselves in order to perform different tasks simultaneously. However, models that study division of labor from a dynamical system point of view cannot be found in the literature. In this paper, we define a division of labor model as a discrete-time dynam...

Correlation Dimension-Based Classifier
Publication Year: 2014, Page(s):2253 - 2263Correlation dimension (CD), singularity exponents, also called scaling exponents, are widely used in multifractal chaotic series analysis. CD and other measures of effective dimensionality are used for characterization of data in applications. A direct use of CD to multidimensional data classification has not been hitherto presented. There are observations that the correlation integral is a distri... View full abstract»

Flowing on Riemannian Manifold: Domain Adaptation by Shifting Covariance
Publication Year: 2014, Page(s):2264 - 2273
Cited by: Papers (18)Domain adaptation has shown promising results in computer vision applications. In this paper, we propose a new unsupervised domain adaptation method called domain adaptation by shifting covariance (DASC) for object recognition without requiring any labeled samples from the target domain. By characterizing samples from each domain as one covariance matrix, the source and target domain are represent... View full abstract»

A Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithm Based on Similarity for Community Detection From Signed Social Networks
Publication Year: 2014, Page(s):2274 - 2287
Cited by: Papers (64)Various types of social relationships, such as friends and foes, can be represented as signed social networks (SNs) that contain both positive and negative links. Although many community detection (CD) algorithms have been proposed, most of them were designed primarily for networks containing only positive links. Thus, it is important to design CD algorithms which can handle large-scale SNs. To th... View full abstract»

Expressive Body Movement Responses to Music Are Coherent, Consistent, and Low Dimensional
Publication Year: 2014, Page(s):2288 - 2301
Cited by: Papers (6)Embodied music cognition stresses the role of the human body as mediator for the encoding and decoding of musical expression. In this paper, we set up a low dimensional functional model that accounts for 70% of the variability in the expressive body movement responses to music. With the functional principal component analysis, we modeled individual body movements as a linear combination of a group... View full abstract»

Robust Face Recognition via Adaptive Sparse Representation
Publication Year: 2014, Page(s):2368 - 2378
Cited by: Papers (95)Sparse representation (or coding)-based classification (SRC) has gained great success in face recognition in recent years. However, SRC emphasizes the sparsity too much and overlooks the correlation information which has been demonstrated to be critical in real-world face recognition problems. Besides, some paper considers the correlation but overlooks the discriminative ability of sparsity. Diffe... View full abstract»

Consistencies and Contradictions of Performance Metrics in Multiobjective Optimization
Publication Year: 2014, Page(s):2391 - 2404
Cited by: Papers (86)An important consideration of multiobjective optimization (MOO) is the quantitative metrics used for defining the optimality of different solution sets, which is also the basic principle for the design and evaluation of MOO algorithms. Although a plethora of performance metrics have been proposed in the MOO context, there has been a lack of insights on the relationships between metrics. In this pa... View full abstract»

Cited by: Papers (27)In this paper, we present an automatic approach for facial expression recognition from 3-D video sequences. In the proposed solution, the 3-D faces are represented by collections of radial curves and a Riemannian shape analysis is applied to effectively quantify the deformations induced by the facial expressions in a given subsequence of 3-D frames. This is obtained from the dense scalar field, wh... View full abstract»

Last-Position Elimination-Based Learning Automata
Publication Year: 2014, Page(s):2484 - 2492
Cited by: Papers (41)An update scheme of the state probability vector of actions is critical for learning automata (LA). The most popular is the pursuit scheme that pursues the estimated optimal action and penalizes others. This paper proposes a reverse philosophy that leads to last-position elimination-based learning automata (LELA). The action graded last in terms of the estimated performance is penalized by decreas... View full abstract»

Social Image Tagging With Diverse Semantics
Publication Year: 2014, Page(s):2493 - 2508
Cited by: Papers (27)We have witnessed the popularity of image-sharing websites for sharing personal experiences through photos on the Web. These websites allow users describing the content of their uploaded images with a set of tags. Those user-annotated tags are often noisy and biased. Social image tagging aims at removing noisy tags and suggests new relevant tags. However, most existing tag enrichment approaches pr... View full abstract»

Optimal Object Association in the Dempster–Shafer Framework
Publication Year: 2014, Page(s):2521 - 2531
Cited by: Papers (26)Object association is a crucial step in target tracking and data fusion applications. This task can be formalized as the search for a relation between two sets (e.g., a sets of tracks and a set of observations) in such a way that each object in one set is matched with at most one object in the other set. In this paper, this problem is tackled using the formalism of belief functions. Evidence about... View full abstract»
