Supervised Sequence Labelling with Recurrent Neural Networks by Alex Graves Pdf

Supervised sequence labelling is a vital area of machine learning, encompassing tasks such as speech, handwriting and gesture recognition, protein secondary structure prediction and part-of-speech tagging. Recurrent neural networks are powerful sequence learning tools—robust to input noise and distortion, able to exploit long-range contextual information—that would seem ideally suited to such problems. However their role in large-scale sequence labelling systems has so far been auxiliary. The goal of this book is a complete framework for classifying and transcribing sequential data with recurrent neural networks only. Three main innovations are introduced in order to realise this goal. Firstly, the connectionist temporal classification output layer allows the framework to be trained with unsegmented target sequences, such as phoneme-level speech transcriptions; this is in contrast to previous connectionist approaches, which were dependent on error-prone prior segmentation. Secondly, multidimensional recurrent neural networks extend the framework in a natural way to data with more than one spatio-temporal dimension, such as images and videos. Thirdly, the use of hierarchical subsampling makes it feasible to apply the framework to very large or high resolution sequences, such as raw audio or video. Experimental validation is provided by state-of-the-art results in speech and handwriting recognition.

Emotional Cognitive Neural Algorithms with Engineering Applications by Leonid Perlovsky,Ross Deming,Roman Ilin Pdf

Dynamic logic (DL) recently had a highest impact on the development in several areas of modeling and algorithm design. The book discusses classical algorithms used for 30 to 50 years (where improvements are often measured by signal-to-clutter ratio), and also new areas, which did not previously exist. These achievements were recognized by National and International awards. Emerging areas include cognitive, emotional, intelligent systems, data mining, modeling of the mind, higher cognitive functions, evolution of languages and other. Classical areas include detection, recognition, tracking, fusion, prediction, inverse scattering, and financial prediction. All these classical areas are extended to using mixture models, which previously was considered unsolvable in most cases. Recent neuroimaging experiments proved that the brain-mind actually uses DL. „Emotional Cognitive Neural Algorithms with Engineering Applications“ is written for professional scientists and engineers developing computer and information systems, for professors teaching modeling and algorithms, and for students working on Masters and Ph.D. degrees in these areas. The book will be of interest to psychologists and neuroscientists interested in mathematical models of the brain and min das well.

New Trends in Agent-Based Complex Automated Negotiations by Takayuki Ito,Minjie Zhang,Valentin Robu,Shaheen Fatima,Tokuro Matsuo Pdf

Complex Automated Negotiations represent an important, emerging area in the field of Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems. Automated negotiations can be complex, since there are a lot of factors that characterize such negotiations. These factors include the number of issues, dependencies between these issues, representation of utilities, the negotiation protocol, the number of parties in the negotiation (bilateral or multi-party), time constraints, etc. Software agents can support automation or simulation of such complex negotiations on the behalf of their owners, and can provide them with efficient bargaining strategies. To realize such a complex automated negotiation, we have to incorporate advanced Artificial Intelligence technologies includes search, CSP, graphical utility models, Bayes nets, auctions, utility graphs, predicting and learning methods. Applications could include e-commerce tools, decision-making support tools, negotiation support tools, collaboration tools, etc. This book aims to provide a description of the new trends in Agent-based, Complex Automated Negotiation, based on the papers from leading researchers. Moreover, it gives an overview of the latest scientific efforts in this field, such as the platform and strategies of automated negotiating techniques.

New Advances in Intelligent Signal Processing by Antonio Ruano,Annamária R. Várkonyi-Kóczy Pdf

The current volume “New Advances in Intelligent Signal Processing” contains extended works based on a careful selection of papers presented originally at the jubilee sixth IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Signal Processing (WISP’2009), held in Budapest Hungary, August 26-28, 2009 - celebrating the 10 years anniversary of the WISP event series. The present book does not intent to be an overall survey on the fields of interest of the area, but tries to find topics which represent new, hot, and challenging problems. The book begins with papers investigating selected problems of Modeling, Identification, and Clustering such as fuzzy random variables, evolutionary multi-objective neural network models, a structural learning model of neural networks within a Boltzmann machine, a robust DNA-based clustering techniques, and the advances of combining multi-criteria analysis of signals and pattern recognition using machine learning principles. In the second part of the book Image Processing is treated. The carefully edited chapters deal with fuzzy relation based image enhancement, image contrast control technique based on the application of Łukasiewicz algebra operators, low complexity situational models of image quality improvement, flexible representation of map images to quantum computers, and object recognition in images. The last chapter presents an image processing application for elderly care, performing real-time 3D tracking based on a new evaluative multi-modal algorithm.
