This paper presents the multiclass classifier based on analytical center of feasible space (MACM). This multiclass classifier is formulated as quadratic constrained linear optimization and does not need repeatedly constructing classifiers to separate a single class from all the others. Its generalization error upper bound is proved theoretically. The experiments on benchmark datasets validate t...

Supervised classification algorithms aim at producing a learning model from a labeled training set. Various successful techniques have been proposed to solve the problem in the binary classification case. The multiclass classification case is more delicate, as many of the algorithms were introduced basically to solve binary classification problems. In this short survey we investigate the variou...

The application scenario for the ubiquitous home environment is proposed in this paper. The scenario is made using smart home appliances and an intelligent agent. The smart home appliances can communicate with each other through sensor networks and share the context via a home server. The intelligent agent autonomously learns preference of the house owner by analyzing the context data, and cont...

Supervised learning methods are effective when there are sufficient labeled instances. In many applications, such as object detection, document and web-page categorization, labeled instances however are difficult, expensive, or time consuming to obtain because they require empirical research or experienced human annotators. Semi-supervised learning algorithms use not only the labeled data but a...

Various home appliances and personal appliances are expected to be connected to the Internet in the near future, and the number of such appliances will become extremely large. The Internet will provide connectivity between nodes running various services and applications, in order to provide new advanced functionality. However, the conventional IP protocol is not expected to be sufficient for co...

background and aims: tooth displacement changes the periodontium. the aim of orthodontic treatment was desired tooth movement with minimum side effects on the alveolar bone quality. the aim of the present study was to assess changes of alveolar trabeculation among children, youth and adults and the two genders. materials and methods: in this cross-sectional study, 63 patients who had been treat...

the amount and consistency of the applied forces to the tooth are important factors in tooth movements; therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the initial force and the force loss of three brands of elastics in 24 hours.in this in-vitro study sixty non-latex elastics (3/16 medium) from three companies (forestadent, dentaurum and ortho technology) were randomly selected. two static test...

introduction: the ability to accurately measure forces produced by orthodontic appliances during orthodontic treatment is desirable. the aim of the present study was to compare forces measured by mechanical formulae designed with a software program and those experimentally measured by a dynamometer to find a scientific way to determine the exact amount of activation needed for applying a force ...
