Abstract. In this paper, we propose a probabilistic framework for predicting the root causes of errors in data processing pipelines made up of several components when we only have access to partial feedback; that is, we are aware when some error has occurred in one or more of the components, but we do not know which one. The proposed error model enables us to direct the user feedback to the cor...

Abstract—Adapting transmission parameters to the future channel state is an appealing approach to improve efficiency in wireless communication. Adaptation requires predicting the channel state. Current channel-adaptive techniques assume perfect prediction. In this paper, we claim that neglecting the prediction error leads to poor performance results, possibly even worse than without prediction ...

In this paper, a new approach is proposed in order to select an optimal membership function for inputs of wind speed prediction system. Then using a fuzzy method and the stochastic characteristics of wind speed in the previous year, the wind speed modeling is performed and the wind speed for the future year will be predicted. In this proposed method, the average and the standard deviation of in...

In view of pollution prediction modeling, the study adopts homogenous (random forest, bagging, and additive regression) and heterogeneous (voting) ensemble classifiers to predict the atmospheric concentration of Sulphur dioxide. For model validation, results were compared against widely known single base classifiers such as support vector machine, multilayer perceptron, linear regression and re...

This paper presents a new technique to index and retrieve texture image. The image is modeled with the two-dimensional one-sided linear prediction (OSP) model. The prediction coefficients, normalized mean-square prediction error and a set of seven invariant moments of the prediction error are used as features to index the image. The proposed method is highly successful in retrieving perceptuall...

‎Financial market modeling and prediction is a difficult problem and drastic changes of the price causes nonlinear dynamic that makes the price prediction one of the most challenging tasks for economists‎. ‎Since markets always have been interesting for traders‎, ‎many traders with various beliefs are highly active in a market‎. ‎The competition among two agents of traders‎, ‎namely trend follo...

The presence of part-through cracks with limited length is one of the prevalent defects in the plate structures. Due to the slight effect of this type of damages on the frequency response of the plates, conventional vibration-based damage assessment could be a challenging task. In this study for the first time, a recently developed state-space method which is based on the chaotic excitation is ...

Cross-validation was originally invented to estimate the prediction error of a mathematical modelling procedure. It can be shown that cross-validation estimates the prediction error almost unbiasedly. Nonetheless, there are numerous reports in the chemoinformatic literature that cross-validated figures of merit cannot be trusted and that a so-called external test set has to be used to estimate ...

Motion segmentation is traditionally coupled with motion detection, where each image region corresponds to a particular motion model which accounts for the temporal changes in the region. Using the motion model to estimate the second frame from the rst frame, for example, should give a very low prediction error in the corresponding region. To relax the need for accurate motion models, it is pro...
