Title: Structure learning for belief rule base expert system: A comparative study

Authors: Leilei Chang, Yu Zhou, Jiang Jiang, Mengjun Li, Xiaohang Zhang

Abstract: The Belief Rule Base (BRB) is an expert system which can handle both qualitative and quantitative information. One of the applications of the BRB is the Rule-base Inference Methodology using the Evidential Reasoning approach (RIMER). Using the BRB, RIMER can handle different types of information under uncertainty. However, there is a combinatorial explosion problem when there are too many attributes and/or too many alternatives for each attribute in the BRB. Most current approaches are designed to reduce the number of the alternatives for each attribute, where the rules are derived from physical systems and redundant in numbers. However, these approaches are not applicable when the rules are given by experts and the BRB should not be oversized. A structure learning approach is proposed using Grey Target (GT), Multidimensional Scaling (MDS), Isomap and Principle Component Analysis (PCA) respectively, named as GT–RIMER, MDS–RIMER, Isomap–RIMER and PCA–RIMER. A case is studied to evaluate the overall capability of an Armored System of Systems. The efficiency of the proposed approach is validated by the case study results: the BRB is downsized using any of the four techniques, and PCA–RIMER has shown excellent performance. Furthermore, the robustness of PCA–RIMER is further verified under different conditions with varied number of attributes.

Engineering Mathematics: The Odd Order Theorem Proof

Title: Engineering Mathematics: The Odd Order Theorem Proof

Authors: Georges Gonthier

Abstract: Even with the assistance of computer tools, the formalized description and verification of research-level mathematics remains a daunting task, not least because of the talent with which mathematicians combine diverse theories to achieve their ends. By combining tools and techniques from type theory, language design, and software engineering we have managed to capture enough of these practices to formalize the proof of the Odd Order theorem, a landmark result in Group Theory.

Title: Low Power VLSI Implementation of Adaptive Noise Canceller Based on LeastMean Square Algorithm

Authors: Vakulabharanam Ramakrishna, Tipparti Anil Kumar

Abstract: This paper presents VLSI implementation of adaptive noise canceller based on least mean square algorithm. First, the adaptive parameters are obtained by simulating noise canceller on MATLAB. Simulink model of adaptive noise canceller was developed and the noise is suppressed to a much larger extent in recovering the original signal. The data such as input and output signals, desired signal, step size factor and coefficients of adaptive filter was processed by FPGA. Finally, the functions of field programmable gate array -based system structure for adaptive noise canceller based on LMS algorithm are synthesized, simulated, and implemented on XilinxXC3s200 field programmable gate array using Xilinx ISE tool. The research results show that it is feasible to implement and use adaptive least mean square filter based adaptive noise canceller design which consumed a low power of 0.156W at29.1° C in a single field programmable gate array chip.

Information Fusion and Discounting Techniques for Decision Support in Aerospace

Title: Information Fusion and Discounting Techniques for Decision Support in Aerospace

Authors: Fiona Browne , Yan Jin , Niall Rooney Hui Wang

Abstract: Decision makers are required to make critical decisions throughout all stages of a life-cycle in large-scale projects. These decisions are important as they impact upon the outcome and the success of projects. In this paper we present an evidential reasoning framework to aid decision-makers in the decision - making process. This approach utilizes the Dezert-Smarandache Theory (DSm) to fuse heterogeneous evidence sources that suffer from levels of uncertainty, imprecision and conflicts to provide beliefs for decision options. To analyze the impact that source reliability and priority has upon the decision making process a reliability discounting technique along with a priority discounting technique are applied. Application of the evidential reasoning framework is illustrated using a Case Study based in the Aerospace domain.

The alpha parallelogram predictor: A lossless compression method for motion capture data

Title: The alpha parallelogram predictor: A lossless compression method for motion capture data

Authors: Pengjie Wang , Zhigeng Pan d,a , Mingmin Zhang a, , Rynson WH Lau c , Haiyu Song

Abstract: Motion capture data in an uncompressed form can be expensive to store, and slow to load and transmit. Current compression methods for motion capture data are primarily lossy and cause distortions in the motion data. In this paper, we present a lossless compression algorithm for motion capture data. First, we propose a novel Alpha Parallelogram Predictor (APP) to estimate the DOF (degree of freedom) of each child joint from those of its immediate neighbors and parents that have already been processed. The prediction parameter of the predictor, which is referred to as the alpha parameter, is adaptively chosen from a care- fully designed lookup table. Second, we divide the predicted and actual values into three components: sign, exponent and mantissa. We then compress their corrections separately with context-based arithmetic coding. Compared with other lossless compression methods, our approach can achieve a higher compression ratio with a comparable compression time. It can be used in situations where lossy compression is not preferred.
