Covering Based Pessimistic Multigranular Rough Equalities and their Properties

Covering Based Pessimistic Multigranular Rough Equalities and their Properties

B.K.Tripathy, S.C.Parida

Статья научная

The basic rough set theory introduced by Pawlak as a model to capture imprecision in data has been extended in many directions and covering based rough set models are among them. Again from the granular computing point of view, the basic rough sets are unigranular by nature. Two types of extensions to the context of multigranular computing are done; called the optimistic and pessimistic multigranulation by Qian et al in 2006 and 2010 respectively. Combining these two concepts of covering and multigranulation, covering based multigranular models have been introduced by Liu et al in 2012. Extending the stringent concept of mathematical equality of sets rough equalities were introduced by Novotny and Pawlak in 1985. Three more types of such approximate equalities were introduced by Tripathy in 2011. In this paper we study the approximate equalities introduced by Novotny and Pawlak from the pessimistic multigranular computing point of view and establish several of their properties. These concepts and properties are shown to be useful in approximate reasoning.

Creation of video summary with the extracted salient frames using color moment, color histogram and speeded up robust features

Creation of video summary with the extracted salient frames using color moment, color histogram and speeded up robust features

Статья научная

Over the last few years, the amount of video data has increased significantly. So, the necessity of video summarization has reached a new level. Video summarization is summarizing a large video with a fewer number of frames keeping the semantic content same. In this paper, we have proposed an approach which takes all the frames from a video and then shot boundaries are detected using the color moment and SURF (Speeded Up Robust Features). Then the redundancy of the similar frames is eliminated using the color histogram. Finally, a summary slide is generated with the remaining frames which are semantically similar to the total content of the original video. Our experimental result is calculated on the basis of a questionnaire-based user survey which shows on average 78% positive result whereas 3.5% negative result. This experimental result is quite satisfactory in comparison with the existing techniques.

Credible Mechanism for More Reliable Search Engine Results

Credible Mechanism for More Reliable Search Engine Results

Mohammed Abdel Razek

Статья научная

The number of websites on the Internet is growing randomly, thanks to HTML language. Consequently, a diversity of information is available on the Web, however, sometimes the content of it may be neither valuable nor trusted. This leads to a problem of a credibility of the existing information on these Websites. This paper investigates aspects affecting on the Websites credibility and then uses them along with dominant meaning of the query for improving information retrieval capabilities and to effectively manage contents. It presents a design and development of a credible mechanism that searches Web search engine and then ranks sites according to its reliability. Our experiments show that the credibility terms on the Websites can affect the ranking of the Web search engine and greatly improves retrieval effectiveness.

Credit Card Fraud Detection System Using Machine Learning

Credit Card Fraud Detection System Using Machine Learning

Angela Makolo, Tayo Adeboye

Статья научная

The security of any system is a key factor toward its acceptability by the general public. We propose an intuitive approach to fraud detection in financial institutions using machine learning by designing a Hybrid Credit Card Fraud Detection (HCCFD) system which uses the technique of anomaly detection by applying genetic algorithm and multivariate normal distribution to identify fraudulent transactions on credit cards. An imbalance dataset of credit card transactions was used to the HCCFD and a target variable which indicates whether a transaction is deceitful or otherwise. Using F-score as performance metrics, the model was tested and it gave a prediction accuracy of 93.5%, as against artificial neural network, decision tree and support vector machine, which scored 84.2%, 80.0% and 68.5% respectively, when trained on the same data set. The results obtained showed a significant improvement as compared with the other widely used algorithms.
