▼ Cette thèse a pour but de définir et concevoir de nouvelles techniques de représentation des signauxacoustiques sous-marins. Notre objectif est d’interpréter, reconnaître et identifier de façon automatique lessignaux sous-marins émanant du système sonar. L’idée ici n’est pas de substituer la machine à l’officiermarinier, dont l’expérience et la finesse d’ouïe le rendent indispensable à ce poste, mais d’automatiser certainstraitements de l’information pour soulager l’analyste et lui offrir une aide à la décision.Dans cette thèse, nous nous inspirons de ce qui se fait de mieux dans ce domaine : l’humain. A bord d’un sousmarin,ce sont des experts de l’analyse des sons à qui l’on confie la tâche d'écoute des signaux afin de repérerles sons suspects. Ce qui nous intéresse, c’est cette capacité de l’humain à déterminer la classe d’un signalsonore sur la base de son acuité auditive. En effet, l’oreille humaine a le pouvoir de différencier deux sonsdistincts à travers des critères perceptuels psycho-acoustiques tels que le timbre, la hauteur, l’intensité.L’opérateur est également aidé par des représentations du signal sonore dans le plan temps-fréquence quiviennent s’afficher sur son poste de travail. Ainsi nous avons conçu une représentation qui se rapproche de laphysiologie de l’oreille humaine, autrement dit de la façon dont l’homme entend et perçoit les fréquences. Pourconstruire cet espace de représentation, nous utiliserons un algorithme que nous avons appelé l’Hearingogramet sa version débruitée le Denoised Hearingoram. Toutes ces représentations seront en entrée d’un systèmed’identification automatique, qui a été conçu durant cette thèse et qui est basé sur l’utilisation des SVM.
This thesis aims to identify and develop new representation methods of the underwater acoustic signals. Ourgoal is to interpret, recognize and automatically identify underwater signals from sonar system. The idea hereis not to replace the machine petty officer, whose experience and hearing finesse make it indispensable for thisposition, but to automate certain processing information to relieve the analyst and offer support to the decision.In this thesis, we are inspired by what is best in this area: the human. On board a submarine, they are experts inthe analysis of sounds that are entrusted to the listening task signals to identify suspicious sounds. Whatinterests us is the ability of the human to determine the class of a sound signal on the basis of his hearing.Indeed, the human ear has the power to differentiate two distinct sounds through psychoacoustic perceptualcriteria such as tone, pitch, intensity. The operator is also helped by representations of the sound signal in thetime-frequency plane coming displayed on the workstation. So we designed a representation that approximatesthe physiology of the human ear, i.e how humans hear and perceive frequencies. To construct thisrepresentation space, we will use an algorithm that we called the Hearingogram and a denoised version theDenoised Hearingoram. All these representations will input…

▼ This dissertation describes the use of extrema
features for the purposes of localization and pattern matching in time-series data. One of the principle contributions of this work is to develop a wavelet-based framework to extract extrema
features from raw data. The utility of these
features is then demonstrated through different applications in pitch and acceleration-based localization. Another major contribution is the formulation of the filter optimization problem to obtain robust extrema as an eigenvalue problem with a tractable solution. This optimization framework which was conceived and formulated in a 'deterministic' sense was finally extended to the stochastic domain. This extension resulted in interesting theoretical results that show that the filters of the Discrete Sine Transform are the optimal filters for extracting extrema from Gaussian random walk data. Finally, the nature of the optimal filters for the case of general random walk data was also explored.

Numeral induced agreement mismatches in Serbo-Croatian.

▼ Certain numeral phrases in the
subject position in Serbo-Croatian trigger apparent mismatches in terms of
features between the verb and the quantified noun. The behavior of numerals in Serbo-Croatian follows predictable trends observed in other Slavic languages in forming natural groups of cardinal numbers that impose distinct forms on the nominal elements and trigger different verbal agreement. Apart from numeral 1, which behaves like a true adjective and has no effect on the verbal morphology, cardinal numerals 2, 3 and 4 on the one hand, and 5 and above on the other, give rise to seemingly unexpected verbal forms. Similarly, the two sets of collective numerals – masculine collectives and mixed collectives, also exhibit agreement mismatches. In this thesis I focus on cardinal numbers and collective numerals in Serbo-Croatian, and I discuss agreement patterns that these numerals impose on the elements in both the nominal and the verbal domain.
To account for the behavior of different numerals, I propose that they are endowed with distinct feature specifications. Whereas numeral 1 one enters the derivation with all its
features unvalued, numerals 2, 3 and 4 have inherently valued number feature and unvalued gender feature. 5+ numerals are defective in that they lack the gender feature altogether, but have an unvalued number feature. Similarly, masculine collective numerals behave on a par with 2, 3, 4 cardinals in having inherently valued number, but unvalued gender
features. Mixed collectives, on the other hand, behave like 5+ cardinals and have only unvalued number
features. I further argue that the observed verbal patterns are the result of the agreement or in some instances the lack of agreement with the numeral. Additionally, the behavior of adjectival elements with respect to scopal relations and agreement patterns also depends on the type of the numeral (i.e. cardinal or collective) as well as the feature specification of the numeral.
By assigning the proposed feature specification to different groups of Serbo-Croatian numerals, I implicitly suggest that they indeed are in-between categories, as previously suggested by Klockmann (2012) for Polish. If the categories of nouns and adjectives are defined by their feature specification as in Baker (2003), numerals seem to fall somewhere in between the two categories.

▼ Both in the course of doing research and writing this thesis I have benefitted from the support and This study explores the main
features of guidance and counseling services in selected secondary schools of Addis Ababa and the views of stakeholders about their effectiveness and usefulness under five research questions. The research sought to evaluate the ways in which the problems faced by the youth and the concern with the normal conduct of the learning and teaching problems determined the
features of ongoing school guidance and counseling services and the considerations on the basis of which stakeholders value them as effective and useful. Empirical data consisted of both quantitative and qualitative information. The quantitative data was solicited through questionnaires that surveyed a total of 234 respondents (166 students, 8 counselors, 42 teachers, 13 administrators, and 5 parents). The qualitative data was collected through interviews with selected representatives from each of the groups who participated. Existing literature was reviewed to provide context in which current practices in secondary schools of Addis Ababa should be understood and their effectiveness evaluated. For quantitative data, for percentages and frequencies were calculated. The study revealed that school guidance and counseling in secondary schools of Addis Ababa is organized and delivered in order to meet some of the immediate and pressing needs of students (including destitution, violence, irregular attendance, HIV/AIDS, and substance abuse) and deal with problems that are believed to negatively affect the teaching and learning process, not as a package of programs put together to enhance the intellectual and personal development of the student. Judgment about effectiveness and usefulness of the services varied from school to school and also depending on the demographic characteristics of the respondents. However, on most of the criteria used to measure effectiveness and usefulness, the majority of respondents viewed the services as effective and useful. The responses were also consistent regarding the factors that negatively affected the effectiveness of the services. Based on the findings, recommendations are made about how school guidance and counseling in the city's secondary schools might be improved in the short term, and changed in the long term. It is suggested that interventions to improve the current system should focus on awareness creation, better coordination, and collaboration between counselors and their colleagues, and move away from violence as a means of enforcing discipline. Change in the long term should involve a rethinking of school guidance and counseling in order to establish it in the school system on sound scientific and professional grounds.

▼ These days, most software companies work on complex projects that require a collaboration of multiple people across many geographic locations. Managers in such companies are responsible for integrating many complex projects while maintaining high accuracy and precision. However, due to increased complexity and the short time in which releases are expected, software projects often suffer from poor management and lack of quality project oversight. There is a consensus that project oversight plays a major and critical role in producing and sustaining quality software. With project management information systems, companies can coherently organize information required to accomplish projects successfully. These systems help to develop, execute, and monitor project management objectives. Therefore, the development of a system for monitoring project execution is very important for the success of any organization.
Currently, many organizations use tools, such as JIRA, Workzone, and others for managing complex software projects. However, these tools are associated with problems, such as high deployment and training costs, unrequired
features, User Interface (UI) clutter issues, etc. Free project management software solutions might be prone to security problems and often contain unwanted advertisements.
The purpose of this project is to develop an inexpensive, user-friendly and customizable alternate project oversight system to simplify the supervision of IT projects. The proposed system can be used by managers to oversee and manage software projects. The core functions of the system will include documenting project information, monitoring project quality by tracking bugs, conducting oversight assessments, collecting relevant project deliverables, generating project oversight reports, and providing a platform for employees to communicate and exchange information. The system will also allow staff to track project details, such as project scope, timeframe, and risk management.

▼ The natural phenomena simulation in computer graphics is commonly achieved by the procedural methods or the physics model. However, these approaches are hard to directly approach the visual experience. On the other hand, the image reconstruction works can provide the outcome based on real images but lack of interactivity and efficiency on using image resource. For solving these drawbacks, we propose a novel method that enhances the fire simulation effect using the visual learning of image
features and generates continuous animations by integrating with procedural methods.
We first obtain the dynamics of fire contour by binarization and edge detection. The information extracted from images is gathered into a set of feature data called fire profile. To generate a long sequence of fire animation from a short clip of fire video, we propose two approaches of visual learning to utilize fire profile to produce continuous animation. One is to use the fire image to setup a color value lookup table which contains the average color value of the fire spatial divisions; the other is to design a state machine for describing fire wiggling movement that can generate effects based on userâs input. During the rendering stage of 3D visualization, we set up the fire volume which connecting the feature points of two cross-views by the cubic spline. Then the edge points found on the fire volume can be used as the contour points of the supplementing slices and generate these supplements inside the planned fire volume to formulate a complete fire effect. The proposed method can raise not only the visual reality but also the interactive ability compared with the existing work.

▼ This research aims to help app store owners translate their app store strategy into app store
features and policies. At first a definition of app stores is given to scope the research. After that literature is studied to identify app store strategies. This resulted in an app store strategy model that models the app store strategy based on four dimensions. A multiple case study was performed on six app stores: Google Play, SlideMe, Apple Appstore, Binpress, Amazon appstore for Android and Intel AppUp. This study aimed to identify the
features and policies used by app stores. The six sequential case studies resulted in an app store classification model with 67
features and 24 policies. The classification model is categorized based on the main influenced app store characteristic. In the last part of this research a mapping is made between the dimensions of the app store strategic model and the
features and policies.

▼ In this thesis, we focus on several important fields on real-world image texture analysis and recognition. We survey various important features that are suitable for texture analysis. Apart from the issue of variety of features, different types of texture datasets are also discussed in-depth. There is no thorough work covering the important databases and analyzing them in various viewpoints. We persuasively categorize texture databases ? based on many references. In this survey, we put a categorization to split these texture datasets into few basic groups and later put related datasets. Next, we exhaustively analyze eleven second-order statistical features or cues based on co-occurrence matrices to understand image texture surface. These features are exploited to analyze properties of image texture. The features are also categorized based on their angular orientations and their applicability. Finally, we propose a method called diagonal-crisscross local binary pattern (DCLBP) for texture recognition. We also propose two other extensions of the local binary pattern. Compare to the local binary pattern and few other extensions, we achieve that our proposed method performs satisfactorily well in two very challenging benchmark datasets, called the KTH-TIPS (Textures under varying Illumination, Pose and Scale) database, and the USC-SIPI (University of Southern California ? Signal and Image Processing Institute) Rotations Texture dataset.

▼ In computer vision applications face recognition
has become one of the famous biometric techniques having a number
of real world applications like human/computer interaction,
surveillance, authentication, computer user interfaces and so on.
The sensitivity of available classifiers to factors like
illumination, pose variation, real world problems, uncontrolled
environment and lack of robust features for classification are
amongst the main problems that the researchers are facing so far.
The objective of this study is to formulate a set of new approaches
of face recognition, that are robust against various conditions of
human face recognition including face recognition under controlled/
ideal conditions, varying lighting conditions, facial expression
and pose conditions, which give higher accuracy as compared to some
recent existing approaches. In general, the recognition of face
images is based on their description by a set of measurable
quantities called invariants that are insensitive to particular
deformations and provide enough discrimination power to distinguish
among various persons. Thereafter, only these invariant features
are used in the recognition process and as such these extracted
invariant features should be able to describe the appearance and
structure of faces with only a few parameters and should
efficiently represent the variations likely to occur in the face
images of same or different persons. Moment based invariant
features provide compact representation of the images and the same
are invariant to the image rotation and the noise. Due to this
quality, these are the widely used image descriptors in several
applications like character recognition, image analysis and image
retrieval. In this study, the performance of radial moment based
approaches namely Zernike moments (ZMs) and pseudo Zernike moments
(PZMs) have been analyzed for the recognition of face
images.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aims of this thesis are to identify all possible modes of operaton for a multi-stage axial flow
compressor; then to characterise the performance, attempt to numerically model operation, and
determine the main flow field
features for each mode.
Four quadrant axial flow compressor operation occurs when the direction of flow through
the compressor or the sign of the pressure difference across the compressor reverses, or any
combination of these. Depending on the direction of rotation of the compressor, six modes
of operation are possible in the four quadrants of the performance map. The rotor rotates in
the design direction for three modes, and in the opposite direction for the other three. The
stationary-rotor pressure characteristic is S-shaped and passes through the second and fourth
quadrants.
A three-stage axial flow compressor operating in the incompressible flow regime was used
for the experimental investigation. Flow through the compressor was reversed or augmented by
means of an auxiliary axial flow fan. Compressor performance was measured by means of static
pressure tappings, a turbine anemometer calibrated to measure forward and reversed volumetric
flow and a load cell for torque measurement. The inter-blade row flow fields were measured with
pneumatic probes and 50 μm cylindrical hot film probes.
Three dimensional single blade-passage Navier-Stokes simulations were performed using the
Numeca FineTurbo package. Steady state simulations used a mixing plane approach. A nonlinear
harmonic approximation was used for time-unsteady simulations.
Unstalled first quadrant operation was unremarkable, and good agreement was obtained between
experimental and numerical data. A single stall cell was detected experimentally during
stalled operation, which was not modelled numerically.
In the fourth quadrant for positive rotation, (windmilling), the compressor acts as an inefficient
turbine. Flow separates from the pressure surface of the blade, rendering the steady-state
mixing plane approach unsuitable.
The performance characteristic curves for second quadrant for positive rotation, are discontinuous
with those of first quadrant operation. The temperature rise in the working fluid is
significantly higher than at design point. Periodic flow structures occurring across two blade
passages were detected at all flow coefficients investigated, invalidating numerical modelling assumptions.
Better agreement was obtained between experimental and numerical data from a case
found in literature.
If the compressor operates as a compressor in reverse (third quadrant operation), significant
separation occurs on the pressure surface of all blades, and flow conditions resemble severe first
quadrant stall. Separation becomes less severe at larger flow rates, allowing numerical simulation,
though this is sensitive to the initial flow field.
In the the part of the second quadrant, where the compressor rotates in reverse, it operates
as a turbine. The blade angles and the direction of…

▼ Constitutions and bills of rights have previously been argued to be non-democratic. To justify the entrenched nature of constitutions, some theorists have argued that constitutions represent a type of rational precommitment. However, this precommitment understanding of constitutions is not without its own problems. In this work, I will argue the prominent understanding of constitutional precommitment used by its proponents seems to rely upon a definition of commitment to which their arguments do not stay true. However, when I try to amend their arguments and apply a proper example of commitment, it leads to some problems with other tenets of the constitutional debate, especially the fact of constitutional entrenchment. In an attempt to determine just what it would take to save the rational precommitment understanding of constitutions, while maintaining a proper definition of commitment, I turn to metaphysical puzzles about change, persistence, and the possibility of a mereological understanding of our constitution. I conclude that 1) current debates do not have a proper conception of commitment and are thus failing to accomplish their ends, and 2) if proponents of the rational precommitment view do not buy into my analysis, then it is going to prove quite difficult to keep their account afloat once we properly define commitment.

▼ Much of what is known about visual attention has been obtained through the use of static stimuli. This masters sought to develop an experimental method that allows researchers to investigate how attention samples information from multiple dynamic
features. The core attribute of this method is presenting participants with a stimulus smoothly changing in orientation and color. Participants then report, on a continuous scale, the orientation and color of the stimulus at the time it was cued. This basic framework can be adapted to a variety of paradigms. To refine this technique as well as demonstrate its usefulness, it was applied to two similar but separate research interests of the visual attention community. The first looked to build upon the extensive attentional cueing literature by examining the time course of attention when it is deployed to a rapidly updating stimulus as opposed to a briefly presented, static target. The second application investigated how attention samples information from multiple dynamic
features of the same object. For this second application, three statistical models were built to simulate results under theories of simultaneous, sequential, and independent attentional sampling of
features. Comparing simulated data with that of actual participants the parameter space for each model was constrained. The ultimate goal of this thesis in choosing two different fields of research to explore was to demonstrate the diverse set of problems this experimental paradigm could potentially aide in as well as discover some important limitations of the method.

▼ Het doel van dit onderzoek is inzicht krijgen in hoe kinderen van drie tot vijf jaar letters waarnemen en of dit verband houdt met de mate van letterkennis en de mate van (ontluikend) schrijven. In totaal deden er 233 kinderen mee met een gemiddelde leeftijd van 50 maanden. Om de letterperceptie te meten is er gebruik gemaakt van een Eye tracker. Daarnaast is er een letterkennis taak, een woorden schrijven test en een visuele integratie test afgenomen. Uit de resultaten is gebleken dat wanneer kinderen meer letterkennis hadden, zij een kortere fixatieduur lieten zien op belangrijke kenmerken van letters dan wanneer kinderen minder letterkennis hadden. Er bleek geen verschil te zijn tussen fixatieduur op de naamletter ten opzichte van de overige geteste letters en de mate van letterkennis. Verder bleek de visuele integratie een voorspeller te zijn voor de mate van (ontluikend schrijven). Het blijkt dat hoe effectiever de visuele perceptie is bij kinderen, hoe beter zij dus visuele prikkels kunnen koppelen aan informatie en uiteindelijk deze informatie gebruiken bij uitvoeren van bepaalde taken. Met dit onderzoek is een bijdrage geleverd aan theorieën over hoe kinderen van drie tot vijf jaar geletterd worden.

▼ Knee replacement surgery is a common orthopaedic procedure that greatly benefits from a three-dimensional geometric representation of a patient's knee bone obtained from MR or CT data. The use of these image modalities pose the following challenges: (i) high imaging cost; (ii) long wait times; (iii) limited availability and (iv) in the latter, large exposure to ionizing radiation. Traditional approaches based on planar X-ray radiography are significantly less prone to these issues; however, they only provide two-dimensional information.
This work presents a proof of concept study for generating patient-specific femoral bone shapes from a statistical shape atlas using anatomical features acquired from calibrated X-ray radiographs. Our hypothesis was: three-dimensional geometry can be reconstructed, within 2 millimeters RMS, by identifying features on two calibrated radiographs. We illustrate the feasibility of our approach with regards to acquiring features and the viability of reconstructing patient-specific bony anatomy. A set of reliable and relevant features is identified for which an acquisition protocol and user-interface was devised to minimize inter-observer variability. Both the data and methods used to construct the atlas are discussed as well generating shapes from features. The reconstructions accuracy was comparable to, albeit lower than, competing approaches that rely on two-dimensional bony contours.

▼ Matrix reasoning tasks are popular measures of fluid and inductive reasoning ability. The impact of rule type, number of rules, grouping, overlapping elements, and unfamiliar shapes on matrix reasoning performance has been shown to make matrix tasks more difficult to solve. Alternatively, the relationship of
features (the physical and visual dimensions of individual elements within a matrix) to matrix reasoning performance in an adult population has not been established. The current study aimed to test the impact of
features (i.e., height, shape, width) on matrix reasoning performance in an undergraduate sample (N = 196) by systematically varying rules and
features using three experimental matrix task sets. Results indicated a significant effect of feature on matrix reasoning performance (F(2,193) = 4.871, p = .009) when controlling for differences in inductive reasoning ability between experimental groups. Post-hoc analysis revealed significantly (p = .007) worse performance in the width/height feature combination as compared to the shape/height. Concluding,
features have a differential impact on matrix reasoning performance, as some
features may be more efficiently solved than others. Future studies using more complex scoring methods, assessment of working memory, and direct measurement of cortical functioning are warranted to clarify the impact of
features on matrix reasoning performance.

▼ En traitement automatique des langues, deux grandes approches sont utilisées : l'apprentissage automatique et la fouille de données. Dans ce contexte, croiser les méthodes de fouille de données fondées sur les motifs et les méthodes d’apprentissage automatique statistique est une voie prometteuse mais à peine explorée. Dans cette thèse, nous présentons trois contributions majeures : l'introduction des motifs delta libres,utilisés comme descripteurs de modèle statistiques; l'introduction d'une contrainte de similarité sémantique pour la fouille, calculée grâce à un modèle statistique; l'introduction des règles séquentielles d'étiquetage,crées à partir des motifs et sélectionnées par un modèle statistique.
In natural language processing, two main approaches are used : machine learning and data mining. In this context, cross-referencing data mining methods based on patterns and statistical machine learning methods is apromising but hardly explored avenue. In this thesis, we present three major contributions: the introduction of delta-free patterns, used as statistical model features; the introduction of a semantic similarity constraint for the mining, calculated using a statistical model; and the introduction of sequential labeling rules, created from the patterns and selected by a statistical model.

▼ Comparing the “Declaration of Independence” and the “Declaration of the Occupation of New York City” from the point of view of communicational purposes, it can be stated that the aims of the documents are basically the same: both texts intends to provide a comprehensive picture of the inequalities and social injustices and also to preserve the fundamental human rights of the society. In spite of the fact that in case of the “Declaration of Independence” these inequalities are caused by the political power of Great Britain, while in the “Declaration of the Occupation of New York City” the financial entities are responsible for the social injustices, both documents convey the same message: the importance of independence.

▼ Aims To investigate the relationship between unilateral PIC and specific dentofacial parameters. Materials and methods A sample of 216 subjects, with 108 subjects in the retrospective and prospective samples respectively. Dental parameters: The following dental parameters were assessed: Inter-canine and intermolar width; palatal depth and palatal area; anterior Bolton tooth-size discrepancy (TSD); maxillary arch shape and ratio and maxillary central and lateral incisor shape and ratio. Facial parameters: Three-dimensional (3D) images were taken for subjects in the prospective sample only, and were used to assess the following facial parameters: Face shape; face ratio and 3D distances and angles. Results Dental parameters: Inter-canine width was significantly smaller in the test group compared to the control group in the retrospective (p= 0.0002) and prospective (p= 0.0018) samples respectively. Anterior Bolton TSD was significantly higher in the prospective test group compared to controls (p= 0.0070). Arch ratio was significantly smaller in the test group than the control group for the retrospective sample (p= 0.0029), whereas no significant difference was recorded in the prospective sample (p= 0.1017). Arch shape distribution was significantly different in the retrospective sample (p= 0.009). Tooth shape distribution was significantly different for the maxillary right central incisor in the retrospective sample (p= 0.030). Tooth ratio showed no significant difference for both samples. Facial parameters: Basal width was significantly smaller in the test compared to the control group (p= 0.0001). No significant difference was found in all other 3D distances and angles measured. Conclusion Inter-canine width was significantly smaller in unilateral PIC subjects compared to controls. Anterior Bolton TSD was significantly higher in prospective unilateral PIC compared to controls. Maxillary arch ratio was significantly smaller in retrospective subjects. Square/tapered tooth shape was significantly more common in the retrospective group. Basal width was significantly smaller in subjects with unilateral PIC than controls.

▼ An important and in fact essential feature throughout Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre is the gothic elements. At first sight Jane Eyre may not look like a gothic novel. However, it includes a lot of gothic features that appear throughout the novel such as ghost, dark secrets and supernatural experiences. The aim of this essay is to show that the gothic elements in the novel have the function of developing the storyline as well as the characters. Importantly, the gothic features affect the relationship between the two main characters both positively and negatively. The results of this essay show that the gothic elements in the novel have a greater function than to frighten the reader. They do not only help develop the main character but they also show the reader Jane’s inner passions and desires. The gothic features are also central in developing Mr Rochester’s character in the eyes of the reader, as they help illustrate his complicated background as well as his growing closeness to Jane. The gothic features are thus central to characterization, and ultimately crucial in building the relationship between the two main characters.

▼ With the advent of Internet and resulting data boom, Recommender Systems have come to rescue by filtering the information available on the internet by providing us with relevant information. These systems come handy when one wants to listen to songs, watch movies or even buy products on the Internet. Primarily, these recommender systems used content based or collaborative filtering techniques to recommend items. More recent research has studied the importance of contextual features in recommender systems. Music preference has always been associated with the contextual feature emotion. However, few studies study the mood congruence effect in the domain of music recommender systems. The field of music emotion recognition also remains unexplored with recommendations being made with limited features. \ This master thesis analyses the relationship between few latent musical features and user emotion through our interface MooDify. It is a music recommendation system that incorporates emotion in a user using emotion induction techniques and investigate the effect of their emotional state on satisfaction and unexpectedness when presented with songs curated to specific musical features. To achieve this, we analysed the enjoyment and unexpectedness ratings for recommendations specific to latent musical features for a given emotional state. We have been able to achieve some interesting results through this study which has been discussed later in this work.

▼ An important component of question answering systems is question classification. The task of question classification is to predict the entity type of the answer of a natural language question. Question classification is typically done using machine learning techniques. Different lexical, syntactical and semantic features can be extracted from a question. In this work we introduce two new semantic features which improve the accuracy of classification. Furthermore, we developed a weighed approach to optimally combine different features. We also applied Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) technique to reduce the large feature space of questions to a much smaller and efficient feature space. We adopted two different classifiers: Back-Propagation Neural Networks (BPNN) and Support Vector Machines (SVM). We found that applying LSA on question classification can not only make the question classification more time efficient, but it also improves the classification accuracy by removing the redundant features. Furthermore, we discovered that when the original feature space is compact and efficient, its reduced space performs better than a large feature space with a rich set of features. In addition, we found that in the reduced feature space, BPNN performs better than SVMs which are widely used in question classification. We tested our proposed approaches on the well-known UIUC dataset and succeeded to achieve a new record on the accuracy of classification on this dataset.

▼ Many computer vision applications including image matching, image-based reconstruction and localization rely on extracting and matching robust local
features. A typical local feature pipeline first detects repeatable keypoints in the image (i.e., keypoint detector), and then computes a short vector to uniquely describe each keypoint (i.e., feature descriptor). Both the keypoint detector and the feature descriptor are conventionally hand-crafted based on what is intuitive to the designer. For example, corners or blobs are popular choices of keypoints, and the image gradient is a useful clue for descriptors. However, it is often difficult to define these principles to accommodate various applications. In this thesis, we study data-driven approaches which can more easily tailor the local feature pipeline for target applications. We start with a mobile robotics application that leverages local
features extracted from ground texture images to achieve high-precision global localization. The second part of the thesis addresses the problem that existing keypoint detectors that are optimized for natural images suffer from sub-optimal performance on texture images. We therefore learn a keypoint detector specifically for each type of texture using a deep neural network. Our detector automatically learns to identify keypoints that are distinctive in the target texture rather than relying on a set of pre-defined rules. Finally, we focus on a non-parametric approach for learning feature descriptors. Many well-performing local feature descriptors are trained using a triplet loss that includes a tunable margin, which limits its ability to generalize to other types of data and problems. We propose to replace the hard margin with a soft margin that self-tunes as learning progresses. To summarize, we first demonstrate through a novel visual-based localization system where a customized local feature pipeline is critical. Then, we tackle both the keypoint detector and the feature descriptor with generalizable data-driven approaches.

▼ This study contributes a methodology and associated toolkit developed to allow users to experiment with the use of combined features in classification problems. Methods are provided for efficiently generating combined features from an original feature set, for efficiently selecting the most discriminating of these generated combined features, and for efficiently performing a preliminary comparison of the classification results when using the original features exclusively against the results when using the selected combined features. The potential benefit of considering combined features in classification problems is demonstrated by applying the developed methodology and toolkit to three sample data sets where the discovery of combined features containing new discriminating information led to improved classification results.

Image histogram features for nano-scale particle detection and classification.

▼ This research proposes a method to detect and classify the smoke particles of common household fires by analysing the image histogram features of smoke particles generated by Rayleigh scattered light. This research was motivated by the failure of commercially available photoelectric smoke detectors to detect smoke particles less than 100 nm in diameter, such as those in polyurethane (in furniture) fires, and the occurrence of false positives such as those caused by steam.
Seven different types of particles (pinewood smoke, polyurethane smoke, steam, kerosene smoke, cotton wool smoke, cooking oil smoke and a test Smoke) were selected and exposed to a continuous spectrum of light in a closed particle chamber. A significant improvement over the common photoelectric smoke detectors was demonstrated by successfully detecting and classifying all test particles using colour histograms. As Rayleigh theory suggested, comparing the intensities of scattered light of different wavelengths is the best method to classify different sized particles. Existing histogram comparison methods based on histogram bin values failed to evaluate a relationship between the scattered intensities of individual red, green and blue laser beams with different sized particles due to the uneven particles movements inside the chamber.
The current study proposes a new method to classify these nano-scale particles using the particle density independent intensity histograms feature; Maximum Value Index. When a Rayleigh scatter (particles that have the diameter which is less than one tenth of the incident wavelength) is exposed to a light with different wavelengths, the intensities of scattered light of each wavelength is unique according to the particle size and hence, a single unique maximum value index in the image intensity histogram can be detected.
Each captured image in the video frame sequence was divided into its red, green and blue planes (single R, G, B channel arrays) and the particles were isolated using a modified frame difference method. Mean and the standard deviation of the Maximum Value Index of intensity histograms over predefined number of frames (N) were used to differentiate different types of particles. The proposed classification algorithm successfully classified all the monotype particles with 100% accuracy when N ≥ 100. As expected, the classifier failed to distinguish wood smoke from other monotype particles due to the rapid variation of the maximum value index of the intensity histograms of the consecutive images of the image sequence since wood smoke is itself a complex composition of many monotype particles such as water vapour and resin smoke. The results suggest that the proposed algorithm may enable a smoke detector to be safer by detecting a wider range of fires and reduce false alarms such as those caused by steam.

▼ This study describes the gross anatomical,
histological and surface morphological
features of the oropharynx
and proximal oesophagus of the emu in order to address the scarcity
of information on this region in this commercially important bird.
Heads obtained from birds at slaughter (and a younger and older
bird from emergency farm slaughter) were used for this study and
described using basic gross anatomical and histological techniques,
supplemented by scanning electron microscopy. The findings of the
study were compared with the relevant literature. The oral and
pharyngeal cavities could not be morphologically separated and
formed a single cavity. This cavity was dorso-ventrally flattened
and clearly divided, both on the floor and the roof, into rostral
pigmented and caudal non-pigmented parts. The non-pigmented floor
housed the tongue and laryngeal mound which had a wide glottis and
no papillae. The choana was triangular-shaped, with a small
caudo-lateral fold on either side, and was situated in the
nonpigmented part of the roof. Caudal to the choana were two
rounded pharyngeal folds with a pitted ventral surface. A small
bilateral projection from the caudo-lateral edge consisted mainly
of diffuse lymphoid tissue. The pharyngeal folds contained numerous
large simple branched tubular mucus-secreting glands as well as
large accumulations of lymphoid tissue. The pigmented regions of
the roof and floor were aglandular and lined by a keratinised
stratified squamous epithelium which, particularly in the roof,
contained numerous Herbst corpuscles in the underlying connective
tissue. SEM revealed the surface to be composed of sheets of
desquamating flattened polygonal cells. The non-pigmented regions
were glandular and lined by a non-keratinised stratified squamous
epithelium. Surface cells displayed a pattern of microplicae or
microvilli while individual surface cells were seen to desquamate.
The connective tissue housed small, simple tubular and large,
simple branched tubular mucus-secreting glands, Herbst corpuscles
(only absent from the pharyngeal folds and proximal oesophagus),
lymphoid tissue, blood vessels and nerves. The glands of the upper
digestive tract were polystomatic and named as follows according to
their location: Caudal intermandibular, lingual, crico-arytenoid,
oral angular, caudal palatine, pharyngeal and oesophageal. The
openings of the glands to the surface were seen on SEM as variably
sized holes on the surface, some being obscured by mucus secretions
from the underlying glands. Taste receptors were sparse and present
only in the caudal non-pigmented oropharyngeal floor, tongue root
and proximal oesophagus. Accumulations of lymphoid tissue were
identified at the junction between the two regions of the roof, and
in the non-pigmented roof, the non-pigmented floor, tongue ventrum,
root and frenulum, proximal oesophagus and pharyngeal folds. The
consistent dense accumulation of lymphoid tissue in the pharyngeal
folds constituted pharyngeal tonsils (Lymphonoduli pharyngeales).
The lymphoid tissue of the…

▼ Atualmente, com a diversificação dos produtos demandados, os sistemas de manufatura têm se tornado cada vez mais complexos e de difícil operacionalização. Dificilmente o responsável pela manufatura tem toda a informação necessária para antever os detalhes necessários à sua execução. Por outro lado, as empresas não dispõem de tempo nem de recursos para testar alternativas de manufatura no sistema real. Com isso, a simulação baseada nas features, ou seja, na geometria da peça, se torna importante, pois retrata fielmente as características do produto a ser manufaturado, facilitando a gestão da manufatura. Esse trabalho foi estruturado a partir da revisão da literatura sobre os conceitos de sistemas de manufatura, tecnologia de features, simulação, realidade virtual e modelos de processos de software. O objetivo do trabalho foi desenvolver um ambiente a partir de uma nova abordagem para simulação da manufatura baseado nas features das peças com uma interface tridimensional baseada em realidade virtual. A partir dessas simulações, o usuário poderá tomar decisões baseadas em indicadores como: tempo total de manufatura, custo e tempo por recurso de fabricação e movimentação, tempo de espera em fila e taxa de utilização de cada recurso num sistema de manufatura específico sem alterar o cotidiano da empresa. O desenvolvimento do sistema foi executado dentro do paradigma da orientação a objetos e foi dividido em etapas: análise de requisitos, projeto, implementação, verificação e validação e documentação. Para mostrar que as funcionalidades do ambiente de simulação decorrentes da abordagem proposta no trabalho são aplicáveis em sistemas de manufatura reais foram propostas duas aplicações com suas soluções.
Nowadays with the diversification of products demanded, manufacturing systems have become increasingly complex and with difficult operation. Hardly the person responsible for the manufacturing area has all the information necessary to anticipate the details for their implementation. On the other hand, companies don\'t have the time or resources to test alternatives in the real manufacturing system. With this simulation based on the features, i.e., the part geometry becomes important because it represents faithfully the characteristics of the product being manufactured, making it easy the management of manufacturing. This work was structured from the literature review on the concepts of manufacturing systems, features technology simulation, virtual reality and software process models. The objective of this study was to develop an environment from a new approach for simulation of manufacturing based on features of the parts with a three-dimensional interface based on virtual reality. From these simulations, the user can make decisions based on indicators such…

▼ Along with the quick development of new technology in the modern digital era, music has become inevitable media in our life. Much attention has been paid to music retrieval. However, it is not easy to conduct high-performance music retrieval due to semantic gaps. This thesis presents an effective and efficient method to partially solve this problem. In terms of effectiveness, some semantic
features are designed to increase the precision of retrieval. In terms of efficiency, a novel method called Music Retrieval by Automated Navigation Paths with Semantic
Features is proposed to raise the performance for retrievals. The major techniques proposed in this thesis are as follows: (1) the generation of semantic
features; and (2) an automated learning technique based on proposed semantic
features. Offline pre-processing is first conducted to build the model. In this process, some audio
features are extracted from music data and then are transformed into semantic
features using the SVM classifier. Next, through the proposed learning mechanism, the efficient indices for approximate optimal navigation paths can be obtained from multiple automated feedback. For online retrieval, the semantic
features of a query are extracted in the same way as that in the offline steps. The navigation paths are then used for depth-first-search to find the most relevant pieces of music for the user. The proposed approach is also compared to eleven previous approaches and the experimental results reveal that it can achieve higher quality and faster speeds for music retrieval than the others.

▼ There is still much to learn about speakers’ similarities and differences in the field of Forensic Phonetics, especially with respect to consonant acoustics. The present master’s thesis presents analyses of acoustic
features of three sibilants /s, z, ʃ/ in British English. It focuses on analysing the static and dynamic
features of those segments to see if they can cue speaker-specific information. The analyses have been carried out on twenty male speakers from the DyViS corpus. This research focuses on both static
features (intensity, centre of gravity, standard deviation, skewness and kurtosis) and dynamic
features (centre of gravity depending of F2 vowel onset and offset) from speaker-specific perspective. The results obtained demonstrate the high speaker-specificity of centre of gravity, standard deviation and intensity. However, we have to be careful with the last one, because it is dependent on the recording circumstances. As for skewness and kurtosis, they show speaker-specificity for /z/, but results are weaker for /s/ and /ʃ/. This master’s thesis has shown that spectral and acoustic properties of the three sibilants analysed /s, z, ʃ/ in English present promising results regarding speaker-specificity.
