Quick Abstract

In the multi-agent system research community, there is general consensus that the environment is important for multi-agent systems (MAS). However, most researchers minimize the responsibilities of the environment by reducing it to inter-agent communication, or neglecting to integrate it as a main element of their MAS models, which can be sufficient depending on the focus and objectives of their work. As a consequence of these decisions, the potential of MAS is not fully exploited. In some cases, the environment is a key element that cannot be written off as inter-agent communication, as it currently is in classical MAS. In our opinion it is important to focus the MAS around the environment. Reducing the environment to inter-agent communication deprives multi-agent systems of great potential. Our point of view is that the environment is an active entity with its own processes that can change its state, regardless of the activity of its embedded agents. We propose including the environment as an entity with a set of laws. Laws can be considered rules that cannot be broken by agents. However, some researchers have been interested in integrating the environment as first class and have proposed some interesting models. Unfortunately, they are not sustained by practical applications. The aim of this paper is to contribute in two ways: first, to propose an MAS model where an environmental engine is integrated; the capabilities of this model are comparable to those of a physics engine. Second, we propose an implementation of this model and some practical cases where it can bring concrete added value.

Quick Abstract

Banks are compelled by financial regulatory authorities to demonstrate whole-hearted commitment to finding ways of preventing suspicious activities. Can AI help monitor user behavior in order to detect fraudulent activity such as identity theft? In this paper, we propose a Machine Learning (ML) based fraud detection framework to capture fraudulent behavior patterns and we experiment on a real-world dataset of a major European bank. We gathered recent state-of-the-art techniques for identifying banking fraud using ML algorithms and tested them on an abnormal behavior detection use case.

Quick Abstract

This paper presents a method aiming to enrich Arabic WordNet with semantic clusters extracted from a large general corpus. As the Arabic language is poor in open digital linguistic resources, we built such a corpus (more than 7.5 billion words) with ad-hoc tools. We then applied GraPaVec, a new method for word vectorization using automatically generated frequency patterns, as well as state-of-the-art Word2Vec and Glove methods. Word vectors were fed to a Self Organizing Map neural network model; the clusterings produced were then compared for evaluation with Arabic WordNet existing synsets (sets of synonymous words). The evaluation yields a F-score of 82.1 % for GrapaVec, 55.1 % for Word2Vec's Skipgram, 52.2 % for CBOW and 56.6 % for Glove, which at least shows the interest of the context that GraPaVec takes into account. We end up by discussing parameters and possible biases.

Quick Abstract

Content-Based Image Retrieval approaches have been marked by the semantic gap (inconsistency) between the perception of the user and the visual description of the image. This inconsistency is often linked to the use of predefined visual features randomly selected and applied whatever the application domain. In this paper we propose an approach that adapts the selection of visual features to semantic content ensuring the coherence between them. We first design visual and semantic descriptive ontologies. These ontologies are then explored by association rules aiming to link semantic descriptor (a concept) to a set of visual features. The obtained feature collections are selected according to the annotated query images. Different strategies have been experimented and their results have shown an improvement of the retrieval task based on relevant feature selections.

Proceedings of ANNIIP 2015/ICINCO, ISBN: 978-989-758-122-9

Quick Abstract

We present an experimentation line that encompasses various stages for research on graphemes distribution and unsupervised classification. We aim to help close the gap between recent research results showing the abilities of unsupervised learning and clustering algorithms to detect underlying properties of phonemes and the present possibilities of Unicode textual representation. Our procedures need to ensure repeatability and guarantee that no information is implicitely present in the preprocessing of data. Our approach is able to categorize potential graphemes correctly, thus showing that not only phonemic properties are indeed present in textual data, but that they can be automatically retrieved from raw-unicode text data and translated into phonemic representations. By the way, we observe that SOM algorithm copes well with very sparse vectors.

Quick Abstract

Eye-movements are increasingly employed to study usability issues in HCI (Human-Computer Interacetion) contexts. In this paper we introduce our appearance-based eye control system which utilizes 5 specific eye movements, such as closed-eye movement and eye movements with gaze fixation at the positions (up, down, right, left) for HCI applications. In order to measure these eye movements, we employ a fast appeance-based gaze tracking method with manifold learning technique. First we propose to concatenate local eye appearance Center-Symmetric Local Binary Pattern(CS-LBP) descriptor for each subregion of eye image to form an eye appearance feature vector. The calibration phase is then introduced to construct a trainning samples by spectral clustering. After that, Laplacian Eigenmaps will be applied to the trainning set and unseen input together to get the structure of eye manifolds. Finally we can infer the eye movement of the new input by its distances with the clusters in the trainning set. Experimental results demonstrate that our system with quick 4-points calibration not only can reduce the run-time cost, but also provide another way to mesure eye movements without mesuring gaze coordinates to a HCI application such as our eye control system.

Quick Abstract

User-centered design not only requires designers to analyse and anticipate how users are likely to use a Web application, but also to validate their assumptions with regard to user behaviour in real environments. Cognitive neuroscience, for its part, addresses the questions of how psychological functions are produced by neural circuitry. The emergence of powerful new measurement techniques allows neuroscientists and psychologists to address abstract questions such as how human cognition and emotion are mapped to specific neural substrates. This paper focus on the validation of user-centered designs and requirements of Web applications by neuroscience techniques and suggest the use of these techniques to achieve efficient and effectiveness validated designs by real behavior of potential users.

Sampling-based Multi-robot Motion Planning

Authors: Zhi Yan , Nicolas Jouandeau and Arab Ali Cherif

Affiliation: Paris 8 University, France

Digital Object Identifier: 10.5220/0004605005490554

Proceedings of IVC&ITS 2013/ICINCO, ISBN: 978-989-8565-70-9

Quick Abstract

This paper describes a sampling-based approach to multi-robot motion planning. The proposed approach is centralized, which aims to reduce interference between mobile robots such as collision, congestion and deadlock, by increasing the number of waypoints. The implementation based on occupancy grid map is decomposed into three steps: the first step is to identify primary waypoints by using the Voronoi diagram, the second step is to generate additional waypoints by sampling the Voronoi diagram, and the last step is to assign the waypoints to robots by using the Hungarian method. The approach has been implemented and tested in simulation and the experimental results show a good system performance for multi-robot motion planning.

Quick Abstract

A city is by definition a relatively large town of a significant importance. It is a centre of population, commerce, culture, industry, etc. The city evolves over time and gets morphological, sociological, economic and political transformations. Geographic Information System (GIS) may be used in spatial analysis of both the current city and its evolution over time. Based on the past and the present of a city, we are interested in developing a methodology that goes from the spatiotemporal modelling of its evolution to its prediction in the future. The motivation behind this research is to create a tool for the decision support at the disposal of the town hall. This tool aims to help making future decisions about investments, transport networks, infrastructures, etc. In this paper, we propose a framework that allows defining the possible trajectories of the city following the spatial, temporal and functional dimensions. The definition of those trajectories will be attached to a reasoning based on logic according to modalities, time and the imperfect nature of the information (imprecision, uncertainty, etc.).

Digital Object Identifier: 10.5220/0004158304290432

Proceedings of FCTA 2012/IJCCI, ISBN: 978-989-8565-33-4

Quick Abstract

We propose a natural language interface with interpretation of partially tagged semantically data in closed question/answering domain (geolocation) using fuzzy linguistic 2-tuples. The interface is a tool of configuration tasks such as alerts definition and modification, alerts messages, and other man-machine dialogue. The aim is to respond with precision to user's query, expressed in natural language, taking into account imprecision and vagueness. The combination of NLP techniques and fuzzy logic to interpret linguistic variables helps elicitation of business-level objectives avoiding useless and costly computation of middleware information. This paper introduces a methodology that deals with contextual fuzzy semantics in natural language interfaces.
