SPA-Based Modified Local Reachability Density Ratio wSVDD for Nonlinear Multimode Process Monitoring by Zhaojing Wang, Weidong Yang, Hong Zhang, Ying Zheng

“…To improve detection performance of SVDD for training multimode data with outliers, modified local reachability density ratio (mLRDR) is proposed as a weight factor to be embedded in the weighted-SVDD (wSVDD) model, in which the local neighbors in terms of both space and time are considered. …”

Sparse Graph Embedding Based on the Fuzzy Set for Image Classification by Minghua Wan, Mengting Ge, Tianming Zhan, Zhangjing Yang, Hao Zheng, Guowei Yang

“…However, the aforementioned algorithms are not very effective for face images because they are always affected by overlaps (outliers) and sparsity points in the database. To solve the problems, a new and effective dimensional reduction method for face recognition is proposed—sparse graph embedding with the fuzzy set for image classification. …”

Der Standesunterschied als Prüfstein by Valérie Leyh

“…La contribution étudie cette amitié exceptionnelle, qui fut à la fois littéraire et personnelle, en la confrontant au culte de l’amitié caractéristique du xviiie siècle, tout en montrant dans quelle mesure la différence de rang social défie l’idéal égalitaire des Lumières. Dans l’amitié d’Elisa von der Recke avec Sophie Becker, cette différence sociale apparaît très clairement ; mais en se positionnant comme intellectuelle des Lumières et en s’appropriant le discours sur l’amitié, Elisa von der Recke l’ignore et la considère comme insignifiante. …”

基于加速度频响函数的改进响应面模型修正 by 杨成浩, 彭珍瑞, 董海棠

“…In order to improve the accuracy of model updating,the acceleration frequency response function is introduced into the improved response surface model updating.Firstly,the modal participation criterion and the effective independence method are applied to determine the best incentive point and the measuring point; the sample points are selected according to the parameters to be modified; the acceleration frequency response functions of the sample points are calculated; the initial response surface model is constructed.Secondly,the predicted value is tested by using the triple variance criterion; the outliers far from the response surface are eliminated.Thirdly,the initial response surface model is optimized to obtain the optimal solution as a new sample point; the weighted response surface model is constructed by using the ratio weighting method.Then,the finite element model is replaced by the improved response surface model; the objective function is constructed with the minimum of frequency response difference; the modified parameters are solved by cuckoo algorithm.The typical truss structure model is used to verify the effectiveness.The results show that the accuracy and efficiency of the improved response surface model are improved.…”

Molecular Image Segmentation Based on Improved Fuzzy Clustering by Jinhua Yu, Yuanyuan Wang

“…The incorporation of intensity and textural information allows the 2DFCM algorithm to produce satisfactory segmentation results for images corrupted by noise (outliers) and intensity variations. The 2DFCM can achieve 0.96±0.03 segmentation accuracy for synthetic images under different imaging conditions. …”
