An 'associative cube', a class of auto-associative memories, is revisited here, in which training data and hidden orthogonal basis functions such as wavelet packets or Fourier kernels, are combined in the weight cube. This weight cube has hidden units in its depth, represented by a three dimensional cubic structure. We develop an unsupervised incremental learning mechanism based upon the adaptive least squares method. Training data are mapped into orthogonal basis vectors in a least-squares sense by updating the weights which minimize an energy function. Therefore, a prescribed orthogonal kernel is incrementally assigned to an incoming data. Next, we show how a decoding procedure finds the closest one with a competitive network in the hidden layer. As noisy test data are applied to an associative cube, the nearest one among the original training data are restored in an optimal sense. The simulation results confirm robustness of associative cubes even if test data are heavily distorted by various types of noise.

Incremental sheet metal forming is a manufacturing process to produce thin parts using sheet metals by a series of small incremental deformation. The process rarely needs dedicated dies and molds, thus, preparation time for the process is relatively short as to be compared to conventional metal forming. Spring back in sheet metal working is very common, which causes critical errors in dimensions. Incremental sheet metal forming is not fully investigated yet. Hence, incremental sheet metal forming frequently produces inaccurate parts. This paper proposes a method to minimize dimensional errors to improve shape accuracy of products manufactured by incremental forming. This study conducts experiments using an exclusive incremental forming machine and the material for these experiments are sheets of aluminum AL1015. This research defines a process parameter and selects a few factors for the experiments. The parameters employed in this paper are tool feed rate, tool diameter, step depth, material thickness, forming method, dies applied, and tool path method. In addition, their levels for each factor are determined. The plan of the experiments is designed using orthogonal array $L_8$ ($2^7$) which requires minimum number of experiments. Based on the measurements, dimensional errors are collected both on the tool contacted surfaces and on the non-contacted surfaces. The distances between the formed surfaces and the CAD models are scanned and recorded using a commercial software product. These collected data are statistically analyzed and ANOVAs (analysis of variances) are drawn up. From the ANOVAs, this paper concludes that the process parameters of tool diameter, forming depth, and forming method are the significant factors to reduce the errors on the tool contacted surface. On the other hand, the experimental factors of forming method and dies applied are the significant factors on the non-contacted surface. However, the negative forming method always produces better accuracy than the positive forming method.

Ozone creation potentials suited for Seoul metropolitan area was derived by utilizing the PAMS monitoring data and the source inventory. A simple box model with variable height was developed to calculate the incremental reactivity for all the ozone episode days in the year 2003 and 2004. RIR (Relative Incremental Reactivity) was introduced as a measure of contribution to ozone generation in the Seoul metropolitan area. RIR was defined as a function of ratio of VOC to $NO_x$ and therefore it addresses both VOC and $NO_x$ limited regime. For the days that more than 10 monitoring stations out of 27 monitoring station in Seoul recorded the daily maximum ozone concentrations higher than 70 ppb, toluene had the highest RIR value in all the type II and type III PAMS site and m/p-xylene followed with the second highest RIR value. Analyses using MIR (Maximum Incremental Reactivity) and POCP (Photochemical Ozone Creation Potential) instead of RIR also yields dominance of toluene and m/p-xylene in generating ozone concentrations to demonstrate the validity of RIR.

In this paper, we propose the speaker identification system that uses vowel that has speaker's characteristic. System is divided to speech feature extraction part and speaker identification part. Speech feature extraction part extracts speaker's feature. Voiced speech has the characteristic that divides speakers. For vowel extraction, formants are used in voiced speech through frequency analysis. Vowel-a that different formants is extracted in text. Pitch, formant, intensity, log area ratio, LP coefficients, cepstral coefficients are used by method to draw characteristic. The cpestral coefficients that show the best performance in speaker identification among several methods are used. Speaker identification part distinguishes speaker using Neural Network. 12 order cepstral coefficients are used learning input data. Neural Network's structure is MLP and learning algorithm is BP (Backpropagation). Hidden nodes and output nodes are incremented. The nodes in the incremental learning neural network are interconnected via weighted links and each node in a layer is generally connected to each node in the succeeding layer leaving the output node to provide output for the network. Though the vowel extract and incremental learning, the proposed system uses low learning data and reduces learning time and improves identification rate.

This paper introduces an adaptive face recognition method based on a Novel Incremental Kernel Nonparametric Discriminant Analysis (IKNDA) that is able to learn through time. More precisely, the IKNDA has the advantage of incrementally reducing data dimension, in a discriminative manner, as new samples are added asynchronously. Thus, it handles dynamic and large data in a better way. In order to perform face recognition effectively, we combine the Gabor features and the ordinal measures to extract the facial features that are coded across local parts, as visual primitives. The variegated ordinal measures are extraught from Gabor filtering responses. Then, the histogram of these primitives, across a variety of facial zones, is intermingled to procure a feature vector. This latter's dimension is slimmed down using PCA. Finally, the latter is treated as a facial vector input for the advanced IKNDA. A comparative evaluation of the IKNDA is performed for face recognition, besides, for other classification endeavors, in a decontextualized evaluation schemes. In such a scheme, we compare the IKNDA model to some relevant state-of-the-art incremental and batch discriminant models. Experimental results show that the IKNDA outperforms these discriminant models and is better tool to improve face recognition performance.

This paper is concerned with an optimization design of Incremental Granular Model(IGM) based Genetic Algorithm (GA) as an evolutionary approach. The performance of IGM has been successfully demonstrated to various examples. However, the problem of IGM is that the same number of cluster in each context is determined. Also, fuzzification factor is set as typical value. In order to solve these problems, we develop a design method for optimizing the IGM to optimize the number of cluster centers in each context and the fuzzification factor. We perform energy analysis using 12 different building shapes simulated in Ecotect. The experimental results on energy efficiency data set of building revealed that the proposed GA-based IGM showed good performance in comparison with LR and IGM.

In this paper, for using emerging patterns to define and analyze the significant difference of safe and non-safe power load lines, and identify which line is potentially non-safe, we proposed an incremental TFP-tree algorithm for mining emerging patterns that can search efficiently within limitation of memory. Especially, the concept of pre-infrequent patterns pruning and use of two different minimum supports, made the algorithm possible to mine most emerging patterns and handle the problem of mining from incrementally increased, large size of data sets such as power consumption data.

One of the popular methods used for pattern classification is the MBR (Memory-Based Reasoning) algorithm. Since it simply computes distances between a test pattern and training patterns or hyperplanes stored in memory, and then assigns the class of the nearest training pattern, it is notorious for memory usage and can't learn additional information from new data. In order to overcome this problem, we propose an incremental learning algorithm (iMPA). iMPA divides the entire pattern space into fixed number partitions, and generates representatives from each partition. Also, due to the fact that it can not learn additional information from new data, we present iMPA which can learn additional information from new data and not require access to the original data, used to train. Proposed methods have been successfully shown to exhibit comparable performance to k-NN with a lot less number of patterns and better result than EACH system which implements the NGE theory using benchmark data sets from UCI Machine Learning Repository.

The design of a classification system generally involves data acquisition module, learning module and decision module, considering their functions and it is often an important component of intelligent systems. The learning module provides a priori information and it has been playing a key role for the classification. The conventional learning techniques for classification are based on a winner take all fashion which does not reflect the description of real data where boundarues might be fuzzy Moreover they need all data for the learning of its problem domain. Generally, in many practical applications, it is not possible to prepare them at a time. In this paper, we design an adaptive classification model using incremental training fuzzy neural networks, FNN-I. To have a more useful information, it introduces the representation and membership degree by fuzzy theory. And it provides an incremental learning algorithm for continuously gathered data. We present tie experimental results on computer virus data. They show that the proposed system can learn incrementally and classify new viruses effectively.

In the data warehouse environment, materialized views are typically used to support efficient query processing. Materialized views need to be updated when source data change. Since the update of the views need impose a significant overhead, it is essential to update the views efficiently. Though various view maintenance strategies have been discussed in the past, the efficient maintenance of SPJ materialized views has not been sufficiently investigated. In this paper, we propose an efficient incremental view maintenance method for SPJ materialized views that minimizes the total accesses to data sources. The proposed method finds an optimal view maintenance strategy using a dynamic programming algorithm. We also present various experimental results that shows the efficiency of our proposed method.
