In this paper, we propose a automatic image bases extraction method for visual image reconstruction from brain activity using Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF). Image bases are basic elements to construct and present a visual image. Previous method used brain activity that evoked by predefined 361 image bases of four different sizes: $1{\times}1$, $2{\times}1$, $1{\times}2$, $2{\times}2$, and $2{\times}2$. Then the visual stimuli were reconstructed by linear combination of all the results from these image bases. While the previous method used 361 predefined image bases, the proposed method automatically extracts image bases which represent the image data efficiently. From the experiments, we found that the proposed method reconstructs the visual stimuli better than the previous method.

이메일의 사용증가로 수신 메일을 효율적이면서 정확하게 분류할 필요성이 점차 증가하고 있다. 현재의 이메일 분류는 베이지안, 규칙 기반 등을 이용하여 스팸 메일을 필터링하기 위한 이원 분류가 주를 이루고 있다. 클러스터링을 이용한 다원 분류 방법은 분류의 정확도가 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 비음수 행렬 분해(NMF, Non-negative Matrix Factrazation)를 기반으로 한 자동 분류 주제 생성 방법과 동적 분류 체계(DCH, Dynamic Category Hierachy) 방법을 결합한 새로운 이메일 분류 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 수신되는 이메일을 자동으로 분류하여 대량의 메일을 효율적으로 관리할 수 있으며, 분류 결과 사용자의 요구사항을 만족하지 못하면 메일을 동적으로 재분류 하여 분류 정확률을 높일 수 있다.

In this paper, we propose a new method for artificial bandwidth extension of narrow-band signal in frequency domain. In the proposed method, a narrow-band signal is decomposed into excitation signal and spectral envelope, which are extended independently in frequency domain. The excitation signal is extended such that low-band harmonic structure is maintained in high band, and the spectral envelope is extended based on sub-band energy using NMF. Finally, the spectral phase is determined based on signal correlation between frames in time domain, resulting in the final wide-band signal. The subjective evaluation verified that the wide-band signal generated by the proposed method has a higher quality than the original narrow-band signal.

When we see an object, we usually can say what it is easily even for the case where the object isn't shown in the frontal view. However, it is difficult to believe that all views of every object we have ever seen are fully memorized in our brain. Possibly, when an object is shown, we have some typical views of the object in our brain through our past experience and reconstruct the view to recognize what the presented object is. Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) is one of the methods to extract the basis images from sample data set. The prominent feature of this method is that the reconstructed image is obtained by only additions of the basis images with suitable positive weights. So NMF can be seen more biologically plausible method than any other feature extraction methods such as Vector Quantization (VQ) and principal Component Analysis (PCA). In this paper, we adopt NMF to extract the aspect features from the set of images, which consists of various views of a given object. Some experiments are shown how much well NMF can extract the aspect features than any other methods such as VQ and PCA.

So far, many researches have been done to retrieve music information using static classification descriptors such as genre and mood. Since static classification descriptors are based on diverse content-based musical features, they are effective in retrieving similar music in terms of such features. However, human emotion or mood transition triggered by music enables more effective and sophisticated query in music retrieval. So far, few works have been done to evaluate the effect of human mood transition by music. Using formal representation of such mood transitions, we can provide personalized service more effectively in the new applications such as music recommendation. In this paper, we first propose our Emotion State Transition Model (ESTM) for describing human mood transition by music and then describe a music classification and recommendation scheme based on the ESTM. In the experiment, diverse content-based features were extracted from music clips, dimensionally reduced by NMF (Non-negative Matrix Factorization, and classified by SVM (Support Vector Machine). In the performance analysis, we achieved average accuracy 67.54% and maximum accuracy 87.78%.

This paper proposes a novel approach to the problem of audio signal clustering using a stacked autoencoder. The proposed stacked autoencoder learns an efficient representation for the input signal, enables clustering constituent signals with similar characteristics, and therefore the original sources can be separated based on the clustering results. STFT (Short-Time Fourier Transform) is performed to extract time-frequency spectrum, and rectangular windows at all the possible locations are used as input values to the autoencoder. The outputs at the middle, encoding layer, are used to cluster the rectangular windows and the original sources are separated by the Wiener filters derived from the clustering results. Source separation experiments were carried out in comparison to the conventional NMF (Non-negative Matrix Factorization), and the estimated sources by the proposed method well represent the characteristics of the orignal sources as shown in the time-frequency representation.

The results of inherent knowledge based generic summarization are influenced by the composition of sentence in document set. In order to resolve the problem, this papser propses a new generic document summarization which uses clustering of semantic feature of document and coherence of document cluster. The proposed method clusters sentences using semantic feature deriving from NMF(non-negative matrix factorization), which it can classify document topic group because inherent structure of document are well represented by the sentence cluster. In addition, the method can improve the quality of summarization because the importance sentences are extracted by using coherence of sentence cluster and the cluster refinement by re-cluster. The experimental results demonstrate appling the proposed method to generic summarization achieves better performance than generic document summarization methods.

For audio indexing and targeted search of specific audio or corresponding visual contents, the MPEG-7 standard has adopted a sound classification framework, in which dimension-reduced Audio Spectrum Projection (ASP) features are used to train continuous hidden Markov models (HMMs) for classification of various sounds. The MPEG-7 employs Principal Component Analysis (PCA) or Independent Component Analysis (ICA) for the dimensional reduction. Other well-established techniques include Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and Discrete Cosine Transformation (DCT). In this paper we compare the performance of different dimensional reduction methods with Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) and HMMs in the classifying video sound clips.

인터넷의 발달로 인하여 정보의 양은 시간이 지날수록 폭발적으로 증가하고 있다. 이러한 방대한 정보로부터 정보검색시스템은 사용자에게 너무 많은 검색결과를 제시하여 사용자가 원하는 정보를 찾기 위해 너무 많은 시간을 소요하게 하는 정보의 과적재 문제가 있다. 질의 기반의 문서요약은 정보의 사용자가 원하는 정보의 검색시간을 줄임으로써 정보의 과적재 문제를 해결하는 방법으로서 점차 중요성이 증가하고 있다. 본 논문은 비음수 행렬 인수분해 (NMF, Non-negative Matrix Factorization)과 코사인 유사도를 이용하여 질의 기반의 문서를 요약하는 새로운 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법은 질의와 문서 간에 사전학습이 필요 없다. 또한 문서를 그래프로 변형시키는 복잡한 처리 없이 NMF 에 의해 얻어진 의미 특징(semantic feature)과 의미 변수(semantic variable)로 문서의 고유 구조를 반영하여 요약의 정확도를 높일 수 있다. 마지막으로 단순한 방법으로 문장을 쉽게 요약할 수 있다.

In this paper, we proposes a new document summarization method using the expanded query by wikipedia and the semantic feature representing inherent structure of document set. The proposed method can expand the query from user's initial query using the relevance feedback based on wikipedia in order to reflect the user require. It can well represent the inherent structure of documents using the semantic feature by the non-negative matrix factorization (NMF). In addition, it can reduce the semantic gap between the user require and the result of document summarization to extract the meaningful sentences using the expanded query and semantic features. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves better performance than the other methods to summary document.
