Power transmission lines are one of the most important components of electric power system. Failures in the operation of power transmission lines can result in serious power system problems. Hence, fault diagnosis (transient or permanent) in power transmission lines is very important to ensure the reliable operation of the power system. A hidden Markov model (HMM), a powerful pattern recognizer, classifies events in a probabilistic manner based on fault signal waveform and characteristics. This paper presents application of HMM to classify faults in overhead power transmission lines. The algorithm uses voltage samples of one-fourth cycle from the inception of the fault. The simulation performed in EMTPWorks and MATLAB environments validates the fast response of the classifier, which provides fast and accurate protection scheme for power transmission lines.

We propose a speech emotion recognition method for affective human-robot interface. In the Proposed method, emotion is classified into 6 classes: Angry, bored, happy, neutral, sad and surprised. Features for an input utterance are extracted from statistics of phonetic and prosodic information. Phonetic information includes log energy, shimmer, formant frequencies, and Teager energy; Prosodic information includes Pitch, jitter, duration, and rate of speech. Finally a pattern classifier based on Gaussian support vector machines decides the emotion class of the utterance. We record speech commands and dialogs uttered at 2m away from microphones in 5 different directions. Experimental results show that the proposed method yields $48\%$ classification accuracy while human classifiers give $71\%$ accuracy.

In this paper, knowledge-based approach using Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are used for estimating the coordinated zonal settings of a distance relay. The approach depends on the detailed simulation studies of apparent impedance loci as seen by distance relay during disturbance, considering various operating conditions including fault resistance. In a distance relay, the impedance loci given at the relay location is obtained from extensive transient stability studies. SVMs are used as a pattern classifier for obtaining distance relay co-ordination. The scheme utilizes the apparent impedance values observed during a fault as inputs. An improved performance with the use of SVMs, keeping the reach when faced with different fault conditions as well as system power flow changes, are illustrated with an equivalent 265 bus system of a practical Indian Western Grid.

In this paper, we proposed the multi-step multi-layer artificial neural network(MMANN) to classify the chromosome, Which is used as a chromosome pattern classifier after learning. We extracted three chromosome morphological feature parameters such as centromeric index, relative length ratio, and relative area ratio by means of preprocessing method from ten chromosome images. The feature parameters of five chromosome images were used to learn neural network and the rest of them were used to classify the chromosome images. The experiment results show that the chromosome classification error is reduced much more, comparing with less feature parameters than that of the other researchers.

Expressive face and human body gestures are among the main non-verbal communication channels in human-human interaction. Understanding human emotions through body gesture is one of the necessary skills both for humans and also for the computers to interact with their human counterparts. Gesture analysis is consisted of several processes such as detecting of hand, extracting feature, and recognizing emotions. Skin color information for tracking hand gesture is obtained from face detection region. We have revealed relationships between paricular body movements and specific emotions by using HMM(Hidden Markov Model) classifier. Performance evaluation of emotional human body recognition has experimented.

Most of clustering methods usually employ the center of a cluster to assign the input data into a cluster. When the shape of a cluster could not be easily represented by the center of cluster, however, it is difficult to assign input data into a proper cluster using previous methods. In this paper, to overcome such a difficulty, a cluster is to be represented as a collection of several subclusters. And membership functions are used to represent how much input data belong to subclusters. Then the position of each subcluster is adoptively corrected by use of a competitive learning neural network. To show the validity of the proposed method, a numerical example is illustrated, where FMMC(Fuzzy Min-Max Clustering) algorithm is compared with the proposed method.

This paper describes a technique for human sensibility evaluation using EEGs of 4 emotions. The proposed method uses the linear predictor coefficients as EEG feature parameters and a neural network as sensibility pattern classifier. For subject independent system, multiple templates are stored and the most similar template can be selected. EEG signals corresponding to 4 emotions such as relaxation, joy, sadness and anger are collected from 5 armature performers. The states of relaxation and joy are considered as positive sensibility and those of sadness and anger as negative. The classification performance suing the proposed method is about 72.6%. This may be promising performance in the human sensibility evaluation.

Real-world objects often have two or more significant attributes. For example, face images have attributes of persons, expressions, and so on. Even if we are interested in only one of those attributes, additional informations on auxiliary attributes can help recognition of the main one. In the present paper, the authors propose a method for pattern recognition with double attributes. A pair of classifiers are combined: each classifier makes a guess of its corresponding attribute, and it tells the guess to the other as a hint. Equilibrium point of this iteration can be calculated directly without iterative procedures.

This paper describes a signal recognition method for diagnosing the rotating machinery using wavelet-aided Self-Organizing Feature Map(SOFM). The SOFM specialized from neural network is a new and effective algorithm for interpreting large and complex data sets. It converts high-dimensional data items into simple order relationships with low dimension. Additionally the Learning Vector Quantization(LVQ) is used for reducing the error from SOFM. Multi-resolution and wavelet transform are used to extract salient features from the primary vibration signals. Since it decomposes the raw timebase signal into two respective parts in the time space and frequency domain, it does not lose either information unlike Fourier transform. This paper is focused on the development of advanced signal classifier in order to automatize vibration signal pattern recognition. This method is verified by the experiment and several abnormal vibrations such as unbalance and rubbing are classified with high flexibility and reliability by the proposed methods.
