Many research result conducted by neural network researchers claimed that the degree of generalization of the neural network system is higher or at least equal to that of statistical methods. However, those successful results could be brought only if the neural network was trained by appropriately sound data, having a little of noisy data and being large enough to control noisy data. Real data used in a lot of fields, especially business fields, were not so sound that the network have frequently failed to obtain satisfactory prediction accuracy, the degree of generalization. Enhancing the degree of generalization with noisy data is discussed in this study. The suggestion, which was obtained through a series of experiments, to enhance the degree of generalization is to remove inconsistent data by checking overlapping and inconsistencies. Furthermore, the previous conclusion by other reports is also confirmed that the learning mechanism of neural network takes average value of two inconsistent data included in training set［2］. The interim results of on-going research project are reported in this paper These are ann architecture of the neural network adopted in this project and the whole idea of developing on-line credit evaluation system,being intergration of the expert(resoning)system and the neural network(learning system.Another definite result is corroborated through this study that quickprop,being agopted as a learing algorithm, also has more speedy learning process than does back propagation even in very noisy environment.

Deep learning is an advanced technology for large-scale data analysis, with numerous promising cases like image processing, object detection and significantly more. It becomes customarily to use transfer learning and fine-tune a pre-trained CNN model for most image recognition tasks. Having people taking photos and tag themselves provides a valuable resource of in-data. However, these tags and labels might be noisy as people who annotate these images might not be experts. This paper aims to explore the impact of noisy labels on fine-tuning pre-trained CNN models. Such effect is measured on a food recognition task using Food101 as a benchmark. Four pre-trained CNN models are included in this study: InceptionV3, VGG19, MobileNetV2 and DenseNet121. Symmetric label noise will be added with different ratios. In all cases, models based on DenseNet121 outperformed the other models. When noisy labels were introduced to the data, the performance of all models degraded almost linearly with the amount of added noise.

In this paper we tried to classify the pathological voice signal with severe noise component based on two different parameters, the spectral slope and the ratio of energies in the harmonic and noise components (HNR), The spectral slope is obtained by using a curve fitting method and the HNR is computed in cepstrum quefrency domain. Speech data from normal peoples and patients are collected, diagnosed and divided into three different classes (normal, relatively less noisy and severely noisy data), The mean values and the standard deviations of the spectral slope and the HNR are computed and compared with in the three kinds of data to characterize and classify the severely noisy pathological voice signals from others.

The speech recognizer in general operates in noisy acoustical environments. Many research works have been done to cope with the acoustical variations. Among them, the multiple-HMM model approach seems to be quite effective compared with the conventional methods. In this paper, we consider a multiple-model approach combined with the model compensation method and investigate the necessary number of the HMM model sets through noisy speech recognition experiments. By using the data-driven Jacobian adaptation for the model compensation, the multiple-model approach with only a few model sets for each noise type could achieve comparable results with the re-training method.

An expectation-maximization (EM) based Bayesian adaptation method for the mean of noise is proposed for noise-robust speech recognition. In the algorithm, the on-line testing utterances are used for the unsupervised Bayesian adaptation and the prior distribution of the noise mean is estimated using the off-line training data. For the noisy speech modeling, the parallel model combination (PMC) method is employed. The proposed method has shown to be effective compared with the conventional PMC method for the speech recognition experiments in a car-noise condition.

Efficient Global Optimization (EGO) method is a global optimization technique which can select the next sample point automatically by infill sampling criteria (ISC) and search for the global minimum with less samples than what the conventional global optimization method needs. ISC function consists of the predictor and mean square error (MSE) provided from the kriging model which is a stochastic metamodel. Also the constrained EGO method can minimize the objective function dealing with the constraints under EGO concept. In this study the constrained EGO method applied to the RAE2822 airfoil shape design formulated with the constraint. But the noisy CFD data caused the kriging model to fail to depict the true function. The distorted kriging model would make the EGO deviate from the correct search. This distortion of kriging model can be handled with the interpolation(p=free) kriging model. With the interpolation(p=free) kriging model, however, the search of EGO solution was stalled in the narrow feasible region without the chance to update the objective and constraint functions. Then the accuracy of EGO solution was not good enough. So the three-step search method was proposed to obtain the accurate global minimum as well as prevent from the distortion of kriging model for the noisy constrained CFD problem.

In this paper a data-driven method to improve the performance of the Jacobian adaptation (JA) for the noisy speech recognition is proposed. In stead of constructing the reference HMM by using the model composition method like the parallel model combination (PMC), we propose to train the reference HMM directly with the noisy speech. This was motivated from the idea that the directly trained reference HMM will model the acoustical variations due to the noise better than the composite HMM. For the estimation of the Jacobian matrices, the Baum-Welch algorithm is employed during the training. The recognition experiments have been done to show the improved performance of the proposed method over the Jacobian adaptation as well as other model compensation methods.

We consider the visual barcode recognition problem in a noisy video data setup. Unlike most existing single-frame recognizers that require considerable user effort to acquire clean, motionless and blur-free barcode signals, we eliminate such extra human efforts by proposing a robust video-based barcode recognition algorithm. We deal with a sequence of noisy blurred barcode image frames by posing it as an online filtering problem. In the proposed dynamic recognition model, at each frame we infer the blur level of the frame as well as the digit class label. In contrast to a frame-by-frame based approach with heuristic majority voting scheme, the class labels and frame-wise noise levels are propagated along the frame sequences in our model, and hence we exploit all cues from noisy frames that are potentially useful for predicting the barcode label in a probabilistically reasonable sense. We also suggest a visual barcode tracking approach that efficiently localizes barcode areas in video frames. The effectiveness of the proposed approaches is demonstrated empirically on both synthetic and real data setup.

Two principally different statements of the problem of stable numerical differentiation are considered. It is analyzed when it is possible in principle to get a stable approximation to the derivative ${\Large f}'$ given noisy data ${\Large f}_{\delta}$. Computational aspects of the problem are discussed and illustrated by examples. These examples show the practical value of the new understanding of the problem of stable differentiation.

A new method for autoregressive parameter estimation from noisy observation sequence is presented. This method, termed the AP method, is a result of an attempt to make use of the adaptive predictor which is a simple and reliable way of parameter estimation. It is shown theoretically that, for noisy input, the parameter vector computed from the prediction sequence is closer to that of the original sequence than the noisy input sequence is, under the spectral distortion criterion. Simulation results with the Kalman filter as a noise reduction filter and real speech data supported the theory. Roughly speaking, the performance of the parameter set obtained by the AP method is better than noisy one but worse than the EM iteration results. When the simplicity is considered, it could provide a useful alternative to more complicated parameter estimation methods in some applications.
