Various Machine Learning Methods Efficiency Comparison in Application to Inorganic Compounds Design
Various machine learning methods («Recognition» package and «Scikit-learn» package for Python) accuracy comparison was made on example of inorganic chemistry tasks solution. The crossvalidation and the ROC-analysis were applied to accuracy estimation
A novel method for evaluating classification reliability is proposed based on the discernibility of a pattern’s class against other classes from the pattern’s location. Use of three measures of discernibility is experimentally compared with conventional techniques based on the classification scores for class labels. The classification accuracy can be drastically enhanced through discernibility measures by using the most reliable – “elite” – patterns. It can be further boosted by forming an amalgamation of the elites of different classifiers. Improved performance is achieved at the price of rejecting many patterns. There are situations where this price is worth paying – when the non-reliable accuracy rates lead to the need in manually testing of very complex technical devices or in diagnostics of human diseases. Contrary to conventional techniques for estimating reliability, the proposed measures are applicable on small datasets as well as on datasets with complex class structures where conventional classifiers show low accuracy rates.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Cellular Automata for Research and Industry, ACRI 2010, held in Ascoli Piceno, Italy, in September 2010. The first part of the volume contains 39 revised papers that were carefully reviewed and selected from the main conference; they are organized according to six main topics: theoretical results on cellular automata, modeling and simulation with cellular automata, CA dynamics, control and synchronization, codes and cryptography with cellular automata, cellular automata and networks, as well as CA-based hardware. The second part of the volume comprises 35 revised papers dedicated to contributions presented during ACRI 2010 workshops on theoretical advances, specifically asynchronous cellular automata, and challenging application contexts for cellular automata: crowds and CA, traffic and CA, and the international workshop of natural computing.

The paper is devoted to the description of two approaches for recognizing railway roadbed profiles, obtained with the help of laser scanning. The first approach is based on the identification of similar parts of comparing profiles, presented by their polygonal representations. The second approach uses weighted functional metrics, where it is possible to process incomplete data and then to make a choice on the set of preferences.
Studied is a possibility of increasing the accuracy of diagnostics by examining a number of diagnostic rules as a set of expert assessments, which allows one to combine them («mix of expert opinions»). Proposed is to use of the principle of minimum-information-mismatch in Kullback - Leibler metric to highlight the rule most appropriate for classification of a particular object. Program and results of experimental study are presented in the problem of automatic recognition of gray-scale images. It is shown that the developed approach can significantly improve the quality of diagnostics.
