Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Hybridization of Enhanced Artificial Bee Colony-Least Squares Support Vector Machines for Price ForecastingZuriani Mustaffa, Yuhanis YusofProblem statement: As the performance of Least Squares Support Vector Machines (LSSVM) is highly rely on its value of regularization parameter, γ and kernel parameter, σ2, man-made approach is clearly not an appropriate solution since it may lead to blindness in certain extent. In addition, this technique is time consuming and unsystematic, which consequently affect the generalization performance of LSSVM. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 28 Aug 2012 · 6,802 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSingle Step Optimal Block Matched Motion Estimation with Motion Vectors Having Arbitrary Pixel PrecisionsCharlotte Yuk-Fan Ho, Bingo Wing-Kuen Ling, Saverio Giovanni Blasi et al.Problem statement: This study derives the optimal motion vector with arbitrary pixel precisions in a single step. Approach: A non-linear block matched motion model was proposed. Based on the proposed non-linear block matched motion model, the optimal motion vector which minimizes the mean square error was solved analytically in a single step via a gradient approach. Results: The mean square … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 12 Jan 2012 · 8,207 accessesView PDFCite
