In this study, we propose a hierarchical classification system, which emulates the eye-brain channel in two hierarchical layers. In the first layer, a set of classifiers are trained by using low level, low dimensional features. In the second layer, the recognition results of the first layer are fed to the Fuzzy ARTMAP (FAM) classifier which implements the Adaptive Resonance Theory. Experiments indicate that the hierarchical approach proposed in this paper, increases the classification performances compared to the available methods.

An fMRI segmentation method under markov random fields for brain decoding
Aksan, Emre; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay; Department of Computer Engineering (2015)
In this study, a specially tailored segmentation method for partitioning the fMRI data into a set of "homogenous" regions with respect to a predefined cost function is proposed. The proposed method, referred as f-MRF, employs univariate and multivariate fMRI data analysis techniques under Markov Random Fields to estimate the segments by resolving a mixture density. The univariate approach helps identifying activation pattern of a voxel independently from other voxels. In order to capture local interactions ...
A temporal neuro-fuzzy approach for time-series analysis
Yılmaz (Şişman), Nuran Arzu; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Department of Computer Engineering (2003)
The subject of this thesis is to develop a temporal neuro-fuzzy system for fore- casting the future behavior of a multivariate time series data. The system has two components combined by means of a system interface. First, a rule extraction method is designed which is named Fuzzy MAR (Multivari- ate Auto-regression). The method produces the temporal relationships between each of the variables and past values of all variables in the multivariate time series system in the form of fuzzy rules. These rules may ...
A temporal neurofuzzy model for rule-based systems
Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Jain, L (1997-05-23)
This paper reports the development of a temporal neuro-fuzzy model using fuzzy reasoning which is capable of representing the temporal information. The system is implemented as a feedforward multilayer neural network. The learning algorithm is a modification of the backpropagation algorithm. The system is aimed to be used in medical diagnosis systems.
A statistical unified framework for rank-based multiple classifier decision combination
Saranlı, Afşar (2001-04-01)
This study presents a theoretical investigation of the rank-based multiple classifier decision combination problem, with the aim of providing a unified framework to understand a variety of such systems. The combination of the decisions of more than one classifiers with the aim of improving overall system performance is a concept of general interest in pattern recognition, as a viable alternative to designing a single sophisticated classifier. The problem of combining the classifier decisions in the raw form...
A neuro-fuzzy MAR algorithm for temporal rule-based systems
Sisman, NA; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Akman, V (1999-08-04)
This paper introduces a new neuro-fuzzy model for constructing a knowledge base of temporal fuzzy rules obtained by the Multivariate Autoregressive (MAR) algorithm. The model described contains two main parts, one for fuzzy-rule extraction and one for the storage of extracted rules. The fuzzy rules are obtained from time series data using the MAR algorithm. Time-series analysis basically deals with tabular data. It interprets the data obtained for making inferences about future behavior of the variables. Fu...
