Handwritten signature has been considered as one of the most widely accepted behavioral personal trait in Biometric security system; and  It contains various dynamic and innate behavioral traits like shapes and patterns which can certainly find a person’s soft characteristics like age, gender, Personality, handedness and many more. Person’s signature or handwriting determines the state of the person’s mind or personality characteristics at the time of writing. This paper provides a personality prediction system of different characteristics determining the personality of a person based on offline handwritten signature Images. Experiments are carried out using supervised learning techniques. Results shows a significant recognition rate and validates the effectiveness against the state-of-art techniques in comparison to similar works.

Biometric security applications have been employed for providing a higher security in several access control systems during the past few years. The handwritten signature is the most widely accepted behavioral biometric trait for authenticating the documents like letters, contracts, wills, MOU’s, etc. for validation in day to day life. In this paper, a novel algorithm to detect gender of individuals based on the image of their handwritten signatures is proposed. The proposed work is based on the fusion of textural and statistical features extracted from the signature images. The LBP and HOG features represent the texture. The writer’s gender classification is carried out using machine learning techniques. The proposed technique is evaluated on own dataset of 4,790 signatures and realized an encouraging accuracy of 96.17, 98.72 and 100% for k-NN, decision tree and Support Vector Machine classifiers, respectively. The proposed method is expected to be useful in design of efficient computer vision tools for authentication and forensic investigation of documents with handwritten signatures.

Abstract Rockfalls are a hazard for the safety of infrastructure as well as people. Identifying loose rocks by inspection of slopes adjacent to roadways and other infrastructure and removing them in advance can be an effective way to prevent unexpected rockfall incidents. This paper proposes a system towards an automated inspection for potential rockfalls. A robot is used to repeatedly strike or tap on the rock surface. The sound from the tapping is collected by the robot and subsequently classified with the intent of identifying rocks that are broken and prone to fall. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) of the collected acoustic data is used to recognize patterns associated with rocks of various conditions, including intact as well as rock with different types and locations of cracks. The PCA classification was first demonstrated simulating sounds of different characteristics that were automatically trained and tested. Secondly, a laboratory test was conducted tapping rock specimens with three different levels of discontinuity in depth and shape. A real microphone mounted on the robot recorded the sound and the data were classified in three clusters within 2D space. A model was created using the training data to classify the reminder of the data (the test data). The performance of the method is evaluated with a confusion matrix.

We present a novel approach for decreasing state uncertainty in planning prior to solving the planning problem. This is done by making predictions about the state based on currently known information, using machine learning techniques. For domains where uncertainty is high, we define an active learning process for identifying which information, once sensed, will best improve the accuracy of predictions. We demonstrate that an agent is able to solve problems with uncertainties in the state with less planning effort compared to standard planning techniques. Moreover, agents can solve problems for which they could not find valid plans without using predictions. Experimental results also demonstrate that using our active learning process for identifying information to be sensed leads to gathering information that improves the prediction process.


Personality has been important for a number of types of cooperation; it has useful in predicting job achievement, expert and emotional relationship achievement, and even tendency towards a variety of interfaces. To accurately examine the characters of users, a personality test must be carried out. In numerous areas of online life it is usually impractical to use character research. . We used SVM classification, Random Forest algorithm, Naïve Bayes Algorithm and Logistic regression to comparatively predict the user’s personality accurately. The main goal of the paper is to evaluate the machine learning models using the four parameters- accuracy, precision, recall, f1 score and basing upon these parameters the best machine learning model will be used to classify the big five personality traits of the twitter users.

Facial expressions can tell a lot about an individual’s emotional state. Recent technological advances opening avenues for automatic Facial Expression Recognition (FER) based on machine learning techniques. Many works have been done on FER for the classification of facial expressions. However, the applicability to more naturalistic facial expressions remains unclear. This paper intends to develop a machine learning approach based on the Delaunay triangulation to extract the relevant facial features allowing classifying facial expressions. Initially, from the given facial image, a set of discriminative landmarks are extracted. Along with this, a minimal landmark connected graph is also extracted. Thereby, from the connected graph, the expression is represented by a one-dimensional feature vector. Finally, the obtained vector is subject for classification by six well-known classifiers (KNN, NB, DT, QDA, RF and SVM). The experiments are conducted on four standard databases (CK+, KDEF, JAFFE and MUG) to evaluate the performance of the proposed approach and find out which classifier is better suited to our system. The QDA approach based on the Delaunay triangulation has a high accuracy of 96.94% since it only supports non-zero pixels, which increases the recognition rate.

Discharge prediction methods play crucial role in providing early warnings and helping local people and government agencies to prepare well before flood or managing available water for various purposes. The ability to predict future river flows helps people anticipate and plan for upcoming flooding, preventing deaths and decreasing property destruction. Different hydrological models supporting these predictions have different characteristics, driven by available data and the research area. This study applied two different types of Machine learning techniques to the Tikarpara station present in the lower end of the Mahanadi river basin India. The two Machine learning techniques include Multi-layer perception (MLP) and support vector regression (SVR) MLP has shown great deal of accuracy as compared to SVR across the cases used in the study; based on available data and the study area, MLP showed the best applicability, compared to SVR techniques. MLP out performed SVR model with r2 = 0.75 and lowest RMSE = 0.58.MLP can be used as a promising tool for forecasting monthly discharge at the selected station.

Abstract Translations are generally assumed to share universal features that distinguish them from texts that are originally written in the same language. Thus, we can argue that these translations constitute their own variety of a language, often called translationese. However, translations are also influenced by their source languages and thus show different characteristics depending on the source language. Consequently, we argue that these variants constitute different “dialects” of translations into the same target language. Studies using machine learning techniques on Indo-European languages have investigated the universal characteristics of translationese and how translations from various source languages differ. However, for typologically very different languages such as Chinese, there are only few corpus studies that tap into the intricate relation between translations and the originals, as well as into the relations among translations themselves. In this contribution, we investigate the following questions: (1) What are the characteristics of Chinese translationese, both in general and with respect to different source languages? (2) Can we find differences not only at the lexical but also on the syntactic level? and (3) Based on the characteristics found in the previous questions, which of the proposed laws and universals can we corroborate based on our evidence from Chinese? We use machine learning to operationalize determining the importance of different characteristics and comparing their importance for our Chinese dataset with characteristics previously reported in studies on English. In addition, our methodology allows us to add syntactic features, which have rarely been used to study translations into Chinese. Our results show that Chinese translations as a whole can be reliably distinguished from non-translations, even based on only five features. More interestingly, typological traces from the source languages can often be found in their translations, therefore creating what we call dialects of translationese. For instance, translations from two Altaic languages exhibit more noun repetition and less frequent use of pronouns. Additionally, some characteristics that are not discriminative for English work well for Chinese, possibly because the distance between Chinese and the source languages is greater than that in English studies.
