Abstract

Computational intelligence approaches can arbitrarily closely approximate functions, e.g. neural networks and fuzzy systems. They can do effective searches of a global space for optimization e.g. evolutionary computation. Today very large sets of data are being collected. Some of them have class labels, for example instances of cellular telephone fraud. Others, do not have labels, for example pixels in a scene contained in an image. When data sets grow large, they pose a challenge to computational intelligence techniques to build models in a timely fashion. This talk will discuss distributed approaches to dealing with very large data sets. It will also discuss how to deal with data sets in which the class of interest is quite small (examples of fraud, for instance). Methods of applying neural network models to data sets with many examples and potentially skewed class distributions will be discussed. Also, fuzzy clustering for very large data sets will be discussed. Some examples will be given from the domain of protein secondary structure prediction among other data sets. Arguments for distributed learning which results in ensembles of classifiers rather than subsampling large data sets will be presented.
 

Speaker Biography

 

Prof. Hall's research interests lie in hybrid computational intelligence systems, machine learning, pattern recognition and integrating AI into medical image processing. The exploitation of imprecision with the use of fuzzy logic in pattern recognition, AI and learning is a research theme. Distributed learning systems are another area of interest. He has written over 50 journal papers and a number of conference papers. He co-edited the 1994 joint North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society (NAFIPS), IFIS and NASA conference proceedings and the 1998 proceedings, and IFSA/NAFIPS'03 conference proceedings. He is a fellow of the IEEE, a past president of NAFIPS. Also, associate editor for IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems, and the International Journal of Intelligent Data Analysis. Fuzzy Logic. He is the Editor-in-Chief for the IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man and Cybernetics, Part B.

Humanoid Robot HanSaRam: Schemes for ZMP compensation

Abstract: The purpose of this talk is to give an overview of recent progress and development in humanoid robot, HanSaRam series. HanSaRam is a humanoid robot undergoing continual design and development in the Robot Intelligence Technology (RIT) Laboratory at KAIST. This talk also presents the experimental results of the ZMP compensation in the walking and standing posture of HSR-IV. During walking motion, proportional ZMP compensation scheme is employed.  A novel two mode Q-learning, which extends standard Q-learning, is used to compensate ZMP in the standing posture. In the proposed two mode Q-learning, both the success and failure experiences of an agent is used for fast convergence. The effectiveness of two mode Q-learning is verified through real experiment. Also, the recently developed humanoid robot, HSR-V is introduced in this talk to give an idea about the future directions of our ongoing research.
