Formation Control: Approaches for Distributed Agents (Studies in Systems, Decision and Control #205)
by Hyo-Sung AhnThis monograph introduces recent developments in formation control of distributed-agent systems. Eschewing the traditional concern with the dynamic characteristics of individual agents, the book proposes a treatment that studies the formation control problem in terms of interactions among agents including factors such as sensing topology, communication and actuation topologies, and computations. Keeping pace with recent technological advancements in control, communications, sensing and computation that have begun to bring the applications of distributed-systems theory out of the industrial sphere and into that of day-to-day life, this monograph provides distributed control algorithms for a group of agents that may behave together. Unlike traditional control laws that usually require measurements with respect to a global coordinate frame and communications between a centralized operation center and agents, this book provides control laws that require only relative measurements and communications between agents without interaction with a centralized operator. Since the control algorithms presented in this book do not require any global sensing and any information exchanges with a centralized operation center, they can be realized in a fully distributed way, which significantly reduces the operation and implementation costs of a group of agents. Formation Control will give both students and researchers interested in pursuing this field a good grounding on which to base their work.

Post-Shrinkage Strategies in Statistical and Machine Learning for High Dimensional Data
by Syed Ejaz Ahmed Feryaal Ahmed Bahadir YüzbaşıThis book presents some post-estimation and predictions strategies for the host of useful statistical models with applications in data science. It combines statistical learning and machine learning techniques in a unique and optimal way. It is well-known that machine learning methods are subject to many issues relating to bias, and consequently the mean squared error and prediction error may explode. For this reason, we suggest shrinkage strategies to control the bias by combining a submodel selected by a penalized method with a model with many features. Further, the suggested shrinkage methodology can be successfully implemented for high dimensional data analysis. Many researchers in statistics and medical sciences work with big data. They need to analyse this data through statistical modelling. Estimating the model parameters accurately is an important part of the data analysis. This book may be a repository for developing improve estimation strategies for statisticians. This book will help researchers and practitioners for their teaching and advanced research, and is an excellent textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses involving shrinkage, statistical, and machine learning. The book succinctly reveals the bias inherited in machine learning method and successfully provides tools, tricks and tips to deal with the bias issue. Expertly sheds light on the fundamental reasoning for model selection and post estimation using shrinkage and related strategies. This presentation is fundamental, because shrinkage and other methods appropriate for model selection and estimation problems and there is a growing interest in this area to fill the gap between competitive strategies. Application of these strategies to real life data set from many walks of life. Analytical results are fully corroborated by numerical work and numerous worked examples are included in each chapter with numerous graphs for data visualization. The presentation and style of the book clearly makes it accessible to a broad audience. It offers rich, concise expositions of each strategy and clearly describes how to use each estimation strategy for the problem at hand. This book emphasizes that statistics/statisticians can play a dominant role in solving Big Data problems, and will put them on the precipice of scientific discovery. The book contributes novel methodologies for HDDA and will open a door for continued research in this hot area. The practical impact of the proposed work stems from wide applications. The developed computational packages will aid in analyzing a broad range of applications in many walks of life.

Composing Fisher Kernels from Deep Neural Models: A Practitioner's Approach (SpringerBriefs in Computer Science)
by Sarah Ahmed Tayyaba AzimThis book shows machine learning enthusiasts and practitioners how to get the best of both worlds by deriving Fisher kernels from deep learning models. In addition, the book shares insight on how to store and retrieve large-dimensional Fisher vectors using feature selection and compression techniques. Feature selection and feature compression are two of the most popular off-the-shelf methods for reducing data’s high-dimensional memory footprint and thus making it suitable for large-scale visual retrieval and classification. Kernel methods long remained the de facto standard for solving large-scale object classification tasks using low-level features, until the revival of deep models in 2006. Later, they made a comeback with improved Fisher vectors in 2010. However, their supremacy was always challenged by various versions of deep models, now considered to be the state of the art for solving various machine learning and computer vision tasks. Although the two research paradigms differ significantly, the excellent performance of Fisher kernels on the Image Net large-scale object classification dataset has caught the attention of numerous kernel practitioners, and many have drawn parallels between the two frameworks for improving the empirical performance on benchmark classification tasks. Exploring concrete examples on different data sets, the book compares the computational and statistical aspects of different dimensionality reduction approaches and identifies metrics to show which approach is superior to the other for Fisher vector encodings. It also provides references to some of the most useful resources that could provide practitioners and machine learning enthusiasts a quick start for learning and implementing a variety of deep learning models and kernel functions.
Cursive Script Text Recognition in Natural Scene Images: Arabic Text Complexities
