description: Video summarization is a process where a long video file is converted to a considerably shorter form. The video summary can then be used to facilitate efficient searching and browsing of video files in large video collections. The aim of successful automatic summarization is to preserve as much as possible from the essential content of each video. What is essential is of course subjective and also dependent on the use of the videos and the overall content of the collection. In this paper we present an overview of the SOM-based methodology we have used for video summarization, which analyzes the temporal trajectories of the best-matching units of frame-wise feature vectors. It has been developed as a part of PicSOM, our content-based multimedia information retrieval and analysis framework. The video material we have used in our experiments comes from NIST's annual TRECVID evaluation for content-based video retrieval systems.

description: In some application contexts, data are better described by a matrix of pairwise dissimilarities rather than by a vector representation. Clustering and topographic mapping algorithms have been adapted to this type of data, either via the generalized Median principle, or more recently with the so called relational approach, in which prototypes are represented by virtual linear combinations of the original observations. One drawback of those methods is their complexity, which scales as the square of the number of observations, mainly because they use dense prototype representations: each prototype is obtained as a virtual combination of all the elements of its cluster (at least). We propose in this paper to use a sparse representation of the prototypes to obtain relational algorithms with sub-quadratic complexity.

Year: 2007

description: Self-Organising Maps have been used for a wide range of clustering applications. They are well-suited for various visualisation techniques to offer better insight into the clustered data sets. A particularly feasible visualisation is the plotting of single components of a data set and their distribution across the SOM. One central problem of the visualisation of Component Planes is that a single plot is needed for each component; this understandably leads to problems with higher-dimensional data. We therefore build on the Metro Visualisation for Self-Organising Maps which integrates the idea of Component Planes into one illustration. Higher-dimensional data sets still pose problems in terms of overloaded visualisations - component selection and aggregation techniques are highly desirable. We therefore propose and compare two methods, one for the aggregation of correlated components, one for the selection of the components most feasible for visualisation for a given clustering.

description: Spectral clustering, as a popular tool for data clustering, requires an eigen-decomposition step on a given affinity to obtain the spectral embedding. Nevertheless, such a step suffers from the lack of generalizability and scalability. Moreover, the obtained spectral embeddings can hardly provide a good approximation to the ground-truth partition and thus a k-means step is adopted to quantize the embedding. In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective scalable and generalizable approach, called Neural Normalized Cut (NeuNcut), to learn the clustering membership for spectral clustering directly. In NeuNcut, we properly reparameterize the unknown cluster membership via a neural network, and train the neural network via stochastic gradient descent with a properly relaxed normalized cut loss. As a result, our NeuNcut enjoys a desired generalization ability to directly infer clustering membership for out-of-sample unseen data and hence brings us an efficient way to handle clustering task with ultra large-scale data. We conduct extensive experiments on both synthetic data and benchmark datasets and experimental results validate the effectiveness and the superiority of our approach. Our code is available at: https://github.com/hewei98/NeuNcut.

description: A new self-organizing map with variable topology is introduced for image segmentation. The proposed network, called Local Adaptive Receptive Field Self-Organizing Map (LARFSOM-RBF), is a two-stage network capable of both color and border segment images. The color segmentation stage is responsibility of LARFSOM which is characterized by adaptive number of nodes, fast convergence and variable topology. For border segmentation RBF nodes are included to determine the border pixels using previously learned information of LARFSOM. LARFSOM-RBF was tested to segment images with different degrees of complexity showing promising results.

Year: 2007

description: We present a classifier algorithm that approximates the decision surface of labeled data by a patchwork of separating hyperplanes. The hyperplanes are arranged in a way inspired by how Self-Organizing Maps are trained. We take advantage of the fact that the boundaries can often be approximated by linear ones connected by a low-dimensional nonlinear manifold. The resulting classifier allows for a voting scheme that averages over the classifiction results of neighboring hyperplanes. Our algorithm is computationally efficient both in terms of training and classification. Further, we present a model selection framework for estimation of the paratmeters of the classification boundary, and show results for artificial and real-world data sets.

Year: 2007

description: The self-organizing map (SOM) and some of its variants such as visualization induced SOM (ViSOM) have been shown to yield similar results to multidimensional scaling (MDS). However the exact connection has yet been established. In this paper we first examine their relationship with (generalized) MDS from their cost functions in the aspect of data visualization and dimensionality reduction. The SOM is shown to produce a quantized, qualitative or nonmetric scaling and while the ViSOM is a quantitative metric scaling. Then we propose a way to use the core principle of the ViSOM, i.e. local distance preserving, to adaptively and incrementally construct a metric local scaling and to extract nonlinear manifold. Comparison with other methods such as ISOMAP and LLE has been made, especially in mapping highly nonlinear subspaces. The advantages over other methods are also discussed.

description: In this paper the Merge Neural Gas (MNG) model is applied to detect sleep spindles in EEG. Features are extracted from windows of the EEG by using short time Fourier transform. The total power spectrum is computed in six frequency bands and used as input to the MNG network. The results show that MNG outperforms simple neural gas in correctly detecting sleep spindles. In addition the temporal quantization results as well as sleep trajectories are visualized on two-dimensional maps by using the OVING projection method.

Year: 2007

description: Our previous studies assigned labels to mnSOM modules based on the assumption that winner modules corresponding to subsequences in the same class share the same label. We propose segmentation using hierarchical clustering based on the resulting mnSOM. Since it does not need the above unrealistic assumption, it gains practical importance at the sacrifice of the deterioration of the segmentation performance by 1.2%. We compare the performance of task segmentation for two kinds of module architecture in mnSOM. The result is that module architecture with sensory-motor signals as target outputs has superior performance to that with only sensory signals as target outputs.

description: Traditionally, theatre actors wore masks to embody individuals with no clear identity. Masks did not feature specific anthropomorphic qualities, leaving audiences free to imagine the malleable and anonymous characters between fiction and actual plausibility. In contrast, in the photographic series Arthur Rimbaud in New York by artist, writer, and activist David Wojnarowicz, the use of a Rimbaud mask seems to have an opposite intention, overlapping meanings and allowing spatiotemporal compression. Portraying the French poet in different contexts and activities, Wojnarowicz is able to interpret the notion of identity and belonging following a narrative that is fictional, biographical and collective, addressing queer histories and temporalities. This paper discusses the multiple possibilities that the mask represents in this work.

description: We have developed a convolutional neural network (CNN) to reconstruct the shape of irregular rough particles from their interferometric images. The CNN is based on a UNET architecture with residual block modules. The database has been constructed using the experimental patterns generated by perfectly known pseudo-particles programmed on a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) and under laser illumination. The CNN has been trained on a basis of 18000 experimental interferometric images using the AUSTRAL super computer (at CRIANN in Normandy). The CNN is tested in the case of centrosymmetric (stick, cross, dendrite) and non-centrosymmetric (like T, Y or L) particles. The size and the 3D orientation of the programmed particles are random. The different shapes are reconstructed by the CNN with good accuracy. Using three angles of view, the 3D reconstruction of particles from three reconstructed faces can be further done.

description: Society is very interested in the quality of food products, and lately in the presence of some specific compounds, such as polyphenols, with health beneficial properties. Polyphenols are aromatic secondary metabolites ubiquitously spread through the plant kingdom, and they caught the attention of consumers because of their antioxidant properties, their great abundance in our diet, and their probable role in the prevention of various diseases. However, nowadays there is a great concern about the possibility of frauds regarding the classification and authentication of, for instance, fruit processed products and pharmaceuticals.

In this work, the determination of polyphenolic profiles by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) techniques was explored for the characterization and authentication of berry-based natural and pharmaceutical extracts. For that purpose, more than 100 samples including cranberry-, blueberry-, raspberry-, and grape-based extracts and cranberry-based pharmaceuticals were analyzed using different LC-MS techniques, and the polyphenolic profiles submitted to principal component analysis for sample classification and authentication. The score-plot results showed that polyphenolic data obtained by low resolution and high resolution mass spectrometry was very helpful in the classification and authentication of the analyzed samples, and several biomarkers were identified.

description: Hydroxytyrosol [2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)ethanol] is a potent bioactive molecule with multiple health benefits that is present in olive oil and wine. In humans, ethanol intake induces the formation of small amounts of hydroxytyrosol through the alteration of dopamine metabolism (1). In rats, tyrosol is converted into hydroxytyrosol. It has been postulated that wine components (specifically tyrosol and ethanol) act synergistically generating important amounts of hydroxytyrosol (2). The aim of this study was to assess the contribution of tyrosol and/or ethanol on hydroxytyrosol recovery in the urine of healthy volunteers. The effect of white wine (WW; a source of ethanol with low phenolic content) and/or pure tyrosol on the urinary excretion of total hydroxytyrosol was evaluated. Tyrosol, hydroxytyrosol and their metabolites were quantified by LC-MS/MS. Results showed that (i) WW increased hydroxytyrosol urinary recovery, (ii) pure tyrosol also increased this recovery, and (iii) the combination of WW+tyrosol resulted in an exponential increase of hydroxytyrosol. These data demonstrates the in vivo formation of hydroxytyrosol from tyrosol in humans and evidences the synergistic effect of ethanol and tyrosol on hydroxytyrosol endogenous formation. These results open a new venue in our understanding of health beneficial effects associated to the intake of moderate doses of wine.

description: Hydroxytyrosol (OHTYR) is a phenolic compound with antioxidant activity present in olive oil and wine. After ingestion, it undergoes extensive phase II metabolism giving rise to different sulphate and glucuronide conjugates to the extent that the free form is deemed undetectable in plasma. We have developed two different methods to quantify separately: (i) free OHTYR and (ii) OHTYR metabolites in human plasma by LC/MS/MS. Because low concentrations, free OHTYR determination includes a benzylamine derivatization in order to increase sensitivity (LOD=0.3 ng/mL, LLOQ=1 ng/mL)1. The methods have been applied to monitor the circulating levels of free OHTYR and its metabolites following the ingestion of extra-virgin olive oil (45 mL). OHTYR was rapidly absorbed (Tmax = 30 – 45 minutes) and metabolized. According to AUCs, OHTYR was mainly found in plasma in the form of sulphates (53%) and glucuronides (42%) whereas free OHTYR accounted for less than 5%. Because of the low bioavailability of the free form of OHTYR, the biological activity of metabolites should be investigated more in depth. Analytical methods reported are a valuable tool to better understand health benefits derived from the ingestion of foods containing OHTYR.

description: Nowadays, application of emerging extraction techniques for isolation of bioactive compounds from natural sources is constantly growing. The reasons for that are essential advantages comparing to traditional extraction techniques. Reduced time and solvent consumption, improved yield and extraction efficiency and environmentally-friendly aspects could be designated as crucial improvements of modern extraction techniques. Therefore, ultrasound-assisted (UAE), microwave-assisted (MAE) and subcritical water (SWE) extractions were utilized for isolation of coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) seeds phenolic antioxidants. Extractions were performed using designed experiments and response surface methodology (RSM) was used for optimization of each process separately. Various extraction parameters were investigated as independent variables: 1) temperature, extraction time and ultrasonic power for UAE, 2) ethanol concentration, extraction time and irradiation power for MAE and 3) temperature, pressure and extraction time for SWE. Their influence on different response variables (total phenols content, total flavonoids content and antioxidant activity) was further determined. It could be concluded that all accelerated extraction techniques showed certain advantages in terms of improved polyphenols yield and reduced extraction time comparing to conventional processes. SWE provided the most significant increase of polyphenols yield, however, degradation and transformation of certain polyphenols was observed due to severe extraction conditions, i.e. elevated temperature.

Olive Mill Wastewater Processing For Antioxidant Fractions and Antimicrobial Products
Creators: name: Azaiozeh, Hassan Ahmad
Publisher: name: Journal of International Society of Antioxidants in  Nutrition & Health
Year: 2016

description: Olive mill wastewater (OMW) contains substantial amounts of valuable antioxidant phenols that can be recovered for industrial application as food additives, antimicrobial and other pharmaceuticals. Five different OMW fractions were obtained, their antioxidant potential determined by DPPH, ORAC and a β–carotene bleaching test. The total phenol level ranged between 115-170 mg/l. The main compounds were hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol, caffeic acid, vanillic acid, verbascoside, oleuropein, ferulic acid and p-coumaric acid. DPPH test showed that the fraction of alkyl aromatic alcohols (AAA) was the best with EC50 of 20mg/l and the pure hydroxytyrosol with 2mg/l. ORAC test showed that AAA and semi hydrolyzed total phenol (s-TP) fractions were significantly better than Trolox when compared to Trolox. There is a high correlation between total phenol (TP) content and hydroxytyrosol concentration (r2=0.900). TP formula was found to be effective to control fungi grown on strawberries. In vitro tests showed a strong synergistic activity as the minimal inhibitory concentrations of 50/100-100/100 µg ml/l of AntiSolvent/gallic acid completely inhibited the growth of Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Our synergy technology based on OMW fractions are under way to produce some formulations to control pathogens contaminating agricultural products and food preservation.

description: Leaves of wild Vaccinium spp. berries are considered a valuable source of antioxidants, mainly belonging to polyphenols, specifically flavonoids provide significant protection against the development and progression of many chronic pathological conditions including cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, cardio-vascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Targeted high-performance liquid chromatography-electro spray ionization-high resolution mass spectrometry operated in the tandem mode (LC-ESI/HRMS2) approach was applied to evaluate and compare the metabolite profiles of bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) and lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea L.) leaves originating from the Rhodope Mountain in Bulgaria during growing season. In total, 55 different phenolic compounds, 52 in bilberry and 48 in lingonberry were identified and quantified, including flavan-3-ols, proanthocyanidins, flavonols and their glycosides, iridoids, cinchonain isomers, various phenolic acid conjugates. The contents of different metabolites varied remarkably in bilberry leaves, whereas in lingonberry leaves the metabolites maintained quite constant levels during the growing season.

Year: 2007

description: In this paper, an important application of Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) to construction of adaptive meshes is considered. It is shown that application of the basic SOM model leads to a number of problems like inaccurate fitting the border of a physical domain, mesh self-crossings, etc. The composite SOM model is proposed which is based on the composition of a number of SOM models interacting in a special way and self-organizing over their own set of input data. A core of the composite SOM model is the colored SOM model with nonadjustable neurons which provides us a technique to control the neuron weights adjustment taking into account the fixed ones and the general layout of the mesh. As a result, the composite SOM model allows us to approximate an arbitrary complex physical domains with well topology preservation.

description: Data visualization has become an important tool for analyzing very complex data. In particular, spatial visualization enables users to view data in a intuitive manner. It has typically been used to externalize clusters and their relationships which exist in highly complex multidimensional data. We envisage that not only cluster formation and relationships but also other types of information, such as temporal changes of datum, can be extracted through the spatialization. In this paper, we investigate an application of trajectory/path analysis carried out using a Self-Organizing Map as a spatialization method. We propose an application of distance transformations to the Geodesic Self-Organizing Map. This new approach allows a user to visually inspect the trajectory of multidimensional knowledge pieces on a two-dimensional space. The trajectories discovered through this approach are essentially the shortest paths between two points on the Self-Organizing Map. However, those paths might go outside of the input dataspace due to the connectivity of neurons imposed by the grid structure. We also present a method to find the shortest path, which falls within the input dataspace using simple floodplain analysis.

Self-organizing homotopy network

Publisher: name: International Workshop on Self-Organizing Maps : Proceedings

description: In this paper, we propose a conceptual learning algorithm called the 'self-organizing homotopy (SOH)' together with an implementation thereof. As in the case of the SOM, our SOH organizes a homotopy in a self-organizing manner by giving a set of data episodes. Thus it is an extension of the SOM, moving from a 'map' to a 'homotopy'. From a geometrical viewpoint, the SOH represents a set of (i.e. multiple) data distributions by a fiber bundle, whereas the SOM represents a single data distribution by a manifold. One of the solutions to the SOH is SOM², in which every reference vector unit of the conventional SOM is itself replaced by an SOM. Consequently SOM² has the ability to represent a fiber bundle, i.e. a product manifold, by using a product space of SOM x SOM. It is expected that SOHs will play important roles in the fields of pattern recognition, adaptive functions, context understanding, and others, in which nonlinear manifolds and the homotopy play crucial roles.

description: In todays bioinformatics, Mass spectrometry (MS) is the key technique for the identification of proteins. A prediction of spectrum peak intensities from pre computed molecular features would pave the way to better understanding of spectrometry data and improved spectrum evaluation. We propose a neural network architecture of Local Linear Map (LLM)-type based on Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs) for peptide prototyping and learning locally tuned regression functions for peak intensity prediction in MALDI-TOF mass spectra. We obtain results comparable to those obtained by nu-Support Vector Regression and show how the SOM learning architecture provides a basis for peptide feature profiling and visualisation.

Description of Input Patterns by Linear Mixtures of SOM Models
Creators: name: Kohonen, Teuvo
Publisher: name: International Workshop on Self-Organizing Maps : Proceedings
Year: 2007

description: This paper introduces a novel way of analyzing input patterns presented to the Self-Organizing Map (SOM). Instead of identifying only the "winner," i.e., the model that matches best with the input, we determine the linear mixture of the models (reference vectors) of the SOM that approximates to the input vector best. It will be shown that if only nonnegative weights are allowed in this linear mixture, the expansion of the input pattern in terms of the models is very meaningful, contains only few terms, and provides a better insight into the input state than what the mere "winner" can give. If then the models fall into classes that are known a priori, the sums of the weights over each class can be interpreted as expressing the affiliation of the input with the due classes.

Modular Network SOM and Self-Organizing Homotopy Network as a Foundation for Brain-like Intelligence
Creators: name: Furukawa, Tetsuo
Publisher: name: International Workshop on Self-Organizing Maps : Proceedings
Year: 2007

description: In this paper, two generalizations of the SOM are introduced. The first of these extends the SOM to deal with more generalized classes of objects besides the vector dataset. This generalization is realized by employing modular networks instead of reference vector units and is thus called a modular network SOM (mnSOM). The second generalization involves the extension of the SOM from "map" to "homotopy", allowing the SOM to deal with a set of data distributions rather than a set of data vectors. The resulting architecture is called SOM^n, where each reference unit represents a tensor of rank n. These generalizations are expected to provide good platforms on which to build brain-like intelligence.

description: The standard formulation of parton physics involves light-cone correlations of quark and gluon fields in a hadron, which leads to a widespread impression that it can only be studied through real-time Hamiltonian dynamics or light-front quantization, which are challenged by non-perturbative computations with a pertinent regulator for light-cone/rapidity divergences (or zero modes). As such, standard lattice QCD studies have been limited to indirect parton observables such as first few moments and short-distance correlations, which do not provide the $x$-distributions without solving the model-dependent inverse problem. Here I describe an alternative formulation of partons in terms of equal-time (or Euclidean) correlators, which allows to compute precision-controlled $x$-distribution through lattice QCD simulations. This approach is in accord with Weinberg's pioneering idea of effective field theory as well as Wilson's renormalization group, in which the large hadron momentum serves as a natural cut-off for light-cone/rapidity divergences and can ultimately be eliminated through a method like the ``perfect action'' program in lattice QCD.

description: Clitoria ternatea petal flower is a rich sources of phenolic compounds have been shown to exhibit antioxidant properties1. Currently, exogenous antioxidants such as phenolic compounds and plant derivatives are added to cooked meat products to improve oxidative stability2. Objectives: This experiment examined the efﬁcacy of Clitoria ternatea extract (CTE) in curtailing lipid and protein oxidation taking place in cooked pork patties during refrigerator storage. Methodology: The pork meats mixed with CTE (0.02–0.16% w/w) were cooked and stored in a refrigerator (4°C) for 12 days. Results: The results showed that the cooked pork patties with added CTE showed high radical scavenging activity. Addition of CTE (0.02–0.16% w/w) signiﬁcantly reduced the level of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS). Protein oxidation was seen to involve a decrease in carbonyl content and a concomitant increase in protein thiol levels in cooked pork patties containing CTE during storage. In addition, the pork patties together with CTE had a lower Hunter color L*- and higher a*-value than control. CTE (0.08–0.16%) had the potential to inhibit oxidative rancidity as well as synthetic antioxidant (0.02% BHT). Conclusion: The ﬁndings indicate that CTE has great potential as a natural antioxidant for producing functionally improved meat products.

description: Cyanidin-3-rutinoside (C3R) is a natural anthocyanin contained in fruits and vegetables, possesses various pharmacological activities [1, 2]. The purpose of this study was to investigate the vasorelaxation effects of C3R in rat thoracic aorta. The intravenous infusion of C3R (3-5 mg/kg) in anesthetized Wistar Kyoto (WKY) concentration-dependently reduced mean arterial blood pressure by 10.5±1.4 to 22.5±2.6% (p<0.05). The rat thoracic aorta was rapidly dissected out and the vasorelaxing effect of C3R (0.1 nM-30 µM) was measured in the aortic rings pre-contraction with noradrenaline. The result showed that C3R induced relaxation in both endothelial-intact and -denuded rings with EC50 at 2.43±0.57 µM and 2.56±0.65 µM, respectively. The low concentration range of C3R (1-100 nM) relaxed the rings in endothelium-dependent manner which was inhibited by the removal of endothelium or by Nɷ-nitro-L-arginine (NOLA), an endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) inhibitor. The vasorelaing effects of C3R were associated with the upregulation of eNOS mRNA. Our findings suggest that C3R-induced upregulation of eNOS expression is a major mechanism by which increasing synthesis of the vasodilator nitric oxide contributes to hypotension in normal rats.
