This paper concerns some special properties of the principal eigen-value of nonlinear elliptic systems with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We study the stability with respect to the exponents p and q; and the dependence on the domain variations. 1.

MLP has an extensive array of classification and regression applications in a wide range of domains. Selecting the right neural network architecture to solve a specific problem is one of the major areas of neural network research. The number of neurons in the hidden layers and the initial weights have a great effect on the convergence of MLP training algorithms. This paper presents a technique termed hyperparameter optimization model for the multilayer perceptron. We model in terms of mixed-variable optimization problems with nonlinear constraints. To solve the obtained model, a hybrid algorithm is used, based on the genetic algorithm and the backpropagation algorithm. The numerical results demonstrate the efficiency of the technique presented in this paper, and the advantages of the proposed model vis-a-vis the previous state-of-the-art model.

Though its conceptual simplicity, the computer vision problem has proven extremely challenging due to multitude of compound factors such as pose, expression, occlusion and illumination. In this paper, we survey the recent advances of facial landmarks localization techniques and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the presented algorithms.

To be more specific, the challenge of this work is to propose a novel system to assist people in developing good habits using deep learning techniques. To achieve this goal, we propose the use of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). The two best-known supervised learning method. The first step consists of using a deep RNN neural network to perform the captioning of the user’s activities. Then use another deep CNN to do the classification of the activity based on the result of the first network and then decide whether what the user is doing is a good habit or not. To our knowledge, there is no previous work dealing with this topic through a computer science lens, and this will be of greater value to most of the people who are interested in developing new good habits. This system will also suggest new directions for basic and applied research on success in general and good habits in particular.

Automatically characterizing the experience and extracting patterns of behavior of individuals from this huge collection of unlabeled and unstructured egocentric data present major challenges and require novel and efficient algorithmic solutions. The main goal of this work is to propose a new method to automatically assess day similarity from the lifelogging images of a person. We propose a technique to measure the similarity between images based on the Swain's distance and generalize it to detect similarity between daily visual data. To this purpose, we apply dynamic time warping (DTW) combined with the Swain's distance for final day similarity estimation. For validation, we apply our technique on the Egocentric Dataset of University of Barcelona (EDUB) of 4912 daily images acquired by 4 persons with preliminary encouraging results.

Many works have been proposed to solve this problem. However, the performance gap existing between the human visual system and machines in face recognition remain important. This paper makes two contributions: firstly, for improving face recognition in the wild, at least in terms of pose variations, we propose a method for aligning faces by employing single-3D face model as reference produced by FaceGen Modeller. Secondly, we developed a novel face representation technique based on Gabor Filters. The proposed approach relies on combination of Gabor magnitude and Gabor phase informations into an unified framework, which capable to surpass standard representations in the well-known FERET dataset.

In this paper, a new approach of content based image retrieval (CBIR) is presented, which is based on the image frequency content. Indeed, we have used the 2-D ESPRIT (Estimation of Signal Parameters via Rotationnal Invariance Techniques) method to extract from the image the frequency content for constructing the vector descriptor. Our approach is applied to the Coil_100 database and the experimental results show that this method improves the precision of image retrieval.

The rapid access to these huge collections of images and automatically characterizing an activity or an experience from this huge collection of unlabeled and unstructured egocentric data presents major challenges and requires novel and efficient algorithmic solutions. One of the big challenges of egocentric vision and lifelogging is to develop automatic algorithms to automatically characterize everyday activities. Such information is of high interest to predict migraines attacks or assure healthy behavior of patients and individuals of high healthy risk. In this work, we first conduct a comprehensive survey of existing egocentric datasets and we will present our future contribution to automatically characterize everyday activities.
