  • Performance Evaluation of Error-Correcting Output Coding Based on Noisy and Noiseless Binary Classifiers

    Gendo Kumoi, Hideki Yagi, Manabu Kobayashi, Masayuki Goto, Shigeichi Hirasawa

    International Journal of Neural Systems   33 ( 02 )  2023.02

     View Summary

    Error-correcting output coding (ECOC) is a method for constructing a multi-valued classifier using a combination of given binary classifiers. ECOC can estimate the correct category by other binary classifiers even if the output of some binary classifiers is incorrect based on the framework of the coding theory. The code word table representing the combination of these binary classifiers is important in ECOC. ECOC is known to perform well experimentally on real data. However, the complexity of the classification problem makes it difficult to analyze the classification performance in detail. For this reason, theoretical analysis of ECOC has not been conducted. In this study, if a binary classifier outputs the estimated posterior probability with errors, then this binary classifier is said to be noisy. In contrast, if a binary classifier outputs the true posterior probability, then this binary classifier is said to be noiseless. For a theoretical analysis of ECOC, we discuss the optimality for the code word table with noiseless binary classifiers and the error rate for one with noisy binary classifiers. This evaluation result shows that the Hamming distance of the code word table is an important indicator.

  • Learning-State-Estimation Method Using Browsing History and Electroencephalogram During Programming Language Learning and Its Evaluation

    Katsuyuki Umezawa, Tomohiko Saito, Takashi Ishida, Makoto Nakazawa, Shigeichi Hirasawa

    Communications in Computer and Information Science   1344   40 - 55  2021

     View Summary

    The failure of learners to obtain sufficient knowledge is caused by various factors, such as the difficulty level and quality of the learning materials and learner’s prior knowledge. The use of the learner’s learning log and biological information, such as the brain waves, heart rate, and eye movements during learning, makes it possible to detect the factors. If different brain waves can be measured according to the difficulty level of task execution, the difficulty level of e-learning materials can be adjusted so that the optimum learning effect can be obtained for each student. In this study, a system that obtains the learning logs during learning has been proposed. However, the learning time is insufficient to understand the learning state of the learners. For example, if the learning time is short, whether the learning materials were too easy or too difficult to abandon cannot be determined. Therefore, we propose a system and a method for estimating the learning state of the learners by comprehensively analyzing his/her learning history and brain wave. Moreover, we evaluate the learning state of high school students learning the C and Scratch programming languages using the proposed method. Also, by comparing the estimated results with those obtained from the questionnaire administered after the experiments, we evaluate the effectiveness of our proposed method.

     View Summary

    We proposed an editing record visualization system that can confirm learner modification of programs by storing a learning log. This system was utilized for an actual flipped classroom and stored an enormous volume of learning logs. Each learning log contained all the source code being modified until the program was completed. We also developed a debugging exercise extraction system to automatically generate problems with syntax errors for debugging practice using these learning logs. In this paper, we propose a method of identifying logic errors in cases where no error information is obtained by analyzing the learning log.

  • Evaluation of Grouped Flipped Classrooms Compared with Three-Year Actual Classes Using a Questionnaire

    Proceedings of the 2020 IEEE International Symposium on Accreditation of Engineering and Computing Education, ICACIT 2020    2020.11

     View Summary

    The concept of flipped classroom, in which face-to-face lessons are conducted in school after studying at home, is gaining interest. We proposed the 'grouped flipped-classroom' approach, which divides students in a face-to-face class into three groups based on time and their degree of comprehension of learning at home. We applied the grouped flipped-classroom concept to actual classes at the Shonan Institute of Technology, Kanagawa, Japan, for three years between 2017 and 2019. The number of students who took classes was 183 in 2017, 189 in 2018, and 224 in 2019. In this study, we analyzed the findings of a questionnaire. From the results, it becomes clear that there is a correlation between those who dislike grouping and those who feel that the learning content of lesson is challenging, and students with low understanding dislike grouping.

    In this paper, applying the technique of the DS2 bound, we derive an upper bound on the error probability of mismatched decoding with the ensemble of linear block codes, which was defined by Hof, Sason and Shamai. Assuming the ensemble of random linear block codes defined by Gallager, we show that the obtained bound is not looser than the conventional bound.

  • Detection of careless mistakes during programming learning using a simple electroencephalograph

    15th International Conference on Computer Science and Education, ICCSE 2020     72 - 77  2020.08

     View Summary

    There are several difficulties encountered by learners during learning such as good or bad learning content, the difficulty level of learning content, and the degree of learning proficiency. It is possible to detect these difficulties by measuring the browsing history, editing history, and biological information such as brain waves or eye-tracking information. In this paper, we measure electroencephalograph (EEG) information during programming learning. We focus on the relationship between task response time and EEG, and try to detect careless mistakes due to the lack of attention. The results show that careless mistakes during programming learning can be detected by experiments.

     View Summary

    <p>In decision feedback scheme, Forney's decision criterion (Forney's rule: FR) is optimal in the sense that the Neyman-Pearson's lemma is satisfied. Another prominent criterion called LR+Th was proposed by Hashimoto. Although LR+Th is suboptimal, its error exponent is shown to be asymptotically equivalent to that of FR by random coding arguments. In this paper, applying the technique of the DS2 bound, we derive an upper bound for the error probability of LR+Th for the ensemble of linear block codes. Then we can observe the new bound from two significant points of view. First, since the DS2 type bound can be expressed by the average weight distribution whose code length is finite, we can compare the error probability of FR with that of LR+Th for the fixed-length code. Second, the new bound elucidates the relation between the random coding exponents of block codes and those of linear block codes.</p>

  • Development of Debugging Exercise Extraction System using Learning History

    Proceeding of the 10th The International Conference on Technology for Education (T4E 2019)     244 - 245  2019.12  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    We have proposed an editing history visualization system which can confirm where and how the learner modified program. We utilized this system for actual flipped classroom and stored a large amount of learning logs. This learning log contains all the source code in the process of being modified until the program is completed. We developed a debugging exercise extraction system to automatically generate problems for debugging practice from this learning log. The debugging exercise extraction tool we developed extracted 18,680 source codes (which became practice problems) that included syntactic errors that could be used as a debugging exercise from 16 weeks of program edit history data (total number is 31,562 files). The execution time was 488 seconds. Since it can be analyzed only once every six months, we believe it is a sufficiently practical execution time.

     View Summary

    In a flipped classroom, the roles of a classroom and homework are reversed. We propose a method for increasing the effectiveness of the flipped classroom lessons based on the self-study log information. Specifically, when students study by e-learning at home, we collect and analyze their learning logs and then classify students into groups based on their study time and the degree of understanding of the material. We call our proposed method a grouped flipped classroom. We applied it to actual lessons during 16 weeks in the autumn semesters of 2017 and 2018 at the Shonan Institute of Technology. The results revealed that students’ performance improved after the grouped flipped classroom lessons, especially in the group of students who had low understanding during self-study: there was a statistically significant difference between their average scores in the tests after the self-study and after the face-to-face lessons. In addition, the average scores in the tests after the face-to-face lessons were higher for students in the grouped flipped classroom than for students in conventional style classes (lecture style class and mixed ability class).

We called this a &quot;grouped flipped classroom.&quot; We applied the grouped flipped classroom method to actual lessons in 2017 and 2018. The results revealed that the grouped flipped classroom improved students’ performance. In this paper, we examine the issues regarding the method of self-study achievement test (SSAT) when applied to actual lessons in 2018. Specifically, we compare the scores of the SSATs that were conducted with and without supervision.

    Proceedings - 2018 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, SMC 2018     2917 - 2922  2019.01

     View Summary

    In coding theory, it is important to find upper bounds for the code size given a code length and minimum distance. The Hamming bounds and Linear Programming (LP) bounds were proposed in previous works. On the other hand, Masnick et al. proposed Unequal Error Protection (UEP) codes and modified Hamming bounds as upper bounds for the code size of UEP codes. In our previous work, we defined 2-level UEP codes as a subclass of UEP codes, and derived LP bounds for 2-level UEP codes. In this paper, we define multi-level UEP codes by extending 2-level UEP codes, and derive LP bounds for multi-level UEP codes. Moreover, we show that LP bounds for UEP codes are tighter upper bound than modified Hamming bounds.

Furthermore, we propose a method to analyze the diagnostic error probability of this algorithm.

     View Summary

    We proposed a new flipped classroom method in which students are divided into three groups before each class on the basis of their e-learning self-study logs and level of understanding. The three groups are students who studied the lesson and fully understand the contents, students who studied the lesson but do not fully understand the contents, and students who did not study the lesson and so do not understand the contents. The face-to-face learning in class is done separately for each group. We called this a “grouped flipped classroom.” We applied the above grouped flipped classroom method to 16 weeks of actual lessons in the autumn semester of 2017 at our university. The results revealed that the grouped flipped classroom improved students’ performance. In particular, for the group of students who had low understanding during self-study, there was a statistically significant difference between their average scores in the tests after the self-study and after the face-to-face lesson. In addition, the average score in the test after the face-to-face lesson was higher for students in the grouped flipped classroom than for students in conventional style classes (lecture style class and mixed ability class).

  • On the DS2 bound for forney’s generalized decoding using non-binary linear block codes

    Toshihiro Niinomi, Hideki Yagi, Shigeichi Hirasawa

    IEICE Transactions on Fundamentals of Electronics, Communications and Computer Sciences   E101A ( 8 ) 1223 - 1234  2018.08

     View Summary

    Recently, Hof et al. extended the type-2 Duman and Salehi (DS2) bound to generalized decoding, which was introduced by Forney, with decision criterion FR. From this bound, they derived two significant bounds. One is the Shulman-Feder bound for generalized decoding (GD) with the binary-input output-symmetric channel. The other is an upper bound for an ensemble of linear block codes, by applying the average complete weight distribution directly to the DS2 bound for GD. For the Shulman-Feder bound for GD, the authors derived a condition under which an upper bound is minimized at an intermediate step and show that this condition yields a new bound which is tighter than Hof et al.’s bound. In this paper, we first extend this result for non-binary linear block codes used over a class of symmetric channels called the regular channel. Next, we derive a new tighter bound for an ensemble of linear block codes, which is based on the average weight distribution.

     View Summary

    Various factors affect misstep learning, such as the quality and difficulty of the learning contents and the learner&#039;s proficiency level. A system for acquiring the browsing history at the time of learning has been proposed. However, it may be insufficient to refer only to the learner&#039;s browsing time. For example, when the browsing time is short, it can not be determined whether the learning contents were too easy for the learner or whether learning was abandoned because the learning contents were too difficult. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a method of determining the learning state of learners by simultaneously analyzing learning history information and brain wave information, not using history information and brain wave information individually. And we will show that the learning state for each learner will be able to be successfully estimated by our proposed method.

  • Distance metric learning using each category centroid with nuclear norm regularization

    2017 IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence, SSCI 2017 - Proceedings   2018-   1 - 5  2018.02  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The development in information technology has resulted in more diverse data characteristics and a larger data scale. Therefore, pattern recognition techniques have received significant interest in various fields. In this study, we focus on a pattern recognition technique based on distance metric learning, which is known as the learning method in metric matrix under an arbitrary constraint from the training data. This method can acquire the distance structure, which takes account of the statistical characteristics of the training data. Most distance metric learning methods estimate the metric matrix from pairs of training data. One of the problem of the distance metric learning is that the computational complexity for prediction (i. e. distance calculation) is relatively high especially when the dimension of input data becomes large. To calculate the distance effectively, we propose the way to derive low rank metric matrix with nuclear norm regularization. When solving the optimization problem, we use the alternating direction method of multiplier and proximal gradient. To verify the effectiveness of our proposed method from the viewpoint of classification accuracy and rank reduction, simulation experiments using benchmark data sets are conducted.

     View Summary

    Construction methods for multi-valued classification (multi-class) systems using binary classifiers are discussed and evaluated by a trade-off model for system evaluation based on rate-distortion theory. Suppose the multi-class systems consisted of M(≥3) categories and N(≥M-1) binary classifiers, then they can be represented by a matrix W, where the matrix W is given by a table of M code words with length N, called a code word table. For a document classification task, the relationship between the probability of classification error Pe and the number of binary classifiers N for given M is investigated, and we show that our constructed systems satisfy desirable properties such as “Flexible”, and “Elastic”. In particular, modified Reed Muller codes perform well: they are shown to be “Effective elastic”. As a second application we consider a hand-written character recognition task, and we show that the desirable properties are also satisfied.

    Proceeding of the 16th Hawaii International Conference on Education     1249 - 1250  2018.01  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Flipped classroom, i.e., the reversal of the roles of the classroom and home study, has been attracting increased attention due to the expected improvement in learning. In the flipped classroom methodology, students study the lesson before coming to class and then obtain more advanced face-to-face learning in class. We have developed and evaluated a method to make classroom flipping more effective.In our proposed method, students are divided into three groups before each class on the basis of their e-learning self-study logs and level of understanding. The three groups are students who studied the lesson and understand the contents, students with poor understanding even though they thoroughly studied the lesson, and students who do not understand because they did not study the lesson. The face-to-face learning in class is done separately for each group. We compared our proposed method with traditional classroom flipping without grouping by testing using 70 students in a system engineering class on information theory at the Shonan Institute of Technology [1]. We found that our method better improved the level of understanding of the students with poor understanding and students who did not study the lesson. Furthermore, it also improved the level of understanding of the students who studied the lesson and understood the contents. The grouping was done manually and took much time and effort. Manual grouping is thus impractical for weekly classes. We therefore developed a tool to automatically group students so that it can be practically implemented. This tool is designed to automatically divide the students into three groups and graphically display them on the screen by giving the logs of the learning time of self-study and the achievement test score after self-study. This tool can also regroup automatically grouped students with the mouse. In the presentation, we will show outlines and effectiveness of our proposed flipped classroom method, and future plans.<br />

    In this manuscript, we investigate a collaborative filtering method to characterize consumption behavior (or evaluation) of customers (or users) and services (or items) for marketing. Assuming that each customer and service have the invisible attribute, which is called latent class, we propose a new Bayesian statistical model that consumption behavior is probabilistically arise based on a latent class combination of a customer and service. Then, we show the method to estimate parameters of a statistical model based on the variational Bayes method and the mean field approximation. Consequently, we show the effectiveness of the proposed model and the estimation method by simulation and analyzing actual data.

We investigated the use of brain waves to estimate the degree of difficulty of a learning task. The first experiment using a simple typing test confirmed a previous finding that the β-wave to α-wave ratio increases with task difficulty. Furthermore, the low-β-wave to low-α-wave ratio, where “low” means low frequency, observed under various learning conditions was found to depend on the frequencies of the waves, and the value of the ratio was shown to represent task difficulty. The second experiment in which the change in brain waves was measured using a simple electroencephalograph (EEG) as the examinees became used to the task showed that the values for the examinees who reported that the task was easy fell gradually, supporting our finding that the value of the ratio represents task difficulty. This information could be used to dynamically adjust task difficulty and thereby optimize the learning effect.

    IEICE TRANSACTIONS ON FUNDAMENTALS OF ELECTRONICS COMMUNICATIONS AND COMPUTER SCIENCES   E99A ( 12 ) 2170 - 2178  2016.12  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    In this study, we develop a new algorithm for decoding binary linear codes for symbol-pair read channels. The symbol-pair read channel was recently introduced by Cassuto and Blaum to model channels with higher write resolutions than read resolutions. The proposed decoding algorithm is based on linear programming (LP). For LDPC codes, the proposed algorithm runs in time polynomial in the codeword length. It is proved that the proposed LP decoder has the maximum-likelihood (ML) certificate property, i.e., the output of the decoder is guaranteed to be the ML codeword when it is integral. We also introduce the fractional pair distance d(fp) of the code, which is a lower bound on the minimum pair distance. It is proved that the proposed LP decoder corrects up to. inverted left perpendiculard(fp)/2inverted right perpendicular - 1 errors.

     View Summary

    The flipped classroom approach has recently begun to attract attention. In a flipped classroom, the conventional oles of classroom and homework are reversed: students study on their own using digital teaching materials or e-learning prior to class and then apply their learning in classroom activities. The authors have developed a method for improving the effectiveness of the classroom component: the students in a class are grouped on the basis of the time they spent studying (as recorded in their self-study logs) and their degree of understanding (as revealed by a self-study achievement test), and a different learning model is used for each group to improve their degree of understanding. Although they were unable to find a meaningful statistical difference in the test scores obtained in an experiment using one class of 34 students, there was a notable difference in the way questions were answered. The results of a free-description questionnaire indicate that the group learning encourages active learning.

    Construction methods of the multiple classification systems using binary classifiers are discussed and evaluated by the system evaluation model based on rate-distortion functions. Suppose the multiclass problems constructed by M (M≧3) categories and N (N≧M-1) discriminators, then they can be solved by the matrices W , where the matrices W are given by the table of M code words with length N. Applying the bench-mark test data (Newspaper articles of 2000 Yomiuri Shinbun), the relationships between the classification error Pe and the number of the binary discriminator N for a given M are investigated, and the systems have desirable properties such as "Flexible", "Elastic", and so on.

    PROCEEDINGS OF 2016 INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON INFORMATION THEORY AND ITS APPLICATIONS (ISITA 2016)     270 - 274  2016  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    A new theory known as compressed sensing considers the problem to acquire and recover a sparse signal from its linear measurements. In this paper, we propose a new support recovery algorithm from noisy measurements based on the linear programming (LP). LP is widely used to estimate sparse signals, however, we focus on the problem to recover the support of sparse signals rather than the problem to estimate sparse signals themselves. First, we derive an integer linear programming (ILP) formulation for the support recovery problem. Then we obtain the LP based support recovery algorithm by relaxing the ILP. The proposed LP based recovery algorithm has an attracting property that the output of the algorithm is guaranteed to be the maximum a posteiori (MAP) estimate when it is integer valued. We compare the performance of the proposed algorithm to a state-of-the-art algorithm named sparse matching pursuit (SMP) via numerical simulations.

  • A Bayes Prediction Algorithm for Model Class Composed of Several Subclasses

    PROCEEDINGS OF 2016 INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON INFORMATION THEORY AND ITS APPLICATIONS (ISITA 2016)     121 - 125  2016  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The Bayes coding algorithm for the tree model class is an effective method calculating the prediction probability of appearing symbol at the next time point from the past data under the Bayes criterion. The Bayes optimal prediction is given by the mixture of all models in a given model class, and the Bayes coding algorithm gives an efficient way to calculate a coding probability. This algorithm is applicable to a general prediction problem with Time-series data. Although the Bayes coding algorithm assumes a class of Markov sources, other model classes can be useful for a real prediction problem in practice. For example, the data at the next time point may not always depend on the strict sequence of the past data. It can be possible to construct an efficient Bayes prediction algorithm for a model class on which the probability of the next symbol is conditioned by the cumulative number in a past data sequence. However, there is usually no way to previously know which model class is the best for the observed data sequence. This paper considers the method to mix the prediction probabilities given by the mixtures on different model subclass. If each calculation of the mixtures on subclasses is efficient, the proposed method is also sufficiently efficient. Based on the asymptotic analysis, we evaluate the prediction performance of the proposed method.

     View Summary

    The electronic commerce site (EC site) has become an important marketing channel where consumers can purchase many kinds of products
    their access logs, including purchase records and browsing histories, are saved in the EC sites' databases. These log data can be utilized for the purpose of web marketing. The customers who purchase many product items are good customers, whereas the other customers, who do not purchase many items, must not be good customers even if they browse many items. If the attributes of good customers and those of other customers are clarified, such information is valuable as input for making a new marketing strategy. Regarding the product items, the characteristics of good items that are bought by many users are valuable information. It is necessary to construct a method to efficiently analyze such characteristics. This paper proposes a new latent class model to analyze both purchasing and browsing histories to make latent item and user clusters. By applying the proposal, an example of data analysis on an EC site is demonstrated. Through the clusters obtained by the proposed latent class model and the classification rule by the decision tree model, new findings are extracted from the data of purchasing and browsing histories.

     View Summary

    In this paper, we focus on pattern recognition based on the vector space model. As one of the methods, distance metric learning is known for the learning metric matrix under the arbitrary constraint. Generally, it uses iterative optimization procedure in order to gain suitable distance structure by considering the statistical characteristics of training data. Most of the distance metric learning methods estimate suitable metric matrix from all pairs of training data. However, the computational cost is considerable if the number of training data increases in this setting. To avoid this problem, we propose the way of learning distance metric by using the each category centroid. To verify the effectiveness of proposed method, we conduct the simulation experiment by using benchmark data.

Specifically, when students study by e-learning at home, we collect learning logs. We classify students into groups on the basis of their study time and degree of understanding by analyzing the learning logs. We can improve the degree of understanding of the students by conducting a discussion and/or giving a presentation to each group in the classroom.

    In this paper, we focus on pattern recognition based on the vector space model with the high dimensional and sparse data. One of the pattern recognition methods is metric learning which learns a metric matrix by using the iterative optimization procedure. However most of the metric learning methods tend to cause overfitting and increasing computational time for high dimensional and sparse settings. To avoid these problems, we propose the method of l(1) regularized metric learning by using the algorithm of alternating direction method of multiplier (ADMM) in the supervised setting. The effectiveness of our proposed method is clarified by classification experiments by using the Japanese newspaper article and UCI machine learning repository. And we show proposed method is the special case of the statistical sparse covariance selection.

     View Summary

    This paper proposes a new latent class model to represent user segments in a marketing model of electric commerce sites. The aspect model proposed by T. Hofmann is well known and is also called the probabilistic latent semantic indexing (PLSI) model. Although the aspect model is one of effective models for information retrieval, it is difficult to interpret the meaning of the probability of latent class in terms of marketing models. It is desirable that the probability of latent class means the size of customer segment for the purpose of marketing research. Through this formulation, the simulation analysis to dissect the several situations become possible by using the estimated model. The impact of the strategy that we contact to the specific customer segment and make effort to increase the number of customers belonging to this segment can be predicted by using the model demonstrating the size of customer segment. This paper proposes a new model whose probability parameter of latent variable means the rate of users with the same preference in market. By applying the proposed model to the data of an internet portal site for job hunting, the effectiveness of our proposal is verified.

In this paper, we introduce the maximum a posteriori probability algorithm(MAPDA) for the HS system in the probabilistic fault model. Analyzing the MAPDA, we show that the SAM is closer to the MAPDA as the fault probability becomes smaller. Finally, we show the robustness of the SAM in the HS system.

    2014 IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEMS, MAN AND CYBERNETICS (SMC)     1618 - 1623  2014  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    In this paper, we consider a completion problem of multiple related matrices. Matrix completion problem is the problem to estimate unobserved elements of the matrix from observed elements. It has many applications such as collaborative filtering, computer vision, biology, and so on. In cases where we can obtain some related matrices, we can expect that their simultaneous completion has better performance than completing each matrix independently. Collective matrix factorization is a powerful approach to jointly factorize multiple matrices. However, existing completion algorithms for the collective matrix factorization have some drawbacks. One is that most existing algorithms are based on non-convex formulations of the problem. Another is that only a few existing algorithms consider the strength of the relation among matrices and it results in worse performance when some matrices are actually not related. In this paper, we formulate the multiple matrix completion problem as the convex optimization problem. Moreover, it considers the strength of the relation among matrices. We also develop an optimization algorithm which solves the proposed problem efficiently based on the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). We verify the effectiveness of our approach through numerical experiments on both synthetic data and real data set: MovieLens.

    2014 IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEMS, MAN AND CYBERNETICS (SMC)     3241 - 3246  2014  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    By introducing the technology of the virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) to e-learning systems, the identical learning environment can be provided to the learner at any time, and at any place, and also even if the learner stops learning or working, he can restart it by different terminals including different operating systems. On the other hand, the quality of screen images on the desktop would be affected by the quality of service (QoS) of the network, since the screen images are transferred to the client from the server by their transfer protocol. In this paper, we discuss the influence of the QoS upon the learning styles caused by the usability over the VDI. By constructing the experimental network using network emulators, we evaluate and discuss the influence of the QoS such as a round trip delay time (DT) and a bandwidth (BW) upon learning style measured by the quality of experience (QoE). As a result, we clarify the relationships between the QoS of the network and the QoE of the e-learning styles.

     View Summary

    In this paper, we develop an iterative multiuser joint decoding of code-division multiple-access (CDMA) signals based on a distributed optimization algorithm. For the joint decoding problem, decoding algorithm based on the turbo principle is widely used. The algorithm consists of soft-input soft-output (SISO) channel decoder and SISO multiuser detector and it can be derived as an application of the sum-product algorithm. On the other hand, in the research area of error correcting codes, the decoding algorithm based on convex optimization has been attracting a great deal of attention. Decoding algorithm based on linear programming (LP) has decoding error rate which is comparable with sum-product algorithm with stronger theoretical guarantees. We formulate the joint decoding problem of CDMA signals as an convex optimization problem and we present a relax form of the problem. Moreover, we propose a distributed algorithm which efficiently solves the relaxed optimization problem. The proposed algorithm is based on alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). We also see the performance of the proposed decoder through numerical simulations. © 2013 IEEE.

     View Summary

    The document classification problem has been investigated by various techniques, such as a vector space model, a support vector machine, a random forest, and so on. On the other hand, J.Ziv et al. have proposed a document classification method using Ziv-Lempel algorithm to compress the data. Furthermore, the Context-Tree Weighting (CTW) algorithm has been proposed as an outstanding data compression, and for the document classification using the CTW algorithm experimental results have been reported. In this paper, we assume that each document with same category arises from Markov model with same parameters for the document classification. Then we propose an analysis method to estimate a classification error probability for the document with the finite length.

    IEICE TRANSACTIONS ON FUNDAMENTALS OF ELECTRONICS COMMUNICATIONS AND COMPUTER SCIENCES   E94A ( 6 ) 1230 - 1237  2011.06  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    In this paper, we develop linear-programming (LP) decoding for multiple-access channels with binary linear codes. For single-user channels, LP decoding has attracted much attention in recent years as a good approximation to maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding. We demonstrate how the ML decoding problem for multiple-access channels with binary linear codes can be formulated as an LP problem. This is not straightforward, because the objective function of the problem is generally a non-linear function of the codeword symbols. We introduce auxiliary variables such that the objective function is a linear function of these variables. The ML decoding problem then reduces to the LP problem. As in the case for single-user channels, we formulate the relaxed LP problem to reduce the complexity for practical implementation, and as a result propose a decoder that has the desirable property known as the ML certificate property (i.e., if the decoder outputs an integer solution, the solution is guaranteed to be the ML codeword). Although the computational complexity of the proposed algorithm is exponential in the number of users, we can reduce this complexity for Gaussian multiple-access channels. Furthermore, we compare the performance of the proposed decoder with a decoder based on the sum-product algorithm.

    Proceedings of the 2011 7th International Conference on Information Assurance and Security, IAS 2011     234 - 239  2011  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    In this paper, a new attack model in which the number of colluders are distributed according to a certain probability distribution is introduced. Two classes of collusion attacks which include well-known collusion attacks in the context of multimedia fingerprinting are provided. For these two attack classes, achievable rates for the unknown size of the actual colluders are derived. Based on the derived achievable rates, achieve rates for some particular attacks are investigated. For the AND attack, the bound derived in this paper coincides with the previous known bound, although the attack model in this paper does not assume that the decoder knows the actual number of colluders. Moreover, for the averaging attack, it is clarified that derived achievable rate is larger than previously known bound with random linear codes. © 2011 IEEE.

  • Disk Allocation Methods for Cartesian Product Files Using Unequal Error Protection Codes

    2011 IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEMS, MAN, AND CYBERNETICS (SMC)     2437 - 2442  2011  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Allocation methods for Cartesian product files on multiple disks using linear error-correcting codes are discussed. In this paper, we propose an allocation method using unequal error protection (UEP) codes. Codewords of an UEP code have some special bits which are protected against a greater number of errors than the other bits. We firstly assume a model that "*", which means "don't care", appears with different probability in each attribute of queries. In this case, the average access time can be calculated using the split distance distribution. Finally, we illustrate the average access time of the methods using UEP codes.

     View Summary

    We discuss disk allocation methods for Cartesian product files by introducing error correcting codes, and have clarified the performance of the methods by system evaluation models developed by using rate distortion theory. Let us assume q(n) Cartesian product files with n attributes and q actual values in each attribute, and store q(n) files into G(&lt;= q(n)) disks. For a partial match access request, we represent new disk allocation methods which able to access the disks in parallel as much as possible, where the partial match access request includes an indefinite case (don't care: "*") in some attributes and the * requires to access the files with corresponding to the attribute for the all actual attribute values. In this paper, we propose to apply unequal error protection codes to the case where the probabilities of occurrence of the * in the attributes for a partial match access request are not the same. We show the disk allocation methods have desirable properties as n becomes large.

    The smart phone penetration rate has increased recently. There are also many commercial terminals for receiving network services. When a service is received by a smart phone or PC, user authentication is very important for ensuring secure and safe use. Currently, authentication is required each time a user changes the terminal on which a service is received. We propose a system that uses a smart phone as a storage device for authentication information, such as ID, password, and cookie information. With this system, the smart phone and various terminals cooperate through short distance wireless telecommunications technologies such as Bluetooth. We evaluate performance of our proposed system. As a result, the user can input authentication information to and receive a service on a terminal by simply swiping the smart phone over the terminal.

  • An accurate density evolution analysis for a finite-state Markov channel

     View Summary

    In this paper, we consider density evolution analyses of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes for a finite-state Markov channel (FSMC). Since operations in the subgraph corresponding to the estimation process do not satisfy symmetry conditions, all densities involved in each value of the channel state should be kept track. In [6], to avoid the complexity to compute plural pdfs, only one pdf involved in the channel state is computed exploiting marginalization operations. We suppose that this approach is not accurate enough to track the estimation process of the joint estimation-decoding. In this paper, we present a procedure of the density evolution analysis of LDPC codes for an FSMC of which all densities involved in each value of the channel state are kept track. © 2010 Taylor &amp

    The universal lossless source coding problem is one of the most important problem in communication systems. The aim of source coding is to compress data to reduce costs in digital communication. Traditional universal source coding schemes are usually designed for stationary sources. Recently, some universal codes for nonstationary sources have been proposed. Independent piecewise identically distributed (i.p.i.d.) sources are simple nonstationary sources that parameter changes discontinuously. In this paper, we assume new i.p.i.d. sources class, and we prove that Bayes codes minimize the mean redundancy when parameter transition pattern is known and parameter is unknown. © 2010 Taylor &amp

     View Summary

    Tail biting trellis codes and block concatenated codes are discussed from random coding arguments. Error exponents and decoding complexity for generalized tail biting (GTB) random trellis codes, and their relationships are derived, where the GTB trellis codes consist of full tail biting (FTB) trellis codes, partial tail biting (PTB) trellis codes and direct truncated (DT) trellis codes. We show that the PTB trellis codes at all rates except for low rates are superior to all of the GTB trellis codes, in a sense that they have smaller upper bound on the probability of decoding error for given decoding complexity. We then propose the generalized version of the block concatenated codes constructed by the GTB trellis inner codes, and derive error exponents and the decoding complexity for the proposed code. The results obtained show that the DT trellis inner codes are effective among the GTB trellis inner codes for constructing the generalized version of the concatenated codes to keep the same decoding complexity as the original concatenated codes. We also show that larger error exponents are obtained by the generalized version of concatenated codes, if the decoding complexity is allowed to be larger than that of the original concatenated code, although it is still in polynomial order. © 2010 Taylor &amp

    In our previous paper, we proposed a new classification technique called the Frequency Ratio Accumulation Method (FRAM). This is a simple technique that adds up the ratios of term frequencies among categories, and it is able to use index terms without limit. Then, we adopted the Character N-gram to form index terms, thereby improving FRAM. However, FRAM did not have a satisfactory mathematical basis. Therefore, we present here a new mathematical model based on a "Vector Space Model" and consider its implications. The proposed method is evaluated by performing several experiments. In these experiments, we classify newspaper articles from the English Reuters-21578 data set, a Japanese CD-Mainichi 2002 data set using the proposed method. The Reuters-2I578 data set is a benchmark data set for automatic text categorization. It is shown that FRAM has good classification accuracy. Specifically, the micro-averaged F-measure of the proposed method is 92.2% for English. The proposed method can perform classification utilizing a single program and it is language-independent.

    The joint source-channel coding problem is considered. The joint source-channel coding theorem reveals the existence of a code for the pair of the source and the channel under the condition that the error probability is smaller than or equal to epsilon asymptotically. The separation theorem guarantees that we can achieve the optimal coding performance by using the two-stage coding. In the case that epsilon = 0, Han showed the joint source-channel coding theorem and the separation theorem for general sources and channels. Furthermore the epsilon-coding theorem (0 &lt;= epsilon &lt; 1) in the similar setting was studied. However, the separation theorem was not revealed since it is difficult in general. So we consider the separation theorem in this setting.

We show by simulation results that the performance of our decoding algorithms is enhanced compared with that of the BP decoding algorithm with little increase of the decoding complexity.

     View Summary

    In this paper, we consider the automatic text classification as a series of information processing, and propose a new classification technique, namely, "Frequency Ratio Accumulation Method (FRAM)". This is a simple technique that calculates the sum of ratios of term frequency in each category. However, it has a desirable property that feature terms can be used without their extraction procedure. Then, we use "character N-gram" and "word N-gram" as feature terms by using this property of our classification technique. Next, we evaluate our technique by some experiments. In our experiments, we classify the newspaper articles of Japanese "CD-Mainichi 2002" and English "Reuters-21578" using the Naive Bayes (baseline method) and the proposed method. As the result, we show that the classification accuracy of the proposed method improves greatly compared with the baseline. That is, it is 89.6% for Mainichi, 87.8% for Reuters. Thus, the proposed method has a very high performance. Though the proposed method is a simple technique, it has a new viewpoint, a high potential and is language-independent, so it can be expected the development in the future.

  • Reducing the Space Complexity of a Bayes Coding Algorithm using an Expanded Context Tree

     View Summary

    The context tree models are widely used in a lot of research fields. Patricia[7] like trees are applied to the context trees that are expanded according to the increase of the length of a source sequence in the previous researches of non-predictive source coding and model selection. The space complexity of the Patricia like context trees are O(t) where t is the length of a source sequence. On the other hand, the predictive Bayes source coding algorithm cannot use a Patricia like context tree, because it is difficult to hold and update the posterior probability parameters on a Patricia like tree. So the space complexity of the expanded trees in the predictive Bayes coding algorithm is O(t(2)). In this paper, we propose an efficient predictive Bayes coding algorithm using a new representation of the posterior probability parameters and the compact context tree holding the parameters whose space complexity is O(t).

     View Summary

    In this paper, we propose a method for enhancing performance of a sequential version of the belief-propagation (BP) decoding algorithm, the group shuffled BP decoding algorithm for low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. An improved BP decoding algorithm, called the shuffled BP decoding algorithm, decodes each symbol node in serial at each iteration. To reduce the decoding delay of the shuffled BP decoding algorithm, the group shuffled BP decoding algorithm divides all symbol nodes into several groups. In contrast to the original group shuffled BP, which automatically generates groups according to symbol positions, in this paper we propose a method for grouping symbol nodes which generates groups according to the structure of a Tanner graph of the codes. The proposed method can accelerate the convergence of the group shuffled BP algorithm and obtain a lower error rate in a small number of iterations. We show by simulation results that the decoding performance of the proposed method is improved compared with those of the shuffled BP decoding algorithm and the group shuffled BP decoding algorithm.

    A new ensemble of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes for correcting a solid burst erasure is proposed. This ensemble is an instance of a combined matrix ensemble obtained by concatenating some LDPC matrices. We derive a new bound on the critical minimum span ratio of stopping sets for the proposed code ensemble by modifying the bound for ordinary code ensemble. By calculating this bound, we show that the critical minimum span ratio of stopping sets for the proposed code ensemble is better than that of the conventional one with keeping the same critical exponent of stopping ratio for both ensemble. Furthermore from experimental results, we show that the average minimum span of stopping sets for a solid burst erasure of the proposed codes is larger than that of the conventional ones.

However, it is difficult to investigate manually the plagiarism document because of an increase of a digital document. This study proposes the method for discovering the document with the doubt of the plagiarism automatically from the targeted document. This method uses the plagiarism sentence judgment algorithm based on Word Sequence Kernel (WSK) to improve the part that was not able to be detected by the method of using a Smith-Waterman algorithm. The evaluation experiment using the document plagiarized based on the newspaper article or the Web page shows the effectiveness of the proposed method.

    Optimum detection for the multiuser code-division multiple-access channel is prohibitively complex. This paper considers new iterative multiuser detection algorithm based on the belief propagation algorithm. Previously, the idea to apply the belief propagation algorithm to multiuser detection problem was suggested , however, it was believed that to apply the belief propagation algorithm to the detection problem is impossible because it requires an exponentially large amount of computation. It was the only fact that the parallel interference canceller is derived as an approximation of the belief propagation. In this paper, we show that the belief propagation algorithm can be applied to the detection problem by converting the factor graph structure. Performance of the detector based on the belief propagation algorithm is better than that of the parallel interference canceller. © 2008 IEEE.

     View Summary

    This paper introduces two channel models of correlated parallel channels. Then we analyze structure of error correcting codes over these correlated parallel channels. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for these codes and some code construction is presented. We also show some upper and lower bounds on the coding rate of the error correcting codes for correlated parallel channels. The introduced channel models are related to burst error channels and the codes analyzed in this paper can be used as asymmetric interleaving codes for burst error channels.

  • Random Coding Bounds for Correlated Parallel Channels with Unidirectionally Cooperating Decoders

    2008 INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON INFORMATION THEORY AND ITS APPLICATIONS, VOLS 1-3     121 - +  2008  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    We propose a maximum likelihood decoding scheme with decoder's partial cooperation, in which only unidirectional information passing is possible, for correlated parallel channels. We derive a bound on the probability of decoding error for the proposed scheme with a coset code ensemble by using randomized technique. From the property of the derived error exponent, we show a condition that the scheme achieves the capacity region. We compare the proposed scheme with other possible scheme with decoder's unidirectional cooperation.

  • An Efficient Design of Irregular LDPC Codes using Beta Approximation for the Gilbert-Elliott Channel

    2008 INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON INFORMATION THEORY AND ITS APPLICATIONS, VOLS 1-3     1543 - +  2008  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    In this paper, we investigate the design of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes for the Gilbert-Elliott (GE) channel. Recently, Eckford et al. proposed a design method of irregular LDPC codes using approximate density-evolution (DE) for Markov channels [7]. In the design method proposed by Eckford et al., the probability density function (PDF) of the messages from variable nodes to check nodes is approximated by the Gaussian distribution. In this paper, we first show the method to obtain the accurate PDF of the messages from variable nodes to check nodes by utilizing two DE steps for the Gaussian distribution. We call this method the iterative density approximation (IDA). Using this method, we can design the good LDPC codes. Next, we propose an efficient design method of irregular LDPC codes by using Beta approximation to the PDF of the channel state probability for the GE channel. Consequently, we show that the complexity to calculate PDFs of the channel messages is considerably reduced though the rates of LDPC codes obtained by using the proposed approximation are almost the same as that of the IDA method.

  • A note on the epsilon-overflow probability of lossless codes

     View Summary

    In this letter, we generalize the achievability of variable-length coding from two viewpoints. One is the definition of an overflow probability, and the other is the definition of an achievability. We define the overflow probability as the probability of codeword length, not per symbol, is larger than eta(n) and we introduce the epsilon-achievability of variable-length codes that implies an existence of a code for the source under the condition that the overflow probability is smaller than or equal to epsilon. Then we show that the epsilon-achievability of variable-length codes is essentially equivalent to the epsilon-achievability of fixed-length codes for general sources. Moreover by using above results, we show the condition of epsilon-achievability for some restricted sources given epsilon.

  • Reliability-Based Hybrid ARQ Scheme with Encoded Parity Bit Retransmissions and Message Passing Decoding

    IEICE Transactions on Fundamentals of Electronics, Communications and Computer Sciences   E90-A ( 9 ) 1736 - 1744  2007.09  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Reliability-based hybrid ARQ (RB-HARQ) is a kind of incremental-redundancy ARQ recently introduced. In the RB-HARQ, the receiver returns both NAK signal and set of unreliable bit indices if the received sequence is not accepted. Since each unreliable bit index is determined by the bitwise posterior probability, better approximation of that probability becomes crucial as the number of retransmissions increases. Assuming the systematic code for the initial transmission, the proposed RB-HARQ scheme has the following two features: (a) the sender retransmits newly encoded and interleaved parity bits corresponding to the unreliable information bits; (b) the retransmitted parity bits as well as the initial received sequence are put all together to perform the message passing decoding i.e. the suboptimal MAP decoding. Finally, simulation results are shown to evaluate the above two features.

  • A class of prior distributions on context tree models and an efficient algorithm of the Bayes codes assuming it

    The CTW(Context Tree Weighting) algorithm is an efficient universal coding algorithm on context tree models. The CTW algorithm has been interpreted as the non-predictive Bayes coding algorithm assuming a special prior distribution over context tree models. An efficient recursive calculation method using a gathering context tree in the CTWalgorithm is well known. Although there exist efficient recursive algorithms for the Bayes codes assuming a special class of prior distributions, the basic property ofthe prior distribution class has been scarcely investigated. In this paper we show the exact definition of a prior distribution class on context tree models that has the similar property to the class of conjugate priors. We show the posterior distribution is also included in the same distribution class as the prior distribution class. So we can also construct an efficient algorithm ofpredictive Bayes codes on context tree models by using the prior distribution class. Lastly the asymptotic mean code length of the codes IS investigated. ©C2007 IEEE.

  • The construction of periodically time-variant convolutional codes using binary linear block codes

    In 1996 Rosenthal and York proposed (time-invariant) BCH convolutional codes [4] in which the parity check matrix of a BCH code is used in the construction of the convolutional code. The lower bound on the minimum free distance of a BCH convolutional code is guaranteed by the BCH limit. In this paper we propose a periodically time-variant convolutional code that can be constructed not only using the BCH parity check matrix but using the check matrix of any binary linear block code and show that the lower bound on the minimum free distance is guaranteed by the minimum free distance of the binary linear block code. In addition, taking 12 binary linear block codes as examples, we perform comparisons of the proposed codes with BCH convolutional codes using three evaluation criteria (minimum free distance, number of delay elements, coding rate) and show that there exist proposed codes that are superior to existing ones.

    The likelihood ratio (LR) decision criterion [3] employed by Yamamoto and Itoh's decision feedback (ARQ) scheme [1] is known to be highly compatible with the Viterbi algorithm (VA) due to the fact that it requires a small amount of computational effort. In addition, Forney has derived an extension of the coding theorem to the variable size list decoder for maximum likelihood decoding of block codes. In this paper we propose an algorithm for extending LR-based variable size list decoding for decoding convolutional codes using the Viterbi algorithm; assuming a discrete memoryless channel we also derive a lower bound on the decoder's error exponents.

  • Word segmentation for the sequences emitted from a word-valued source

     View Summary

    Word segmentation is the most fundamental and important process for Japanese or Chinese language processing. Because there is no separation between words in these languages, we firstly have to separate the sequence into words. On this problem, it is known that the approach by probabilistic language model is highly efficient, and this is shown practically. On the other hand, recently, a word-valued source has been proposed as a new class of source model for the source coding problem. This model can be supposed to reflect more of the probability structure of natural languages. We may regard Japanese sentence or Chinese sentence as the sequence emitting from a non-prefix-free WVS. In this paper as the first phase of applying WVS to natural language processing, we formulate a word segmentation problem for the sequence from non-prefix-free WVS. Then, we examine the performance of word segmentation for the models by numerical computations.

     View Summary

    The best-known algorithm for the decoding of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes is the sum-product algorithm (SPA). The SPA is a message-passing algorithm on a graphical model called a factor graph (FG). The performance of the SPA depends on a structure of loops in a FG. Pearl showed that loops in a graphical model could be erased by the clustering method. This method clusters plural nodes into a single node. In this paper, we show several examples about a decoding on a FG to which the clustering method is applied. And we propose an efficient decoding algorithm for it.

In this paper, we formulate the Bayes optimal solutions for estimation of parameters and selection of the dimension of the hidden latent class in these models and analyze it's asymptotic properties.

     View Summary

    In this paper, we discuss the difference in code lengths between the code based on the minimum description length (MDL) principle (the MDL code) and the Bayes code under the condition that the same prior distribution is assumed for both codes. It is proved that the code length of the Bayes code is smaller than that of the MDL code by o(1) or O(1) for the discrete model class and by O(1) for the parametric model class. Because we can assume the same prior for the Bayes code as for the code based on the MDL principle, it is possible to construct the Bayes code with equal or smaller code length than the code based on the MDL principle. From the viewpoint of mean code length per symbol unit (compression rate), the Bayes code is asymptotically indistinguishable from the MDL two-stage codes.

     View Summary

    Ill many practical transmission systems, transmission error rate of the channel is time-varying. In previous works for controlling the rime-varying channel, the state of the channel is estimated and is uniquely determined. Then, the optimum value is chosen as a control parameter for the determined state. However, there is a discrepancy between the actual channel state and estimated state. The optimum control parameter determined for the estimated state does not necessarily provide the best performance presented by some object function in error control such as throughput efficiency. In th is study, the expected value of throughput is calculated by using the posterior probability for each state and an algorithm in which the control parameter is selected to maximize the expected performance is proposed. From the viewpoint of the statistical decision theory, it is shown that this selection is the optimum in maximizing the throughput under the Bayes criterion. Using simulation, the proposed method is evaluated and its effectiveness is shown. (C) 2001 Scripta Technica

    For the two-dimensional BCH code, several decoding methods exceeding the BCH bound and correcting the errors that cannot be corrected by the conventional Limited distance decoding method have been proposed. This article proposes an algorithm that allows reduction of the computational volume in a decoding method exceeding the BCH bound by solving the equation for unknown variables beforehand and limiting the range of the error location. Further, this decoding method exceeding the BCH bound is applied to soft-decision decoding methods that use limited-distance decoding multiple times, and especially to Chase decoding, the decoding of Tanaka et al., and that of Kaneko et al. It is shown that the amount of computation and the decoding error rate are improved. (C) 1999 Scripta Technica.

     View Summary

    This paper presents a new architecture for multiple-input signature analyzers. The proposed signature analyzer with Hδ inputs is designed by parallelizing a GLFSR(δ, m), where δ is the number of input signals and m is the number of stages in the feedback shift register. The GLFSR, developed by Pradhan and Gupta, is a general framework for representing LFSR-based signature analyzers. The parallelization technique described in this paper can be applied to any kind of GLFSR signature analyzer, e.g., SISRs, MISRs, multiple MISRs and MLFSRs. It is shown that a proposed signature analyzer with Hδ inputs requires less complex hardware than either single GLFSR(Hδ, m)s or parallel construction H original GLFSR(δ, m)s. It is also shown that the proposed parallelization technique can be applied to a test pattern generator in BIST, since the GLFSR is also used to generate patterns for a CUT. The proposed technique would be practical for testing CUTs with a large number of input and output sequences, since the test circuit occupies a smaller area on the LSI chip than conventional test circuits.

    IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory - Proceedings     376  1994  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    We show that the received sequences, which are rejected and not discarded on ARQ schemes, make the next decision with repeat request powerful by a random coding arguments. We first give the ordinary ARQ of the basic algorithm with some criterion, and define the ARQ with cumulating the rejected sequences, which naturally extended from the ordinary one. Then we study the error exponent of decoding the second received sequences under the condition that the first is rejected. We assume the block coded ARQ with noiseless feedback. © 1994 IEEE.

  • A Bayes coding algorithm using context tree

    Toshiyasu Matsushima, Shigeichi Hirasawa

    IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory - Proceedings     386  1994  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The context tree weighting (CTW) algorithm [Willems et al., 1993] has high compressibility for universal coding with respect to FSMX sources. The present authors propose an algorithm by reinterpreting the CTW algorithm from the viewpoint of Bayes coding. This algorithm can be applied to a wide class of prior distribution for finite alphabet FSMX sources. The algorithm is regarded as both a generalized version of the CTW procedure and a practical algorithm using a context tree of the adaptive Bayes coding which has been studied in Mataushima et al. (1991). Moreover, the proposed algorithm is free from underflow which frequently occurs in the CTW procedure. © 1994 IEEE.

     View Summary

    Most information retrieval systems are denoted as a set of Horn clauses representing the average user's concept in order to gain solutions which satisfy some predicates about conditions demanded by the user. In this paper, the system prepares the default rules considering general user's requirements in advance. Each user inputs rules representing individual demands sequentially. Both of the rules are matched with each other, and the solution which has the highest value of the certainty factor is derived. The strategy on how we can gain the solution with the minimum number of the questions and answers is investigated based on the certainty factor computed by the minimax rule. The game theoretical framework is established and the optimal question strategy is shown in a minimax criterion. Our scheme has a large merit of applying not only to individual systems but also to general information retrieval systems.

     View Summary

    By modifying product codes, a new coding scheme and its decoding method are proposed. Compared to a product code A, the first stage code A1of the new code AMis constructed in the same way as that of the code A except that it has at least one subcode, while the second stage codes A(2j] of the code AMare a set of codes with the same length and different rates. The new coding scheme has a sMuller upper bound on the probability of decoding error than the original product coding scheme for any given nonzero rate less than the capacity of a binary symmetric channel. An example is given for which the rate is increased compared with the original product code, at a fixed probability of decoding error, for a relatively short code length. © 1984 IEEE

    For its good error correcting ability, Turbo code and Turbo decoding algorithm, which was proposed in the research area of the error correcting codes, have gotten a lot of attention recently as important technology of 21st century's reliable communication and accumulation technique. It have been known that the iterative decoding algorithms which includes Turbo decoding algorithm can be regarded as applications of Belief Propagation algorithm, which was proposed in the research area of the knowledge information processing as uncertain reasoning algorithm. It can be interpreted that the turbo decoding algorithm calculates the approximation of posterior probability effectively.
    It was obtained that the Extended Junction Graph (EJG) and the parallel iterative algorithm for calculating posterior probability, which are results achieved in "The Analysis and Design of the Reliable Iterative Decoding Algorithm based on Uncertain Reasoning" which is supported by Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research in 2000-2002, can deal with general probabilistic models compared to existing belief propagation algorithm and retain the higher performance even when the graph has loops (almost of the practical codes have loops).
    In this research, we have done following,
    (1)We applied the EJG and the parallel iterative algorithm to the LDPC codes which have some small loops, we sought further efficiency and analyzed the performance.
    (2)We applied the algorithm to the channel models which have feedback channel such as ARQ Scheme and analyzed the performance.
    (3)Moreover, we applied the algorithm to the decryption of stream cipher and analyzed the performance.

    1. We analyzed and generalized our original reasoning algorithm, which is already proposed, based on both Bayesian Network and Graphical Model. Then, we designed a new algorithm for calculating posterior probability on probability models including classes of efficient codes. We also inspected the algorithm in terms of both theoretical and simulating points and then got good results.
    2. Moreover, we inspected both convergence and accuracy of the algorithm in terms of the differential geometry, machine learning and statistics and then we gave theoretical understandings onto it.
    3. We defined the generalized posterior probability distribution and made mathematical expression of a problem of the uncertain reasoning given the observed probability distribution. It turned out that the result of our reasoning method has a lot of mathematical meanings that is very important. We improved our algorithm by reducing both the calculation and memory occupation, and by paralyzing its procedures.
    4. We applied our algorithm on the Extended Junction Graph, which is also our generalized original graph, then proposed the efficient parallel belief propagation algorithm. As a typical application, we applied our algorithm, which is already mentioned in 2., for decoding on Extended Junction Graph constructed by LDPC codes. We examined its natures in terms of both theoretical and experimental aspects.
    5. We used our Extended Junction Graph for both convolution codes and tail biting codes, then we applied our algorithm mentioned in 2. for decoding both codes. We examined its results from the both mathematical and computational points of view.
    6. We applied our generalized algorithm for calculating posterior probability, which is already proposed year 2001, to a special model class that has guarantee of convergence. The whole procedure guarantees mathematical meanings as well as both efficient calculation and memory occupation.
    7. We developed out results in year 2001 on decoding algorithm, then inspected from point of theoretical and experimental view.

    In these a few years, there are a lot of workstations and termiinals connected into single universal network. These workstations will proceed a lot of variety documents such as very personal information, published data, electric magazine, private mail and so on. Establishing a public common database connected to open network will be important subject to realize a high efficient system shared by mass of customers at reasonable cost. A safe-deposit box is very convenient facility, because many kind of assets and important docments of indivisuals are stored with hight security at reasonable cost. The same function of this system will bave to be exist in future information society in the single universal network system. We have proposed secure document image management system which manages private information at resonable cost with high security.
    To realize real secure system in such open facility, there are two main problem. They are leakage and illegal occupation. The leakage means the content of document can be thrown out by somebody who is not the autliorized person. The illegal occupation means an injured function of database management occurred by mass of prescribed message that have been kept and are increasing in the database storage.
    To solve above problems, we have studied following items.
    1. Concreat system configuration and basic functions
    2. Network access protocol in deposit and takeout procedure to keep high security
    3. Database management protocol for secure document management
    4. Customer identificaion scheme using feature of physical characteristics such as sensed data of fingerprint
    5. Secure key sharing schemes using smartcard with no pre-communication
    6. Scramble algorithm for document image using Soace Filling Curve
    And we have constructed real simulation system using G4 FAX, ISDN network, workstations and smart card system in order to evaluate the protocols of proposed system at the point of security atid efficiency.

  • A Study on the Optimization of the ECOC Method for Multi-label Classification Problems

      14 ( 3 ) 1 - 10  2021.08

     View Summary

    One of the methods for constructing a multi-valued classifier that uses a combination of given two-valued classifiers is the Error-Correcting Output Coding (ECOC) method, which is based on error-correcting codes introducing a code theory framework. Although it is experimentally known that this method performs well on real data, the theoretical optimality of the classification accuracy for the ECOC method has not been clarified. In this study, we show sufficient conditions for the ECOC method to be an optimal multi-valued classification method under the assumption that binary classifiers achieve maximum posterior probability classification. As a result, we can show that n-vs-all and Exhaustive signs are the best multi-valued classification method under the same assumptions. This suggests one of the directions of the optimization debate for various ECOC methods.

  • On relations between DS2 bound and Sulman-Feder bound for Forney's Generalized Decoding

    NIINOMI Toshihiro, YAGI Hideki, HIRASAWA Shigeichi

    IEICE technical report. Information theory   114 ( 224 ) 13 - 18  2014.09

     View Summary

    For maximum likelihood decoding, Shamai and Sason have pointed out that various upper bounds which were known are a special case of the DS2 bound. Then, recently, Hof et al. extended this discussion to generalized decoding (GD), which was introduced by Forney with decision criterion FR. Hof et al. also derived the Sulman-Feder bound for GD (GD-SF) for the binary-input output-symmetric channel under some proper conditions. However, this bound employs one parameter, though Forney's original upper bound has two parameters. In this paper, by choosing a proper function g(y), we derive a new GD-SF using two parameters and clarify this bound is tighter than Hof et al.'s GD-SF.

  • Iterative Multiuser Joint Decoding based on Augmented Lagrangian Method

    HORII Shunsuke, SUKO Tota, MATSUSHIMA Toshiyasu, HIRASAWA Shigeichi

    IEICE technical report. Information theory   113 ( 228 ) 13 - 17  2013.09

     View Summary

    In this paper, we develop an iterative multiuser joint decoding of code-division multiple-access (CDMA) signals based on a distributed optimization algorithm. For the joint decoding problem, decoding algorithm based on the turbo principle is widely used. The algorithm consists of soft-input soft-output (SISO) channel decoder and SISO multiuser detector and it can be derived as an application of the sum-product algorithm. On the other hand, in the research area of error correcting codes, the decoding algorithm based on convex optimization has been attracting a great deal of attention. Decoding algorithm based on linear programming (LP) has decoding error rate which is comparable with sum-product algorithm with stronger theoretical guarantees. We formulate the joint decoding problem of CDMA signals as an convex optimization problem and we present a relax form of the problem. Moreover, we propose a distributed algorithm which efficiently solves the relaxed optimization problem. The proposed algorithm is based on alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM).We also see the performance of the proposed decoder through numerical simulations.

     View Summary

    It is well known that the random forests proposed by L. Breiman in 2001 achieve the high accuracy for classification problems and regression problems. This method generates many regression trees by using CART for the regression problem. In this manuscript, we proopse the lossless image data compression based on regression trees.Then we treat previously compressed pixels as explaining variables, and treat the next pixel to compress as the objective variable. First, the image data to compress is "learned" by CART or random forests, and the output regression trees are coded. Next, each pixel data is predicted by using these regression trees, and each difference between the prediction value and the actual pixel value is compressed. Finally, we show that the proposed method can reduce compression ratio in comparison with PNG format.

However, this method introduces a unique metric matrix and estimate it by learning of all training data.

     View Summary

    Experiments usually aim to study how changes in various factors affect the response variable of interest. Since the model used most often at present in experimental design is expressed through the effect of each factor, it is easy to understand how each factor affects the response variable. However, since the model contains redundant parameters, a considerable amount of time is often necessary to implement the procedure for estimating the effects. On the other hand, it has recently been shown that the model in experimental design can also be expressed in terms of an orthonormal system. In this case, the model contains no redundant parameters. Moreover, the theorem with respect to the sum of squares for the 2-factor interaction, needed in the analysis of variance (ANOVA) has been obtained. However, 3-factor interaction is often to be considered in real cases, but the theorem with respect to the sum of squares for the 3-factor interaction has not been obtained up to now. In this paper, we present the theorem with respect to the sum of squares for the 3-factor interaction in a model based on an orthonormal system. Furthermore, we can also obtain the theorem for interactions with 4 or more factors by the similar proof. Hence, in any real case, we can execute ANOVA in the model based on an orthonormal system.

    Allocation methods for Cartesian product files on multiple disks by using linear error-correcting codes were proposed. In this paper, we propose an allocation method using unequal error protection(UEP) codes. Code-words of an UEP code have some special bits which are protected against a greater number of errors than other bits. We firstly assume a model that "*", which means "don't care". appear with different probability in each attribute of queries. In this case, the average response time can be calculated by using the split distance distribution. Then, we calculate the average response time of the allocation method using UEP codes, and we show the effectiveness of this method from numerical examples.

    Probabilisitc inference problem on the graphical model is very important since it is arising in many applications which include theory of error-correcting codes, image processing, speech recognition, and so on. Recently, linear programming based decoding algorithm for the error-correcting code has been receiving a lot of attention. Viewing the decoding problem as an example of the probabilistic inference problem on the graphical model, the factor graph corresponds to the problem has some specific structure. The functions in the factor graph can be classified into two classes, indicator functions and non-indicator functions. For the graph corresponds to the decoding problem, each non-indicator function is connected to only one variable node. On the other hand, the factor graph corresponds to the general probabilistic inference problems possibly have non-indicator functions which is connected to more than one variable nodes. The aim of this study is to develop the linear programming based inference algorithm for general inference problems.

  • Efficient Encoding of Generalized LDPC Codes

     View Summary

    Encoding complexities of LDPC codes and Generalized LDPC (GLDPC) codes, which are constructed by combining the ordinarily LDPC codes and linear block codes, are proportional to the square of the code length when using their generator matrices. J. Lu et.al. have proposed a linear time encodable method called "labe-and-decide algorithm" which decomposes Tanner graphs of arbitrary class of randomly constructed LDPC codes into a hierarchical structure to calculate parity bits from information bits. In this study, we propose an efficient encoding method for arbitrary class of randomly constructed GLDPC codes. It applies Dulmage-Mendelsohn decomposition for both the parity-check matrix and base code of GLDPC codes and cancalculate the parity bits by using pseudo inverse matrix of the component codes of GLDPC codes. We show the effectiveness of the proposed encoding algorithm by deriving the maximum number of encoding operation.

  • An Improved Bit Flipping Decoding Algorithm based on Messages of Binary Sequence

    IEICE technical report   110 ( 363 ) 61 - 66  2011.01

     View Summary

    Though the iterative threshold of Bit-flipping (BF) decoding is less than that of belief-propagation (BP) decoding, BF decoding algorithm is an effective method compared with the BP decoding algorithm in term of the decoding complexity. It is verified that the BF decoding shows an error floor when the channel error probability is small. To overcome this problem, S.K. Planjery, et. al. have proposed three bits BF decoding algorithm whose messages are combined with an ordinarily binary message and two bits message which represents a reliability of a codeword bit. Although the decoding performance of three bits BF decoding on an error floor region is greater than that of the BF decoding, its decoding rule is so complicated that it can be applied to for only the regular LDPC codes with variable node degree 3. In this paper, we propose a new three bit BF decoding algorithm applicable for the irregular LDPC codes. We also show by simulation results that the performance of the proposed new three bits BF decoding algorithm rule is better than that of the ordinarily three bits BF decoding algorithm. We also analytically derive the performance of both three bits BF decoding algorithms and compared them to show the effectiveness of our algorithm by the density evolution.

    Experiments usually aim to study how changes in various factors affect the response variable of interest. Since the response model used most often at present in experimental design is expressed through the effect of each factor, it is straightforward to ascertain how each factor affects the response variable. However, since the response model contains redundant parameters, we must calculate the degrees of freedom defined by the number of independent parameters in the analysis of variance. In this paper, we show that through a description of experimental design based on an orthonormal system, the response model can be expressed using only independent parameters. Hence, we do not have to calculate the degrees of freedom defined by the number of independent parameters.

    IEICE technical report. Information theory   110 ( 205 ) 31 - 36  2010.09

     View Summary

    In this paper, we develop a linear-programming (LP) decoding for the multiple-access channel with binary linear codes. For the single-user channel, LP decoding has been attracting much attention in recent years as a good approximation to the maximum likelihood decoding. We demonstrate that how the maximum likelihood decoding problem for the multiple-access channel with binary linear codes can be formulated as a linear programming problem. It is not straightforward because the objective function of the problem is a non-linear function of the codeword symbols in general. We introduce the auxiliary variables such that the objective function is a linear function of those variables. Then the ML decoding problem reduces to the LP problem however, it is too complex for practical implementation. As the case for the single-user channel, we formulate the relaxed LP problem. Just as in the case of the single-user channel, the proposed decoder has the desirable property called ML certificate property, that is, if the decoder outputs integer solution, it is guaranteed to be the ML codeword. The computational complexity of the proposed algorithm is the exponential order of the number of users, however, we can reduce the computational complexity of the algorithm for the gaussian multiple-access channel. Furthermore, we compare the performance of the proposed decoder with the decoder based on the sum-product algorithm.

  • A Theoretical Analysis of Document Classification based on a High-dimensional Vector Space Model : Asymptotic Analysis of Classification Performance and Distance Measures

    GOTO Masayuki, ISHIDA Takashi, SUZUKI Makoto, HIRASAWA Shigeichi

    Journal of Japan Industrial Management Association   61 ( 3 ) 97 - 106  2010.08

     View Summary

    Problems associated with document classification, an important application of text mining of text data, are focused on in this paper. There have been many models and algorithms proposed for text classification; one of these is a technique using a vector space model. In these methods, a digital document is represented as a point in the vector space which is constructed by morphological analysis and counting the frequency of each word in the document. In the vector space model, the documents can be classified using the distance measure between documents. However, there are specific characteristics in the vector space model for document classification. Firstly, it is not easy to automatically remove unnecessary words completely. The existence of unnecessary words is one of the characteristics of the text mining problems. Secondly, the dimensions of the word vector space are usually huge in comparison to the number of words appearing in a document. Although the frequencies of words appearing in a document could be small in many cases, many kinds of such words with small frequency can usually be used to classify the documents. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of document classification in the case where unnecessary words are included in the word set. Moreover, the performance of the distance measure between documents in a large dimensional word vector space is analyzed. From the asymptotic results about the distance measure, we can provide an explanation of the fact given in many experiments that classification using the empirical distance between documents calculated via the cosine measure is not particularly bad. It is also suggested that the KL-divergence is not useful for text mining problems.

  • A Note on a Sampling Theorem for Functions over GF(q)^n Domain

     View Summary

    In digital signal processing, the sampling theorem states that any real valued function ƒ can be reconstructed from a sequence of values of ƒ that are discretely sampled with a frequency at least twice as high as the maximum frequency of the spectrum of ƒ. This theorem can also be applied to functions over finite domain. Then, the range of frequencies of ƒ can be expressed in more detail by using a bounded set instead of the maximum frequency. A function whose range of frequencies is confined to a bounded set is referred to as bandlimited function. And a sampling theorem for bandlimited functions over Boolean domain has been obtained. Here, it is important to obtain a sampling theorem for bandlimited functions not only over Boolean domain (GF(q)n domain) but also over GF(q)n domain, where q is a prime power and GF(q) is Galois field of order q. For example, in experimental designs, although the model can be expressed as a linear combination of the Fourier basis functions and the levels of each factor can be represented by GF(q)n, the number of levels often take a value greater than two. However, the sampling theorem for bandlimited functions over GF(q)n domain has not been obtained. On the other hand, the sampling points are closely related to the codewords of a linear code. However, the relation between the parity check matrix of a linear code and any distinct error vectors has not been obtained, although it is necessary for understanding the meaning of the sampling theorem for bandlimited functions. In this paper, we generalize the sampling theorem for bandlimited functions over Boolean domain to a sampling theorem for bandlimited functions over GF(q)n domain. We also present a theorem for the relation between the parity check matrix of a linear code and any distinct error vectors. Lastly, we clarify the relation between the sampling theorem for functions over GF(q)n domain and linear codes.

    IEICE technical report   109 ( 446 ) 419 - 426  2010.02

     View Summary

    A new method of constructing efficient codes on the basis of (u,u+v)construction is presented. We present a large class of optimum linear codes for small number of information symbols. Namely we present (3(2^m-1),m+1,3・2^m-2) code, (3(2^m-1)+1,m+1,3・2^m-1) code and (3(2^m-1)+2,m+1,3・2^m) code respectively. We show that these codes meet the bound of linear codes (m≦6) due to Brouwer and Verhoeff. It is strongly conjectured that, for m>6, our codes meet the bound for any code-length. We then present the (n,2,d) codes that meet the bound of any linear code of length n≦125. It is strongly conjectured that the proposed (n,2,d) codes meet the bound of optimum linear code of any code length. We also present the (n,3,d) code that meet the bound of any linear code of length n except n=8+7μ for n≦60. It is strongly conjectured that our (n,3,d) code meet the bound for any code length except m=8+7μ(μ=1,2,…). Finally we present several optimum linear codes for the number of information symbols k=4,5,6 and 7.

  • Efficiently Encodable Generalized LDPC Codes using a Structure of its Subcodes

    TERAMOTO Kenichi, HOSOYA Gou, GOTO Masayuki, HIRASAWA Shigeichi

    IEICE technical report   109 ( 143 ) 25 - 30  2009.07

     View Summary

    The combination of the low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes and the iterative decoding algorithm has high performance. It has been shown that Generalized LDPC (GLDPC) codes, which are constructed by conbining the ordinarily LDPC codes and linear block codes, are asymptotically good codes and achieve channel capacity almost nearly. Unfortunately encoding complexity of these codes is proportional to the square of the code length. In this paper, we propose a linear time encodable GLDPC codes by applying systemtic structure for its subcodes, and the stair-like structure of the extended Irregular Repeat Accumulate (eIRA) codes for its base code. We show by some numerical example that the number of encoding operations for the proposed GLDPC codes is less than those of the conventional ones. We also show by simulation results that the decoding performances of the proposed GLDPC codes are almost the same as those for the ordinarily codes.

     View Summary

    The performance of a combination of the irregular low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes and the belief-propagation (BP) decoding algorithm strongly depends on a structure of their parity-check matrixes, and some of the codes exhibit bad performance. In this paper, we propose methods for constructing structured irregular LDPC codes which effectively facilitate for the BP decoding algorithm. We also develop methods for effective updating rules according to the bit node positions for the Shuffled BP decoding algorithm. We also show by simulation results that the decoding performances of the proposed irregular LDPC codes are better than those of the conventional ones.

    We develope two methodology of constructing irregular low-density parity-check (LDPC) code for correcting a burst erasure. With high probability, the performance degradation is caused by producing small size of stopping sets of many degree two variable nodes. In this paper we present effective variable node reordering method to increase minimum span of stopping sets (MSSS) by using the special structure of degree two variable nodes of extended irregular repeat accumulate (eIRA) codes. The proposed two codes have also efficient encodable property since they are the class of eIRA codes. Furthermore we present construction method of irregular LR-LDPC which are known to have large MSSS. From the experimental results, we show that MSSS of the proposed codes are larger than the conventional ones.

     View Summary

    The combination of the low-density parity-check (LDPC) code and the belif-propagation (BP) decoding algorithm exhibits a good decoding performance. Now error correction via LDPC code is applied for high speed wireless channel, wired channel and magnetic recording systems. To evaluate the correcting capability for burst erasure, analysis for the LDPC code ensemble has been employed. First, this analytical method evaluates the minimum span of the stopping set, and then, calculate the critical minimum span rate which expresses the rate of the correctable burst erasure for the code length. In this paper, we formulate more accurate critical minimum span rate by using minimum stopping set for the standard Tanner graph ensemble. We then apply it to evaluate the critical minimum span rate for the LR Tanner graph ensemble, which is a combined graph ensemble with a good correcting capability for burst erasure.

Interleaver is utilized for utilized to disperse burst error. In contrast, interleaver is utilized for good estimation of the channel states for joint estimation-decoding in this study. We evaluate error correcting performance of the interleaved codes by computer simulation. Furthermore, we propose a simple analysis method for this interleaved codes based on density evolution method considered to the states of channels.

    In this paper, a new pre-trained detection scheme for near-duplicated images is proposed. By using the assumption that the difference vectors between the original image and its near-duplicated image form altered or non-altered spaces independent of the original images. With pre-trained results, we regard features with large values in the difference vectors as the affected features by alteration. To avoid mis-detection, the proposed method codenses similar features together. The proposed method is valid for the original images without pre-training. We show by simulation results that the precision of the proposed method is larger than that of the conventional ones.

The generalized parallel error correcting codes can handle with more errors compared with the original ones. We show construction methods of independent and non-independent parallel error correcting codes and decoding methods. We derive some bounds about the size of respective parallel error correcting codes. The obtained results imply a single parallel error correcting code can be constructed by two or more kinds of error correcting codes with distinct error correcting capabilities.

    In the previous result, we generalized the achievability of variable-length coding from two viewpoints. One is the definition of an overflow probability, and the other is the definition of an achievability. We defined the overflow probability as the probability of codeword length, not per symbol, is larger than η_n and we introduce the ε-achievability of variable-length codes that implies an existence of a code for the source under the condition that the overflow probability is smaller than or equal to ε. Then, we showed the condition of ε-achievability for some restricted sources given ε. In this paper, at first we define the ε-achievability for the parametric compound source. Then we show the sufficient condition for the ε-achievability.

Digital fingerprinting should deter collusion attacks, where several fingerprinted copies of the same content are mixed to disturb their fingerprints. In this paper, we consider the averaging attack, which has effect for multimedia fingerprinting. We propose new collusion-secure fingerprinting codes based on finite geometries (FGs) which increase the rate of conventional collusion-secure codes, while they guarantee to identify the same number of colluders. Due to the new FG-based fingerprinting codes, the system can deal with a larger number of users to distribute a digital content.

     View Summary

    In the present paper, we consider the automatic text categorization as a series of information processing and propose a new classification technique called the Frequency Ratio Accumulation Method (FRAM). This is a simple technique that calculates the sum of ratios of word frequency in each category. However, in FRAM, feature terms can be used without limit. Therefore, we propose the use of the character N-gram and the word N-gram as feature terms using the above-described property of FRAM. Next, we evaluate the proposed technique through a number of experiments. In these experiments, we classify newspaper articles from Japanese CD-Mainichi 2002 and English Reuters-21578 using the Naive Bayes method (baseline method) and the proposed method. As a result, we show that the classification accuracy of the proposed method is far better than that of the baseline method. Specifically, the classification accuracy of the proposed method is 87.3% for Japanese CD-Mainichi 2002 and 86.1% for English Reuters-21578. Thus, the proposed method has very high performance. Although the proposed method is a simple technique, it provides a new perspective and has a high potential and is language-independent Thus, the proposed method can be expected to be developed further in the future.

  • Properties of a word-valued source with a non-prefix-free word set

    IEICE TRANSACTIONS ON FUNDAMENTALS OF ELECTRONICS COMMUNICATIONS AND COMPUTER SCIENCES   E89A ( 12 ) 3710 - 3723  2006.12

     View Summary

    Recently, a word-valued source has been proposed as a new class of information source models. A word-valued source is regarded as a source with a probability distribution over a word set. Although a word-valued source is a nonstationary source in general, it has been proved that an entropy rate of the source exists and the Asymptotic Equipartition Property (AEP) holds when the word set of the source is prefix-free. However, when the word set is not prefix-free (non-prefix-free), only an upper bound on the entropy density rate for an i.i.d. word-valued source has been derived so far. In this paper, we newly derive a lower bound on the entropy density rate for an i.i.d. word-valued source with a finite non-prefix-free word set. Then some numerical examples are given in order to investigate the behavior of the bounds.

    We consider the reliability-based heuristic search methods for maximum likelihood decoding, which generate test error patterns (or, equivalently, candidate codewords) according to their heuristic values. Some studies have proposed methods for reducing the space complexity of these algorithms, which is crucially large for long block codes at medium to low signal to noise ratios of the channel. In this paper, we propose a new method for reducing the time complexity of generating candidate codewords by storing some already generated candidate codewords. Simulation results show that the increase of memory size is small.

We show by simulation results that the performance of codes permuted by our method are better than that of the original codes, especially with two or more solid burst erasures.

In our system, the receiver transmits a list of positions of unreliable information bits based on the log a-posteriori probability ratios by outputs of a soft-output decoder to the transmitter. This method is just like that of the reliability-based hybrid ARQ scheme. To dynamically select an appropriate interleaving function with feedback information is a key feature of our system. By computer simulations, we show that the performance of a system with a feedback channel is improved by dynamically selecting an appropriate interleaving function.

  • A note on construction of orthogonal arrays with unequal strength from error-correcting codes

    Tomohiko Saito, Toshiyasu Matsushima, Shigeichi Hirasawa

    IEICE TRANSACTIONS ON FUNDAMENTALS OF ELECTRONICS COMMUNICATIONS AND COMPUTER SCIENCES   E89A ( 5 ) 1307 - 1315  2006.05

     View Summary

    Orthogonal Arrays (OAs) have been playing important roles in the field of experimental design. It has been known that OAs are closely related to error-correcting codes. Therefore, many OAs can be constructed from error-correcting codes. But these OAs are suitable for only cases that equal interaction effects can be assumed, for example, all two-factor interaction effects. Since these cases are rare in experimental design, we cannot say that OAs from error-correcting codes are practical. In this paper. we define OAs with unequal strength. In terms of our terminology. OAs from error-correcting codes are OAs with equal strength. We show that OAs with unequal strength are closer to practical OAs than OAs with equal strength. And we clarify the relation between OAs with unequal strength and unequal error-correcting codes. Finally, we propose some construction methods of OAs with unequal strength from unequal error-correcting codes.

  • Transformation of a parity-check matrix for a message-passing algorithm over the BEC

    IEICE TRANSACTIONS ON FUNDAMENTALS OF ELECTRONICS COMMUNICATIONS AND COMPUTER SCIENCES   E89A ( 5 ) 1299 - 1306  2006.05

     View Summary

    We propose transformation of a parity-check matrix of any low-density parity-check code. A code with transformed parity-check matrix is an equivalent of a code with the original parity-check matrix. For the binary erasure channel, performance of a message-passing algorithm with a transformed parity-check matrix is better than that with the original matrix.

    Tail biting trellis codes and block concatenated codes are discussed from random coding arguments. An error exponent and decoding complexity for tail biting random trellis codes are shown. We then propose a block concatenated code constructed by a tail biting trellis inner code and derive an error exponent and decoding complexity for the proposed code. The results obtained by the proposed code show that we can attain a larger error exponent at all rates except for low rates with the same decoding complexity compared with the original concatenated code. © 2006 Taylor &amp

    SAITO Tomohiko, MATSUSHIMA Toshiyasu, HIRASAWA Shigeichi

    IEICE technical report   vol.106 ( no.60 ) 53 - 58  2006

     View Summary

    Orthogonal Arrays (OAs) have been playing important roles in the field of experimental design. It is well known that OAs are closely related to error-correcting codes, and many good OAs are constructed from error-correcting codes. And factorial effects that can be estimated with OAs corresponding to error-correcting codes are clarified. On the other hand, in our past researches, we focused on the relation between OAs and unequal error protection codes (UEP codes). OAs corresponding to UEP codes are called OAs with unequal strength (UOAs), where OAs corresponding to error-correcting codes are called OAs with equal strength. We showed that UOAs are more practical than OAs with equal strength, and proposed some construction methods of UOAs from UEP codes. But, in the researches, we only showed some examples of factorial effects that can be estimated with UOAs, so we had never clarified these factorial effects as well as OAs with equal strength. In this paper, we clarify factorial effects that can be estimated with UOAs.

  • The Reliability based Hybrid ARQ Scheme with both the Encoded Parity Bit Retransmissions and Message Passing Decoding

    KOIZUMI Daiki, KOBAYASHI Naoto, MATSUSHIMA Toshiyasu, HIRASAWA Shigeichi

    IEICE technical report   vol.106 ( no.60 ) 23 - 28  2006

     View Summary

    Reliability Based Hybrid ARQ (RB-HARQ) is an ARQ scheme using the modified feedback. In the RB-HARQ, the receiver returns both NAK signal and unreliable bit indices if the received sequence is not acknowledged. Since the unreliable bit index is determined by the bitwise posterior probability, better approximation of that probability is crucial. Assuming the systematic codes, the proposed RB-HARQ scheme has two features for this approximation: (1) The sender retransmits newly encoded parity bits corresponding to the unreliable information bits; (2) The retransmitted parity bits as well as the initial received sequence are put all together to perform the message passing decoding.

    This paper generalizes parallel error correcting codes proposed by Alshwede et al. over a type of multiple access channels called a parallel channel. The generalized parallel error correcting codes can handle with more errors compared with the original ones. We show construction methods of independent and non-independent parallel error correcting code and decoding methods. We derive some bounds about the size of respective parallel error correcting code.

     View Summary

    The reliability-based heuristic search methods for maximum likelihood decoding (MLD) generate test error patterns (or, equivalently, candidate codewords) according to their heuristic values. Test error patterns are stored in lists and its space complexity is crucially large for MLD of long block codes. Based on the decoding algorithms both of Battail and Fang and of its generalized version suggested by Valembois and Fossorier, we propose a new method for reducing the space complexity of the heuristic search methods for MLD including the well-known decoding algorithm of Han et al. If the heuristic function satisfies a certain condition, the proposed method guarantees to reduce the space complexity of both the Battail-Fang and Han et al. decoding algorithms. Simulation results show the high efficiency of the proposed method.

    Orthogonal arrays have been used in the field of experimental design. Hedayat and Sloane showed the relation between orthogonal arrays and error-correcting codes[1]. And they proposed some construction methods of both linear and nonlinear orthogonal arrays from error-correcting codes. On the other hand, the paper[5] defined unequal orthogonal arrays as new class. It showed that unequal orthogonal arrays are more applicable to experimental design. Furthermore, it showed the relation between unequal orthogonal arrays and unequal error-correcting codes[3], and proposed the construction method of unequal orthogonal arrays from unequal error-correcting codes. But orthogonal arrays from this construction method are all linear. In this paper, we clarify the relation between nonlinear unequal orthogonal arrays and codes. And we propose one of construction methods of nonlinear unequal orthogonal arrays from error-correcting codes.

     View Summary

    The best-known algorithm for the decoding of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes is the sum-product algorithm (SPA). The SPA is a message-passing algorithm on a graphical model called a factor graph (FG). The performance of the SPA depends on a structure of loops in a FG. Pearl showed that loops in a graphical model could be erased by the clustering method. This method clusters plural nodes into a single node. In this paper, we show several examples about a decoding on a FG to which the clustering method is applied. And we propose an efficient decoding algorithm for it. © 2005 IEEE.

    The problem of universal codes with side information is investigated from Bayes criterion. We propose side information context tree models which are an extension of context tree models to sources with side information. Assuming a special class of the prior distributions for side information context tree models, we propose an efficient algorithm of Bayes code for the models. The asymptotic code length of the Bayes codes with side information is also investigated.

    Universities are expected to keep faculty developments. By using knowledge acquisition methods such as the statistical techniques or the information retrieval methods, we propose the efficient methods for analyzing the students answers for questionnaires. First, a model, which shows the relationships between a students characteristic and the degree of satisfaction or their score, is proposed. Next, a set of questionnaires is analyzed using the statistical technique or the information retrieval method, and finally the class model is verified.

  • A note on a decoding algorithm of codes on graphs with small loops

    Naoto Kobayashi, Toshiyasu Matsushima, Shigeichi Hirasawa

    Proceedings of the IEEE ITSOC Information Theory Workshop 2005 on Coding and Complexity, ITW2005     108 - 112  2005

     View Summary

    The best-known algorithm for the decoding of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes is the sum-product algorithm (SPA). The SPA is a message-passing algorithm on a graphical model called a factor graph (FG). The performance of the SPA depends on a structure of loops in a FG. Pearl showed that loops in a graphical model could be erased by the clustering method. This method clusters plural nodes into a single node. In this paper, we show several examples about a decoding on a FG to which the clustering method is applied. And we propose an efficient decoding algorithm for it. © 2005 IEEE.

    IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory - Proceedings   2005   2345 - 2348  2005

     View Summary

    The problem of universal codes with side information is investigated from Bayes criterion. We propose side information context tree models which are an extension of context tree models to sources with side information. Assuming a special class of the prior distributions for side information context tree models, we propose an efficient algorithm of Bayes code for the models. The asymptotic code length of the Bayes codes with side information is also investigated.

  • An improved method of reliability-based maximum likelihood decoding algorithms using an order relation among binary vectors

    H Yagi, M Kobayashi, T Matsushima, S Hirasawa

    IEICE TRANSACTIONS ON FUNDAMENTALS OF ELECTRONICS COMMUNICATIONS AND COMPUTER SCIENCES   E87A ( 10 ) 2493 - 2502  2004.10

     View Summary

    Reliability-based maximum likelihood decoding (MLD) algorithms of linear block codes have been widely studied. These algorithms efficiently search the most likely codeword using the generator matrix whose most reliable and linearly independent k (dimension of the code) columns form the identity matrix. In this paper, conditions for omitting unnecessary metrics computation of candidate codewords are derived in reliability-based MLD algorithms. The proposed conditions utilize an order relation of binary vectors. A simple method for testing if the proposed conditions are satisfied is devised. The method for testing proposed conditions requires no real number operations and, consequently, the MLD algorithm employing this method reduces the number of real number operations, compared to known reliability-based MLD algorithms.

    IEICE technical report. Information theory   104 ( 229 ) 23 - 28  2004.07

     View Summary

    In this paper we treat universal source coding when the parameters of the probabilistic model of source are known. Bayes code is one of the wellknowm universal codes. Bayes code has Bayes optimality in point of minimization of redundancy. Recently, many researches of Bayes code for nohstationary sources are done. Researches for sources with piecewise constant parameters are one of them. Each sections are visible to stationary sources. But these sources have abruptly changing parameters. And they are treated as nonstationary sources. But the Asymptotic character of mean redundancy for this source is not known. In this paper, we evaluate asymptotic mean redundancy of this source with the conditions of change number is not kown. And we show that Bayes code has universality with some condtions.

  • A ramp model for key distribution schemes

    YOSHIDA Takahiro, MATSUSHIMA Toshiyasu, HIRASAWA Shigeichi

    Technical report of IEICE. ISEC   104 ( 53 ) 69 - 74  2004.05

     View Summary

    A key distribution scheme is a method to distribute off-line initial private pieces of information among a set of users, such that each group of a given size can compute a common key for secure conference. In this paper, we consider a ramp model for key distribution scheme. In the ramp model, the required resources can be reduced at the cost of a secerity degradation which depends on the size of users. We define a ramp model for key distribution scheme, show lower bounds on the size of the piece of a user's information and design a ramp model for key distribution scheme.

     View Summary

    Several reliability based code search algorithms for maximum likelihood decoding have been proposed. These algorithms search the most. likely codeword, using the most reliable information set. where the leftmost k (the dimension of code) columns of generator matrix are the most reliable and linearly independent. Especially, D. Gazelle and J. Snyders have proposed an efficient decoding algorithm and this algorithm requires small number of candidate codewords to find out the most likely codeword. In this paper, we propose new efficient methods for both generating candidate codewords and computing metrics of candidate codewords to obtain the most likely codeword at the decoder. The candidate codewords constructed by the proposed method are identical those in the decoding algorithm of Gazelle et al. Consequently, the proposed decoding algorithm reduces the time complexity in total; compared to the decoding algorithm of Gazelle et al. without the degradation in error performance.

     View Summary

    Nishiara and Morita defined an i.i.d. word-valued source which is defined as a pair of an i.i.d. source with a countable alphabet and a function which transforms each symbol into a word over finite alphabet. They showed the asymptotic equipartition property (AEP) of the i.i.d. word-valued source and discussed the relation with source coding algorithm based on a string parsing approach. However, their model is restricted in the i.i.d. case and any universal code for a class of word-valued sources isn't discussed. In this paper, we generalize the i.i.d. word-valued source to the ergodic word-valued source which is defined by an ergodic source with a countable alphabet and a function from each symbol to a word. We show existence of entropy rate of the ergodic word-valued source and its formula. Moreover, we show the recurrence time theorem for the ergodic word-valued source with a finite alphabet. This result clarifies that Ziv-Lempel code (ZL77 code) is universal for the ergodic word-valued source.

    IEICE technical report. Theoretical foundations of Computing   103 ( 246 ) 93 - 98  2003.07

     View Summary

    Conventionally, decision tree generation algorithm has been used when performing prediction using the decision tree model. It can be considered that these are the model selection algorithm in the basis to which data was given. And, It predicts using the model chosen by the basis to which data was given. Therefore, it was very difficult to perform theoretical evaluation to the rate of a prediction error. In this work, we shows the prediction algorithm which makes the rate of an average prediction error the minimum. First, we re-formulize a decision tree model as a parametric stochastic model. The optimal prediction algorithm based on Bayes decision theory is shown using the model. Furthermore, the algorithm which calculates a prediction distribution efficiently by restraining a model class is described.

    Recently, the compression algorithms based on the grammar have been proposed. These algorithms first generate the grammar and then apply the arithmetic code. H.Nakamura et al. proposed an algorithm which registeres the most frequent digram as a rule. While, M.Kanda et al. have proposed an algorithm which makes the grammar the optimum by calculating the ideal code length of the arithmetic code. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm that we generates the grammar for the most frequent N-gram as well as the most frequent digram.

    IEICE technical report. Information theory   103 ( 214 ) 25 - 30  2003.07

     View Summary

    The Ziv-Lempel(LZ)codes which are typical universal codes have been proposed modifing algorithms from not only theoretical but practical use. Recently, a word-valued source has been by proposed as a new class of source models, and its entropy rate is analyzed. The LZ78 codes for the word-valued source can be applied with two kinds of methods (i) inclemental parsing for each word (ii) inclemental parsing for each symbol. The performance compression of the LZ78 codes between these two kinds of methods is an interesting theme. In this paper, we show that the upper bound of average redundancy achieves O(1/log n) and consider about validity of LZ78 codes.

  • On universality of both Bayes codes and Ziv-Lempel codes for sources which emit data sequence by block unit

    T Ishida, M Gotoh, S Hirasawa

    ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATIONS IN JAPAN PART III-FUNDAMENTAL ELECTRONIC SCIENCE   86 ( 1 ) 58 - 69  2003

     View Summary

    Ziv-Lempel (ZL) codes and Bayes codes are typical universal codes. An improved algorithm of the ZL code is widely used in compression software. On the other hand, practical use of Bayes codes is difficult due to the large amount of computation needed. However, a realizable algorithm in terms of computation effort has been constructed for the FSMX model group [9]. In this paper, an information source generating a sequence by word units is assumed as a model that can represent the probabilistic structure of actual data such as text data. The asymptotic compression performance of both codes is analyzed and evaluated for the information source class (information source for the block unit) with a constant (fixed) word length. As a result, it is found that Bayes code cannot directly be universal as a coding algorithm for symbol units. On the other hand, the ZL78 code can be directly universal. Also, a configuration method for the Bayes coding method is given for an information source with a block unit. (C) 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

     View Summary

    In this paper, we consider the Bayesian approach for representation of a set of documents. In the field of representation of a set of documents, many previous models, such as the latent semantic analysis (LSA), the probabilistic latent semantic analysis (PLSA), the Semantic Aggregate Model (SAM), the Bayesian Latent Semantic Analysis (BLSA), and so on, were proposed. In this paper, we formulate the Bayes optimal solutions for estimation of parameters and selection of the dimension of the hidden latent class in these models and analyze it's asymptotic properties.

  • Knowledge acquisition from documents with both fixed and free formats

    S Hirasawa, WW Chu

    2003 IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEMS, MAN AND CYBERNETICS, VOLS 1-5, CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS     4694 - 4699  2003

     View Summary

    Based on techniques in information retrieval, we discuss methods for knowledge acquisition from documents composed of both fixed and free for-mats. The documents with the fixed format imply items such as those of selecting one from sentences, words, symbols, or numbers. While the documents with the free format are the usual texts. In this paper, starting with an item-document matrix and a term-document matrix used for the representation of a document set, we propose a new method for knowledge acquisition taking simultaneously into account of both fixed and free formats. A method based on the Probabilistic Latent Semantic Indexing (PLSI) model is used for clustering a set of documents. The proposed method is applied to a document set given by questionnaires of students which is taken for the purpose of faculty development. We show the effectiveness of the proposed method compared to the conventional method.

    IEICE technical report. Information theory   102 ( 198 ) 19 - 24  2002.07

     View Summary

    Sum-product algorithm, a well-known decoding algorithm of LDPC codes, is based on APP decoding to decode each received symbol. We usually assume that the parameters of channels are known, since a likelihood of channel noise is needed. When we consider applying it to practical channels, it is rarely that the parameters of channels are known. In this paper we propose a decoding algorithm combined with estimating unknown parameters of channels and we show that the bit error probability is as close as that of a decoding algorithm in which the parameters are known.

     View Summary

    One of the most prominent blind channel equalizer is Godard algorithm, which many researchers have been devoted to recently. Since the Godard algorithm has local minima, which leads to inferior equalization performance, recently, K. Dogancay and R. A. Kennedy have reformulated the Godard algorithm so that equalizer parameters converge globally and we can perform more robust way of equalization. In this paper, the equalization algorithm, which the equalization parameter is proved to control bias of estimator under the certain noise model, is proposed. Furthermore, an efficient adaptive implementation of the algorithm is proposed.

     View Summary

    We consider the kind of distributed cooperative systems defined as follows. First, a number of agents make observations of an information of correlative states. Second, the agent receives the partial information from other agent and sends the part of observed information to other agent. Finally, the agent utilizes observed information to the full for group decision. In this paper, we apply a multi-terminal systems to a distributed cooperative system and formulate a distributed cooperative problem based on Bayes decision theory. In tha case that loss function is the logarithmic loss function, we shall derive the Bayes rule that minimizes Bayes risk, and show that Bayes risk of the Bayes rule is represented as two types of the mutual information.

     View Summary

    Statistical model selection is one of the most important problems in statistics, and many works have left essential results. The conventional information criteria for model selection, such as the Akaike information criterion (AIC), the Bayesian information criterion (BIC), and minimum description length (MDL) were derived from different viewpoints. Many other model selection criteria have also been reported from various viewpoints. On the other hand, if we specify the model class and assume prior probabilities, then we can acquire Bayes optimal model selection for a finite number of samples based on Bayes decision theory. Furthermore, we can assume the various loss function adapting the purpose of model selection for practical cases. In this paper, we analyze the asymptotic properties of stasistical model selection based on Bayes decision theory. At first, we formulate Bayes optimal solution based on Bayes decision theory. In this formulation, we introduce the general loss function for practical problems. Moreover, we analyze the upper limits of the error rate of the model selection.

     View Summary

    We analyse the extended stochastic complexity (ESC) which has been proposed by K. Yamanishi. The ESC can be applied to learning algorithms for on-line prediction and batch-learning settings. Yamanishi derived the upper bound of ESC satisfying uniformly for all data sequences and that of the asymptotic expectation of ESC. However, Yamanishi concentrates mainly on the worst case performance and the lower bound has not been derived. In this paper, we show some interesting properties of ESC which are similar to Bayesian statistics: the Bayes rule and the asymptotic normality. We then derive the asymptotic formula of ESC in the meaning of almost sure and mean convergence within an error of o(1) using these properties.

     View Summary

    In document retrieval system by keywords, an inverted file is often used. We propose a new method for compressing and decoding it. In the proposed method, it is compressed and decoded at two stages, and syndromes are used in compression. We represent an inverted file by a simple mathematical model and evaluate the system by two quantities. One is size of secondary memory where an inverted file and a decode tree are stored. Another is time complexity for decoding it. The VG bound is used to derive the two quantities. The numerical calculation shows trade-off relation between the two quantities. The time complexity decreases strikingly compared with increase in memory which shows the usefulness of the proposed method.

  • A Note on the Asymptotic Normality of Posterior Probability Densities

    MARUYAMA Hideaki, GOTOH Masayuki, HIRASAWA Shigeichi

    IEICE technical report. Information theory   99 ( 187 ) 79 - 84  1999.07

     View Summary

    Posterior distributions conditioned by a data sequence converge to normal distributions under proper assumptions. This characteristic is called the asymptotic normality. In many previout works, convergence in probability or almost sure convergence, etc. have been considered. In this paper, we derive the asymptotic normality which holds uniformly for data sequences, without assuming the true distribution. On the other hand, the SC, an extension of the MDL criterion, is defined as a code length of the Bayes code, or the maximum likelihood code. The asymptotic formula of the SC was discussed in the meaning of uniform convergence. This is essential in a notion of the universal modeling. We show the asymptotic normality in the meaning of uniform convergence and derive the asymptotic formula of the SC which holds uniformly for data sequences directly from the uniform asymptotic normality.

    The statistical model selection problems are discussed, and the criterion based on the Bayes decision theory for the detection of the true model is derived. We propose a new Bayesian model selection scheme, which can detect the change points of the parameter of the information source and also estimate each unknown parameter. In this paper, we formulate the Bayes optimal solution of the change detection problem, and analyze its property of the consistency. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

  • A Note on Decision Theoretic Formulation for Learning from Queries

    Y. Ukita, T. Matsushima, S. Hirasawa

    Transactions on Information Processing Society of Japan   39 ( 11 ) 2937 - 2948  1998.11  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    There are two main learning paradigms in machine learning.One is leaning from examples and the other is learning from queries. It is necessary in learning from queries to use good query strategy because the probability that the true hypothesis is learned depends on it. However, from the computational learning theory it is important to judge whether it can learn or cannot, and it cannot be decided which query strategy is good. In this paper, we formulate learning from queries by the decision theory and propose a method of evaluating query strategy, where under the conditon that one of learning criteria (success principle, efficiency principle) is restricted, the other is minimized. Furthermore, we p ropose a new lower bound required for the branch-and-bound algorithm which gets efficiently the optimal query strategy. This paper is an effective study from the viewpoint of guaranteeing that the computational work for an oracle is made the smallest in learning.

    LZ78 code is one of the most effective universal code which leads to many improved coding methods. However, even if we want to decode only the partial sequence then we must decode all of the sequence from the initial. In order to partially decode, the improved method is needed. For the LZ77 code, K.Iwata et al. proposed the improved partially decodable code. In this paper, we propose the new partially decodable code based on LZ78 code.

But this algorithm is not effective for the sources with finite memory.

  • Parallel Architecture for Generalized LFSR in LSI Built-In Self Testing

    MATSUSHIMA Tomoko K., MATSUSHIMA Toshiyasu, HIRASAWA Shigeichi

    IEICE Trans. Fundamentals   81 ( 6 ) 1252 - 1261  1998.06

     View Summary

    This paper presents a new architecture for multiple-input signature analyzers. The proposed signature analyzer with Hδ inputs is designed by parallelizing a GLFSR(δ, m), where δ is the number of input signals and m is the number of stages in the feedback shift register. The GLFSR, developed by Pradhan and Gupta, is a general framework for representing LFSR-based signature analyzers. The parallelization technique described in this paper can be applied to any kind of GLFSR signature analyzer, e. g., SISRs, MISRs, multiple MISRs and MLFSRs. It is shown that a proposed signature analyzer with Hδ inputs requires less complex hardware than either single GLFSR(Hδ, m)s or a parallel construction of the H original GLFSR(δ, m)s. It is also shown that the proposed signature analyzer, while requiring simpler hardware, has comparable aliasing probability with analyzers using conventional GLFSRs for some CUT error models of the same test response length and test time. The proposed technique would be practical for testing CUTs with a large number of output sequences, since the test circuit occupies a smaller area on the LSI chip than the conventional multiple-input signature analyzers of comparable aliasing probability.

     View Summary

    In this paper, prediction using side information is studied. This problem has been investigated as predictive inference in the field of Bayesian theory and as on-line learning in the field of learning theory. The prediction problem under consideration is to predict-log p(y mid x)using given side information x.It is regarded as universal coding given side information. The Bayes risk of the Bayes predictive inference and the maxmini risk correspond to the mutual information of a certain multi-terminal channel and its capacity, respectively. In a certain prediction model, I.e., a multi-terminal channel, the Bayes optimum prediction is derived. Moreover, the asymptotic forms of Bayes risk and maximin risk are shown. This maximin risk is regarded as a difficulty measure of predictive inference and learning.

Here a question arises. Does AIC have not consistency for the purpose? On the other hand, if we specify the model class, then we can formulate the Bayes optimal model selection for finite samples based on Bayes decision theory. In this paper, we show that model selection based on Bayes decision theory has consistency independent of whether the purpose is prediction of future observation or detection of a true model.

    Concatenated codes have many remarkable properties from both the theoretical and practical viewpoints. The minimum distance of a concatenated code is at least the product of the minimum distances of an outer code and an inner code. In this paper, we shall examine some cases that the minimum distance of concatenated codes is beyond the lower bound and get the tighter bound or the true minimum distance of concatenated codes by using the complete weight enumerator of the outer code and the Hamming weight enumerator of the inner code. Furthermore we propose a new decoding method based on Reddy-Robinson algorithm by using the decoding method beyond the BCH bound.

    In trellis coding for data compression, it is difficult to search all codes, and a code is selected by the local search method. In the meantime, the property of the optimal code is shown in Rate-Distortion Theory. In this paper, we propose an algorithm which selects a good code by using the property to avoid selecting a local optimal code as much as possible. To evaluate the algorithm using the property, first we investigate the property of the optimal code for small constraint length by the simulation. Next we compare the result by the algorithm using the property for that by the algorithm not using the property by the simulation.

    In the PAC learning model and the U-learning model, the learning algorithm runs independent of the prior distribution. On the other hand, the Bayes algorithm works utilized the prior distribution, and it is Bayes optimal. Haussler have analyzed the sample complexity on the Bayes algorithm. But the algorithm usually requires a large amount of the time complexity. In this paper, we discuss on the complexity of the Bayes algorithm focusing on not only the sample complexity but also the time complexity. In this new learning model, the complexity depends on both the concept class and the family of priors. On the basis of both complexities, we propose a new concept called Bayesian learnability. Moreover we show the learnability of typical concept classes, and the properties of the Bayesian learnability.

    The Bayes code is the Bayes optimal solution based on Bayes decision theory. This is the method which uses mixture of all models in model class for coding function. B.S.Clarke and A.R.Barron analyzed asymptotic mean codelength of the Bayes code and showed that Jaffreys' prior is the asymptotically least favorable under entropy risk for i.i.d sources. This paper consists of two parts. At first, we show the asymptotic codelengths of the Bayes codes for individual sequences for the parametric model class. The main condition required here for the parameter space is that the posterior probability of parameter has asymptotic normality. Generally speaking, the asymptotic notmality of posterior distribution distribution holds for other than i.i.d. sources. Secondly, we shall prove that Clarke and Barron's asymptotics of the Bayes code is satisfied for more general model classes than i.i.d. sources. The main conditions required here is the Central Limit Theorem for the maximum likelihood estimates. Since the target of source coding is not usually i.i.d. source, the extension is this paper is effective.

     View Summary

    Recently, the high-speed data transmission techniques that have been developed for communication systems have in turn necessitated the implementation of high-speed error correction circuits. Parallel processing has been found to be an effective method of speeding up operations, since the maximum achievable clock frequency is generally bounded by the physical constraints of the circuit. This paper presents a parallel encoder and decoder architecture which can be applied to both binary and nonbinary cyclic codes. The architecture allows H symbols to be processed in parallel, where H is an arbitrary integer, although its hardware complexity is not proportional to the number of parallel symbols H. As an example, we investigate hardware complexity for a Reed-Solomon code and a binary BCH code. It is shown that both the hardware complexity and the delay for a parallel circuit is much less than that with the parallel operation of H conventional circuits. Although the only problem with this parallel architecture is that the encoder's critical path length increases with H, the proposed architecture is more efficient than a setup using H conventional circuits for high data rate applications. It is also suggested that a parallel Reed-Solomon encoder and decoder, which can keep up with optical transmission rates, i.e., several giga bits/sec, could be implemented on one LSI chip using current CMOS technology.

The relation between ZL code and Bayes code has been discussed from some three points of view[2]. From previous reseaches it is known that Bayes code surpasses ZL code concerning compresion rate. On the other hand ZL code surpasses Bayes code concerning complexity. So in this paper, from the three points of view, we consider the relation between ZL code and Bayes code by introducing the experimental algorithm.

     View Summary

    The minimum description length (MDL) principle which was proposed by J.Rissanen has been studied not only in the universal source coding but in the areas on data analysis, learning theory and the statistical model selection. The MDL is the method to minimize the total description length of the data and that of a probabilistic model, and is closely related to Bayesian statistics. This is because the MDL assumes implicitly the prior distribution. On the other hand, the Bayes coding is the method which uses mixture of all models in model class for coding function. The Bayes code is obtained by the Bayes optimal solution for the code length. Therefore, if we can assume the same prior distribution in both coding, it is clear that the Bayes code is superior to the code based on MDL principle. In this paper, we shall analysis the difference the codelengths between the MDL and the Bayes codes and show that the Bayes code is superior to the code based on the MDL principle.

     View Summary

    Several kinds of LFSR-based signature analyzers have been proposed for LSI built-in self test. MLFSR, which has been proposed for multiple output CUT by Pradhan et al., has the possibility to achieve the better aliasing probability than other schemes such as the multiple MISR scheme with comparable hardware complexity. The only problem with this scheme is that the hardware complexity becomes larger than propotionally as δ increases, where δ is the number of parallel signals inputted into MLFSR, and so MLFSR is not adequate for testing CUTs with large number of output signals. In this report, we propose a parallel architecture for signature circuits applicable to such CUTs. This architecture allows Hδ bits to be processed in parallel, where H can be chosen as an arbitrary integer. It is shown that the complexity for the parallel circuit, with Hδ input, signals is much smaller than that for a parallel opereation of H converntional circuits with δinput signals.

  • A formulation by minimization of differential entropy for optimal control system

    M Gotoh, S Hirasawa, N Tawara

    IEICE TRANSACTIONS ON FUNDAMENTALS OF ELECTRONICS COMMUNICATIONS AND COMPUTER SCIENCES   E79A ( 4 ) 569 - 577  1996.04

     View Summary

    This paper proposes a new formulation which minimizes the differential entropy for an optimal control problem. The conventional criterion of the optimal regulator control is a standard quadratic cost function E[M{x(t)}(2) + N{u(t)}(2)], where x(t) is a state variable, u(t) is an input value, and M and N are positive weights. However, increasing the number of the variables of the system it is complex to find the solution of the optimal regulator control. Therefore, the simplicity of the solution is required. In contrast to the optimal regulator control, we propose the minimum entropy control which minimizes a differential entropy of the weighted sum of x(t) and u(t). This solution is derived on the assumptions that the linear control and x(t)u(t) less than or equal to 0 are satisfied. As the result, the formula of the minimum entropy control is very simple and clear. This result will be useful for the further work with multi variables of simple control formulation.

     View Summary

    In this paper, a parallel encoder and decoder architecture for cyclic codes is presented. This architecture can decrease encoding and decoding time 1/H(H > 1) compared to conventional codec, where H is the number of symbols processed in parallel. As an example, we investigate hardware complexity for a (255,251) Reed-Solomon code over GF(2^8). It is shown that hardware complexity for a set of parallel encoder and decoder is much smaller than that for a parallel operation of H conventional sets.

    In this paper, we present the results of analyses on superimposed codes constructed based on a probabilistic manner. The superimposed-codes have a feature which is superior to the conventional one not only in the code rates but also in the decoding complexity. The results of analyses show that the codes with larger rates by a factor of approximately 3 compared with the conventional one, exist under the same value of the probability of decoding error and the same level of the decoding complexity. Finally the table of the efficient codes parameter is given.

    Among the universal coding problems, Bayes Coding is one of the most active subject in the research field of recent data compaction. The Bayes Coding Algorithms for FSMX sources proposed in the recent researches use a fixed-depth context tree. In this paper, we study the compression ratio of the newly proposed algorithm which uses a variable-depth context tree, and investigate the difference of redundancy caused by prior probability distribution of prameters.

  • A Bayes coding algorithm for Markov models

    MATSUSHIMA Toshiyasu, HIRASAWA Shigeichi

    IEICE technical report. Information theory   95 ( 79 ) 1 - 6  1995.05

     View Summary

    The optimal universal code for FSMX sources with respect to Bayes redundancy criterion is deduced under the condition that the model, the probabilistic parameters and the initial state are unknown. The efficient algorithm of the optimal code is also proposed by using a context tree. Although the context tree weighting(CTW) algorithm needs the context in the initial situation and can not treat the infinite depth context tree, this algorithm is free from these problems. The algorithm is not only Bayes optimal for FSMX sources but also asymptotically optimal for a stationary ergodic sources. Moreover the algorithm is regarded as a generalization of the Ziv-Lempel algorithm.

    This paper discusses an inductive learning method in probabilistic model which is applied to diagnostic system.In this system empirical knowledge is learned from given data as the probability distribution of the failures,and tests are selected according to this knowledge.We use presumption tree to represent the probability distribution,and adopt the MDL principle to select a presumption tree as themost approximate one.But,since the probability distribution becomes complicated,complexity of model selection increases exponentially with number of attributes So it requires an effcient search technique. In this paper,we propose a new effcient algorithm to search the optimal presumption tree which minimize it′s description length.An d we show that our algorithm gives a supplement of the weakness of the conventional algorithm.

The ID3 is proposed by J.R.Quinlan as a method for constructing the decision t e.However the correlation of two or more attributes can not take into account.because only one attribute paid attention in each step of the generation process of the tree.As a result,it is not guaranteed that the average number of questions using the generated rule is minimized.We propose a new algorithm which enables to consider the relationship between two or more attributes in each step of the generation process of the tree.And it is shown a more efficient decision tree can be constructed.

    The problem of learning a concept from examples in the model introduced by Valiant is discussed.According to the traditional ways of thinking,it is assumed that the learnability is independent of theoccurence probability qf instance.By utilizing this probability,we propose the metric as a new measure to determine the complexity,of hypothesis space.The metric measures the hardness of discrimination between hypotheses. Furthermore,we obtain the average metric dependent on prior information.This metric is the measure of complexity for hypothesis space in the average.Similarly in the worst case,we obtain the minimum metric. We make clear the relationship between these measures and the Vapnik-Chervonenkis(VC)dimension.Finally,we show the upper bound on sample complexity utilizing the metric.This results can be applied in the discussion on the learnability of the class with an infinite VC dimension.

    A decoding algorithm which executes maximum likelihood decoding(MLD)by using bounded distance decoding is known as a soft- decision decoding.However a problem is to reduce complexity of bounded distance decoding to execute MLD.On the other hand,GMD decoding is well known as an apfioximate of MLD.Recently GMD decoding in which an algebraic decoding is executed only once has been developed.In this paper we propose efficient MLD algorithm by using GMD decoding for several times.We also show that complexity for calculating syrifirome can be reduced when we use algebraic decoding several times required for soft-decision decoding. Moreover we provide an efficient algorithm to generate the sequences to be decoded to a maximum likelihood Cpdeword more efficiently.We show that the decoding complexity can be considerably reduced in the computer simulations.

    In the research area on knowledge information processing, knowledge acquisition from experts becomes an important problem to construct efficient expert systems.On the other hand,the method for learning rules from examples is also important.Using rules given from a finite set examples,we should represent uncertain knowledge with range of certain factors.If we can combine knowledge given from experts with knowledge given from examples,we can establish more reliable knowledge.In this paper,we propose a new method that update the knowledge based on experts by using examples,provided that additional examples have noises in the observation.

    We discuss the method for representing uncertain knowledge information and also on a reasoning system that guarantees a given reliability based on information theory and probability theory. In this paper, we propose a new reasoning system which consists of inductive and deductive inferences, by using a knowledge representation method with a range of certainty factors. In inductive inference, a new atom is computed from the observed data or facts, together with the upperbound and lowerbound between which its probability must fall. Also in deductive inference, which includes negation, conjunction, disjunction, chain and modus ponens, a new atom is deduced with a range of certainty factors computed from the results of inductive inference. Properties and behaviors of the system are clarified. It can be concluded that the new reasoning system is effective of conventional expert systems.

    The ARQ is an error control scheme such that,if the receiver decides that the received information is not reliable,he can request the same information repeated.Some kinds of ARQ schemes do not disacard non-reliable informaion,but cumulating it to make use of powerful decision if the next received sequence should be decoded or not.This idea can be considered as a sequential decision with the cumulating rejected information.The well-Known Wald′s sequntial ratio test,which can make most powerful decision if sample size is variable,have the same principle like these kinds of ARQ.In this paper,we try to evaluate the ARQ cumulating rejected information with the random coding argument like Forney£7 !′s as possible.So we study the error exponent of decoding the 2nd inform under the condision of the 1st inform is rejected.

    Information networks can be represented by graphs in which the set of vertices corresponds to the nodes in the networks and that of the edges corresponds to the links.Based on such a model,the efficient construction of information networks,for which the transmisson delay is short and the realiability is high,has been studied from graph theorical approach.This problem is to construct a network with high realiability(node connectivity k)and quasiminimal maximum transmission delay(diameter),when the number of nodes(vertices n)and that of the neighboring nodes(degrees k) are given.Original studies have been devoted to obtain high realiability sacrificing the long delay.In this paper,we propose a new method for constructing of information networks for which the delay is shorter in a limitation and show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

     View Summary

     情報検索システムの数学的モデルを用いて,多くの情報クラスタリングや情報分類手法が研究されている.本研究では,主として文書のクラスタリングと分類問題を対象に,最適なアルゴリズムの構築を目指した. 数年前から開始した学生アンケート分析において,学生のクラス分けに用いる手法としてProbabilistic Latent Semantic Indexing (PLSI)モデルを利用した方式を提案し,実問題に適用してきた.提案方式の性能は,従来のベクトル空間モデルやLSIモデルなどに比べ優れたものであり,有効な分析結果を導いてきた.しかし,従来方式に対し比較的良好な性能を実現できたものの,学生アンケートから得られる文書数は学生数に等しく,したがって30-150程度の比較的小規模の文書集合で特に性能の良いクラスタリング・分類方式が必要である. そこで,学習文書数が小さな場合でも良い性能が期待できるベイズ決定理論を用いたアルゴリズムに着目し,その構築を図った.主成分分析に基づく単語文書行列の次元を圧縮することにより単語の共起を考慮しつつ行列のスパースネスによる雑音を除去し,圧縮次元数の混合分布を用いた新しいアルゴリズムを提案した.これは従来の圧縮しない場合と圧縮次元を固定とする場合を含み,自動的に最適な次元数を求める機構を含んでいる.しかし,残念ながら学習文書数の小さな領域では理論的に最適性を示すことは難しく,実験による比較に止まっている.

     次の各項を研究目的とした.それぞれに得られた結果・成果,残された課題を記述する.(1) 潜在的意味空間インデクシング(LSI)モデルの評価   LSIモデルは文書ベクトルが作る空間の代数的な手法(Singular Value Decomposition)による次元圧縮モデルである.情報処理学会が提供するベンチマーク文書集合データに適用した結果,分類性能は(圧縮前の)ベクトル空間モデルより優れるものの,その改善度合いは小さく,次に述べるPLSIモデルに劣ることが判明した.ただし,ベンチマークデータは約5000文書の小規模なもので,大規模で検索システムへの適用は今後の課題である.(2) 確率的潜在意味インデキシング(PLSI)モデルの拡張   代数的な次元圧縮を確率的手法に置き換えたPLSIモデルに基づく分類アルゴリズム・クラスタリングアルゴリズムを提案し,その評価を行った.(1)で述べたベンチマークに適用し,文書集合の規模が大きくなるに従い性能は劣化するが,小規模な文書集合には良い性能を示すことを明らかにした.提案アルゴリズムはある条件の下にベイズ最適になっており,振る舞いをベイズ決定理論に基づいて再構築し,最適な隠れ状態数を決定することは今後の課題である.(3) 選択型質問と記述型質問が混在するアンケートからの知識発見   (2)で確認したPLSIモデルの良好な性能を,実データとして収集した授業改善のためのアンケート分析に用いた.担当する学部2年必修科目「コンピュータ工学」に適用した.授業モデルを示し,アンケートから得た学生の顕在的・暗黙的特性を入力と,学生の成績・満足度(これもアンケートより抽出する)を出力とするモデルの因果関係を明らかにした.残念ながら授業開始前のアンケート結果からのみで「クラス分け」などの授業運営方法を導くことは不可能であるが,講義の進め方・中間テストや演習に対する学生の考え方などの授業運営に有効な知識が得られることを示した.また,昨年春に行ったMNCのWEB科目登録のアンケート分析にも利用し,学生の要望を抽出した.(4) 台湾における学生アンケートの実施と分析   本学で実施したアンケート分析結果を2006年春に台湾で開催された国際セミナーと淡江大学の集中講義で発表・紹介した.これを機会に,本年度台湾の学生からもアンケートを求めることにした.日台共同で日本語と中国語の言語横断検索システムの研究をスタートさせ,アンケート分析に取り組むことになっている.
