RESEARCH PROJECT:
Title: Refining Hidden Markov Models Using Recurrent Neural Networks
This is my Ph.D research project with the support of Center of Excellence at the Machine Learning
and Intelligent Systems Lab, Department of Computer Science, University of the Western Cape, Cape Town,
South Africa.
Designing the systems that can learn with the Intelligence is a very unique field of research in
Computer Science. Machine Learning is a branch of Artificial Intelligence, which is concerned with the
design, and development of algorithms that allow computers to evolve behaviors based on empirical data. A
major focus of machine learning research is to automatically learn to recognize complex patterns and make
intelligent decisions based on data
The objective of my thesis is to improve the sequence or pattern recognition/classification
performance by applying a hybrid neural-symbolic approach. The aim of this project is to develop an
architecture using the symbolic-connectionist framework and design a learning algorithm. This must be
implemented and test on sample test beds and as well as on real time applications. These can be applied in
Bio-informatics, Bio-metrics, Speech Recognition, Robotics, Data Mining and so on. Briefly, modelling
2
families of related DNA or protein sequences, prediction of protein-coding regions in genome sequences,
Gesture Recognition, Handwritten Signature Recognition, Speech Recognition, Time Series Analysis and so
on. Through knowledge based systems, we will insert the prior knowledge, refine and extract the symbolic
knowledge from the trained networks.
Designed software, which will implement the hybrid architecture using the developed algorithm and
implemented on sample test beds. I used VC++, Matlab, automata theory and its simulators, bioinformatics
tools to implement the system. Right now, I am in the advanced stage of submitting my thesis.
CONFERENCES & PUBLICATIONS:
• Attended conference in Machine Learning and Bio-informatics in 2007.
• Attended few Microsoft and Open Source Conferences in 2008, 2009, 2010.
