About: Automatic Analysis of Malware Behavior using Machine Learning

Support for new version of libarchive. Minor bug fixes.

About: LIBOL is an open-source library with a family of state-of-the-art online learning algorithms for machine learning and big data analytics research. The current version supports 16 online algorithms for binary classification and 13 online algorithms for multiclass classification.

In contrast to our last version (V0.2.3), the new version (V0.3.0) has made some important changes as follows:

• Add a template and guide for adding new algorithms;

• Improve parameter settings and make documentation clear;

• Improve documentation on data formats and key functions;

• Amend the "OGD" function to use different loss types;

• Fixed some name inconsistency and other minor bugs.

About: Bob is a free signal-processing and machine learning toolbox originally developed by the Biometrics group at Idiap Research Institute, in Switzerland.

Bob 1.2.0 comes about 1 year after we released Bob 1.0.0. This new release comes with a big set of new features and lots of changes under the hood to make your experiments run even smoother. Some statistics:

Diff URL: https://github.com/idiap/bob/compare/v1.1.4...HEAD Commits: 629 Files changed: 954 Contributors: 7

Here is a quick list of things you should pay attention for while integrating your satellite packages against Bob 1.2.x:

• The LBP module had its API changed look at the online docs for more details
• LLRTrainer has been renamed to CGLogRegTrainer
• The order in which you pass data to CGLogRegTrainer has been inverted (negatives now go first)
• For C++ bindings, includes are in bob/python instead of bob/core/python
• All specialized Bob exceptions are gone, if you were catching them, most have been cast into std::runtime_error's

About: FABIA is a biclustering algorithm that clusters rows and columns of a matrix simultaneously. Consequently, members of a row cluster are similar to each other on a subset of columns and, analogously, members of a column cluster are similar to each other on a subset of rows. Biclusters are found by factor analysis where both the factors and the loading matrix are sparse. FABIA is a multiplicative model that extracts linear dependencies between samples and feature patterns. Applications include detection of transcriptional modules in gene expression data and identification of haplotypes/>identity by descent< consisting of rare variants obtained by next generation sequencing.

CHANGES IN VERSION 2.8.0

NEW FEATURES

o rescaling of lapla
o extractPlot does not plot sorted matrices

CHANGES IN VERSION 2.4.0

o spfabia bugfixes

CHANGES IN VERSION 2.3.1

NEW FEATURES

o Getters and setters for class Factorization

2.0.0:

• spfabia: fabia for a sparse data matrix (in sparse matrix format) and sparse vector/matrix computations in the code to speed up computations. spfabia applications: (a) detecting >identity by descent< in next generation sequencing data with rare variants, (b) detecting >shared haplotypes< in disease studies based on next generation sequencing data with rare variants;
• fabia for non-negative factorization (parameter: non_negative);
• changed to C and removed dependencies to Rcpp;

• introduced maximal number of row elements (lL);
• introduced cycle bL when upper bounds nL or lL are effective;
• reduced computational complexity;
• bug fixes: (a) update formula for lambda: tighter approximation, (b) corrected inverse of the conditional covariance matrix of z;

1.4.0:

• New option nL: maximal number of biclusters per row element;
• Sort biclusters according to information content;
• Improved and extended preprocessing;
• Update to R2.13

About: The VLFeat open source library implements popular computer vision algorithms including affine covariant feature detectors, HOG, SIFT, MSER, k-means, hierarchical k-means, agglomerative information bottleneck, SLIC superpixels, and quick shift. It is written in C for efficiency and compatibility, with interfaces in MATLAB for ease of use, and detailed documentation throughout. It supports Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. The latest version of VLFeat is 0.9.16.

VLFeat 0.9.16: Added VL_COVDET() (covariant feature detectors). This function implements the following detectors: DoG, Hessian, Harris Laplace, Hessian Laplace, Multiscale Hessian, Multiscale Harris. It also implements affine adaptation, estiamtion of feature orientation, computation of descriptors on the affine patches (including raw patches), and sourcing of custom feature frame. Addet the auxiliary function VL_PLOTSS(). This is the second point update supported by the PASCAL Harvest programme.

VLFeat 0.9.15: Added VL_HOG() (HOG features). Added VL_SVMPEGASOS() and a vastly improved SVM implementation. Added IHASHSUM (hashed counting). Improved INTHIST (integral histogram). Added VL_CUMMAX(). Improved the implementation of VL_ROC() and VL_PR(). Added VL_DET() (Detection Error Trade-off (DET) curves). Improved the verbosity control to AIB. Added support for Xcode 4.3, improved support for past and future Xcode versions. Completed the migration of the old test code in toolbox/test, moving the functionality to the new unit tests toolbox/xtest. Improved credits. This is the first point update supported by the PASCAL Harvest (several more to come shortly).
