Abstract

Objective: The objective of this paper is to find the inconsistent objects in data which has high dimension through reduced computation time and increased accuracy. Methods: Hubness specifically Antihubs (points that rarely occur in k nearest neighbor lists) is the newly recognized concept for handling data which has high dimension. The advanced version of Antihub is Antihub2 which is for reconsidering the outlier score of a point obtained by the Antihub method. However, regarding computation time, Antihub2 runs slower. This paper institutes an approach called AdaptiveAntihub2Clust, which is a clustered Adaptive Antihub technique for unsupervised outlier detection to reduce computation time and to improve the accuracy. Findings: The results of an existing Antihub2 method is compared with the proposed method called AdaptiveAntihub2Clust. The experimental results elucidate that AdaptiveAntihub2Clust outperforms well than Antihub2 and also resolved that there is not only a substantial decrease in computation time but also progress in accuracy occurred while the newly built approach is practically used for finding outliers. Applications: The irrelevant objects may ascend due to numerous faults. Detection of such objects identifies the mistakes and fraud before they deteriorate with terrible significances and cleanses the data for further processing.

Abstract

Contract Bridge is an intellectual game which motivates multiple skills and application of prior experience and knowledge, as no player knows accurately what moves other players are capable of making. The Bridge is a game played in the presence of imperfect information, yet its strategies must be well formulated, since the outcome at any intermediate stage is solely based on the choices made during the immediately preceding phase. In this paper, we train an Artificial Neural Network architecture using sample deals and use it to estimate the number of tricks to be taken by one pair of bridge players, which is the main challenge in the Double Dummy Bridge Problem. We focus on Back Propagation Neural Network Architecture with Back Propagation Algorithm with Sigmoidal transfer functions. We used two approaches namely, High - Card Point Count System and Distribution Point Method during the bidding phase of Contract Bridge. We experimented with two sigmoidal transfer functions namely, Log Sigmoid transfer function and the Hyperbolic Tangent Sigmoid function. Results reveal that the later performs better giving lower mean squared error on the output.
