A novel semi-supervised learning rolling bearing fault diagnosis method based on SNNGAN

In practical industrial environments, rotating machinery typically operates under normal conditions. As a result, the signals collected are primarily normal signals. This imbalance in the sample data diminishes the effectiveness of fault diagnosis. To address this issue, this paper produces a novel semi-supervised fault diagnosis approach based on a Siamese neural network combined with a generative adversarial network (SNNGAN) to enhance classification accuracy. Firstly, vibration signals collected are subjected to continuous wavelet transformation to obtain time–frequency representations, which are utilized for pre-training convolutional encoders in the generator and discriminator. Subsequently, a cosine similarity algorithm is employed to ensure the quality of generated samples. For generated data, set a similarity threshold. Those surpassing the threshold are assigned their corresponding labels and added to the original sample set. Otherwise, those falling below the threshold are transformed back into vibration vectors through an inverse transform and then serve as input to create new samples. Finally, fault diagnosis experiments are conducted on the newly balanced data set. In four imbalanced data experiments, the results demonstrate that SNNGAN outperforms other methods in average accuracy, G-mean, and F1 score, with average accuracy values of 0.919, 0.948, 0.927, and 0.953 for the respective datasets. Therefore, SNNGAN exhibits outstanding fault diagnosis performance under conditions of data imbalance.

Enhance micro-Doppler signatures-based human activity classification accuracy of FMCW radar using the threshold method

Nowadays, radar-based human activity classification is being widely adopted in healthcare systems due to its benefits in terms of personal privacy compliance, non-contact sensing, and being unaffected by weather conditions. This study proposes a threshold method in the pre-processing stage to improve human activity classification accuracy by determining the region of meaningful information (RMI) on the spectrogram. Initially, a mask function, which is created by a certain threshold value, is applied to the input spectrogram to highlight the RMI from the micro-Doppler (m-D) signatures. Only the highlighted RMI on the spectrogram is retained as input to the classifiers. Then, five Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) of varying complexity are employed to extract features, identify activities, and assess the effectiveness of the suggested approach. The experimental results demonstrate that the suggested approach has enhanced classification accuracy by up to 11% when compared to the original unprocessed dataset.

Enhancing Classification Accuracy with Integrated Contextual Gate Network: Deep Learning Approach for Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Brain-Computer Interface Application.

Brain-computer interface (BCI) systems include signal acquisition, preprocessing, feature extraction, classification, and an application phase. In fNIRS-BCI systems, deep learning (DL) algorithms play a crucial role in enhancing accuracy. Unlike traditional machine learning (ML) classifiers, DL algorithms eliminate the need for manual feature extraction. DL neural networks automatically extract hidden patterns/features within a dataset to classify the data. In this study, a hand-gripping (closing and opening) two-class motor activity dataset from twenty healthy participants is acquired, and an integrated contextual gate network (ICGN) algorithm (proposed) is applied to that dataset to enhance the classification accuracy. The proposed algorithm extracts the features from the filtered data and generates the patterns based on the information from the previous cells within the network. Accordingly, classification is performed based on the similar generated patterns within the dataset. The accuracy of the proposed algorithm is compared with the long short-term memory (LSTM) and bidirectional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM). The proposed ICGN algorithm yielded a classification accuracy of 91.23 ± 1.60%, which is significantly (p < 0.025) higher than the 84.89 ± 3.91 and 88.82 ± 1.96 achieved by LSTM and Bi-LSTM, respectively. An open access, three-class (right- and left-hand finger tapping and dominant foot tapping) dataset of 30 subjects is used to validate the proposed algorithm. The results show that ICGN can be efficiently used for the classification of two- and three-class problems in fNIRS-based BCI applications.

Classification of ECG Signals Using Machine Learning Techniques

Cardiovascular diseases are one of the leading causes of mortality in contemporary society. With the growth in the accumulation of medical data, new opportunities have arisen to enhance diagnostic accuracy using machine learning techniques. Heart diseases present symptoms that can be similar to other disorders or be mistaken for signs of aging. Furthermore, diagnosing based on electrocardiogram (ECG) signals can be challenging due to the variability in signal length and characteristics. This article has developed a methodology for classifying ECG signals using the k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) algorithm and statistical techniques. 9000 ECG signal samples from the PhysioNet database were processed. The signals were normalized to a length of 9000 samples, and relevant features for classification, such as median, standard deviation, skewness, among others, were extracted. Multiple kNN models with different parameters were trained and evaluated on a test set. The models exhibited high performance in classifying normal signals but faced difficulties in correctly classifying signals with arrhythmias. The weighted kNN algorithm demonstrated the best accuracy, although all models showed a tendency to misclassify abnormal signals due to data imbalance. While significant accuracy was achieved in ECG signal classification, there is still room for improvement. Future strategies could involve extracting more relevant features, addressing data imbalance, and fine-tuning model hyperparameters. Integrating domain knowledge from the medical field and advanced signal processing techniques could further enhance classification accuracy.

A hybrid 1D CNN-BiLSTM model for epileptic seizure detection using multichannel EEG feature fusion

Epilepsy, a chronic non-communicable disease is characterized by repeated unprovoked seizures, which are transient episodes of abnormal electrical activity in the brain. While Electroencephalography (EEG) is considered as the gold standard for diagnosis in current clinical practice, manual inspection of EEG is time consuming and biased. This paper presents a novel hybrid 1D CNN-Bi LSTM feature fusion model for automatically detecting seizures. The proposed model leverages spatial features extracted by one dimensional convolutional neural network and temporal features extracted by bi directional long short-term memory network. Ictal and inter ictal data is first acquired from the long multichannel EEG record. The acquired data is segmented and labelled using small fixed windows. Signal features are then extracted from the segments concurrently by the parallel combination of CNN and Bi-LSTM. The spatial and temporal features thus captured are then fused to enhance classification accuracy of model. The approach is validated using benchmark CHB-MIT dataset and 5-fold cross validation which resulted in an average accuracy of 95.90%, with precision 94.78%, F1 score 95.95%. Notably model achieved average sensitivity of 97.18% with false positivity rate at 0.05/hr. The significantly lower false positivity and false negativity rates indicate that the proposed model is a promising tool for detecting seizures in epilepsy patients. The employed parallel path network benefits from memory function of Bi-LSTM and strong feature extraction capabilities of CNN. Moreover, eliminating the need for any domain transformation or additional preprocessing steps, model effectively reduces complexity and enhances efficiency, making it suitable for use by clinicians during the epilepsy diagnostic process.

Efficient Feature Learning Model of Motor Imagery EEG Signals with L1-Norm and Weighted Fusion.

Brain-computer interface (BCI) for motor imagery is an advanced technology used in the field of medical rehabilitation. However, due to the poor accuracy of electroencephalogram feature classification, BCI systems often misrecognize user commands. Although many state-of-the-art feature selection methods aim to enhance classification accuracy, they usually overlook the interrelationships between individual features, indirectly impacting the accuracy of feature classification. To overcome this issue, we propose an adaptive feature learning model that employs a Riemannian geometric approach to generate a feature matrix from electroencephalogram signals, serving as the model's input. By integrating the enhanced adaptive L1 penalty and weighted fusion penalty into the sparse learning model, we select the most informative features from the matrix. Specifically, we measure the importance of features using mutual information and introduce an adaptive weight construction strategy to penalize regression coefficients corresponding to each variable adaptively. Moreover, the weighted fusion penalty balances weight differences among correlated variables, reducing the model's overreliance on specific variables and enhancing accuracy. The performance of the proposed method was validated on BCI Competition IV datasets IIa and IIb using the support vector machine. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed model compared to the existing models.

Adaptive Threshold and Weighted Frequency Domain Histogram of Local Binary Patterns

Wire ropes are crucial load-bearing components in mining conveyance equipment, and machine vision is one of the methods used to assess the surface damage condition of wire ropes. In response to the light-sensitive nature of local binary patterns, which leads to issues such as differing feature values for similar textures and susceptibility to the influence of excessively large or small pixels within local windows, hindering the accurate reflection of window structure information and exacerbating the introduction of considerable feature noise, an investigation is conducted. To enhance the gradient structural information among pixels within local pixel window, an adaptive threshold binary pattern feature operator is proposed. This operator utilizes the mean and variance within the local window to balance the central pixel value, thereby enhancing the interconnection among neighboring pixels. To perform feature selection on block histograms, a block-weighted approach is employed. This approach utilizes the concept of block weighting and employs correlation coefficients to preprocess feature vectors, thereby enhancing classification accuracy. The algorithm experiments were conducted on a dataset of mine wire ropes. The results indicate that the improved local binary pattern significantly enhances the classification accuracy of the wire rope dataset, achieving an accuracy of 97.3%.
