Rapid Recognizing the Producing Area of a Tobacco Leaf Using Near-Infrared Technology and a Multi-Layer Extreme Learning Machine Algorithm

A novel recognition method was put forward to identify the producing areas of the flue-cured tobacco leaves rapidly and non-destructively by using a near-infrared (NIR) spectrometer and a multi-layer-extreme learning machine (ML-ELM) algorithm. In contrast to traditional linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and extreme learning machine (ELM) algorithms, the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity were the highest for the proposed ML-ELM algorithm. The ML-ELM models for different producing areas of Yunnan tobacco leaves had the best generalization ability and prediction results. Besides, the above three algorithms were also identified by using the chemical index data. The experimental results indicated that the NIR spectroscopy technology together with ML-ELM algorithm achieved the best prediction performance both using the NIR spectral data and chemical index data. It indicates that the combination of NIR and ML-ELM can recognize different producing areas of Yunnan tobacco leaves rapidly, accurately, and non-destructively.

Quantitative computed tomography imaging-based classification of cement dust-exposed subjects with an artificial neural network technique

Background and objectiveCement dust exposure is likely to affect the structural and functional alterations in segmental airways and parenchymal lungs. This study develops an artificial neural network (ANN) model for identifying cement dust-exposed (CDE) subjects using quantitative computed tomography-based airway structural and functional features. MethodsWe obtained the airway features in five central and five sub-grouped segmental regions and the lung features in five lobar regions and one total lung region from 311 CDE and 298 non-CDE (NCDE) subjects. The five-fold cross-validation method was adopted to train the following classification models:ANN, support vector machine (SVM), logistic regression (LR), and decision tree (DT). For all the classification models, linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and genetic algorithm (GA) were applied for dimensional reduction and hyperparameterization, respectively. The ANN model without LDA was also optimized by the GA method to observe the effect of the dimensional reduction. ResultsThe genetically optimized ANN model without the LDA method was the best in terms of the classification accuracy. The accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the GA–ANN model with four layers were greater than those of the other classification models (i.e., ANN, SVM, LR, and DT using LDA and GA methods) in the five-fold cross-validation. The average values of accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity for the five-fold cross-validation were 97.0%, 98.7%, and 98.6%, respectively. ConclusionsWe demonstrated herein that a quantitative computed tomography-based ANN model could more effectively detect CDE subjects when compared to their counterpart models. By employing the model, the CDE subjects may be identified early for therapeutic intervention.

Electricity consumption pattern analysis beyond traditional clustering methods: A novel self-adapting semi-supervised clustering method and application case study

The fast-paced informatization of power systems across the world provides an unprecedented amount of data, which greatly facilitates their study and offers in turn the possibility to assist in the transition towards truly smart, low-carbon energy systems. In this context, the use of clustering methods for the study of household Electricity Consumption Behaviour (ECB) proves highly beneficial as it facilitates, among other things, more effective deployment of distributed renewable energy assets, development of differentiated tariff policies and load forecasting. However, the similarity metrics used in traditional clustering methods have difficulties in accurately capturing the time variability of electrical load profiles. In order to address this problem, we developed a novel semi-supervised automatic clustering method based on a self-adapting metric learning process. The proposed method is a bespoke application to the analysis of electricity demand load patterns that combines the recently developed Deep Linear Discriminant Analysis algorithm for supervised learning with the data-adaptive Affinity Propagation clustering algorithm (DLDA + AP), and achieves high-quality automatic clustering with an accuracy that is 75 percentage points higher than traditional methods such as k-means, on average. Based on this bespoke method, a unified load dictionary which captures the mainstream daily electricity consumption patterns of 5566 households in London was produced. Through the analysis of the load dictionary and household daily electricity consumption, it’s possible to build a complete ECB profile for the households in the sample dataset. Furthermore, combining the 206 household properties which were found to be strongly correlated with the ECB, this method provides a practical approach to residential customer segmentation for the electricity market.

Evaluation of Various DR Techniques in Massive Patient Datasets using HDFS

The objective of comparing various dimensionality techniques is to reduce feature sets in order to group attributes effectively with less computational processing time and utilization of memory. The various reduction algorithms can decrease the dimensionality of dataset consisting of a huge number of interrelated variables, while retaining the dissimilarity present in the dataset as much as possible. In this paper we use, Standard Deviation, Variance, Principal Component Analysis, Linear Discriminant Analysis, Factor Analysis, Positive Region, Information Entropy and Independent Component Analysis reduction algorithms using Hadoop Distributed File System for massive patient datasets to achieve lossless data reduction and to acquire required knowledge. The experimental results demonstrate that the ICA technique can efficiently operate on massive datasets eliminates irrelevant data without loss of accuracy, reduces storage space for the data and also the computation time compared to other techniques.

Quantitative Evaluation of Gymnastics Based on Multiple MEMS Sensors

The quantitative evaluation of sports motions is a precondition for scientific training and data-driven professional athletic motion analyses. However, the <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">high accuracy</i> and the <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">portability</i> of the evaluation schemes are contradictory and it is difficult to simultaneously improve both metrics in one device. In this work, we propose an effective gymnastics motion recognition and evaluation system to solve this problem. The system is a sensor network composed of 11 acceleration and angular velocity sensors. The gymnastics data obtained from each sensor node can be uploaded in real-time via Wi-Fi. The data from different sensor nodes on the body is used to form the corresponding gymnastics motion recognition data sets. Using these sensor node data and the linear discriminant analysis (LDA) algorithm, 6 different sets gymnastics motions could be recognized at an accuracy of 99.18%. Experimental results also showed that, by combining only the data from the left arm sensor node and the right foot sensor node as the gymnastic motion evaluation data set, the LDA algorithm could be used to evaluate three gymnastics motions, all of which delivered an accuracy of no less than 96.0%. This evaluation system meets the needs for accuracy and portability at the same time, and potentially can be extended to evaluate other physical activities, such as yoga and Tai Chi.

MRI-Based Machine Learning in Differentiation Between Benign and Malignant Breast Lesions.

BackgroundDifferential diagnosis between benign and malignant breast lesions is of crucial importance relating to follow-up treatment. Recent development in texture analysis and machine learning may lead to a new solution to this problem.MethodThis current study enrolled a total number of 265 patients (benign breast lesions:malignant breast lesions = 71:194) diagnosed in our hospital and received magnetic resonance imaging between January 2014 and August 2017. Patients were randomly divided into the training group and validation group (4:1), and two radiologists extracted their texture features from the contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images. We performed five different feature selection methods including Distance correlation, Gradient Boosting Decision Tree (GBDT), least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), random forest (RF), eXtreme gradient boosting (Xgboost) and five independent classification models were built based on Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) algorithm.ResultsAll five models showed promising results to discriminate malignant breast lesions from benign breast lesions, and the areas under the curve (AUCs) of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) were all above 0.830 in both training and validation groups. The model with a better discriminating ability was the combination of LDA + gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT). The sensitivity, specificity, AUC, and accuracy in the training group were 0.814, 0.883, 0.922, and 0.868, respectively; LDA + random forest (RF) also suggests promising results with the AUC of 0.906 in the training group.ConclusionThe evidence of this study, while preliminary, suggested that a combination of MRI texture analysis and LDA algorithm could discriminate benign breast lesions from malignant breast lesions. Further multicenter researches in this field would be of great help in the validation of the result.

Research on Prediction Algorithm of Employees’ Psychological Stress Based on Multifeature Fusion

A multifeature fusion-based enterprise employee psychological stress prediction algorithm is suggested to address the concerns of low prediction accuracy, long duration, and poor results in current psychological stress prediction approaches. Examine ECG signal generation and properties, as well as the notion and causes of heart rate variability. The ECG signal is gathered according to the psychological stress reaction mechanism, and the digital filter is utilized to filter and preprocess the noise interference of the ECG signal. The linear discriminant analysis algorithm extracts the time domain linear features, frequency domain linear features, and nonlinear features of the ECG signal and then selects the ECG signal characteristics. D-S evidence theory is used to fuse the time domain linear characteristics, frequency domain linear characteristics, and nonlinear characteristics of the ECG signal, construct the psychological stress prediction model, obtain the final result of psychological stress state prediction, and realize the psychological stress prediction of enterprise employees, all based on multifeature fusion technology. The results of the experiments reveal that the suggested algorithm has a greater predictive effect on employee psychological stress, allowing it to enhance forecast accuracy and reduce prediction time.

Chemometrics analysis for the detection of dental caries via UV absorption spectroscopy

Caries is one of the non-communicable diseases that has a high prevalence trend. The current methods used to detect caries require sophisticated laboratory equipment, professional inspection, and expensive equipment such as X-ray imaging device. A non-invasive and economical method is required to substitute the conventional methods for the detection of caries. UV absorption spectroscopy coupled with chemometrics analysis has emerged as a good potential candidate for such an application. Data preprocessing methods such as mean centre, autoscale and Savitzky-Golay smoothing were implemented to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio of spectra data. Various classification algorithms namely K-nearest neighbours (KNN), logistic regression (LR) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) were implemented to classify the severity of dental caries into International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) scores. The performance of the prediction model was measured and comparatively analysed based on the accuracy, precision, sensitivity, and specificity. The LDA algorithm combined with the Savitzky-Golay preprocessing method had shown the best result with respect to the validation data accuracy, precision, sensitivity and specificity, where each had values of 0.90, 1.00, 0.86 and 1.00 respectively. The area under the curve of the ROC plot computed for the LDA algorithm was 0.95, which indicated that the prediction algorithm was capable of differentiating normal and caries teeth excellently.

A Study on the Classification Effect of sEMG Signals in Different Vibration Environments Based on the LDA Algorithm.

Myoelectric prosthesis has become an important aid to disabled people. Although it can help people to recover to a nearly normal life, whether they can adapt to severe working conditions is a subject that is yet to be studied. Generally speaking, the working environment is dominated by vibration. This paper takes the gripping action as its research object, and focuses on the identification of grasping intentions under different vibration frequencies in different working conditions. In this way, the possibility of the disabled people who wear myoelectric prosthesis to work in various vibration environment is studied. In this paper, an experimental test platform capable of simulating 0–50 Hz vibration was established, and the Surface Electromyography (sEMG) signals of the human arm in the open and grasping states were obtained through the MP160 physiological record analysis system. Considering the reliability of human intention recognition and the rapidity of algorithm processing, six different time-domain features and the Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) classifier were selected as the sEMG signal feature extraction and recognition algorithms in this paper. When two kinds of features, Zero Crossing (ZC) and Root Mean Square (RMS), were used as input, the accuracy of LDA algorithm can reach 96.9%. When three features, RMS, Minimum Value (MIN), and Variance (VAR), were used as inputs, the accuracy of the LDA algorithm can reach 98.0%. When the six features were used as inputs, the accuracy of the LDA algorithm reached 98.4%. In the analysis of different vibration frequencies, it was found that when the vibration frequency reached 20 Hz, the average accuracy of the LDA algorithm in recognizing actions was low, while at 0 Hz, 40 Hz and 50 Hz, the average accuracy was relatively high. This is of great significance in guiding disabled people to work in a vibration environment in the future.

Pilot study on the value of Raman spectroscopy in the entity assignment of salivary gland tumors.

The entity assignment of salivary gland tumors (SGT) based on histomorphology can be challenging. Raman spectroscopy has been applied to analyze differences in the molecular composition of tissues. The aim of this study was to evaluate the suitability of RS for entity assignment in SGT. Raman data were collected in deparaffinized sections of pleomorphic adenomas (PA) and adenoid cystic carcinomas (ACC). Multivariate data and chemometric analysis were completed using the Unscrambler software. The Raman spectra detected in ACC samples were mostly assigned to nucleic acids, lipids, and amides. In a principal component-based linear discriminant analysis (LDA) 18 of 20 tumor samples were classified correctly. In this proof of concept study, we show that a reliable SGT diagnosis based on LDA algorithm appears possible, despite variations in the entity-specific mean spectra. However, a standardized workflow for tissue sample preparation, measurement setup, and chemometric algorithms is essential to get reliable results.

Quality assessment of Fritillariae cirrhosae using portable NIR spectrometer

This paper mainly focuses on the feasibility of rapidly identifying Fritillariae cirrhosae varieties, distinguishing its authenticity and detecting its components by using a portable near infrared (NIR) spectrometer. Five different varieties of Fritillariae cirrhosae, five common counterfeits and two main components (ethanol-soluble extractives and total alkaloids) were studied. The reference values of ethanol-soluble extractives were determined by hot dip method and the reference value of total alkaloid was determined by ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometry (UV–Vis). Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) algorithm was used to identify the sources of different varieties of Fritillariae cirrhosae and the common counterfeits of Fritillariae cirrhosae, respectively. As a result, the best models seemed to be effective, with accuracy of the two models' prediction sets reaches 83.33% and 90.91%, respectively. The partial least squares regression (PLSR) algorithm was used to relate the sample spectra with the reference values of ethanol-soluble extractives and total alkaloid content. Coefficient of determination of prediction (R2p) and root mean square errors of prediction (RMSEP) obtained were 0.8562 and 0.3911; 0.6917 and 0.0117, for ethanol-soluble extractives and total alkaloid content, respectively. The results showed that the portable NIR spectrometer could evaluate the quality of Fritillariae cirrhosae with high efficiency and practicability.

Comparison of Sensory Qualities in Eggs from Three Breeds Based on Electronic Sensory Evaluations.

The present study was conducted on three commercial laying breeder strains to evaluate differences of sensory qualities, including texture, smell, and taste parameters. A total of 140 eggs for each breed were acquired from Beinong No.2 (B) laying hens, Hy-Line Brown (H) laying hens, and Wuhei (W) laying hens. Sensory qualities of egg yolks and albumen from three breeds were detected and discriminated based on different algorithms. Texture profile analysis (TPA) showed that the eggs from three breeds had no differences in hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, and chewiness other than cohesiveness. The smell profiles measured by electronic nose illustrated that differences existed in all 10 sensors for albumen and 8 sensors for yolks. The taste profiles measured by electronic tongue found that the main difference of egg yolks and albumen existed in bitterness and astringency. Principal component analysis (PCA) successfully showed grouping of three breeds based on electronic nose data and failed in grouping based on electronic tongue data. Based on electronic nose data, linear discriminant analysis (LDA), fine k-nearest neighbor (KNN) and linear support vector machine (SVM) were performed to discriminate yolks, albumen, and the whole eggs with 100% classification accuracy. While based on electronic tongue data, the best classification accuracy was 96.7% for yolks by LDA and fine tree, 88.9% for albumen by LDA, and 87.5% for the whole eggs by fine KNN. The experiment results showed that three breeds’ eggs had main differences in smells and could be successfully discriminated by LDA, fine KNN, and linear SVM algorithms based on electronic nose.

A Three-Phase Current Tacholess Envelope Order Analysis Method for Feature Extraction of Planetary Gearbox under Variable Speed Conditions.

Planetary gearboxes are the key components of large equipment, such as wind turbines, shield machines, etc. The operating state of the planetary gearbox is related to the safety of the equipment as a whole, and its feature extraction technology is essential. In assessing the problem of the non-stationarity of the current signal under variable speed conditions and the difficulty of evaluating the operating state of the planetary gearbox under a tacholess condition, a three-phase current, variable-speed tacholess envelope order analysis method is proposed. Firstly, a tacholess rotation speed estimation is completed by extracting the trend term of the instantaneous frequency of the asynchronous motor’s three-phase currents. The motor slip rate is assumed to be constant. Then, the envelope order analysis signal is obtained by re-sampling in the angular domain. Finally, the features of the envelope order signal are extracted, and a linear discriminant analysis (LDA) algorithm is used to fuse multiple indexes to generate a comprehensive feature reflecting the operating status of the planetary gearbox. The results of the simulation analysis and experimental verification show that the proposed method is effective in evaluating the operating state of the planetary gearbox under variable speed conditions. Compared with the traditional time–frequency ridge extraction method, the tacholess speed estimation method can improve the instantaneous speed estimation accuracy. The comprehensive index of envelope order completes the planetary gearbox state identification process, and a 95% classification accuracy rate is achieved.

Education 4.0: Teaching the Basics of KNN, LDA and Simple Perceptron Algorithms for Binary Classification Problems

One of the main focuses of Education 4.0 is to provide students with knowledge on disruptive technologies, such as Machine Learning (ML), as well as the skills to implement this knowledge to solve real-life problems. Therefore, both students and professors require teaching and learning tools that facilitate the introduction to such topics. Consequently, this study looks forward to contributing to the development of those tools by introducing the basic theory behind three machine learning classifying algorithms: K-Nearest-Neighbor (KNN), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), and Simple Perceptron; as well as discussing the diverse advantages and disadvantages of each method. Moreover, it is proposed to analyze how these methods work on different conditions through their implementation over a test bench. Thus, in addition to the description of each algorithm, we discuss their application to solving three different binary classification problems using three different datasets, as well as comparing their performances in these specific case studies. The findings of this study can be used by teachers to provide students the basic knowledge of KNN, LDA, and perceptron algorithms, and, at the same time, it can be used as a guide to learn how to apply them to solve real-life problems that are not limited to the presented datasets.

Application of portrait recognition system for emergency evacuation in mass emergencies

Abstract A portrait recognition system can play an important role in emergency evacuation in mass emergencies. This paper designed a portrait recognition system, analyzed the overall structure of the system and the method of image preprocessing, and used the Single Shot MultiBox Detector (SSD) algorithm for portrait detection. It also designed an improved algorithm combining principal component analysis (PCA) with linear discriminant analysis (LDA) for portrait recognition and tested the system by applying it in a shopping mall to collect and monitor the portrait and establish a data set. The results showed that the missing detection rate and false detection rate of the SSD algorithm were 0.78 and 2.89%, respectively, which were lower than those of the AdaBoost algorithm. Comparisons with PCA, LDA, and PCA + LDA algorithms demonstrated that the recognition rate of the improved PCA + LDA algorithm was the highest, which was 95.8%, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was the largest, and the recognition time was the shortest, which was 465 ms. The experimental results show that the improved PCA + LDA algorithm is reliable in portrait recognition and can be used for emergency evacuation in mass emergencies.

Zero Flow Rate Detection of Ultrasonic Water Meter Using Machine Learning Techniques

This paper presents a classification-based method to detect false-positive ultrasonic sensor measurements when the flow rate is zero while the pipeline is full of water caused by the physical disturbances in flow metering. Due to the outlined disturbances, these false-positive readings of the meters may cause the wrong billing. To overcome this problem, ultrasonic sensor measurements are collected as timeseries data at variously different water flow rates. Numerical and statistical measures of the timerseries are computed to construct an input-output relation. Hence, the feature extraction process is performed. For the modeling phase, both zero flow rate and non-zero flow rate parts of the dataset, and its corresponding features are labeled. Logistic Regression (LR), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) algorithms are employed to classify the flow status in the MATLAB environment. Model performances are compared in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and precision. For the investigation of the availability of the implementation of an embedded system, model complexities are discussed. Selected model parameters are embedded in a water meter, and consumption values are compared to a water meter without the detection algorithm in the same test bench underfilled pipeline with zero flow rate condition. To simulate the physical disturbance conditions, and observe the effect of the false-positive detection algorithm on flow metering, the flow pipeline is vibrated periodically. Consumption loggings of the water meters are tabled, model performance results are discussed, and test results are shared. According to the results, the radial basis kernel SVM algorithm performs better in terms of all metrics. LR algorithm is employed for the real plant experiment when its model complexity is considered.

Flexible Data Management System for the Analysis of an Electro- Mechanical Actuator on a Test Bench

The analysis of the behaviour of complex mechanical components in order to identify relevant patterns for health monitoring and diagnostics is a complex task. One example of this complexity is the data workflow that can be generated for analysis purposes when a new prototype of an electro-mechanical actuator (EMA) is being designed and experimented. The most accurate way of getting valuable insights during this analysis is by running tests in a controlled environment. In this regard, a test bench can be used to simulate the operating conditions experienced by the actuator during its operational lifetime in an accelerated manner. Depending on the number and nature of the parameters to be obtained, the prototype’s functionality under study, and the test frequencies and experiment duration, big data challenges may appear (volume, variety, and velocity). The analysis of such data and the development of adequate data-driven algorithms usually involves computations on massive amounts of data, a flexible and automated data pipeline, repeatable and reliable operations, and a collaborative approach. The use of DataOps techniques on a cloud infrastructure can provide the ideal environment for creating an end-to-end integrated architecture which meets these requirements. This work describes a data-driven information system developed for an electro mechanical actuator on a test bench. It uses a multivariate statistical process control (SPC) and a linear discriminant analysis (LDA) algorithm for detecting and evaluating the evolution of the actuator’s health. The information system runs an automated data pipeline on a cloud platform with signals obtained on the test bench, leveraging DataOps and machine learning techniques for a flexible and scalable data management.

Classification algorithms of error-related potentials in brain-computer interface

Error self-detection based on error-related potentials (ErrP) is promising to improve the practicability of brain-computer interface systems. But the single trial recognition of ErrP is still a challenge that hinters the development of this technology. To assess the performance of different algorithms on decoding ErrP, this paper test four kinds of linear discriminant analysis algorithms, two kinds of support vector machines, logistic regression, and discriminative canonical pattern matching (DCPM) on two open accessed datasets. All algorithms were evaluated by their classification accuracies and their generalization ability on different sizes of training sets. The study results show that DCPM has the best performance. This study shows a comprehensive comparison of different algorithms on ErrP classification, which could give guidance for the selection of ErrP algorithm.

Muscle network topology analysis for the classification of chronic neck pain based on EMG biomarkers extracted during walking.

Neuromuscular impairments are frequently observed in patients with chronic neck pain (CNP). This study uniquely investigates whether changes in neck muscle synergies detected during gait are sensitive enough to differentiate between people with and without CNP. Surface electromyography (EMG) was recorded from the sternocleidomastoid, splenius capitis, and upper trapezius muscles bilaterally from 20 asymptomatic individuals and 20 people with CNP as they performed rectilinear and curvilinear gait. Intermuscular coherence was computed to generate the functional inter-muscle connectivity network, the topology of which is quantified based on a set of graph measures. Besides the functional network, spectrotemporal analysis of each EMG was used to form the feature set. With the use of Neighbourhood Component Analysis (NCA), we identified the most significant features and muscles for the classification/differentiation task conducted using K-Nearest Neighbourhood (K-NN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) algorithms. The NCA algorithm selected features from muscle network topology as one of the most relevant feature sets, which further emphasize the presence of major differences in muscle network topology between people with and without CNP. Curvilinear gait achieved the best classification performance through NCA-SVM based on only 16 features (accuracy: 85.00%, specificity: 81.81%, and sensitivity: 88.88%). Intermuscular muscle networks can be considered as a new sensitive tool for the classification of people with CNP. These findings further our understanding of how fundamental muscle networks are altered in people with CNP.
