Summary Objectives: The aim of the paper is to analyze transient events in inter-ictal EEG recordings, and classify epileptic activity into focal or generalized epilepsy using an automated method. Methods: A two-stage approach is proposed. In the first stage the observed transient events of a single channel are classified into four categories: epileptic spike (ES), muscle activity (EMG), eye blinking activity (EOG), and sharp alpha activity (SAA). The process is based on an artificial neural network. Different artificial neural network architectures have been tried and the network having the lowest error has been selected using the hold out approach. In the second stage a knowledge-based system is used to produce diagnosis for focal or generalized epileptic activity. Results: The classification of transient events reported high overall accuracy (84.48%), while the knowledge-based system for epilepsy diagnosis correctly classified nine out of ten cases. Conclusions: The proposed method is advantageous since it effectively detects and classifies the undesirable activity into appropriate categories and produces a final outcome related to the existence of epilepsy.

As one of the important tools of epilepsy diagnosis, the electroencephalogram (EEG) is noninvasive and presents no traumatic injury to patients. It contains a lot of physiological and pathological information that is easy to obtain. The automatic classification of epileptic EEG is important in the diagnosis and therapeutic efficacy of epileptics. In this article, an explainable graph feature convolutional neural network named WTRPNet is proposed for epileptic EEG classification. Since WTRPNet is constructed by a recurrence plot in the wavelet domain, it can fully obtain the graph feature of the EEG signal, which is established by an explainable graph features extracted layer called WTRP block . The proposed method shows superior performance over state-of-the-art methods. Experimental results show that our algorithm has achieved an accuracy of 99.67% in classification of focal and nonfocal epileptic EEG, which proves the effectiveness of the classification and detection of epileptic EEG.

<p>General Circulation Models (GCMs) are the primary source of knowledge for constructing climate scenarios and provide the basis for quantifying the climate change impacts at multi-scales and from local to global. However, the climate model simulations have a lower resolution than the desired watershed or hydrologic scale. Different downscaling methodologies are adopted to transform the global scale (coarser resolution) climate information to the local scale (finer resolution). One of the drawbacks of the GCM simulations is the systematic bias relative to historical observations. Bias correction is thus required to adjust the simulated values to reflect the observed distribution and statistics.<strong> </strong>In this study, the effect of bias correction is evaluated on the statistical downscaling models' performance to predict the temperature. Three statistical downscaling models are used: (i) Multi-linear Regression (MLR); (ii) Generalized Regression Neural Network (GRNN); and (iii) Cascade Neural Network (CasNN). The average daily temperature simulations generated by 25 GCMs of Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase-5 (CMIP5) are used in the study. The analysis is carried out at 22 stations of the Upper Thames River Basin (UTRB) in Canada during the baseline period of 1950 to 2005. The downscaling models' performance is evaluated using the Pearson Correlation Coefficient (CC) and Nash Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE). The results indicated that bias correction had improved all the downscaling models' performance at all stations of UTRB. The respective increase in CC and NSE values for (i) MLR is 8% and 10%; (ii) GRNN is 4% and 7%; and (iii) CasNN is 4% and 8%. Among the three downscaling models, multi-linear regression and cascade neural network models have shown similar performance.</p>
