A discrete wavelet transform (DWT) extracts meaningful information in a time-frequency domain and is a favorable feature extraction approach from pulse-like responses in large pulse voltammetry (LAPV) electronic tongues (e-tongue). A regular DWT generates lots of coefficients to describe signal details and approximations at different scales. Thus, coefficient selection is necessary to reduce the feature size. However, the common DWT-based feature selection follows a passive mode: manipulation through human experience or exhaustive trials. It is subjective, time consuming, and barely works in nonlaboratory conditions. In this paper, we present an active feature selection strategy consisting of a dispersion ratio computation and optimal searching search. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, we prepared several beverage samples and performed experiments with a LAPV e-tongue. Meanwhile, the features of raw response, peak-inflection point, referenced DWT method, and our proposed method were presented to indicate the effects of the refined features of the proposed method. Furthermore, we utilized several classifiers such as the k-nearest neighbor (k-NN), support vector machine (SVM), and random forest (RF) to evaluate the improvement of recognition by the refined features. Compared with other regular feature extraction methods, the proposed method can automatically explore high-quality features with an acceptable feature size. Moreover, the highest average accuracy was achieved by the proposed method for each classifier. It is an alternative feature extraction approach for a LAPV e-tongue without any manipulation in real applications.

Abstract Most of the studies in the field of Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) based on electroencephalography have a wide range of applications. Extracting Steady State Visual Evoked Potential (SSVEP) is regarded as one of the most useful tools in BCI systems. In this study, different methods such as feature extraction with different spectral methods (Shannon entropy, skewness, kurtosis, mean, variance) (bank of filters, narrow-bank IIR filters, and wavelet transform magnitude), feature selection performed by various methods (decision tree, principle component analysis (PCA), t-test, Wilcoxon, Receiver operating characteristic (ROC)), and classification step applying k nearest neighbor (k-NN), perceptron, support vector machines (SVM), Bayesian, multiple layer perceptron (MLP) were compared from the whole stream of signal processing. Through combining such methods, the effective overview of the study indicated the accuracy of classical methods. In addition, the present study relied on a rather new feature selection described by decision tree and PCA, which is used for the BCI-SSVEP systems. Finally, the obtained accuracies were calculated based on the four recorded frequencies representing four directions including right, left, up, and down.

Lamb wave approaches have been accepted as efficiently non-destructive evaluations in structural health monitoring for identifying damage in different states. Despite significant efforts in signal process of Lamb waves, physics-based prediction is still a big challenge due to complexity nature of the Lamb wave when it propagates, scatters and disperses. Machine learning in recent years has created transformative opportunities for accelerating knowledge discovery and accurately disseminating information where conventional Lamb wave approaches cannot work. Therefore, the learning framework was proposed with a workflow from dataset generation, to sensitive feature extraction, to prediction model for lamb-wave-based damage detection. A total of 17 damage states in terms of different damage type, sizes and orientations were designed to train the feature extraction and sensitive feature selection. A machine learning method, support vector machine (SVM), was employed for the learning model. A grid searching (GS) technique was adopted to optimize the parameters of the SVM model. The results show that the machine learning-enriched Lamb wave-based damage detection method is an efficient and accuracy wave to identify the damage severity and orientation. Results demonstrated that different features generated from different domains had certain levels of sensitivity to damage, while the feature selection method revealed that time-frequency features and wavelet coefficients exhibited the highest damage-sensitivity. These features were also much more robust to noise. With increase of noise, the accuracy of the classification dramatically dropped.

Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is often implemented by an iterative filter bank; hence, a lake of optimization of a discrete time basis is observed with respect to time localization for a constant number of zero moments. This paper discusses and presents an improved form of DWT for feature extraction, called Slantlet transform (SLT) along with neutrosophy, a generalization of fuzzy logic, which is a relatively new logic. Thus, a novel composite NS-SLT model has been suggested as a source to derive statistical texture features that used to identify the malignancy of brain tumor. The MR images in the neutrosophic domain are defined using three membership sets, true (T), false (F), and indeterminate (I); then, SLT was applied to each membership set. Three statistical measurement-based methods are used to extract texture features from images of brain MRI. One-way ANOVA has been applied as a method of reducing the number of extracted features for the classifiers; then, the extracted features are subsequently provided to the four neural network classification techniques, Support Vector Machine Neural Network (SVM-NN), Decision Tree Neural Network (DT-NN), K-Nearest Neighbor Neural Network (KNN-NN), and Naive Bayes Neural Networks (NB-NN), to predict the type of the brain tumor. Meanwhile, the performance of the proposed model is assessed by calculating average accuracy, precision, sensitivity, specificity, and Area Under the Curve (AUC) of the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach is quite accurate and efficient for diagnosing brain tumors when the Gray Level Run Length Matrix (GLRLM) features derived from the composite NS-SLT technique is used.


Recognition of human emotions is a fascinating research field that motivates many researchers to use various approaches, such as facial expression, speech or gesture of the body. Electroencephalogram (EEG) is another approach of recognizing human emotion through brain signals and has offered promising findings. Although EEG signals provide detail information on human emotional states, the analysis of non-linear and chaotic characteristics of EEG signals is a substantial problem. The main challenge remains in analyzing EEG signals to extract relevant features in order to achieve optimum classification performance. Various feature extraction methods have been developed by researchers, which mainly can be categorized under time, frequency or time-frequency based feature extraction methods. Yet, there are numerous setting that could affect the performance of any model. In this paper, we investigated the performance of Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Discrete Wavelet Packet Transform (DWPT), which are time-frequency domain methods using Support Vector Machine (SVM) and k-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) classification techniques. Different SVM kernel functions and distance metrics of KNN are tested in this study by using subject-dependent and subject -independent approaches. The experiment is implemented using publicly available DEAP dataset. The experimental results show that DWT is mostly suitable with weighted KNN classifier while DWPT reported better results when tested using Linear SVM classifier to accurately classify the EEG signals on subject-dependent approach. Consistent results are observed for DWT-KNN on subject-independent approach, however SVM works better in the setting of quadratic kernel functions. These results indicate that further investigation is significant to examine the impact of different setting of methods in analyzing large scale of EEG data

Neuromarketing has gained attention to bridge the gap between conventional marketing studies and electroencephalography (EEG)-based brain-computer interface (BCI) research. It determines what customers actually want through preference prediction. The performance of EEG-based preference detection systems depends on a suitable selection of feature extraction techniques and machine learning algorithms. In this study, We examined preference detection of neuromarketing dataset using different feature combinations of EEG indices and different algorithms for feature extraction and classification. For EEG feature extraction, we employed discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and power spectral density (PSD), which were utilized to measure the EEG-based preference indices that enhance the accuracy of preference detection. Moreover, we compared deep learning with other traditional classifiers, such as k-nearest neighbor (KNN), support vector machine (SVM), and random forest (RF). We also studied the effect of preference indicators on the performance of classification algorithms. Through rigorous offline analysis, we investigated the computational intelligence for preference detection and classification. The performance of the proposed deep neural network (DNN) outperforms KNN and SVM in accuracy, precision, and recall; however, RF achieved results similar to those of the DNN for the same dataset.

Cancer classification by doctors and radiologists was based on morphological and clinical features and had limited diagnostic ability in olden days. The recent arrival of DNA microarray technology has led to the concurrent monitoring of thousands of gene expressions in a single chip which stimulates the progress in cancer classification. In this paper, we have proposed a hybrid approach for microarray data classification based on nearest neighbor (KNN), naive Bayes, and support vector machine (SVM). Feature selection prior to classification plays a vital role and a feature selection technique which combines discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and moving window technique (MWT) is used. The performance of the proposed method is compared with the conventional classifiers like support vector machine, nearest neighbor, and naive Bayes. Experiments have been conducted on both real and benchmark datasets and the results indicate that the ensemble approach produces higher classification accuracy than conventional classifiers. This paper serves as an automated system for the classification of cancer and can be applied by doctors in real cases which serve as a boon to the medical community. This work further reduces the misclassification of cancers which is highly not allowed in cancer detection.

This paper introduces the design of a text categorization system based on Support Vector Machine (SVM). It analyzes the high dimensional characteristic of text data, the reason why SVM is suitable for text categorization. According to system data flow this system is constructed. This system consists of three subsystems which are text representation, classifier training and text classification. The core of this system is the classifier training, but text representation directly influences the currency of classifier and the performance of the system. Text feature vector space can be built by different kinds of feature selection and feature extraction methods. No research can indicate which one is the best method, so many feature selection and feature extraction methods are all developed in this system. For a specific classification task every feature selection method and every feature extraction method will be tested, and then a set of the best methods will be adopted.

Feature extraction is one of the most difficult aspects of mechanical fault diagnosis, and it is directly related to the accuracy of bearing fault diagnosis. In this study, improved permutation entropy (IPE) is defined as the feature for bearing fault diagnosis. In this method, ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), a self-adaptive time-frequency analysis method, is used to process the vibration signals, and a set of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) can thus be obtained. A feature extraction strategy based on statistical analysis is then presented for IPE, where the so-called optimal number of permutation entropy (PE) values used for an IPE is adaptively selected. The obtained IPE-based samples are then input to a support vector machine (SVM) model. Subsequently, a trained SVM can be constructed as the classifier for bearing fault diagnosis. Finally, experimental vibration signals are applied to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, and the results show that the proposed method can effectively and accurately diagnose bearing faults, such as inner race faults, outer race faults, and ball faults.

<p>Computer vision and pattern recognition applications have been counted serious research trends in engineering technology and scientific research content. These applications such as texture image analysis and its texture feature extraction. Several studies have been done to obtain accurate results in image feature extraction and classifications, but most of the extraction and classification studies have some shortcomings. Thus, it is substantial to amend the accuracy of the classification via minify the dimension of feature sets. In this paper, presents a cluster-based feature selection approach to adopt more discriminative subset texture features based on three different texture image datasets. Multi-step are conducted to implement the proposed approach. These steps involve texture feature extraction via Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM), Local Binary Pattern (LBP) and Gabor filter. The second step is feature selection by using K-means clustering algorithm based on five feature evaluation metrics which are infogain, Gain ratio, oneR, ReliefF, and symmetric. Finally, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Naive Bayes (NB) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers are used to evaluate the proposed classification performance and accuracy. Research achieved better classification accuracy and performance using KNN and NB classifiers that were 99.9554% for Kelberg dataset and 99.0625% for SVM in Brodatz-1 and Brodatz-2 datasets consecutively. Conduct a comparison to other studies to give a unified view of the quality of the results and identify the future research directions.</p>
