Surface electromyogram (EMG) signals are a key component in myoelectric control systems utilized in modern prosthetic devices. Despite extensive study into EMG gesture detection techniques for hand and arm gestures, most prosthetic devices rely on direct control approaches that are often confined to single movements. The purpose of this paper is to investigate various feature extraction techniques and to compare various machine learning algorithms, window sizes to identify the most suitable algorithm, window size for real-time gesture recognition. For this purpose, a publicly available pre-labeled 2-channel EMG dataset was used as EMG signals. Feature sets for each window size were extracted using various feature extraction techniques and fed into support vector machines, k-nearest neighbors, ensemble learning, and feed-forward artificial neural network (ANN) classifiers. The feed-forward neural networks classifier was determined to be the best classifier based on its accuracies, sizes, and prediction delays for each window size. The maximum accuracy of the feed-forward ANN classifier was ≈87% with a 300-millisecond window size. the use of the majority voting technique was considered in terms of the number of votes and the window sizes.

Abstract Motivation: In recent times, mental stress detection using physiological signals have received widespread attention from the technology research community. Although many motivating research works have already been reported in this area, the evidence of hardware implementation is occasional. The main challenge in stress detection research is using optimum number of physiological signals, and real-time detection with low complexity algorithm. Objective: In this work, a real-time stress detection technique is presented which utilises only photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal to achieve improved accuracy over multi-signal-based mental stress detection techniques. Methodology: A short segment of 5s PPG signal was used for feature extraction using an autoencoder (AE), and features were minimized using recursive feature elimination (RFE) integrated with a multi-class support vector machine (SVM) classifier. Results: The proposed AE-RFE-SVM based mental stress detection technique was tested with WeSAD dataset to detect four-levels of mental state, viz., baseline, amusement, meditation and stress and to achieve an overall accuracy, F1 score and sensitivity of 99%, 0.99 and 98% respectively for 5s PPG data. The technique provided improved performance over discrete wavelet transformation (DWT) based feature extraction followed by classification with either of the five types of classifiers, viz., SVM, random forest (RF), k-nearest neighbour (k-NN), linear regression (LR) and decision tree (DT). The technique was translated into a quad-core-based standalone hardware (1.2 GHz, and 1 GB RAM). The resultant hardware prototype achieves a low latency (~0.4 s) and low memory requirement (~1.7 MB). Conclusion: The present technique can be extended to develop remote healthcare system using wearable sensors.

Twitter is a virtual social network where people share their posts and opinions about the current situation, such as the coronavirus pandemic. It is considered the most significant streaming data source for machine learning research in terms of analysis, prediction, knowledge extraction, and opinions. Sentiment analysis is a text analysis method that has gained further significance due to social networks’ emergence. Therefore, this paper introduces a real-time system for sentiment prediction on Twitter streaming data for tweets about the coronavirus pandemic. The proposed system aims to find the optimal machine learning model that obtains the best performance for coronavirus sentiment analysis prediction and then uses it in real-time. The proposed system has been developed into two components: developing an offline sentiment analysis and modeling an online prediction pipeline. The system has two components: the offline and the online components. For the offline component of the system, the historical tweets’ dataset was collected in duration 23/01/2020 and 01/06/2020 and filtered by #COVID-19 and #Coronavirus hashtags. Two feature extraction methods of textual data analysis were used, n-gram and TF-ID, to extract the dataset’s essential features, collected using coronavirus hashtags. Then, five regular machine learning algorithms were performed and compared: decision tree, logistic regression, k-nearest neighbors, random forest, and support vector machine to select the best model for the online prediction component. The online prediction pipeline was developed using Twitter Streaming API, Apache Kafka, and Apache Spark. The experimental results indicate that the RF model using the unigram feature extraction method has achieved the best performance, and it is used for sentiment prediction on Twitter streaming data for coronavirus.

Abstract: Alzheimer’s disease is one of the neurodegenerative disorders. It initially starts with innocuous symptoms but gradually becomes severe. This disease is so dangerous because there is no treatment, the disease is detected but typically at a later stage. So it is important to detect Alzheimer at an early stage to counter the disease and for a probable recovery for the patient. There are various approaches currently used to detect symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) at an early stage. The fuzzy system approach is not widely used as it heavily depends on expert knowledge but is quite efficient in detecting AD as it provides a mathematical foundation for interpreting the human cognitive processes. Another more accurate and widely accepted approach is the machine learning detection of AD stages which uses machine learning algorithms like Support Vector Machines (SVMs) , Decision Tree , Random Forests to detect the stage depending on the data provided. The final approach is the Deep Learning approach using multi-modal data that combines image , genetic data and patient data using deep models and then uses the concatenated data to detect the AD stage more efficiently; this method is obscure as it requires huge volumes of data. This paper elaborates on all the three approaches and provides a comparative study about them and which method is more efficient for AD detection.

Purpose Road accidents, an inadvertent mishap can be detected automatically and alerts sent instantly with the collaboration of image processing techniques and on-road video surveillance systems. However, to rely exclusively on visual information especially under adverse conditions like night times, dark areas and unfavourable weather conditions such as snowfall, rain, and fog which result in faint visibility lead to incertitude. The main goal of the proposed work is certainty of accident occurrence. Design/methodology/approach The authors of this work propose a method for detecting road accidents by analyzing audio signals to identify hazardous situations such as tire skidding and car crashes. The motive of this project is to build a simple and complete audio event detection system using signal feature extraction methods to improve its detection accuracy. The experimental analysis is carried out on a publicly available real time data-set consisting of audio samples like car crashes and tire skidding. The Temporal features of the recorded audio signal like Energy Volume Zero Crossing Rate 28ZCR2529 and the Spectral features like Spectral Centroid Spectral Spread Spectral Roll of factor Spectral Flux the Psychoacoustic features Energy Sub Bands ratio and Gammatonegram are computed. The extracted features are pre-processed and trained and tested using Support Vector Machine (SVM) and K-nearest neighborhood (KNN) classification algorithms for exact prediction of the accident occurrence for various SNR ranges. The combination of Gammatonegram with Temporal and Spectral features of the validates to be superior compared to the existing detection techniques. Findings Temporal, Spectral, Psychoacoustic features, gammetonegram of the recorded audio signal are extracted. A High level vector is generated based on centroid and the extracted features are classified with the help of machine learning algorithms like SVM, KNN and DT. The audio samples collected have varied SNR ranges and the accuracy of the classification algorithms is thoroughly tested. Practical implications Denoising of the audio samples for perfect feature extraction was a tedious chore. Originality/value The existing literature cites extraction of Temporal and Spectral features and then the application of classification algorithms. For perfect classification, the authors have chosen to construct a high level vector from all the four extracted Temporal, Spectral, Psycho acoustic and Gammetonegram features. The classification algorithms are employed on samples collected at varied SNR ranges.

Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death in women worldwide. Early detection is the key to reduce the mortality rates. Mammography screening has proven to be one of the effective tools for diagnosis of breast cancer. Computer aided diagnosis (CAD) system is a fast, reliable, and cost-effective tool in assisting the radiologists/physicians for diagnosis of breast cancer. CAD systems play an increasingly important role in the clinics by providing a second opinion. Clinical trials have shown that CAD systems have improved the accuracy of breast cancer detection. A typical CAD system involves three major steps i.e. segmentation of suspected lesions, feature extraction and classification of these regions into normal or abnormal class and further into benign or malignant stages. The diagnostics ability of any CAD system is dependent on accurate segmentation, feature extraction techniques and most importantly classification tools that have ability to discriminate the normal tissues from the abnormal tissues. In this chapter we discuss the application of machine learning algorithms e.g. ANN, binary tree, SVM, etc. together with segmentation and feature extraction techniques in a CAD system development. Various methods used in the detection and diagnosis of breast lesions in mammography are reviewed. A brief introduction of machine learning tools, used in diagnosis and their classification performance on various segmentation and feature extraction techniques is presented.

Cache side channel attacks extract secret information by monitoring the cache behavior of a victim. Normally, this attack targets an L3 cache, which is shared between a spy and a victim. Hence, a spy can obtain secret information without alerting the victim. To resist this attack, many detection techniques have been proposed. However, these approaches have limitations as they do not operate in real time. This article proposes a real-time detection method against cache side channel attacks. The proposed technique performs the detection of cache side channel attacks immediately after observing a variation of the CPU counters. For this, Intel PCM (Performance Counter Monitor) and machine learning algorithms are used to measure the value of the CPU counters. Throughout the experiment, several PCM counters recorded changes during the attack. From these observations, a detecting program was implemented by using these counters. The experimental results show that the proposed detection technique displays good performance for real-time detection in various environments.

Mammogram Images

Breast cancer is the primary and the most common disease found among women. Today, mammography is the most powerful screening technique used for early detection of cancer which increases the chance of successful treatment. In order to correctly detect the mammogram images as being cancerous or malignant, there is a need of a classier. With this objective, an attempt is made to analyze different feature extraction techniques and classiers. In the proposed system we rst do the preprocessing of the mammogram images, where the unwanted noise and disturbances in the mammograms are removed. Features are then extracted from the mammogram images using Gray Level Co-Occurrences Matrix (GLCM) and Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT). Finally, the features are classied using classiers like HiCARe (Classier based on High Condence Association Rule Agreements), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Naïve Bayes classier and K-NN Classier. Further we test the images and classify them as benign or malignant class.

This paper presents a posture recognition system aimed at detecting sitting postures of a wheelchair user. The main goals of the proposed system are to identify and inform irregular and improper posture to prevent sitting-related health issues such as pressure ulcers, with the potential that it could also be used for individuals without mobility issues. In the proposed monitoring system, an array of 16 screen printed pressure sensor units was employed to obtain pressure data, which are sampled and processed in real-time using read-out electronics. The posture recognition was performed for four sitting positions: right-, left-, forward- and backward leaning based on k-nearest neighbors (k-NN), support vector machines (SVM), random forest (RF), decision tree (DT) and LightGBM machine learning algorithms. As a result, a posture classification accuracy of up to 99.03 percent can be achieved. Experimental studies illustrate that the system can provide real-time pressure distribution value in the form of a pressure map on a standard PC and also on a raspberry pi system equipped with a touchscreen monitor. The stored pressure distribution data can later be shared with healthcare professionals so that abnormalities in sitting patterns can be identified by employing a post-processing unit. The proposed system could be used for risk assessments related to pressure ulcers. It may be served as a benchmark by recording and identifying individuals’ sitting patterns and the possibility of being realized as a lightweight portable health monitoring device.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is considered to be one of the most epidemic diseases in the world today. Predicting CVDs, such as cardiac arrest, is a difficult task in the area of healthcare. The healthcare industry has a vast collection of datasets for analysis and prediction purposes. Somehow, the predictions made on these publicly available datasets may be erroneous. To make the prediction accurate, real-time data need to be collected. This study collected real-time data using sensors and stored it on a cloud computing platform, such as Google Firebase. The acquired data is then classified using six machine-learning algorithms: Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Random Forest Classifier (RFC), Gradient Boost Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) classifier, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Naïve Bayes (NB), and Decision Tree (DT). Furthermore, we have presented two novel gender-based risk classification and age-wise risk classification approach in the undertaken study. The presented approaches have used Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression survival analysis methodologies for risk detection and classification. The presented approaches also assist health experts in identifying the risk probability risk and the 10-year risk score prediction. The proposed system is an economical alternative to the existing system due to its low cost. The outcome obtained shows an enhanced level of performance with an overall accuracy of 98% using DT on our collected dataset for cardiac risk prediction. We also introduced two risk classification models for gender- and age-wise people to detect their survival probability. The outcome of the proposed model shows accurate probability in both classes.
