In this paper, feature extraction methods are developed based on the non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) algorithm to be applied in weakly supervised sound event detection. Recently, the development of various features and systems have been attempted to tackle the problems of acoustic scene classification and sound event detection. However, most of these systems use data-independent spectral features, e.g., Mel-spectrogram, log-Mel-spectrum, and gammatone filterbank. Some data-dependent feature extraction methods, including the NMF-based methods, recently demonstrated the potential to tackle the problems mentioned above for long-term acoustic signals. In this paper, we further develop the recently proposed NMF-based feature extraction method to enable its application in weakly supervised sound event detection. To achieve this goal, we develop a strategy for training the frequency basis matrix using a heterogeneous database consisting of strongly- and weakly-labeled data. Moreover, we develop a non-iterative version of the NMF-based feature extraction method so that the proposed feature extraction method can be applied as a part of the model structure similar to the modern “on-the-fly” transform method for the Mel-spectrogram. To detect the sound events, the temporal basis is calculated using the NMF method and then used as a feature for the mean-teacher-model-based classifier. The results are improved for the event-wise post-processing method. To evaluate the proposed system, simulations of the weakly supervised sound event detection were conducted using the Detection and Classification of Acoustic Scenes and Events 2020 Task 4 database. The results reveal that the proposed system has F1-score performance comparable with the Mel-spectrogram and gammatonegram and exhibits 3–5% better performance than the log-Mel-spectrum and constant-Q transform.

This paper proposes a new feature extraction method for off-line recognition of Myanmar printed documents. One of the most important factors to achieve high recognition performance in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) system is the selection of the feature extraction methods. Different types of existing OCR systems used various feature extraction methods because of the diversity of the scripts’ natures. One major contribution of the work in this paper is the design of logically rigorous coding based features. To show the effectiveness of the proposed method, this paper assumed the documents are successfully segmented into characters and extracted features from these isolated Myanmar characters. These features are extracted using structural analysis of the Myanmar scripts. The experimental results have been carried out using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier and compare the pervious proposed feature extraction method.

The purpose of the chapter is to present a novel method to classify lung diseases from the computed tomography images which assist physicians in the diagnosis of lung diseases. The method is based on a new approach which combines a proposed M2 feature extraction method and a novel hybrid genetic approach with different types of classifiers. The feature extraction methods performed in this work are moment invariants, proposed multiscale filter method and proposed M2 feature extraction method. The essential features which are the results of the feature extraction technique are selected by the novel hybrid genetic algorithm feature selection algorithms. Classification is performed by the support vector machine, multilayer perceptron neural network and Bayes Net classifiers. The result obtained proves that the proposed technique is an efficient and robust method. The performance of the proposed M2 feature extraction with proposed hybrid GA and SVM classifier combination achieves maximum classification accuracy.

Texture classification is a necessary task in a wider variety of application areas such as manufacturing, textiles, and medicine. In this paper, we propose a novel wavelet-based feature extraction method for robust, scale invariant and rotation invariant texture classification. The method divides the 2-D wavelet coefficient matrices into 2-D clusters and then computes features from the energies inherent in these clusters. The features that contain the information effective for classifying texture images are computed from the energy content of the clusters, and these feature vectors are input to a neural network for texture classification. The results show that the discrimination performance obtained with the proposed cluster-based feature extraction method is superior to that obtained using conventional feature extraction methods, and robust to the rotation and scale invariant texture classification.

A force-invariant feature extraction method derives identical information for all force levels. However, the physiology of muscles makes it hard to extract this unique information. In this context, we propose an improved force-invariant feature extraction method based on nonlinear transformation of the power spectral moments, changes in amplitude, and the signal amplitude along with spatial correlation coefficients between channels. Nonlinear transformation balances the forces and increases the margin among the gestures. Additionally, the correlation coefficient between channels evaluates the amount of spatial correlation; however, it does not evaluate the strength of the electromyogram signal. To evaluate the robustness of the proposed method, we use the electromyogram dataset containing nine transradial amputees. In this study, the performance is evaluated using three classifiers with six existing feature extraction methods. The proposed feature extraction method yields a higher pattern recognition performance, and significant improvements in accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, and F1 score are found. In addition, the proposed method requires comparatively less computational time and memory, which makes it more robust than other well-known feature extraction methods.

The so-called Relevance Index (RI) metrics are a set of recently-introduced indicators based on information theory principles that can be used to analyze complex systems by detecting the main interacting structures within them. Such structures can be described as subsets of the variables which describe the system status that are strongly statistically correlated with one another and mostly independent of the rest of the system. The goal of the work described in this paper is to apply the same principles to pattern recognition and check whether the RI metrics can also identify, in a high-dimensional feature space, attribute subsets from which it is possible to build new features which can be effectively used for classification. Preliminary results indicating that this is possible have been obtained using the RI metrics in a supervised way, i.e., by separately applying such metrics to homogeneous datasets comprising data instances which all belong to the same class, and iterating the procedure over all possible classes taken into consideration. In this work, we checked whether this would also be possible in a totally unsupervised way, i.e., by considering all data available at the same time, independently of the class to which they belong, under the hypothesis that the peculiarities of the variable sets that the RI metrics can identify correspond to the peculiarities by which data belonging to a certain class are distinguishable from data belonging to different classes. The results we obtained in experiments made with some publicly available real-world datasets show that, especially when coupled to tree-based classifiers, the performance of an RI metrics-based unsupervised feature extraction method can be comparable to or better than other classical supervised or unsupervised feature selection or extraction methods.
