Love at first sight is a well-known and interesting phenomenon, and denotes the strong attraction to a person of the opposite sex when first meeting. As far as we know, there are no studies on the changes in physiological signals between the opposite sexes when this phenomenon occurs. Although privacy is involved, knowing how attractive a partner is may be beneficial to building a future relationship in an open society where both men and women accept each other. Therefore, this study adopts the photoplethysmography (PPG) signal acquisition method (already applied in wearable devices) to collect signals that are beneficial for utilizing the results of the analysis. In particular, this study proposes a love pulse signal recognition algorithm based on a PPG signal. First, given the high correlation between the impulse signals of love at first sight and those for physical attractiveness, photos of people with different levels of attractiveness are used to induce real emotions. Then, the PPG signal is analyzed in the time, frequency, and nonlinear domains, respectively, in order to extract its physiological characteristics. Finally, we propose the use of a variety of machine learning techniques (support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and extreme gradient enhancement (XGBoost)) for identifying the impulsive states of love, with or without feature selection. The results show that the XGBoost classifier has the highest classification accuracy (71.09%) when using the feature selection.

The free response function is the foundation of mode analysis and recognition of vibration signal, and random decrement algorithm is the commonly used classical algorithm of extracting the free response function. But under the restriction of engineering conditions, it may be impossible for long-time signal acquisition, which makes the number of sample points fail to meet the requirements of the random decrement algorithm, causing the extracted free response signals to contain strong noise and other influencing factors. Aiming at the shortcomings of the existing random decrement technique, this paper proposes an improved random decrement algorithm based on multi-secant method, which can get satisfactory free response signals with short vibration response signals to provide excellent basis of analysis for the vibration mode recognition algorithm of various time-frequency domains. Actual engineering tests confirm that the improved algorithm greatly improves the precision of extracting free response signals while basically keeping the computation speed unchanged, it has high application value.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the performance of 2D and 3D radiomics features with different machine learning approaches to classify SPLs based on magnetic resonance(MR) T2 weighted imaging (T2WI).Material and MethodsA total of 132 patients with pathologically confirmed SPLs were examined and randomly divided into training (n = 92) and test datasets (n = 40). A total of 1692 3D and 1231 2D radiomics features per patient were extracted. Both radiomics features and clinical data were evaluated. A total of 1260 classification models, comprising 3 normalization methods, 2 dimension reduction algorithms, 3 feature selection methods, and 10 classifiers with 7 different feature numbers (confined to 3–9), were compared. The ten-fold cross-validation on the training dataset was applied to choose the candidate final model. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), precision-recall plot, and Matthews Correlation Coefficient were used to evaluate the performance of machine learning approaches.ResultsThe 3D features were significantly superior to 2D features, showing much more machine learning combinations with AUC greater than 0.7 in both validation and test groups (129 vs. 11). The feature selection method Analysis of Variance(ANOVA), Recursive Feature Elimination(RFE) and the classifier Logistic Regression(LR), Linear Discriminant Analysis(LDA), Support Vector Machine(SVM), Gaussian Process(GP) had relatively better performance. The best performance of 3D radiomics features in the test dataset (AUC = 0.824, AUC-PR = 0.927, MCC = 0.514) was higher than that of 2D features (AUC = 0.740, AUC-PR = 0.846, MCC = 0.404). The joint 3D and 2D features (AUC=0.813, AUC-PR = 0.926, MCC = 0.563) showed similar results as 3D features. Incorporating clinical features with 3D and 2D radiomics features slightly improved the AUC to 0.836 (AUC-PR = 0.918, MCC = 0.620) and 0.780 (AUC-PR = 0.900, MCC = 0.574), respectively.ConclusionsAfter algorithm optimization, 2D feature-based radiomics models yield favorable results in differentiating malignant and benign SPLs, but 3D features are still preferred because of the availability of more machine learning algorithmic combinations with better performance. Feature selection methods ANOVA and RFE, and classifier LR, LDA, SVM and GP are more likely to demonstrate better diagnostic performance for 3D features in the current study.

COVID-19 is an infectious disease discovered after the outbreak began in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. COVID-19 is still becoming an increasing global threat to public health. The virus has been escalated to many countries across the globe. This paper analyzed and compared the performance of three different supervised machine learning techniques; Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Random Forest (RF), and Support Vector Machine (SVM) on COVID-19 dataset. The best level of accuracy between these three algorithms was determined by comparison of some metrics for assessing predictive performance such as accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, F-score, Kappa index, and ROC. From the analysis results, RF was found to be the best algorithm with 100% prediction accuracy in comparison with LDA and SVM with 95.2% and 90.9% respectively. Our analysis shows that out of these three classification models RF predicts COVID-19 patient's survival outcome with the highest accuracy. Chi-square test reveals that all the seven features except sex were significantly correlated with the COVID-19 patient's outcome (P-value < 0.005). Therefore, RF was recommended for COVID-19 patient outcome prediction that will help in early identification of possible sensitive cases for quick provision of quality health care, support and supervision.

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.

In this paper, we have focused to improve the performance of a speech-based uni-modal depression detection system, which is non-invasive, involves low cost and computation time in comparison to multi-modal systems. The performance of a decision system mainly depends on the choice of feature selection method and the classifier. We have investigated the combination of four well-known multivariate filter methods (minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance, Scatter Ratio, Mahalanobis Distance, Fast Correlation Based feature selection) and four well-known classifiers (k-Nearest Neighbour, Linear Discriminant classifier, Decision Tree, Support Vector Machine) to obtain a minimal set of relevant and non-redundant features to improve the performance. This will speed up the acquisition of features from speech and build the decision system with low cost and complexity. Experimental results on the high and low-level features of recent work on the DAICWOZ dataset demonstrate the superior performance of the combination of Scatter Ratio and LDC as well as that of Mahalanobis Distance and LDC, in comparison to other combinations and existing speech-based depression results, for both gender independent and gender-based studies. Further, these combinations have also outperformed a few multimodal systems. It was noted that low-level features are more discriminatory and provide a better f1 score.

Analysis of quantified voice patterns is useful in the detection and assessment of dysphonia and related phonation disorders. In this paper, we first study the linear correlations between 22 voice parameters of fundamental frequency variability, amplitude variations, and nonlinear measures. The highly correlated vocal parameters are combined by using the linear discriminant analysis method. Based on the probability density functions estimated by the Parzen-window technique, we propose an interclass probability risk (ICPR) method to select the vocal parameters with small ICPR values as dominant features and compare with the modified Kullback-Leibler divergence (MKLD) feature selection approach. The experimental results show that the generalized logistic regression analysis (GLRA), support vector machine (SVM), and Bagging ensemble algorithm input with the ICPR features can provide better classification results than the same classifiers with the MKLD selected features. The SVM is much better at distinguishing normal vocal patterns with a specificity of 0.8542. Among the three classification methods, the Bagging ensemble algorithm with ICPR features can identify 90.77% vocal patterns, with the highest sensitivity of 0.9796 and largest area value of 0.9558 under the receiver operating characteristic curve. The classification results demonstrate the effectiveness of our feature selection and pattern analysis methods for dysphonic voice detection and measurement.

This study is aimed at assessing the usefulness of different feature selection and classification methodologies in the context of sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) detection. Feature extraction, selection and classification stages were applied to analyze blood oxygen saturation (SaO2) recordings in order to simplify polysomnography (PSG), the gold standard diagnostic methodology for SAHS. Statistical, spectral and nonlinear measures were computed to compose the initial feature set. Principal component analysis (PCA), forward stepwise feature selection (FSFS) and genetic algorithms (GAs) were applied to select feature subsets. Fisher's linear discriminant (FLD), logistic regression (LR) and support vector machines (SVMs) were applied in the classification stage. Optimum classification algorithms from each combination of these feature selection and classification approaches were prospectively validated on datasets from two independent sleep units. FSFS + LR achieved the highest diagnostic performance using a small feature subset (4 features), reaching 83.2% accuracy in the validation set and 88.7% accuracy in the test set. Similarly, GAs + SVM also achieved high generalization capability using a small number of input features (7 features), with 84.2% accuracy on the validation set and 84.5% accuracy in the test set. Our results suggest that reduced subsets of complementary features (25% to 50% of total features) and classifiers with high generalization ability could provide high-performance screening tools in the context of SAHS.

A method for drunk driving detection using Feature Selection based on the Random Forest was proposed. First, driving behavior data were collected using a driving simulator at Beijing University of Technology. Second, the features were selected according to the Feature Importance in the random forest. Third, a dummy variable was introduced to encode the geometric characteristics of different roads so that drunk driving under different road conditions can be detected with the same classifier based on the random forest. Finally, the linear discriminant analysis, support vector machine, and AdaBoost classifiers were used and compared with the random forest. The accuracy, F1 score, receiver operating characteristic curve, and area under the curve value were used to evaluate the performance of the classifiers. The results show that Accelerator Depth, Speed, Distance to the Center of the Lane, Acceleration, Engine Revolution, Brake Depth, and Steering Angle have important influences on identifying the drivers’ states and can be used to detect drunk driving. Specifically, the classifiers with Accelerator Depth outperformed the other classifiers without Accelerator Depth. This means that Accelerator Depth is an important feature. Both the AdaBoost and random forest classifiers have an accuracy of 81.48%, which verified the effectiveness of the proposed method.
