A new automated approach for the polysomnography (PSG) characterization and classification with the combination of FastICA, clustering and support vector machines (SVM) is presented in this paper. The method is based on two key steps. In the first step, the authors adopt the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Fast Independent Component Analysis (FastICA) approaches to separate and transform the original inputs into uncorrelated and mutually independent new features. In the second step, they utilize the K_Means clustering combined with Support Vector Machine (SVM) to build the proposed classifier. Multiple SVM kernels such as the linear, quadratic, polynomial, and radial basic functions are used for the classification of central and obstructive sleep apnea. Their results suggest the high reliability and high classification accuracy of polynomial kernel.

An enhanced classification system for classification of MR images using association of kernels with support vector machine is developed and presented in this paper along with the design and development of content-based image retrieval (CBIR) system. Content of image retrieval is the process of finding relevant image from large collection of image database using visual queries. Medical images have led to growth in large image collection. Oriented Rician Noise Reduction Anisotropic Diffusion filter is used for image denoising. A modified hybrid Otsu algorithm termed is used for image segmentation. The texture features are extracted using GLCM method. Genetic algorithm with Joint entropy is adopted for feature selection. The classification is done by support vector machine along with various kernels and the performance is validated. A classification accuracy of 98.83% is obtained using SVM with GRBF kernel. Various features have been extracted and these features are used to classify MR images into five different categories. Performance of the MC-SVM classifier is compared with different kernel functions. From the analysis and performance measures like classification accuracy, it is inferred that the brain and spinal cord MRI classification is best done using MC- SVM with Gaussian RBF kernel function than linear and polynomial kernel functions. The proposed system can provide best classification performance with high accuracy and low error rate.

AbstractSleep apnea syndrome (SAS) is a disorder in which respiratory airflow frequently stops during sleep. Alterations in electroencephalogram (EEG) signal are one of the physiological changes that occur during apnea, and can be used to diagnose and monitor sleep apnea events. Herein, we proposed a method to automatically distinguish sleep apnea events using characteristics of EEG signals in order to categorize obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) events, central sleep apnea (CSA) events and normal breathing events. Through the use of an Infinite Impulse Response Butterworth Band pass filter, we divided the EEG signals of C3-A2 and C4-A1 into five sub-bands. Next, we extracted sample entropy and variance of each sub-band. The neighbor composition analysis (NCA) method was utilized for feature selection, and the results are used as input coefficients for classification using random forest, K-nearest neighbor, and support vector machine classifiers. After a 10-fold cross-validation, we found that the average accuracy rate was 88.99%. Specifically, the accuracy of each category, including OSA, CSA and normal breathing were 80.43%, 84.85%, and 95.24%, respectively. The proposed method has great potential in the automatic classification of patients' respiratory events during clinical examinations, and provides a novel idea for the development of an automatic classification system for sleep apnea and normal events without the need for expert intervention.

Seborrheic Keratosis

There are hundreds of human-affected skin diseases. The most severe skin disorders may have identical symptoms, so recognizing the distinctions between them is crucial. People should work closely with a dermatologist to identify and manage every skin disorder and insure it does not impact their lifestyle.Actinic keratosis (AK), that is also classified as solar or senile keratosis; is a pre-malignant crusty, thick skin area. It is a disorder of epidermal keratinocytes, induced by UV radiation upon the skin. While pre-cancerous in nature, they can develop into a form of skin cancer called carcinoma if left unaddressed. The other type of keratosis dealt within this paper is seborrheic keratosis, which are brown or black, thick, wart-like, waxy oval-shaped, slightly raised skin surfaces. The growths aren't damaging. Nevertheless, in some instances it can be impossible to differentiate a seborrheic keratosis from melanoma, which is a very dangerous form of skin cancer.Nevus (or moles) skin lesions are ones which are benign, where it may very rarely turn into melanoma skin cancer. In this article, along with techniques for extracting features (LDP [Local Directional Patterns], LBP [Local Binary Patterns] and HOG [Histogram of Oriented Gradients]),we have used an SVM classifier for the classification of Keratosis and also nevus skin photos. The LBP, LDP and HOG are means to extract features; these images are subsequently used for identification of derived features from these methods or algorithms and classified by the SVM (Support Vector Machine) classifier. For many of the classifications of keratosis and nevus skin images using these algorithms, we have obtained accuracy nearly above 80 %, whereby the LBP system together with the SVM classifier was the most powerful attribute extraction tool of the three with their polynomial kernel type. Using this algorithm-classifier,the main AK and nevus skin lesion images can be detected and diagnosed by the doctors in its early stage itself,thus helping save lives.

Electrocardiogram Monitoring

Sleep apnea (SA) is a prevalent disorder diagnosed by polysomnography (PSG) based on the number of apnea–hypopnea events per hour of sleep (apnea–hypopnea index, AHI). PSG is expensive and technically complex; therefore, its use is rather limited to the initial diagnostic phase and simpler devices are required for long-term follow-up. The validity of single-parameter wearable devices for the assessment of sleep apnea severity is still debated. In this context, a wearable electrocardiogram (ECG) acquisition system (ECG belt) was developed and its suitability for the classification of sleep apnea severity was investigated using heart rate variability analysis with or without data pre-filtering. Several classification algorithms were compared and support vector machine was preferred due to its simplicity and overall performance. Whole-night ECG signals from 241 patients with a suspicion of sleep apnea were recorded using both the ECG belt and patched ECG during PSG recordings. 65% of patients had an obstructive sleep apnea and the median AHI was 21 [IQR: 7–40] h − 1 . The classification accuracy obtained from the ECG belt (accuracy: 72%, sensitivity: 70%, specificity: 74%) was comparable to the patched ECG (accuracy: 74%, sensitivity: 88%, specificity: 61%). The highest classification accuracy was obtained for the discrimination between individuals with no or mild SA vs. moderate to severe SA. In conclusion, the ECG belt provided signals comparable to patched ECG and could be used for the assessment of sleep apnea severity, especially during follow-up.

Abstract Introduction Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep-related breathing disorder with an estimation of one billion people. Full-night polysomnography is considered the gold standard for OSA diagnosis. However, it is time-consuming, expensive and is not readily available in many parts of the world. Many screening questionnaires and scores have been proposed for OSA prediction with high sensitivity and low specificity. The present study is intended to develop models with various machine learning techniques to predict the severity of OSA by incorporating features from multiple questionnaires. Methods Subjects who underwent full-night polysomnography in Torr sleep center, Texas and completed 5 OSA screening questionnaires/scores were included. OSA was diagnosed by using Apnea-Hypopnea Index ≥ 5. We trained five different machine learning models including Deep Neural Networks with the scaled principal component analysis (DNN-PCA), Random Forest (RF), Adaptive Boosting classifier (ABC), and K-Nearest Neighbors classifier (KNC) and Support Vector Machine Classifier (SVMC). Training:Testing subject ratio of 65:35 was used. All features including demographic data, body measurement, snoring and sleepiness history were obtained from 5 OSA screening questionnaires/scores (STOP-BANG questionnaires, Berlin questionnaires, NoSAS score, NAMES score and No-Apnea score). Performance parametrics were used to compare between machine learning models. Results Of 180 subjects, 51.5 % of subjects were male with mean (SD) age of 53.6 (15.1). One hundred and nineteen subjects were diagnosed with OSA. Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (AUROC) of DNN-PCA, RF, ABC, KNC, SVMC, STOP-BANG questionnaire, Berlin questionnaire, NoSAS score, NAMES score, and No-Apnea score were 0.85, 0.68, 0.52, 0.74, 0.75, 0.61, 0.63, 0,61, 0.58 and 0,58 respectively. DNN-PCA showed the highest AUROC with sensitivity of 0.79, specificity of 0.67, positive-predictivity of 0.93, F1 score of 0.86, and accuracy of 0.77. Conclusion Our result showed that DNN-PCA outperforms OSA screening questionnaires, scores and other machine learning models. Support (if any):

Effective Dimension Reduction

AbstractBrain computer interface (BCI) systems have been regarded as a new way of communication for humans. In this research, common methods such as wavelet transform are applied in order to extract features. However, genetic algorithm (GA), as an evolutionary method, is used to select features. Finally, classification was done using the two approaches support vector machine (SVM) and Bayesian method. Five features were selected and the accuracy of Bayesian classification was measured to be 80% with dimension reduction. Ultimately, the classification accuracy reached 90.4% using SVM classifier. The results of the study indicate a better feature selection and the effective dimension reduction of these features, as well as a higher percentage of classification accuracy in comparison with other studies.

Abstract In this study, we propose a method for detecting obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) based on the features extracted from empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and the neural networks trained by particle swarm optimization (PSO) in the classification phase. After extracting the features from the intrinsic mode functions (IMF) of each heart rate variability (HRV) signal of each segment, these features were applied to the input of popular classifiers such as multi-layer perceptron neural networks (MLPNN), Naïve Bayes, linear discriminant analysis (LDA), k-nearest neighborhood (KNN), and support vector machines (SVM) were applied. The results show that the MLPNN learned with back propagation (BP) algorithm has a diagnostic accuracy of less than 90%, and this may be due to being derivative based property of the BP algorithm, which causes trapping in the local minima. For Improving MLPNN’s performance, we used the PSO algorithm instead of the BP method in training part. Therefore, the MLPNN’s accuracy improved from 89.36 to 97.66% after the application of the PSO algorithm. The proposed method has also reached to 97.78 and 97.96% in sensitivity and specificity, respectively. So, it can be concluded that the proposed method achieves better or comparable results when compared with the previous works in this field.

In this study, we propose an automated framework that combines diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) metrics with machine learning algorithms to accurately classify control groups and groups with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) in the spinal cord. The comparison between selected voxel-based classification and mean value-based classification were performed. A support vector machine (SVM) classifier using a selected voxel-based dataset produced an accuracy of 95.73%, sensitivity of 93.41% and specificity of 98.64%. The efficacy of each index of diffusion for classification was also evaluated. Using the proposed approach, myelopathic areas in CSM are detected to provide an accurate reference to assist spine surgeons in surgical planning in complicated cases.
