In this paper, we introduce a new system for ECG beat classification using support vector machines classifier with a double hinge loss. The proposed classifier rejects samples that cannot be classified with enough confidence. Specifically in medical diagnoses, the consequence of a wrong classification can be so harmful that it is convenient to reject such sample. After ECG preprocessing, feature selection and extraction, our decision rule uses dynamic reject thresholds according to the cost of rejecting or misclassifying a sample. Significant performance enhancement is observed when the proposed approach is tested with the MIT-BIH arrythmia database. The achieved results are represented by the error reject tradeoff. We obtained 98.2% of sensitivity with no rejection and more than 99% of sensitivity for the optimal classification cost being competitive to other published studies.

Abstract Cost estimation, as one of the key processes in construction projects, provides the basis for a number of project-related decisions. This paper presents some results of studies on the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning in cost estimation. The research developed three original models based either on ensembles of neural networks or on support vector machines for the cost prediction of the floor structural frames of buildings. According to the criteria of general metrics (RMSE, MAPE), the three models demonstrate similar predictive performance. MAPE values computed for the training and testing of the three developed models range between 5% and 6%. The accuracy of cost predictions given by the three developed models is acceptable for the cost estimates of the floor structural frames of buildings in the early design stage of the construction project. Analysis of error distribution revealed a degree of superiority for the model based on support vector machines.
