AbstractIn the agricultural industry, advances in optical imaging technologies based on rapid and non-destructive approaches have contributed to increase food production for the growing population. The present study employed autofluorescence-spectral imaging and machine learning algorithms to develop distinct models for classification of soybean seeds differing in physiological quality after artificial aging. Autofluorescence signals from the 365/400 nm excitation-emission combination (that exhibited a perfect correlation with the total phenols in the embryo) were efficiently able to segregate treatments. Furthermore, it was also possible to demonstrate a strong correlation between autofluorescence-spectral data and several quality indicators, such as early germination and seed tolerance to stressful conditions. The machine learning models developed based on artificial neural network, support vector machine or linear discriminant analysis showed high performance (0.99 accuracy) for classifying seeds with different quality levels. Taken together, our study shows that the physiological potential of soybean seeds is reduced accompanied by changes in the concentration and, probably in the structure of autofluorescent compounds. In addition, altering the autofluorescent properties in seeds impact the photosynthesis apparatus in seedlings. From the practical point of view, autofluorescence-based imaging can be used to check modifications in the optical properties of soybean seed tissues and to consistently discriminate high-and low-vigor seeds.

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.

Abstract Despite its high accuracy to detect the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) approach possesses several limitations (e.g., the lengthy invasive procedure, the reagent availability, and the requirement of specialized laboratory, equipment, and trained staffs). We developed and employed a low-cost, noninvasive method to rapidly sniff out the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) based on a portable electronic nose (GeNose C19) integrating metal oxide semiconductor gas sensor array, optimized feature extraction, and machine learning models. This approach was evaluated in profiling tests involving a total number of 615 breath samples (i.e., 333 positive and 282 negative COVID-19 confirmed by RT-qPCR) obtained from 83 patients in two hospitals located in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Four different machine learning algorithms (i.e., linear discriminant analysis (LDA), support vector machine (SVM), stacked multilayer perceptron (MLP), and deep neural network (DNN)) were utilized to identify the top-performing pattern recognition methods and to obtain high system detection accuracy (88–95%), sensitivity (86–94%), specificity (88–95%) levels from the testing datasets. Our results suggest that GeNose C19 can be considered a highly potential breathalyzer for fast COVID-19 screening.

The exponential growth in fake news and its inherent threat to democracy, public trust, and justice has escalated the necessity for fake news detection and mitigation. Detecting fake news is a complex challenge as it is intentionally written to mislead and hoodwink. Humans are not good at identifying fake news. The detection of fake news by humans is reported to be at a rate of 54% and an additional 4% is reported in the literature as being speculative. The significance of fighting fake news is exemplified during the present pandemic. Consequently, social networks are ramping up the usage of detection tools and educating the public in recognising fake news. In the literature, it was observed that several machine learning algorithms have been applied to the detection of fake news with limited and mixed success. However, several advanced machine learning models are not being applied, although recent studies are demonstrating the efficacy of the ensemble machine learning approach; hence, the purpose of this study is to assist in the automated detection of fake news. An ensemble approach is adopted to help resolve the identified gap. This study proposed a blended machine learning ensemble model developed from logistic regression, support vector machine, linear discriminant analysis, stochastic gradient descent, and ridge regression, which is then used on a publicly available dataset to predict if a news report is true or not. The proposed model will be appraised with the popular classical machine learning models, while performance metrics such as AUC, ROC, recall, accuracy, precision, and f1-score will be used to measure the performance of the proposed model. Results presented showed that the proposed model outperformed other popular classical machine learning models.

Passive Stretch

Spasticity is a frequently observed symptom in patients with neurological impairments. Spastic movements of their upper and lower limbs are periodically measured to evaluate functional outcomes of physical rehabilitation, and they are quantified by clinical outcome measures such as the modified Ashworth scale (MAS). This study proposes a method to determine the severity of elbow spasticity, by analyzing the acceleration and rotation attributes collected from the elbow of the affected side of patients and machine-learning algorithms to classify the degree of spastic movement; this approach is comparable to assigning an MAS score. We collected inertial data from participants using a wearable device incorporating inertial measurement units during a passive stretch test. Machine-learning algorithms—including decision tree, random forests (RFs), support vector machine, linear discriminant analysis, and multilayer perceptrons—were evaluated in combinations of two segmentation techniques and feature sets. A RF performed well, achieving up to 95.4% accuracy. This work not only successfully demonstrates how wearable technology and machine learning can be used to generate a clinically meaningful index but also offers rehabilitation patients an opportunity to monitor the degree of spasticity, even in nonhealthcare institutions where the help of clinical professionals is unavailable.

Music emotions recognition (MER) is a challenging field of studies addressed in multiple disciplines such as musicology, cognitive science, physiology, psychology, arts and affective computing. In this article, music emotions are classified into four types known as those of pleasing, angry, sad and relaxing. MER is formulated as a classification problem in cognitive computing where 548 dimensions of music features are extracted and modeled. A set of classifications and machine learning algorithms are explored and comparatively studied for MER, which includes Support Vector Machine (SVM), k-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Neuro-Fuzzy Networks Classification (NFNC), Fuzzy KNN (FKNN), Bayes classifier and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA). Experimental results show that the SVM, FKNN and LDA algorithms are the most effective methodologies that obtain more than 80% accuracy for MER.

Nowadays, mangoes and other fruits are classified according to human perception of low productivity, which is a poor quality of classification. Therefore, in this study, we suggest a novel evaluation of internal quality focused on external features of mango as well as its weight. The results show that evaluation is more effective than using only one of the external features or weight combining an expensive nondestructive (NDT) measurement. Grading of fruits is implemented by four models of machine learning as Random Forest (RF), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN). Models have inputs such as length, width, defect, weight, and outputs being mango classifications such as grade G1, G2, and G3. The unstructured data of 4983 of captured images combining with load-cell signals are transferred to structured data to generate a completed dataset including density. The data normalization and elimination of outliers (DNEO) are used to create a better dataset which prepared for machine learning algorithms. Moreover, an unbiased performance estimate for the training process carried out by the nested cross-validation (NCV) method. In the experiment, the methods of machine learning have high accurate over 87.9%, especially the model of RF gets 98.1% accuracy.

Overdose prescription errors sometimes cause serious life-threatening adverse drug events, while underdose errors lead to diminished therapeutic effects. Therefore, it is important to detect and prevent these errors. In the present study, we used the one-class support vector machine (OCSVM), one of the most common unsupervised machine learning algorithms for anomaly detection, to identify overdose and underdose prescriptions. We extracted prescription data from electronic health records in Kyushu University Hospital between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2019. We constructed an OCSVM model for each of the 21 candidate drugs using three features: age, weight, and dose. Clinical overdose and underdose prescriptions, which were identified and rectified by pharmacists before administration, were collected. Synthetic overdose and underdose prescriptions were created using the maximum and minimum doses, defined by drug labels or the UpToDate database. We applied these prescription data to the OCSVM model and evaluated its detection performance. We also performed comparative analysis with other unsupervised outlier detection algorithms (local outlier factor, isolation forest, and robust covariance). Twenty-seven out of 31 clinical overdose and underdose prescriptions (87.1%) were detected as abnormal by the model. The constructed OCSVM models showed high performance for detecting synthetic overdose prescriptions (precision 0.986, recall 0.964, and F-measure 0.973) and synthetic underdose prescriptions (precision 0.980, recall 0.794, and F-measure 0.839). In comparative analysis, OCSVM showed the best performance. Our models detected the majority of clinical overdose and underdose prescriptions and demonstrated high performance in synthetic data analysis. OCSVM models, constructed using features such as age, weight, and dose, are useful for detecting overdose and underdose prescriptions.

As the core component of agricultural robots, robotic grippers are widely used for plucking, picking, and harvesting fruits and vegetables. Secure grasping is a severe challenge in agricultural applications because of the variation in the shape and hardness of agricultural products during maturation, as well as their variety and delicacy. In this study, a fruit identification method utilizing an adaptive gripper with tactile sensing and machine learning algorithms is reported. An adaptive robotic gripper is designed and manufactured to perform adaptive grasping. A tactile sensing information acquisition circuit is built, and force and bending sensors are integrated into the robotic gripper to measure the contact force distribution on the contact surface and the deformation of the soft fingers. A robotic manipulator platform is developed to collect the tactile sensing data in the grasping process. The performance of the random forest (RF), k-nearest neighbor (KNN), support vector classification (SVC), naive Bayes (NB), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and ridge regression (RR) classifiers in identifying and classifying five types of fruits using the adaptive gripper is evaluated and compared. The RF classifier achieves the highest accuracy of 98%, while the accuracies of the other classifiers vary from 74% to 97%. The experiment illustrates that efficient and accurate fruit identification can be realized with the adaptive gripper and machine learning classifiers, and that the proposed method can provide a reference for controlling the grasping force and planning the robotic motion in the plucking, picking, and harvesting of fruits and vegetables.
