Complex sensor arrays prohibit practical deployment of existing wearables-based algorithms for free-living analysis of muscle and joint mechanics. Machine learning techniques have been proposed as a potential solution, however, they are less interpretable and generalizable when compared to physics-based techniques. Herein, we propose a hybrid method utilizing inertial sensor- and electromyography (EMG)-driven simulation of muscle contraction to characterize knee joint and muscle mechanics during walking gait. Machine learning is used only to map a subset of measured muscle excitations to a full set thereby reducing the number of required sensors. We demonstrate the utility of the approach for estimating net knee flexion moment (KFM) as well as individual muscle moment and work during the stance phase of gait across nine unimpaired subjects. Across all subjects, KFM was estimated with 0.91 %BW·H RMSE and strong correlations (r = 0.87) compared to ground truth inverse dynamics analysis. Estimates of individual muscle moments were strongly correlated (r = 0.81-0.99) with a reference EMG-driven technique using optical motion capture and a full set of electrodes as were estimates of muscle work (r = 0.88-0.99). Implementation of the proposed technique in the current work included instrumenting only three muscles with surface electrodes (lateral and medial gastrocnemius and vastus medialis) and both the thigh and shank segments with inertial sensors. These sensor locations permit instrumentation of a knee brace/sleeve facilitating a practically deployable mechanism for monitoring muscle and joint mechanics with performance comparable to the current state-of-the-art.

Electronic tongue-type sensor arrays are devices used to determine the quality of substances and seek to imitate the main components of the human sense of taste. For this purpose, an electronic tongue-based system makes use of sensors, data acquisition systems, and a pattern recognition system. Particularly, in the latter, machine learning techniques are useful in data analysis and have been used to solve classification and regression problems. However, one of the problems in the use of this kind of device is associated with the development of reliable pattern recognition algorithms and robust data analysis. In this sense, this work introduces a taste recognition methodology, which is composed of several steps including unfolding data, data normalization, principal component analysis for compressing the data, and classification through different machine learning models. The proposed methodology is tested using data from an electronic tongue with 13 different liquid substances; this electronic tongue uses multifrequency large amplitude pulse signal voltammetry. Results show that the methodology is able to perform the classification accurately and the best results are obtained when it includes the use of K-nearest neighbor machine in terms of accuracy compared with other kinds of machine learning approaches. Besides, the comparison to evaluate the methodology is made with different classification performance measures that show the behavior of the process in a single number.

The continuous development of more accurate and selective bio- and chemo-sensors has led to a growing use of sensor arrays in different fields, such as health monitoring, cell culture analysis, bio-signals processing, or food quality tracking. The analysis and information extraction from the amount of data provided by these sensor arrays is possible based on Machine Learning techniques applied to sensor fusion. However, most of these computing solutions are implemented on costly and bulky computers, limiting its use in in-situ scenarios outside complex laboratory facilities. This work presents the application of machine learning techniques in food quality assessment using a single Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) chip. The characteristics of low-cost, low power consumption as well as low-size allow the application of the proposed solution even in space constrained places, as in food manufacturing chains. As an example, the proposed system is tested on an e-nose developed for beef classification and microbial population prediction.

Fall-related information can help clinical professionals make diagnoses and plan fall prevention strategies. The information includes various characteristics of different fall phases, such as falling time and landing responses. To provide the information of different phases, this pilot study proposes an automatic multiphase identification algorithm for phase-aware fall recording systems. Seven young adults are recruited to perform the fall experiment. One inertial sensor is worn on the waist to collect the data of body movement, and a total of 525 trials are collected. The proposed multiphase identification algorithm combines machine learning techniques and fragment modification algorithm to identify pre-fall, free-fall, impact, resting and recovery phases in a fall process. Five machine learning techniques, including support vector machine, k-nearest neighbor (kNN), naïve Bayesian, decision tree and adaptive boosting, are applied to identify five phases. Fragment modification algorithm uses the rules to detect the fragment whose results are different from the neighbors. The proposed multiphase identification algorithm using the kNN technique achieves the best performance in 82.17% sensitivity, 85.74% precision, 73.51% Jaccard coefficient, and 90.28% accuracy. The results show that the proposed algorithm has the potential to provide automatic fine-grained fall information for clinical measurement and assessment.

In this paper, we investigate analysis and prediction of the time-dependent data. We focus our attention on four different stocks are selected from Yahoo Finance historical database. To build up models and predict the future stock price, we consider three different machine learning techniques including Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Support Vector Regression (SVR). By treating close price, open price, daily low, daily high, adjusted close price, and volume of trades as predictors in machine learning methods, it can be shown that the prediction accuracy is improved.

Rule Based Approach

Text classification has grown into more significant in managing and organizing the text data due to tremendous growth of online information. It does classification of documents in to fixed number of predefined categories. Rule based approach and Machine learning approach are the two ways of text classification. In rule based approach, classification of documents is done based on manually defined rules. In Machine learning based approach, classification rules or classifier are defined automatically using example documents. It has higher recall and quick process. This paper shows an investigation on text classification utilizing different machine learning techniques.
