Abstract Condition monitoring and fault diagnosis are of great interest to the manufacturing industry. Deep learning algorithms have shown promising results in equipment prognostics and health management. However, their success has been hindered by excessive training time. In addition, deep learning algorithms face the domain adaptation dilemma encountered in dynamic application environments. The emerging concept of broad learning addresses the training time and the domain adaptation issue. In this paper, a broad transfer learning algorithm is proposed for the classification of bearing faults. Data of the same frequency is used to construct one- and two-dimensional training data sets to analyze performance of the broad transfer and deep learning algorithms. A broad learning algorithm contains two main layers, an augmented feature layer and a classification layer. The broad learning algorithm with a sparse auto-encoder is employed to extract features. The optimal solution of a redefined cost function with a limited sample size to ten per class in the target domain offers the classifier of broad learning domain adaptation capability. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm has been demonstrated on a benchmark dataset. Computational experiments have demonstrated superior efficiency and accuracy of the proposed algorithm over the deep learning algorithms tested.

Research studies on EEG-based mental workload detection for a passive BCI generally focus on classifying cognitive states associated with the performance of tasks at different levels of difficulty, with no other aspects of the user’s mental state considered. However, in real-life situations, different aspects of the user’s state such as their cognitive (e.g., level of mental workload) and affective (e.g., level of stress/anxiety) states will often change simultaneously, and performance of a BCI system designed considering just one state may be unreliable. Moreover, multiple mental states may be relevant to the purposes of the BCI—for example both mental workload and stress level might be related to an aircraft pilot’s risk of error—and the simultaneous prediction of states may be critical in maximizing the practical effectiveness of real-life online BCI systems. In this study we investigated the feasibility of performing simultaneous classification of mental workload and stress level in an online passive BCI. We investigated both subject-specific and cross-subject classification approaches, the latter with and without the application of a transfer learning technique to align the distributions of data from the training and test subjects. Using cross-subject classification with transfer learning in a simulated online analysis, we obtained accuracies of 77.5 ± 6.9% and 84.1 ± 5.9%, across 18 participants for mental workload and stress level detection, respectively.

Abstract This paper describes the development, execution and results of an experiment assessing emotions with electrodermal response measurements and machine learning. With ten participants, the study was carried out by eliciting emotions through film clips. The data was gathered with the Sudologger 3 and processed with continuous wavelet transformation. A machine learning algorithm was used to classify the data with the use of transfer learning and random forest classification. The results showed that the experiment lays a foundation for further exploration in the field. The addition of augmented data strengthened the classification and proved that more data would benefit the machine learning algorithm. The pilot study brought to light several areas to help with the expansion of the study for larger scale assessment of emotions with electrodermal response measurements and machine learning for the benefit of fields like psychology.

In Science and Technology Development BCI plays a vital role in the field of Research. Classification is a data mining technique used to predict group membership for data instances. Analyses of BCI data are challenging because feature extraction and classification of these data are more difficult as compared with those applied to raw data. In this paper, We extracted features using statistical Haralick features from the raw EEG data . Then the features are Normalized, Binning is used to improve the accuracy of the predictive models by reducing noise and eliminate some irrelevant attributes and then the classification is performed using different classification techniques such as Naïve Bayes, k-nearest neighbor classifier, SVM classifier using BCI dataset. Finally we propose the SVM classification algorithm for the BCI data set.
