Radar technology has evolved considerably in the last few decades. There are many areas where radar systems are applied, including air traffic control in airports, ocean surveillance, and research systems, to cite a few. Other types of sensors have recently appeared, which allow tracking sub-millimeter motion with high speed and accuracy rates. These millimeter-wave radars are giving rise to myriad new applications, from the recognition of the material close objects are made, to the recognition of hand gestures. They have also been recently used to identify how a person interacts with digital devices through the physical environment (Tangible User Interfaces, TUIs). In this case, the radar is used to detect the orientation, movement, or distance from the objects to the user’s hands or the digital device. This paper presents a thoughtful comparative analysis of different feature extraction techniques and classification strategies applied on a series of datasets that cover problems such as the identification of materials, element counting, or determining the orientation and distance of objects to the sensor. The results outperform previous works using these datasets, especially when the accuracy was lowest, showing the benefits feature extraction techniques have on classification performance.

Sentiment analysis in terms of polarity classification is very important in everyday life, with the existence of polarity, many people can find out whether the respected document has positive or negative sentiment so that it can help in choosing and making decisions. Sentiment analysis usually done manually. Therefore, an automatic sentiment analysis classification process is needed. However, it is rare to find studies that discuss extraction features and which learning models are suitable for unstructured sentiment analysis types with the Amazon food review case. This research explores some extraction features such as Word Bags, TF-IDF, Word2Vector, as well as a combination of TF-IDF and Word2Vector with several machine learning models such as Random Forest, SVM, KNN and Naïve Bayes to find out a combination of feature extraction and learning models that can help add variety to the analysis of polarity sentiments. By assisting with document preparation such as html tags and punctuation and special characters, using snowball stemming, TF-IDF results obtained with SVM are suitable for obtaining a polarity classification in unstructured sentiment analysis for the case of Amazon food review with a performance result of 87,3 percent.

Instrumental odour monitoring systems (IOMS) are intelligent electronic sensing tools for which the primary application is the generation of odour metrics that are indicators of odour as perceived by human observers. The quality of the odour sensor signal, the mathematical treatment of the acquired data, and the validation of the correlation of the odour metric are key topics to control in order to ensure a robust and reliable measurement. The research presents and discusses the use of different pattern recognition and feature extraction techniques in the elaboration and effectiveness of the odour classification monitoring model (OCMM). The effect of the rise, intermediate, and peak period from the original response curve, in collaboration with Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) as a pattern recognition algorithm, were investigated. Laboratory analyses were performed with real odour samples collected in a complex industrial plant, using an advanced smart IOMS. The results demonstrate the influence of the choice of method on the quality of the OCMM produced. The peak period in combination with the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) highlighted the best combination on the basis of high classification rates. The paper provides information to develop a solution to optimize the performance of IOMS.

In recent years, with the rapid development of computer vision, increasing attention has been paid to remote sensing image scene classification. To improve the classification performance, many studies have increased the depth of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and expanded the width of the network to extract more deep features, thereby increasing the complexity of the model. To solve this problem, in this paper, we propose a lightweight convolutional neural network based on attention-oriented multi-branch feature fusion (AMB-CNN) for remote sensing image scene classification. Firstly, we propose two convolution combination modules for feature extraction, through which the deep features of images can be fully extracted with multi convolution cooperation. Then, the weights of the feature are calculated, and the extracted deep features are sent to the attention mechanism for further feature extraction. Next, all of the extracted features are fused by multiple branches. Finally, depth separable convolution and asymmetric convolution are implemented to greatly reduce the number of parameters. The experimental results show that, compared with some state-of-the-art methods, the proposed method still has a great advantage in classification accuracy with very few parameters.

Classification of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals plays an important role in clinical diagnosis of heart disease. This paper proposes the design of an efficient system for classification of the normal beat (N), ventricular ectopic beat (V), supraventricular ectopic beat (S), fusion beat (F), and unknown beat (Q) using a mixture of features. In this paper, two different feature extraction methods are proposed for classification of ECG beats: (i) S-transform based features along with temporal features and (ii) mixture of ST and WT based features along with temporal features. The extracted feature set is independently classified using multilayer perceptron neural network (MLPNN). The performances are evaluated on several normal and abnormal ECG signals from 44 recordings of the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. In this work, the performances of three feature extraction techniques with MLP-NN classifier are compared using five classes of ECG beat recommended by AAMI (Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation) standards. The average sensitivity performances of the proposed feature extraction technique for N, S, F, V, and Q are 95.70%, 78.05%, 49.60%, 89.68%, and 33.89%, respectively. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed feature extraction techniques show better performances compared to other existing features extraction techniques.
