The purpose of this paper is to develop an effective method to identify upper limb motions based on EMG signal for community rehabilitation. The method will be applicable to the control system in the rehabilitation equipment and provide objective data for quantitative assessment. The recognition goal sets of upper limb motion are constructed by decomposing assessment activities of activity of daily living scale (ADL). The recognition feature vector space is established by Variance (VAR), Mean Absolute Value (MAV), the fourth-order Autoregressive (the 4thAR), Zero Crossings (ZC’s), integral EMG (IEMG), and Root Mean Square (RMS), and various feature sets are extracted to get the best classification. Locally linear embedding (LLE) algorithm is used to reduce the computational complexity, and upper limb motions about shoulder, elbow and wrist are quickly classified through extreme leaving machine (ELM), which obtained the average accuracy of 98.14%, 98.61% and 94.77%, respectively. Furthermore, when ELM is compared with Back-propagation (BP) and Support vector machine (SVM), it has performed relatively better than BP and SVM. The results show that the validity of the mixed model for recognition is verified. In addition, the method can also provide a basis for recognition and assessment of the angle of upper limb joint in the next study.

Abstract Self-interactions Protein (SIPs) play crucial roles in biological activities of organisms. Many high-throughput methods can be used to identify SIPs. However, these methods are both time-consuming and expensive. How to develop effective computational approaches for identifying SIPs is a challenging task. In the paper, we presented a novelty computational method called RRN-SIFT, which combines the Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) with Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) to predict SIPs based on protein evolutionary information. The main advantage of the proposed RNN-SIFT model is that it used SIFT for extracting key feature by exploring the evolutionary information embedded in PSI-BLAST-constructed position specific scoring matrix (PSSM) and employed RNN classifier to carry out classification based on extracted features. Extensive experiments show that the RRN-SIFT obtained average accuracy of 94.34% and 97.12% on yeast and human dataset. We also compared our performance with the Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN), the state-of-the-art support vector machine (SVM) and other exiting methods. By comparing with experimental results, the performance of RNN-SIFT is significantly better than those of the BPNN, SVM and other previous methods in the domain. Therefore, we can come to the conclusion that the proposed RNN-SIFT model is useful tools and can execute incredibly well for predicting SIPs, as well as other bioinformatics tasks. In order to facilitate widely studies and encourage future proteomics research, a freely available web server called RNN-SIFT-SIPs was developed, and is available at http://219.219.62.123:8888/RNNSIFT/ and includes source code and SIPs datasets.

Cardiovascular diseases have become more and more prominent in recent years, which have proven to be a major threat to people's health. Accurate detection of arrhythmia in patients has important implications for clinical treatment. The aim of this study was to propose a novel automatic classification method for arrhythmia in order to improve classification accuracy. The electrocardiogram (ECG) signal was subjected preprocessing for denoising purposes using a wavelet transform. Then, the local and global characteristics of the beat, which contained RR interval features according with the clinical diagnosis criterion, morphology features based on wavelet packet decomposition and statistical features along with kurtosis coefficient, skewness coefficient and variance are exploited and fused. Meanwhile, the dimensionality of wavelet packet coefficients were reduced via principal component analysis (PCA). Finally, these features were used as the input of the random forest classifier to train the model and were then compared with the support vector machine (SVM) and back propagation (BP) neural networks. Based on 100,647 beats from the MIT-BIH database, the proposed method achieved an average accuracy, specificity and sensitivity of 99.08%, 99.00% and 89.31%, respectively, using the intra-patient beats, and 92.31%, 89.98% and 37.47%, respectively, using the inter-patient beats. Moreover, two classification schemes, namely, inter-patient and intra-patient scheme, were validated. Compared with the other methods referred to in this paper, the performance of the novel method yielded better results.

Motor Intention

Electromyography (EMG) signal is one of the extensively utilised biological signals for predicting human motor intention, which is an essential element in human-robot collaboration platforms. Studies on motion intention prediction from EMG signals have often been concentrated on either classification and regression models of muscle activity. In this study, we leverage the information from the EMG signals, to detect the subject’s intentions in generating motion commands for a robot-assisted upper limb rehabilitation platform. The EMG signals are recorded from ten healthy subjects’ biceps muscle, and the movements of the upper limb evaluated are voluntary elbow flexion and extension along the sagittal plane. The signals are filtered through a fifth-order Butterworth filter. A number of features were extracted from the filtered signals namely waveform length (WL), mean absolute value (MAV), root mean square (RMS), standard deviation (SD), minimum (MIN) and maximum (MAX). Several different classifiers viz. Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Logistic Regression (LR), Decision Tree (DT), Support Vector Machine (SVM) and k-Nearest Neighbour (k-NN) were investigated on its efficacy to accurately classify the pre-intention and intention classes based on the significant features identified (MIN and MAX) via Extremely Randomised Tree feature selection technique. It was observed from the present investigation that the DT classifier yielded an excellent classification with a classification accuracy of 100%, 99% and 99% on training, testing and validation dataset, respectively based on the identified features. The findings of the present investigation are non-trivial towards facilitating the rehabilitation phase of patients based on their actual capability and hence, would eventually yield a more active participation from them.

In this paper, we introduce a new approach for nonlinear demodulation based on multi-class support vector machine (SVM) classification. We propose to measure the performance of this demodulator with different M which is the parameter of M-ray position phase shift keying (MPPSK) modulation, and compare with other demodulation technique. During demodulation, a few sampling points are chosen for multi-class SVM training and testing, which can reduce the complexity of system. Simulation results show that this new approach significantly outperforms the method of using Phase Locked Loop (PLL) demodulation by 10dB, and also better than Back Propagation Artificial Neural Networks (ANN-BP) classification demodulation. With the growth of M, the data rate increased and the performance become a little worse, but less bit SNR is used to achieve the same Symbol Error Rate (SER) as small M. So, it is an effective method to get better performance by using multi-class SVM classification technique for demodulation in MPPSK system.

Machine learning algorithm, as an important method for numerical modeling, has been widely used for chlorophyll-a concentration inversion modeling. This work aims to build an effective inversion model of chlorophyll-a concentration in Lake Donghu based on machine learning algorithm. Toward this aim, a variety of models were built by applying five kinds of dataset and adopting back propagation neural network (BPNN), extreme learning machine (ELM), support vector machine (SVM). The model accuracy analysis results revealed that multi-factor dataset for modeling has the possibility to improve the accuracy of the single-factor model, and seven band combinations are better than seven single bands when modeling, Besides, SVM is more suitable than BPNN and ELM for chlorophyll-a concentration inversion modeling of Donghu Lake. SVM3 is the best inversion one among all multi-factor models that the MRE, MAE, RMSE of SF-SVM are 30.82%, 9.44 μg/L and 12.66 μg/L, respectively. SF-SVM performs a better inversion effect than SF-BPNN and SF-ELM, the MRE, MAE, RMSE of SF-SVM are 28.63%, 13.69μg/L and 16.49μg/L, respectively. In addition, the simulation effect of SVM3 is better than that of SF-SVM. On the whole, an effective model for retrieving chlorophyll-a concentration has been built based on machine learning algorithm, and our work provides a reliable basis and promotion for exploring accurate and applicable chlorophyll-a inversion model.

AbstractA connectionist model for decision support was constructed out of several back-propagation modules. Manifestations serve as input to the model; they may be real-valued, and the confidence in their measurement may be specified. The model produces as its output the posterior probability of disease. The model was trained on 1,000 cases taken from a simulated underlying population with three conditionally independent manifestations. The first manifestation had a linear relationship between value and posterior probability of disease, the second had a stepped relationship, and the third was normally distributed. An independent test set of 30,000 cases showed that the model was better able to estimate the posterior probability of disease (the standard deviation of residuals was 0.046, with a 95% confidence interval of 0.046-0.047) than a model constructed using logistic regression (with a standard deviation of residuals of 0.062, with a 95% confidence interval of 0.062-0.063). The model fitted the normal and stepped manifestations better than the linear one. It accommodated intermediate levels of confidence well.

Background: Cell lytic enzyme is a kind of highly evolved protein, which can destroy the cell structure and kill the bacteria. Compared with antibiotics, cell lytic enzyme will not cause serious problem of drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria. Thus, the study of cell wall lytic enzymes aims at finding an efficient way for curing bacteria infectious. Compared with using antibiotics, the problem of drug resistance becomes more serious. Therefore, it is a good choice for curing bacterial infections by using cell lytic enzymes. Cell lytic enzyme includes endolysin and autolysin and the difference between them is the purpose of the break of cell wall. The identification of the type of cell lytic enzymes is meaningful for the study of cell wall enzymes. Objective: In this article, our motivation is to predict the type of cell lytic enzyme. Cell lytic enzyme is helpful for killing bacteria, so it is meaningful for study the type of cell lytic enzyme. However, it is time consuming to detect the type of cell lytic enzyme by experimental methods. Thus, an efficient computational method for the type of cell lytic enzyme prediction is proposed in our work. Method: We propose a computational method for the prediction of endolysin and autolysin. First, a data set containing 27 endolysins and 41 autolysins is built. Then the protein is represented by tripeptides composition. The features are selected with larger confidence degree. At last, the classifier is trained by the labeled vectors based on support vector machine. The learned classifier is used to predict the type of cell lytic enzyme. Results: Following the proposed method, the experimental results show that the overall accuracy can attain 97.06%, when 44 features are selected. Compared with Ding's method, our method improves the overall accuracy by nearly 4.5% ((97.06-92.9)/92.9%). The performance of our proposed method is stable, when the selected feature number is from 40 to 70. The overall accuracy of tripeptides optimal feature set is 94.12%, and the overall accuracy of Chou's amphiphilic PseAAC method is 76.2%. The experimental results also demonstrate that the overall accuracy is improved by nearly 18% when using the tripeptides optimal feature set. Conclusion: The paper proposed an efficient method for identifying endolysin and autolysin. In this paper, support vector machine is used to predict the type of cell lytic enzyme. The experimental results show that the overall accuracy of the proposed method is 94.12%, which is better than some existing methods. In conclusion, the selected 44 features can improve the overall accuracy for identification of the type of cell lytic enzyme. Support vector machine performs better than other classifiers when using the selected feature set on the benchmark data set.

Muscular Activation

The aim of this study was to compare the influence of constant or intermittent load on muscle activation and fatigue. The analysis and assessment of muscular activation and fatigue was based on surface EMG measurements from eight muscles (seven muscles of the right upper limb and trapezius muscle). Two EMG signal parameters were analyzed for each of the experimental conditions distinguished by the value of the external force and the character of the load – constant or intermittent. The amplitude related to its maximum (AMP) and the slope of the regression line between time and median frequency (SMF) were the EMG parameters that were analyzed. The results showed that constant load caused higher muscular fatigue than intermittent load despite the lower value of the external force and lower muscle activation. Results suggest that additional external force might influence muscle activation and fatigue more than upper limb posture. The results of the study support the thesis that all biomechanical factors which influence upper limb load and fatigue (upper limb posture, external force and time sequences) should be considered when work stands and work processes are designed. They also indicate that constant load should be especially avoided.

This paper proposes a method for detecting non-line-of-sight (NLOS) multipath, which causes large positioning errors in a global navigation satellite system (GNSS). We use GNSS signal correlation output, which is the most primitive GNSS signal processing output, to detect NLOS multipath based on machine learning. The shape of the multi-correlator outputs is distorted due to the NLOS multipath. The features of the shape of the multi-correlator are used to discriminate the NLOS multipath. We implement two supervised learning methods, a support vector machine (SVM) and a neural network (NN), and compare their performance. In addition, we also propose an automated method of collecting training data for LOS and NLOS signals of machine learning. The evaluation of the proposed NLOS detection method in an urban environment confirmed that NN was better than SVM, and 97.7% of NLOS signals were correctly discriminated.

Fatigue is an important factor affecting modern flight safety. It can easily lead to a decline in pilots’ operational ability, misjudgments, and flight illusions. Moreover, it can even trigger serious flight accidents. In this paper, a wearable wireless physiological device was used to obtain pilots’ electrocardiogram (ECG) data in a simulated flight experiment, and 1440 effective samples were determined. The Friedman test was adopted to select the characteristic indexes that reflect the fatigue state of the pilot from the time domain, frequency domain, and non-linear characteristics of the effective samples. Furthermore, the variation rules of the characteristic indexes were analyzed. Principal component analysis (PCA) was utilized to extract the features of the selected feature indexes, and the feature parameter set representing the fatigue state of the pilot was established. For the study on pilots’ fatigue state identification, the feature parameter set was used as the input of the learning vector quantization (LVQ) algorithm to train the pilots’ fatigue state identification model. Results show that the recognition accuracy of the LVQ model reached 81.94%, which is 12.84% and 9.02% higher than that of traditional back propagation neural network (BPNN) and support vector machine (SVM) model, respectively. The identification model based on the LVQ established in this paper is suitable for identifying pilots’ fatigue states. This is of great practical significance to reduce flight accidents caused by pilot fatigue, thus providing a theoretical foundation for pilot fatigue risk management and the development of intelligent aircraft autopilot systems.
