Multi-channel mechanomyography (MMG) signals were acquired from the forearm when the subjects were performing eight classes of hand movements related to rehabilitation training. Ten time domain (TD) features and wavelet packet node energy (WPNE) features were extracted from each channel of MMG, and the hand movements were classified by support vector machine (SVM), extreme learning machine (ELM), linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and [Formula: see text]-nearest neighborhood (KNN) and the classifying results of three methods of collecting MMG (sensors directly on skin, sensors on cotton fabric and sensors on acrylic fiber) were compared. When all TD features were selected and SVM was adopted as the classifier, the total recognition rates of hand movements were 94.0%, 93.9% and 93.6%, respectively, of three collection methods. Using ELM can obtain similar results as SVM, with the recognition rates of 94.3%, 94.3% and 94.1%, respectively, better than using LDA (88.5%, 88.6% and 88.0%) or KNN (88.9%, 89.4% and 89.0%). For each algorithm, using TD features can acquire the highest recognition rates. Once the feature set and the classifier were selected, the total recognition rates were almost equally among three collection methods (especially for some feature sets, the differences are smaller than 1%). The results confirmed that satisfactory effects could be acquired even when the MMG was collected from sensors on fabrics with specific material, thus indicating that MMG has a unique potential value for developing wearable devices.

Biometric technology has been commonly used for authentication. Fingerprint or iris become one of the biometrics that is widely applied. However, this type of biometrics tends to be easily falsified and damaged. So it is misused for manipulating actions and even crime. Therefore a new biometric method is needed to overcome this problem. One potential modality is biometrics based on an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. This research simulates a one-lead ECG waveform for person authentication. ECG waves were taken from eleven healthy adult volunteers with a length of 60 seconds. ECG waves from each person are segmented into 10 sections so that a total of 110 ECG waves are used for person authentication simulations. All noise of the ECG waves was removed using a bandpass filter to reduce artifacts and high-frequency noise. Wavelet packet decomposition (3 Level) was applied to decompose the signal in several intrinsic parts so that typical wave information can be retrieved. Entropy-based feature extraction applied to all decomposed signals. A total of 14 entropy features have been calculated and used as predictors in the classification process. Validation and performance tests are carried out by cross-validation combined with linear discriminant analysis and support vector machines with five scenarios. The proposed method provides the highest accuracy of 71.8% using discriminant analysis and cubic support vector machine. The best accuracy value was achieved if all entropy features from all wavelet decomposition levels are used as predictors in the classification process. This research is expected to be a reference that ECG has the potential to become a future biometric modality

Myoelectric pattern recognition (MPR) is used to detect user’s intention to achieve a smooth interaction between human and machine. The performance of MPR is influenced by the features extracted and the classifier employed. A kernel extreme learning machine especially radial basis function extreme learning machine (RBF-ELM) has emerged as one of the potential classifiers for MPR. However, RBF-ELM should be optimized to work efficiently. This paper proposed an optimization of RBF-ELM parameters using hybridization of particle swarm optimization (PSO) and a wavelet function. These proposed systems are employed to classify finger movements on the amputees and able-bodied subjects using electromyography signals. The experimental results show that the accuracy of the optimized RBF-ELM is 95.71% and 94.27% in the healthy subjects and the amputees, respectively. Meanwhile, the optimization using PSO only attained the average accuracy of 95.53 %, and 92.55 %, on the healthy subjects and the amputees, respectively. The experimental results also show that SW-RBF-ELM achieved the accuracy that is better than other well-known classifiers such as support vector machine (SVM), linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and k-nearest neighbor (kNN).

The principle objective of this chapter is to build up a churn prediction model which helps telecom administrators to foresee clients who are no doubt liable to agitate. Many studies affirmed that AI innovation is profoundly effective to anticipate this circumstance as it is applied through training from past information. The prediction procedure is involved three primary stages: normalization of the data, then feature selection based on information gain, and finally, classification utilizing different AI methods, for example, back propagation neural network (BPNNM), naïve Bayesian, k-nearest neighborhood (KNN), support vector machine (SVM), discriminant analysis (DA), decision tree (DT), and extreme learning machine (ELM). It is shown from simulation study that out of these seven methods SVM with polynomial based kernel is coming about 91.33% of precision where ELM is at the primary situation with 92.10% of exactness and MLANN-based CCP model is at third rank with 90.4% of accuracy. Similar observation is noted for 10-fold cross validation also.

Abstract Background Machine learning is a branch of Artificial Intelligence that is concerned with the design and development of algorithms, and it enables today’s computers to have the property of learning. Machine learning is gradually growing and becoming a critical approach in many domains such as health, education, and business. Methods In this paper, we applied machine learning to the diabetes dataset with the aim of recognizing patterns and combinations of factors that characterizes or explain re-admission among diabetes patients. The classifiers used include Linear Discriminant Analysis, Random Forest, k–Nearest Neighbor, Naïve Bayes, J48 and Support vector machine. Results Of the 100,000 cases, 78,363 were diabetic and over 47% were readmitted.Based on the classes that models produced, diabetic patients who are more likely to be readmitted are either women, or Caucasians, or outpatients, or those who undergo less rigorous lab procedures, treatment procedures, or those who receive less medication, and are thus discharged without proper improvements or administration of insulin despite having been tested positive for HbA1c. Conclusion Diabetic patients who do not undergo vigorous lab assessments, diagnosis, medications are more likely to be readmitted when discharged without improvements and without receiving insulin administration, especially if they are women, Caucasians, or both.

AbstractThe first part of this study investigated pattern recognition of head movements based on mechanomyography (MMG) signals. Four channel MMG signals were collected from the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscles and the splenius capitis (SPL) muscles in the subjects’ neck when they bowed the head, raised the head, side-bent to left, side-bent to right, turned to left and turned to right. The MMG signals were then filtered, normalized and divided using an unequal length segmentation algorithm into a single action frame. After extracting the energy features of the wavelet packet coefficients and the feature of the principal diagonal slices of the bispectrum, the dimension of the energy features were reduced by the Fisher linear discriminant analysis (FLDA). Finally, all the features were classified through the support vector machine (SVM) classifier. The recognition rate was up to 95.92%. On this basis, the second part of this study used the head movements to control a car model for simulating the control of a wheelchair, and the success rate was 85.74%.

Nutrition diagnosis plays a key role in the crop’s growth, which has mainly been carried out in the field by agricultural workers. Currently, automatic nutrition recognition technologies have been widely used in this field. A procedure is proposed in this paper to diagnose nitrogen nutrition non-destructively for rapeseed qualitatively based on the multifractal theory. Twelve texture parameters are given by the method of multifractal detrended fluctuation (MF-DFA), which contains six generalized Hurst exponents and six relative multifractal parameters that are used as features of the rapeseed leaf images for identifying the two nitrogen levels, namely, the [Formula: see text]-mezzo and the [Formula: see text]-wane. For the base leaves, central leaves and top leaves of the rapeseed plant and the three-section mixed samples, three parameters combinations are selected to conduct the work. Five classifiers of Fisher’s linear discriminant algorithm (LDA), extreme learning machine (ELM), support vector machine and kernel method (SVMKM), random decision forests (RF) and [Formula: see text]-nearest neighbor algorithm (KNN) are employed to calculate the diagnosis accuracy. An interesting finding is that the best diagnose accuracy is from the base leaves of the rapeseed plant. It is explained that the base leaf is the most sensitive to the nitrogen deficiency. The diagnose effect by the base leaves samples is outshining the existing result significantly for the same leaves samples. For the mixed samples, the averaged discriminant accuracy reaches 97.12% and 97.56% by SVMKM and RF methods with the [Formula: see text]-fold cross-validation respectively. The resulting high accuracy on [Formula: see text]-levels identification shows the feasibility and efficiency of our method.

AbstractThis paper presents a novel sparse ensemble based machine learning approach to enhance robustness of intracortical Brain Machine Interfaces (iBMIs) in the face of non-stationary distribution of input neural data across time. Each classifier in the ensemble is trained on a randomly sampled (with replacement) set of input channels. These sparse connections ensure that with a high chance, few of the base classifiers should be less affected by the variations in some of the recording channels. We have tested the generality of this technique on different base classifiers - linear discriminant analysis (LDA), support vector machine (SVM), extreme learning machine (ELM) and multilayer perceptron (MLP). Results show decoding accuracy improvements of up to ≈ 21%, 13%, 19%, 10% in non-human primate (NHP) A and 7%, 9%, 7%, 9% in NHP B across test days while using the sparse ensemble approach over a single classifier model for LDA, SVM, ELM and MLP algorithms respectively. The technique also holds ground when the most informative electrode on the test day is dropped. Accordingly, improvements of up to ≈ 24%, 11%, 22%, 9% in NHP A and 14%, 19%, 7%, 28% in NHP B are obtained for LDA, SVM, ELM and MLP respectively.

Aiming at connatural limitations of extreme learning machine in practice, a new fault diagnosis method based on wavelet packet-energy entropy and fuzzy kernel extreme learning machine is proposed. On one hand, the presented method can extract the more efficient features using the wavelet packet-energy entropy method, and on the other hand, the sample fuzzy membership degree matrix U, weight matrix W which is used to describe the sample imbalance, and the kernel function are introduced to construct the fuzzy kernel extreme learning machine model with high accuracy and reliability. The experimental results of rolling bearing and check valve are obtained and analyzed in MATLAB 2010b. The results show that the proposed fuzzy kernel extreme learning machine method can obtain fairly or slightly better classification performance than the traditional extreme learning machine, kernel extreme learning machine, back propagation, support vector machine, and fuzzy support vector machine.
