In this paper, in order to improve the classification accuracy with features as few as possible, a new hierarchical recognition method based on an improved SVM decision tree and the layered feature selection method combining neural network with genetic algorithm are proposed. The improved SVM decision tree is constructed according to confusion degrees between two emotions or those between two emotion groups. The classifier in each node of the improved decision tree is a SVM. On the emotional speech corpus recorded by our workgroup including 7 emotions, with the features and parameters gotten by the method combining neural network with genetic algorithm, improved SVM decision tree, multi-SVM, SVM-based binary decision tree, the traditional SVM-based decision directed acyclic graph and HMM are evaluated respectively. The experiments reveal that, compared with the other four methods, the proposed method in this paper appears better classification accuracy with fewer features and less time.

Risk Of Cancer

An artificial neural network (ANN) is a tool that can be utilized to recognize cancer effectively. Nowadays, the risk of cancer is increasing dramatically all over the world. Detecting cancer is very difficult due to a lack of data. Proper data are essential for detecting cancer accurately. Cancer classification has been carried out by many researchers, but there is still a need to improve classification accuracy. For this purpose, in this research, a two-step feature selection (FS) technique with a 15-neuron neural network (NN), which classifies cancer with high accuracy, is proposed. The FS method is utilized to reduce feature attributes, and the 15-neuron network is utilized to classify the cancer. This research utilized the benchmark Wisconsin Diagnostic Breast Cancer (WDBC) dataset to compare the proposed method with other existing techniques, showing a significant improvement of up to 99.4% in classification accuracy. The results produced in this research are more promising and significant than those in existing papers.

Feature Selection Technique

Speech emotion recognition (SER) is a challenging issue because it is not clear which features are effective for classification. Emotionally related features are always extracted from speech signals for emotional classification. Handcrafted features are mainly used for emotional identification from audio signals. However, these features are not sufficient to correctly identify the emotional state of the speaker. The advantages of a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) are investigated in the proposed work. A pretrained framework is used to extract the features from speech emotion databases. In this work, we adopt the feature selection (FS) approach to find the discriminative and most important features for SER. Many algorithms are used for the emotion classification problem. We use the random forest (RF), decision tree (DT), support vector machine (SVM), multilayer perceptron classifier (MLP), and k-nearest neighbors (KNN) to classify seven emotions. All experiments are performed by utilizing four different publicly accessible databases. Our method obtains accuracies of 92.02%, 88.77%, 93.61%, and 77.23% for Emo-DB, SAVEE, RAVDESS, and IEMOCAP, respectively, for speaker-dependent (SD) recognition with the feature selection method. Furthermore, compared to current handcrafted feature-based SER methods, the proposed method shows the best results for speaker-independent SER. For EMO-DB, all classifiers attain an accuracy of more than 80% with or without the feature selection technique.

The fast development of web sites and the number of product on these websites are available. The purpose of classification of sentiment is to efficiently identify opinion expressed in text. This paper compares three different optimized models including genetic optimized feature selection method, Genetic Algorithm (GA), ensemble approach that uses information gain and genetic algorithm as feature selection methods incorporated SVM model, Genetic Bagging (GB) and the next method uses optimized feature selection as feature selection technique incorporated back propagation model, Genetic Neural Network (GNN) models are compared. We are tested in sentiment analysis using sample multi-domain review datasets and movie review dataset.. These approaches are tested using various quality metrics and the results show that the Genetic Bagging (GB) technique outperforms in classifying the sentiment of the multi domain reviews and movie reviews. An empirical analysis is performed to compare the level of importance of the classifiers GB, GNN methods with McNemar’s statistical method.

Aim and Objective: Cancer is a dangerous disease worldwide, caused by somatic mutations in the genome. Diagnosis of this deadly disease at an early stage is exceptionally new clinical application of microarray data. In DNA microarray technology, gene expression data have a high dimension with small sample size. Therefore, the development of efficient and robust feature selection methods is indispensable that identify a small set of genes to achieve better classification performance. Materials and Methods: In this study, we developed a hybrid feature selection method that integrates correlation-based feature selection (CFS) and Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm (MOEA) approaches which select the highly informative genes. The hybrid model with Redial base function neural network (RBFNN) classifier has been evaluated on 11 benchmark gene expression datasets by employing a 10-fold cross-validation test. Results: The experimental results are compared with seven conventional-based feature selection and other methods in the literature, which shows that our approach owned the obvious merits in the aspect of classification accuracy ratio and some genes selected by extensive comparing with other methods. Conclusion: Our proposed CFS-MOEA algorithm attained up to 100% classification accuracy for six out of eleven datasets with a minimal sized predictive gene subset.

Selection Methods

In Microarray Data, it is complicated to achieve more classification accuracy due to the presence of high dimensions, irrelevant and noisy data. And also It had more gene expression data and fewer samples. To increase the classification accuracy and the processing speed of the model, an optimal number of features need to extract, this can be achieved by applying the feature selection method. In this paper, we propose a hybrid ensemble feature selection method. The proposed method has two phases, filter and wrapper phase in filter phase ensemble technique is used for aggregating the feature ranks of the Relief, minimum redundancy Maximum Relevance (mRMR), and Feature Correlation (FC) filter feature selection methods. This paper uses the Fuzzy Gaussian membership function ordering for aggregating the ranks. In wrapper phase, Improved Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (IBPSO) is used for selecting the optimal features, and the RBF Kernel-based Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is used as an evaluator. The performance of the proposed model are compared with state of art feature selection methods using five benchmark datasets. For evaluation various performance metrics such as Accuracy, Recall, Precision, and F1-Score are used. Furthermore, the experimental results show that the performance of the proposed method outperforms the other feature selection methods.
