This paper presents an innovative classification system for hand gestures using 2-channel surface electromyography analysis. The system developed uses the Support Vector Machine classifier, for which the kernel function and parameter optimisation are conducted additionally by the Cuckoo Search swarm algorithm. The system developed is compared with standard Support Vector Machine classifiers with various kernel functions. The average classification rate of 98.12% has been achieved for the proposed method.

This paper presents a weighted support vector machine (WSVM) to improve the outlier sensitivity problem of standard support vector machine (SVM) for two-class data classification. The basic idea is to assign different weights to different data points such that the WSVM training algorithm learns the decision surface according to the relative importance of data points in the training data set. The weights used in WSVM are generated by a robust fuzzy clustering algorithm, kernel-based possibilistic c-means (KPCM) algorithm, whose partition generates relative high values for important data points but low values for outliers. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method reduces the effect of outliers and yields higher classification rate than standard SVM does when outliers exist in the training data set.

Abstract Accurate prediction of product failures and the need for repair services become critical for various reasons, including understanding the warranty performance of manufacturers, defining cost-efficient repair strategies, and compliance with safety standards. The purpose of this study is to use machine learning tools to analyze several parameters crucial for achieving a robust repair service system, including the number of repairs, the time of the next repair ticket or product failure, and the time to repair. A large dataset of over 530,000 repairs and maintenance of medical devices has been investigated by employing the Support Vector Machine (SVM) tool. SVM with four kernel functions is used to forecast the timing of the next failure or repair request in the system for two different products and two different failure types, namely random failure and physical damage. A frequency analysis is also conducted to explore the product quality level based on product failure and the time to repair it. Besides, the best probability distributions are fitted for the number of failures, the time between failures, and the time to repair. The results reveal the value of data analytics and machine learning tools in analyzing post-market product performance and the cost of repair and maintenance operations.

Background: Protein sequence analysis helps in the prediction of protein functions. As the number of proteins increases, it gives the bioinformaticians a challenge to analyze and study the similarity between them. Most of the existing protein analysis methods use Support Vector Machine. Deep learning did not receive much attention regarding protein analysis as it is noted that little work focused on studying the protein diseases classification. Objective: The contribution of this paper is to present a deep learning approach that classifies protein diseases based on protein descriptors. Methods: Different protein descriptors are used and decomposed into modified feature descriptors. Uniquely, we introduce using Convolutional Neural Network model to learn and classify protein diseases. The modified feature descriptors are fed to the Convolutional Neural Network model on a dataset of 1563 protein sequences classified into 3 different disease classes: Aids, Tumor suppressor, and Proto oncogene. Results: The usage of the modified feature descriptors shows a significant increase in the performance of the Convolutional Neural Network model over Support Vector Machine using different kernel functions. One modified feature descriptor improved by 19.8%, 27.9%, 17.6%, 21.5%, 17.3%, and 22% for evaluation metrics: Area Under the Curve, Matthews Correlation Coefficient, Accuracy, F1-score, Recall, and Precision, respectively. Conclusion: Results show that the prediction of the proposed modified feature descriptors significantly surpasses that of Support Vector Machine model.

Abstract: Emotions recognition from the speech is one of the foremost vital subdomains within the sphere of signal process. during this work, our system may be a two-stage approach, particularly feature extraction, and classification engine. Firstly, 2 sets of options square measure investigated that are: thirty-nine Mel-frequency Cepstral coefficients (MFCC) and sixty-five MFCC options extracted supported the work of [20]. Secondly, we've got a bent to use the Support Vector Machine (SVM) because the most classifier engine since it is the foremost common technique within the sector of speech recognition. Besides that, we've a tendency to research the importance of the recent advances in machine learning along with the deep kerne learning, further because the numerous types of auto-encoders (the basic auto-encoder and also the stacked autoencoder). an oversized set of experiments unit conducted on the SAVEE audio information. The experimental results show that the DSVM technique outperforms the standard SVM with a classification rate of sixty-nine. 84% and 68.25% victimization thirty-nine MFCC, severally. To boot, the auto encoder technique outperforms the standard SVM, yielding a classification rate of 73.01%.

Protein fold classification is a key step to predicting protein tertiary structures. This paper proposes a novel approach based on genetic algorithms and feature selection to classifying protein folds. Our dataset is divided into a training dataset and a test dataset. Each individual for the genetic algorithms represents a selection function of the feature vectors of the training dataset. A support vector machine is applied to each individual to evaluate the fitness value (fold classification rate) of each individual. The aim of the genetic algorithms is to search for the best individual that produces the highest fold classification rate. The best individual is then applied to the feature vectors of the test dataset and a support vector machine is built to classify protein folds based on selected features. Our experimental results on Ding and Dubchak's benchmark dataset of 27-class folds show that our approach achieves an accuracy of 71.28%, which outperforms current state-of-the-art protein fold predictors.

In the process of long-term storage, the equipment would happen storage environment contaminated corrosion, mechanical structure stress corrosion damage. Currently,the corrosion fatigue damage prediction accuracy of method was low. Different kernel functions were adopted by this paper to compare based on least squares support vector machine (LSSVM). Besides, comparison was made among the BP neural network method, Standard Support Vector Machines (SVM), Grey System Prediction model Method and the radial basis function kernel least squares support vector machine (RBF_LSSVM) method by the simulation experiment. The optimal results finally were applied to practical engineering. The results showed that high accuracy and performance could be gained by employing the RBF_LSSVM method for predicting the trends of the mechanical structure rivet corrosion.
