This paper investigates the impact of using different indexing approaches (full-word, stem, and root) when classifying Arabic text. In this study, the naïve Bayes classifier is used to construct the multinomial classification models and is evaluated using stratified k-fold cross-validation ( k ranges from 2 to 10). It is also uses a corpus that consists of 1000 normalized Arabic documents. The results of one experiment in this study show that significant accuracy improvements have occurred when the full-word form is used in most k-folds. Further experiments show that the classifier has achieved the highest accuracy in the eight-fold by using 7/8–1/8 train–test ratio, despite the indexing approach being used. The overall results of this study show that the classifier has achieved the maximum micro-average accuracy 99.36%, either by using the full-word form or the stem form. This proves that the stem is a better choice to use when classifying Arabic text, because it makes the corpus dataset smaller and this will enhance both the processing time and storage utilization, and achieve the highest level of accuracy.

In this paper, an experimental study was conducted on three techniques for Arabic text classification. These techniques are Support Vector Machine (SVM) with Sequential Minimal Optimization (SMO), Naïve Bayesian (NB), and J48. The paper assesses the accuracy for each classifier and determines which classifier is more accurate for Arabic text classification based on stop words elimination. The accuracy for each classifier is measured by Percentage split method (holdout), and K-fold cross validation methods, along with the time needed to classify Arabic text. The results show that the SMO classifier achieves the highest accuracy and the lowest error rate, and shows that the time needed to build the SMO model is much lower compared to other classification techniques.

Berita kriminalitas merupakan berita yang selalu menjadi trending topik di setiap media massa, khususnya media massa online. Media massa online terlah menyediakan beberapa fasilitas untuk mempermudah masyarakan dalam mencari sebuah berita berdasarkan topik. Media massa online melabeli suatu berita berdasarkan kategorinya. Namun, media massa online tidak memberikan sub kategori pada berita tersebut. Sebagai contoh jika seorang pengguna membuka kategori kriminal, maka yang ditampilkan adalah semua jenis berita kriminal tanpa memberikan informasi yang spesifik dari jenis kriminalitasnya. Permasalahan tersebut dapat diatasi dengan mengklasifikasikan berita kriminalitas berdasarkan subkategori. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Naïve Bayes Classifier (NBC)  untuk mengklasifikasi berita berdasarkan sub kategorinya. Adapun subkategori terbagi kedalam 5 kategori yaitu korupsi, narkoba, pencurian, pemerkosaan dan pembunuhan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kemampuan NBC dalam mengklasifikasi berita dengan melakukan pengujian menggunakan teknik K-Fold Cross Validation dengan nilai K dari 3 sampai 10. Hasil pengujian menyatakan bahwa NBC memiliki kemampuan dalam klasifikasi berita kriminal dengan nilai precision sebesar 98,53 %, nilai recall sebesar 98,44 % dan nilai accuracy sebesar 99,38 %.

The first of the research objectives discussed in this article was to analyze the differences related to the valuation of particular factors influencing the purchase process in the smartphone industry, expressed by respondents with different sensitivity and environmental awareness, as well as the assessment of their knowledge about the impact of smartphones on the natural environment. The second objective of the research was to determine whether the level of environmental sensitivity, awareness and knowledge about the impact of smartphones on the environment has a statistically significant influence on the respondents’ choice of smartphone brand. The survey was conducted using an on-line questionnaire, distributed by a specialized research agency on a representative sample of over 1000 Polish residents. In order to identify the various customers clusters, the expectation-maximization algorithm and the v-fold cross-validation were used. Additionally, in order to analyze the significance level of differences between clusters the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U-test was carried out. The results show unequivocally that people with a different approach to ecological issues demonstrate statistically significant differences in their purchasing behaviors in the smartphone industry. Furthermore, it was noticed that in the case of comparing some smartphones brands, there is a statistically confirmed difference in the environmental sensitivity and awareness of the customers who use them. Moreover, the research has shown that in Polish customers’ consciousness smartphones are mistakenly considered to be relatively safe and environmentally friendly products.

This paper presents a new gender and age classification system based on Electroencephalography (EEG) brain signals. First, Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) technique is used to get the time-frequency information of only one EEG electrode for eight distinct emotional states instead of the ordinary neutral or relax states. Then, sequential steps are implemented to extract the improved grayscale image feature. For system evaluation, a three-fold-cross validation strategy is applied to construct four different classifiers. The experimental test shows that the proposed extracted feature with Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) classifier improves the performance of both gender and age classification, and achieves an average accuracy of 96.3% and 89% for gender and age classification, respectively. Moreover, the ability to predict human gender and age during the mood of different emotional states is practically approved.

Digital soil mapping (DSM) is currently the primary framework for predicting the spatial variation of soil information (soil type or soil properties). Random forests and similarity-based methods have been used widely in DSM. However, the accuracy of the similarity-based approach is limited, and the performance of random forests is affected by the quality of the feature set. The objective of this study was to present a method for soil mapping by integrating the similarity-based approach and the random forests method. The Heshan area (Heilongjiang province, China) was selected as the case study for mapping soil subgroups. The results of the regular validation samples showed that the overall accuracy of the integrated method (71.79%) is higher than that of a similarity-based approach (58.97%) and random forests (66.67%). The results of the 5-fold cross-validation showed that the overall accuracy of the integrated method, similarity-based approach, and random forests range from 55% to 72.73%, 43.48% to 69.57%, and 54.17% to 70.83%, with an average accuracy of 66.61%, 57.39%, and 59.62%, respectively. These results suggest that the proposed method can produce a high-quality covariate set and achieve a better performance than either the random forests or similarity-based approach alone.

Accurate and timely diagnosis of COVID-19 is indispensable to control its spread. This study proposes a novel explainable COVID-19 diagnosis system called CGENet based on graph embedding and an extreme learning machine for chest CT images. We put forward an optimal backbone selection algorithm to select the best backbone for the CGENet based on transfer learning. Then, we introduced graph theory into the ResNet-18 based on the k-nearest neighbors. Finally, an extreme learning machine was trained as the classifier of the CGENet. The proposed CGENet was evaluated on a large publicly-available COVID-19 dataset and produced an average accuracy of 97.78% based on 5-fold cross-validation. In addition, we utilized the Grad-CAM maps to present a visual explanation of the CGENet based on COVID-19 samples. In all, the proposed CGENet can be an effective and efficient tool to assist COVID-19 diagnosis.

Abstract Background Machine learning studies require a large number of images often obtained on different PET scanners. When merging these images, the use of harmonized images following EARL-standards is essential. However, when including retrospective images, EARL accreditation might not have been in place. The aim of this study was to develop a convolutional neural network (CNN) that can identify retrospectively if an image is EARL compliant and if it is meeting older or newer EARL-standards. Materials and Methods 96 PET images acquired on three PET/CT systems were included in the study. All images were reconstructed with the locally clinically preferred, EARL1, and EARL2 compliant reconstruction protocols. After image pre-processing, one CNN was trained to separate clinical and EARL compliant reconstructions. A second CNN was optimized to identify EARL1 and EARL2 compliant images. The accuracy of both CNNs was assessed using 5-fold cross validation. The CNNs were validated on 24 images acquired on a PET scanner not included in the training data. To assess the impact of image noise on the CNN decision, the 24 images were reconstructed with different scan durations. Results In the cross-validation, the first CNN classified all images correctly. When identifying EARL1 and EARL2 compliant images, the second CNN identified 100% EARL1 compliant and 85% EARL2 compliant images correctly. The accuracy in the independent dataset was comparable to the cross-validation accuracy. The scan duration had almost no impact on the results. Conclusion The two CNNs trained in this study can be used to retrospectively include images in a multi-center setting by e.g. adding additional smoothing. This method is especially important for machine learning studies where the harmonization of images from different PET systems is essential.

File fragment classification is an essential problem in digital forensics. Although several attempts had been made to solve this challenging problem, a general solution has not been found. In this work, we propose a hierarchical machine-learning-based approach with optimized support vector machines (SVM) as the base classifiers for file fragment classification. This approach consists of more general classifiers at the top level and more specialized fine-grain classifiers at the lower levels of the hierarchy. We also propose a primitive taxonomy for file types that can be used to perform hierarchical classification. We evaluate our model with a dataset of 14 file types, with 1000 fragments measuring 512 bytes from each file type derived from a subset of the publicly available Digital Corpora, the govdocs1 corpus. Our experiment shows comparable results to the present literature, with an average accuracy of 67.78% and an F1-measure of 65% using 10-fold cross-validation. We then improve on the hierarchy and find better results, with an increase in the F1-measure of 1%. Finally, we make our assessment and observations, then conclude the paper by discussing the scope of future research.
