Classification Quality

The purpose of the study was to construct an efficient classifier that, along with a given reduced set of discriminant features, could be used as a part of the computer system in automatic identification and classification of ultrasound images of the thyroid gland, which is aimed to detect cases affected by Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. A total of 10 supervised learning techniques and a majority vote for the combined classifier were used. Two models were proposed as a result of the classifier’s construction. The first one is based on the K-nearest neighbours method (for K = 7). It uses three discriminant features and affords sensitivity equal to 88.1%, specificity of 66.7% and classification error at a level of 21.8%. The second model is a combined classifier, which was constructed using three-component classifiers. They are based on the K-nearest neighbours method (for K = 7), linear discriminant analysis and a boosting algorithm. The combined classifier is based on 48 discriminant features. It allows to achieve the classification sensitivity equal to 88.1%, specificity of 69.4% and classification error at a level of 20.5%. The combined classifier allows to improve the classification quality compared to the single model. The models, built as a part of the automatic computer system, may support the physician, especially in first-contact hospitals, in diagnosis of cases that are difficult to recognise based on ultrasound images. The high sensitivity of constructed classification models indicates high detection accuracy of the sick cases, and this is beneficial to the patients from a medical point of view.

AbstractIn order to monitor the high-level landslides frequently occurring in Jinsha River area of Southwest China, and protect the lives and property safety of people in mountainous areas, the data of satellite remote sensing images are combined with various factors inducing landslides and transformed into landslide influence factors, which provides data basis for the establishment of landslide detection model. Then, based on the deep belief networks (DBN) and convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm, two landslide detection models DBN and convolutional neural-deep belief network (CDN) are established to monitor the high-level landslide in Jinsha River. The influence of the model parameters on the landslide detection results is analyzed, and the accuracy of DBN and CDN models in dealing with actual landslide problems is compared. The results show that when the number of neurons in the DBN is 100, the overall error is the minimum, and when the number of learning layers is 3, the classification error is the minimum. The detection accuracy of DBN and CDN is 97.56% and 97.63%, respectively, which indicates that both DBN and CDN models are feasible in dealing with landslides from remote sensing images. This exploration provides a reference for the study of high-level landslide disasters in Jinsha River.

Recent developments in network technologies have led to the application of cloud computing and big data analysis to industrial automation. However, the automation of process monitoring still has numerous issues that need to be addressed. Traditionally, offline statistical processes are generally used for process monitoring; thus, problems are often detected too late. This study focused on the construction of an automated process monitoring system based on sound and vibration frequency signals. First, empirical mode decomposition was combined with intrinsic mode functions to construct different sound frequency combinations and differentiate sound frequencies according to anomalies. Then, linear discriminant analysis (LDA) was adopted to classify abnormal and normal sound frequency signals, and a control line was constructed to monitor the sound frequency. In a case study, the proposed method was applied to detect abnormal sounds at high and low frequencies, and a detection accuracy of over 90% was realized. In another case study, the proposed method was applied to analyze electrocardiography signals and was similarly able to identify abnormal situations. Thus, the proposed method can be applied to real-time process monitoring and the detection of abnormalities with high accuracy in various situations.

The presence of fish bones is now regarded as an important hazard in fishery products, and there is increasing demand for new analytical techniques to control it more effectively. Here, the fluorescent properties of cod bones under UV illumination were investigated, and the maximal wavelengths for excitation and emission were determined to be 320 nm and 515 nm, respectively, demonstrating significantly different fluorescence characteristics and much higher fluorescence intensity compared to those of fillet muscles. Based on the results, UV fluorescence-assisted candling for the detection of bones in fishery products was developed for the first time. Using cod fillets as samples, the detection ratio of this technique was calculated as 90.86%, significantly higher than that of traditional candling under daylight (76.78%). Moreover, the working efficiency of the new technique was about 26% higher than that of the traditional method. A UV fluorescence imaging framework was also developed, and a method for automatic identification of the fish bones in the cod fillets based on the linear discriminant analysis proposed by Fisher was preliminarily realized, but the detection ratio was demonstrated to be relatively poor compared to those of candling techniques. These results allow us to suggest UV-based methods as new and promising approaches for routine monitoring of bones in fishery products.

This paper proposes and evaluates the application of a modular dynamic recurrent neural network (DRNN) to classify upper limb motion using myoelectric signals. The DRNN algorithmic issues, including the structure selection, the segmentation of the data and various feature sets such as time-domain features and frequency features, were evaluated experimentally in order to actualize the optimization and configuration of this classification scheme. This was achieved by using a majority vote technique to post-process the output decision stream. The DRNN-based approach was then been compared with two commonly used classification methods: multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network and linear discriminant analysis (LDA). The DRNN-based motion classification system demonstrated exceptional accuracy and a low computational load for the classification of robust limb motion. The DRNN may also display utility for online training and controlling rehabilitation robots.

BACKGROUND: Thyroid ultrasonography is widely used to diagnose thyroid nodules in clinics. Automatic localization of nodules can promote the development of intelligent thyroid diagnosis and reduce workload of radiologists. However, besides the ultrasound image has low contrast and high noise, the thyroid nodules are diverse in shape and vary greatly in size. Thus, thyroid nodule detection in ultrasound images is still a challenging task. OBJECTIVE: This study proposes an automatic detection algorithm to locate nodules in B ultrasound images and Doppler ultrasound images. This method can be used to screen thyroid nodules and provide a basis for subsequent automatic segmentation and intelligent diagnosis. METHODS: We develop and optimize an improved YOLOV3 model for detecting thyroid nodules in ultrasound images with B-mode and Doppler mode. Improvements include (1) using the high-resolution network (HRNet) as the basic network for gradually extracting high-level semantic features to reduce the missed detection and misdetection, (2) optimizing the loss function for single target detection like nodules, and (3) obtaining the anchor boxes by clustering the candidate frames of real nodules in the dataset. RESULTS: The experimental results of applying to 8000 clinical ultrasound images show that the new method developed and tested in this study can effectively detect thyroid nodules. The method achieves 94.53% mean precision and 95.00% mean recall. CONCLUTIONS: The study demonstrates a new automated method that enables to achieve high detection accuracy and effectively locate thyroid nodules in various ultrasound images without any user interaction, which indicates its potential clinical application value for the thyroid nodule screening.

Good Set

Having relevant features for representing dataset would motivate such algorithms to provide a highly accurate classification system in less-consuming time. Unfortunately, one good set of features is sometimes not fit to all learning algorithms. To confirm that learning algorithm selection does not weights system accuracy user has to validate that the given dataset is a feature-oriented dataset. Thus, in this study we propose a simple verification procedure based on multi objective approach by means of elitist Non-dominated Sorting in Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II). The way NSGA-II performs in this work is quite similar to the feature selection procedure except on interpretation of the results i.e. set of optimal solutions. Two conflicting minimization elements namely classification error and number of used features are taken as objective functions. A case study of fatigue segment classification was chosen for the purpose of this study where simulations were repeated using four single classifiers such as Naive-Bayes, k nearest neighbours, decision tree and radial basis function. The proposed procedure demonstrates that only two features are needed for classifying a fatigue segment task without having to place concern on learning algorithm

Generalized Linear Regression

This study involves the implentation of the extensions of the partial least squares generalized linear regression (PLSGLR) by combining  it with logistic regression and  linear  discriminant analysis,  to  get a  partial least  squares generalized linear  regression-logistic regression model (PLSGLR-log),  and a partial least squares generalized linear regression-linear discriminant analysis model (PLSGLRDA). A comparative  study  of  the obtained  classifiers with   the   classical  methodologies like  the k-nearest  neighbours (KNN), linear   discriminant  analysis  (LDA),   partial  least  squares discriminant analysis (PLSDA),  ridge  partial least squares (RPLS), and  support vector machines(SVM)  is  then  carried  out.    Furthermore,  a  new  methodology known as kernel multilogit algorithm (KMA) is also implemented and its performance compared with those of the other classifiers. The KMA emerged as the best classifier based  on the lowest  classification error  rates  compared to  the  others  when  applied   to  the  types   of data   are considered;  the  un- preprocessed and preprocessed.
