AbstractBrain computer interface (BCI) systems have been regarded as a new way of communication for humans. In this research, common methods such as wavelet transform are applied in order to extract features. However, genetic algorithm (GA), as an evolutionary method, is used to select features. Finally, classification was done using the two approaches support vector machine (SVM) and Bayesian method. Five features were selected and the accuracy of Bayesian classification was measured to be 80% with dimension reduction. Ultimately, the classification accuracy reached 90.4% using SVM classifier. The results of the study indicate a better feature selection and the effective dimension reduction of these features, as well as a higher percentage of classification accuracy in comparison with other studies.

Abstract In recent years, brain-computer communication systems have been regarded as a new way of communication for humans. One of the applications of brain-computer communication is the development of systems which facilitates communication. To this end, it is necessary to extract the visually evoked signals from the EEG signal and classify it. In this research, common methods such as wavelet transform are applied in order to extract features. However, genetic algorithm, as an evolutionary method, is used to select features. Finally, after selecting features, the classification was done using the two approaches support vector machine and Bayesian method. Five features were selected and the accuracy of Bayesian classification was measured to be 80% with dimension reduction, and 78% without dimension reduction. Ultimately, the classification accuracy reached 90.4% using SVM classifier. The results of the study indicate a better feature selection and the effective dimension reduction of these features, as well as a higher percentage of classification accuracy in comparison with other studies.

In this paper, we will propose a novel classification method of high-resolution SAR using local autocorrelation and Support Vector Machines (SVM) classifier. The commonly applied spatial autocorrelation indexes, called Moran's Index; Geary's Index, Getis's Index, will be used to depict the feature of the land-cover. Then, the SVM based on these indexes will be applied as the high-resolution SAR classifier. A Cosmo-SkyMed scene in ChengDu city, China is used for our experiment. It is shown that the method proposed can lead to good classification accuracy.

The extensive applications of support vector machines (SVMs) require efficient method of constructing a SVM classifier with high classification ability. The performance of SVM crucially depends on whether optimal feature subset and parameter of SVM can be efficiently obtained. In this paper, a coarse-grained parallel genetic algorithm (CGPGA) is used to simultaneously optimize the feature subset and parameters for SVM. The distributed topology and migration policy of CGPGA can help find optimal feature subset and parameters for SVM in significantly shorter time, so as to increase the quality of solution found. In addition, a new fitness function, which combines the classification accuracy obtained from bootstrap method, the number of chosen features, and the number of support vectors, is proposed to lead the search of CGPGA to the direction of optimal generalization error. Experiment results on 12 benchmark datasets show that our proposed approach outperforms genetic algorithm (GA) based method and grid search method in terms of classification accuracy, number of chosen features, number of support vectors, and running time.

An enhanced classification system for classification of MR images using association of kernels with support vector machine is developed and presented in this paper along with the design and development of content-based image retrieval (CBIR) system. Content of image retrieval is the process of finding relevant image from large collection of image database using visual queries. Medical images have led to growth in large image collection. Oriented Rician Noise Reduction Anisotropic Diffusion filter is used for image denoising. A modified hybrid Otsu algorithm termed is used for image segmentation. The texture features are extracted using GLCM method. Genetic algorithm with Joint entropy is adopted for feature selection. The classification is done by support vector machine along with various kernels and the performance is validated. A classification accuracy of 98.83% is obtained using SVM with GRBF kernel. Various features have been extracted and these features are used to classify MR images into five different categories. Performance of the MC-SVM classifier is compared with different kernel functions. From the analysis and performance measures like classification accuracy, it is inferred that the brain and spinal cord MRI classification is best done using MC- SVM with Gaussian RBF kernel function than linear and polynomial kernel functions. The proposed system can provide best classification performance with high accuracy and low error rate.

Recent research has shown that integration of spatial information has emerged as a powerful tool in improving the classification accuracy of hyperspectral image (HSI). However, partitioning homogeneous regions of the HSI remains a challenging task. This paper proposes a novel spectral-spatial classification method inspired by the support vector machine (SVM). The model consists of spectral-spatial feature extraction channel (SSC) and SVM classifier. SSC is mainly used to extract spatial-spectral features of HSI. SVM is mainly used to classify the extracted features. The model can automatically extract the features of HSI and classify them. Experiments are conducted on benchmark HSI dataset (Indian Pines). It is found that the proposed method yields more accurate classification results compared to the state-of-the-art techniques.

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.

<p>Obtaining high accuracy in land cover classification is a non-trivial problem in geosciences for monitoring urban and rural areas. In this study, different classification algorithms were tested with different types of data, and besides the effects of seasonal changes on these classification algorithms and the evaluation of the data used are investigated. In addition, the effect of increasing classification training samples on classification accuracy has been revealed as a result of the study. Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images and Sentinel-2 multispectral optical images were used as datasets. Object-based approach was used for the classification of various fused image combinations. The classification algorithms Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forest (RF) and K-Nearest Neighborhood (kNN) methods were used for this process. In addition, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) was examined separately to define the exact contribution to the classification accuracy.  As a result, the overall accuracies were compared by classifying the fused data generated by combining optical and SAR images. It has been determined that the increase in the number of training samples improve the classification accuracy. Moreover, it was determined that the object-based classification obtained from single SAR imagery produced the lowest classification accuracy among the used different dataset combinations in this study. In addition, it has been shown that NDVI data does not increase the accuracy of the classification in the winter season as the trees shed their leaves due to climate conditions.</p>

A feature selection method based on mutual information and support vector machine (SVM) is proposed in order to eliminate redundant feature and improve classification accuracy. First, local correlation between features and overall correlation is calculated by mutual information. The correlation reflects the information inclusion relationship between features, so the features are evaluated and redundant features are eliminated with analyzing the correlation. Subsequently, the concept of mean impact value (MIV) is defined and the influence degree of input variables on output variables for SVM network based on MIV is calculated. The importance weights of the features described with MIV are sorted by descending order. Finally, the SVM classifier is used to implement feature selection according to the classification accuracy of feature combination which takes MIV order of feature as a reference. The simulation experiments are carried out with three standard data sets of UCI, and the results show that this method can not only effectively reduce the feature dimension and high classification accuracy, but also ensure good robustness.
