Abstract Being non-invasive, cheap and widely available, the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is a standard method to assess cardiac function. Still, its reliable interpretation requires specialized knowledge and experience, rendering a second opinion valuable. We evaluated the performance of machine learning based classification of 11,705 healthy and bundle branch block 12-lead ECGs from 3 open databases. For each lead of the ECG signal, a representative QRS-complex template was extracted automatically. Principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to the concatenated, normalized and rescaled QRS signals to reduce their dimensionality. Multilayer perceptron and support-vector machine classifiers were trained using the principal components of weighted and non-weighted QRS template signals as input data. Classifiers achieved F1 scores between 0.92 and 0.96 on the test set for different input configurations. Anomaly based weighting slightly improved the performance of the classifiers. Neither class-wise PCA for feature extraction nor adding information on sex, gender and electrical heart axis to the input data yielded considerable improvement of the F1 scores. The achieved classification accuracy is similar to deep learning classifier performances and should generalize robustly to other ECG datasets. Our results suggest that this simple and well interpretable approach based on morphological signal characteristics is suitable for automatically and non-invasively identifying bundle branch block pathologies in clinical or smart electronics contexts.

Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks are serious threats to the availability of a smart grid infrastructure services because they can cause massive blackouts. This study describes an anomaly detection method for improving the detection rate of a DDoS attack in a smart grid. This improvement was achieved by increasing the classification of the training and testing phases in a convolutional neural network (CNN). A full version of the variance fractal dimension trajectory (VFDTv2) was used to extract inherent features from the stochastic fractal input data. A discrete wavelet transform (DWT) was applied to the input data and the VFDTv2 to extract significant distinguishing features during data pre-processing. A support vector machine (SVM) was used for data post-processing. The implementation detected the DDoS attack with 87.35% accuracy.

Heart disease is currently one of the leading causes of death in developed countries. The electrocardiogram is an important source of information for identifying these conditions, therefore, becomes necessary to seek an advanced system of diagnosis based on these signals. In this paper we used samples of electrocardiograms of MIT-related database with ten types of pathologies and a rate corresponding to normal (healthy patient), which are processed and used for extraction from its two branches of a wide range of features. Next, various techniques have been applied to feature selection based on genetic algorithms, principal component analysis and mutual information. To carry out the task of intelligent classification, 3 different scenarios have been considered. These techniques allow us to achieve greater efficiency in the classification methods used, namely support vector machines (SVM) and decision trees (DT) to perform a comparative analysis between them. Finally, during the development of this contribution, the use of very non-invasive devices (2 channel ECG) was analyzed, we could practically classify them as wearable, which would not need interaction by the user, and whose energy consumption is very small to extend the average life of the user been on it.

This paper deals with implementation of intelligent system for fault diagnostics of rolling element bearing. In this work, the proposed intelligent system was basically created using support vector machine (SVM) due to its excellent performance in classification task. Moreover, SVM was modified by introducing wavelet function as kernel for mapping input data into feature space. Input data were vibration signals acquired from bearings through standard data acquisition process. Statistical features were then calculated from bearing signals, and extraction of salient features was conducted using component analysis. Results of fault diagnostics are shown by observing classification of bearing conditions which gives plausible accuracy in testing of the proposed system.

We propose a biomimetic pattern recognition (BPR) approach for classification of proteomic profile. The proposed approach preprocess profile using iterative minimum in adaptive setting window (IMASW) method for baseline correction, discrete wavelet transform (DWT) for fitting and smoothing, and average total ion normalization (ATIN) for remove the influence of vary amount of sample and degradation over time. Then principal component analysis (PCA) and BPR build classification model. With an optimization of the parameters involved in the modeling, we obtain a satisfactory model for cancer diagnosis in three proteomic profile datasets. The predicted results show that BPR technique is more reliable and efficient than support vector machine (SVM) method.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the application of mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy combined with multivariate analysis, to provide a rapid screening tool for discriminating among different Italian monovarietal red wines based on the relationship between grape variety and wine composition in particular phenolic compounds.Methods and results: The MIR spectra (from 4000 to 700 cm‒1) of 110 monovarietal Italian red wines, vintage 2016, were collected and evaluated by selected multivariate data analyses, including principal component analysis (PCA), linear discriminant analysis (DA), support vector machine (SVM), and soft intelligent modelling of class analogy (SIMCA). Samples were collected directly from companies across different regions of Italy and included 11 grape varieties: Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, Aglianico, Nerello Mascalese, Primitivo, Raboso, Cannonau, Teroldego, Sagrantino, Montepulciano and Corvina. PCA showed five wavelengths that mainly contributed to the PC1, including a much-closed peak at 1043 cm‒1, which correspond to the C–O stretch absorption bands that are important regions for glycerol, whereas the ethanol peaks at around 1085 cm‒1. The band at 877 cm‒1 are related to the C–C stretching vibration of organic molecules, whereas the asymmetric stretching for C–O in the aromatic –OH group of polyphenols is within spectral regions from 1050 to 1165 cm‒1. In particular, the (1175)–1100–1060 cm‒1 vibrational bands are combination bands, involving C–O stretching and O–H deformation of phenolic rings. The 1166–1168 cm‒1 peak is attributable to in-plane bending deformations of C–H and C–O groups of polyphenols, respectively, for which polymerisation may cause a slight peak shift due to the formation of H-bridges.The best result was obtained with the SVM, which achieved an overall correct classification for up to 72.2% of the training set, and 44.4% for the validation set of wines, respectively. The Sangiovese wines (n=19) were split into two sub-groups (Sang-Romagna, n=12 and Sang-Tuscany, n=7) considering the indeterminacy of its origins, which is disputed between Romagna and Tuscany. Although the classification of three grape varieties was problematic (Nerello Mascalese, Raboso and Primitivo), the remaining wines were almost correctly assigned to their actual classes.Conclusions: MIR spectroscopy coupled with chemometrics represents an interesting approach for the classification of monovarietal Italian red wines, which is important in quality control and authenticity monitoring.Significance and impact of the study: Authenticity is a main issue in winemaking in terms of quality evaluation and adulteration, in particular for origin certified/protected wines, for which the added marketing value is related to the link of grape variety with the area of origin. This study is part of the D-wine project “The diversity of tannins in Italian red wines”.

Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) served as an active technology has been widely used in many field, and it is closely related to excitation wavelength (EW). The objective of this investigation is to discuss the performance of different EWs of LIF LiDAR in identifying plant species. In this study, the 355, 460 and 556 nm lasers were utilized to excite the leaf fluorescence and the fluorescence spectra were measured by using the LIF LiDAR system built in the laboratory. Subsequently, the principal component analysis (PCA) with the help of support vector machine (SVM) was utilized to analyse fluorescence spectra. For the three EWs, the overall identification rates of the six plant species were 80 %, 83.3 % and 90 %. Experimental results demonstrated that 556 nm excitation light source is superior to 355 and 460 nm for the classification of the plant species for the same genus in this study. Thus, an appropriate excitation wavelength should be considered when the LIF LiDAR was utilized in the field of remote sensing based on the LIF technology.

Existing plant leaf disease detection approaches are based on features of extracting algorithms. These algorithms have some limits in feature selection for the diseased portion, but they can be used in conjunction with other image processing methods. Diseases of a plant can be classified from their symptoms. We proposed a cucumber leaf recognition approach, consisting of five steps: preprocessing, normalization, features extraction, features fusion, and classification. Otsu’s thresholding is implemented in preprocessing and Tan–Triggs normalization is applied for normalizing the dataset. During the features extraction step, texture and shape features are extracted. In addition, increasing the instances improves some characteristics. Through a principal component analysis approach, serial feature fusion is employed to provide a feature score. Fused features can be classified through a support vector machine. The accuracy of the Fine KNN is 94.30%, which is higher than the previous work in past papers.
