Abstract We present a comparative evaluation of different classification algorithms for a fusion engine that is used in a speaker identity selection task. The fusion engine combines the scores from a number of classifiers, which uses the GMM-UBM approach to match speaker identity. The performances of the evaluated classification algorithms were examined in both the text-dependent and text-independent operation modes. The experimental results indicated a significant improvement in terms of speaker identification accuracy, which was approximately 7% and 14.5% for the text-dependent and the text-independent scenarios, respectively. We suggest the use of fusion with a discriminative algorithm such as a Support Vector Machine in a real-world speaker identification application where the text-independent scenario predominates based on the findings.

Pattern recognition is an important analytical tool in electrofacies analysis. In this paper, we study several commonly used clustering and classification algorithms. On the basis of advantages and disadvantages of existing algorithms, we introduce the KMRIC algorithm, which improves initial centers ofK-means. Also, we propose the AKM algorithm which automatically determines the number of clusters and apply support vector machine to classification. Finally, we apply these algorithms to electrofacies analysis, where the experiments on the real-world datasets are carried out to compare the merits of various algorithms.

ABSTRACT Introduction Early prediction of the acute hypotensive episode (AHE) in critically ill patients has the potential to improve outcomes. In this study, we apply different machine learning algorithms to the MIMIC III Physionet dataset, containing more than 60,000 real-world intensive care unit records, to test commonly used machine learning technologies and compare their performances. Materials and Methods Five classification methods including K-nearest neighbor, logistic regression, support vector machine, random forest, and a deep learning method called long short-term memory are applied to predict an AHE 30 minutes in advance. An analysis comparing model performance when including versus excluding invasive features was conducted. To further study the pattern of the underlying mean arterial pressure (MAP), we apply a regression method to predict the continuous MAP values using linear regression over the next 60 minutes. Results Support vector machine yields the best performance in terms of recall (84%). Including the invasive features in the classification improves the performance significantly with both recall and precision increasing by more than 20 percentage points. We were able to predict the MAP with a root mean square error (a frequently used measure of the differences between the predicted values and the observed values) of 10 mmHg 60 minutes in the future. After converting continuous MAP predictions into AHE binary predictions, we achieve a 91% recall and 68% precision. In addition to predicting AHE, the MAP predictions provide clinically useful information regarding the timing and severity of the AHE occurrence. Conclusion We were able to predict AHE with precision and recall above 80% 30 minutes in advance with the large real-world dataset. The prediction of regression model can provide a more fine-grained, interpretable signal to practitioners. Model performance is improved by the inclusion of invasive features in predicting AHE, when compared to predicting the AHE based on only the available, restricted set of noninvasive technologies. This demonstrates the importance of exploring more noninvasive technologies for AHE prediction.

Accurate estimation of the degree of battery aging is essential to ensure safe operation of electric vehicles. In this paper, using real-world vehicles and their operational data, a battery aging estimation method is proposed based on a dual-polarization equivalent circuit (DPEC) model and multiple data-driven models. The DPEC model and the forgetting factor recursive least-squares method are used to determine the battery system’s ohmic internal resistance, with outliers being filtered using boxplots. Furthermore, eight common data-driven models are used to describe the relationship between battery degradation and the factors influencing this degradation, and these models are analyzed and compared in terms of both estimation accuracy and computational requirements. The results show that the gradient descent tree regression, XGBoost regression, and light GBM regression models are more accurate than the other methods, with root mean square errors of less than 6.9 mΩ. The AdaBoost and random forest regression models are regarded as alternative groups because of their relative instability. The linear regression, support vector machine regression, and k-nearest neighbor regression models are not recommended because of poor accuracy or excessively high computational requirements. This work can serve as a reference for subsequent battery degradation studies based on real-time operational data.

In the past 30 years, the red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier), a pest that is highly destructive to all types of palms, has rapidly spread worldwide. However, detecting infestation with the RPW is highly challenging because symptoms are not visible until the death of the palm tree is inevitable. In addition, the use of automated RPW weevil identification tools to predict infestation is complicated by a lack of RPW datasets. In this study, we assessed the capability of 10 state-of-the-art data mining classification algorithms, Naive Bayes (NB), KSTAR, AdaBoost, bagging, PART, J48 Decision tree, multilayer perceptron (MLP), support vector machine (SVM), random forest, and logistic regression, to use plant-size and temperature measurements collected from individual trees to predict RPW infestation in its early stages before significant damage is caused to the tree. The performance of the classification algorithms was evaluated in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and F-measure using a real RPW dataset. The experimental results showed that infestations with RPW can be predicted with an accuracy up to 93%, precision above 87%, recall equals 100%, and F-measure greater than 93% using data mining. Additionally, we found that temperature and circumference are the most important features for predicting RPW infestation. However, we strongly call for collecting and aggregating more RPW datasets to run more experiments to validate these results and provide more conclusive findings.

The advent of Learning Management System (LMS) has unfolded a unique opportunity to predict student grades well in advance which benefits both students and educational institutions. The objective of this study is to investigate student access patterns and navigational data of Blackboard (Bb), a form of LMS, to forecast final grades. This research study consists of students who are pursuing a Networking course in Information Science and Technology Department (IST) at George Mason University (GMU). The gathered data consists of a wide variety of attributes, such as the amount of time spent on lecture slides and other learning materials, number of times course contents are accessed, time and days of the week study material is reviewed, and student grades in various assessments. By analyzing these predictors using Support Vector Machine, one of the most efficient classification algorithms available, we are able to project final grades of students and identify those individuals who are at risk for failing the course so that they can receive proper guidance from instructors. After comparing actual grades with predicted grades, it is concluded that our developed model is able to accurately predict grades of 70% of the students. This study stands unique as it is the first to employ solely online LMS data to successfully deduce academic outcomes of students.

The development of internal combustion engines is affected by the exhaust gas emissions legislation and the striving to increase performance. This demands for engine-out emission models that can be used for engine optimization for real driving emission controls. The prediction capability of physically and data-driven engine-out emission models is influenced by the system inputs, which are specified by the user and can lead to an improved accuracy with increasing number of inputs. Thereby the occurrence of irrelevant inputs becomes more probable, which have a low functional relation to the emissions and can lead to overfitting. Alternatively, data-driven methods can be used to detect irrelevant and redundant inputs. In this work, thermodynamic states are modeled based on 772 stationary measured test bench data from a commercial vehicle diesel engine. Afterward, 37 measured and modeled variables are led into a data-driven dimensionality reduction. For this purpose, approaches of supervised learning, such as lasso regression and linear support vector machine, and unsupervised learning methods like principal component analysis and factor analysis are applied to select and extract the relevant features. The selected and extracted features are used for regression by the support vector machine and the feedforward neural network to model the NOx, CO, HC, and soot emissions. This enables an evaluation of the modeling accuracy as a result of the dimensionality reduction. Using the methods in this work, the 37 variables are reduced to 25, 22, 11, and 16 inputs for NOx, CO, HC, and soot emission modeling while maintaining the accuracy. The features selected using the lasso algorithm provide more accurate learning of the regression models than the extracted features through principal component analysis and factor analysis. This results in test errors RMSETe for modeling NOx, CO, HC, and soot emissions 19.22 ppm, 6.46 ppm, 1.29 ppm, and 0.06 FSN, respectively.
