The advancement of LIDAR technology used in the autonomous vehicle (AV) system has made it increasingly popular. Despite that, the ability of the sensor to adjust to human behaviour in sensing and perceiving different environments is still unsolved as it significantly impacting the performance of LIDAR, causing the effect of missing points and false positives detection. The immerging of machine learning algorithms that have greatly impacted solving uncertainties and LIDAR's reliability in making judgments has proven a great success. This paper aims to classify different rain rates conditions in a controlled environment with real rain using a LIDAR. Then, the feature extraction using the time-domain method was employed to generate more features with a variation of SVM models in developing classification models. The preliminary observation shows that the Poly-SVM model can achieve a test classification accuracy of 97%. Noting that, the proposed method has the potential to evaluate weather classification.

The scarcity of water for agricultural use is a serious problem that has increased due to intense droughts, poor management, and deficiencies in the distribution and application of the resource. The monitoring of crops through satellite image processing and the application of machine learning algorithms are technological strategies with which developed countries tend to implement better public policies regarding the efficient use of water. The purpose of this research was to determine the main indicators and characteristics that allow us to discriminate the phenological stages of maize crops (Zea mays L.) in Sentinel 2 satellite images through supervised classification models. The training data were obtained by monitoring cultivated plots during an agricultural cycle. Indicators and characteristics were extracted from 41 Sentinel 2 images acquired during the monitoring dates. With these images, indicators of texture, vegetation, and colour were calculated to train three supervised classifiers: linear discriminant (LD), support vector machine (SVM), and k-nearest neighbours (kNN) models. It was found that 45 of the 86 characteristics extracted contributed to maximizing the accuracy by stage of development and the overall accuracy of the trained classification models. The characteristics of the Moran’s I local indicator of spatial association (LISA) improved the accuracy of the classifiers when applied to the L*a*b* colour model and to the near-infrared (NIR) band. The local binary pattern (LBP) increased the accuracy of the classification when applied to the red, green, blue (RGB) and NIR bands. The colour ratios, leaf area index (LAI), RGB colour model, L*a*b* colour space, LISA, and LBP extracted the most important intrinsic characteristics of maize crops with regard to classifying the phenological stages of the maize cultivation. The quadratic SVM model was the best classifier of maize crop phenology, with an overall accuracy of 82.3%.

The main aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of hyperspectral imagery for determining the influence of different diets on fish skin. Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were fed either a commercial based diet (N= 80) or a 100 % plant-based diet (N = 80). Hyperspectral images were made using a push-broom hyperspectral imaging system in the spectral region of 394-1009 nm. All images were calibrated using dark and white reference and the average spectral data from the region of interest were extracted. Six spectral pre-treatment methods were used, including Savitzky-Golay (SG), First Derivative(FD), Second Derivative (SD), Standard Normal Variate (SNV) and Multiplicative Scatter Correction (MSC) then a support vector machine (SVM) with linear kernel was applied to establish the classification models. Additionally, the Genetic algorithm (GA) was used to select optimal wavelengths to reduce the high dimensionality from hyperspectral images in order to decrease the computational costs and simplify the classification models. Overall classification models established from full wavelengths and selected wavelengths showed the good performance (Correct Classification Rate (CCR) = 0.871, Kappa = 0.741) when coupled with SG. The overall results indicate that the integration of Vis/NIR hyperspectral imaging system and machine learning algorithms has promise for discriminating different diets based on the live fish skin.

Identifying the licking behaviour in beef cattle may provide a means to measure time spent licking for estimating individual block supplement intake. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of tri-axial accelerometers deployed in a neck-collar and an ear-tag, to characterise the licking behaviour of beef cattle in individual pens. Four, 2-year-old Angus steers weighing 368 ± 9.3 kg (mean ± SD) were used in a 14-day study. Four machine learning (ML) algorithms (decision trees [DT], random forest [RF], support vector machine [SVM] and k-nearest neighbour [kNN]) were employed to develop behaviour classification models using three different ethograms: (1) licking vs. eating vs. standing vs. lying; (2) licking vs. eating vs. inactive; and (3) licking vs. non-licking. Activities were video-recorded from 1000 to 1600 h daily when access to supplement was provided. The RF algorithm exhibited a superior performance in all ethograms across the two deployment modes with an overall accuracy ranging from 88% to 98%. The neck-collar accelerometers had a better performance than the ear-tag accelerometers across all ethograms with sensitivity and positive predictive value (PPV) ranging from 95% to 99% and 91% to 96%, respectively. Overall, the tri-axial accelerometer was capable of identifying licking behaviour of beef cattle in a controlled environment. Further research is required to test the model under actual grazing conditions.

Support Vector Machine (SVM) is originally proposed as a binary classification model, and it has already achieved great success in different applications. In reality, it is more often to solve a problem which has more than two classes. So, it is natural to extend SVM to a multi-class classifier. There have been many works proposed to construct a multi-class classifier based on binary SVM, such as one versus all strategy, one versus one strategy and Weston's multi-class SVM. One versus all strategy and one versus one strategy split the multi-class problem to multiple binary classification subproblems, and we need to train multiple binary classifiers. Weston's multi-class SVM is formed by ensuring risk constraints and imposing a specific regularization, like Frobenius norm. It is not derived by maximizing the margin between hyperplane and training data which is the motivation in SVM. In this paper, we propose a multi-class SVM model from the perspective of maximizing margin between training points and hyperplane, and analyze the relation between our model and other related methods. In the experiment, it shows that our model can get better or compared results when comparing with other related methods.

Aim: The purpose of this work was to develop and evaluate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based radiomics for differentiation of orbital cavernous hemangioma (OCH) and orbital schwannoma (OSC).Methods: Fifty-eight patients (40 OCH and 18 OSC, confirmed pathohistologically) screened out from 216 consecutive patients who presented between 2015 and 2020 were divided into a training group (28 OCH and 12 OSC) and a validation group (12 OCH and 6 OSC). Radiomics features were extracted from T1-weighted imaging (T1WI) and T2-weighted imaging (T2WI). T-tests, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), and principal components analysis (PCA) were used to select features for use in the classification models. A logistic regression (LR) model, support vector machine (SVM) model, decision tree (DT) model, and random forest (RF) model were constructed to differentiate OCH from OSC. The models were evaluated according to their accuracy and the area under the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC).Results: Six features from T1WI, five features from T2WI, and eight features from combined T1WI and T2WI were finally selected for building the classification models. The models using T2WI features showed superior performance on the validation data than those using T1WI features, especially the LR model and SVM model, which showed accuracy of 93% (85–100%) and 92%, respectively, The SVM model showed high accuracy of 93% (91–96%) on the combined feature group with an AUC of 98% (97–99%). The DT and RF models did not perform as well as the SVM model.Conclusion: Radiomics analysis using an SVM model achieved an accuracy of 93% for distinguishing OCH and OSC, which may be helpful for clinical diagnosis.

Introduction: The expansion of an actual diabetes judgement structure by the fascinating improvement of computational intellect is observed as a chief objective currently. Numerous tactics based on the artificial network and machine-learning procedures have been established and verified alongside diabetes datasets, which remained typically associated with the entities of Pima Indian derivation. Nevertheless, extraordinary accuracy up to 99-100% in forecasting the precise diabetes judgement, none of these methods has touched scientific presentation so far. Various tools such as Machine Learning (ML) and Data Mining are used for correct identification of diabetes. These tools improve the diagnosis process associated with T2DM. Diabetes mellitus type 2 (DMT2) is a major problem in several developing countries but its early diagnosis can provide enhanced treatment and can save several people life. Accordingly, we have to develop a structure that diagnoses type 2 diabetes. In this paper, a fuzzy expert system is proposed that present the Mamdani fuzzy inference structure (MFIS) to diagnose type 2 diabetes meritoriously. For necessary evaluation of the proposed structure, a proportional revision has been originated, that provide the anticipated structure with Machine Learning algorithms, specifically J48 Decision-tree (DT), multilayer perceptron (MLP), support-vector-machine (SVM), and Naïve- Bayes (NB), fusion and mixed fusion-based methods. The advanced fuzzy expert system (FES) and the machine learning algorithms are authenticated with actual data commencing the UCI machine learning datasets. Furthermore, the concert of the fuzzy expert structure is appraised by equating it to connected work that used the MFIS to detect the occurrence of type 2 diabetes. Objective: This survey paper presents a review of recent advances in the area of machine learning based classification models for diagnosis of diabetes. Methods: This paper presents an extensive work done in the field of machine learning based classification models for diagnosis of type 2 diabetes where modified fusion of machine learning methods are compared to the basic models i.e. Radial basis function, K-nearest neighbor, support vector machine, J48, logistic regression, classification and regression tress etc. based on training and testing. Results: Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 summarizes the result based on prediction accurateness for each classifier of training and testing. Conclusion: The fuzzy expert system is the best among its rival classifiers; SVM performs very poorly with a very low true positive rate, i.e. a very high number of positive cases misclassified as (Non-diabetic) negative. Based on the evaluation it is clear that the fuzzy expert system has the highest precision value. However, J48 is the least accurate classifier. It has the highest number of false positives relative to the other classifiers mentioned in the testing part. The results show that the fuzzy expert system has the uppermost cost for both precision and recall. Thus, it has the uppermost value for F-measure in the training and testing datasets. J48 is considered the second-best classifier for the training dataset, whereas Naïve Bayes comes in the second rank in the testing dataset.

In this paper, a new method is proposed for people tracking using the human skeleton provided by the Kinect sensor, Our method is based on skeleton data, which includes the coordinate value of each joint in the human body. For data classification, the Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Random Forest techniques are used. To achieve this goal, 14 classes of movements are defined, using the Kinect Sensor to extract data containing 46 features and then using them to train the classification models. The system was tested on 12 subjects, each of whom performed 14 movements in each experiment. Experiment results show that the best average accuracy is 90.2 % for the SVM model and 99 % for the Random forest model. From the experiments, we concluded that the best distance between the Kinect sensor and the human body is one meter.

Computational models of cytochrome P450 3A4 inhibition were developed based on high-throughput screening data for 4470 proprietary compounds. Multiple models differentiating inhibitors (IC50 <3 μM) and noninhibitors were generated using various machine-learning algorithms (recursive partitioning [RP], Bayesian classifier, logistic regression, k-nearest-neighbor, and support vector machine [SVM]) with structural fingerprints and topological indices. Nineteen models were evaluated by internal 10-fold cross-validation and also by an independent test set. Three most predictive models, Barnard Chemical Information (BCI)-fingerprint/SVM, MDL-keyset/SVM, and topological indices/RP, correctly classified 249, 248, and 236 compounds of 291 noninhibitors and 135, 137, and 147 compounds of 179 inhibitors in the validation set. Their overall accuracies were 82%, 82%, and 81%, respectively. Investigating applicability of the BCI/SVM model found a strong correlation between the predictive performance and the structural similarity to the training set. Using Tanimoto similarity index as a confidence measurement for the predictions, the limitation of the extrapolation was 0.7 in the case of the BCI/SVM model. Taking consensus of the 3 best models yielded a further improvement in predictive capability, kappa = 0.65 and accuracy = 83%. The consensus model could also be tuned to minimize either false positives or false negatives depending on the emphasis of the screening.

Sleep Apnea is an anomaly in sleeping characterized by short pause in breathing. Failure to treat sleep apnea leads to fatal complications in both psychological and physiological being of human. Electroencephalogram (EEG) performs an important task in probing for sleep apnea through identifying and recording the brain’s activities while sleeping. In this study, computer aided detection of sleep apnea from EEG signals is developed to optimize and increase the prompt recognition and diagnosis of sleep apnea in patients. The time domain, wavelets, and frequency domain of the EEG signals were computed, and features were extracted from these domains. These features are inputted into two machine learning algorithms: Support Vector Machine and K-Nearest Neighbors of different kernel functions and orders. Evaluation metrics such as specificity, accuracy, and sensitivity are computed and analyzed for the classifiers. The KNN classifier outperforms the SVM in classifying apnea from non-apnea events in patients. The KNN order 3 shows the highest performance sensitivity of 85.92%, specificity of 80% and accuracy of 82.69%.
