<p>This paper describes the results obtained from recording, processing and classification of words in spoken Spanish by means of analysis of subvocal speech signals. The processed database has six words (forward, backward, right, left, start and stop), In this article, the signals are sensed with surface electrodes (placed on the surface of the throat) and acquired at a sampling frequency of 50 kHz. The signal conditioning consists of a couple of steps, namely the location of area of interest, using energy analysis; and a filtering stage, using Discrete Wavelet Transform. Finally, feature extraction is achieved in the time-frequency domain using Wavelet Packet and statistical techniques for windowing. Classification is carried out with a back propagation neural network whose training is performed with 70% of the database obtained. The correct classification rate was 75%±2.</p>

Diabetes is characterized as a chronic disease that may cause many health complications. Artificial intelligence techniques are adopted diagnose diabetes more accurately. This paper presents an artificial intelligence technique for diabetes diagnosis. Efficacy of the technique is evaluated using diabetes database. Experimental results show that the back propagation neural network algorithm yields the highest classification rate compared to k-nearest neighbourhood classifier. Additionally, the back propagation neural network provides error with the highest area under curve of 90 %.

This work extends the conventional back-propagation neural network (BPNN) to the classification of Chinese liquors of different flavors according to their Raman spectra. Conformal prediction is applied to assign reliable confidence measures for each classification and support an effective framework to make the machine learning on classification trustable. The BPNN can be used to predict the flavors of Chinese liquors according to their Raman spectra, and a classification rate of 88.96% can be achieved. In order to evaluate each classification, a non-conformity score is defined to generate a P-value for each classification. Moreover, the validity of conformal prediction in online mode is discussed. The number of cumulative errors in the conformal prediction is much less than that without conformal prediction. The relationship between the cumulative error and confidence levels shows that a high confidence level leads to low cumulative errors, but many cumulative errors will occur under a very high confidence level. The result implies that conformal prediction is a useful framework, which can employ classification satisfying a certain level of confidence. Meanwhile, the conformal prediction can improve our classification using a BPNN, when the number of data points is limited.

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) has made great strides with the development of digital signal processing hardware and software, especially using English as the language of choice. Despite of all these advances, machines cannot match the performance of their human counterparts in terms of accuracy and speed, especially in case of speaker independent speech recognition. In this paper, a new feature based on formant is presented and evaluated on Malaysian spoken vowels. These features were classified and used to identify vowels recorded from 80 Malaysian speakers. A back propagation neural network (BPNN) model was developed to classify the vowels. Six formant features were evaluated, which were the first three formant frequencies and the distances between each of them. Results, showed that overall vowel classification rate of these three formant combinations are comparatively the same but differs in terms of individual vowel classification.  


Most of the Indian economy rely on agriculture, so identifying any diseases crop in early stages is very crucial as these diseases in plants causes a large drop in the production and economy of the farmers and therefore, degradation of the crop which emphasize on the early detection of the plant disease. These days, detection of plant diseases has become a hot topic in the area of interest of the researchers. Farmers followed a traditional approach for identifying and detecting diseases in plants with naked eyes, which didn’t help much as the disease may have caused much damage to the plant. Tomato crop shares a huge portion of Indian cuisine and can be prone to various Air-Bourne and Soil-Bourne diseases. In this paper, we tried to automate the Tomato Plant Leaf disease detection by studying the various features of diseased and healthy leaves. The technique used is pattern recognition using Back-Propagation Neural network and comparing the results of this neural network on different features set. Several steps included are image acquisition, image pre-processing, features extraction, subset creation and BPNN classification.

This work investigates the study of heartbeat cardiac sounds through time–frequency analysis by using the wavelet transform method. Heart sounds can be utilized more efficiently by medical doctors when they are displayed visually rather through a conventional stethoscope. Heart sounds provide clinicians with valuable diagnostic and prognostic information. Although heart sound analysis by auscultation is convenient as a clinical tool, heart sound signals are so complex and nonstationary that they are very difficult to analyze in the time or frequency domain. We have studied the extraction of features from heart sounds in the time–frequency (TF) domain for the recognition of heart sounds through TF analysis. The application of wavelet transform (WT) for heart sounds is thus described. The performances of discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and wavelet packet transform (WP) are discussed in this paper. After these transformations, we can compare normal and abnormal heart sounds to verify the clinical usefulness of our extraction methods for the recognition of heart sounds.

In this paper novel method is proposed using hybrid of Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Back Propagation (BP) Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for learning of classification of user queries to cluster for effective Personalized Web Search. The GA- BP ANN has been trained offline for classification of input queries and user query session profiles to a specific cluster based on clustered web query sessions. Thus during online web search, trained GA –BP ANN is used for classification of new user queries to a cluster and the selected cluster is used for web page recommendations. This process of classification and recommendations continues till search is effectively personalized to the information need of the user. Experiment was conducted on the data set of web user query sessions to evaluate the effectiveness of Personalized Web Search using GA optimized BP ANN and the results confirm the improvement in the precision of search results.

This paper discusses the classification of horse gaits for self-coaching using an ensemble stacked auto-encoder (ESAE) based on wavelet packets from the motion data of the horse rider. For this purpose, we built an ESAE and used probability values at the end of the softmax classifier. First, we initialized variables such as hidden nodes, weight, and max epoch using the options of the auto-encoder (AE). Second, the ESAE model is trained by feedforward, back propagation, and gradient calculation. Next, the parameters are updated by a gradient descent mechanism as new parameters. Finally, once the error value is satisfied, the algorithm terminates. The experiments were performed to classify horse gaits for self-coaching. We constructed the motion data of a horse rider. For the experiment, an expert horse rider of the national team wore a suit containing 16 inertial sensors based on a wireless network. To improve and quantify the performance of the classification, we used three methods (wavelet packet, statistical value, and ensemble model), as well as cross entropy with mean squared error. The experimental results revealed that the proposed method showed good performance when compared with conventional algorithms such as the support vector machine (SVM).
