Since oral breathing during sleep tends to make the upper airway more collapsible, loud snoring caused by oral breathing is found in many sleep apnea/hypopnea patients and should be detected in the earlier stage. But unfortunately we cannot know our own sleep condition or snoring. Thus, a simple method that can detect oral snoring makes it possible to become a useful technique to develop a home medical device. For such purpose, we adopt a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier so as to classify oral and nasal snoring sounds based on the spectral properties. Fifteen subjects are asked to simulate snoring with oral and nasal breath respectively and the sounds are recorded with a linear sound recorder. We adopted seven kernel functions (linear, polynomial, sigmoid, Gaussian, Laplacian, chisquare, and Kullback-Leibler) for SVM-based spectral classification. As a result, over 95% of snoring sounds are successfully classified under the various cross validation test.

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.

Sentiment analysis is one of the popular techniques gaining attention in recent times. Nowadays, people gain information on reviews of users regarding public transportation, movies, hotel reservation, etc., by utilizing the resources available, as they meet their needs. Hence, sentiment classification is an essential process employed to determine the positive and negative responses. This paper presents an approach for sentiment classification of train reviews using MapReduce model with the proposed Kernel Optimized-Support Vector Machine (KO-SVM) classifier. The MapReduce framework handles big data using a mapper, which performs feature extraction and reducer that classifies the review based on KO-SVM classification. The feature extraction process utilizes features that are classification-specific and SentiWordNet-based. KO-SVM adopts SVM for the classification, where the exponential kernel is replaced by an optimized kernel, finding the weights using a novel optimizer, Self-adaptive Lion Algorithm (SLA). In a comparative analysis, the performance of KO-SVM classifier is compared with SentiWordNet, NB, NN, and LSVM, using the evaluation metrics, specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy, with train review and movie review database. The proposed KO-SVM classifier could attain maximum sensitivity of 93.46% and 91.249% specificity of 74.485% and 70.018%; and accuracy of 84.341% and 79.611% respectively, for train review and movie review databases.

The content of massive image changing the brightest brightness is an impasse between most tests of sorted image realizations with low-resolution representation. I have done this research through image security, which will help curb crime in the coming days, and we propose a novel receipt for their strong and effective counterpart. Image classification using low levels of the image is a difficult method, so for this, I have adopted the method of automating the semantic image classification of this research and used it with different SVM classifiers, based on the normalized weighted feature support vector machine for semantic image classification. This is a novel approach given that weighted feature or normalized biased feature is applied and it is found that the normalized method is the best. It also uses normalized weighted features to compute kernel functions and train SVM. The trained SVM is then used to classify new images. During training and generalization, we displayed a decrease of identification error rate and there have been many benefits of using SVM with better performance in normalized image-cataloging systems. The importance of this technique and its role will be highlighted in the years to come.

This paper presents a novel technique for the classification of suspicious areas in digital mammograms. The proposed technique is based on clustering of input data into numerous clusters and amalgamating them with a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. The technique is called multi-cluster support vector machine (MCSVM) and is designed to provide a fast converging technique with good generalization abilities leading to an improved classification as a benign or malignant class. The proposed MCSVM technique has been evaluated on data from the Digital Database of Screening Mammography (DDSM) benchmark database. The experimental results showed that the proposed MCSVM classifier achieves better results than standard SVM. A paired t-test and Anova analysis showed that the results are statistically significant.

This chapter presents a method for generating binary and multiclass Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier with multiplierless kernel function. This design provides reduced power, area and reduced cost due to the use of multiplierless kernel operation. Binary SVM classifier classifies two groups of linearly or nonlinearly separable data while the multiclass classification provides classification of three nonlinearly separable data. Here, at first SVM classifier is trained for different classification problems and then the extracted training parameters are used in the testing phase of the same. The dataflow from all the processing elements (PEs) are parallely supported by systolic array. This systolic array architecture provides faster processing of the whole system design.

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.

Conventional methods of medical text data classification, neglect of context among different words and semantic information, has a poor text description, classification effect and generalization capability and robustness. To tackle the inefficiencies and low precision in the classification of medical text data, in this paper, we presented a new classification method with improved convolutional neural network (CNN) and support vector machine (SVM), i.e., CNN-SVM method. In the method, some convolution kernel filters that contribute greatly to the CNN model are first selected by the average response energy (ARE) value, and then used to simplify and reconstruct the CNN model. Next, the SVM classifier was optimized by firefly algorithm (FA) and context information to overcome the disadvantages of over-saturation and over-training in SVM classification. Finally, the presented CNN-SVM method is tested by the simulation experiment and the true classification of medical text data. The experimental results show that the presented CNN-SVM method in this paper can significantly reduce the complexity and amount of computation compared to the conventional methods, and further promote the computational efficiency and classification accuracy of medical text data.
