Dental classification and numbering on posterior dental radiography are important tasks for forensic and biomedical applications. This paper proposed a novel method of classification and numbering on posterior dental radiography using Decimation-Free Directional Filter Bank (DDFB) and mesiodistal neck detection. The method was started by a segmentation method for decomposing dental image into directional images using DDFB. Detection of mesiodistal neck tooth separated the crown and the root of teeth. Finally we used support vector machine for classification and numbering. The experimental results achieved a classification accuracy rate of 91%. It approved the robustness of the proposed method for solving the problem of dental classification and numbering.

To make feature subset which can gain the higher classification accuracy rate, the method based on genetic algorithms and the feature selection of support vector machine is proposed. Firstly, the ReliefF algorithm provides a priori information to GA, the parameters of the support vector machine mixed into the genetic encoding,and then using genetic algorithm finds the optimal feature subset and support vector machines parameter combination. Finally, experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can gain the higher classification accuracy rate based on the smaller feature subset.

Steerable Filter

This study establishes an artificial intelligence (AI) model for detecting pothole on asphalt pavement surface. Image processing methods including Gaussian filter, steerable filter, and integral projection are utilized for extracting features from digital images. A data set consisting of 200 image samples has been collected to train and validate the predictive performance of two machine learning algorithms including the least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) and the artificial neural network (ANN). Experimental results obtained from a repeated subsampling process with 20 runs show that both LS-SVM and ANN are capable methods for pothole detection with classification accuracy rate larger than 85%. In addition, the LS-SVM has achieved the highest classification accuracy rate (roughly 89%) and the area under the curve (0.96). Accordingly, the proposed AI approach used with LS-SVM can be very potential to assist transportation agencies and road inspectors in the task of pavement pothole detection.

<p>In this paper,  a computer-aided detection system is developed to detect lung nodules at an early stage using Computed Tomography (CT) scan images where lung nodules are one of the most important indicators to predict lung cancer. The developed system consists of four stages. First, the raw Computed Tomography lung  images were preprocessed to enhance the image contrast and eliminate noise. Second, an automatic segmentation procedure for human's lung and pulmonary nodule canddates (nodules, blood vessels) using a two-level thresholding technique and morphological operations. Third, a feature fusion technique that fuses four feature extraction techniques: the statistical features of first and second order, value histogram features, histogram of oriented gradients features, and texture features of gray level co-occurrence matrix based on wavelet coefficients was utilised to extract the main features. The fourth stage is the classifier. Three classifiers were used and their performance was compared in order to obtain the highest classification accuracy. These are; multi-layer feed-forward neural network, radial basis function neural network and support vector machine. The  performance of the proposed system was assessed using three quantitative parameters. These are: the classification accuracy rate, the sensitivity and the specificity. Forty standard computed tomography images containing 320 regions of interest obtained from an early lung cancer action project association were used to test and evaluate the developed system. The images consists of 40 computed tomography scan images. The results have shown that the fused features vector resulting from genetic algorithm as a feature selection technique and the support vector machine classifier give the highest classification accuracy rate, sensitivity and specificity values of 99.6%, 100% and 99.2%, respectively.</p>

Objective: Since the adequacy of Learning Objects (LO) is a dynamic concept and changes in its use, needs and evolution, it is important to consider the importance of LO in terms of time to assess its relevance as the main objective of the proposed research. Another goal is to increase the classification accuracy and precision. Methods: With existing IR and ranking algorithms, MAP optimization either does not lead to a comprehensively optimal solution or is expensive and time - consuming. Nevertheless, Support Vector Machine learning competently leads to a globally optimal solution. SVM is a powerful classifier method with its high classification accuracy and the Tilted time window based model is computationally efficient. Results: This paper proposes and implements the LO ranking and retrieval algorithm based on the Tilted Time window and the Support Vector Machine, which uses the merit of both methods. The proposed model is implemented for the NCBI dataset and MAT Lab. Conclusion: The experiments have been carried out on the NCBI dataset, and LO weights are assigned to be relevant and non - relevant for a given user query according to the Tilted Time series and the Cosine similarity score. Results showed that the model proposed has much better accuracy.

Multi Class Classification

In this paper, a hybrid method based on deep learning is proposed to visually classify terrains encountered by mobile robots. Considering the limited computing resource on mobile robots and the requirement for high classification accuracy, the proposed hybrid method combines a convolutional neural network with a support vector machine to keep a high classification accuracy while improve work efficiency. The key idea is that the convolutional neural network is used to finish a multi-class classification and simultaneously the support vector machine is used to make a two-class classification. The two-class classification performed by the support vector machine is aimed at one kind of terrain that users are mostly concerned with. Results of the two classifications will be consolidated to get the final classification result. The convolutional neural network used in this method is modified for the on-board usage of mobile robots. In order to enhance efficiency, the convolutional neural network has a simple architecture. The convolutional neural network and the support vector machine are trained and tested by using RGB images of six kinds of common terrains. Experimental results demonstrate that this method can help robots classify terrains accurately and efficiently. Therefore, the proposed method has a significant potential for being applied to the on-board usage of mobile robots.

AbstractFor the financial distress prediction model based on support vector machine, there are no theories concerning how to choose a proper kernel function in a data-dependent way. This paper proposes a method of modified kernel function that can availably enhance classification accuracy. We apply an information-geometric method to modifying a kernel that is based on the structure of the Riemannian geometry induced in the input space by the kernel. A conformal transformation of a kernel from input space to higher-dimensional feature space enlarges volume elements locally near support vectors that are situated around the classification boundary and reduce the number of support vectors. This paper takes the Gaussian radial basis function as the internal kernel. Additionally, this paper combines the above method with the theories of standard regularization and non-dimensionalization to construct the new model. In the empirical analysis section, the paper adopts the financial data of Chinese listed companies. It uses five groups of experiments with different parameters to compare the classification accuracy. We can make the conclusion that the model of modified kernel function can effectively reduce the number of support vectors, and improve the classification accuracy.

Systemic Arterial Tree

The early detection and intervention of artery stenosis is very important to reduce the mortality of cardiovascular disease. A novel method for predicting artery stenosis was proposed by using the input impedance of the systemic arterial tree and support vector machine (SVM). Based on the built transmission line model of a 55-segment systemic arterial tree, the input impedance of the arterial tree was calculated by using a recursive algorithm. A sample database of the input impedance was established by specifying the different positions and degrees of artery stenosis. A SVM prediction model was trained by using the sample database. 10-fold cross-validation was used to evaluate the performance of the SVM. The effects of stenosis position and degree on the accuracy of the prediction were discussed. The results showed that the mean specificity, sensitivity and overall accuracy of the SVM are 80.2%, 98.2% and 89.2%, respectively, for the 50% threshold of stenosis degree. Increasing the threshold of the stenosis degree from 10% to 90% increases the overall accuracy from 82.2% to 97.4%. Increasing the distance of the stenosis artery from the heart gradually decreases the overall accuracy from 97.1% to 58%. The deterioration of the stenosis degree to 90% increases the prediction accuracy of the SVM to more than 90% for the stenosis of peripheral artery. The simulation demonstrated theoretically the feasibility of the proposed method for predicting artery stenosis via the input impedance of the systemic arterial tree and SVM.
