Abstract Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that can induce hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke and other diseases, so the detection of sleep apnea is clinically important for the prevention of these diseases. In order to improve the detection performance and verify which physiological signals are better for sleep apnea detection, this paper uses multi-channel signal superposition and channel summation to improve the content of valid information in the original signal. Thirty features are analyzed by Relief feature selection algorithm. Finally, 15 features were used to build a classification model and support vector machine (SVM) was used for classification. The experimental results showed that the highest accuracy of 96.24% was achieved when electrocardiogram (X2) and electroencephalogram (C3-A2) channels were used for channel summation.

This paper addresses the issue of detecting defects in Pine wood using features extracted from grayscale images. The feature set proposed here is based on the concept of texture and it is computed from the co-occurrence matrices. The features provide measures of properties such as smoothness, coarseness, and regularity. Comparative experiments using a color image based feature set extracted from percentile histograms are carried to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed feature set. Two different learning paradigms, neural networks and support vector machines, and a feature selection algorithm based on multi-objective genetic algorithms were considered in our experiments. The experimental results show that after feature selection, the grayscale image based feature set achieves very competitive performance for the problem of wood defect detection relative to the color image based features.

Abstract Background The breathing disorder obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) only occurs while asleep. While polysomnography (PSG) represents the premiere standard for diagnosing OSAS, it is quite costly, complicated to use, and carries a significant delay between testing and diagnosis. Methods This work describes a novel architecture and algorithm designed to efficiently diagnose OSAS via the use of smart phones. In our algorithm, features are extracted from the data, specifically blood oxygen saturation as represented by SpO2. These features are used by a support vector machine (SVM) based strategy to create a classification model. The resultant SVM classification model can then be employed to diagnose OSAS. To allow remote diagnosis, we have combined a simple monitoring system with our algorithm. The system allows physiological data to be obtained from a smart phone, the data to be uploaded to the cloud for processing, and finally population of a diagnostic report sent back to the smart phone in real-time. Results Our initial evaluation of this algorithm utilizing actual patient data finds its sensitivity, accuracy, and specificity to be 87.6%, 90.2%, and 94.1%, respectively. Discussion Our architecture can monitor human physiological readings in real time and give early warning of abnormal physiological parameters. Moreover, after our evaluation, we find 5G technology offers higher bandwidth with lower delays ensuring more effective monitoring. In addition, we evaluate our algorithm utilizing real-world data; the proposed approach has high accuracy, sensitivity, and specific, demonstrating that our approach is very promising. Conclusions Experimental results on the apnea data in University College Dublin (UCD) Database have proven the efficiency and effectiveness of our methodology. This work is a pilot project and still under development. There is no clinical validation and no support. In addition, the Internet of Things (IoT) architecture enables real-time monitoring of human physiological parameters, combined with diagnostic algorithms to provide early warning of abnormal data.

We present an efficient feature selection algorithm for computer aided detection (CAD) computed tomographic (CT) colonography. The algorithm (1) determines an appropriate piecewise linear network (PLN) model by cross validation, (2) applies the orthonormal least square (OLS) procedure to the PLN model utilizing a Modified Schmidt procedure, and (3) uses a floating search algorithm to select features that minimize the output variance. The undesirable "nesting effect" is prevented by the floating search approach, and the piecewise linear OLS procedure makes this algorithm very computationally efficient because the Modified Schmidt procedure only requires one data pass during the whole searching process. The selected features are compared to those obtained by other methods, through cross validation with support vector machines (SVMs).

Optimal Classification

With the exponential increase in a number of web pages daily, it makes it very difficult for a search engine to list relevant web pages. In this paper, we propose a machine learning-based classification model that can learn the best features in each web page and helps in search engine listing. The existing methods for listing have lots of drawbacks like interfacing the normal operations of the website and crawling lots of useless information. Our proposed algorithm provides an optimal classification for websites which has a large number of web pages such as Wikipedia by just considering core information like link text, side information, and header text. We implemented our algorithm with standard benchmark datasets, and the results show that our algorithm outperforms the existing algorithms.
