Abstract Most of the studies in the field of Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) based on electroencephalography have a wide range of applications. Extracting Steady State Visual Evoked Potential (SSVEP) is regarded as one of the most useful tools in BCI systems. In this study, different methods such as feature extraction with different spectral methods (Shannon entropy, skewness, kurtosis, mean, variance) (bank of filters, narrow-bank IIR filters, and wavelet transform magnitude), feature selection performed by various methods (decision tree, principle component analysis (PCA), t-test, Wilcoxon, Receiver operating characteristic (ROC)), and classification step applying k nearest neighbor (k-NN), perceptron, support vector machines (SVM), Bayesian, multiple layer perceptron (MLP) were compared from the whole stream of signal processing. Through combining such methods, the effective overview of the study indicated the accuracy of classical methods. In addition, the present study relied on a rather new feature selection described by decision tree and PCA, which is used for the BCI-SSVEP systems. Finally, the obtained accuracies were calculated based on the four recorded frequencies representing four directions including right, left, up, and down.

Anomaly-based intrusion detection system detects intrusion to the computer network based on a reference model that has to be able to identify its normal behavior and flag what is not normal. In this process network traffic is classified into two groups by adding different labels to normal and malicious behavior. Main disadvantage of anomaly-based intrusion detection system is necessity to learn the difference between normal and not normal. Another disadvantage is the complexity of datasets which simulate realistic network traffic. Feature selection and normalization can be used to reduce data complexity and decrease processing runtime by selecting a better feature space This paper presents the results of testing the influence of feature selection and instances normalization to the classification performances of k-nearest neighbor, weighted k-nearest neighbor, support vector machines and decision tree models on 10 days records of the Kyoto 2006+ dataset. The data was pre-processed to remove all categorical features from the dataset. The resulting subset contained 17 features. Features containing instances which could not be normalized into the range [-1, 1] have also been removed. The resulting subset consisted of nine features. The feature ‘Label’ categorized network traffic to two classes: normal (1) and malicious (0). The performance metric to evaluate models was accuracy. Proposed method resulted in very high accuracy values with Decision Tree giving highest values for not-normalized and with k-nearest neighbor giving highest values for normalized data.Keywords: feature selection, normalization, k-NN, weighted k-NN, SVM, decision tree, Kyoto 2006+

Action recognition algorithms are widely used in the fields of medical health and pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR). The classification and recognition of non-normal walking actions and normal walking actions are very important for improving the accuracy of medical health indicators and PDR steps. Existing motion recognition algorithms focus on the recognition of normal walking actions, and the recognition of non-normal walking actions common to daily life is incomplete or inaccurate, resulting in a low overall recognition accuracy. This paper proposes a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) action recognition method based on Relief-F feature selection and relief-bagging-support vector machine (SVM). Feature selection using the Relief-F algorithm reduces the dimensions by 16 and reduces the optimization time by an average of 9.55 s. Experiments show that the improved algorithm for identifying non-normal walking actions has an accuracy of 96.63%; compared with Decision Tree (DT), it increased by 11.63%; compared with k-nearest neighbor (KNN), it increased by 26.62%; and compared with random forest (RF), it increased by 11.63%. The average Area Under Curve (AUC) of the improved algorithm improved by 0.1143 compared to KNN, by 0.0235 compared to DT, and by 0.04 compared to RF.

Herniation in the lumbar area is one of the most common diseases which results in lower back pain (LBP) causing discomfort and inconvenience in the patients’ daily lives. A computer aided diagnosis (CAD) system can be of immense benefit as it generates diagnostic results within a short time while increasing precision of diagnosis and eliminating human errors. We have proposed a new method for automatic diagnosis of lumbar disc herniation based on clinical MRI data. We use T2-W sagittal and myelograph images. The presented method has been applied on 30 clinical cases, each containing 7 discs (210 lumbar discs) for the herniation diagnosis. We employ Otsu thresholding method to extract the spinal cord from MR images of lumbar disc. A third order polynomial is then aligned on the extracted spinal cords, and by the end of preprocessing stage, all the T2-W sagittal images will have been prepared for specifying disc boundary and labeling. Having extracted an ROI for each disc, we proceed to use intensity and shape features for classification. The extracted features have been selected by Local Subset Feature Selection. The results demonstrated 91.90%, 92.38% and 95.23% accuracy for artificial neural network, K-nearest neighbor and support vector machine (SVM) classifiers respectively, indicating the superiority of the proposed method to those mentioned in similar studies.

This paper reports a comparative study of feature selection algorithms on a hyperlipimedia data set. Three methods of feature selection were evaluated, including document frequency (DF), information gain (IG) and aχ2 statistic (CHI). The classification systems use a vector to represent a document and use tfidfie (term frequency, inverted document frequency, and inverted entropy) to compute term weights. In order to compare the effectives of feature selection, we used three classification methods: Naïve Bayes (NB), k Nearest Neighbor (kNN) and Support Vector Machines (SVM). The experimental results show that IG and CHI outperform significantly DF, and SVM and NB is more effective than KNN when macro-averagingF1 measure is used. DF is suitable for the task of large text classification.


Electroencephalographic (EEG) signals are the preferred input for non-invasive Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). Efficient signal processing strategies, including feature extraction and classification, are required to distinguish the underlying task of BCI. This work proposes the optimized common spatial pattern(CSP) filtering technique as the feature extraction method for collecting the spatially spread variation of the signal. The bandpass filter (BPF) designed for this work assures the availability of event-related synchronized (ERS) and event-related desynchronized (ERD) signal as input to the spatial filter. This work takes consideration of the area-specific electrodes for feature formation. This work further proposes a comparative analysis of classifier algorithms for classification accuracy(CA), sensitivity and specificity and the considered algorithms are Support Vector Machine(SVM), Linear Discriminant Analysis(LDA), and K-Nearest Neighbor(KNN). Performance parameters considered are CA, sensitivity, and selectivity, which can judge the method not only for high CA but also inclining towards the particular class. Thus it will direct in the selection of appropriate classifier as well as tuning the classifier to get the balanced results. In this work, CA, the prior performance parameter is obtained to be 88.2% sensitivity of 94.2% and selectivity 82.2% for the cosine KNN classifier. SVM with linear kernel function also gives the comparable results, thus concluding that the robust classifiers perform well for all parameters in case of CSP for feature extraction.

Early diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) based on electromyography (EMG) is crucial. The processing of a non-stationary EMG signal requires powerful multi-resolution methods. Our study analyzes and classifies the EMG signals. In the present work, we introduce a novel flexible method for classification of EMG signals using tunable Q-factor wavelet transform (TQWT). Different sub-bands generated by the TQWT technique were served to extract useful information related to energy and then the calculated features were selected using a filter selection (FS) method. The effectiveness of the feature selection step resulted not only in the improvement of classification performance but also in reducing the computation time of the classification algorithm. The selected feature subsets were used as inputs to multiple classifier algorithms, namely, k-nearest neighbor (k-NN), least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) and random forest (RF) for automated diagnosis. The experimental results show better classification measures with k-NN classifier compared with LS-SVM and RF. The robustness of the classification task was tested using a ten-fold cross-validation method. The outcomes of our proposed approach can be exploited to aid clinicians in neuromuscular disorders detection.

Indonesia merupakan negara dengan keanekaragaman hayati terbesar kedua di dunia setelah Brazil. Indonesia memiliki sekitar 25.000 spesies tumbuhan dan 400.000 jenis hewan dan ikan. Diperkirakan 8.500 spesies ikan hidup di perairan Indonesia atau merupakan 45% dari jumlah spesies yang ada di dunia, dengan sekitar 7.000an adalah spesies ikan laut. Untuk menentukan berapa jumlah spesies tersebut dibutuhkan suatu keahlian di bidang taksonomi. Dalam pelaksanaannya mengidentifikasi suatu jenis ikan bukanlah hal yang mudah karena memerlukan suatu metode dan peralatan tertentu, juga pustaka mengenai taksonomi. Pemrosesan video atau citra pada data ekosistem perairan yang dilakukan secara otomatis mulai dikembangkan. Dalam pengembangannya, proses deteksi dan identifikasi spesies ikan menjadi suatu tantangan dibandingkan dengan deteksi dan identifikasi pada objek yang lain. Metode deep learning yang berhasil dalam melakukan klasifikasi objek pada citra mampu untuk menganalisa data secara langsung tanpa adanya ekstraksi fitur pada data secara khusus. Sistem tersebut memiliki parameter atau bobot yang berfungsi sebagai ektraksi fitur maupun sebagai pengklasifikasi. Data yang diproses menghasilkan output yang diharapkan semirip mungkin dengan data output yang sesungguhnya.  CNN merupakan arsitektur deep learning yang mampu mereduksi dimensi pada data tanpa menghilangkan ciri atau fitur pada data tersebut. Pada penelitian ini akan dikembangkan model hybrid CNN (Convolutional Neural Networks) untuk mengekstraksi fitur dan beberapa algoritma klasifikasi untuk mengidentifikasi spesies ikan. Algoritma klasifikasi yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah : Logistic Regression (LR), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Tree, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN),  Random Forest, Backpropagation.
