Mango Fruit

Most mango farms classify the maturity stage manually by trained workers using external indicators such as size, shape, and skin color, which can lead to human error or inconsistencies. We developed four common machine learning (ML) classifiers, the k-mean, naïve Bayes, support vector machine, and feed-forward artificial neural network (FANN), all of which were aimed at classifying the ripeness stage of mangoes at harvest. The ML classifiers were trained on biochemical data and then tested on physical and electrical data.The performance of the ML models was compared using fourfold cross validation. The FANN classifier performed the best, with a mean accuracy of 89.6% for unripe, ripe, and overripe classes, when compared to the other classifiers.

Classification Of Images

The popularity of the use of computational tools such as artificial intelligence has been increasing in recent years, and its importance in medicine is a fact. This field has benefited greatly thanks to the incorporation of more effective and faster methodologies in the medical diagnosis and registration processes. In the present work, the classification of images related to three diseases: Tuberculosis, Glaucoma and Parkinson's is carried out. We used deep learning and the RESNET50 convolutional neural network to extract classification characteristics, and then perform the classification based on standard methods, such as support vector machines, Naïve Bayes, and Centroid-based classifier, which are incorporated into two scenarios (cross validation; training and test sets). The classifier's performance is evaluated quantitatively using three evaluation metrics. The results obtained support the feasibility of the proposed methodology and its potential to improve medical diagnosis.

Nosema Disease

The use of image processing tools, machine learning, and deep learning approaches has become very useful and robust in recent years. This paper introduces the detection of the Nosema disease, which is considered to be one of the most economically significant diseases today. This work shows a solution for recognizing and identifying Nosema cells between the other existing objects in the microscopic image. Two main strategies are examined. The first strategy uses image processing tools to extract the most valuable information and features from the dataset of microscopic images. Then, machine learning methods are applied, such as a neural network (ANN) and support vector machine (SVM) for detecting and classifying the Nosema disease cells. The second strategy explores deep learning and transfers learning. Several approaches were examined, including a convolutional neural network (CNN) classifier and several methods of transfer learning (AlexNet, VGG-16 and VGG-19), which were fine-tuned and applied to the object sub-images in order to identify the Nosema images from the other object images. The best accuracy was reached by the VGG-16 pre-trained neural network with 96.25%.

The idea of ​​Belknap's four-valued logic is that modern computers should function normally not only with the true values ​​of the input information, but also under the conditions of inconsistency and incompleteness of true failures. Belknap's logic introduces four true values: T (true - true), F (false - false), N (none - nobody, nothing, none), B (both - the two, not only the one but also the other).  For ease of work with these true values, the following designations are introduced: (1, 0, n, b). Belknap's logic can be used to obtain estimates of proximity measures for discrete objects, for which the functions Jaccard and Needhem, Russel and Rao, Sokal and Michener, Hamming, etc. are used. In this case, it becomes possible to assess the proximity, recognition and classification of objects in conditions of uncertainty when the true values ​​are taken from the set (1, 0, n, b). Based on the architecture of the Hamming neural network, neural networks have been developed that allow calculating the distances between objects described using true values ​​(1, 0, n, b).

Malware Classification

Malware is a threat to people in the cyber world. It steals personal information and harms computer systems. Various developers and information security specialists around the globe continuously work on strategies for detecting malware. From the last few years, machine learning has been investigated by many researchers for malware classification. The existing solutions require more computing resources and are not efficient for datasets with large numbers of samples. Using existing feature extractors for extracting features of images consumes more resources. This paper presents a Convolutional Neural Network model with pre-processing and augmentation techniques for the classification of malware gray-scale images. An investigation is conducted on the Malimg dataset, which contains 9339 gray-scale images. The dataset created from binaries of malware belongs to 25 different families. To create a precise approach and considering the success of deep learning techniques for the classification of raising the volume of newly created malware, we proposed CNN and Hybrid CNN+SVM model. The CNN is used as an automatic feature extractor that uses less resource and time as compared to the existing methods. Proposed CNN model shows (98.03%) accuracy which is better than other existing CNN models namely VGG16 (96.96%), ResNet50 (97.11%) InceptionV3 (97.22%), Xception (97.56%). The execution time of the proposed CNN model is significantly reduced than other existing CNN models. The proposed CNN model is hybridized with a support vector machine. Instead of using Softmax as activation function, SVM performs the task of classifying the malware based on features extracted by the CNN model. The proposed fine-tuned model of CNN produces a well-selected features vector of 256 Neurons with the FC layer, which is input to SVM. Linear SVC kernel transforms the binary SVM classifier into multi-class SVM, which classifies the malware samples using the one-against-one method and delivers the accuracy of 99.59%.

Complex Emotions

AbstractDuring the last decades, neurofeedback training for emotional self-regulation has received significant attention from both the scientific and clinical communities. However, most studies have focused on broader emotional states such as “negative vs. positive”, primarily due to our poor understanding of the functional anatomy of more complex emotions at the electrophysiological level. Our proof-of-concept study aims at investigating the feasibility of classifying two complex emotions that have been implicated in mental health, namely tenderness and anguish, using features extracted from the electroencephalogram (EEG) signal in healthy participants. Electrophysiological data were recorded from fourteen participants during a block-designed experiment consisting of emotional self-induction trials combined with a multimodal virtual scenario. For the within-subject classification, the linear Support Vector Machine was trained with two sets of samples: random cross-validation of the sliding windows of all trials; and 2) strategic cross-validation, assigning all the windows of one trial to the same fold. Spectral features, together with the frontal-alpha asymmetry, were extracted using Complex Morlet Wavelet analysis. Classification results with these features showed an accuracy of 79.3% on average when doing random cross-validation, and 73.3% when applying strategic cross-validation. We extracted a second set of features from the amplitude time-series correlation analysis, which significantly enhanced random cross-validation accuracy while showing similar performance to spectral features when doing strategic cross-validation. These results suggest that complex emotions show distinct electrophysiological correlates, which paves the way for future EEG-based, real-time neurofeedback training of complex emotional states.Significance statementThere is still little understanding about the correlates of high-order emotions (i.e., anguish and tenderness) in the physiological signals recorded with the EEG. Most studies have investigated emotions using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), including the real-time application in neurofeedback training. However, concerning the therapeutic application, EEG is a more suitable tool with regards to costs and practicability. Therefore, our proof-of-concept study aims at establishing a method for classifying complex emotions that can be later used for EEG-based neurofeedback on emotion regulation. We recorded EEG signals during a multimodal, near-immersive emotion-elicitation experiment. Results demonstrate that intraindividual classification of discrete emotions with features extracted from the EEG is feasible and may be implemented in real-time to enable neurofeedback.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> This paper describes a new framework for classification of hyperspectral images, based on both spectral and spatial information. The spatial information is obtained by an enhanced Marker-based Hierarchical Segmentation (MHS) algorithm. The hyperspectral data is first fed into the Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural network classification algorithm. Then, the MHS algorithm is applied in order to increase the accuracy of less-accurately classified land-cover types. In the proposed approach, the markers are extracted from the classification maps obtained by MLP and Support Vector Machines (SVM) classifiers. Experimental results on Washington DC Mall hyperspectral dataset, demonstrate the superiority of proposed approach compared to the MLP and the original MHS algorithms.</p>

The animal classification system is a technology to classify the animal class (type) automatically and useful in many applications. There are many types of learning models applied to this technology recently. Nonetheless, it is worth noting that the extraction of the features and the classification of the animal features is non-trivial, particularly in the deep learning approach for a successful animal classification system. The use of Transfer Learning (TL) has been demonstrated to be a powerful tool in the extraction of essential features. However, the employment of such a method towards animal classification applications are somewhat limited. The present study aims to determine a suitable TL-conventional classifier pipeline for animal classification. The VGG16 and VGG19 were used in extracting features and then coupled with either k-Nearest Neighbour (k-NN) or Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. Prior to that, a total of 4000 images were gathered consisting of a total of five classes which are cows, goats, buffalos, dogs, and cats. The data was split into the ratio of 80:20 for train and test. The classifiers hyper parameters are tuned by the Grids Search approach that utilises the five-fold cross-validation technique. It was demonstrated from the study that the best TL pipeline identified is the VGG16 along with an optimised SVM, as it was able to yield an average classification accuracy of 0.975. The findings of the present investigation could facilitate animal classification application, i.e. for monitoring animals in wildlife.

Novel Method

Classification of clutter, especially in the context of shore based radars, plays a crucial role in several applications. However, the task of distinguishing and classifying the sea clutter from land clutter has been historically performed using clutter models and/or coastal maps. In this paper, we propose two machine learning, particularly neural network, based approaches for sea-land clutter separation, namely the regularized randomized neural network (RRNN) and the kernel ridge regression neural network (KRR). We use a number of features, such as energy variation, discrete signal amplitude change frequency, autocorrelation performance, and other statistical characteristics of the respective clutter distributions, to improve the performance of the classification. Our evaluation based on a unique mixed dataset, which is comprised of partially synthetic clutter data for land and real clutter data from sea, offers improved classification accuracy. More specifically, the RRNN and KRR methods offer 98.50% and 98.75% accuracy, outperforming the conventional support vector machine and extreme learning based solutions.
