Proposed Model

Glaucoma is one of the eye diseases stimulated by the fluid pressure that increases in the eyes, damaging the optic nerves and causing partial or complete vision loss. As Glaucoma appears in later stages and it is a slow disease, detailed screening and detection of the retinal images is required to avoid vision forfeiture. This study aims to detect glaucoma at early stages with the help of deep learning-based feature extraction. Retinal fundus images are utilized for the training and testing of our proposed model. In the first step, images are pre-processed, before the region of interest (ROI) is extracted employing segmentation. Then, features of the optic disc (OD) are extracted from the images containing optic cup (OC) utilizing the hybrid features descriptors, i.e., convolutional neural network (CNN), local binary patterns (LBP), histogram of oriented gradients (HOG), and speeded up robust features (SURF). Moreover, low-level features are extracted using HOG, whereas texture features are extracted using the LBP and SURF descriptors. Furthermore, high-level features are computed using CNN. Additionally, we have employed a feature selection and ranking technique, i.e., the MR-MR method, to select the most representative features. In the end, multi-class classifiers, i.e., support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), and K-nearest neighbor (KNN), are employed for the classification of fundus images as healthy or diseased. To assess the performance of the proposed system, various experiments have been performed using combinations of the aforementioned algorithms that show the proposed model based on the RF algorithm with HOG, CNN, LBP, and SURF feature descriptors, providing <=99% accuracy on benchmark datasets and 98.8% on k-fold cross-validation for the early detection of glaucoma.

Proposed Model

The traffic flow prediction is becoming increasingly crucial in Intelligent Transportation Systems. Accurate prediction result is the precondition of traffic guidance, management, and control. To improve the prediction accuracy, a spatiotemporal traffic flow prediction method is proposed combined with k-nearest neighbor (KNN) and long short-term memory network (LSTM), which is called KNN-LSTM model in this paper. KNN is used to select mostly related neighboring stations with the test station and capture spatial features of traffic flow. LSTM is utilized to mine temporal variability of traffic flow, and a two-layer LSTM network is applied to predict traffic flow respectively in selected stations. The final prediction results are obtained by result-level fusion with rank-exponent weighting method. The prediction performance is evaluated with real-time traffic flow data provided by the Transportation Research Data Lab (TDRL) at the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD) Data Center. Experimental results indicate that the proposed model can achieve a better performance compared with well-known prediction models including autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA), support vector regression (SVR), wavelet neural network (WNN), deep belief networks combined with support vector regression (DBN-SVR), and LSTM models, and the proposed model can achieve on average 12.59% accuracy improvement.

Rapid growth of Diabetes mellitus in people causes damage to posterior part of eye vessel structures. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is an important hurdle in diabetic people and it causes lesion formation in retina due to retinal vessel structures damage. Bright lesions (BLs) or exudates are initial clinical signs of DR. Early BLs detection can help avoiding vision loss. The severity can be recognized based on number of BLs formed in the color fundus image. Manually diagnosing a large amount of images is time consuming. So a computerized DR grading and BLs detection system is proposed. In this paper for BLs detection, curvelet fusion enhancement is done initially because bright objects maps to largest coefficients in an image by utilizing the curvelet transform, so that BLs can be recognized in the retina easily. Then optic disk (OD) appearance is similar to BLs and vessel structures are barriers for lesion exact detection and moreover OD falsely classified as BLs and that increases false positives in classification. So these structures are segmented and eliminated by thresholding techniques. Various features were obtained from detected BLs. Publicly available databases are used for DR severity testing. 260 fundus images were used for the performance evaluation of proposed work. The support vector machine classifier (SVM) used to separate fundus images in various levels of DR based on feature set extracted. The proposed system that obtained the statistical measures were sensitivity 100%, specificity 95.4% and accuracy 97.74%. Compared to existing state-of-art techniques, the proposed work obtained better results in terms of sensitivity, specificity and accuracy.

Hindi is the official language of India and used by a large population for several public services like postal, bank, judiciary, and public surveys. Efficient management of these services needs language-based automation. The proposed model addresses the problem of handwritten Hindi character recognition using a machine learning approach. The pre-trained DCNN models namely; InceptionV3-Net, VGG19-Net, and ResNet50 were used for the extraction of salient features from the characters’ images. A novel approach of fusion is adopted in the proposed work; the DCNN-based features are fused with the handcrafted features received from Bi-orthogonal discrete wavelet transform. The feature size was reduced by the Principal Component Analysis method. The hybrid features were examined with popular classifiers namely; Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The recognition cost was reduced by 84.37%. The model achieved significant scores of precision, recall, and F1-measure—98.78%, 98.67%, and 98.69%—with overall recognition accuracy of 98.73%.

An accurate prediction of freight volume at the sanitary facilities of seaports is a key factor to improve planning operations and resource allocation. This study proposes a hybrid approach to forecast container volume at the sanitary facilities of a seaport. The methodology consists of a three-step procedure, combining the strengths of linear and non-linear models and the capability of a clustering technique. First, a self-organizing map (SOM) is used to decompose the time series into smaller clusters easier to predict. Second, a seasonal autoregressive integrated moving averages (SARIMA) model is applied in each cluster in order to obtain predicted values and residuals of each cluster. These values are finally used as inputs of a support vector regression (SVR) model together with the historical data of the cluster. The final prediction result integrates the prediction results of each cluster. The experimental results showed that the proposed model provided accurate prediction results and outperforms the rest of the models tested. The proposed model can be used as an automatic decision-making tool by seaport management due to its capacity to plan resources in advance, avoiding congestion and time delays.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a disease which causes visual deficiency and irreversible blindness to the elderly. In this paper, an automatic classification method for AMD is proposed to perform robust and reproducible assessments in a telemedicine context. First, a study was carried out to highlight the most relevant features for AMD characterization based on texture, color, and visual context in fundus images. A support vector machine and a random forest were used to classify images according to the different AMD stages following the AREDS protocol and to evaluate the features’ relevance. Experiments were conducted on a database of 279 fundus images coming from a telemedicine platform. The results demonstrate that local binary patterns in multiresolution are the most relevant for AMD classification, regardless of the classifier used. Depending on the classification task, our method achieves promising performances with areas under the ROC curve between 0.739 and 0.874 for screening and between 0.469 and 0.685 for grading. Moreover, the proposed automatic AMD classification system is robust with respect to image quality.

Feature Selection Problem

This research presents a way of feature selection problem for classification of sentiments that use ensemble-based classifier. This includes a hybrid approach of minimum redundancy and maximum relevance (mRMR) technique and Forest Optimization Algorithm (FOA) (i.e. mRMR-FOA) based feature selection. Before applying the FOA on sentiment analysis, it has been used as feature selection technique applied on 10 different classification datasets publically available on UCI machine learning repository. The classifiers for example k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN), Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Naïve Bayes used the ensemble based algorithm for available datasets. The mRMR-FOA uses the Blitzer’s dataset (customer reviews on electronic products survey) to select the significant features. The classification of sentiments has noticed to improve by 12 to 18%. The evaluated results are further enhanced by the ensemble of k-NN, NB and SVM with an accuracy of 88.47% for the classification of sentiment analysis task.

Abstract The coronavirus infection is increasingly evolving to be an international epidemic in 27 countries as a serious respiratory disease. Therefore, the computational biology carrying this virus that correlated with the human population is urgently needed. In this paper, the classification of the human protein sequences of COVID-19 according to the country is applied by machine learning algorithms. The proposed model is based on the distinguishing of 9238 sequences by three stages including data preprocessing, data labeling, and classification. In the first stage, the function of data preprocessing converts the amino acids of COVID-19 protein sequences to eight groups of numbers based on volume and dipole of the amino acids. In the second stage, there are two methods for data labeling of 27 countries from 0 to 26. The first method is based on the selection of one number for each country according to the code number of countries while the second method is based on binary elements only for each country. The classification algorithms are executed to discover different COVID-19 protein sequences according to their countries. The findings are concluded that the accuracy of 100% performed by country based binary labeling method with Linear Regression (LR) or K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) or Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers. Further, it found that the USA with large data records in infection rate has more priority for correct classification compared to other countries with a low data rate. The unbalanced data for COVID-19 protein sequences is considered a major issue, especially the available data in USA represented 76% from a total of 9238 sequences. As a consequence, this proposed model will help as a diagnostic bioinformatics tool for the COVID-19 protein sequences among different countries.
