In terms of providing various scattering mechanisms, polarimetric target decompositions provide certain benefits for the interpretation of PolSAR images. This paper tested the capabilities of different polarimetric target decompositions in crop classification, while using a recently launched ensemble learning algorithm—namely Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM). For the classification of different crops (maize, potato, wheat, sunflower, and alfalfa) in the test site, multi-temporal polarimetric C-band RADARSAT-2 images were acquired over an agricultural area near Konya, Turkey. Four different decomposition models (Cloude–Pottier, Freeman–Durden, Van Zyl, and Yamaguchi) were employed to evaluate polarimetric target decomposition for crop classification. Besides the polarimetric target decomposed parameters, the original polarimetric features (linear backscatter coefficients, coherency, and covariance matrices) were also incorporated for crop classification. The experimental results demonstrated that polarimetric target decompositions, with the exception of Cloude–Pottier, were found to be superior to the original features in terms of overall classification accuracy. The highest classification accuracy (92.07%) was achieved by Yamaguchi, whereas the lowest (75.99%) was achieved by the covariance matrix. Model-based decompositions achieved higher performance with respect to eigenvector-based decompositions in terms of class-based accuracies. Furthermore, the results emphasize the added benefits of model-based decompositions for crop classification using PolSAR data.

Aiming at the problems of weak generalization ability and long training time in most fault diagnosis models based on deep learning, such as support vector machines and random forest algorithms, one intelligent diagnosis method of rolling bearing fault based on the improved convolution neural network and light gradient boosting machine is proposed. At first, the convolution layer is used to extract the features of the original signal. Second, the generalization ability of the model is improved by replacing the full connection layer with the global average pooling layer. Then, the extracted features are classified by a light gradient boosting machine. Finally, the verification experiment is carried out, and the experimental result shows that the average training and diagnosis time of the model is only 39.73 s and 0.09 s, respectively, and the average classification accuracy of the model is 99.72% and 95.62%, respectively, on the same and variable load test sets, which indicates that the diagnostic efficiency and classification accuracy of the proposed model are better than those of other comparison models.

Automatic sleep staging with only one channel is a challenging problem in sleep-related research. In this paper, a simple and efficient method named PPG-based multi-class automatic sleep staging (PMSS) is proposed using only a photoplethysmography (PPG) signal. Single-channel PPG data were obtained from four categories of subjects in the CAP sleep database. After the preprocessing of PPG data, feature extraction was performed from the time domain, frequency domain, and nonlinear domain, and a total of 21 features were extracted. Finally, the Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM) classifier was used for multi-class sleep staging. The accuracy of the multi-class automatic sleep staging was over 70%, and the Cohen’s kappa statistic k was over 0.6. This also showed that the PMSS method can also be applied to stage the sleep state for patients with sleep disorders.

Diabetes mellitus is a health disorder that occurs when the blood sugar level becomes extremely high due to body resistance in producing the required amount of insulin. The aliment happens to be among the major causes of death in Nigeria and the world at large. This study was carried out to detect diabetes mellitus by developing a hybrid model that comprises of two machine learning model namely Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LGBM) and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN). This research is aimed at developing a machine learning model for detecting the occurrence of diabetes in patients. The performance metrics employed in evaluating the finding for this study are Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) Curve, Five-fold Cross-validation, precision, and accuracy score. The proposed system had an accuracy of 91% and the area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve was 93%. The experimental result shows that the prediction accuracy of the hybrid model is better than traditional machine learning
