Automatic recognition methods for non-stationary electroencephalogram (EEG) data collected from EEG sensors play an essential role in neurological detection. The integrated approaches proposed in this study consist of Symlet wavelet processing, a gradient boosting machine, and a grid search optimizer for a three-class classification scheme for normal subjects, intermittent epilepsy, and continuous epilepsy. Fourth-order Symlet wavelets are adopted to decompose the EEG data into five frequencies sub-bands, such as gamma, beta, alpha, theta, and delta, whose statistical features were computed and used as classification features. The grid search optimizer is used to automatically find the optimal parameters for training the classifier. The classification accuracy of the gradient boosting machine was compared with that of a conventional support vector machine and a random forest classifier constructed according to previous descriptions. Multiple performance indices were used to evaluate the proposed classification scheme, which provided better classification accuracy and detection effectiveness than has been recently reported in other studies on three-class classification of EEG data.

The integrative approaches proposed in this study consists of Symlet wavelet processing, a gradient boosting machine, and a grid search optimizer for a three-level classification scheme for normal subjects, intermittent epilepsy, and continuous epilepsy. Fourth-order Symlet wavelets were adopted to decompose the EEG data into five time-frequency sub-bands, whose statistical features were computed and used as classification features. The grid search optimizer was used to automatically find the optimal parameters for training the classifier. The classification accuracy of the gradient boosting machine was compared with that of a support vector machine and a random forest classifier constructed according to previous descriptions. Multiple-index were used to evaluate the Symlet wavelet transform-gradient boosting machine-grid search optimizer classification scheme, which provided better classification accuracy and detection effectiveness than has recently reported in other work on three-level classification of EEG data.

To investigate the performance of extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) in remote sensing image classification tasks, XGBoost was first introduced and comparatively investigated for the spectral-spatial classification of hyperspectral imagery using the extended maximally stable extreme-region-guided morphological profiles (EMSER_MPs) proposed in this study. To overcome the potential issues of XGBoost, meta-XGBoost was proposed as an ensemble XGBoost method with classification and regression tree (CART), dropout-introduced multiple additive regression tree (DART), elastic net regression and parallel coordinate descent-based linear regression (linear) and random forest (RaF) boosters. Moreover, to evaluate the performance of the introduced XGBoost approach with different boosters, meta-XGBoost and EMSER_MPs, well-known and widely accepted classifiers, including support vector machine (SVM), bagging, adaptive boosting (AdaBoost), multi class AdaBoost (MultiBoost), extremely randomized decision trees (ExtraTrees), RaF, classification via random forest regression (CVRFR) and ensemble of nested dichotomies with extremely randomized decision tree (END-ERDT) methods, were considered in terms of the classification accuracy and computational efficiency. The experimental results based on two benchmark hyperspectral data sets confirm the superior performance of EMSER_MPs and EMSER_MPs with mean pixel values within region (EMSER_MPsM) compared to that for morphological profiles (MPs), morphological profile with partial reconstruction (MPPR), extended MPs (EMPs), extended MPPR (EMPPR), maximally stable extreme-region-guided morphological profiles (MSER_MPs) and MSER_MPs with mean pixel values within region (MSER_MPsM) features. The proposed meta-XGBoost algorithm is capable of obtaining better results than XGBoost with the CART, DART, linear and RaF boosters, and it could be an alternative to the other considered classifiers in terms of the classification of hyperspectral images using advanced spectral-spatial features, especially from generalized classification accuracy and model training efficiency perspectives.

AbstractGMLVQ (Generalized Matrix Relevance Learning Vector Quantization) is a method of machine learning with an adaptive metric. While training, the prototype vectors as well as the weight matrix of the metric are adapted simultaneously. The method is presented in more detail and compared with other machine learning methods employing a fixed metric. It was investigated how accurately the methods can assign the 6-channel EEG of 25 young drivers, who drove overnight in the simulation lab, to the two classes of mild and severe drowsiness. Results of cross-validation show that GMLVQ is at 81.7 ± 1.3 % mean classification accuracy. It is not as accurate as support-vector machines (SVM) and gradient boosting machines (GBM) and cannot exploit the potential of learning adaptive metrics in the case of EEG data. However, information is provided on the relevance of each signal feature from the weighting matrix.

This chapter introduces a novel approach to examine the scope of tactile sensory perception as a possible modality of treatment of patients suffering from certain mental disorder using a Support Vector Machines with kernelized neural network. Experiments are designed to understand the perceptual difference of schizophrenic patients from normal and healthy subjects with respect to three different touch classes, including soft touch, rubbing, massaging and embracing and their three typical subjective responses. Experiments undertaken indicate that for normal subjects and schizophrenic patients, the average percentage accuracy in classification of all the three classes: pleasant/acceptable/unpleasant is comparable with their respective oral responses. In addition, for schizophrenic patients, the percentage accuracy for acceptable class is very poor of the order of below 12%, which for normal subjects is quite high (42%). Performance analysis reveals that the proposed classifier outperforms its competitors with respect to classification accuracy in all the above three classes.

AbstractBrain computer interface (BCI) systems have been regarded as a new way of communication for humans. In this research, common methods such as wavelet transform are applied in order to extract features. However, genetic algorithm (GA), as an evolutionary method, is used to select features. Finally, classification was done using the two approaches support vector machine (SVM) and Bayesian method. Five features were selected and the accuracy of Bayesian classification was measured to be 80% with dimension reduction. Ultimately, the classification accuracy reached 90.4% using SVM classifier. The results of the study indicate a better feature selection and the effective dimension reduction of these features, as well as a higher percentage of classification accuracy in comparison with other studies.

<p>Obtaining high accuracy in land cover classification is a non-trivial problem in geosciences for monitoring urban and rural areas. In this study, different classification algorithms were tested with different types of data, and besides the effects of seasonal changes on these classification algorithms and the evaluation of the data used are investigated. In addition, the effect of increasing classification training samples on classification accuracy has been revealed as a result of the study. Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images and Sentinel-2 multispectral optical images were used as datasets. Object-based approach was used for the classification of various fused image combinations. The classification algorithms Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forest (RF) and K-Nearest Neighborhood (kNN) methods were used for this process. In addition, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) was examined separately to define the exact contribution to the classification accuracy.  As a result, the overall accuracies were compared by classifying the fused data generated by combining optical and SAR images. It has been determined that the increase in the number of training samples improve the classification accuracy. Moreover, it was determined that the object-based classification obtained from single SAR imagery produced the lowest classification accuracy among the used different dataset combinations in this study. In addition, it has been shown that NDVI data does not increase the accuracy of the classification in the winter season as the trees shed their leaves due to climate conditions.</p>

SVM (Support Vector Machine) is a powerful data mining algorithm, and is mainly used to finish classification or regression tasks. In this literature, SVM is used to conduct disease prediction. We focus on integrating with stratified sample and grid search technology to improve the classification accuracy of SVM, thus, we propose an improved algorithm named SGSVM: Stratified sample and Grid search based SVM. To testify the performance of SGSVM, heart-disease data from UCI are used in our experiment, and the results show SGSVM has obvious improvement in classification accuracy, and this is very valuable especially in disease prediction.

Image feature extraction and classification is increasingly important in all sectors of the images system management. Aiming at the problems that applying Hu invariant moments to extract image feature computes large and too dimensions, this paper presented Harris corner invariant moments algorithm. This algorithm only calculates corner coordinates, so can reduce the corner matching dimensions. Combined with the SVM (Support Vector Machine) classification method, we conducted a classification for a large number of images, and the result shows that using this algorithm to extract invariant moments and classifying can achieve better classification accuracy.
