In recent years, surface electromyography (sEMG) signals have been increasingly used in pattern recognition and rehabilitation. In this paper, a real-time hand gesture recognition model using sEMG is proposed. We use an armband to acquire sEMG signals and apply a sliding window approach to segment the data in extracting features. A feedforward artificial neural network (ANN) is founded and trained by the training dataset. A test method is used in which the gesture will be recognized when recognized label times reach the threshold of activation times by the ANN classifier. In the experiment, we collected real sEMG data from twelve subjects and used a set of five gestures from each subject to evaluate our model, with an average recognition rate of 98.7% and an average response time of 227.76 ms, which is only one-third of the gesture time. Therefore, the pattern recognition system might be able to recognize a gesture before the gesture is completed.

In recent years, many types of research have continued to improve the environment of human speech and emotion recognition. As facial emotion recognition has gradually matured through speech recognition, the result of this study provided more accurate recognition of complex human emotional performance, and speech emotion identification will be derived from human subjective interpretation into the use of computers to automatically interpret the speaker’s emotional expression. Focused on use in medical care, which can be used to understand the current feelings of physicians and patients during a visit, and improve the medical treatment through the relationship between illness and interaction. By transforming the voice data into a single observation segment per second, the first to the thirteenth dimensions of the frequency cestrum coefficients are used as speech emotion recognition eigenvalue vectors. Vectors for the eigenvalue vectors are maximum, minimum, average, median, and standard deviation, and there are 65 eigenvalues in total for the construction of an artificial neural network. The sentiment recognition system developed by the hospital is used as a comparison between the sentiment recognition results of the artificial neural network classification, and then use the foregoing results for a comprehensive analysis to understand the interaction between the doctor and the patient. Using this experimental module, the emotion recognition rate is 93.34%, and the accuracy rate of facial emotion recognition results can be 86.3%.

Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is promoted to one of major schemes applied in pattern recognition area. Indeed, many approaches to software-based platforms have proven great performance of ANN. However, developing pattern recognition systems integrating ANN hardware-based architecture has been limited not only by the silicon requirements such as frequency, area, power, or resource but also by high accuracy and real-time applications strictly. Although a considerable number of ANN hardware-based architectures have been proposed currently, they have experienced a deprivation of functions due to both small configurations and ability of reconfiguration. Consequently, achieving an effective ANN hardware-based architecture so as to adapt to not only strict accuracy, enormous configures, or silicon area but also real-time criterion in pattern recognition systems has been really challenged. To tackle these issues, this work has proposed a dynamic structure of three-layer ANN architecture being able to reconfigure for adapting to various real-time applications. What is more, a complete SOPC system integrating proposed ANN hardware has also implemented to apply Vietnamese speech recognition automatically to confirm high recognition probability around 95.2 % towards 20 Vietnamese discrete words. Moreover, experiment results on such ASIC-based architecture have witnessed maximum frequency at 250 MHz on 130nm technology as well as great ability of reconfiguration.

The steel rod is an important part for project fields , and it is large-scale to be used. it is apt to crack, corrosion and so on in the poor working conditions. In order to recognize correctly the type of defects, a method was presented to extract frequency band energy feature by using wavelet package decomposition. In the meantime, to extract the peak-peak value in the time-domain and make the mixed feature vector. With the way of pattern recognition, the best recognition way was got by comparing the BP artificial neural network(ANN), PNN(probability neural network) artificial neural network and "one-versus-one" support vector machine(SVM).The result showed that the recognition rate of SVM was more suitable for defects’ identification in steel rod.

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is an important cause of mortality and morbidity globally. Objective : The early prediction of the CAD would be valuable in identifying individuals at risk, and in focusing resources on its prevention. In this paper, we aimed to establish a diagnostic model to predict CAD by using three approaches of ANN (pattern recognition-ANN, LVQ-ANN, and competitive ANN). Methods: One promising method for early prediction of disease based on risk factors is machine learning. Among different machine learning algorithms, the artificial neural network (ANN) algo-rithms have been applied widely in medicine and a variety of real-world classifications. ANN is a non-linear computational model, that is inspired by the human brain to analyze and process complex datasets. Results: Different methods of ANN that are investigated in this paper indicates in both pattern recognition ANN and LVQ-ANN methods, the predictions of Angiography+ class have high accuracy. Moreover, in CNN the correlations between the individuals in cluster ”c” with the class of Angiography+ is strongly high. This accuracy indicates the significant difference among some of the input features in Angiography+ class and the other two output classes. A comparison among the chosen weights in these three methods in separating control class and Angiography+ shows that hs-CRP, FSG, and WBC are the most substantial excitatory weights in recognizing the Angiography+ individuals although, HDL-C and MCH are determined as inhibitory weights. Furthermore, the effect of decomposition of a multi-class problem to a set of binary classes and random sampling on the accuracy of the diagnostic model is investigated. Conclusion : This study confirms that pattern recognition-ANN had the most accuracy of performance among different methods of ANN. That’s due to the back-propagation procedure of the process in which the network classify input variables based on labeled classes. The results of binarization show that decomposition of the multi-class set to binary sets could achieve higher accuracy.

Bead size and shape are important considerations for industry design and quality detection. It is hard to deduce an appropriate mathematical model for predicting the bead geometry in a continually changing welding process due to the complex interrelationship between different welding parameters and the actual bead. In this paper, an artificial neural network model for predicting the bead geometry with changing welding speed was developed. The experiment was performed by a welding robot in gas metal arc welding process. The welding speed was stochastically changed during the welding process. By transient response tests, it was indicated that the changing welding speed had a spatial influence on bead geometry, which ranged from 10 mm backward to 22 mm forward with certain welding parameters. For this study, the input parameters of model were the spatial welding speed sequence, and the output parameters were bead width and reinforcement. The bead geometry was recognized by polynomial fitting of the profile coordinates, as measured by a structured laser light sensor. The results showed that the model with the structure of 33-6-2 had achieved high accuracy in both the training dataset and test dataset, which were 99% and 96%, respectively.
