The present aim was to compare the accuracy of several algorithms in classifying data collected from food scent samples. Measurements using an electronic nose (eNose) can be used for classification of different scents. An eNose was used to measure scent samples from seven food scent sources, both from an open plate and a sealed jar. The k-Nearest Neighbour (k-NN) classifier provides reasonable accuracy under certain conditions and uses traditionally the Euclidean distance for measuring the similarity of samples. Therefore, it was used as a baseline distance metric for the k-NN in this paper. Its classification accuracy was compared with the accuracies of the k-NN with 66 alternative distance metrics. In addition, 18 other classifiers were tested with raw eNose data. For each classifier various parameter settings were tried and compared. Overall, 304 different classifier variations were tested, which differed from each other in at least one parameter value. The results showed that Quadratic Discriminant Analysis, MLPClassifier, C-Support Vector Classification (SVC), and several different single hidden layer Neural Networks yielded lower misclassification rates applied to the raw data than k-NN with Euclidean distance. Both MLP Classifiers and SVC yielded misclassification rates of less than 3% when applied to raw data. Furthermore, when applied both to the raw data and the data preprocessed by principal component analysis that explained at least 95% or 99% of the total variance in the raw data, Quadratic Discriminant Analysis outperformed the other classifiers. The findings of this study can be used for further algorithm development. They can also be used, for example, to improve the estimation of storage times of fruit.

The feasibility of rapid and non-destructive classification of five different tomato seed cultivars was investigated by using visible and short-wave near infrared (Vis-NIR) spectra combined with chemometric approaches. Vis-NIR spectra containing 19 different wavelengths ranging from 375 nm to 970 nm were extracted from multispectral images of tomato seeds. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used for data exploration, while partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and support vector machine discriminant analysis (SVM-DA) were used to classify the five different tomato cultivars. The results showed very good classification accuracy for two independent test sets ranging from 94% to 100% for all tomato cultivars irrespective of chemometric methods. The overall classification error rates were 3.2% and 0.4% for the PLS-DA and SVM-DA calibration models, respectively. The results indicate that Vis-NIR spectra have the potential to be used for non-destructive discrimination of tomato seed cultivars with an opportunity to integrate them into plant genetic resource management, plant variety protection or registration programmes.

Abstract. In this study, computer vision was used for the identification and classification of fungi on moldy paddy. To develop a rapid and efficient method for the classification of common fungal species found in stored paddy, computer vision was used to acquire images of individual colonies of growing fungi for three consecutive days. After image processing, the color, shape, and texture features were acquired and used in a subsequent discriminant analysis. Both linear (i.e., linear discriminant analysis and partial least squares discriminant analysis) and nonlinear (i.e., random forest and support vector machine [SVM]) pattern recognition models were employed for the classification of fungal colonies, and the results were compared. The results indicate that when using all of the features for three consecutive days, the performance of the nonlinear tools was superior to that of the linear tools, especially in the case of the SVM models, which achieved an accuracy of 100% on the calibration sets and an accuracy of 93.2% to 97.6% on the prediction sets. After sequential selection of projection algorithm, ten common features were selected for building the classification models. The results showed that the SVM model achieved an overall accuracy of 95.6%, 98.3%, and 99.0% on the prediction sets on days 2, 3, and 4, respectively. This work demonstrated that computer vision with several features is suitable for the identification and classification of fungi on moldy paddy based on the form of the individual colonies at an early growth stage during paddy storage. Keywords: Classification, Computer vision, Fungal colony, Feature selection, SVM.

Data mining techniques are included with Ensemble learning and deep learning for the classification. The methods used for classification are, Single C5.0 Tree (C5.0), Classification and Regression Tree (CART), kernel-based Support Vector Machine (SVM) with linear kernel, ensemble (CART, SVM, C5.0), Neural Network-based Fit single-hidden-layer neural network (NN), Neural Networks with Principal Component Analysis (PCA-NN), deep learning-based H2OBinomialModel-Deeplearning (HBM-DNN) and Enhanced H2OBinomialModel-Deeplearning (EHBM-DNN). In this study, experiments were conducted on pre-processed datasets using R programming and 10-fold cross-validation technique. The findings show that the ensemble model (CART, SVM and C5.0) and EHBM-DNN are more accurate for classification, compared with other methods.

Tremor is an involuntary quivering movement or shake. Characteristically occurring at rest, the classic slow, rhythmic tremor of Parkinson's disease (PD) typically starts in one hand, foot, or leg and can eventually affect both sides of the body. The resting tremor of PD can also occur in the jaw, chin, mouth, or tongue. Loss of dopamine leads to the symptoms of Parkinson's disease and may include a tremor. For some people, a tremor might be the first symptom of PD. Various studies have proposed measurable technologies and the analysis of the characteristics of Parkinsonian tremors using different techniques. Various machine-learning algorithms such as a support vector machine (SVM) with three kernels, a discriminant analysis, a random forest, and a kNN algorithm are also used to classify and identify various kinds of tremors. This chapter focuses on an in-depth review on identification and classification of various Parkinsonian tremors using machine learning algorithms.

Applications of Fourier transform near infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopy in fisheries science are currently limited. This current analysis of otolith spectral data demonstrate the potential applicability of FT-NIR spectroscopy to otolith chemistry and spatial variability in fisheries science. The objective of this study was to examine the use of NIR spectroscopy as a tool to differentiate among marine fishes in four large marine ecosystems. We examined otoliths from 13 different species, with three of these species coming from different regions. Principal component analysis described the main directions along which the specimens were separated. The separation of species and their ecosystems may suggest interactions between fish phylogeny, ontogeny, and environmental conditions that can be evaluated using NIR spectroscopy. In order to discriminate spectra across ecosystems and species, four supervised classification model techniques were utilized: soft independent modelling of class analogies, support vector machine discriminant analysis, partial least squares discriminant analysis, and k-nearest neighbor analysis (KNN). This study showed that the best performing model to classify combined ecosystems, all four ecosystems, and species was the KNN model, which had an overall accuracy rate of 99.9%, 97.6%, and 91.5%, respectively. Results from this study suggest that further investigations are needed to determine applications of NIR spectroscopy to otolith chemistry and spatial variability.

The development of a simple HPLC-UV method towards the evaluation of Spanish paprika’s phenolic profile and their discrimination based on the former is reported herein. The approach is based on C18 reversed-phase chromatography to generate characteristic fingerprints, in combination with linear discriminant analysis (LDA) to achieve their classification. To this aim, chromatographic conditions were optimized so as to achieve the separation of major phenolic compounds already identified in paprika. Paprika samples were subjected to a sample extraction stage by sonication and centrifugation; extracting procedure and conditions were optimized to maximize the generation of enough discriminant fingerprints. Finally, chromatograms were baseline corrected, compressed employing fast Fourier transform (FFT), and then analyzed by means of principal component analysis (PCA) and LDA to carry out the classification of paprika samples. Under the developed procedure, a total of 96 paprika samples were analyzed, achieving a classification rate of 100% for the test subset (n = 25).
