Persian handwritten digit recognition is one of the important topics of image processing which significantly considered by researchers due to its many applications. The most important challenges in Persian handwritten digit recognition is the existence of various patterns in Persian digit writing that makes the feature extraction step to be more complicated.Since the handcraft feature extraction methods are complicated processes and their performance level are not stable, most of the recent studies have concentrated on proposing a suitable method for automatic feature extraction. In this paper, an automatic method based on machine learning is proposed for high-level feature extraction from Persian digit images by using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). After that, a non-linear multi-class Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is used for data classification instead of fully connected layer in final layer of CNN. The proposed method has been applied to HODA dataset and obtained 99.56% of recognition rate. Experimental results are comparable with previous state-of-the-art methods

Neonatal infants communicate with us through cries. The infant cry signals have distinct patterns depending on the purpose of the cries. Preprocessing, feature extraction, and feature selection need expert attention and take much effort in audio signals in recent days. In deep learning techniques, it automatically extracts and selects the most important features. For this, it requires an enormous amount of data for effective classification. This work mainly discriminates the neonatal cries into pain, hunger, and sleepiness. The neonatal cry auditory signals are transformed into a spectrogram image by utilizing the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) technique. The deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) technique takes the spectrogram images for input. The features are obtained from the convolutional neural network and are passed to the support vector machine (SVM) classifier. Machine learning technique classifies neonatal cries. This work combines the advantages of machine learning and deep learning techniques to get the best results even with a moderate number of data samples. The experimental result shows that CNN-based feature extraction and SVM classifier provides promising results. While comparing the SVM-based kernel techniques, namely radial basis function (RBF), linear and polynomial, it is found that SVM-RBF provides the highest accuracy of kernel-based infant cry classification system provides 88.89% accuracy.

: Automatic licence plate recognition systems are used for various applications such as traffic monitoring, toll collection, car parking, law enforcement. In this paper, a convolutional neural network and support vector machine based automatic licence plate recognition system is proposed. Firstly, The characters extracts from the input image of vehicle. Then characters are segment and their features are extracts. The extracted features are classified using convolutional neural network and support vector machine for the final recognition of the licence plate. The obtained recognition rate by the hybridization of the convolutional neural network and the support vector machine is 96.5%. The recognition rate obtained for the proposed hybrid automatic licence plate system are compared with three other automatic licence plate systems based on neural network, support vector machine, and convolutional neural network. The proposed automatic licence plate recognition system perform better than the neural network, support vector machine, and convolutional nerural network based automatic licence plate recognition systems.

Conventional methods of medical text data classification, neglect of context among different words and semantic information, has a poor text description, classification effect and generalization capability and robustness. To tackle the inefficiencies and low precision in the classification of medical text data, in this paper, we presented a new classification method with improved convolutional neural network (CNN) and support vector machine (SVM), i.e., CNN-SVM method. In the method, some convolution kernel filters that contribute greatly to the CNN model are first selected by the average response energy (ARE) value, and then used to simplify and reconstruct the CNN model. Next, the SVM classifier was optimized by firefly algorithm (FA) and context information to overcome the disadvantages of over-saturation and over-training in SVM classification. Finally, the presented CNN-SVM method is tested by the simulation experiment and the true classification of medical text data. The experimental results show that the presented CNN-SVM method in this paper can significantly reduce the complexity and amount of computation compared to the conventional methods, and further promote the computational efficiency and classification accuracy of medical text data.
