The main objective of this paper is to investigate the effects of replacing missing values of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) that represent gases emitted from human on the accuracy of classifying individual person. These missing values will be replaced with three possibilities, which include 0, 1, and Random number between 0 and 1. The effects of using these predefined values on the classification accuracy are investigated by conducting experiments that involve applying a list of classification methods to classify 15 humans using human odour. Each person is characterized by their own pre-selected 15 gases emitted from their sweats. In this paper, we also study and determine the minimum number of gases that is required to produce acceptable results to correctly classify an individual person based on the gases emitted from their bodies. Based on the results obtained from the conducted experiments, the maximum and minimum allowable numbers of missing gases in human odour samples in reference to human emitted gases are 4 and 3. The best accuracy result when missing values are introduced in the odour dataset is the ensemble Bagged Trees.

It is difficult for many classic classification methods to consider expert experience and classify small-sample datasets well. The evidential reasoning rule (ER rule) classifier can solve these problems. The ER rule has strong processing and comprehensive analysis abilities for diversified mixed information and can solve problems with expert experience effectively. Moreover, the initial parameters of the classifier constructed based on the ER rule can be set according to empirical knowledge instead of being trained by a large number of samples, which can help the classifier classify small-sample datasets well. However, the initial parameters of the ER rule classifier need to be optimized, and choosing the best optimization algorithm is still a challenge. Considering these problems, the ER rule classifier with an optimization operator recommendation is proposed in this paper. First, the initial ER rule classifier is constructed based on training samples and expert experience. Second, the adjustable parameters are optimized, in which the optimization operator recommendation strategy is applied to select the best algorithm by partial samples, and then experiments with full samples are carried out. Finally, a case study on a turbofan engine degradation simulation dataset is carried out, and the results indicate that the ER rule classifier has a higher classification accuracy than other classic classifiers, which demonstrates the capability and effectiveness of the proposed ER rule classifier with an optimization operator recommendation.

AbstractAs a relatively new physiological signal of brain, functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is being used more and more in brain–computer interface field, especially in the task of motor imagery. However, the classification accuracy based on this signal is relatively low. To improve the accuracy of classification, this paper proposes a new experimental paradigm and only uses fNIRS signals to complete the classification task of six subjects. Notably, the experiment is carried out in a non-laboratory environment, and movements of motion imagination are properly designed. And when the subjects are imagining the motions, they are also subvocalizing the movements to prevent distraction. Therefore, according to the motor area theory of the cerebral cortex, the positions of the fNIRS probes have been slightly adjusted compared with other methods. Next, the signals are classified by nine classification methods, and the different features and classification methods are compared. The results show that under this new experimental paradigm, the classification accuracy of 89.12% and 88.47% can be achieved using the support vector machine method and the random forest method, respectively, which shows that the paradigm is effective. Finally, by selecting five channels with the largest variance after empirical mode decomposition of the original signal, similar classification results can be achieved.

Recently, social touch gesture recognition has been considered an important topic for touch modality, which can lead to highly efficient and realistic human-robot interaction. In this paper, a deep convolutional neural network is selected to implement a social touch recognition system for raw input samples (sensor data) only. The touch gesture recognition is performed using a dataset previously measured with numerous subjects that perform varying social gestures. This dataset is dubbed as the corpus of social touch, where touch was performed on a mannequin arm. A leave-one-subject-out cross-validation method is used to evaluate system performance. The proposed method can recognize gestures in nearly real time after acquiring a minimum number of frames (the average range of frame length was from 0.2% to 4.19% from the original frame lengths) with a classification accuracy of 63.7%. The achieved classification accuracy is competitive in terms of the performance of existing algorithms. Furthermore, the proposed system outperforms other classification algorithms in terms of classification ratio and touch recognition time without data preprocessing for the same dataset.

The accurate terrain classification in real time is of great importance to an autonomous robot working in field, because the robot could avoid non-geometric hazards, adjust control scheme, or improve localization accuracy, with the aid of terrain classification. In this paper, we investigate the vibration-based terrain classification (VTC) in a dynamic environment, and propose a novel learning framework, named DyVTC, which tackles online-collected unlabeled data with concept drift. In the DyVTC framework, the exterior disagreement (ex-disagreement) and interior disagreement (in-disagreement) are proposed novely based on the feature diversity and intrinsic temporal correlation, respectively. Such a disagreement mechanism is utilized to design a pseudo-labeling algorithm, which shows its compelling advantages in extracting key samples and labeling; and consequently, the classification accuracy could be retrieved by incremental learning in a changing environment. Since two sets of features are extracted from frequency and time domain to generate disagreements, we also name the proposed method feature-temporal disagreement adaptation (FTDA). The real-world experiment shows that the proposed DyVTC could reach an accuracy of 89.5%, but the traditional time- and frequency-domain terrain classification methods could only reach 48.8% and 71.5%, respectively, in a dynamic environment.

The traditional network traffic classification methods have many shortcomings, the classification accuracy is not high, the encrypted traffic cannot be analyzed, and the computational burden is usually large. To overcome above problems, this paper presents a new network traffic classification method based on optimized Hadamard matrix and ECOC. Through restructuring the Hadamard matrix and erasing the interference rows and columns, the ECOC table is optimized while eliminating SVM sample imbalance, and the error correcting ability for classification is reserved. The experiments results show that the proposed method outperform in network traffic classification and improve the classification accuracy.

We report on tests with a mind typing paradigm based on a P300 brain-computer interface (BCI) on a group of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), middle cerebral artery (MCA) stroke, and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) patients, suffering from motor and speech disabilities. We investigate the achieved typing accuracy given the individual patient's disorder, and how it correlates with the type of classifier used. We considered 7 types of classifiers, linear as well as nonlinear ones, and found that, overall, one type of linear classifier yielded a higher classification accuracy. In addition to the selection of the classifier, we also suggest and discuss a number of recommendations to be considered when building a P300-based typing system for disabled subjects.

Sentiment classification finds various applications in opinion mining, which can help users determine sentiment tendency of texts and information. In this paper, we consider the problem of text orientation analysis. In particular, we propose a two-stage approach by coupling sentiment dictionary and classification methods. In the first stage, we build sentiment dictionary and rules to obtain the texts whose emotional scores are ranked in the top 1/4 and the bottom 1/4. These texts are marked classified for supervising the second stage. In the second stage, we employ the SVM classifier to process the remaining texts. Finally, we combine the two stages to get the orientation analysis results for all the texts. Experimental results demonstrate that, in contrast to using sentiment dictionary and classification method separately, our proposed method achieves higher classification accuracy when an initial training set by manual tagging is unavailable.

Classification is the most important method to determine type of crop contained in a region for agricultural planning. There are two types of the classification. First is pixel based and the other is object based classification method. While pixel based classification methods are based on the information in each pixel, object based classification method is based on objects or image objects that formed by the combination of information from a set of similar pixels. Multispectral image contains a higher degree of spectral resolution than a panchromatic image. Panchromatic image have a higher spatial resolution than a multispectral image. Pan sharpening is a process of merging high spatial resolution panchromatic and high spectral resolution multispectral imagery to create a single high resolution color image. The aim of the study was to compare the potential classification accuracy provided by pan sharpened image. In this study, SPOT 5 image was used dated April 2013. 5m panchromatic image and 10m multispectral image are pan sharpened. Four different classification methods were investigated: maximum likelihood, decision tree, support vector machine at the pixel level and object based classification methods. SPOT 5 pan sharpened image was used to classification sun flowers and corn in a study site located at Kadirli region on Osmaniye in Turkey. The effects of pan sharpened image on classification results were also examined. Accuracy assessment showed that the object based classification resulted in the better overall accuracy values than the others. The results that indicate that these classification methods can be used for identifying sun flower and corn and estimating crop areas.
