One of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) form is sleep apnea, commonly known as snoring during sleep, based on various complex mechanisms and predisposing factors. Sleep apnea is also related to various medical problems. It impacts morbidity and mortality so that it becomes a burden on public health services. Its detection needs to be done correctly through electrocardiogram signals to detect sleep apnea more quickly and precisely. This study was conducted to detect sleep apnea based on electrocardiogram signals using multi-scale entropy analysis. Multi-scale entropy (MSE) is used in a finite length of time series for measuring the complexity of the signal. MSE can be applied to both physical and physiological data sets and. In this paper we used MSE to detect Sleep Apnea on electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. MSE was applied two classes of ECG data, normal ECG signals, and apnea ECG signals. In this paper, classification and verification were carried out using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) and N-fold cross-validation (N-fold CV). From the experimental results, the highest accuracy was 85.6% using 5-fold CV and MSE scale of 10. The result shows that the system model that can detect sleep using the multi-scale entropy method

Sleep apnea (SA) is a common sleep disorders affecting the sleep quality. Therefore the automatic SA detection has far-reaching implications for patients and physicians. In this paper, a novel approach is developed based on deep neural network (DNN) for automatic diagnosis SA. To this end, five features are extracted from electrocardiogram (ECG) signals through wavelet decomposition and sample entropy. The deep neural network is constructed by two-layer stacked sparse autoencoder (SSAE) network and one softmax layer. The softmax layer is added at the top of the SSAE network for diagnosing SA. Afterwards, the SSAE network can get more effective high-level features from raw features. The experimental results reveal that the performance of deep neural network can accomplish an accuracy of 96.66%, a sensitivity of 96.25%, and a specificity of 97%. In addition, the performance of deep neural network outperforms the comparison models including support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), and extreme learning machine (ELM). Finally, the experimental results reveal that the proposed method can be valid applied to automatic SA event detection.

The recognition of partial discharge mode is an important indicator of the insulation condition in transformers, based on which maintenance can be arranged. Discharge feature extraction is the key to recognize discharge mode. To solve the problem of poor stability and low recognition rate of partial discharge mode, this paper proposes a feature extraction method based on synchrosqueezed windowed Fourier transform and multi-scale dispersion entropy. First, the four partial discharge signals collected under laboratory conditions are decomposed by synchrosqueezed windowed Fourier transform, then a number of band-limited intrinsic mode type functions are obtained, and the original feature quantities of partial discharge signals are obtained by calculating the multi-scale dispersion entropies of each intrinsic mode type function. Based on that, original feature quantity is optimized by using the maximum relevance and minimum redundancy criteria. Finally, the classification is implemented by the support vector machine. Experimental results show that in the case of noise interference, the proposed synchrosqueezed windowed Fourier transform–multi-scale dispersion entropy method can still accurately describe the feature of different discharge signals and has a higher recognition rate than both the empirical mode decomposition–multi-scale dispersion entropy method and the direct multi-scale dispersion entropy method.

Due to the maturing of digital image processing techniques, there are many tools that can forge an image easily without leaving visible traces and lead to the problem of the authentication of digital images. Based on the assumption that forgery alters the texture micro-patterns in a digital image and texture descriptors can be used for modeling this change; we employed two stat-of-the-art local texture descriptors: multi-scale Weber's law descriptor (multi-WLD) and multi-scale local binary pattern (multi-LBP) for splicing and copy-move forgery detection. As the tamper traces are not visible to open eyes, so the chrominance components of an image encode these traces and were used for modeling tamper traces with the texture descriptors. To reduce the dimension of the feature space and get rid of redundant features, we employed locally learning based (LLB) algorithm. For identifying an image as authentic or tampered, Support vector machine (SVM) was used. This paper presents the thorough investigation for the validation of this forgery detection method. The experiments were conducted on three benchmark image data sets, namely, CASIA v1.0, CASIA v2.0, and Columbia color. The experimental results showed that the accuracy rate of multi-WLD based method was 94.19% on CASIA v1.0, 96.52% on CASIA v2.0, and 94.17% on Columbia data set. It is not only significantly better than multi-LBP based method, but also it outperforms other stat-of-the-art similar forgery detection methods.


For classifying the hyperspectral image (HSI), convolution neural networks are used widely as it gives high performance and better results. For stronger prediction this paper presents new structure that benefit from both MS - MA BT (multi-scale multi-angle breaking ties) and CNN algorithm. We build a new MS - MA BT and CNN architecture. It obtains multiple characteristics from the raw image as an input. This algorithm generates relevant feature maps which are fed into concatenating layer to form combined feature map. The obtained mixed feature map is then placed into the subsequent stages to estimate the final results for each hyperspectral pixel. Not only does the suggested technique benefit from improved extraction of characteristics from CNNs and MS-MA BT, but it also allows complete combined use of visual and temporal data. The performance of the suggested technique is evaluated using SAR data sets, and the results indicate that the MS-MA BT-based multi-functional training algorithm considerably increases identification precision. Recently, convolution neural networks have proved outstanding efficiency on multiple visual activities, including the ranking of common two-dimensional pictures. In this paper, the MS-MA BT multi-scale multi-angle CNN algorithm is used to identify hyperspectral images explicitly in the visual domain. Experimental outcomes based on several SAR image data sets show that the suggested technique can attain greater classification efficiency than some traditional techniques, such as support vector machines and conventional deep learning techniques.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals represent a useful information source about the rhythm and the functioning of the heart. Any disturbance in the heart's normal rhythmic contraction is called an arrhythmia. Analysis of Electrocardiogram signals is the most effective available method for diagnosing cardiac arrhythmias. Computer based classification of ECG provides higher accuracy and offer a potential of an affordable cardiac abnormality mass screening. The empirical mode decomposition is performed on various arrhythmia signals and different levels of intrinsic mode functions (IMF) are obtained. Singular value decomposition (SVD) is used to extract features from the IMF and classification is performed using support vector machine. This method is more efficient for classification of ECG signals and at the same time provides good generalization properties.

In recent years, the number of cardiac disease patients has been increasing. Modern medical research has shown that the complexity of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals is related to cardiovascular diseases. This paper investigates the difference in complexity of ECG data from the people with different cardiovascular diseases, such as atrial fibrillation (AF), ventricular arrhythmia (VA) and congestive heart failure (CHF). The empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and multiscale entropy method are used to analyze the ECG data, and a mathematical model established by a support vector machine is used to identify different diseases. The accuracy recognition rate of the AF recognition is 96.25%, and that of the CHF and VA reach 90.26% and 92.20%, respectively. The experimental results show that the recognition method proposed in this paper is successful.

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a joint disease that leads to a high disability rate and a low quality of life. With the development of modern molecular biology techniques, some key genes and diagnostic markers have been reported. However, the etiology and pathogenesis of OA are still unknown. Objective: To develop a gene signature in OA. Method: In this study, five microarray data sets were integrated to conduct a comprehensive network and pathway analysis of the biological functions of OA related genes, which can provide valuable information and further explore the etiology and pathogenesis of OA. Results and Discussion: Differential expression analysis identified 180 genes with significantly expressed expression in OA. Functional enrichment analysis showed that the up-regulated genes were associated with rheumatoid arthritis (p < 0.01). Down-regulated genes regulate the biological processes of negative regulation of kinase activity and some signaling pathways such as MAPK signaling pathway (p < 0.001) and IL-17 signaling pathway (p < 0.001). In addition, the OA specific protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed based on the differentially expressed genes. The analysis of network topological attributes showed that differentially upregulated VEGFA, MYC, ATF3 and JUN genes were hub genes of the network, which may influence the occurrence and development of OA through regulating cell cycle or apoptosis, and were potential biomarkers of OA. Finally, the support vector machine (SVM) method was used to establish the diagnosis model of OA, which not only had excellent predictive power in internal and external data sets (AUC > 0.9), but also had high predictive performance in different chip platforms (AUC > 0.9) and also had effective ability in blood samples (AUC > 0.8). Conclusion: The 4-genes diagnostic model may be of great help to the early diagnosis and prediction of OA.

Abstract Introduction Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep-related breathing disorder with an estimation of one billion people. Full-night polysomnography is considered the gold standard for OSA diagnosis. However, it is time-consuming, expensive and is not readily available in many parts of the world. Many screening questionnaires and scores have been proposed for OSA prediction with high sensitivity and low specificity. The present study is intended to develop models with various machine learning techniques to predict the severity of OSA by incorporating features from multiple questionnaires. Methods Subjects who underwent full-night polysomnography in Torr sleep center, Texas and completed 5 OSA screening questionnaires/scores were included. OSA was diagnosed by using Apnea-Hypopnea Index ≥ 5. We trained five different machine learning models including Deep Neural Networks with the scaled principal component analysis (DNN-PCA), Random Forest (RF), Adaptive Boosting classifier (ABC), and K-Nearest Neighbors classifier (KNC) and Support Vector Machine Classifier (SVMC). Training:Testing subject ratio of 65:35 was used. All features including demographic data, body measurement, snoring and sleepiness history were obtained from 5 OSA screening questionnaires/scores (STOP-BANG questionnaires, Berlin questionnaires, NoSAS score, NAMES score and No-Apnea score). Performance parametrics were used to compare between machine learning models. Results Of 180 subjects, 51.5 % of subjects were male with mean (SD) age of 53.6 (15.1). One hundred and nineteen subjects were diagnosed with OSA. Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (AUROC) of DNN-PCA, RF, ABC, KNC, SVMC, STOP-BANG questionnaire, Berlin questionnaire, NoSAS score, NAMES score, and No-Apnea score were 0.85, 0.68, 0.52, 0.74, 0.75, 0.61, 0.63, 0,61, 0.58 and 0,58 respectively. DNN-PCA showed the highest AUROC with sensitivity of 0.79, specificity of 0.67, positive-predictivity of 0.93, F1 score of 0.86, and accuracy of 0.77. Conclusion Our result showed that DNN-PCA outperforms OSA screening questionnaires, scores and other machine learning models. Support (if any):

Recently, the interest in biometric authentication based on electrocardiograms (ECGs) has increased. Nevertheless, the ECG signal of a person may vary according to factors such as the emotional or physical state, thus hindering authentication. We propose an adaptive ECG-based authentication method that performs incremental learning to identify ECG signals from a subject under a variety of measurement conditions. An incremental support vector machine (SVM) is adopted for authentication implementing incremental learning. We collected ECG signals from 11 subjects during 10 min over six days and used the data from days 1 to 5 for incremental learning, and those from day 6 for testing. The authentication results show that the proposed system consistently reduces the false acceptance rate from 6.49% to 4.39% and increases the true acceptance rate from 61.32% to 87.61% per single ECG wave after incremental learning using data from the five days. In addition, the authentication results tested using data obtained a day after the latest training show the false acceptance rate being within reliable range (3.5–5.33%) and improvement of the true acceptance rate (70.05–87.61%) over five days.
