Examining the identification of natural images (NI) and computer generated graphics (CG), a novel method is proposed based on hybrid features. Since the image acquisition pipelines are different, some differences exist in statistical, visual, and noise characteristics between natural images and computer generated graphics. Firstly, the mean, variance, kurtosis, skew-ness, and median of the histograms of grayscale image in the spatial and wavelet domain are selected as statistical features. Secondly, the fractal dimensions of grayscale image and wavelet sub-bands are extracted as visual features. Thirdly, considering the shortage of the photo response non-uniformity noise (PRNU) acquired from wavelet based de-noising filter, a pre-processing of Gaussian high pass filter is applied to the image before the extraction of PRNU, and the physical features are calculated from the enhanced PRNU. In the identification, a support vector machine (SVM) classifier is used in experiments and an average classification accuracy of 94.29% is achieved, where the classification accuracy for computer generated graphics is 97.3% and for natural images is 91.28%. Analysis and discussion show that the method is suitable for the identification of natural images and computer generated graphics and can achieve better identification accuracy than the existing methods with fewer dimensions of features.

In Microarray Data, it is complicated to achieve more classification accuracy due to the presence of high dimensions, irrelevant and noisy data. And also It had more gene expression data and fewer samples. To increase the classification accuracy and the processing speed of the model, an optimal number of features need to extract, this can be achieved by applying the feature selection method. In this paper, we propose a hybrid ensemble feature selection method. The proposed method has two phases, filter and wrapper phase in filter phase ensemble technique is used for aggregating the feature ranks of the Relief, minimum redundancy Maximum Relevance (mRMR), and Feature Correlation (FC) filter feature selection methods. This paper uses the Fuzzy Gaussian membership function ordering for aggregating the ranks. In wrapper phase, Improved Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (IBPSO) is used for selecting the optimal features, and the RBF Kernel-based Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is used as an evaluator. The performance of the proposed model are compared with state of art feature selection methods using five benchmark datasets. For evaluation various performance metrics such as Accuracy, Recall, Precision, and F1-Score are used. Furthermore, the experimental results show that the performance of the proposed method outperforms the other feature selection methods.

AbstractBrain computer interface (BCI) systems have been regarded as a new way of communication for humans. In this research, common methods such as wavelet transform are applied in order to extract features. However, genetic algorithm (GA), as an evolutionary method, is used to select features. Finally, classification was done using the two approaches support vector machine (SVM) and Bayesian method. Five features were selected and the accuracy of Bayesian classification was measured to be 80% with dimension reduction. Ultimately, the classification accuracy reached 90.4% using SVM classifier. The results of the study indicate a better feature selection and the effective dimension reduction of these features, as well as a higher percentage of classification accuracy in comparison with other studies.

A feature selection method based on mutual information and support vector machine (SVM) is proposed in order to eliminate redundant feature and improve classification accuracy. First, local correlation between features and overall correlation is calculated by mutual information. The correlation reflects the information inclusion relationship between features, so the features are evaluated and redundant features are eliminated with analyzing the correlation. Subsequently, the concept of mean impact value (MIV) is defined and the influence degree of input variables on output variables for SVM network based on MIV is calculated. The importance weights of the features described with MIV are sorted by descending order. Finally, the SVM classifier is used to implement feature selection according to the classification accuracy of feature combination which takes MIV order of feature as a reference. The simulation experiments are carried out with three standard data sets of UCI, and the results show that this method can not only effectively reduce the feature dimension and high classification accuracy, but also ensure good robustness.

Support Vector Machines (SVM) is a set of popular machine learning algorithms which have been successfully applied in diverse aspects, but for large training data sets the processing time and computational costs are prohibitive. This paper presents a novel fast training method for SVM, which is applied in the fault diagnosis of service robot. Firstly, sensor data are sampled under different running conditions of the robot and those samples are divided as training sets and testing sets. Secondly, the sampled data are preprocessed and the principal component analysis (PCA) model is established for fault feature extraction. Thirdly, the feature vectors are used to train the SVM classifier, which achieves the fault diagnosis of the robot. To speed up the training process of SVM, on the one hand, sample reduction is done using the proposed support vectors selection (SVS) algorithm, which can ensure good classification accuracy and generalization capability. On the other hand, we take advantage of the excellent parallel computing abilities of Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) to pre-calculate the kernel matrix, which avoids the recalculation during the cross validation process. Experimental results illustrate that the proposed method can significantly reduce the training time without decreasing the classification accuracy.

Abstract In this work, PD patients and healthy individuals were categorized with machine-learning algorithms. EEG signals associated with six different emotions, (Happiness(E1), Sadness(E2), Fear(E3), Anger(E4), Surprise,(E5) and disgust(E6)) were used for the study. EEG data were collected from 20 PD patients and 20 normal controls using multimodal stimuli. Different features were used to categorize emotional data. Emotional recognition in Parkinson’s disease (PD) has been investigated in three domains namely, time, frequency and time frequency using Entropy, Energy-Entropy and Teager Energy-Entropy features. Three classifiers namely, K-Nearest Neighbor Algorithm, Support Vector Machine and Probabilistic Neural Network were used to observethe classification results. Emotional EEG stimuli such as anger, surprise, happiness, sadness, fear, and disgust were used to categorize PD patients and healthy controls (HC). For each EEG signal, frequency features corresponding to alpha, beta and gamma bands were obtained for nine feature extraction methods (Entropy, Energy Entropy, Teager Energy Entropy, Spectral Entropy, Spectral Energy-Entropy, Spectral Teager Energy-Entropy, STFT Entropy, STFT Energy-Entropy and STFT Teager Energy-Entropy). From the analysis, it is observed that the entropy feature in frequency domain performs evenly well (above 80 %) for all six emotions with KNN. Classification results shows that using the selected energy entropy combination feature in frequency domain provides highest accuracy for all emotions except E1 and E2 for KNN and SVM classifier, whereas other features give accuracy values of above 60% for most emotions.It is also observed that emotion E1 gives above 90 % classification accuracy for all classifiers in time domain.In frequency domain also, emotion E1 gives above 90% classification accuracy using PNN classifier.

Abstract Human affect recognition (HAR) using images of facial expression and electrocardiogram (ECG) signal plays an important role in predicting human intention. This system improves the performance of the system in applications like the security system, learning technologies and health care systems. The primary goal of our work is to recognize individual affect states automatically using the multilayered binary structured support vector machine (MBSVM), which efficiently classify the input into one of the four affect classes, relax, happy, sad and angry. The classification is performed efficiently by designing an efficient support vector machine (SVM) classifier in multilayer mode operation. The classifier is trained using the 8-fold cross-validation method, which improves the learning of the classifier, thus increasing its efficiency. The classification and recognition accuracy is enhanced and also overcomes the drawback of ‘facial mimicry’ by using hybrid features that are extracted from both facial images (visual elements) and physiological signal ECG (signal features). The reliability of the input database is improved by acquiring the face images and ECG signals experimentally and by inducing emotions through image stimuli. The performance of the affect recognition system is evaluated using the confusion matrix, obtaining the classification accuracy of 96.88%.

This article reports the results of the study related to emotion recognition by using eye-tracking. Emotions were evoked by presenting a dynamic movie material in the form of 21 video fragments. Eye-tracking signals recorded from 30 participants were used to calculate 18 features associated with eye movements (fixations and saccades) and pupil diameter. To ensure that the features were related to emotions, we investigated the influence of luminance and the dynamics of the presented movies. Three classes of emotions were considered: high arousal and low valence, low arousal and moderate valence, and high arousal and high valence. A maximum of 80% classification accuracy was obtained using the support vector machine (SVM) classifier and leave-one-subject-out validation method.

In this paper, we will propose a novel classification method of high-resolution SAR using local autocorrelation and Support Vector Machines (SVM) classifier. The commonly applied spatial autocorrelation indexes, called Moran's Index; Geary's Index, Getis's Index, will be used to depict the feature of the land-cover. Then, the SVM based on these indexes will be applied as the high-resolution SAR classifier. A Cosmo-SkyMed scene in ChengDu city, China is used for our experiment. It is shown that the method proposed can lead to good classification accuracy.

The extensive applications of support vector machines (SVMs) require efficient method of constructing a SVM classifier with high classification ability. The performance of SVM crucially depends on whether optimal feature subset and parameter of SVM can be efficiently obtained. In this paper, a coarse-grained parallel genetic algorithm (CGPGA) is used to simultaneously optimize the feature subset and parameters for SVM. The distributed topology and migration policy of CGPGA can help find optimal feature subset and parameters for SVM in significantly shorter time, so as to increase the quality of solution found. In addition, a new fitness function, which combines the classification accuracy obtained from bootstrap method, the number of chosen features, and the number of support vectors, is proposed to lead the search of CGPGA to the direction of optimal generalization error. Experiment results on 12 benchmark datasets show that our proposed approach outperforms genetic algorithm (GA) based method and grid search method in terms of classification accuracy, number of chosen features, number of support vectors, and running time.
