Affective bio-feedback can be an important instrument to enhance the game experience. Several studies have provided evidence of the usefulness of physiological signals for affective gaming; however, due to the limited knowledge about the distinctive autonomic signatures for every emotion, the pattern matching models employed are limited in the number of emotions they are able to classify. This paper presents a bio-affective gaming interface (BAGI) that can be used to customize a game experience according to the player’s emotional response. Its architecture offers important characteristics for gaming that are important because they make possible the reusability of previous findings and the inclusion of new models to the system. In order to prove the effectiveness of BAGI, two different types of neural networks have been trained to recognize emotions. They were incorporated into the system to customize, in real-time, the computer wallpaper according to the emotion experienced by the user. Best results were obtained with a probabilistic neural network with accuracy results of 84.46% on the training data and 78.38% on the validation for new independent data sets.

Rock burst is one of main engineering geological problems significantly threatening the safety of construction. Prediction of rock burst is always an important issue concerning the safety of workers and equipment in tunnels. In this paper, a novel PNN-based rock burst prediction model is proposed to determine whether rock burst will happen in the underground rock projects and how much the intensity of rock burst is. The probabilistic neural network (PNN) is developed based on Bayesian criteria of multivariate pattern classification. Because PNN has the advantages of low training complexity, high stability, quick convergence, and simple construction, it can be well applied in the prediction of rock burst. Some main control factors, such as rocks’ maximum tangential stress, rocks’ uniaxial compressive strength, rocks’ uniaxial tensile strength, and elastic energy index of rock are chosen as the characteristic vector of PNN. PNN model is obtained through training data sets of rock burst samples which come from underground rock project in domestic and abroad. Other samples are tested with the model. The testing results agree with the practical records. At the same time, two real-world applications are used to verify the proposed method. The results of prediction are same as the results of existing methods, just same as what happened in the scene, which verifies the effectiveness and applicability of our proposed work.

Abstract This article presents the study regarding the problem of dimensionality reduction in training data sets used for classification tasks performed by the probabilistic neural network (PNN). Two methods for this purpose are proposed. The first solution is based on the feature selection approach where a single decision tree and a random forest algorithm are adopted to select data features. The second solution relies on applying the feature extraction procedure which utilizes the principal component analysis algorithm. Depending on the form of the smoothing parameter, different types of PNN models are explored. The prediction ability of PNNs trained on original and reduced data sets is determined with the use of a 10-fold cross validation procedure.

Abstract. Primary biological aerosol including bacteria, fungal spores and pollen have important implications for public health and the environment. Such particles may have different concentrations of chemical fluorophores and will provide different responses in the presence of ultraviolet light which potentially could be used to discriminate between different types of biological aerosol. Development of ultraviolet light induced fluorescence (UV-LIF) instruments such as the Wideband Integrated Bioaerosol Sensor (WIBS) has made is possible to collect size, morphology and fluorescence measurements in real-time. However, it is unclear without studying responses from the instrument in the laboratory, the extent to which we can discriminate between different types of particles. Collection of laboratory data is vital to validate any approach used to analyse the data and to ensure that the data available is utilised as effectively as possible. In this manuscript we test a variety of methodologies on traditional reference particles and a range of laboratory generated aerosols. Hierarchical Agglomerative Clustering (HAC) has been previously applied to UV-LIF data in a number of studies and is tested alongside other algorithms that could be used to solve the classification problem: Density Based Spectral Clustering and Noise (DBSCAN), k-means and gradient boosting. Whilst HAC was able to effectively discriminate between the reference particles, yielding a classification error of only 1.8 %, similar results were not obtained when testing on laboratory generated aerosol where the classification error was found to be between 11.5 % and 24.2 %. Furthermore, there is a worryingly large uncertainty in this approach in terms of the data preparation and the cluster index used, and we were unable attain consistent results across the different sets of laboratory generated aerosol tested. The best results were obtained using gradient boosting, where the misclassification rate was between 4.38 % and 5.42 %. The largest contribution to this error was the pollen samples where 28.5 % of the samples were misclassified as fungal spores. The technique was also robust to changes in data preparation provided a fluorescent threshold was applied to the data. Where laboratory training data is unavailable, DBSCAN was found to be an potential alternative to HAC. In the case of one of the data sets where 22.9 % of the data was left unclassified we were able to produce three distinct clusters obtaining a classification error of only 1.42 % on the classified data. These results could not be replicated however for the other data set where 26.8 % of the data was not classified and a classification error of 13.8 % was obtained. This method, like HAC, also appeared to be heavily dependent on data preparation, requiring different selection of parameters dependent on the preparation used. Further analysis will also be required to confirm our selection of parameters when using this method on ambient data. There is a clear need for the collection of additional laboratory generated aerosol to improve interpretation of current databases and to aid in the analysis of data collected from an ambient environment. New instruments with a greater resolution are likely improve on current discrimination between pollen, bacteria and fungal spores and even between their different types, however the need for extensive laboratory training data sets will grow as a result.

The Relationship

**The uploaded manuscript is still in preparation** In this study, we tested the relationship between visual arrays tasks and working memory capacity and attention control. Specifically, we tested whether task design (selection or non-selection demands) impacted the relationship between visual arrays measures and constructs of working memory capacity and attention control. Using analyses from 4 independent data sets we showed that the degree to which visual arrays measures rely on selection influences the degree to which they reflect domain-general attention control.

Label Correlation

In multi-label learning, label correlations commonly exist in the data. Such correlation not only provides useful information, but also imposes significant challenges for multi-label learning. Recently, label-specific feature embedding has been proposed to explore label-specific features from the training data, and uses feature highly customized to the multi-label set for learning. While such feature embedding methods have demonstrated good performance, the creation of the feature embedding space is only based on a single label, without considering label correlations in the data. In this article, we propose to combine multiple label-specific feature spaces, using label correlation, for multi-label learning. The proposed algorithm, mu lti- l abel-specific f eature space e nsemble (MULFE), takes consideration label-specific features, label correlation, and weighted ensemble principle to form a learning framework. By conducting clustering analysis on each label’s negative and positive instances, MULFE first creates features customized to each label. After that, MULFE utilizes the label correlation to optimize the margin distribution of the base classifiers which are induced by the related label-specific feature spaces. By combining multiple label-specific features, label correlation based weighting, and ensemble learning, MULFE achieves maximum margin multi-label classification goal through the underlying optimization framework. Empirical studies on 10 public data sets manifest the effectiveness of MULFE.

Siamese Networks

Traditionally, classifiers are trained to predict patterns within a feature space. The image classification system presented here trains classifiers to predict patterns within a vector space by combining the dissimilarity spaces generated by a large set of Siamese Neural Networks (SNNs). A set of centroids from the patterns in the training data sets is calculated with supervised k-means clustering. The centroids are used to generate the dissimilarity space via the Siamese networks. The vector space descriptors are extracted by projecting patterns onto the similarity spaces, and SVMs classify an image by its dissimilarity vector. The versatility of the proposed approach in image classification is demonstrated by evaluating the system on different types of images across two domains: two medical data sets and two animal audio data sets with vocalizations represented as images (spectrograms). Results show that the proposed system’s performance competes competitively against the best-performing methods in the literature, obtaining state-of-the-art performance on one of the medical data sets, and does so without ad-hoc optimization of the clustering methods on the tested data sets.
