Finger joint angle pattern recognition is significant for the development of an intelligent bionic hand. It makes the intelligent prosthesis understand the users intension more accurately and complete movements better. Surface electromyography signals have been widely used in intelligent bionics prosthesis research and rehabilitation medicine due to its advantages like high efficiency, convenient collection and non-invasive access. An improved grid-search method using a support vector machine has been proposed for the finger joint angle pattern recognition issue in surface electromyography signals. Pattern recognition for surface electromyography signals of index finger movement and metacarpophalangeal joint angle has been performed. Better classification performance was achieved through screening of feature vector combined with an improved grid-search support vector machine classification algorithm.

The meteorological reanalysis data has been widely applied to derive zenith tropospheric delay (ZTD) with a high spatial and temporal resolution. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, machine learning also begins as a high-efficiency tool to be employed in modeling and predicting ZTD. In this paper, we develop three new regional ZTD models based on the least squares support vector machine (LSSVM), using both the International GNSS Service (IGS)-ZTD products and European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Reanalysis 5 (ERA5) data over Europe throughout 2018. Among them, the ERA5 data is extended to ERA5S-ZTD and ERA5P-ZTD as the background data by the model method and integral method, respectively. Depending on different background data, three schemes are designed to construct ZTD models based on the LSSVM algorithm, including the without background data, with the ERA5S-ZTD, and with the ERA5P-ZTD. To investigate the advantage and feasibility of the proposed ZTD models, we evaluate the accuracy of two background data and three schemes by segmental comparison with the IGS-ZTD of 85 IGS stations in Europe. The results show that the overall average Root Mean Square Errors (RMSE) value of all sites is 30.1 mm for the ERA5S-ZTD, and 10.7 mm for the ERA5P-ZTD. The overall average RMSE is 25.8 mm, 22.9 mm, and 9 mm for the three schemes, respectively. Moreover, the overall improvement rate is 19.1% and 1.6% for the ZTD model with ERA5S-ZTD and ERA5P-ZTD, respectively. In order to explore the reason of the lower improvement for the ZTD model with ERA5P-ZTD, the loop verification is performed by estimating the ZTD values of each available IGS station. In actuality, the monthly improvement rate of estimated ZTD is positive for most stations, and the biggest improvement rate can even reach about 40%. The negative rate mainly comes from specific stations, these stations are located on the edge of the region, near the coast, as well as the lower similarity between the individual verified station and training stations.

Abstract B-cell epitope will be recognized and attached to the surface of receptors in B-lymphocytes to trigger immune response, thus are the vital elements in the field of epitope-based vaccine design, antibody production and therapeutic development. However, the experimental approaches in mapping epitopes are time consuming and costly. Computational prediction could offer an unbiased preliminary selection to reduce the number of epitopes for experimental validation. The deposited B-cell epitopes in the databases are those with experimentally determined positive/negative peptides and some are ambiguous resulted from different experimental methods. Prior to the development of B-cell epitope prediction module, the available dataset need to be handled with care. In this work, we first pre-processed the B-cell epitope dataset prior to B-cell epitopes prediction based on pattern recognition using support vector machine (SVM). By using only the absolute epitopes and non-epitopes, the datasets were classified into five categories of pathogen and worked on the 6-mers peptide sequences. The pre-processing of the datasets have improved the B-cell epitope prediction performance up to 99.1 % accuracy and showed significant improvement in cross validation results. It could be useful when incorporated with physicochemical propensity ranking in the future for the development of B-cell epitope prediction module.

SVM (Support Vector Machine) is a powerful data mining algorithm, and is mainly used to finish classification or regression tasks. In this literature, SVM is used to conduct disease prediction. We focus on integrating with stratified sample and grid search technology to improve the classification accuracy of SVM, thus, we propose an improved algorithm named SGSVM: Stratified sample and Grid search based SVM. To testify the performance of SGSVM, heart-disease data from UCI are used in our experiment, and the results show SGSVM has obvious improvement in classification accuracy, and this is very valuable especially in disease prediction.

A novel method for recognizing the phases in bicycling of lower limb amputees using support vector machine (SVM) optimized by particle swarm optimization (PSO) is proposed in this paper. The method is essential for enhanced prosthetic knee joint control for lower limb amputees in carrying out bicycling activity. Some wireless wearable accelerometers and a knee joint angle sensor are installed in the prosthesis to obtain data on the knee joint and ankle joint horizontal, vertical acceleration signal and knee joint angle. In order to overcome the problem of high noise content in the collected data, a soft-hard threshold filter was used to remove the noise caused by the vibration. The filtered information is then used to extract the multi-dimensional feature vector for the training of SVM for performing bicycling phase recognition. The SVM is optimized by PSO to enhance its classification accuracy. The recognition accuracy of the PSO-SVM classification model on testing data is 93%, which is much higher than those of BP, SVM and PSO-BP classification models.
