ECG signal contains abundant information of human heart activity. It is important basis of doctors’ diagnose. With the development of computer technology, computer aided analysis has been widely applied in the field of ECG analysis. Most of the traditional method is based on single classifier and too complex. Also, the accuracy is not high. This paper focuses on ECG heart beat classification, extracting different types of feature, training different classifiers by vector model and support vector machine (SVM), merging the result of multiple classifiers. In this paper, we used the advanced voting method (voting by weight) to fusion the result of different classifier, having compared it with the traditional voting method.It performed better than traditional method in term of accuracy

A method for automatic classification of Arrhythmias from Electrocardiogram based on features generated from a new Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) is presented in this paper. The classification performance was studied using the most commonly available database, the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. The new wavelet for classification was evolved using Genetic Algorithm (GA). The optimum wavelet for classification was obtained after several runs of the GA algorithm. The class labeling was followed according to the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI). The wavelet scales corresponding to the different frequency levels giving maximum classification performance was identified. Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) classifier was used for classification. The proposed classification system offered an overall sensitivity of 97% for Normal beats (N), 75% for Supraventricular beats (Sv) and 93% for Ventricular beats (V) which is better than existing results reported in literature. This technique could exclusively identify some of the isolated abnormalities compared to other results reported.

This paper proposes a method for detecting non-line-of-sight (NLOS) multipath, which causes large positioning errors in a global navigation satellite system (GNSS). We use GNSS signal correlation output, which is the most primitive GNSS signal processing output, to detect NLOS multipath based on machine learning. The shape of the multi-correlator outputs is distorted due to the NLOS multipath. The features of the shape of the multi-correlator are used to discriminate the NLOS multipath. We implement two supervised learning methods, a support vector machine (SVM) and a neural network (NN), and compare their performance. In addition, we also propose an automated method of collecting training data for LOS and NLOS signals of machine learning. The evaluation of the proposed NLOS detection method in an urban environment confirmed that NN was better than SVM, and 97.7% of NLOS signals were correctly discriminated.

This article experiments with deep learning methodologies in echocardiogram (echo), a promising and vigorously researched technique in the preponderance field. This paper involves two different kinds of classification in the echo. Firstly, classification into normal (absence of abnormalities) or abnormal (presence of abnormalities) has been done, using 2D echo images, 3D Doppler images, and videographic images. Secondly, based on different types of regurgitation, namely, Mitral Regurgitation (MR), Aortic Regurgitation (AR), Tricuspid Regurgitation (TR), and a combination of the three types of regurgitation are classified using videographic echo images. Two deep-learning methodologies are used for these purposes, a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) based methodology (Long Short Term Memory (LSTM)) and an Autoencoder based methodology (Variational AutoEncoder (VAE)). The use of videographic images distinguished this work from the existing work using SVM (Support Vector Machine) and also application of deep-learning methodologies is the first of many in this particular field. It was found that deep-learning methodologies perform better than SVM methodology in normal or abnormal classification. Overall, VAE performs better in 2D and 3D Doppler images (static images) while LSTM performs better in the case of videographic images.

Classification is the process of grouping objects that have the same features or characteristics into several classes. The automatic documents classification use words frequency that appears on training data as features. The large number of documents cause the number of words that appears as a feature will increase. Therefore, summaries are chosen to reduce the number of words that used in classification. The classification uses multiclass Support Vector Machine (SVM) method. SVM was considered to have a good reputation in the classification. This research tests the effect of summary as selection features into documents classification. The summaries reduce text into 50%. A result obtained that the summaries did not affect value accuracy of classification of documents that use SVM. But, summaries improve the accuracy of Simple Logistic Classifier. The classification testing shows that the accuracy of Naïve Bayes Multinomial (NBM) better than SVM

Dialog act (DA) classification is useful to understand the intentions of a human speaker. An effective classification of DA can be exploited for realistic implementation of expert systems. In this work, we investigate DA classification using both acoustic and discourse information for HCRC MapTask data. We extract several different acoustic features and exploit these features using a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) network to classify acoustic information. For discourse feature extraction, we propose a novel parts-of-speech (POS) tagging technique that effectively reduces the dimensionality of discourse features. To classify discourse information, we exploit two classifiers such as a HMM and Support Vector Machine (SVM). We further obtain classifier fusion between HMM and SVM to improve discourse classification. Finally, we perform an efficient decision-level classifier fusion for both acoustic and discourse information to classify 12 different DAs in MapTask data. We obtain 65.2% and 55.4% DA classification rates using acoustic and discourse information, respectively. Furthermore, we obtain combined accuracy of 68.6% for DA classification using both acoustic and discourse information. These accuracy rates of DA classification are either comparable or better than previously reported results for the same data set. For average precision and recall, we obtain accuracy rates of 74.89% and 69.83%, respectively. Therefore, we obtain much better precision and recall rates for most of the classified DAs when compared to existing works on the same HCRC MapTask data set.

Detecting cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the early stage is a difficult and crucial process. The objective of this study is to test the capability of machine learning (ML) methods for accurately diagnosing the CVD outcomes. For this study, the efficiency and effectiveness of four well renowned ML classifiers, i.e., support vector machine (SVM), logistics regression (LR), naive Bayes (NB), and decision tree (J48), are measured in terms of precision, sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC), correctly and incorrectly classified instances, and model building time. These ML classifiers are applied on publically available CVD dataset. In accordance with the measured result, J48 performs better than its competitor classifiers, providing significant assistance to the cardiologists.

The 2019 Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic is a current challenge for the world’s health systems aiming to control this disease. From an epidemiological point of view, the control of the incidence of this disease requires an understanding of the influence of the variables describing a population. This research aims to predict the COVID-19 incidence in three risk categories using two types of machine learning models, together with an analysis of the relative importance of the available features in predicting the COVID-19 incidence in the Chilean urban commune of Concepción. The classification results indicate that the ConvLSTM (Convolutional Long Short-Term Memory) classifier performed better than the SVM (Support Vector Machine), with results between 93% and 96% in terms of accuracy (ACC) and F-measure (F1) metrics. In addition, when considering each one of the regional and national features as well as the communal features (DEATHS and MOBILITY), it was observed that at the regional level the CRITICAL BED OCCUPANCY and PATIENTS IN ICU features positively contributed to the performance of the classifiers, while at the national level the features that most impacted the performance of the SVM and ConvLSTM were those related to the type of hospitalization of patients and the use of mechanical ventilators.

The support vector machine (SVM) is used in the classification of sonar signals and DNA-binding proteins. Our study on the classification of sonar signals shows that SVM produces a result better than that obtained from other classification methods, which is consistent from the findings of other studies. The testing accuracy of classification is 95.19% as compared with that of 90.4% from multilayered neural network and that of 82.7% from nearest neighbor classifier. From our results on the classification of DNA-binding proteins, one finds that SVM gives a testing accuracy of 82.32%, which is slightly better than that obtained from an earlier study of SVM classification of protein–protein interactions. Hence, our study indicates the usefulness of SVM in the identification of DNA-binding proteins. Further improvements in SVM algorithm and parameters are suggested.

Supervised and interpatient classification of heart beats is primordial in many applications requiring long-term monitoring of the cardiac function. Several classification models able to cope with the strong class unbalance and a large variety of feature sets have been proposed for this task. In practice, over 200 features are often considered, and the features retained in the final model are either chosen using domain knowledge or an exhaustive search in the feature sets without evaluating the relevance of each individual feature included in the classifier. As a consequence, the results obtained by these models can be suboptimal and difficult to interpret. In this work, feature selection techniques are considered to extract optimal feature subsets for state-of-the-art ECG classification models. The performances are evaluated on real ambulatory recordings and compared to previously reported feature choices using the same models. Results indicate that a small number of individual features actually serve the classification and that better performances can be achieved by removing useless features.
