The brain-computer interface is considered one of the main tools for implementing and designing smart medical software. The analysis of brain signal data, called EEG, is one of the main tasks of smart medical diagnostic systems. While EEG signals have many components, one of the most important brain activities pursued is the P300 component. Detection of this component can help detect abnormalities and visualize the movement of organs of the body. In this research, a new method for processing EEG signals is proposed with the aim of detecting the P300 component. Major features were extracted from the BCI Competition IV EEG data set in a number of steps, i.e. normalization with the purpose of noise reduction using a median filter, feature extraction using a recurrent neural network, and classification using Twin Support Vector Machine. Then, a series of evaluation criteria were used to validate the proposed approach and compare it with similar methods. The results showed that the proposed approach has high accuracy.

Abstract Spectroscopic techniques combined with chemometrics are a promising tool for analysis of seized drug powders. In this study, the performance of three spectroscopic techniques [Mid-InfraRed (MIR), Raman and Near-InfraRed (NIR)] was compared. In total, 364 seized powders were analyzed and consisted of 276 cocaine powders (with concentrations ranging from 4 to 99 w%) and 88 powders without cocaine. A classification model (using Support Vector Machines [SVM] discriminant analysis) and a quantification model (using SVM regression) were constructed with each spectral dataset in order to discriminate cocaine powders from other powders and quantify cocaine in powders classified as cocaine positive. The performances of the models were compared with gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and gas chromatography with flame-ionization detection (GC–FID). Different evaluation criteria were used: number of false negatives (FNs), number of false positives (FPs), accuracy, root mean square error of cross-validation (RMSECV) and determination coefficients (R2). Ten colored powders were excluded from the classification data set due to fluorescence background observed in Raman spectra. For the classification, the best accuracy (99.7%) was obtained with MIR spectra. With Raman and NIR spectra, the accuracy was 99.5% and 98.9%, respectively. For the quantification, the best results were obtained with NIR spectra. The cocaine content was determined with a RMSECV of 3.79% and a R2 of 0.97. The performance of MIR and Raman to predict cocaine concentrations was lower than NIR, with RMSECV of 6.76% and 6.79%, respectively and both with a R2 of 0.90. The three spectroscopic techniques can be applied for both classification and quantification of cocaine, but some differences in performance were detected. The best classification was obtained with MIR spectra. For quantification, however, the RMSECV of MIR and Raman was twice as high in comparison with NIR. Spectroscopic techniques combined with chemometrics can reduce the workload for confirmation analysis (e.g., chromatography based) and therefore save time and resources.

Electrocardiography (ECG) is a transthoracic interpretation of the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time, as detected by electrodes attached to the outer surface of the skin and recorded by a device external to the body. ECG signal classification is very important for the clinical detection of arrhythmia. This paper presents an application of an improved wavelet neural network structure to the classification of the ECG beats, because of the high precision and fast learning rate. Feature extraction method in this paper is wavelet transform. Our experimental data set is taken from the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. The correct detection rate of QRS wave is 95% by testing the data of MIT-BIH database. The proposed methods are applied to a large number of ECG signals consisting of 600 training samples and 120 test samples from the MIT-BIH database. The samples equally represent six different ECG signal types, including normal beat, atrial premature beat, ventricular premature beat, left bundle branch block, right bundle branch block and paced beat. In comparison with pattern recognition methods of BP neural networks, RBF neural networks and Support Vector Machines (SVM), the results in this experiment prove that the wavelet neural network method has a better recognition rate when classifying electrocardiogram signals. The experimental results prove that supposed method in this paper is effective for arrhythmia pattern recognition field.

The reduced habitat owned by an animal has a very bad impact on the survival of the animal, resulting in a continuous decrease in the number of animal populations especially in animals belonging to the big cat family such as tigers, cheetahs, jaguars, and others. To overcome the decline in the animal population, a classification model was built to classify images that focuses on the pattern of body covering possessed by animals. However, in designing an accurate classification model with an optimal level of accuracy, it is necessary to consider many aspects such as the dataset used, the number of parameters, and computation time. In this study, we propose an animal image classification model that focuses on animal body covering by combining the Pyramid Histogram of Oriented Gradient (PHOG) as the feature extraction method and the Support Vector Machine (SVM) as the classifier. Initially, the input image is processed to take the body covering pattern of the animal and converted it into a grayscale image. Then, the image is segmented by employing the median filter and the Otsu method. Therefore, the noise contained in the image can be removed and the image can be segmented. The results of the segmentation image are then extracted by using the PHOG and then proceed with the classification process by implementing the SVM. The experimental results showed that the classification model has an accuracy of 91.07%.

ABSTRACTSepsis is a severe infectious disease with high mortality, and it occurs when chemicals released in the bloodstream to fight an infection trigger inflammation throughout the body and it can cause a cascade of changes that damage multiple organ systems, leading them to fail, even resulting in death. In order to reduce the possibility of sepsis or infection antiseptics are used and process is known as antisepsis. Antiseptic peptides (ASPs) show properties similar to antigram-negative peptides, antigram-positive peptides and many more. Machine learning algorithms are useful in screening and identification of therapeutic peptides and thus provide initial filters or built confidence before using time consuming and laborious experimental approaches. In this study, various machine learning algorithms like Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN) and Logistic Regression (LR) were evaluated for prediction of ASPs. Moreover, the characteristics physicochemical features of ASPs were also explored to use them in machine learning. Both manual and automatic feature selection methodology was employed to achieve best performance of machine learning algorithms. A 5-fold cross validation and independent data set validation proved RF as the best model for prediction of ASPs. Our RF model showed an accuracy of 97%, Matthew’s Correlation Coefficient (MCC) of 0.93, which are indication of a robust and good model. To our knowledge this is the first attempt to build a machine learning classifier for prediction of ASPs.

Many approaches have been proposed using Electroencephalogram (EEG) to detect epilepsy seizures in their early stages. Epilepsy seizure is a severe neurological disease. Practitioners continue to rely on manual testing of EEG signals. Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) can effectively deal with this problem. ML can be used to classify EEG signals employing feature extraction techniques. This work focuses on automated detection for epilepsy seizures using ML techniques. Various algorithms are investigated, such as  Bagging, Decision Tree (DT), Adaboost, Support vector machine (SVM), K-nearest neighbors(KNN), Artificial neural network(ANN), Naïve Bayes, and Random Forest (RF) to distinguish injected signals from normal ones with high accuracy. In this work, 54 Discrete wavelet transforms (DWTs) are used for feature extraction, and the similarity distance is applied to identify the most powerful features. The features are then selected to form the features matrix. The matrix is subsequently used to train ML. The proposed approach is evaluated through different metrics such as F-measure, precision, accuracy, and Recall. The experimental results show that the SVM and Bagging classifiers in some data set combinations, outperforming all other classifiers

Much attention has been paid to the recognition of human emotions with the help of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals based on machine learning technology. Recognizing emotions is a challenging task due to the non-linear property of the EEG signal. This paper presents an advanced signal processing method using the deep neural network (DNN) for emotion recognition based on EEG signals. The spectral and temporal components of the raw EEG signal are first retained in the 2D Spectrogram before the extraction of features. The pre-trained AlexNet model is used to extract the raw features from the 2D Spectrogram for each channel. To reduce the feature dimensionality, spatial, and temporal based, bag of deep features (BoDF) model is proposed. A series of vocabularies consisting of 10 cluster centers of each class is calculated using the k-means cluster algorithm. Lastly, the emotion of each subject is represented using the histogram of the vocabulary set collected from the raw-feature of a single channel. Features extracted from the proposed BoDF model have considerably smaller dimensions. The proposed model achieves better classification accuracy compared to the recently reported work when validated on SJTU SEED and DEAP data sets. For optimal classification performance, we use a support vector machine (SVM) and k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) to classify the extracted features for the different emotional states of the two data sets. The BoDF model achieves 93.8% accuracy in the SEED data set and 77.4% accuracy in the DEAP data set, which is more accurate compared to other state-of-the-art methods of human emotion recognition.

The Impact

Recognition of human emotions is a fascinating research field that motivates many researchers to use various approaches, such as facial expression, speech or gesture of the body. Electroencephalogram (EEG) is another approach of recognizing human emotion through brain signals and has offered promising findings. Although EEG signals provide detail information on human emotional states, the analysis of non-linear and chaotic characteristics of EEG signals is a substantial problem. The main challenge remains in analyzing EEG signals to extract relevant features in order to achieve optimum classification performance. Various feature extraction methods have been developed by researchers, which mainly can be categorized under time, frequency or time-frequency based feature extraction methods. Yet, there are numerous setting that could affect the performance of any model. In this paper, we investigated the performance of Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Discrete Wavelet Packet Transform (DWPT), which are time-frequency domain methods using Support Vector Machine (SVM) and k-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) classification techniques. Different SVM kernel functions and distance metrics of KNN are tested in this study by using subject-dependent and subject -independent approaches. The experiment is implemented using publicly available DEAP dataset. The experimental results show that DWT is mostly suitable with weighted KNN classifier while DWPT reported better results when tested using Linear SVM classifier to accurately classify the EEG signals on subject-dependent approach. Consistent results are observed for DWT-KNN on subject-independent approach, however SVM works better in the setting of quadratic kernel functions. These results indicate that further investigation is significant to examine the impact of different setting of methods in analyzing large scale of EEG data

Electroencephalogram (EEG) is often used in clinical epilepsy treatment to monitor electrical signal changes in the brain of patients with epilepsy. With the development of signal processing and artificial intelligence technology, artificial intelligence classification method plays an important role in the automatic recognition of epilepsy EEG signals. However, traditional classifiers are easily affected by impurities and noise in epileptic EEG signals. To solve this problem, this paper develops a noise robustness low-rank learning (NRLRL) algorithm for EEG signal classification. NRLRL establishes a low-rank subspace to connect the original data space and label space. Making full use of supervision information, it considers the local information preservation of samples to ensure the low-rank representation of within-class compactness and between-classes dispersion. The asymmetric least squares support vector machine (aLS-SVM) is embedded into the objective function of NRLRL. The aLS-SVM finds the maximum quantile distance between the two classes of samples based on the pinball loss function, which further improves the noise robustness of the model. Several classification experiments with different noise intensity are designed on the Bonn data set, and the experiment results verify the effectiveness of the NRLRL algorithm.

Visual Evoked

Brain Computer Interface (BCI) is a system that enables people to communicate with the outside world and control various electronic devices by interpreting only brain activity (motor movement imagination, emotional state, any focused visual or auditory stimulus, etc.). The visual stimulation based recording is one of the most popular methods among various electroencephalography (EEG) recording methods. Steady-state visual-evoked potentials (SSVEPs) where visual objects are blinking at a fixed frequency play an important role due to their high signal-to-noise ratio and higher information transfer rate in BCI applications. However, the design of multiple (more than 3) commands systems in SSVEPs based BCI systems is limited. The different approaches are recommended to overcome these problems. In this study, an approach based on machine learning is proposed to determine stimulating frequency in SSVEP signals. The data set (AVI SSVEP Dataset) is obtained through open access from the internet for simulations. The dataset includes EEG signals that was recorded when subjects looked at a flickering frequency at seven different frequencies (6-6.5-7-7.5-8.2-9.3-10Hz). In the machine learning-based approach Wigner-Ville Distribution (WVD) is used and features are extracted using Time-Frequency (TF) representations of EEG signals. These features are classified by Decision Tree, Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Naive Bayes, Ensemble Learning classifiers. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach achieved promising accuracy rates for 7 command SSVEP systems. As a consequence, the maximum accuracy is achieved in the Ensemble Learning classifier with 47.60%.
