Accurate and Efficient Differentiation Between Normal and Epileptic Seizure of Eyes Using 13 Layer Convolution Neural Network

Epileptic seizure is one which affects the normal brain activities of human being and considered to be a risky disease. The eye ball movement signals pattern plays a significant role in determining the epileptic seizure in precise manner. In addition to it, EOG signals has its influence in detecting epileptic seizure through assessment of eye ball movement signals precisely. Detecting Epilepsy using genetical based Convolutional Neural Network plays a major role in the previous research works. Conversely, the existence of background noise on eye ball signals may impact on the outcome failure. Noise aware Epileptic Seizure Detection using Thirteen Layer Convolution Neural Network (NESD-TLCNN) is adopted in this research to mitigate this issue and thereby ensuring the prediction rate more precisely. Furthermore, Hybrid Dynamic Time Wrapping based Hidden Markov Model (HDWT-HMM) is greatly utilized for primary background noise detection and removal by estimating the noise depending on distance metric. Once after the completion of noise estimation, perfect detection of epileptic seizure is accomplished using feature extraction. The peculiar features involved are saccade, fixation and blink features. Subsequently, Particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique is also involved in this research for optimal feature selection. Thirteen Layer Convolution Neural Network (TLCNN) is applied at last for learning and differentiation of epileptic seizure from the normal eyes. This research is being carried out in MATLAB platform which also reveals that the anticipated methodology produces improved outcomes when contrasted with the existing research work.

Voice-Based Speaker Identification and Verification

In recent years, the advancement in voice-based authentication leads in the field of numerous forensic voice authentication technology. For verification, the speech reference model is collected from various open-source clusters. In this chapter, the primary focus is on automatic speech recognition (ASR) technique which stores and retrieves the data and processes them in a scalable manner. There are the various conventional techniques for speech recognition such as BWT, SVD, and MFCC, but for automatic speech recognition, the efficiency of these conventional recognition techniques degrade. So, to overcome this problem, the authors propose a speech recognition system using E-SVD, D3-MFCC, and dynamic time wrapping (DTW). The speech signal captures its important qualities while discarding the unimportant and distracting features using D3-MFCC.

Dynamic All-Red Signal Control Based on Deep Neural Network Considering Red Light Runner Characteristics

Despite recent advances in technologies for intelligent transportation systems, the safety of intersection traffic is still threatened by traffic signal violation, called the Red Light Runner (RLR). The conventional approach to ensure the intersection safety under the threat of an RLR is to extend the length of the all-red signal when an RLR is detected. Therefore, the selection of all-red signal length is an important factor for intersection safety as well as traffic efficiency. In this paper, for better safety and efficiency of intersection traffic, we propose a framework for dynamic all-red signal control that adjusts the length of all-red signal time according to the driving characteristics of the detected RLR. In this work, we define RLRs into four different classes based on the clustering results using the Dynamic Time Wrapping (DTW) and the Hierarchical Clustering Analysis (HCA). The proposed system uses a Multi-Channel Deep Convolutional Neural Network (MC-DCNN) for online detection of RLR and also classification of RLR class. For dynamic all-red signal control, the proposed system uses a multi-level regression model to estimate the necessary all-red signal extension time more accurately and hence improves the overall intersection traffic safety as well as efficiency.

Identifying Sepsis Subphenotypes via Time-Aware Multi-Modal Auto-Encoder

Sepsis is a heterogeneous clinical syndrome that is the leading cause of mortality in hospital intensive care units (ICUs). Identification of sepsis subphenotypes may allow for more precise treatments and lead to more targeted clinical interventions. Recently, sepsis subtyping on electronic health records (EHRs) has attracted interest from healthcare researchers. However, most sepsis subtyping studies ignore the temporality of EHR data and suffer from missing values. In this paper, we propose a new sepsis subtyping framework to address the two issues. Our subtyping framework consists of a novel Time-Aware Multi-modal auto-Encoder (TAME) model which introduces time-aware attention mechanism and incorporates multi-modal inputs (e.g., demographics, diagnoses, medications, lab tests and vital signs) to impute missing values, a dynamic time wrapping (DTW) method to measure patients' temporal similarity based on the imputed EHR data, and a weighted k-means algorithm to cluster patients. Comprehensive experiments on real-world datasets show TAME outperforms the baselines on imputation accuracy. After analyzing TAME-imputed EHR data, we identify four novel subphenotypes of sepsis patients, paving the way for improved personalization of sepsis management.

Recognition of Online Handwritten Isolated Kannada Characters using PCA and DTW

Handwriting is a natural means of documentation and communication for several years. Human beings communicating with computers through handwritten input would be the best and easiest way of exchanging the information. It is difficult to input data for computers for Indian language scripts because of their complex typing nature. This paper focuses on exploring performance of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Dynamic Time Wrapping (DTW) approaches for recognizing online handwritten isolated Kannada characters. Methodology proposed in this paper is writer independent model which recognizes basic 50 Kannada characters including 16 vowels and 34 consonants.
