Sparse Representation Classifier Embedding Subspace Mapping and Support Vector for Facial Expression Recognition

With the development of integration and innovation of Internet and industry, facial expression recognition (FER) technology is widely applied in wireless communication and mobile edge computing. The sparse representation-based classification is a hot topic in computer vision and pattern recognition. It is one type of commonly used image classification algorithms for FER in recent years. To improve the accuracy of FER system, this study proposed a sparse representation classifier embedding subspace mapping and support vector (SRC-SM-SV). Based on the traditional sparse representation model, SRC-SM-SV maps the training samples into a subspace and extracts rich and discriminative features by using the structural information and label information of the training samples. SRC-SM-SV integrates the support vector machine to enhance the classification performance of sparse representation coding. The solution of SRC-SM-SV uses an alternate iteration method, which makes the optimization process of the algorithm simple and efficient. Experiments on JAFFE and CK+ datasets prove the effectiveness of SRC-SM-SV in FER.

A Domain Adaptation Sparse Representation Classifier for Cross-Domain Electroencephalogram-Based Emotion Classification

The brain-computer interface (BCI) interprets the physiological information of the human brain in the process of consciousness activity. It builds a direct information transmission channel between the brain and the outside world. As the most common non-invasive BCI modality, electroencephalogram (EEG) plays an important role in the emotion recognition of BCI; however, due to the individual variability and non-stationary of EEG signals, the construction of EEG-based emotion classifiers for different subjects, different sessions, and different devices is an important research direction. Domain adaptation utilizes data or knowledge from more than one domain and focuses on transferring knowledge from the source domain (SD) to the target domain (TD), in which the EEG data may be collected from different subjects, sessions, or devices. In this study, a new domain adaptation sparse representation classifier (DASRC) is proposed to address the cross-domain EEG-based emotion classification. To reduce the differences in domain distribution, the local information preserved criterion is exploited to project the samples from SD and TD into a shared subspace. A common domain-invariant dictionary is learned in the projection subspace so that an inherent connection can be built between SD and TD. In addition, both principal component analysis (PCA) and Fisher criteria are exploited to promote the recognition ability of the learned dictionary. Besides, an optimization method is proposed to alternatively update the subspace and dictionary learning. The comparison of CSFDDL shows the feasibility and competitive performance for cross-subject and cross-dataset EEG-based emotion classification problems.

Prediction of Protein-Protein Interactions from Protein Sequences by Combining MatPCA Feature Extraction Algorithms and Weighted Sparse Representation Models

Identifying protein-protein interactions (PPIs) plays a vital role in a number of biological activities such as signal transduction, transcriptional regulation, and apoptosis. Although advances in high-throughput technologies have generated large amounts of PPI data for different species, they only cover a small part of the entire PPI network. Furthermore, traditional experimental methods are generally expensive, time-consuming, tedious, and prone to high false-positive rates. Therefore, to overcome this problem, it is necessary to develop a novel computational method for predicting PPIs. In this article, we propose an efficient computational method to detect protein-protein interactions using only protein sequence information, which integrates the MatPCA feature extraction algorithm and the weighted sparse representation classifier. As a result, when predicting PPIs on yeast, human, and H. pylori datasets, the proposed method achieves superior prediction performance with an average accuracy of 94.55%, 97.48%, and 83.64%, respectively. These experimental results further illustrate that the proposed method is reliable and robust in predicting PPIs, which can be regarded as a useful complement to the experimental method.
