UF-EMG test, in which non-invasive uroflowmetry (UF) and electromyography (EMG) signals are simultaneously recorded, is frequently used in children diagnosed with lower urinary tract dysfunction disease (AUSD) and its treatment. In the literature, independent (single) UF signals and integrated (dual) UF-EMG signals are graded many times but there is no classification study of UF-EMG integrated signals...
This paper presents a nearest neighbor partitioning method designed to improve the performance of a neural-network classifier. For neural-network classifiers, usually the number, positions, and labels of centroids are fixed in partition space before training. However, that approach limits the search for potential neural networks during optimization; the quality of a neural network classifier is based...
Repetitive respiratory disturbance during sleep is called Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome and causes various diseases. Different features and classifiers have been used by different researchers to detect sleep apnea. This study is undertaken to identify the better performing blood oxygen saturation features subset using an Artificial Neural Network classifier for sleep Apnea detection. A database of...
Roller element bearing fault diagnosis is crucial in industry to maintain that the machine is in good condition so that there is no delay of work due to machine breakdown. This paper discusses the use of Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) algorithm to classify bearing faults. The performance of ELM is compared with Back Propagation (BP) algorithm. It was found that the results show that the ELM has smaller...
This paper presents a decision support system for classification of hotel guests in the terms of additional spending. The research is conducted on three stars medium-sized hotel. Guests are classified on arrival, during check-in, in one of the two groups: low spending group or high spending group. A low spending group consists of visitors that are anticipated to spend less than 25 Euros per day for...
In this paper, we propose a Wavelet Neural Network (WNN) classifier for breast cancer. WNN is a new kind of artificial neural network which is coming more popular these days. This method is based on the Wavelet Transform (WT) and classical neural networks. This paper explains how WNN classifies and uses formulas. The results of the experiments made to obtain the best results and the parameters affecting...
In the industry, maintenance costs can be reduced by early detection and diagnosis. It can also improve the overall equipment efficiency of the machine system. To diagnose the problem is required a diagnosis system with a particular method. The Hidden Markov Model (HMM) method is used because it can determine the parameters that are hidden from the observable parameters. Then, The specified parameters...
State of the art network intrusion detection systems are heavily influenced by signature based techniques for detecting threats which are extracted from raw packet captures and firewall logs. With the recent emergence of cloud computing and big data analytics, supervised machine learning is also being used to detect deviations of the network traffic patterns from already-known normal patterns. Subsequently,...
This study investigates the discrimination between calm, exciting positive and exciting negative emotional states using EEG signals. Towards this direction, a publicly available dataset from eNTERFACE Workshop 2006 was used having as stimuli emotionally evocative images. At first, EEG features were extracted based on literature review. Then, a computational framework is proposed using machine learning...
Diabetes is one of the most common metabolic diseases and the statistics show that one in eleven adults has diabetes, but one in two adults with diabetes is undiagnosed, and in 2040 one in 10 adults will have diabetes. In this paper is proposed a hybrid Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) model for classifying patients with diabetes based on data sets with diabetic patients (Pima Indians...
In this paper, the single-channel EEG based classification systems using simple extracted features are investigated. Each classification system contains the following stages: data acquisition, signal decomposition, feature extraction, and classification. In addition to using the filter bank and empirical mode decomposition (EMD) methods for signal decomposition, a sparse discrete wavelet packet transform...
Personality is the defining essence of an individual as it guides the way we think, act and interpret external stimuli. Classification of personality is important as it can serves as a framework in the job assignment task, particularly, in the high risk job including the Police Force. There are many attributes of individual traits but not all of them can be used to indicate individual personality...
In digital holography applications, the position of the object, which is in the system, substantially affects the quality and clarity of three dimensional reconstructed image obtained from hologram. Therefore, obtaining a good three dimensional image by locating the image to be reconstructed in the correct position in the system, can sometimes take a long time. The usage of artificial intelligence...
Accurate and robust risk prediction methods are of critical importance in calculating insurance costs. In the present paper, we study the case of vehicle insurance and develop a computational intelligence based method for obtaining risk estimates based on the data provided by the client to the insurance company. The method is based on analyzing the contracts, processing the input data, applying classification,...
Air transportation has an important place among transportation systems and it is indispensable for the flights to perform their voyages in scheduled time in order to ensure the comfort of passengers and controllability of operational costs. There are several reasons for flight delays like weather conditions, excessive intensity in air traffic, accidents or closed airfields, conditions that will lead...
In this study, classification of Normal and Extra systolic heart sounds (HS) have been carried out using in PASCAL Heart Sounds (HS) data base. The extrasystole is the HS that is produced by performing an extra beat in each heart cycle, unlike the heartbeat normal cycle. It can be felt by people as palpitations. Occurrence of these sounds in certain age groups may be the indication of tachycardia...
This proposed method will give a suggestion for Tuberculosis (TB) diagnosing using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). Since diagnostic imaging techniques such as x-rays (Radiographs), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT) are available, X-ray techniques is widely preferred for edging the image of TB affected area in the chest region. This method is preferred due to its fastness...
Unknown awareness is very important for many applications such as face recognition. In a typical unknown aware classifier, an “unknown” label is assigned to strange test instances. This study proposes an unknown aware classifier known as UAkNN by extending the well-known kNN classifier. In UAkNN, unknown awareness is achieved by exploiting distances between instances of individual classes. These distances...
This paper proposes a hybrid approach, integrating Decision Trees (DT) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) for energy price classification in deregulated electricity market. The proposed model does not aim to predict future values of energy prices, but classify and explain the negative Locational Marginal Price (LMP) that are observed in the grid. The negative LMPs are grouped by the K-means technique...
Coughing is one of the important signs of several diseases in dogs. There are two types of dog cough: dry cough and productive cough. The latter is most often associated with an infectious condition. It is difficult to differentiate between the two types even by experienced practitioners. In this paper, an automatic cough sound classification using neural network is introduced. A discrete wavelet...
