Advanced technology, such as time-series feature extraction, machine...
The paper presents a unique combination of texture feature extraction techniques which can be used in image texture analysis. Setting the prime objective of classifying different texture images, the Local Binary Pattern (LBP) and a modified form of Gray Level Run Length Matrix (GLRLM) are implemented initially. The next phase involves use of combination of the former two methods to extract improved...
Automatic Question Answering (QA) is a hot topic in both Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Information Retrieval (IR). And question classification is the key step of a successful automatic QA system. In this paper, an SVM-based approach is firstly proposed as our baseline system. Then two additional features, i.e., top-words and dependency relations, are introduced to improve the performance of...
This paper proposes a new approach to recognize iris from distantly acquired facial images by utilizing multiple feature descriptors and classifiers. Firstly, Log-Gabor (LG), Contourlet Transform (CT), Gradient Local Auto-Correlation (GLAC) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) descriptors are employed on segmented normalized iris image and contextual eye image to extract features. Then, K-Nearest...
Epileptic seizure detection requires the study of electroencephalogram (EEG) data. Visual marking of seizure onset in such EEG recordings is quite tedious, naturally subjective, extremely time consuming, and it may lead to inaccurate detection. Thus, the development of a robust framework for automatic seizure classification is necessary and can be very useful in epilepsy investigation. In this paper,...
At present, collaborative representation based classification (CRC) is widely used in many pattern classification and recognition tasks. Meanwhile, spatial pyramid matching (SPM) method, which considers the spatial information in representing the image, is efficient for image classification. However, for SPM, the weights to evaluate the representation of different subregions are fixed. In this paper,...
Most of the intrusion detection systems analyze all network traffic features to identify intrusions with different classification techniques. Any intrusion detection model developed has to provide maximum accuracy with minimal false alarms. Identifying the optimal feature subset for classification is an important task for improved classification. In this paper, consistency based feature selection...
Blind steganalysis is a method used to detect whether there is a hidden message in a media without having to know the steganography algorithm behind it. Digital image is converted into features using feature extraction algorithm subtractive pixel adjacency matrix. A model is built based on the resulting features using machine learning method support vector machine. The support vector machine method...
This paper focuses on the land cover/usage area classification problem by using local averaging for feature extraction method. In hyperspectral image classification tasks, spatial information is also useful as much as spectral information. A pipeline of methods is utilized using Fisher's discriminant analysis for dimension reduction, z-score value for central limiting and support vector machines and...
Analysis of breath sounds for the purpose of diagnosing respiratory pathology is of great interest in recent years. In this paper, classification of normal, wheeze, rhonchi, line and coarse crackles using breath sound signal recording is performed using signal processing and machine learning tools. Breath sounds were filtered from noise and segmented into breath cycles followed by feature extraction...
Spam emails are a major threat that negatively impacts email users. Spam wastes time, financial resources of businesses, consumes network bandwidth and slows down email servers. In addition, provides a medium for distributing malicious code and there is currently not one solution to this problem. The Bag of Words (BoW) word content feature extraction method is well established for classifying spam...
In this paper we present a novel writer-independent on-line signature verification system. The proposed system obtains a universal signature representation in dissimilarity space, but remains able to compensate for the personal variability of an individual's handwriting by subsequently employing a writer-specific dissimilarity normalisation strategy. Signature modelling is achieved by utilising either...
This paper addresses the problem of automatic target recognition (ATR) using inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) images. In this context, we propose a novel approach for feature extraction to describe precisely an aircraft target from ISAR images. In our approach, a visual attention model is adopted to separate the salient regions from the background. After that, the scale invariant feature transform...
This paper proposes a new Utterance Verification (UV) algorithm based on i-vector. Phone segments are extracted and concatenated from the training data, which are used to train the Universal Background Model (UBM) and the Total Variability (TV) matrix, and then, i-vector is extracted from the enrollment and evaluation data using UBM and TV matrix. We compare two Confidence Measures (CMs), cosine distance...
Hypertension poses a serious atherosclerotic risk as it causes both macro- and micro circulation damage. Nailfold capillaroscopy is a valuable yet simple tool to assess microcirculation of blood capillaries. This technique is important in detecting early occurrences of scleroderma spectrum disorders and evaluating Raynaud's Phenomenon. Here it is used in detecting hypertension in patients. Current...

This DataSet has been used for speech recognition by Multilayer Artificial Neural Network and achieved some results. The main goal of this work is applying SVM techniques to the Azerbaijan Speech Recognition System. The variety of results of SVM...
In this research, a prototype of home appliances control system based on steady-state visually evoked potential (SSVEP) is designed. The system is designed using two SSVEP datasets with different characteristics: the first dataset consists eight frequencies within 6-12 Hz, while the second consists frequencies of 8, 14, and 28 Hz. The EEG signal from the datasets is processed using three components:...
Faces express many social indications, including gender, ethnicity, age, expression and identity, most of them have drawn thriving attention from various research communities, for instance neuroscience, computer science and psychology. In this paper, we propose a new approach to classify gender and ethnicity by merging both texture and shape features extracted from face images. Gabor filter is used...
In this contribution, classification of two main neuromuscular diseases namely Myopathy and Neuropathy and Healthy signals is performed using cross-correlation based feature extraction technique. For this purpose, cross-correlation of Healthy, Myopathy and Neuropathy disease EMG signal is done with a reference Healthy signal. Selective features like Hjorth, Adaptive Autoregressive and statistical...
The sign language considered as the main language for deaf and dumb people. So, a translator is needed when a normal person wants to talk with a deaf or dumb person. In this paper, we present a framework for recognizing Bangla Sign Language (BSL) using Support Vector Machine. The Bangla hand sign alphabets for both vowels and consonants have been used to train and test the recognition system. Bangla...
