Firstly, pruning region samples center method with adjustable pruning scale was used to prune data samples. This method could reduce classifierr s training time and testing time. Secondly, ELS-TWSVM was proposed to classify the data samples.

Meanwhile, a new multi-class classification method is proposed. Originated from support vector data description, AHSVM adopts hyper-sphere to solve classification problem. AHSVM can obey two principles： the margin maximization and inner-class dispersion minimization. Moreover, the hyper-sphere of AHSVM is adjustable, which makes the final classification hyper-sphere optimal for training dataset. On the other hand, AHSVM is combined with binary tree to solve multi-class classification for steel surface defects. A scheme of samples pruning in mapped feature space is provided, which can reduce the number of training samples under the premise of classification accuracy, resulting in the improvements of classification speed. Finally, some testing experiments are done for eight types of strip steel surface defects. Experimental results show that multi-class AHSVM classifier exhibits satisfactory results in classification accuracy and efficiency.展开更多

Each binary classifier is trained to detect one specific non-healthy condition. The algorithm analyzed in the present work expands the ability of detection of this tool by classifying GI tract image snapshots into two classes, depicting haemorrhage and non-haemorrhage state. The proposed algorithm is the result of the collaboration between interdisciplinary specialists on AI and Data Analysis, Computer Vision, Gastroenterologists of four University Gastroenterology Departments of Greek Medical Schools. The data used are 195 videos (177 from non-healthy cases and 18 from healthy cases) videos captured from the PillCam<sup>(R)</sup> Medronics device, originated from 195 patients, all diagnosed with different forms of angioectasia, haemorrhages and other diseases from different sites of the gastrointestinal (GI), mainly including difficult cases of diagnosis. Our AI algorithm is based on convolutional neural network (CNN) trained on annotated images at image level, using a semantic tag indicating whether the image contains angioectasia and haemorrhage traces or not. At least 22 CNN architectures were created and evaluated some of which pre-trained applying transfer learning on ImageNet data. All the CNN variations were introduced, trained to a prevalence dataset of 50%, and evaluated of unseen data. On test data, the best results were obtained from our CNN architectures which do not utilize backbone of transfer learning. Across a balanced dataset from no-healthy images and healthy images from 39 videos from different patients, identified correct diagnosis with sensitivity 90%, specificity 92%, precision 91.8%, FPR 8%, FNR 10%. Besides, we compared the performance of our best CNN algorithm versus our same goal algorithm based on HSV colorimetric lesions features extracted of pixel-level annotations, both algorithms trained and tested on the same data. It is evaluated that the CNN trained on image level annotated images, is 9% less sensitive, achieves 2.6% less precision, 1.2% less FPR, and 7% less FNR, than that based on HSV filters, extracted from on pixel-level annotated training data.展开更多

In this study, the statistical characteristics of the disturbance signal of wavelet transform coefficients and wavelet transform energy distribution constitute feature vectors. These vectors are then trained and tested using SVM multi-class algorithms.

A comparative study of their classification performance will be helpful in choosing the means of classification. Here we evaluated the classification performance of miRNA and mRNA profiles using a new data mining approach based on a novel SVM （Support Vector Machines） based recursive fea- ture elimination （nRFE） algorithm. Computational experiments showed that information encoded in miRNAs is not sufficient to classify cancers; gut-derived samples cluster more accurately when using mRNA expression profiles compared with using miRNA profiles; and poorly differentiated tumors （PDT） could be classified by mRNA expression profiles at the accuracy of 100% versus 93.8% when using miRNA profiles. Furthermore, we showed that mRNA expression profiles have higher capacity in normal tissue classifications than miRNA. We concluded that classification performance using mRNA profiles is superior to that of miRNA profiles in multiple-class cancer classifications.展开更多

Several deep-learning techniques have been applied to overcome the issue of pest detection on crops. We have developed the YOLOCSP-PEST model for Pest localization and classification. With the Cross Stage Partial Network (CSPNET) backbone, the proposed model is a modified version of You Only Look Once Version 7 (YOLOv7) that is intended primarily for pest localization and classification. Our proposed model gives exceptionally good results under conditions that are very challenging for any other comparable models especially conditions where we have issues with the luminance and the orientation of the images. It helps farmers working out on their crops in distant areas to determine any infestation quickly and accurately on their crops which helps in the quality and quantity of the production yield. The model has been trained and tested on 2 datasets namely the IP102 data set and a local crop data set on both of which it has shown exceptional results. It gave us a mean average precision (mAP) of 88.40% along with a precision of 85.55% and a recall of 84.25% on the IP102 dataset meanwhile giving a mAP of 97.18% on the local data set along with a recall of 94.88% and a precision of 97.50%. These findings demonstrate that the proposed model is very effective in detecting real-life scenarios and can help in the production of crops improving the yield quality and quantity at the same time.展开更多

文摘Alzheimer’s Disease(AD)is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that significantly affects cognitive function,making early and accurate diagnosis essential.Traditional Deep Learning(DL)-based approaches often struggle with low-contrast MRI images,class imbalance,and suboptimal feature extraction.This paper develops a Hybrid DL system that unites MobileNetV2 with adaptive classification methods to boost Alzheimer’s diagnosis by processing MRI scans.Image enhancement is done using Contrast-Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization(CLAHE)and Enhanced Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Networks(ESRGAN).A classification robustness enhancement system integrates class weighting techniques and a Matthews Correlation Coefficient(MCC)-based evaluation method into the design.The trained and validated model gives a 98.88%accuracy rate and 0.9614 MCC score.We also performed a 10-fold cross-validation experiment with an average accuracy of 96.52%(±1.51),a loss of 0.1671,and an MCC score of 0.9429 across folds.The proposed framework outperforms the state-of-the-art models with a 98%weighted F1-score while decreasing misdiagnosis results for every AD stage.The model demonstrates apparent separation abilities between AD progression stages according to the results of the confusion matrix analysis.These results validate the effectiveness of hybrid DL models with adaptive preprocessing for early and reliable Alzheimer’s diagnosis,contributing to improved computer-aided diagnosis(CAD)systems in clinical practice.

文摘Cyberbullying on social media poses significant psychological risks,yet most detection systems over-simplify the task by focusing on binary classification,ignoring nuanced categories like passive-aggressive remarks or indirect slurs.To address this gap,we propose a hybrid framework combining Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency(TF-IDF),word-to-vector(Word2Vec),and Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers(BERT)based models for multi-class cyberbullying detection.Our approach integrates TF-IDF for lexical specificity and Word2Vec for semantic relationships,fused with BERT’s contextual embeddings to capture syntactic and semantic complexities.We evaluate the framework on a publicly available dataset of 47,000 annotated social media posts across five cyberbullying categories:age,ethnicity,gender,religion,and indirect aggression.Among BERT variants tested,BERT Base Un-Cased achieved the highest performance with 93%accuracy(standard deviation across±1%5-fold cross-validation)and an average AUC of 0.96,outperforming standalone TF-IDF(78%)and Word2Vec(82%)models.Notably,it achieved near-perfect AUC scores(0.99)for age and ethnicity-based bullying.A comparative analysis with state-of-the-art benchmarks,including Generative Pre-trained Transformer 2(GPT-2)and Text-to-Text Transfer Transformer(T5)models highlights BERT’s superiority in handling ambiguous language.This work advances cyberbullying detection by demonstrating how hybrid feature extraction and transformer models improve multi-class classification,offering a scalable solution for moderating nuanced harmful content.
文摘The rapid and increasing growth in the volume and number of cyber threats from malware is not a real danger;the real threat lies in the obfuscation of these cyberattacks,as they constantly change their behavior,making detection more difficult.Numerous researchers and developers have devoted considerable attention to this topic;however,the research field has not yet been fully saturated with high-quality studies that address these problems.For this reason,this paper presents a novel multi-objective Markov-enhanced adaptive whale optimization(MOMEAWO)cybersecurity model to improve the classification of binary and multi-class malware threats through the proposed MOMEAWO approach.The proposed MOMEAWO cybersecurity model aims to provide an innovative solution for analyzing,detecting,and classifying the behavior of obfuscated malware within their respective families.The proposed model includes three classification types:Binary classification and multi-class classification(e.g.,four families and 16 malware families).To evaluate the performance of this model,we used a recently published dataset called the Canadian Institute for Cybersecurity Malware Memory Analysis(CIC-MalMem-2022)that contains balanced data.The results show near-perfect accuracy in binary classification and high accuracy in multi-class classification compared with related work using the same dataset.

文摘Artificial intelligence(AI),particularly deep learning algorithms utilizing convolutional neural networks,plays an increasingly pivotal role in enhancing medical image examination.It demonstrates the potential for improving diagnostic accuracy within dental care.Orthopantomograms(OPGs)are essential in dentistry;however,their manual interpretation is often inconsistent and tedious.To the best of our knowledge,this is the first comprehensive application of YOLOv5m for the simultaneous detection and classification of six distinct dental pathologies using panoramic OPG images.The model was trained and refined on a custom dataset that began with 232 panoramic radiographs and was later expanded to 604 samples.These included annotated subclasses representing Caries,Infection,Impacted Teeth,Fractured Teeth,Broken Crowns,and Healthy conditions.The training was performed using GPU resources alongside tuned hyperparameters of batch size,learning rate schedule,and early stopping tailored for generalization to prevent overfitting.Evaluation on a held-out test set showed strong performance in the detection and localization of various dental pathologies and robust overall accuracy.At an IoU of 0.5,the system obtained a mean precision of 94.22%and recall of 90.42%,with mAP being 93.71%.This research confirms the use of YOLOv5m as a robust,highly efficient AI technology for the analysis of dental pathologies using OPGs,providing a clinically useful solution to enhance workflow efficiency and aid in sustaining consistency in complex multi-dimensional case evaluations.

文摘Multi-class classification can be solved by decomposing it into a set of binary classification problems according to some encoding rules,e.g.,one-vs-one,one-vs-rest,error-correcting output codes.Existing works solve these binary classification problems in the original feature space,while it might be suboptimal as different binary classification problems correspond to different positive and negative examples.In this paper,we propose to learn label-specific features for each decomposed binary classification problem to consider the specific characteristics containing in its positive and negative examples.Specifically,to generate the label-specific features,clustering analysis is respectively conducted on the positive and negative examples in each decomposed binary data set to discover their inherent information and then label-specific features for one example are obtained by measuring the similarity between it and all cluster centers.Experiments clearly validate the effectiveness of learning label-specific features for decomposition-based multi-class classification.
文摘Urban tree species provide various essential ecosystem services in cities,such as regulating urban temperatures,reducing noise,capturing carbon,and mitigating the urban heat island effect.The quality of these services is influenced by species diversity,tree health,and the distribution and the composition of trees.Traditionally,data on urban trees has been collected through field surveys and manual interpretation of remote sensing images.In this study,we evaluated the effectiveness of multispectral airborne laser scanning(ALS)data in classifying 24 common urban roadside tree species in Espoo,Finland.Tree crown structure information,intensity features,and spectral data were used for classification.Eight different machine learning algorithms were tested,with the extra trees(ET)algorithm performing the best,achieving an overall accuracy of 71.7%using multispectral LiDAR data.This result highlights that integrating structural and spectral information within a single framework can improve the classification accuracy.Future research will focus on identifying the most important features for species classification and developing algorithms with greater efficiency and accuracy.
文摘The accurate identification and classification of various power quality disturbances are keys to ensuring high-quality electrical energy. In this study, the statistical characteristics of the disturbance signal of wavelet transform coefficients and wavelet transform energy distribution constitute feature vectors. These vectors are then trained and tested using SVM multi-class algorithms. Experimental results demonstrate that the SVM multi-class algorithms, which use the Gaussian radial basis function, exponential radial basis function, and hyperbolic tangent function as basis functions, are suitable methods for power quality disturbance classification.
文摘Purpose:Interdisciplinary research has become a critical approach to addressing complex societal,economic,technological,and environmental challenges,driving innovation and integrating scientific knowledge.While interdisciplinarity indicators are widely used to evaluate research performance,the impact of classification granularity on these assessments remains underexplored.Design/methodology/approach:This study investigates how different levels of classification granularity-macro,meso,and micro-affect the evaluation of interdisciplinarity in research institutes.Using a dataset of 262 institutes from four major German non-university organizations(FHG,HGF,MPG,WGL)from 2018 to 2022,we examine inconsistencies in interdisciplinarity across levels,analyze ranking changes,and explore the influence of institutional fields and research focus(applied vs.basic).Findings:Our findings reveal significant inconsistencies in interdisciplinarity across classification levels,with rankings varying substantially.Notably,the Fraunhofer Society(FHG),which performs well at the macro level,experiences significant ranking declines at meso and micro levels.Normalizing interdisciplinarity by research field confirmed that these declines persist.The research focus of institutes,whether applied,basic,or mixed,does not significantly explain the observed ranking dynamics.Research limitations:This study has only considered the publication-based dimension of institutional interdisciplinarity and has not explored other aspects.Practical implications:The findings provide insights for policymakers,research managers,and scholars to better interpret interdisciplinarity metrics and support interdisciplinary research effectively.Originality/value:This study underscores the critical role of classification granularity in interdisciplinarity assessment and emphasizes the need for standardized approaches to ensure robust and fair evaluations.

文摘Both microRNA （miRNA） and mRNA expression profiles are important methods for cancer type classification. A comparative study of their classification performance will be helpful in choosing the means of classification. Here we evaluated the classification performance of miRNA and mRNA profiles using a new data mining approach based on a novel SVM （Support Vector Machines） based recursive fea- ture elimination （nRFE） algorithm. Computational experiments showed that information encoded in miRNAs is not sufficient to classify cancers; gut-derived samples cluster more accurately when using mRNA expression profiles compared with using miRNA profiles; and poorly differentiated tumors （PDT） could be classified by mRNA expression profiles at the accuracy of 100% versus 93.8% when using miRNA profiles. Furthermore, we showed that mRNA expression profiles have higher capacity in normal tissue classifications than miRNA. We concluded that classification performance using mRNA profiles is superior to that of miRNA profiles in multiple-class cancer classifications.

文摘Preservation of the crops depends on early and accurate detection of pests on crops as they cause several diseases decreasing crop production and quality. Several deep-learning techniques have been applied to overcome the issue of pest detection on crops. We have developed the YOLOCSP-PEST model for Pest localization and classification. With the Cross Stage Partial Network (CSPNET) backbone, the proposed model is a modified version of You Only Look Once Version 7 (YOLOv7) that is intended primarily for pest localization and classification. Our proposed model gives exceptionally good results under conditions that are very challenging for any other comparable models especially conditions where we have issues with the luminance and the orientation of the images. It helps farmers working out on their crops in distant areas to determine any infestation quickly and accurately on their crops which helps in the quality and quantity of the production yield. The model has been trained and tested on 2 datasets namely the IP102 data set and a local crop data set on both of which it has shown exceptional results. It gave us a mean average precision (mAP) of 88.40% along with a precision of 85.55% and a recall of 84.25% on the IP102 dataset meanwhile giving a mAP of 97.18% on the local data set along with a recall of 94.88% and a precision of 97.50%. These findings demonstrate that the proposed model is very effective in detecting real-life scenarios and can help in the production of crops improving the yield quality and quantity at the same time.

文摘The cleanliness of seed cotton plays a critical role in the pre-treatment of cotton textiles,and the removal of impurity during the harvesting process directly determines the quality and market value of cotton textiles.By fusing band combination optimization with deep learning,this study aims to achieve more efficient and accurate detection of film impurities in seed cotton on the production line.By applying hyperspectral imaging and a one-dimensional deep learning algorithm,we detect and classify impurities in seed cotton after harvest.The main categories detected include pure cotton,conveyor belt,film covering seed cotton,and film adhered to the conveyor belt.The proposed method achieves an impurity detection rate of 99.698%.To further ensure the feasibility and practical application potential of this strategy,we compare our results against existing mainstream methods.In addition,the model shows excellent recognition performance on pseudo-color images of real samples.With a processing time of 11.764μs per pixel from experimental data,it shows a much improved speed requirement while maintaining the accuracy of real production lines.This strategy provides an accurate and efficient method for removing impurities during cotton processing.
