In this study, we propose cross entropy as a performance evaluation metric for image classifier models and apply it to the CT image classification of lung cancer. A convolutional neural network is employed as the deep neural network (DNN) image classifier, with the residual network (ResNet) 50 chosen as the DNN archi-tecture. The image data used comprise a lung CT image set. Two classification models are built from datasets with varying amounts of data, and lung cancer is categorized into four classes using 10-fold cross-validation. Furthermore, we employ t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding to visually explain the data distribution after classification. Experimental results demonstrate that cross en-tropy is a highly useful metric for evaluating the reliability of image classifier models. It is noted that for a more comprehensive evaluation of model perfor-mance, combining with other evaluation metrics is considered essential. .展开更多

This paper presents two types of HanmanNets using the information set concept for the derivation of deep information set features from ResNet by modifying its kernel functions to yield Type-1 HanmanNets and then AlexNet, GoogLeNet and VGG-16 by changing their feature maps to yield Type-2 HanmanNets. The two types of HanmanNets exploit the final feature maps of these architectures in the generation of deep information set features from mammograms for their classification using the Hanman Transform Classifier.

The highest accuracy of 100% is achieved for the multi-class classifications on the mini-MIAS database thus surpassing the results in the literature. Validation of the results is done by the expert radiologists to show their clinical relevance.展开更多

In the new method, the base classifiers operate on different feature spaces and their types depend on different measures of between-class separability. The uncertainty measures corresponding to each output of each base classifier are induced from the established decision tables （DTs） in the form of mass function in the Dempster-Shafer theory （DST）. Furthermore, an effective fusion framework is built at the feature-decision level on the basis of a generalized rough set model and the DST.

Our objective ...An exhaustive study has been conducted on face videos from YouTube video dataset for real time face recognition using the features from deep learning architectures and also the information set features. Our objective is to cash in on a plethora of deep learning architectures and information set features. The deep learning architectures dig in features from several layers of convolution and max-pooling layers though a placement of these layers is architecture dependent. On the other hand, the information set features depend on the entropy function for the generation of features. A comparative study of deep learning and information set features is made using the well-known classifiers in addition to developing Constrained Hanman Transform (CHT) and Weighted Hanman Transform (WHT) classifiers. It is demonstrated that information set features and deep learning features have comparable performance. However, sigmoid-based information set features using the new classifiers are found to outperform MobileNet features.展开更多

In the method, all base classifiers may be allowed to operate in different measurement/feature spaces to make the most of diverse classification information. The weights assigned to each output of a base classifier are estimated by the separability of training sample sets in relevant feature space. For this purpose, some decision tables （DTs） are established in terms of the diverse feature sets. And then the uncertainty measures of the separability are induced, in the form of mass functions in Dempster-Shafer theory （DST）, from each DTs based on generalized rough set model. From the mass functions, all the weights are calculated by a modified heuristic fusion function and assigned dynamically to each classifier varying with its output. The comparison experiment is performed on the hyperspectral remote sensing images. And the experimental results show that the performance of the classification can be improved by using the proposed method compared with the plurality voting （PV）.展开更多

文摘Multiple classifier system exhibits strong classification capacity compared with single classifiers,but they require significant computational resources.Selective ensemble system aims to attain equivalent or better classification accuracy with fewer classifiers.However,current methods fail to identify precise solutions for constructing an ensemble classifier.In this study,we propose an ensemble classifier design technique based on the perturbation binary salp swarm algorithm(ECDPB).Considering that extreme learning machines(ELMs)have rapid learning rates and good generalization ability,they can serve as the basic classifier for creating multiple candidates while using fewer computational resources.Meanwhile,we introduce a combined diversity measure by taking the complementarity and accuracy of ELMs into account;it is used to identify the ELMs that have good diversity and low error.In addition,we propose an ECDPB with powerful optimizing ability;it is employed to find the optimal subset of ELMs.The selected ELMs can then be used to forman ensemble classifier.Experiments on 10 benchmark datasets have been conducted,and the results demonstrate that the proposed ECDPB delivers superior classification capacity when compared with alternative methods.
文摘An exhaustive study has been conducted on face videos from YouTube video dataset for real time face recognition using the features from deep learning architectures and also the information set features. Our objective is to cash in on a plethora of deep learning architectures and information set features. The deep learning architectures dig in features from several layers of convolution and max-pooling layers though a placement of these layers is architecture dependent. On the other hand, the information set features depend on the entropy function for the generation of features. A comparative study of deep learning and information set features is made using the well-known classifiers in addition to developing Constrained Hanman Transform (CHT) and Weighted Hanman Transform (WHT) classifiers. It is demonstrated that information set features and deep learning features have comparable performance. However, sigmoid-based information set features using the new classifiers are found to outperform MobileNet features.
文摘Some questions regarding the analysis of classifiers and classifier constructions are raised in this paper.The classifier,as a mere adjunct adjoining to the head,cannot serve as the head of the noun phrase containing it,and as a result,it cannot project as ClP or nP.Under this approach,the DP analysis and the classifier construction theory are further refined.The constituents which precede and follow the classifier are analyzed in terms of their syntactic functions,semantic relations,linear features,feature assignment and syntactic occurrence in order to represent the classifier construction with the X-bar phrase structure theory appropriately and correctly and present a universal approach to classifier constructions in various languages.
文摘Mapping and monitoring the distribution of croplands and crop types support policymakers and international organizations by reducing the risks to food security,notably from climate change and,for that purpose,remote sensing is routinely used.However,identifying specific crop types,cropland,and cropping patterns using space-based observations is challenging because different crop types and cropping patterns have similarity spectral signatures.This study applied a methodology to identify cropland and specific crop types,including tobacco,wheat,barley,and gram,as well as the following cropping patterns:wheat-tobacco,wheat-gram,wheat-barley,and wheat-maize,which are common in Gujranwala District,Pakistan,the study region.The methodology consists of combining optical remote sensing images from Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8 with Machine Learning(ML)methods,namely a Decision Tree Classifier(DTC)and a Random Forest(RF)algorithm.The best time-periods for differentiating cropland from other land cover types were identified,and then Sentinel-2 and Landsat 8 NDVI-based time-series were linked to phenological parameters to determine the different crop types and cropping patterns over the study region using their temporal indices and ML algorithms.The methodology was subsequently evaluated using Landsat images,crop statistical data for 2020 and 2021,and field data on cropping patterns.The results highlight the high level of accuracy of the methodological approach presented using Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8 images,together with ML techniques,for mapping not only the distribution of cropland,but also crop types and cropping patterns when validated at the county level.These results reveal that this methodology has benefits for monitoring and evaluating food security in Pakistan,adding to the evidence base of other studies on the use of remote sensing to identify crop types and cropping patterns in other countries.

文摘To improve the performance of multiple classifier system, a knowledge discovery based dynamic weighted voting （KD-DWV） is proposed based on knowledge discovery. In the method, all base classifiers may be allowed to operate in different measurement/feature spaces to make the most of diverse classification information. The weights assigned to each output of a base classifier are estimated by the separability of training sample sets in relevant feature space. For this purpose, some decision tables （DTs） are established in terms of the diverse feature sets. And then the uncertainty measures of the separability are induced, in the form of mass functions in Dempster-Shafer theory （DST）, from each DTs based on generalized rough set model. From the mass functions, all the weights are calculated by a modified heuristic fusion function and assigned dynamically to each classifier varying with its output. The comparison experiment is performed on the hyperspectral remote sensing images. And the experimental results show that the performance of the classification can be improved by using the proposed method compared with the plurality voting （PV）.

文摘This paper considers the problem of target and jamming recognition for the pulse Doppler radar fuze(PDRF).To solve the problem,the matched filter outputs of the PDRF under the action of target and jamming are analyzed.Then,the frequency entropy and peak-to-peak ratio are extracted from the matched filter output of the PDRF,and the time-frequency joint feature is constructed.Based on the time-frequency joint feature,the naive Bayesian classifier(NBC)with minimal risk is established for target and jamming recognition.To improve the adaptability of the proposed method in complex environments,an online update process that adaptively modifies the classifier in the duration of the work of the PDRF is proposed.The experiments show that the PDRF can maintain high recognition accuracy when the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)decreases and the jamming-to-signal ratio(JSR)increases.Moreover,the applicable analysis shows that he ONBCMR method has low computational complexity and can fully meet the real-time requirements of PDRF.
