Being known as an irreversible neurodegenerative disease which has no cure to date, detection and classification of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in its early stages is significant so that the deterioration process can be slowed down. Generally, AD can be classified into three major stages, ranging from the “normal control” stage with no symptoms shown, the…

In this paper, we determine the feasibility of differentiating between the heart rate patterns of Macaca fascicularis and human infants by comparing pertinent hyperparameters. This verification process was undertaken to ascertain the suitability of Macaca fascicularis heart rate data as a testbed for evaluating heart rate parameter privacy safeguarding methodologies. The biological characteristics of Macaca…

Mental stress assessment remains riddled with biases caused by subjective reports and individual differences across societal backgrounds. To objectively determine the presence or absence of mental stress, there is a need to move away from the traditional subjective methods of self-report questionnaires and interviews. Previously, it has been evidence that EEG Oscillations can discriminate mental…

An ensemble method is a Machine Learning (ML) algorithm that aggregates the predictions of multiple estimators or models. The purpose of an ensemble module is to provide better predictive performance than any single contributing model. This can be achieved by producing a predictive model with reduced variance using bagging, and bias using boosting. The Tree-Based…

Sleep stage performs a vital role in people’s daily lives in the detection of sleep-related diseases. Conventional automated sleep stage classifier models are not efficient due to the complexity linked to the design of mathematical models and extraction of hand-engineering features. Further, quick oscillations amongst sleep stages frequently lead to indistinct feature extraction, which might…

Social networks have become a valuable platform for tracking and analyzing Internet users’ feelings.

We propose a novel framework exploiting domain-aware aspect similarity for solving the multi- source cross-domain sentiment classification problem under the constraint of little labeled data. Existing works mainly focus on identifying the common sentiment features from all domains with weighting based on the coarse-grained domain similarity. We argue that it might not provide an accurate…

This work is concerned with the detection and classification of birds that have applications like monitoring extinct and migrated birds. Recent computer vision algorithms can precise this kind of task but still there are some dominant issues like low light, very little differences between subspecies of birds, etc are to be studied. As Convolution Neural…

In this article supervised classification methods for the analysis of local Panamanian rice crops using Near-Infrared (NIR) spectral signatures are assessed. Neural network ( Multilayer Perceptron-MLP) and Tree based (Decision Trees-DT and Random Forest-RF) algorithms are used as regression and supervised classification of the spectral signatures by rice varieties, against other crops and by plant…

Computer Vision is a domain which deals with the challenge of enabling technology with vision capabilities. This goal is accomplished with the use of Convolutional Neural Networks. They are the backbone of implementing vision applications on embedded systems. They are complex but highly efficient in extracting features, thus, enabling embedded systems to perform computer vision…

Despite the significant progress made in data mining technologies in recent years, breast cancer risk prediction and diagnosis at an early stage using DNA microarray technology still a real challenging task. This challenge comes especially from the high-dimensionality in gene expression data, i.e., an enormous number of genes versus a few tens of subjects (samples).…

Modulation type classification is a part of waveform estimation required to employ spectrum sharing scenarios like dynamic spectrum access that allow more efficient spectrum utilization. In this work multiple classification features, feature extraction, and classification algorithms for modulation type classification have been studied and compared in terms of classification speed and accuracy to suggest the…

To create a Virtual Reality (VR) system for Wing Chun’s basic hand movement training, capturing, and classifying movement data is an important step. The main goal of this paper is to find the best possible method of classifying hand movement, particularly Wing Chun’s basic hand movements, to be used in the VR training system. This…
