Fall Detection Based on the Instantaneous Doppler Frequency : A Machine Learning Approach
2019
Modern societies are facing an ageing problem which comes with increased cost of healthcare. A major share of this ever-increasing cost is due to fall related injuries, which urges the development of fall detection systems. In this context, this paper paves the way for building of a radio-frequency-based fall detection system. This paper presents an activity simulator that generates the complex channel gain of indoor channels in the presence of one person performing three different activities, namely, slow fall, fast fall, and walking. We built a machine learning framework for activity recognition based on the complex channel gain. We assess the recognition accuracy of three different class…
Adaptive Continuous Feature Binarization for Tsetlin Machines Applied to Forecasting Dengue Incidences in the Philippines
2020
The Tsetlin Machine (TM) is a recent interpretable machine learning algorithm that requires relatively modest computational power, yet attains competitive accuracy in several benchmarks. TMs are inherently binary; however, many machine learning problems are continuous. While binarization of continuous data through brute-force thresholding has yielded promising accuracy, such an approach is computationally expensive and hinders extrapolation. In this paper, we address these limitations by standardizing features to support scale shifts in the transition from training data to real-world operation, typical for e.g. forecasting. For scalability, we employ sampling to reduce the number of binariz…
OmniFlowNet: a Perspective Neural Network Adaptation for Optical Flow Estimation in Omnidirectional Images
2021
International audience; Spherical cameras and the latest image processing techniques open up new horizons. In particular, methods based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) now give excellent results for optical flow estimation on perspective images. However, these approaches are highly dependent on their architectures and training datasets. This paper proposes to benefit from years of improvement in perspective images optical flow estimation and to apply it to omnidirectional ones without training on new datasets. Our network, OmniFlowNet, is built on a CNN specialized in perspective images. Its convolution operation is adapted to be consistent with the equirectangular projection. Teste…
A 4K-Input High-Speed Winner-Take-All (WTA) Circuit with Single-Winner Selection for Change-Driven Vision Sensors
2019
Winner-Take-All (WTA) circuits play an important role in applications where a single element must be selected according to its relevance. They have been successfully applied in neural networks and vision sensors. These applications usually require a large number of inputs for the WTA circuit, especially for vision applications where thousands to millions of pixels may compete to be selected. WTA circuits usually exhibit poor response-time scaling with the number of competitors, and most of the current WTA implementations are designed to work with less than 100 inputs. Another problem related to the large number of inputs is the difficulty to select just one winner, since many competitors ma…
A Flexible 4G/5G Control Platform for Fingerprint-based Indoor Localization
2019
In this paper we propose a centralized SDN platform devised to control indoor femto-cells for supporting multiple network-wide optimizations and applications. In particular, we focus on an example localization application in order to enlighten the main functionalities and potentialities of the approach. First, we demonstrate that the platform can be exploited for reconfiguring some operational procedures, based on standard signalling mechanisms, at the programmable femto-cells; these procedures enable customized logics for collecting measurements reports from mobile terminals. Second, assuming that high-density devices such as smart objects are disseminated in the controlled indoor space, w…
A Multi-layer Feed Forward Neural Network Approach for Diagnosing Diabetes
2018
Diabetes is one of the worlds major health problems according to the World Health Organization. Recent surveys indicate that there is an increase in the number of diabetic patients resulting in an increase in serious complications such as heart attacks and deaths. Early diagnosis of diabetes, particularly of type 2 diabetes, is critical since it is vital for patients to get insulin treatments. However, diagnoses could be difficult especially in areas with few medical doctors. It is, therefore, a need for practical methods for the public for early detection and prevention with minimal intervention from medical professionals. A promising method for automated diagnosis is the use of artificial…
Intrusion Detection with Interpretable Rules Generated Using the Tsetlin Machine
2020
The rapid deployment in information and communication technologies and internet-based services have made anomaly based network intrusion detection ever so important for safeguarding systems from novel attack vectors. To this date, various machine learning mechanisms have been considered to build intrusion detection systems. However, achieving an acceptable level of classification accuracy while preserving the interpretability of the classification has always been a challenge. In this paper, we propose an efficient anomaly based intrusion detection mechanism based on the Tsetlin Machine (TM). We have evaluated the proposed mechanism over the Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining 1999 (KDD’99) …
The Use of Artificial Intelligence in Disaster Management - A Systematic Literature Review
2019
Whenever a disaster occurs, users in social media, sensors, cameras, satellites, and the like generate vast amounts of data. Emergency responders and victims use this data for situational awareness, decision-making, and safe evacuations. However, making sense of the generated information under time-bound situations is a challenging task as the amount of data can be significant, and there is a need for intelligent systems to analyze, process, and visualize it. With recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI), numerous researchers have begun exploring AI, machine learning (ML), and deep learning (DL) techniques for big data analytics in managing disasters efficiently. This paper adopt…
An Encrypted Traffic Classification Framework Based on Convolutional Neural Networks and Stacked Autoencoders
2020
In recent years, deep learning-based encrypted traffic classification has proven to be effective; especially, using neural networks to extract features from raw traffic to classify encrypted traffic. However, most of the neural networks need a fixed-sized input, so that the raw traffic need to be trimmed. This will cause the loss of some information; for example, we do not know the number of packets in a session. To solve these problems, a framework, which implements both a convolutional neural network (CNN) and a stacked autoencoder (SAE), is proposed in this paper. This framework uses a CNN to extract high-level features from raw network traffic and uses an SAE to encode the 26 statistica…
Estimation of Granger causality through Artificial Neural Networks: applications to physiological systems and chaotic electronic oscillators
2021
One of the most challenging problems in the study of complex dynamical systems is to find the statistical interdependencies among the system components. Granger causality (GC) represents one of the most employed approaches, based on modeling the system dynamics with a linear vector autoregressive (VAR) model and on evaluating the information flow between two processes in terms of prediction error variances. In its most advanced setting, GC analysis is performed through a state-space (SS) representation of the VAR model that allows to compute both conditional and unconditional forms of GC by solving only one regression problem. While this problem is typically solved through Ordinary Least Sq…
