Variability of Classification Results in Data with High Dimensionality and Small Sample Size
2021
The study focuses on the analysis of biological data containing information on the number of genome sequences of intestinal microbiome bacteria before and after antibiotic use. The data have high dimensionality (bacterial taxa) and a small number of records, which is typical of bioinformatics data. Classification models induced on data sets like this usually are not stable and the accuracy metrics have high variance. The aim of the study is to create a preprocessing workflow and a classification model that can perform the most accurate classification of the microbiome into groups before and after the use of antibiotics and lessen the variability of accuracy measures of the classifier. To ev…
Detection of Ventricular Fibrillation Using the Image from Time-Frequency Representation and Combined Classifiers without Feature Extraction
2018
Due the fact that the required therapy to treat Ventricular Fibrillation (V F) is aggressive (electric shock), the lack of a proper detection and recovering therapy could cause serious injuries to the patient or trigger a ventricular fibrillation, or even death. This work describes the development of an automatic diagnostic system for the detection of the occurrence of V F in real time by means of the time-frequency representation (T F R) image of the ECG. The main novelties are the use of the T F R image as input for a classification process, as well as the use of combined classifiers. The feature extraction stage is eliminated and, together with the use of specialized binary classifiers, …
Using the Tsetlin Machine to Learn Human-Interpretable Rules for High-Accuracy Text Categorization With Medical Applications
2019
Medical applications challenge today's text categorization techniques by demanding both high accuracy and ease-of-interpretation. Although deep learning has provided a leap ahead in accuracy, this leap comes at the sacrifice of interpretability. To address this accuracy-interpretability challenge, we here introduce, for the first time, a text categorization approach that leverages the recently introduced Tsetlin Machine. In all brevity, we represent the terms of a text as propositional variables. From these, we capture categories using simple propositional formulae, such as: if "rash" and "reaction" and "penicillin" then Allergy. The Tsetlin Machine learns these formulae from a labelled tex…
Multilayer perceptron training with multiobjective memetic optimization
2016
Machine learning tasks usually come with several mutually conflicting objectives. One example is the simplicity of the learning device contrasted with the accuracy of its performance after learning. Another common example is the trade-off that must often be made between the rate of false positive and false negative predictions in diagnostic applications. For computer programs that learn from data, these objectives are formulated as mathematical functions, each of which describes one facet of the desired learning outcome. Even functions that intend to optimize the same facet may behave in a subtly different and mutually conflicting way, depending on the task and the dataset being examined. Mul…
Intelligent Tutoring System in Archaeology
2019
A method that uses artificial intelligence for the taxonomical characterization of bone remains in archaeological sites is shown. The main goal of this method is to help students and archaeologists in the classification of samples in order to improve the efficiency of their tasks during the campaigns at archaeological sites. The development of the system implies several steps: training of classification algorithms, development of a user-friendly interface and implementation of gamification techniques to improve learning motivation and the efficiency of the system in the learning process. This system will help archaeology students to classify new samples. In this prototype, by introducing ch…
