An integrated fuzzy cells-classifier
2007
This paper introduces a genetic algorithm able to combine different classifiers based on different distance functions. The use of a genetic algorithm is motivated by the fact that the combination phase is based on the optimization of a vote strategy. The method has been applied to the classification of four types of biological cells, results show an improvement of the recognition rate using the genetic algorithm combination strategy compared with the recognition rate of each single classifier.
A genetic integrated fuzzy classifier
2005
This paper introduces a new classifier, that is based on fuzzy-integration schemes controlled by a genetic optimisation procedure. Two different types of integration are proposed here, and are validated by experiments on real data sets of biological cells. The performance of our classifier is tested against a feed-forward neural network and a Support Vector Machine. Results show the good performance and robustness of the integrated classifier strategies.
Combining one class fuzzy KNN’s
2007
This paper introduces a parallel combination of N > 2 one class fuzzy KNN (FKNN) classifiers. The classifier combination consists of a new optimization procedure based on a genetic algorithm applied to FKNN’s, that differ in the kind of similarity used. We tested the integration techniques in the case of N = 5 similarities that have been recently introduced to face with categorical data sets. The assessment of the method has been carried out on two public data set, the Masquerading User Data (www.schonlau.net) and the badges database on the UCI Machine Learning Repository (http://www.ics.uci.edu/~mlearn/). Preliminary results show the better performance obtained by the fuzzy integration …
2D motif basis applied to the classification of digital images
2016
The classification of raw data often involves the problem of selecting the appropriate set of features to represent the input data. Different types of features can be extracted from the input dataset, but only some of them are actually relevant for the classification process. Since relevant features are often unknown in real-world problems, many candidate features are usually introduced. This degrades both the speed and the predictive accuracy of the classifier due to the presence of redundancy in the set of candidate features. Recently, a special class of bidimensional motifs, i.e. 2D motif basis has been introduced in the literature. 2D motif basis showed to be powerful in capturing the r…
A Machine Learning Approach for Fall Detection Based on the Instantaneous Doppler Frequency
2019
Modern societies are facing an ageing problem that is accompanied by increasing healthcare costs. 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 the development of radio-frequency-based fall detection systems, which do not require the user to wear any device and can detect falls without compromising the user's privacy. For the design of such systems, we present an activity simulator that generates the complex path gain of indoor channels in the presence of one person performing three different activities: slow fall, fast fall, and walking. We have developed a mac…
HyperLabelMe : A Web Platform for Benchmarking Remote-Sensing Image Classifiers
2017
HyperLabelMe is a web platform that allows the automatic benchmarking of remote-sensing image classifiers. To demonstrate this platform's attributes, we collected and harmonized a large data set of labeled multispectral and hyperspectral images with different numbers of classes, dimensionality, noise sources, and levels. The registered user can download training data pairs (spectra and land cover/use labels) and submit the predictions for unseen testing spectra. The system then evaluates the accuracy and robustness of the classifier, and it reports different scores as well as a ranked list of the best methods and users. The system is modular, scalable, and ever-growing in data sets and clas…
Introducing ARTMO's Machine-Learning Classification Algorithms Toolbox: Application to Plant-Type Detection in a Semi-Steppe Iranian Landscape.
2022
Accurate plant-type (PT) detection forms an important basis for sustainable land management maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services. In this sense, Sentinel-2 satellite images of the Copernicus program offer spatial, spectral, temporal, and radiometric characteristics with great potential for mapping and monitoring PTs. In addition, the selection of a best-performing algorithm needs to be considered for obtaining PT classification as accurate as possible . To date, no freely downloadable toolbox exists that brings the diversity of the latest supervised machine-learning classification algorithms (MLCAs) together into a single intuitive user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI). To…
Incremental Gaussian Discriminant Analysis based on Graybill and Deal weighted combination of estimators for brain tumour diagnosis
2011
In the last decade, machine learning (ML) techniques have been used for developing classifiers for automatic brain tumour diagnosis. However, the development of these ML models rely on a unique training set and learning stops once this set has been processed. Training these classifiers requires a representative amount of data, but the gathering, preprocess, and validation of samples is expensive and time-consuming. Therefore, for a classical, non-incremental approach to ML, it is necessary to wait long enough to collect all the required data. In contrast, an incremental learning approach may allow us to build an initial classifier with a smaller number of samples and update it incrementally…
Domain separation for efficient adaptive active learning
2011
This paper proposes a procedure aimed at efficiently adapting a classifier trained on a source image to a similar target image. The adaptation is carried out through active queries in the target domain following a strategy particularly designed for the case where class distributions have shifted between the two images. We first suggest a pre-selection of candidate pixels issued from the target image by keeping only those samples appearing to be lying in a region of the input space not yet covered by the existing ground truth (source domain pixels). Then, exploiting a classifier integrating instance weights, active queries are performed on the target image. As the inclusion to the training s…
SIMULATION EXPERIMENTS WITH MULTIPLE GROUP LINEAR AND QUADRATIC DISCRIMINANT ANALYSIS
1973
Summary A simulation program is described which can be performed to obtain estimates of the different types of misclassification probabilities for multiple group linear and quadratic discriminant analysis. The program can be used to study how these errors depend on sample sizes and the different parameters of the multivariate normal distribution. Examples for several simulation experiments are given and possible conclusions are discussed.
