A case study on feature sensitivity for audio event classification using support vector machines
2016
Automatic recognition of multiple acoustic events is an interesting problem in machine listening that generalizes the classical speech/non-speech or speech/music classification problem. Typical audio streams contain a diversity of sound events that carry important and useful information on the acoustic environment and context. Classification is usually performed by means of hidden Markov models (HMMs) or support vector machines (SVMs) considering traditional sets of features based on Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) and their temporal derivatives, as well as the energy from auditory-inspired filterbanks. However, while these features are routinely used by many systems, it is not …
Quantification and classification of high-resolution magic angle spinning data for brain tumor diagnosis.
2007
The goal of this work is to propose a complete protocol (preprocessing, processing and classification) for classifying brain tumors with proton high-resolution magic-angle spinning ((1)H HR-MAS) data. The different steps of the procedure are detailed and discussed. Feature extraction techniques such as peak integration, including also the automated quantitation method AQSES, were combined with linear (LDA) and non-linear (least-squares support vector machine or LS-SVM) classifiers. Classification accuracy was assessed using a stratified random sampling scheme. The results suggest that LS-SVM performs better than LDA while AQSES performs better than the standard peak integration feature extr…
Decision Committee Learning with Dynamic Integration of Classifiers
2000
Decision committee learning has demonstrated spectacular success in reducing classification error from learned classifiers. These techniques develop a classifier in the form of a committee of subsidiary classifiers. The combination of outputs is usually performed by majority vote. Voting, however, has a shortcoming. It is unable to take into account local expertise. When a new instance is difficult to classify, then the average classifier will give a wrong prediction, and the majority vote will more probably result in a wrong prediction. Instead of voting, dynamic integration of classifiers can be used, which is based on the assumption that each committee member is best inside certain subar…
Dynamic Integration of Decision Committees
2000
Decision committee learning has demonstrated outstanding success in reducing classification error with an ensemble of classifiers. In a way a decision committee is a classifier formed upon an ensemble of subsidiary classifiers. Voting, which is commonly used to produce the final decision of committees has, however, a shortcoming. It is unable to take into account local expertise. When a new instance is difficult to classify, then it easily happens that only the minority of the classifiers will succeed, and the majority voting will quite probably result in a wrong classification. We suggest that dynamic integration of classifiers is used instead of majority voting in decision committees. Our…

Author Correction: Binge Drinking among adolescents is related to the development of Alcohol Use Disorders: results from a Cross-Sectional Study
2018
Binge drinking (BD) is a common pattern of alcohol consumption among adolescents. At present few data are available on the possible relationship between BD and alcohol use disorders (AUD) in adolescents. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of BD and relationship between BD behavior and AUD among adolescents. A total of 2704 students attending 10 purposively selected high schools from three Italian provinces were surveyed. Questionnaires regarding socio-demographic data, pattern and amount of alcohol intake, smoking habits, use of illicit drugs, and physical activity were administered. AUD and affective disorders were also evaluated. Alcohol intake was reported by 2126 partici…
