Diagnóstico de Enfermedades Card´ıacas con los algoritmos supervisados Naives Bayesian

2020

Las enfermedades cardíacas son la principal causa de muerte en la actualidad. Este paper contrasta la performance de los diferentes algoritmos supervisados de Machine Learning, que tienen aplicaciones en el a´rea de la medicina, con los algoritmos supervisados Naives Bayes para ayudar a clasificar pacientes propensos a sufrir enfermedades cardíacas. Como fuente de datos se usan 303 instancias de pacientes con diferentes características que fueron analizados al procesar los datos con los respectivos algoritmos. Los resultados con el algoritmo de Naives Bayes son pro- metedores, obteniendo una precisio´n del 86,81 %, usando la fuente de datos mencionada. Esta familia de algoritmos tiene un me…

An Heuristic Approach for the Training Dataset Selection in Fingerprint Classification Tasks

2015

Fingerprint classification is a key issue in automatic fingerprint identification systems. It aims to reduce the item search time within the fingerprint database without affecting the accuracy rate. In this paper an heuristic approach using only the directional image information for the training dataset selection in fingerprint classification tasks is described. The method combines a Fuzzy C-Means clustering method and a Naive Bayes Classifier and it is composed of three modules: the first module builds the working datasets, the second module extracts the training images dataset and, finally, the third module classifies fingerprint images in four classes. Unlike literature approaches using …

New Procedures of Pattern Classification for Vibration-Based Diagnostics via Neural Network

2014

In this paper, the new distance-based embedding procedures of pattern classification for vibration-based diagnostics of gas turbine engines via neural network are proposed. Diagnostics of gas turbine engines is important because of the high cost of engine failure and the possible loss of human life. Engine monitoring is performed using either ‘on-line’ systems, mounted within the aircraft, that perform analysis of engine data during flight, or ‘off-line’ ground-based systems, to which engine data is downloaded from the aircraft at the end of a flight. Typically, the health of a rotating system such as a gas turbine is manifested by its vibration level. Efficiency of gas turbine monitoring s…

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…

The fundamental theory of optimal "Anti-Bayesian" parametric pattern classification using order statistics criteria

2013

Author's version of an article in the journal: Pattern Recognition. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.patcog.2012.07.004 The gold standard for a classifier is the condition of optimality attained by the Bayesian classifier. Within a Bayesian paradigm, if we are allowed to compare the testing sample with only a single point in the feature space from each class, the optimal Bayesian strategy would be to achieve this based on the (Mahalanobis) distance from the corresponding means. The reader should observe that, in this context, the mean, in one sense, is the most central point in the respective distribution. In this paper, we shall show that we can obtain opti…

A Novel Technique for Fingerprint Classification based on Fuzzy C-Means and Naive Bayes Classifier

2014

Fingerprint classification is a key issue in automatic fingerprint identification systems. One of the main goals is to reduce the item search time within the fingerprint database without affecting the accuracy rate. In this paper, a novel technique, based on topological information, for efficient fingerprint classification is described. The proposed system is composed of two independent modules: the former module, based on Fuzzy C-Means, extracts the best set of training images, the latter module, based on Fuzzy C-Means and Naive Bayes classifier, assigns a class to each processed fingerprint using only directional image information. The proposed approach does not require any image enhancem…

Detection and Recognition of Target Signals in Radar Clutter via Adaptive CFAR Tests

2006

In this paper, adaptive CFAR tests are described which allow one to classify radar clutter into one of several major categories, including bird, weather, and target classes. These tests do not require the arbitrary selection of priors as in the Bayesian classifier. The decision rule of the recognition techniques is in the form of associating the p-dimensional vector of observations on the object with one of the m specific classes. When there is the possibility that the object does not belong to any of the m classes, then this object is to be classified as belonging to one of the m classes or to class m+1 whose distribution is unspecified. The tests are invariant to intensity changes in the …

A Study on Classification Methods Applied to Sentiment Analysis

2013

Sentiment analysis is a new area of research in data mining that concerns the detection of opinions and/or sentiments in texts. This work focuses on the application and the comparison of three classification techniques over a text corpus composed of reviews of commercial products in order to detect opinions about them. The chosen domain is about "perfumes", and user opinions composing the corpus are written in Italian language. The proposed approach is completely data-driven: a Term Frequency / Inverse Document Frequency (TFIDF) terms selection procedure has been applied in order to make computation more efficient, to improve the classification results and to manage some issues related to t…

Methodological Approach for Messages Classification on Twitter Within E-Government Area

2018

The constant growth in the numbers of Social Media users is a reality of the past few years. Companies, governments and researchers focus on extracting useful data from Social Media. One of the most important things we can extract from the messages transmitted from one user to another is the sentiment—positive, negative or neutral—regarding the subject of the conversation. There are many studies on how to classify these messages, but all of them need a huge amount of data already classified for training, data not available for Romanian language texts. We present a case study in which we use a Naive Bayes classifier trained on an English short text corpus on several thousand Romanian texts. …
