Early detection and classification of bearing faults using support vector machine algorithm
2017
Bearings are one of the most critical elements in rotating machinery systems. Bearing faults are the main reason for failures in electrical motors and generators. Therefore, early bearing fault detection is very important to prevent critical system failures in the industry. In this paper, the support vector machine algorithm is used for early detection and classification of bearing faults. Both time and frequency domain features are used for training the support vector machine learning algorithm. The trained classier can be employed for real-time bearing fault detection and classification. By using the proposed method, the bearing faults can be detected at early stages, and the machine oper…
Data-driven Fault Diagnosis of Induction Motors Using a Stacked Autoencoder Network
2019
Current signatures from an induction motor are normally used to detect anomalies in the condition of the motor based on signal processing techniques. However, false alarms might occur if using signal processing analysis alone since missing frequencies associated with faults in spectral analyses does not guarantee that a motor is fully healthy. To enhance fault diagnosis performance, this paper proposes a machinelearning based method using in-built motor currents to detect common faults in induction motors, namely inter-turn stator winding-, bearing- and broken rotor bar faults. This approach utilizes single-phase current data, being pre-processed using Welch’s method for spectral density es…
An Artificial Bee Colony Approach for Classification of Remote Sensing Imagery
2018
This paper presents a novel Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) approach for supervised classification of remote sensing images. One proposes to apply an ABC algorithm to optimize the coefficients of the set of polynomial discriminant functions. We have experimented the proposed ABC-based classifier algorithm for a Landsat 7 ETM+ image database, evaluating the influence of the ABC model parameters on the classifier performances. Such ABC model parameters are: numbers of employed/onlooker/scout bees, number of epochs, and polynomial degree. One has compared the best ABC classifier Overall Accuracy (OA) with the performances obtained using a set of benchmark classifiers (NN, NP, RBF, and SVM). The re…
Image-Evoked Affect and its Impact on Eeg-Based Biometrics
2019
Electroencephalography (EEG) signals provide a representation of the brain’s activity patterns and have been recently exploited for user identification and authentication due to their uniqueness and their robustness to interception and artificial replication. Nevertheless, such signals are commonly affected by the individual’s emotional state. In this work, we examine the use of images as stimulus for acquiring EEG signals and study whether the use of images that evoke similar emotional responses leads to higher identification accuracy compared to images that evoke different emotional responses. Results show that identification accuracy increases when the system is trained with EEG recordin…
Automatic detection of hemangiomas using unsupervised segmentation of regions of interest
2016
In this paper we compare the performances of three automatic methods of identifying hemangioma regions in images: 1) unsupervised segmentation using the Otsu method, 2) Fuzzy C-means clustering (FCM) and 3) an improved region growing algorithm based on FCM (RG-FCM). For each image, the starting point of the algorithms is a rectangular region of interest (ROI) containing the hemangioma. For computing the performances of each method, the ROIs had been manually labeled in 2 classes: pixels of hemangioma and pixels of non-hemangioma. The computed scores are given separately for each image, as well as global performances across all ROIs for both classes. The best classification of non-hemangioma…
Machine learning–XGBoost analysis of language networks to classify patients with epilepsy
2017
Our goal was to apply a statistical approach to allow the identification of atypical language patterns and to differentiate patients with epilepsy from healthy subjects, based on their cerebral activity, as assessed by functional MRI (fMRI). Patients with focal epilepsy show reorganization or plasticity of brain networks involved in cognitive functions, inducing ‘atypical’ (compared to ‘typical’ in healthy people) brain profiles. Moreover, some of these patients suffer from drug-resistant epilepsy, and they undergo surgery to stop seizures. The neurosurgeon should only remove the zone generating seizures and must preserve cognitive functions to avoid deficits. To preserve functions, one sho…
Efficacy of an internet-based psychological intervention for problem gambling and gambling disorder: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
2021
Gambling Disorder is a prevalent non-substance use disorder, which contrasts with the low number of people requesting treatment. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) could help to enhance the dissemination of evidence-based treatments and considerably reduce the costs. The current study seeks to assess the efficacy of an online psychological intervention for people suffering from gambling problems in Spain. The proposed study will be a two-arm, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial. A total of 134 participants (problem and pathological gamblers) will be randomly allocated to a waiting list control group (N = 67) or an intervention group (N = 67). The intervention program i…
ActRec: A Wi-Fi-Based Human Activity Recognition System
2020
In this paper, we develop a Wi-Fi-based activity recognition system called ActRec, which can be used for the remote monitoring of elderly. ActRec comprises two parts: radio-frequency (RF) sensing and machine learning. In the RF sensing part, two laptops act as transmitter and receiver to record the channel transfer function of an indoor environment. This RF data is collected in the presence of seven human participants performing three activities: walking, falling, and sitting. The RF data containing the fingerprints of user activity is then pre-processed with various signal processing algorithms to reduce noise effects and to estimate the mean Doppler shift (MDS) of each data sample. We pro…
Association Between Exstrophy-epispadias Complex And Congenital Anomalies: A German Multicenter Study
2018
To further investigate associated anomalies in exstrophy-epispadias complex (EEC) patients congenital uro-rectal malformations network (CURE-Net) database was systematically screened. In literature the EEC comprises a spectrum of anomalies, mainly occurring "isolated" without additional congenital defects. Nevertheless, previous epidemiological studies indicated a higher association with renal, anorectal, and lower neurotubular anomalies, which may originate from the same developmental morphogenetic fields.Seventy-three prospectively (born since 2009) and 162 cross-sectional recruited EEC patients (born 1948-2008) were analyzed. Associated anomalies were derived from patient's medical data …
MRI radiomics-based machine-learning classification of bone chondrosarcoma.
2019
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic performance of machine learning for discrimination between low-grade and high-grade cartilaginous bone tumors based on radiomic parameters extracted from unenhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods We retrospectively enrolled 58 patients with histologically-proven low-grade/atypical cartilaginous tumor of the appendicular skeleton (n = 26) or higher-grade chondrosarcoma (n = 32, including 16 appendicular and 16 axial lesions). They were randomly divided into training (n = 42) and test (n = 16) groups for model tuning and testing, respectively. All tumors were manually segmented on T1-weighted and T2-weighted images by drawing bidimensiona…
