Abstract This article presents a multilayer hybrid classical-quantum classifier for predicting the lifetime of LiFePO4 batteries using early degradation data. The multilayer approach uses multiple variational quantum circuits in cascade, which allows more parameters to be used as weights in a single run hence increasing accuracy and provides faster cost function convergence for the optimizer. The proposed classifier predicts with an accuracy of 92.8% using data of the first four cycles. The effectiveness of the hybrid classifier is also presented by validating the performance using untrained data with an accuracy of 84%. We also demonstrate More >

Abstract As a new intelligent optimization method, brain storm optimization (BSO) algorithm has been widely concerned for its advantages in solving classical optimization problems. Recently, an evolutionary classification optimization model based on BSO algorithm has been proposed, which proves its effectiveness in solving the classification problem. However, BSO algorithm also has defects. For example, large-scale datasets make the structure of the model complex, which affects its classification performance. In addition, in the process of optimization, the information of the dominant solution cannot be well preserved in BSO, which leads to its limitations in classification performance. Moreover,… More >

Abstract Skin is the largest organ and outer enclosure of the integumentary system that protects the human body from pathogens. Among various cancers in the world, skin cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancer which can be either melanoma or non-melanoma. Melanoma cancers are very fatal compared with non-melanoma cancers but the chances of survival rate are high when diagnosed and treated earlier. The main aim of this work is to analyze and investigate the performance of Non-Subsampled Bendlet Transform (NSBT) on various classifiers for detecting melanoma from dermoscopic images. NSBT is a multiscale More >

Abstract Health care data mining is noteworthy in disease diagnosis and recognition procedures. There exist several potentials to further improve the performance of machine learning based-classification methods in healthcare data analysis. The selection of a substantial subset of features is one of the feasible approaches to achieve improved recognition results of classification methods in disease diagnosis prediction. In the present study, a novel combined approach of feature generation using latent semantic analysis (LSA) and selection using ranker search (RAS) has been proposed to improve the performance of classification methods in lymph disease diagnosis prediction. The performance… More >

Abstract The classification of the stability of surrounding rock is an uncertain system with multiple indices. The Multi-dimensional Cloud Model provides an advanced solution through the use of an improved model of One-dimensional Cloud Model. Setting each index as a one-dimensional attribute, the Multi-dimensional Cloud Model can set the digital characteristics of each index according to the cloud theory. The Multi-dimensional cloud generator can calculate the certainty of each grade, and then determine the stability levels of the surrounding rock according to the principle of maximum certainty. Using this model to 5 coal mine roadway surrounding… More >

Abstract Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) are installed in automobiles to monitor the pressure of the tyres. Tyre pressure is an important parameter for the comfort of the travelers and the safety of the passengers. Many methods have been researched and reported for TPMS. Amongst them, vibration-based indirect TPMS using machine learning techniques are the recent ones. The literature reported the results for a perfectly balanced wheel. However, if there is a small unbalance, which is very common in automobile wheels, ‘What will be the effect on the classification accuracy?’ is the question on hand. This More >

Abstract The COVID-19 has resulted in catastrophic situation and the deaths of millions of people all over the world. In this paper, the predictions of epidemiological propagation models, such as SIR and SEIR, are introduced to analyze the earlier COVID-19 propagation. The deep learning methods combined with transfer learning are familiar with classification-detection approaches based on chest X-ray and CT images are presented in detail. Besides, deep learning approaches have also been applied to lung ultrasound (LUS), which has been shown to be more sensitive than chest X-ray and CT images in detecting COVID-19.

Abstract Osteosarcoma is one of the most widespread causes of bone cancer globally and has a high mortality rate. Early diagnosis may increase the chances of treatment and survival however the process is time-consuming (reliability and complexity involved to extract the hand-crafted features) and largely depends on pathologists’ experience. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN—an end-to-end model) is known to be an alternative to overcome the aforesaid problems. Therefore, this work proposes a compact CNN architecture that has been rigorously explored on a Small Osteosarcoma histology Image Dataaseet (a high-class imbalanced dataset). Though, during training, class-imbalanced data can… More >

Abstract The exponential increase in new coronavirus disease 2019 ({COVID-19}) cases and deaths has made COVID-19 the leading cause of death in many countries. Thus, in this study, we propose an efficient technique for the automatic detection of COVID-19 and pneumonia based on X-ray images. A stacked denoising convolutional autoencoder (SDCA) model was proposed to classify X-ray images into three classes: normal, pneumonia, and {COVID-19}. The SDCA model was used to obtain a good representation of the input data and extract the relevant features from noisy images. The proposed model’s architecture mainly composed of eight autoencoders, More >

Abstract Retroviruses are a large group of infectious agents with similar virion structures and replication mechanisms. AIDS, cancer, neurologic disorders, and other clinical conditions can all be fatal due to retrovirus infections. Detection of retroviruses by genome sequence is a biological problem that benefits from computational methods. The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) promotes science and health by making biomedical and genomic data available to the public. This research aims to classify the different types of rotavirus genome sequences available at the NCBI. First, nucleotide pattern occurrences are counted in the given genome sequences at… More >
