Abstract Multitasking and multioutput neural networks models jointly learn related classification tasks from a shared structure. Hard parameters sharing is a multitasking approach that shares hidden layers between multiple task-specific outputs. The output layers’ weights are essential in transforming aggregated neurons outputs into tasks labels. This paper redirects the multioutput network research to prove that the ensemble of output layers prediction can improve network performance in classifying multi-label classification tasks. The network’s output layers initialized with different weights simulate multiple semi-independent classifiers that can make non-identical label sets predictions for the same instance. The ensemble of a multi-output neural network that… More >

Abstract Diabetics is one of the world’s most common diseases which are caused by continued high levels of blood sugar. The risk of diabetics can be lowered if the diabetic is found at the early stage. In recent days, several machine learning models were developed to predict the diabetic presence at an early stage. In this paper, we propose an embedded-based machine learning model that combines the split-vote method and instance duplication to leverage an imbalanced dataset called PIMA Indian to increase the prediction of diabetics. The proposed method uses both the concept of over-sampling and under-sampling along with model weighting… More >

Abstract Astrocytoma IV or glioblastoma is one of the fatal and dangerous types of brain tumors. Early detection of brain tumor increases the survival rate and helps in reducing the fatality rate. Various imaging modalities have been used for diagnosing by expert radiologists, and Medical Resonance Image (MRI) is considered a better option for detecting brain tumors as MRI is a non-invasive technique and provides better visualization of the brain region. One of the challenging issues is to identify the tumorous region from the MRI scans correctly. Manual segmentation is performed by medical experts, which is a time-consuming task and got… More >

Abstract With the rapid development of personalized services, major websites have launched a recommendation module in recent years. This module will recommend information you are interested in based on your viewing history and other information, thereby improving the economic benefits of the website and increasing the number of users. This paper has introduced content-based recommendation algorithm, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN)-based collaborative filtering (CF) algorithm and singular value decomposition-based (SVD) collaborative filtering algorithm. However, the mentioned recommendation algorithms all recommend for a certain aspect, and do not realize the recommendation of specific movies input by specific users which will cause the recommended content… More >

Abstract Breast cancer is one of the main causes of death in women. When body tissues start behaves abnormally and the ratio of tissues growth becomes asymmetrical then this stage is called cancer. Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) is the early stage of breast cancer. The early detection and diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma is a significant step for the cure of IDC breast cancer. This paper presents a convolutional neural network (CNN) approach to detect and visualize the IDC tissues in breast on histological images dataset. The dataset consists of 90 thousand histopathological images containing two categories: Invasive Ductal Carcinoma positive… More >

Abstract An Intrusion detection system (IDS) is extensively used to identify cyber-attacks preferably in real-time and to achieve integrity, confidentiality, and availability of sensitive information. In this work, we develop a novel IDS using machine learning techniques to increase the performance of the attack detection process. In order to cope with high dimensional feature-rich traffic in large networks, we introduce a Bat-Inspired Optimization and Correlation-based Feature Selection (BIOCFS) algorithm and an ensemble classification approach. The BIOCFS is introduced to estimate the correlation of the identified features and to choose the ideal subset for training and testing phases. The Ensemble Classifier (EC)… More >

Abstract

During patient monitoring, false alert in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) becomes a major problem. In the category of alarms, pseudo alarms are regarded as having no clinical or therapeutic significance, and thus they result in fatigue alarms. Artifacts are misrepresentations of tissue structures produced by imaging techniques. These Artifacts can invalidate the Arterial Blood Pressure (ABP) signal. Therefore, it is very important to develop algorithms that can detect artifacts. However, ABP has algorithmic shortcomings and limitations of design. This study is aimed at developing a real-time enhancement of independent component analysis (EICA) and time-domain detection of QRS that can… More >

Abstract The sample's hemoglobin and glucose levels can be determined by obtaining a blood sample from the human body using a needle and analyzing it. Hemoglobin (HGB) is a critical component of the human body because it transports oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and returns carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs. Calculating the HGB level is a critical step in any blood analysis job. The HGB levels often indicate whether a person is anemic or polycythemia vera. Constructing ensemble models by combining two or more base machine learning (ML) models can help create a more improved… More >

Abstract Artificial intelligence, which has recently emerged with the rapid development of information technology, is drawing attention as a tool for solving various problems demanded by society and industry. In particular, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), a type of deep learning technology, are highlighted in computer vision fields, such as image classification and recognition and object tracking. Training these CNN models requires a large amount of data, and a lack of data can lead to performance degradation problems due to overfitting. As CNN architecture development and optimization studies become active, ensemble techniques have emerged to perform image classification by combining features extracted… More >

Abstract One of the major concerns for the utilities in the Smart Grid (SG) is electricity theft. With the implementation of smart meters, the frequency of energy usage and data collection from smart homes has increased, which makes it possible for advanced data analysis that was not previously possible. For this purpose, we have taken historical data of energy thieves and normal users. To avoid imbalance observation, biased estimates, we applied the interpolation method. Furthermore, the data unbalancing issue is resolved in this paper by Nearmiss undersampling technique and makes the data suitable for further processing. By proposing an improved version… More >
