Project description:Electronic nose (E-nose) and electronic tongue (E-tongue) can mimic the sensory perception of human smell and taste, and they are widely applied in tea quality evaluation by utilizing the fingerprints of response signals representing the overall information of tea samples. The intrinsic part of human perception is the fusion of sensors, as more information is provided comparing to the information from a single sensory organ. In this study, a framework for a multi-level fusion strategy of electronic nose and electronic tongue was proposed to enhance the tea quality prediction accuracies, by simultaneously modeling feature fusion and decision fusion. The procedure included feature-level fusion (fuse the time-domain based feature and frequency-domain based feature) and decision-level fusion (D-S evidence to combine the classification results from multiple classifiers). The experiments were conducted on tea samples collected from various tea providers with four grades. The large quantity made the quality assessment task very difficult, and the experimental results showed much better classification ability for the multi-level fusion system. The proposed algorithm could better represent the overall characteristics of tea samples for both odor and taste.

Project description:Feature selection and classification are the main topics in microarray data analysis. Although many feature selection methods have been proposed and developed in this field, SVM-RFE (Support Vector Machine based on Recursive Feature Elimination) is proved as one of the best feature selection methods, which ranks the features (genes) by training support vector machine classification model and selects key genes combining with recursive feature elimination strategy. The principal drawback of SVM-RFE is the huge time consumption. To overcome this limitation, we introduce a more efficient implementation of linear support vector machines and improve the recursive feature elimination strategy and then combine them together to select informative genes. Besides, we propose a simple resampling method to preprocess the datasets, which makes the information distribution of different kinds of samples balanced and the classification results more credible. Moreover, the applicability of four common classifiers is also studied in this paper. Extensive experiments are conducted on six most frequently used microarray datasets in this field, and the results show that the proposed methods have not only reduced the time consumption greatly but also obtained comparable classification performance.

Project description:The intelligent senses (Electronic nose and tongue), were combined with headspace gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) and free amino acid were used in combination to determine the aroma and taste components during the processing of Chinese traditional dish Steamed beef with rice flour (SBD). The findings revealed that E-nose and E-tongue, could clearly distinguish and identify the aroma and taste of SBD. A total of 66 volatile substances and 19 free amino acids were identified by HS-GC-IMS and amino acid analyzer, respectively. The highest contribution to aroma in the production of SBD was alcohols, esters and aldehydes. Further analysis of relative odor activity showed that 3-Methylbutanol-D, 3-Methylbutanol-M and 3-Methylthio propanal is the marinating stage (T2) main aroma components. Ethyl 3-methylbutanoate-M and Ethyl 3-methylbutanoate-D were the main aroma components in the seasoning stage (T3). Additionally, the calculation of the taste activity value showed that Glutamic contributed significantly to the umami of SBD. Alanine was a representative taste component in the marinating stage (T2), while Proline, Aspartic, Lysine, Glutamic, Valine, Arginine, and Histidine were characteristic amino acids of the seasoning stage (T3). Consequently, this study offers valuable insights into the industrial-scale production and flavor regulation of SBD products.

Project description:Sensors, and also actuators or external sources such as databases, serve as data sources in order to realise condition monitoring of industrial applications or the acquisition of characteristic parameters like production speed or reject rate. Modern facilities create such a large amount of complex data that a machine operator is unable to comprehend and process the information contained in the data. Thus, information fusion mechanisms gain increasing importance. Besides the management of large amounts of data, further challenges towards the fusion algorithms arise from epistemic uncertainties (incomplete knowledge) in the input signals as well as conflicts between them. These aspects must be considered during information processing to obtain reliable results, which are in accordance with the real world. The analysis of the scientific state of the art shows that current solutions fulfil said requirements at most only partly. This article proposes the multilayered information fusion system MACRO (multilayer attribute-based conflict-reducing observation) employing the μBalTLCS (fuzzified balanced two-layer conflict solving) fusion algorithm to reduce the impact of conflicts on the fusion result. The performance of the contribution is shown by its evaluation in the scope of a machine condition monitoring application under laboratory conditions. Here, the MACRO system yields the best results compared to state-of-the-art fusion mechanisms. The utilised data is published and freely accessible.

Project description:The promise of speech disorders as biomarkers in clinical examination has been identified in a broad spectrum of neurodegenerative diseases. However, to the best of our knowledge, a validated acoustic marker with established discriminative and evaluative properties has not yet been developed for oral tongue cancers. Here we cross-sectionally collected a screening dataset that included acoustic parameters extracted from 3 sustained vowels /ɑ/, /i/, /u/ and binary perceptual outcomes from 12 consonant-vowel syllables. We used a support vector machine with linear kernel function within this dataset to identify the formant centralization ratio (FCR) as a dominant predictor of different perceptual outcomes across gender and syllable. The Acoustic analysis, Perceptual evaluation and Quality of Life assessment (APeQoL) was used to validate the FCR in 33 patients with primary resectable oral tongue cancers. Measurements were taken before (pre-op) and four to six weeks after (post-op) surgery. The speech handicap index (SHI), a speech-specific questionnaire, was also administrated at these time points. Pre-op correlation analysis within the APeQoL revealed overall consistency and a strong correlation between FCR and SHI scores. FCRs also increased significantly with increasing T classification pre-operatively, especially for women. Longitudinally, the main effects of T classification, the extent of resection, and their interaction effects with time (pre-op vs. post-op) on FCRs were all significant. For pre-operative FCR, after merging the two datasets, a cut-off value of 0.970 produced an AUC of 0.861 (95% confidence interval: 0.785-0.938) for T3-4 patients. In sum, this study determined that FCR is an acoustic marker with the potential to detect disease and related speech function in oral tongue cancers. These are preliminary findings that need to be replicated in longitudinal studies and/or larger cohorts.

Project description:ObjectivesIn recent years, research on the use of electronic noses (e-nose) has developed rapidly, especially in the medical and food fields. Typically, e-nose is coupled with machine learning algorithms to detect or predict multiple sensory classes in a given sample. In many cases, comprehensive and complete experiments are required to ensure the generalizability of the predictive model. For this reason, homogeneous data sets are important to use. Homogeneous data sets refer to the data sets obtained from different observations in almost similar environmental condition. In this data article, e-nose homogeneous data sets are provided for beef quality classification and microbial population prediction.Data descriptionThis data set is originated from 12 type of beef cuts. The process of beef spoilage is recorded using 11 Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (MOS) gas sensors for 2220 min. The formal standards, issued by the Meat Standards Committee, are used as a reference in labeling beef quality. Based on the number of microbial populations, meat quality was grouped into four classes, namely excellent, good, acceptable, and spoiled. The data set is formatted in "xlsx" file. Each sheet represents one beef cut. Moreover, data sets are good cases for feature selection algorithm stability test, especially to solve sensor array optimization problems.

Project description:In several application domains, electronic nose systems employing conventional data processing approaches incur substantial power and computational costs and limitations, such as significant latency and poor accuracy for classification. Recent developments in spike-based bio-inspired approaches have delivered solutions for the highly accurate classification of multivariate sensor data with minimized computational and power requirements. Although these methods have addressed issues related to efficient data processing and classification accuracy, other areas, such as reducing the processing latency to support real-time application and deploying spike-based solutions on supported hardware, have yet to be studied in detail. Through this investigation, we proposed a spiking neural network (SNN)-based classifier, implemented in a chip-emulation-based development environment, that can be seamlessly deployed on a neuromorphic system-on-a-chip (NSoC). Under three different scenarios of increasing complexity, the SNN was determined to be able to classify real-valued sensor data with greater than 90% accuracy and with a maximum latency of 3 s on the software-based platform. Highlights of this work included the design and implementation of a novel encoder for artificial olfactory systems, implementation of unsupervised spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) for learning, and a foundational study on early classification capability using the SNN-based classifier.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:The primary goal of this experiment is to prioritize molecular descriptors that control the activity of active molecules that could reduce the dimensionality produced during the virtual screening process. It also aims to: (1) develop a methodology for sampling large datasets and the statistical verification of the sampling process, (2) apply screening filter to detect molecules with polypharmacological or promiscuous activity. RESULTS:Sampling from large a dataset and its verification were done by applying Z-test. Molecular descriptors were prioritized using principal component analysis (PCA) by eliminating the least influencing ones. The original dimensions were reduced to one-twelfth by the application of PCA. There was a significant improvement in statistical parameter values of virtual screening model which in turn resulted in better screening results. Further improvement of screened results was done by applying Eli Lilly MedChem rules filter that removed molecules with polypharmacological or promiscuous activity. It was also shown that similarities in the activity of compounds were due to the molecular descriptors which were not apparent in prima facie structural studies.

Project description:Arrhythmia detection by classifying ECG heartbeats is an important research topic for healthcare. Recently, deep learning models have been increasingly applied to ECG classification. Among them, most methods work in three steps: preprocessing, heartbeat segmentation and beat-wise classification. However, this methodology has two drawbacks. First, explicit heartbeat segmentation can undermine model simplicity and compactness. Second, beat-wise classification risks losing inter-heartbeat context information that can be useful to achieving high classification performance. Addressing these drawbacks, we propose a novel deep learning model that can simultaneously conduct heartbeat segmentation and classification. Compared to existing methods, our model is more compact as it does not require explicit heartbeat segmentation. Moreover, our model is more context-aware, for it takes into account the relationship between heartbeats. To achieve simultaneous segmentation and classification, we present a Faster R-CNN based model that has been customized to handle ECG data. To characterize inter-heartbeat context information, we exploit inverted residual blocks and a novel feature fusion subroutine that combines average pooling with max-pooling. Extensive experiments on the well-known MIT-BIH database indicate that our method can achieve competitive results for ECG segmentation and classification.

Project description:ObjectiveThe US Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) collects spontaneous reports of adverse events following vaccination. Medical officers review the reports and often apply standardized case definitions, such as those developed by the Brighton Collaboration. Our objective was to demonstrate a multi-level text mining approach for automated text classification of VAERS reports that could potentially reduce human workload.DesignWe selected 6034 VAERS reports for H1N1 vaccine that were classified by medical officers as potentially positive (N(pos)=237) or negative for anaphylaxis. We created a categorized corpus of text files that included the class label and the symptom text field of each report. A validation set of 1100 labeled text files was also used. Text mining techniques were applied to extract three feature sets for important keywords, low- and high-level patterns. A rule-based classifier processed the high-level feature representation, while several machine learning classifiers were trained for the remaining two feature representations.MeasurementsClassifiers' performance was evaluated by macro-averaging recall, precision, and F-measure, and Friedman's test; misclassification error rate analysis was also performed.ResultsRule-based classifier, boosted trees, and weighted support vector machines performed well in terms of macro-recall, however at the expense of a higher mean misclassification error rate. The rule-based classifier performed very well in terms of average sensitivity and specificity (79.05% and 94.80%, respectively).ConclusionOur validated results showed the possibility of developing effective medical text classifiers for VAERS reports by combining text mining with informative feature selection; this strategy has the potential to reduce reviewer workload considerably.
