Neural Network Configurations Analysis for Multilevel Speech Pattern Recognition System with Mixture of Experts
This chapter proposes to analyze two configurations of neural networks to compose the expert set in the development of a multilevel speech signal pattern recognition system of 30 commands in the Brazilian Portuguese language. Then, multilayer perceptron (MLP) and learning vector quantization (LVQ) networks have their performances verified during the training, validation and test stages in the speech signal recognition, whose patterns are given by two-dimensional time matrices, result from mel-cepstral coefficients coding by the discrete cosine transform (DCT). In order to avoid the pattern separability problem, the patterns are modified by a nonlinear transformation to a high-dimensional space through a suitable set of Gaussian radial base functions (GRBF). The performance of MLP and LVQ experts is improved and configurations are trained with few examples of each modified pattern. Several combinations were performed for the neural network topologies and algorithms previously established to determine the network structures with the best hit and generalization results
Detection on Straight Line Problem in Triangle Geometry Features for Digit Recognition
Geometric object especially triangle geometry has been widely used in digit recognition area. The triangle geometry properties have been implemented as the triangle features which are used to construct the triangle shape. Triangle is formed based on three points of triangle corner A, B and C. However, a problem occurs when three points of triangle corner were in parallel line. Thus, an algorithm has been proposed in order to solve the straight line problem. The Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) were used to measure based on the classification accuracy. Four datasets were used: HODA, IFCHDB, MNIST and BANGLA. The comparison results classification demonstrated the effectiveness of our proposed method

An end-to-end framework for real-time automatic sleep stage classification.
Sleep staging is a fundamental but time consuming process in any sleep laboratory. To greatly speed up sleep staging without compromising accuracy, we developed a novel framework for performing real-time automatic sleep stage classification. The client-server architecture adopted here provides an end-to-end solution for anonymizing and efficiently transporting polysomnography data from the client to the server and for receiving sleep stages in an interoperable fashion. The framework intelligently partitions the sleep staging task between the client and server in a way that multiple low-end clients can work with one server, and can be deployed both locally as well as over the cloud. The framework was tested on four datasets comprising ≈1700 polysomnography records (≈12000 hr of recordings) collected from adolescents, young, and old adults, involving healthy persons as well as those with medical conditions. We used two independent validation datasets: one comprising patients from a sleep disorders clinic and the other incorporating patients with Parkinson's disease. Using this system, an entire night's sleep was staged with an accuracy on par with expert human scorers but much faster (≈5 s compared with 30-60 min). To illustrate the utility of such real-time sleep staging, we used it to facilitate the automatic delivery of acoustic stimuli at targeted phase of slow-sleep oscillations to enhance slow-wave sleep
Identifying experts in the field of visual arts using oculomotor signals
In this article, we aimed to present a system that enables identifying experts in the field of visual art based on oculographic data. The difference between the two classified groups of tested people concerns formal education. At first, regions of interest (ROI) were determined based on position of fixations on the viewed picture. For each ROI, a set of features (the number of fixations and their durations) was calculated that enabled distinguishing professionals from laymen. The developed system was tested for several dozen of users. We used k-nearest neighbors (k-NN) and support vector machine (SVM) classifiers for classification process. Classification results proved that it is possible to distinguish experts from non-experts
