Driver Distraction Identification with an Ensemble of Convolutional Neural Networks
The World Health Organization (WHO) reported 1.25 million deaths yearly due
to road traffic accidents worldwide and the number has been continuously
increasing over the last few years. Nearly fifth of these accidents are caused
by distracted drivers. Existing work of distracted driver detection is
concerned with a small set of distractions (mostly, cell phone usage).
Unreliable ad-hoc methods are often used.In this paper, we present the first
publicly available dataset for driver distraction identification with more
distraction postures than existing alternatives. In addition, we propose a
reliable deep learning-based solution that achieves a 90% accuracy. The system
consists of a genetically-weighted ensemble of convolutional neural networks,
we show that a weighted ensemble of classifiers using a genetic algorithm
yields in a better classification confidence. We also study the effect of
different visual elements in distraction detection by means of face and hand
localizations, and skin segmentation. Finally, we present a thinned version of
our ensemble that could achieve 84.64% classification accuracy and operate in a
real-time environment.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1706.0949
Optimization of Convolutional Neural Network ensemble classifiers by Genetic Algorithms
Breast cancer exhibits a high mortality rate and it is the most invasive cancer in women. An analysis from histopathological images could predict this disease. In this way, computational image processing might support this task. In this work a proposal which employes deep learning convolutional neural networks is presented. Then, an ensemble of networks is considered in order to obtain an enhanced recognition performance of the system by the consensus of the networks of the ensemble. Finally, a genetic algorithm is also considered to choose the networks that belong to the ensemble. The proposal has been tested by carrying out several experiments with a set of benchmark images.Universidad de Málaga. Campus de Excelencia Internacional AndalucĂa Tech
A survey on utilization of data mining approaches for dermatological (skin) diseases prediction
Due to recent technology advances, large volumes of medical data is obtained. These data contain valuable information. Therefore data mining techniques can be used to extract useful patterns. This paper is intended to introduce data mining and its various techniques and a survey of the available literature on medical data mining. We emphasize mainly on the application of data mining on skin diseases. A categorization has been provided based on the different data mining techniques. The utility of the various data mining methodologies is highlighted. Generally association mining is suitable for extracting rules. It has been used especially in cancer diagnosis. Classification is a robust method in medical mining. In this paper, we have summarized the different uses of classification in dermatology. It is one of the most important methods for diagnosis of erythemato-squamous diseases. There are different methods like Neural Networks, Genetic Algorithms and fuzzy classifiaction in this topic. Clustering is a useful method in medical images mining. The purpose of clustering techniques is to find a structure for the given data by finding similarities between data according to data characteristics. Clustering has some applications in dermatology. Besides introducing different mining methods, we have investigated some challenges which exist in mining skin data
One-Class Classification: Taxonomy of Study and Review of Techniques
One-class classification (OCC) algorithms aim to build classification models
when the negative class is either absent, poorly sampled or not well defined.
This unique situation constrains the learning of efficient classifiers by
defining class boundary just with the knowledge of positive class. The OCC
problem has been considered and applied under many research themes, such as
outlier/novelty detection and concept learning. In this paper we present a
unified view of the general problem of OCC by presenting a taxonomy of study
for OCC problems, which is based on the availability of training data,
algorithms used and the application domains applied. We further delve into each
of the categories of the proposed taxonomy and present a comprehensive
literature review of the OCC algorithms, techniques and methodologies with a
focus on their significance, limitations and applications. We conclude our
paper by discussing some open research problems in the field of OCC and present
our vision for future research.Comment: 24 pages + 11 pages of references, 8 figure
