Content-based 3D model retrieval (CB3DMR) aims at augmenting the text-based search with the ability to search 3D data collections by using examples, sketches, as well as geometric and structural features..

An EEG Signal Recognition Algorithm During Epileptic Seizure Based on Distributed Edge Computing

Epilepsy is one kind of brain diseases, and its sudden unpredictability is the main cause of disability and even death. Thus, it is of great significance to identify electroencephalogram (EEG) during the seizure quickly and accurately. With the rise of cloud computing and edge computing, the interface between local detection and cloud recognition is established, which promotes the development of portable EEG detection and diagnosis. Thus, we construct a framework for identifying EEG signals in epileptic seizure based on cloud-edge computing. The EEG signals are obtained in real time locally, and the horizontal viewable model is established at the edge to enhance the internal correlation of the signals. The Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) fuzzy system is established to analyze the epileptic signals. In the cloud, the fusion of clinical features and signal features is established to establish a deep learning framework. Through local signal acquisition, edge signal processing and cloud signal recognition, the diagnosis of epilepsy is realized, which can provide a new idea for the real-time diagnosis and feedback of EEG during epileptic seizure

Smart Bagged Tree-based Classifier optimized by Random Forests (SBT-RF) to Classify Brain- Machine Interface Data

Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) is a new technology that uses electrodes and sensors to connect machines and computers with the human brain to improve a person\u27s mental performance. Also, human intentions and thoughts are analyzed and recognized using BCI, which is then translated into Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. However, certain brain signals may contain redundant information, making classification ineffective. Therefore, relevant characteristics are essential for enhancing classification performance. . Thus, feature selection has been employed to eliminate redundant data before sorting to reduce computation time. BCI Competition III Dataset Iva was used to investigate the efficacy of the proposed system. A Smart Bagged Tree-based Classifier (SBT-RF) technique is presented to determine the importance of the features for selecting and classifying the data. As a result, SBT-RF is better at improving the mean accuracy of the dataset. It also decreases computation cost and training time and increases prediction speed. Furthermore, fewer features mean fewer electrodes, thus lowering the risk of damage to the brain. The proposed algorithm has the greatest average accuracy of ~98% compared to other relevant algorithms in the literature. SBT-RF is compared to state-of-the-art algorithms based on the following performance metrics: Confusion Matrix, ROC-AUC, F1-Score, Training Time, Prediction speed, and Accuracy

Uncertainty-aware estimation of population abundance using machine learning

Machine Learning is widely used for mining collections, such as images, sounds, or texts, by classifying their elements into categories. Automatic classification based on supervised learning requires groundtruth datasets for modeling the elements to classify, and for testing the quality of the classification. Because collecting groundtruth is tedious, a method for estimating the potential errors in large datasets based on limited groundtruth is needed. We propose a method that improves classification quality by using limited groundtruth data to extrapolate the po-tential errors in larger datasets. It significantly improves the counting of elements per class. We further propose visualization designs for understanding and evaluating the classification un-certainty. They support end-users in considering the impact of potential misclassifications for interpreting the classification output. This work was developed to address the needs of ecologists studying fish population abundance using computer vision, but generalizes to a larger range of applications. Our method is largely applicable for a variety of Machine Learning technologies, and our visualizations further support their transfer to end-users
