Automatic epilepsy detection using fractal dimensions segmentation and GP-SVM classification
Objective: The most important part of signal processing for classification is feature extraction as a mapping from original input electroencephalographic (EEG) data space to new features space with the biggest class separability value. Features are not only the most important, but also the most difficult task from the classification process as they define input data and classification quality. An ideal set of features would make the classification problem trivial. This article presents novel methods of feature extraction processing and automatic epilepsy seizure classification combining machine learning methods with genetic evolution algorithms.
Methods: Classification is performed on EEG data that represent electric brain activity. At first, the signal is preprocessed with digital filtration and adaptive segmentation using fractal dimensions as the only segmentation measure. In the next step, a novel method using genetic programming (GP) combined with support vector machine (SVM) confusion matrix as fitness function weight is used to extract feature vectors compressed into lower dimension space and classify the final result into ictal or interictal epochs.
Results: The final application of GP SVM method improves the discriminatory performance of a classifier by reducing feature dimensionality at the same time. Members of the GP tree structure represent the features themselves and their number is automatically decided by the compression function introduced in this paper. This novel method improves the overall performance of the SVM classification by dramatically reducing the size of input feature vector.
Conclusion: According to results, the accuracy of this algorithm is very high and comparable, or even superior to other automatic detection algorithms. In combination with the great efficiency, this algorithm can be used in real-time epilepsy detection applications. From the results of the algorithm's classification, we can observe high sensitivity, specificity results, except for the Generalized Tonic Clonic Seizure (GTCS). As the next step, the optimization of the compression stage and final SVM evaluation stage is in place. More data need to be obtained on GTCS to improve the overall classification score for GTCS.Web of Science142449243
An Automated System for Epilepsy Detection using EEG Brain Signals based on Deep Learning Approach
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder and for its detection, encephalography
(EEG) is a commonly used clinical approach. Manual inspection of EEG brain
signals is a time-consuming and laborious process, which puts heavy burden on
neurologists and affects their performance. Several automatic techniques have
been proposed using traditional approaches to assist neurologists in detecting
binary epilepsy scenarios e.g. seizure vs. non-seizure or normal vs. ictal.
These methods do not perform well when classifying ternary case e.g. ictal vs.
normal vs. inter-ictal; the maximum accuracy for this case by the
state-of-the-art-methods is 97+-1%. To overcome this problem, we propose a
system based on deep learning, which is an ensemble of pyramidal
one-dimensional convolutional neural network (P-1D-CNN) models. In a CNN model,
the bottleneck is the large number of learnable parameters. P-1D-CNN works on
the concept of refinement approach and it results in 60% fewer parameters
compared to traditional CNN models. Further to overcome the limitations of
small amount of data, we proposed augmentation schemes for learning P-1D-CNN
model. In almost all the cases concerning epilepsy detection, the proposed
system gives an accuracy of 99.1+-0.9% on the University of Bonn dataset.Comment: 18 page
SeizureNet: Multi-Spectral Deep Feature Learning for Seizure Type Classification
Automatic classification of epileptic seizure types in electroencephalograms
(EEGs) data can enable more precise diagnosis and efficient management of the
disease. This task is challenging due to factors such as low signal-to-noise
ratios, signal artefacts, high variance in seizure semiology among epileptic
patients, and limited availability of clinical data. To overcome these
challenges, in this paper, we present SeizureNet, a deep learning framework
which learns multi-spectral feature embeddings using an ensemble architecture
for cross-patient seizure type classification. We used the recently released
TUH EEG Seizure Corpus (V1.4.0 and V1.5.2) to evaluate the performance of
SeizureNet. Experiments show that SeizureNet can reach a weighted F1 score of
up to 0.94 for seizure-wise cross validation and 0.59 for patient-wise cross
validation for scalp EEG based multi-class seizure type classification. We also
show that the high-level feature embeddings learnt by SeizureNet considerably
improve the accuracy of smaller networks through knowledge distillation for
applications with low-memory constraints
One-shot Learning for iEEG Seizure Detection Using End-to-end Binary Operations: Local Binary Patterns with Hyperdimensional Computing
This paper presents an efficient binarized algorithm for both learning and
classification of human epileptic seizures from intracranial
electroencephalography (iEEG). The algorithm combines local binary patterns
with brain-inspired hyperdimensional computing to enable end-to-end learning
and inference with binary operations. The algorithm first transforms iEEG time
series from each electrode into local binary pattern codes. Then atomic
high-dimensional binary vectors are used to construct composite representations
of seizures across all electrodes. For the majority of our patients (10 out of
16), the algorithm quickly learns from one or two seizures (i.e., one-/few-shot
learning) and perfectly generalizes on 27 further seizures. For other patients,
the algorithm requires three to six seizures for learning. Overall, our
algorithm surpasses the state-of-the-art methods for detecting 65 novel
seizures with higher specificity and sensitivity, and lower memory footprint.Comment: Published as a conference paper at the IEEE BioCAS 201
