A Multiple Cascade-Classifier System for a Robust and Partially Unsupervised Updating of Land-Cover Maps
A system for a regular updating of land-cover maps is proposed that is based on the use of multitemporal remote-sensing images. Such a system is able to face the updating problem under the realistic but critical constraint that, for the image to be classified (i.e., the most recent of the considered multitemporal data set), no ground truth information is available. The system is composed of an ensemble of partially unsupervised classifiers integrated in a multiple classifier architecture. Each classifier of the ensemble exhibits the following novel peculiarities: i) it is developed in the framework of the cascade-classification approach to exploit the temporal correlation existing between images acquired at different times in the considered area; ii) it is based on a partially unsupervised methodology capable to accomplish the classification process under the aforementioned critical constraint. Both a parametric maximum-likelihood classification approach and a non-parametric radial basis function (RBF) neural-network classification approach are used as basic methods for the development of partially unsupervised cascade classifiers. In addition, in order to generate an effective ensemble of classification algorithms, hybrid maximum-likelihood and RBF neural network cascade classifiers are defined by exploiting the peculiarities of the cascade-classification methodology. The results yielded by the different classifiers are combined by using standard unsupervised combination strategies. This allows the definition of a robust and accurate partially unsupervised classification system capable of analyzing a wide typology of remote-sensing data (e.g., images acquired by passive sensors, SAR images, multisensor and multisource data). Experimental results obtained on a real multitemporal and multisource data set confirm the effectiveness of the proposed system
A Proposed Technique for Finding Pattern from Web Usage Data
There are various ways of web page classification but they take higher time to compute with lesser accuracy. Hence, there is a need to invent an efficient algorithm in order to reduce time and increase web page classification result. Artificial Immune System (AIS) which has the characteristic of high self-adaptation and self-construction inspired from the function of biological immune system. An ensemble approach of AIS and tree based classifier has used the hybrid approach. This inspired the scholars to use such hybrid approach for Structure based web page classification
An Ensemble Classification and Hybrid Feature Selection Approach for Fake News Stance Detection
The developments in Internet and notions of social media have revolutionised representations and disseminations of news. News spreads quickly while costing less in social media. Amidst these quick distributions, dangerous or seductive information like user generated false news also spread equally. on social media. Distinguishing true incidents from false news strips create key challenges. Prior to sending the feature vectors to the classifier, it was suggested in this study effort to use dimensionality reduction approaches to do so. These methods would not significantly affect the result, though. Furthermore, utilising dimensionality reduction techniques significantly reduces the time needed to complete a forecast. This paper presents a hybrid feature selection method to overcome the above mentioned issues. The classifications of fake news are based on ensembles which identify connections between stories and headlines of news items. Initially, data is pre-processed to transform unstructured data into structures for ease of processing. In the second step, unidentified qualities of false news from diverse connections amongst news articles are extracted utilising PCA (Principal Component Analysis). For the feature reduction procedure, the third step uses FPSO (Fuzzy Particle Swarm Optimization) to select features. To efficiently understand how news items are represented and spot bogus news, this study creates ELMs (Ensemble Learning Models). This study obtained a dataset from Kaggle to create the reasoning. In this study, four assessment metrics have been used to evaluate performances of classifying models
A Review of Feature Selection and Classification Approaches for Heart Disease Prediction
Cardiovascular disease has been the number one illness to cause death in the world for years. As information technology develops, many researchers have conducted studies on a computer-assisted diagnosis for heart disease. Predicting heart disease using a computer-assisted system can reduce time and costs. Feature selection can be used to choose the most relevant variables for heart disease. It includes filter, wrapper, embedded, and hybrid. The filter method excels in computation speed. The wrapper and embedded methods consider feature dependencies and interact with classifiers. The hybrid method takes advantage of several methods. Classification is a data mining technique to predict heart disease. It includes traditional machine learning, ensemble learning, hybrid, and deep learning. Traditional machine learning uses a specific algorithm. The ensemble learning combines the predictions of multiple classifiers to improve the performance of a single classifier. The hybrid approach combines some techniques and takes advantage of each method. Deep learning does not require a predetermined feature engineering. This research provides an overview of feature selection and classification methods for the prediction of heart disease in the last ten years. Thus, it can be used as a reference in choosing a method for heart disease prediction for future research
A Hybrid Approach for Depression Classification: Random Forest-ANN Ensemble on Motor Activity Signals
Regarding the rising number of people suffering from mental health illnesses
in today's society, the importance of mental health cannot be overstated.
Wearable sensors, which are increasingly widely available, provide a potential
way to track and comprehend mental health issues. These gadgets not only
monitor everyday activities but also continuously record vital signs like heart
rate, perhaps providing information on a person's mental state. Recent research
has used these sensors in conjunction with machine learning methods to identify
patterns relating to different mental health conditions, highlighting the
immense potential of this data beyond simple activity monitoring. In this
research, we present a novel algorithm called the Hybrid Random forest - Neural
network that has been tailored to evaluate sensor data from depressed patients.
Our method has a noteworthy accuracy of 80\% when evaluated on a special
dataset that included both unipolar and bipolar depressive patients as well as
healthy controls. The findings highlight the algorithm's potential for reliably
determining a person's depression condition using sensor data, making a
substantial contribution to the area of mental health diagnostics.Comment: 8 page
