ADBSCAN: Adaptive Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise for Identifying Clusters with Varying Densities

Density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) is a data clustering algorithm which has the high-performance rate for dataset where clusters have the constant density of data points. One of the significant attributes of this algorithm is noise cancellation. However, DBSCAN demonstrates reduced performances for clusters with different densities. Therefore, in this paper, an adaptive DBSCAN is proposed which can work significantly well for identifying clusters with varying densities.Comment: To be published in the 4th IEEE International Conference on Electrical Engineering and Information & Communication Technology (iCEEiCT 2018

Study and Observation of the Variation of Accuracies of KNN, SVM, LMNN, ENN Algorithms on Eleven Different Datasets from UCI Machine Learning Repository

Machine learning qualifies computers to assimilate with data, without being solely programmed [1, 2]. Machine learning can be classified as supervised and unsupervised learning. In supervised learning, computers learn an objective that portrays an input to an output hinged on training input-output pairs [3]. Most efficient and widely used supervised learning algorithms are K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Large Margin Nearest Neighbor (LMNN), and Extended Nearest Neighbor (ENN). The main contribution of this paper is to implement these elegant learning algorithms on eleven different datasets from the UCI machine learning repository to observe the variation of accuracies for each of the algorithms on all datasets. Analyzing the accuracy of the algorithms will give us a brief idea about the relationship of the machine learning algorithms and the data dimensionality. All the algorithms are developed in Matlab. Upon such accuracy observation, the comparison can be built among KNN, SVM, LMNN, and ENN regarding their performances on each dataset.Comment: To be published in the 4th IEEE International Conference on Electrical Engineering and Information & Communication Technology (iCEEiCT 2018

A Logic Simplification Approach for Very Large Scale Crosstalk Circuit Designs

Crosstalk computing, involving engineered interference between nanoscale metal lines, offers a fresh perspective to scaling through co-existence with CMOS. Through capacitive manipulations and innovative circuit style, not only primitive gates can be implemented, but custom logic cells such as an Adder, Subtractor can be implemented with huge gains. Our simulations show over 5x density and 2x power benefits over CMOS custom designs at 16nm [1]. This paper introduces the Crosstalk circuit style and a key method for large-scale circuit synthesis utilizing existing EDA tool flow. We propose to manipulate the CMOS synthesis flow by adding two extra steps: conversion of the gate-level netlist to Crosstalk implementation friendly netlist through logic simplification and Crosstalk gate mapping, and the inclusion of custom cell libraries for automated placement and layout. Our logic simplification approach first converts Cadence generated structured netlist to Boolean expressions and then uses the majority synthesis tool to obtain majority functions, which is further used to simplify functions for Crosstalk friendly implementations. We compare our approach of logic simplification to that of CMOS and majority logic-based approaches. Crosstalk circuits share some similarities to majority synthesis that are typically applied to Quantum Cellular Automata technology. However, our investigation shows that by closely following Crosstalk's core circuit styles, most benefits can be achieved. In the best case, our approach shows 36% density improvements over majority synthesis for MCNC benchmark

EXAMINING THE LIVER ENZYMES IN NON-ALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE (NAFLD) PATIENTS: A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY.

Background: Up to the present, the detection of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is done using biopsy. The exploration of a painless substitute, such as biomarkers, is a rationale for investigation. Earlier research has evaluated that patients with diabetes or overweight do not affect liver enzymes causing chronic liver problems. The goal of this research is to examine the liver enzymes in the case of NAFLD.  Materials and Methods: This is cross-sectional research in which 80 subjects were included which was carried out at Katihar Medical College in Katihar, Bihar, India. Patients were divided into four categories according to their BMI, category 1 (obese), category 2 (type 1 obesity), category 3 (type 2 obesity), and category 4 (type 3 obesity), excluding the patients who have hepatitis and consume alcohol.  Results: Most of the patients had type 2 obesity in which 18 males and 13 females were present. 7 male and 12 female patients had type 1 obesity. Male patients were 48 and female patients were 32The disease was prevalent in both genders.  Conclusion: In the present study, it was concluded that there are variations in liver enzymes and the significance of sex, body weight, and dysfunction in lipid profile to examine the threat of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.  Recommendation: Biopsy is the best mode for the detection of NAFLD and other ultrasound such as an MRI scan or CT scan can also be done for the diagnosis of hepatic dysfunction

Study and Observation of the Variations of Accuracies for Handwritten Digits Recognition with Various Hidden Layers and Epochs using Neural Network Algorithm

In recent days, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) can be applied to a vast majority of fields including business, medicine, engineering, etc. The most popular areas where ANN is employed nowadays are pattern and sequence recognition, novelty detection, character recognition, regression analysis, speech recognition, image compression, stock market prediction, Electronic nose, security, loan applications, data processing, robotics, and control. The benefits associated with its broad applications leads to increasing popularity of ANN in the era of 21st Century. ANN confers many benefits such as organic learning, nonlinear data processing, fault tolerance, and self-repairing compared to other conventional approaches. The primary objective of this paper is to analyze the influence of the hidden layers of a neural network over the overall performance of the network. To demonstrate this influence, we applied neural network with different layers on the MNIST dataset. Also, another goal is to observe the variations of accuracies of ANN for different numbers of hidden layers and epochs and to compare and contrast among them.Comment: To be published in the 4th IEEE International Conference on Electrical Engineering and Information & Communication Technology (iCEEiCT 2018

Capacitance-Voltage Characteristics of Nanowire Trigate MOSFET Considering Wave Function Penetration

Short channel  effects on the gate capacitance of nanowire trigate MOS field-effect transistors are studied considering wave function penetration. Capacitance-Voltage (C‑V) measurements are commonly used in studying gate-oxide quality in detail.  C‑V test results offer a wealth of device and process information, including bulk and interface charges. Capacitance indicates switching speed of the MOSFET. It is our goal to minimize capacitance as possible as we can in MOSFET. Due to our necessary to compact the Integrated Circuit as possible as we can for getting small electronics devices. Capacitance determines the speed of the IC. Every engineer in this section should know capacitance of his implementing device MOSFET to get exact result from this device. Whenever we deal with 10X10 nm scale or less device of MOSFET. We must concern the effect of wave function penetration into device in this stage classical mechanics fails to describe exact result of the system because electron can move in only one direction (x), in 3 Dimension, it cannot move in other two direction (y, z). i.e. confined in two direction which is not predictable by classical mechanics here quantum mechanics (QM) gives better solution of this problem. Therefore we consider QM in our study. Here we presented how wave function play vital role considering small area of trigate MOSFET. It is the analytical approach of QM and highly recommendation to use QM rather than CM to get accuracy. This result will be helpful for determining capacitance of trigate MOSFET.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v2i6.178
