  • Class probability is a fundamental target in classification that contains complete classification information. In this article, we propose a class probability estimation method when the predictor is functional. Motivated by Wang et al. (Biometrika, 95, 149-167, 2007), our estimator is obtained by training a sequence of functional weighted support vector machines (FWSVM) with different weights, which can be justified by the Fisher consistency of the hinge loss. The proposed method can be extended to multiclass classification via pairwise coupling proposed by Wu et al. (Journal of Machine Learning Research, 5, 975-1005, 2004). The use of FWSVM makes our method model-free as well as computationally efficient due to the piecewise linearity of the FWSVM solutions as functions of the weight. Numerical investigation to both synthetic and real data show the advantageous performance of the proposed method.

  • Clustered microcalcifications in X-ray mammograms are an important sign for the diagnosis of breast cancer. A shape-based method, which is based on the morphological features of clustered microcalcifications, is proposed for classifying clustered microcalcifications into benign or malignant categories. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed shape features, clinical mammograms were used to compare the classification performance of the proposed shape features with those of conventional textural features, such as the spatial gray-leve dependence method and the wavelet-based method. Image features extracted from these methods were used as inputs to a three-layer backpropagation neural network classifier. The classification performance of features extracted by each method was studied by using receiver operating-characteristics analysis. The proposed shape features were shown to be superior to the conventional textural features with respect to classification accuracy.

  • Mining the microarray data accumulated in the public data repositories can save experimental cost and time and provide valuable biomedical information. Big data analysis pooling multiple data sets increases statistical power, improves the reliability of the results, and reduces the specific bias of the individual study. However, integrating several data sets from different studies is needed to deal with many problems. In this study, I limited the focus to the cross platform classification that the platform of a testing sample is different from the platform of a training set, and suggested a simple classification method based on rank. This method is compared with the diagonal linear discriminant analysis, k nearest neighbor method and support vector machine using the cross platform real example data sets of two cancers.

  • This paper proposes remotely sensed image classification method by fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm using average intra-cluster distance. The average intra-cluster distance acquires an average of the vector set belong to each cluster and proportionates to its size and density. We perform classification according to pixel's membership grade by cluster center of fuzzy c-means clustering using the mean-values of training data about each class. Fuzzy c-means algorithm considered membership degree for inter-cluster of each class. And then, we validate degree of overlap between clusters. A pixel which has a high degree of overlap applies to the maximum likelihood classification method. Finally, we decide category by comparing with fuzzy membership degree and likelihood rate. The proposed method is applied to IKONOS remote sensing satellite image for the verifying test.

  • Multiclass classification is typically performed using the voting scheme method based on combining binary classifications. In this paper we propose multiclass classification method for large data, which can be regarded as the revised one-vs-all method. The multiclass classification is performed by using the hat matrix of least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) ensemble, which is obtained by aggregating individual LS-SVM trained on each subset of whole large data. The cross validation function is defined to select the optimal values of hyperparameters which affect the performance of multiclass LS-SVM proposed. We obtain the generalized cross validation function to reduce computational burden of cross validation function. Experimental results are then presented which indicate the performance of the proposed method.

  • The surge in generic attacks execution against cipher text on the computer network has led to the continuous advancement of the mechanisms to protect information integrity and confidentiality. The implementation of explicit decision tree machine learning algorithm is reported to accurately classifier generic attacks better than some multi-classification algorithms as the multi-classification method suffers from detection oversight. However, there is a need to improve the accuracy and reduce the false alarm rate. Therefore, this study aims to improve generic attack classification by implementing two hybridized decision tree algorithms namely Naïve Bayes Decision tree (NBTree) and Logistic Model tree (LMT). The proposed hybridized methods were developed using the 10-fold cross-validation technique to avoid overfitting. The generic attack detector produced a 99.8% accuracy, an FPR score of 0.002 and an MCC score of 0.995. The performances of the proposed methods were better than the existing decision tree method. Similarly, the proposed method outperformed multi-classification methods for detecting generic attacks. Hence, it is recommended to implement hybridized decision tree method for detecting generic attacks on a computer network.

  • Understanding and classification of the human's emotion play an important tasks in interacting with human and machine communication systems. This paper proposes a novel emotion recognition method by extracting facial keypoints, which is able to understand and classify the human emotion, using active Appearance Model and the proposed classification model of the facial features. The existing appearance model scheme takes an expression of variations, which is calculated by the proposed classification model according to the change of human facial expression. The proposed method classifies four basic emotions (normal, happy, sad and angry). To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, we assess the ratio of success with common datasets, and we achieve the best 93% accuracy, average 82.2% in facial emotion recognition. The results show that the proposed method effectively performed well over the emotion recognition, compared to the existing schemes.

And feature importance has been utilized in selecting better input features that can improve performance of data analysis models for several application areas. In this paper, a method of utilizing feature importance calculated from the MDI method and its effects are investigated in the credit card customer churn prediction problem with classification trees. Compared with several random feature selections from case data, a set of input features selected from higher value of feature importance shows higher predictive power. It can be an efficient method for classifying and choosing input features necessary for improving prediction performance.

  • In this paper a new feature extraction and target classification method is proposed for the recognition part of FLIR(Forwar Looking Infrared)-image-based ATR system. Proposed feature extraction method is "cluster(=set of classes)-based"version of previous fisherfaces method that is known by its robustness to illumination changes in face recognition. Expecially introduced class clustering and cluster-based projection method maximizes the performance of fisherfaces method. Proposed target image classification method is based on the mixture of experts model which consists of RBF-type experts and MLP-type gating networks. Mixture of experts model is well-suited with ATR system because it should recognizee various targets in complexed feature space by variously mixed conditions. In proposed classification method, one expert takes charge of one cluster and the separated structure with experts reduces the complexity of feature space and achieves more accurate local discrimination between classes. Proposed feature extraction and classification method showed distinguished performances in recognition test with customized. FLIR-vehicle-image database. Expecially robustness to pixelwise sensor noise and un-wanted intensity variations was verified by simulation.
