In this paper, a method for automatic classification of learning objects is proposed for effective management and reuse of learning contents. Proposed method will create cohesion of learning objects using cases of learning objects and perform automatic classification of learning objects by measuring their relationship based on cohesion. Application of proposed method to learning management system has the advantage of reducing the costs for developing learning contents. Simulation has shown the average accuracy of 28.20% with probability-based method and 56.38% with cohesion-based method. Simulation has proved that the method proposed in this paper is effective in automatic classification of learning objects.

Classification is to generate a rule of classifying objects into several categories based on the learning sample. Good classification model should classify new objects with low misclassification error. Many types of classification methods have been developed including logistic regression, discriminant analysis and tree. This paper presents a new classification method using penalized partial least squares. Penalized partial least squares can make the model more robust and remedy multicollinearity problem. This paper compares the proposed method with logistic regression and PCA based discriminant analysis by some real and artificial data. It is concluded that the new method has better power as compared with other methods.

Conventionally, identification and classification methods of natural products include the morphological survey and assay of chemical disposition, sing these methods, however, is not satisfying for the precise identification of natural products because they are often valiable in the compositions and morphology To standardize the natural products identification and classification, genomic DNA analysis such as RAPD, RFLP and Amp-FLP can be adopted for this purpose. In this study, various ginsengs and bear gall bladder were tested for the development of genetic identification and classification method. Varieties of ginsengs such as, P. ginseng, P. quinquefolium, P. japonicus and P. notoginseng, were genetically analyzed by RAPD. Also, DNA isolated from Bear blood and gall bladder, Ursus thibetanus, Ursus americanus and Ursus arctos, were analyzed by the same method. The results demonstrated that the identification and classification of bear gall bladder and various ginsengs were possible by RAPD analysis. Therefore, this method was thought to be used as a additional method for the identification and classification of other natural products.

This paper proposes the method of surface classification and threshold value selection for surface classification of the three-dimensional object recognition. The processings of three-dimensional image processing system consist of three steps, i.e, acquisition of range data, feature extraction and matching process. This paper proposes the method of shape feature extraction from the acquired rage data in the entire three-dimensional image processing system. In order to achieve these goals, firstly, this article proposes the surface classification method by using the distribution characteristics of sign value from range values. Also pre-existing method which uses the K-curvature and K-curvature has limitation in the practical threshold value selection. To overcome this, this article proposes the selection of threshold value for surface classification. Finally, the effectiveness of this article is demonstrated by the several experiments.

Plant leaf classification is a significant application of image processing techniques in modern agriculture. In this paper, a multi-granular angle description method is proposed for plant leaf classification and retrieval. The proposed method can describe leaf information from coarse to fine using multi-granular angle features. In the proposed method, each leaf contour is partitioned first with equal arc length under different granularities. And then three kinds of angle features are derived under each granular partition of leaf contour: angle value, angle histogram, and angular ternary pattern. These multi-granular angle features can capture both local and globe information of the leaf contour, and make a comprehensive description. In leaf matching stage, the simple city block metric is used to compute the dissimilarity of each pair of leaf under different granularities. And the matching scores at different granularities are fused based on quotient space theory to obtain the final leaf similarity measurement. Plant leaf classification and retrieval experiments are conducted on two challenging leaf image databases: Swedish leaf database and Flavia leaf database. The experimental results and the comparison with state-of-the-art methods indicate that proposed method has promising classification and retrieval performance.

The traditional classification methods mostly assume that the data for class distribution is balanced, while imbalanced data is widely found in the real world. So it is important to solve the problem of classification with imbalanced data. In Mahalanobis-Taguchi system (MTS) algorithm, data classification model is constructed with the reference space and measurement reference scale which is come from a single normal group, and thus it is suitable to handle the imbalanced data problem. In this paper, an improved method of MTS-CBPSO is constructed by introducing the chaotic mapping and binary particle swarm optimization algorithm instead of orthogonal array and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to select the valid variables, in which G-means, F-measure, dimensionality reduction are regarded as the classification optimization target. This proposed method is also applied to the financial distress prediction of Chinese listed companies. Compared with the traditional MTS and the common classification methods such as SVM, C4.5, k-NN, it is showed that the MTS-CBPSO method has better result of prediction accuracy and dimensionality reduction.

As the number of spectral bands of high spectral resolution data increases, the capability to detect more detailed classes should also increase, and the classification accuracy should increase as well. Often, it is impossible to access enough training pixels for supervise classification. For this reason, the performance of traditional classification methods isn't useful. In this paper, we propose a new model for classification that operates based on decision fusion. In this classifier, learning is performed at two steps. In first step, only training samples are used and in second step, this classifier utilizes semilabeled samples in addition to original training samples. At the beginning of this method, spectral bands are categorized in several small groups. Information of each group is used as a new source and classified. Each of this primary classifier has special characteristics and discriminates the spectral space particularly. With using of the benefits of all primary classifiers, it is made sure that the results of the fused local decisions are accurate enough. In decision fusion center, some rules are used to determine the final class of pixels. This method is applied to real remote sensing data. Results show classification performance is improved, and this method may solve the limitation of training samples in the high dimensional data and the Hughes phenomenon may be mitigated.

Background and Objectives Scope classification is designed to classify acute epiglottitis according to laryngoscopic findings. There is no report about the utility of classification; the difference between the diagnosis and the prognosis by the Scope classification was not found. The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of Scope classification in patients with acute epiglottitis. Subject and Method 127 patients who had been admitted to our hospital were diagnosed with acute epiglottitis. The patients were classified by the Scope classification. We compared demographic characteristics, clinical symptoms and signs, laboratory findings, and clinical course among the patient groups and divided the results according to the Scope classification. Results There are no significant differences among the groups in demographic characteristics, clinical symptoms and signs, laboratory findings, and clinical course. Conclusion The Scope classification of acute epiglottitis does not seem to be a method to evaluate the severity of acute epiglottitis. Thus, we need to develop multidisciplinary approaches for acute epiglottitis.

Integration of GIS data and human expert knowledge into digital image processing has long been acknowledged as a necessity to improve remote sensing image analysis. We propose inductive machine learning algorithm for GIS data integration and rule-based classification method for land cover classification. Proposed method is tested with a land cover classification of a Landsat ETM+ multispectral image and GIS data layers including elevation, aspect, slope, distance to water bodies, distance to road network, and population density. Decision trees and production rules for land cover classification are generated by C5.0 inductive machine learning algorithm with 350 stratified random point samples. Production rules are used for land cover classification integrated with unsupervised ISODATA classification. Result shows that GIS data layers such as elevation, distance to water bodies and population density can be effectively integrated for rule-based image classification. Intuitive production rules generated by inductive machine learning are easy to understand. Proposed method demonstrates how various GIS data layers can be integrated with remotely sensed imagery in a framework of knowledge base construction to improve land cover classification.

With the recent introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, the use of data is rapidly increasing, and newly generated data is also rapidly increasing. In order to obtain the results to be analyzed based on these data, the first thing to do is to classify the data well. However, when classifying data, if only one classification technique belonging to the machine learning technique is applied to classify and analyze it, an error of overfitting can be accompanied. In order to reduce or minimize the problems caused by misclassification of the classification system such as overfitting, it is necessary to derive an optimal classification by comparing the results of each classification by applying several classification techniques. If you try to interpret the data with only one classification technique, you will have poor reasoning and poor predictions of results. This study seeks to find a method for optimally classifying data by looking at data from various perspectives and applying various classification techniques such as LDA and QDA, such as linear or nonlinear classification, as a process before data analysis in data analysis. In order to obtain the reliability and sophistication of statistics as a result of big data analysis, it is necessary to analyze the meaning of each variable and the correlation between the variables. If the data is classified differently from the hypothesis test from the beginning, even if the analysis is performed well, unreliable results will be obtained. In other words, prior to big data analysis, it is necessary to ensure that data is well classified to suit the purpose of analysis. This is a process that must be performed before reaching the result by analyzing the data, and it may be a method of optimal data classification.
