This paper reports the investigations and experimental procedures conducted for designing an automatic sleep classification tool basedconly in the features extracted with wavelets from EEG, EMG and EOG (electro encephalo-mio- and oculo-gram) signals, without any visual aid or context-based evaluation. Real data collected from infants was processed and classified by several traditional and bio-inspired...
Research in systems biology integrates experimental, theoretical, and modeling techniques to study and understand biological processes such as gene regulation. The genomic sequences for human and other model organisms such as yeast and bacteria are already established. The next major step is to discover functional roles of genes whose functions are not yet discovered and to investigate how genes interact...
This paper aims to assess the effectiveness of three different clustering algorithms, used to detect breast cancer recurrent events. The performance of a classical k-means algorithm is compared with a much more sophisticated Self-Organizing Map (SOM-Kohonen network) and a cluster network, closely related to both k-means and SOM. The three clustering algorithms have been applied on a concrete breast...
This paper discusses the application of two unsupervised methods in classifying type of soils. Soils that are suitable for agricultural activities can be classified into four classes which are hill soil, organic soil, alteration soil and alluvium soil. In addition, no specific support system is able to classify the type of soil and retrieve the information for location and suitable plants for local...
It is well known that the problem arising from high dimensionality of data should be considered in pattern recognition field. Face recognition databases are usually high dimensionality, especially when limited training samples are available for each subject. Traditional techniques perform dimensionality reduction are unable to solve this problem smoothly, which makes feature extraction task much difficult...
Since the outset of the deregulation of international financial markets in the 1980s, the frequency of currency crises has increased. Solely in the 1990s, five global storms of financial turmoil, also including collapses of the currency, have occurred. To date, crisis forecasting and monitoring of financial stability is still at a preliminary stage. This paper explores whether the application of the...
Co-occurrence data matrices arise frequently in various important applications such as a document clustering. By considering a multinomial mixture model, we present a new probabilistic Self-Organizing Map (SOM) for clustering and visualizing this kind of data. Contrary to SOM, our proposed learning algorithm optimizes an objective function. Its performances are evaluated by using Monte Carlo simulations...
