We compare the performance of Bayesian Belief Networks (BBN), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) networks and Alternating Decision Trees (ADtree) on separating quasars from stars with the database from the 2MASS and FIRST survey catalogs. Having a training sample of sources of known object types, the classifiers are trained to separate quasars from stars. By the statistical properties of the sample, t...

Binary Support Vector Machines have proven to deliver high performance. In multi-class classification, however, issues remain with respect to variable selection. One challenging issue is classification and variable selection in presence of a large number of variables in the magnitude of thousands, which greatly exceeds the size of training sample. This often occurs in genomics classification. T...

The right and left hand Motor Imagery (MI) analysis based on the electroencephalogram (EEG) signal can directly link the central nervous system to a computer or a device. This study aims to identify a set of robust and nonlinear effective brain connectivity features quantified by transfer entropy (TE) to characterize the relationship between brain regions from EEG signals and create a hierarchi...

This paper proposes a new cloud intrusion detection system for detecting the intruders in a traditional hybrid virtualized, cloud environment. The paper introduces an effective feature selection algorithm called Temporal Constraint based on Feature Selection algorithm and also proposes a classification algorithm called hybrid decision tree. This hybrid decision tree has been developed by extend...

Gene expression profiles obtained by high-throughput techniques such as microarray provide a snapshot of expression values of up to ten thousands genes in a particular tissue sample. Analyzing such gene expression data can be quite cumbersome as the sample size is small, the dimensionality is high, and the data are occasionally noisy. Kernel methods such as Support Vector Machines (SVMs) [5, 45...

BACKGROUND Microarray techniques provide promising tools for cancer diagnosis using gene expression profiles. However, molecular diagnosis based on high-throughput platforms presents great challenges due to the overwhelming number of variables versus the small sample size and the complex nature of multi-type tumors. Support vector machines (SVMs) have shown superior performance in cancer classi...

classification ensemble, which uses the weighed polling of outputs, is the art of combining a set of basic classifiers for generating high-performance, robust and more stable results. this study aims to improve the results of identifying the persian handwritten letters using error correcting output coding (ecoc) ensemble method. furthermore, the feature selection is used to reduce the costs of ...
