This working note summarizes our submission to the LifeCLEF 2014 Bird Task which combines the outputs from a Python and Matlab classification system. The features used for both systems include Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC), time-averaged spectrograms and the provided meta-data. The Python subsystem combines a large ensemble of different classifiers with different subsets of the fea...

For ensemble learning, how to select and combine the candidate classifiers are two key issues which influence the performance of the ensemble system dramatically. Random vector functional link networks (RVFL) without direct input-to-output links is one of suitable base-classifiers for ensemble systems because of its fast learning speed, simple structure and good generalization performance. In t...

Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) is a medical problem that responsible for over 300,000 deaths per year in the United States and millions worldwide. SCD defined as death occurring from within one hour of onset acute symptoms, an unwitnessed absence pre-existing progressive circulatory failures or other causes deaths, during attempted resuscitation. due to cardiac reasons leading cause among Congestiv...

One advantage of evolutionary multiobjective optimization (EMO) algorithms over classical approaches is that many non-dominated solutions can be simultaneously obtained by their single run. In this paper, we propose an idea of using EMO algorithms for constructing an ensemble of fuzzy rule-based classifiers with high diversity. The classification of new patterns is performed based on the vote o...
