Pattern recognition systems are widely used in a host of different fields. Due to some reasons such as lack of knowledge about a method based on which the best classifier is detected for any arbitrary problem, and thanks to significant improvement in accuracy, researchers turn to ensemble methods in almost every task of pattern recognition. Classification as a major task in pattern recognition,...

the concept of intelligently controlling the search process of gravitational search algorithm (gsa) is introduced to develop a novel data mining technique. the proposed method is called fuzzy gsa miner (fgsa-miner). at first a fuzzy controller is designed for adaptively controlling the gravitational coefficient and the number of effective objects, as two important parameters which play major ro...

computer aided pulmonary nodule detection has been among major research topics lately to help for early treatment of lung cancer which is the most lethal kind of cancer worldwide.some evidence suggests that periodic screening tests with the ct of patients will help in reducing the mortality rate caused by the lung cancer. acomplete and accurate computer aided diagnosis (cad) system for detectio...

background: the time and frequency features of motor unit action potentials (muaps) extracted from electromyographic (emg) signal provide discriminative information for diagnosis and treatment of neuromuscular disorders. however, the results of conventional automatic diagnosis methods using muap features is not convincing yet. objective: the main goal in designing a muap characterization system...
