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...

We developed a hybrid design to a NIDS that enables the seamless insertion of a machine learning component into a signature NIDS system that significantly improves throughput as well as captures additional networking traffic that is similar to known attack traffic. The throughput improvement by incorporating a normalcy classifier is significant, estimated to be the inverse of the false alarm ra...

In this paper we present an hybrid approach which integrate Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) algorithms and Genetic Algorithms (GAs) to design an optimal classifier for the specific classification problem. This integration allows automatic generation of an classifier system, with an optimized subset of features, from a database of examples. The generated classifier strongly outperform the classic FCM algori...

Texture analysis and classification remain as one of the biggest challenges for the field of computer vision and pattern recognition. This article presents a robust hybrid combination technique to build a combined classifier that is able to tackle the problem of classification of rotation-invariant 2D textures. Diversity in the components of the combined classifier is enforced through variation...

breast cancer is the second largest cause of cancer deaths among women. at the same time, it is also among the most curable cancer types if it can be diagnosed early. this paper presents a novel hybrid intelligent method for recognition of breast cancer tumors. the proposed method includes three main modules: the feature extraction module, the classifier module and the optimization module. in t...

This paper describes a hybrid design for intrusion detection that combines anomaly detection with misuse detection. The proposed method includes an ensemble feature selecting classifier and a data mining classifier. The former consists of four classifiers using different sets of features and each of them employs a machine learning algorithm named fuzzy belief k-NN classification algorithm. The ...

In this paper, a new hybrid methodology is introduced to design a cost-sensitive fuzzy rule-based classification system. A novel cost metric is proposed based on the combination of three different concepts: Entropy, Gini index and DKM criterion. In order to calculate the effective cost of patterns, a hybrid of fuzzy c-means clustering and particle swarm optimization algorithm is utilized. This ...
