A self-adaptive weighted affinity propagation clustering for key frames extraction on human action recognition

In this paper, we propose a novel approach for key frames extraction on human action recognition from 3D video sequences. To represent human actions, an Energy Feature (EF), combining kinetic energy and potential energy, is extracted from 3D video sequences. A Self-adaptive Weighted Affinity Propagation (SWAP) algorithm is then proposed to extract the key frames. Finally, we employ SVM to recognize human actions on the EFs of selected key frames. The experiments show the information including whole action course can be effectively extracted by our method, and we obtain good recognition performance without losing classification accuracy. Moreover, the recognition speed is greatly improved.

A New Optimized Wrapper Gene Selection Method for Breast Cancer Prediction

Machine-learning algorithms have been widely used in breast cancer diagnosis to help pathologists and physicians in the decision-making process. However, the high dimensionality of genetic data makes the classification process a challenging task. In this paper, we propose a new optimized wrapper gene selection method that is based on a nature-inspired algorithm (simulated annealing (SA)), which will help select the most informative genes for breast cancer prediction. These optimal genes will then be used to train the classifier to improve its accuracy and efficiency. Three supervised machine-learning algorithms, namely, the support vector machine, the decision tree, and the random forest were used to create the classifier models that will help to predict breast cancer. Two different experiments were conducted using three datasets: Gene expression (GE), deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation, and a combination of the two. Six measures were used to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, which include the following: Accuracy, precision, recall, specificity, area under the curve (AUC), and execution time. The effectiveness of the proposed classifiers was evaluated through comprehensive experiments. The results demonstrated that our approach outperformed the conventional classifiers as expected in terms of accuracy and execution time. High accuracy values of 99.77%, 99.45%, and 99.45% have been achieved by SA-SVM for GE, DNA methylation, and the combined datasets, respectively. The execution time of the proposed approach was significantly reduced, in comparison to that of the traditional classifiers and the best execution time has been reached by SA-SVM, which was 0.02, 0.03, and 0.02 on GE, DNA methylation, and the combined datasets respectively. In regard to precision and specificity, SA-RF obtained the best result of 100 on GE dataset. While SA-SVM attained the best recall result of 100 on GE dataset.     

Hybrid Segmentation Scheme for Skin Features Extraction Using Dermoscopy Images

Objective and quantitative assessment of skin conditions is essential for cosmeceutical studies and research on skin aging and skin regeneration. Various handcraft-based image processing methods have been proposed to evaluate skin conditions objectively, but they have unavoidable disadvantages when used to analyze skin features accurately. This study proposes a hybrid segmentation scheme consisting of Deeplab v3+ with an Inception-ResNet-v2 backbone, LightGBM, and morphological processing (MP) to overcome the shortcomings of handcraft-based approaches. First, we apply Deeplab v3+ with an Inception-ResNet-v2 backbone for pixel segmentation of skin wrinkles and cells. Then, LightGBM and MP are used to enhance the pixel segmentation quality. Finally, we determine several skin features based on the results of wrinkle and cell segmentation. Our proposed segmentation scheme achieved a mean accuracy of 0.854, mean of intersection over union of 0.749, and mean boundary F1 score of 0.852, which achieved 1.1%, 6.7%, and 14.8% improvement over the panoptic-based semantic segmentation method, respectively.
