Noise Clipping Algorithm Based On Relative Contribution Rate, Shuoyu Liu, Yueming Dai Dec 2019

Noise Clipping Algorithm Based On Relative Contribution Rate, Shuoyu Liu, Yueming Dai

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: This paper presents a class noise cutting algorithm (Class noise cutting, CNC) based on relative contribution rate. The algorithm calculates the relative contribution rate of features to the theme. The most valuable feature set is selected by using features distinguish rating. The corresponding candidate categories for each feature are selected, to reduece the candidate category set, improves the classification accuracy, and speed up the response speed of the classifier. Compared with another ECN noise cutting algorithm (Eliminating the class whose), CNC-has higher accuracy and because of its simpler feature dimension dictionary and better candidate category set, the response …


Sensor - Based Human Activity Recognition Using Smartphones, Mustafa Badshah May 2019

Sensor - Based Human Activity Recognition Using Smartphones, Mustafa Badshah

Master's Projects

It is a significant technical and computational task to provide precise information regarding the activity performed by a human and find patterns of their behavior. Countless applications can be molded and various problems in domains of virtual reality, health and medical, entertainment and security can be solved with advancements in human activity recognition (HAR) systems. HAR is an active field for research for more than a decade, but certain aspects need to be addressed to improve the system and revolutionize the way humans interact with smartphones. This research provides a holistic view of human activity recognition system architecture and discusses …


Distributed Multi-Label Learning On Apache Spark, Jorge Gonzalez Lopez Jan 2019

Distributed Multi-Label Learning On Apache Spark, Jorge Gonzalez Lopez

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis proposes a series of multi-label learning algorithms for classification and feature selection implemented on the Apache Spark distributed computing model. Five approaches for determining the optimal architecture to speed up multi-label learning methods are presented. These approaches range from local parallelization using threads to distributed computing using independent or shared memory spaces. It is shown that the optimal approach performs hundreds of times faster than the baseline method. Three distributed multi-label k nearest neighbors methods built on top of the Spark architecture are proposed: an exact iterative method that computes pair-wise distances, an approximate tree-based method that indexes …


Feature Set Selection For Improved Classification Of Static Analysis Alerts, Kathleen Goeschel Jan 2019

Feature Set Selection For Improved Classification Of Static Analysis Alerts, Kathleen Goeschel

CCE Theses and Dissertations

With the extreme growth in third party cloud applications, increased exposure of applications to the internet, and the impact of successful breaches, improving the security of software being produced is imperative. Static analysis tools can alert to quality and security vulnerabilities of an application; however, they present developers and analysts with a high rate of false positives and unactionable alerts. This problem may lead to the loss of confidence in the scanning tools, possibly resulting in the tools not being used. The discontinued use of these tools may increase the likelihood of insecure software being released into production. Insecure software …


Data Patterns Discovery Using Unsupervised Learning, Rachel A. Lewis Jan 2019

Data Patterns Discovery Using Unsupervised Learning, Rachel A. Lewis

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Self-care activities classification poses significant challenges in identifying children’s unique functional abilities and needs within the exceptional children healthcare system. The accuracy of diagnosing a child's self-care problem, such as toileting or dressing, is highly influenced by an occupational therapists’ experience and time constraints. Thus, there is a need for objective means to detect and predict in advance the self-care problems of children with physical and motor disabilities. We use clustering to discover interesting information from self-care problems, perform automatic classification of binary data, and discover outliers. The advantages are twofold: the advancement of knowledge on identifying self-care problems in …
