Optimized Bilevel Classifier For Brain Tumor Type And Grade Discrimination Using Evolutionary Fuzzy Computing, Kavitha Srinivasan, Mohanavalli Subramaniam, Bharathi Bhagavathsingh
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, an optimized bilevel brain tumor diagnostic system for identifying the tumor type at the first level and grade of the identified tumor at the second level is proposed using genetic algorithm, decision tree, and fuzzy rule-based approach. The dataset is composed of axial MRI of brain tumor types and grades. From the images, various features such as first and second order statistical and textural features are extracted (26 features). In the first level, tumor type classification was done using decision tree constructed with all features. Further evolutionary computing using genetic algorithms (GA) was applied to select the …

Identification of criminal structures within very large social networks is an essential security feat. By identifying such structures, it may be possible to track, neutralize, and terminate the corresponding criminal organizations before they act. We evaluate the effectiveness of three different methods for classifying an unknown network as terrorist, cocaine, or noncriminal. We consider three methods for the identification of network types: evaluating common social network analysis metrics, modeling with a decision tree, and network motif frequency analysis. The empirical results show that these three methods can provide significant improvements in distinguishing all three network types. We show that these …

A Postpruning Decision Algorithm Based On Loss Minimization, Ahmed M. Ahmed, Ali̇ Hakan Ulusoy, Ahmet Ri̇zaner
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, a post-pruning method known as zero-one loss function pruning (ZOLFP) that is based on zero-one loss function is introduced. The proposed ZOLFP method minimizes the expected loss, rather than evaluating the misclassification error rate of a node and its subtree. The subtree is pruned when expected loss of the node is less than or equal to the sum of the loss of its leaves. The experimental results demonstrate that ZOLFP method outperforms. Un-pruned C4.5 Decision Tree (UDT-C4.5) algorithm, reduced error pruning (REP), and minimum error pruning (MEP) in terms of performance accuracy in all used datasets. It …
