For the identification of events, three time domain measures were extracted from each of the overlapping short segment windows of respiration signal. The feature set includes area, upper 90th percentile and variance, which were used to characterize changes in the airflow signal during normal and abnormal breathing events (i.e., apnea, hypopnea). An ensemble of three binary Support Vector Machine (SVM) based classifiers arranged in one-against-all strategy, were used to classify the feature vector among three categories, according to its origin from some breathing events like normal, apnea and hypopnea. The consecutive decisions of classifier model on time sequenced consecutive overlapped windows were combined by some heuristic rules to identify abnormal breathing events from normal breathings. In this study, 14 polysomnography (PSG) recordings diagnosed as obstructive sleep apnea syndrome were analyzed. Independent test was performed on 6 recordings. The cross-validation and independent test accuracies of apneic event detection were found to be 93.3% and 92.8%, respectively. For hypopnea event these two accuracies were 90.1% and 89.6%. The proposed system can be used for home based monitoring of suspected apneic subject, and can count total number of apnea and hypopnea events occurred during sleep.","PeriodicalId":194103,"journal":{"name":"2012 Third International Conference on Emerging Applications of Information Technology","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131177381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The MRO mainly uses the concept of density to overcome the challenges posed by RO. The algorithm is tested with standard test functions and also discussions are made to improve the efficacy of the MRO algorithm.

In this paper we present a supervised machine learning approach based on Conditional Random Fields (CRF) to find mentions of IUPAC and IUPAC-like names in scientific text. We identify and implement a very rich feature set for the task without using any domain specific knowledge and/or resources. Experiments are carried out on the benchmark MEDLINE datasets.

This paper proposes an interface of constant environment monitoring of a region using Python programming language in GRASS GIS. The major objective of this paper is to access GRASS map using Python script without starting GRASS from the outside. This interface is capable of displaying stored data from the database for each deployed sensor, as well as its neighboring sensors. Previously deployed sensors can be moved on the basis of coordinate (latitude and longitude) and this movement can be shown through this interface at runtime.","PeriodicalId":194103,"journal":{"name":"2012 Third International Conference on Emerging Applications of Information Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126442362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since both Hurst Exponent and Fractal Dimension has a large inter individual variability, we used these features of consecutive sessions to study the intersession variability of classification accuracy of the proposed classifiers.

Availability of the user-requested data in a materialized view indicates the efficacy of the materialized view creation process. A review of the existing research work reveals a gap in analyzing the inter-attribute affinity while creating the materialized views. This paper proposes a new methodology for materialized view creation by quantifying the association among the independent data attributes. This is done based on the usage of different attributes in the recently executed set of queries. Statistical analysis on existing query set help to predict the attributes likely to be used for future queries.

In order to identify such regions, the idea of Artificial Bee Colony Optimization has been utilized in the present work. The technique is evaluated to pin point the set of local regions offering optimal discriminating feature set for handwritten numeral and character recognition. Initially, 8 directional gradient features are extracted from every region of different levels of partitions created using a CG based Quad Tree partitioning approach. Then, using the present approach, at each level, sampling process is done based on support Vector Machine (SVM) in every single region. Applying the technique we have gained 33%, 14%, 9%, 19%interms of region reduction and 0.2%, 0.4%, 0%, 1.6% in terms of recognition for Arabic, Hindi, Telugu numerals and Bangla Basic character datasets respectively. Though the success rate has not improved significantly for all the datasets, sizable amount of reduction in regions has occurred for every dataset using the present technique. Thus the cost and time of feature extraction is reduced significantly without dropping the general recognition rate.","PeriodicalId":194103,"journal":{"name":"2012 Third International Conference on Emerging Applications of Information Technology","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126949295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
