Clinical Study and automatic diagnosis of electrocardiogram (ECG) data always remain a challenge in diagnosing cardiovascular activities. The analysis of ECG data relies on various factors like morphological features, classification techniques, methods or models used to diagnose and its performance improvement. Another crucial factor in the methodology is how to train the model for each patient. Existing approaches use standard training model which faces challenges when training data has variation due to individual patient characteristics resulting in a lower detection accuracy. This paper proposes an adaptive approach to identify performance improvement in building a training model that analyze global training methodology against an individual training methodology and identifying a gap between them. We provide our investigation and comparative study on these methods and model with standard classification techniques with basic morphological features and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) that may aid real time application. This approach helps in analyzing and evaluating the performance of different techniques and can suggests adoption of a best model identification with efficient technique and efficient attribute set for real-time systems.

Loss function plays an important role in data classification. Manyloss functions have been proposed and applied to differentclassification problems. This paper proposes a new so called thesmoothed 0-1 loss function, that could be considered as anapproximation of the classical 0-1 loss function. Due to thenon-convexity property of the proposed loss function, globaloptimization methods are required to solve the correspondingoptimization problems. Together with the proposed loss function, wecompare the performance of several existing loss functions in theclassification of noisy data sets. In this comparison, differentoptimization problems are considered in regards to the convexity andsmoothness of different loss functions. The experimental resultsshow that the proposed smoothed 0-1 loss function works better ondata sets with noisy labels, noisy features, and outliers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study empirically evaluates the effectiveness of different feature types for the classification of the first language of an author. In particular, it examines the utility of psycholinguistic features, extracted by the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count ( LIWC) tool, that have not previously been applied to the task of author profiling. As LIWC is a tool that has been developed in the psycholinguistic field rather than the computational linguistics field, it was hypothesized that it would be effective, both as a single type feature set because of its psycholinguistic basis, and in combination with other feature sets, because it should be sufficiently different to add insight rather than redundancy. It was found that LIWC features were competitive with previously used feature types in identifying the first language of an author, and that combined feature sets including LIWC features consistently showed better accuracy rates and average F measures than were achieved by the same feature sets without the LIWC features. As a secondary issue, this study also examined how effectively first language classification scaled up to a larger number of possible languages. It was found that the classification scheme scaled up effectively to the entire 16 language collection from the International Corpus of Learner English, when compared with results achieved on just 5 languages in previous research.

: Automatic electrocardiogram (ECG) signal analysis for heart disease detection has gained significant attention due to busy lifestyles. However, ECG signals are susceptible to noise, which adversely affects the performance of ECG signal analysers. Traditional blind filtering methods use predefined noise frequency and filter order, but they alter ECG biomarkers. Several Deep Learning-based ECG noise detection and classification methods exist, but no study compares recurrent neural network (RNN) and convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures and their complexity. This paper introduces a knowledge-based ECG filtering system using Deep Learning to classify ECG noise types and compare popular computer vision model architectures in a practical Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) framework. Experimental results demonstrate that the CNN-based ECG noise classifier outperforms the RNN-based model in terms of performance and training time. The study shows that AlexNet, visual geometry group (VGG), and residual network (ResNet) achieved over 70% accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, and F1 score across six datasets. VGG and ResNet performances were comparable, but VGG was more complex than ResNet, with only a 4.57% less F1 score. This paper introduces a Deep Learning (DL) based ECG noise classifier for a knowledge-driven ECG filtering system, offering selective filtering to reduce signal distortion. Evaluation of various CNN and RNN-based models reveals VGG and Resnet outperform. Further, the VGG model is superior in terms of performance. But Resnet performs comparably to VGG with less model complexity. • Propose a knowledge-based filtering system to improve quality of ECG biomarkers. • Improve biomarkers used for cardiovascular detection in various environments. • Assess model's adaptability across diverse datasets to test model generalisation.

Abstract: The endomorphism monoids of graphs have been actively investigated. They are convenient tools expressing asymmetries of the graphs. One of the most important classes of graphs considered in this framework is that of Cayley graphs. Our paper proposes a new method of using Cayley graphs for classification of data. We give a survey of recent results devoted to the Cayley graphs also involving their endomorphism monoids. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
