Classifieur linéaire | EPFL Graph Search

En apprentissage automatique, les classifieurs linéaires sont une famille d'algorithmes de classement statistique. Le rôle d'un classifieur est de classer dans des groupes (des classes) les échantillons qui ont des propriétés similaires, mesurées sur des observations. Un classifieur linéaire est un type particulier de classifieur, qui calcule la décision par combinaison linéaire des échantillons. Terminologie « Classifieur linéaire » est une traduction de l'anglais linear classifier. En français, selon les pays, les communautés et les personnes, ce terme peut être remplacé par discrimination linéaire, ou apprentissage de surface séparatrice linéaire. Pour les statisticiens, ces méthodes sont parfois classées en tant que méthodes d'analyse discriminante. Définition Pour un vecteur d'observation x, à valeur dans \mathbb{R}^N, la sortie du classifieur est donnée par : :g(x) = f(w^Tx+w_0) = f\left(\sum_{j=1}^N w_j x_j+w_0\right), où

Kernel Density Estimation of Electromyographic Signals and Ensemble Learning for Highly Accurate Classification of a Large Set of Hand/Wrist Motions

Parviz Ghaderi

The performance of myoelectric control highly depends on the features extracted from surface electromyographic (sEMG) signals. We propose three new sEMG features based on the kernel density estimation. The trimmed mean of density (TMD), the entropy of density, and the trimmed mean absolute value of derivative density were computed for each sEMG channel. These features were tested for the classification of single tasks as well as of two tasks concurrently performed. For single tasks, correlation-based feature selection was used, and the features were then classified using linear discriminant analysis (LDA), non-linear support vector machines, and multi-layer perceptron. The eXtreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) classifier was used for the classification of two movements simultaneously performed. The second and third versions of the Ninapro dataset (conventional control) and Ameri's movement dataset (simultaneous control) were used to test the proposed features. For the Ninapro dataset, the overall accuracy of LDA using the TMD feature was 98.99 +/- 1.36% and 92.25 +/- 9.48% for able-bodied and amputee subjects, respectively. Using ensemble learning of the three classifiers, the average macro and micro-F-score, macro recall, and precision on the validation sets were 98.23 +/- 2.02, 98.32 +/- 1.93, 98.32 +/- 1.93, and 98.88 +/- 1.31%, respectively, for the intact subjects. The movement misclassification percentage was 1.75 +/- 1.73 and 3.44 +/- 2.23 for the intact subjects and amputees. The proposed features were significantly correlated with the movement classes [Generalized Linear Model (GLM); P-value < 0.05]. An accurate online implementation of the proposed algorithm was also presented. For the simultaneous control, the overall accuracy was 99.71 +/- 0.08 and 97.85 +/- 0.10 for the XGBoost and LDA classifiers, respectively. The proposed features are thus promising for conventional and simultaneous myoelectric control.

A neural network for classification with incomplete data: application to robust ASR

Hervé Bourlard

If the data vector for input to an automatic classifier is incomplete, the optimal estimate for each class probability must be calculated as the expected value of the classifier output. We identify a form of RBF classifier whose expected outputs can easily be evaluated in terms of the original function parameters. We then describe two ways in which this classifier can be applied to robust automatic speech recognition, depending on whether or not the position of missing data is known

Making Action Recognition Robust to Occlusions and Viewpoint Changes

Pascal Fua, Mustafa Özuysal, Daniel Weinland

Most state-of-the-art approaches to action recognition rely on global representations either by concatenating local information in a long descriptor vector or by computing a single location independent histogram. This limits their performance in presence of occlusions and when running on multiple viewpoints. We propose a novel approach to providing robustness to both occlusions and viewpoint changes that yields significant improvements over existing techniques. At its heart is a local partitioning and hierarchical classification of the 3D Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) descriptor to represent sequences of images that have been concatenated into a data volume. We achieve robustness to occlusions and viewpoint changes by combining training data from all viewpoints to train classifiers that estimate action labels independently over sets of HOG blocks. A top level classifier combines these local labels into a global action class decision.
