Automatic channel selection using shuffled frog leaping algorithm for EEG bas...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Drug addiction is a complex neurobiological disorder that necessitates comprehensive treatment of both the body and mind. It is categorized as a brain disorder due to its impact on the brain. Various methods such as electroencephalography (EEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI), and magnetoencephalography (MEG) can capture brain activities and structures. EEG signals provide valuable insights into neurological disorders, including drug addiction. Accurate classification of drug addiction from EEG signals relies on appropriate features and channel selection. Choosing the right EEG channels is essential to reduce computational costs and mitigate the risk of overfitting associated with using all available channels. To address the challenge of optimal channel selection in addiction detection from EEG signals, this work employs the shuffled frog leaping algorithm (SFLA). SFLA facilitates the selection of appropriate channels, leading to improved accuracy. Wavelet features extracted from the selected input channel signals are then analyzed using various machine learning classifiers to detect addiction. Experimental results indicate that after selecting features from the appropriate channels, classification accuracy significantly increased across all classifiers. Particularly, the multi-layer perceptron (MLP) classifier combined with SFLA demonstrated a remarkable accuracy improvement of 15.78% while reducing time complexity.

EEG Classification using Semi Supervised Learningijtsrd
The major challenge in the current brain–computer interface research is the accurate classification of time varying electroencephalographic EEG signals. The labeled EEG samples are usually scarce, while the unlabeled samples are available in large quantities and easy to collect in real applications. Semi supervised learning SSL methods can utilize both labeled and unlabeled data to improve performance over supervised approaches. However, it has been reported that the unlabeled data may undermine the performance of SSL in some cases. This study proposes a three stages technique for automatic detection of epileptic seizure in EEG signals. In practical application of pattern recognition, there are often diverse features extracted from raw data which needs to be recognized. Proposed method is based on time series signal, spectral analysis and recurrent neural networks RNNs . Decision making was performed in three stages i feature extraction using Welch method power spectrum density estimation PSD ii dimensionality reduction using statistics over extracted features and time series signal samples iii EEG classification using recurrent neural networks. This study shows that Welch method power spectrum density estimation is an appropriate feature which well represents EEG signals. We achieved higher classification accuracy specificity, sensitivity, classification accuracy in comparison with other researches to classify EEG signals exactly 100 in this study. To improve the safety of SSL, we proposed a new safety control mechanism by analyzing the differences between unlabeled data analysis in supervised and semi supervised learning. We then develop and implement a safe classification method based on the semi supervised extreme learning machine SS ELM . Following this approach, the Wasserstein distance is used to measure the similarities between the predictions obtained from ELM and SS ELM algorithms, and a different risk degree is thereby calculated for each unlabeled data instance. A risk based regularization term is then constructed and embedded into the objective function of the SS ELM. Extensive experiments were conducted using benchmark and EEG datasets to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Experimental results show that the performance of the new algorithm is comparable to SS ELM and superior to ELM on average. It is thereby shown that the proposed method is safe and efficient for the classification of EEG signals. Shivshankar Kumar Yadav | Veena S.

Classification of physiological signals for wheel loader operators using Mult...Reno Filla
Sensor signal fusion is becoming increasingly important in many areas including medical diagnosis and classification. Today, clinicians/experts often do the diagnosis of stress, sleepiness and tiredness on the basis of information collected from several physiological sensor signals. Since there are large individual variations when analyzing the sensor measurements and systems with single sensor, they could easily be vulnerable to uncertain noises/interferences in such domain; multiple sensors could provide more robust and reliable decision. Therefore, this paper presents a classification approach i.e. Multivariate Multiscale Entropy Analysis–Case-Based Reasoning (MMSE–CBR) that classifies physiological parameters of wheel loader operators by combining CBR approach with a data level fusion method named Multivariate Multiscale Entropy (MMSE). The MMSE algorithm supports complexity analysis of multivariate biological recordings by aggregating several sensor measurements e.g., Inter-beat-Interval (IBI) and Heart Rate (HR) from Electrocardiogram (ECG), Finger Temperature (FT), Skin Conductance (SC) and Respiration Rate (RR). Here, MMSE has been applied to extract features to formulate a case by fusing a number of physiological signals and the CBR approach is applied to classify the cases by retrieving most similar cases from the case library. Finally, the proposed approach i.e. MMSE–CBR has been evaluated with the data from professional drivers at Volvo Construction Equipment, Sweden. The results demonstrate that the proposed system that fuses information at data level could classify ‘stressed’ and ‘healthy’ subjects 83.33% correctly compare to an expert’s classification. Furthermore, with another data set the achieved accuracy (83.3%) indicates that it could also classify two different conditions ‘adapt’ (training) and ‘sharp’ (real-life driving) for the wheel loader operators. Thus, the new approach of MMSE–CBR could support in classification of operators and may be of interest to researchers developing systems based on information collected from different sensor sources.
Energy aware model for sensor network a nature inspired algorithm approachijdms

we identified subset of sensors called representative sensors which represent the entire network state. And
finally we used nature inspired algorithms such as Ant Colony Optimization, Bees Colony Optimization,
and Simulated Annealing to find the optimal transmission path for data transmission. We have conducted
our experiment on publicly available Intel Berkeley Research Lab dataset and the experimental results
shows that consumption of energy can be reduced.

Adaptive Variable Step Size in LMS Algorithm Using Evolutionary Programming: ...CSCJournals
The Least Mean square (LMS) algorithm has been extensively used in many applications due to its simplicity and robustness. In practical application of the LMS algorithm, a key parameter is the step size. As the step size becomes large /small, the convergence rate of the LMS algorithm will be rapid and the steady-state mean square error (MSE) will increase/decrease. Thus, the step size provides a trade off between the convergence rate and the steady-state MSE of the LMS algorithm. An intuitive way to improve the performance of the LMS algorithm is to make the step size variable rather than fixed, that is, choose large step size values during the initial convergence of the LMS algorithm, and use small step size values when the system is close to its steady state, which results invariable step size Least Mean square (VSSLMS) algorithms. By utilizing such an approach, both a fast convergence rate and a small steady-state MSE can be obtained. Although many VSSLMS algorithmic methods perform well under certain conditions, noise can degrade their performance and having performance sensitivity over parameter setting. In this paper, a new concept is introduced to vary the step size based upon evolutionary programming (SSLMSEV) algorithm is described. It has shown that the performance generated by this method is robust and does not require any presetting of involved parameters in solution based upon statistical characteristics of signal
The paper presents a k-means based semi-supervised clustering approach for
recognizing and classifying P300 signals for BCI Speller System. P300 signals are proved to
be the most suitable Event Related Potential (ERP) signal, used to develop the BCI systems.
Due to non-stationary nature of ERP signals, the wavelet transform is the best analysis tool
for extracting informative features from P300 signals. The focus of the research is on semi-
supervised clustering as supervised clustering approach need large amount of labeled data
for training, which is a tedious task. Hence works for small-labeled datasets to train
classifiers. On the other hand, unsupervised clustering works when no prior information is
available i.e. totally unlabeled data. Thus leads to low level of performance. The in-between
solution is to use semi-supervised clustering, which uses a few labeled with large unlabeled
data causes less trouble and time. The authors have selected and defined adhoc features and
assumed the Clusters for small datasets. This motivates us to propose a novel approach that
discovers the features embedded in P300 (EEG) signals, using an k-means based semi-
supervised cluster classification using ensemble SVM
Fault diagnosis of a high voltage transmission line using waveform matching a...ijsc
This paper is based on the problem of accurate fault diagnosis by incorporating a waveform matching technique. Fault isolation and detection of a double circuit high voltage power transmission line is of immense importance from point of view of Energy Management services. Power System Fault types namely single line to ground faults, line to line faults, double line to ground faults etc. are responsible for transients in current and voltage waveforms in Power Systems. Waveform matching deals with the approximate superimposition of such waveforms in discretized versions obtained from recording devices and Software respectively. The analogy derived from these waveforms is obtained as an error function of voltage and current, from the considered metering devices. This assists in modelling the fault identification as an optimization problem of minimizing the error between these sets of waveforms. In other words, it utilizes the benefit of software discrepancies between these two waveforms. Analysis has been done using the Bare Bones Particle Swarm Optimizer on an IEEE 2 bus, 6 bus and 14 bus system. The performance of the algorithm has been compared with an analogous meta-heuristic algorithm called BAT optimization on a 2 bus level. The primary focus of this paper is to demonstrate the efficiency of such methods and state the common peculiarities in measurements, and the possible remedies for such distortions.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

ML in Biosensors
Researchers are looking for breakthroughs in other aspects to improve the
performance of Biosensors. Herein, the analysis of sensing data based on machine
learning (ML) is in focus.
ML can effectively process big sensing data for complex matrices or samples. The
other benefit of ML in Biosensors includes the possibility of obtaining reasonable
analytical results from noisy and low-resolution sensing data that may be heavily
overlapped with each other.
Proper deployment of ML methods can discover hidden relations between sample
parameters and sensing signals through data visualization, and mine interrelations
between signals and bioevents.
Biosensors are inevitably affected by sample matrix and operating conditions. When
Biosensors are used on-site, they can significantly interfere with contamination. ML
can check the signal and answer the question “does the signal look right?” It can
also “correct” sensor performance variations due to biofouling and interferences in
real samples.

ML in Biosensors
Noise is always included in the sensing signals. The signal from Biosensors
changes over seconds or minutes, while signal interference such as electrical noise
can occur on the sub second timeline. Therefore, it is possible to train ML models to
distinguish the signal from the noise.
By discovering latent objects and patterns using ML algorithms, sensing data can be
interpreted easily and effectively.
ML can assist biosensor readout directly, automatically, accurately, and rapidly,
which is very important for on-site detection or diagnosis. A CNN algorithm-assisted
optical imaging method was developed to predict the diagnostic results.
ML has been used to design more desirable Biosensors. Metamaterials with
negative permeability and permittivity have been employed to amplify the detection
signal of surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based Biosensors.

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) are popular among EC Biosensors.
The equivalent circuit models are always applied to extract key parameters of EIS
data. EIS is performed by applying a sinusoidal electric potential to a test sample
and recording the impedance over a range of frequencies.
Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) can acquire intrinsic fingerprint
information on an analyte in a complex matrix. However, many analytes and the
substance in the matrix have similar or overlapping spectra. It is tedious or
impossible to manually distinguish them.
Fluorescence imaging-based dPCR is a promising technology for gene diagnostics.
However, it is needed to tune the parameters of the threshold segmentation in each
analysis. It is also limited to analysis of images with uneven brightness induced by
poor camera imaging or nonuniform illumination.
Detection Techniques

Detection Techniques
Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) - Voltammetry sensors apply electric potential to a
“working” electrode and measure the current response, which is affected by analyte
oxidation or reduction. CV curves (cyclic voltammograms) can serve as a fingerprint
of the sensor response.
Enose and Etongue - Both sensor types rely on an array of semi-specific sensors,
each of which interacts to a different degree with a wide range of analytes. Several
challenges involve changes in the sensor data, which affect the performance of the
trained model. A common phenomenon is when the sensor array response changes
over time or upon prolonged expose under identical conditions.

Detection Techniques
Imaging sensors utilize an array of optical sensors such as a CMOS array. Images
of the specimen can be used to identify the target presence and concentration as
the molecules exhibit different coloration, fluorescence, or light scattering, with
varying morphology and spatial distribution.
Spectroscopy using X-rays: CNN algorithms are used for image analysis in such
cases. Since CNN requires extensive computation, it is currently difficult to analyze
the data in real time
As a general observation, principal component analysis (PCA) combined with
support vector machine (SVM) and various artificial neural network (ANN)
algorithms have shown outstanding performance in a variety of tasks.

EIS Data
Electrochemical impedance spectra can be collected periodically at various cycle
numbers and various state of charges, producing vast amounts of data. Fitting each
spectrum to an equivalent circuit can lead to physical insights about the evolution of
the bacterial concentration.
This type of spectroscopy is radiation free and non-invasive, meaning that it does
not interfere with the results of the sample during the detection process. Multiple dry
electrodes can also be placed to check the accuracy of the results. The cost of
setup is also lower than most methods.
Unlike the imaging data, it is comparatively computationally inexpensive and hence
can be analysed in real time. Both machine learning and deep learning techniques
can be used depending on the size of the dataset.

EIS Data
The sensitive operating conditions for EIS experiments can also be easily (as
compared to other approaches) tuned by appropriate signal processing methods
and machine learning models designed to check the signal parameters and errors in
conditions.
Consider dPCR for example. A high-quality mask using R-CNN needs to be made to adjust for
uneven illumination. In most spectroscopy methods, min-max scaling and normalization seems
to play a heavy role in determining the accuracy of the model. EIS data is relatively less
influenced by scaling and normalization.
The impedance can be measured in the presence or absence of a redox couple,
which is referred to faradic and non-faradic impedance measurement, respectively.

Comparison For ML Algorithms
Study 1
Raw EIS data and their equivalent circuit models are collected from the literature, and the
support vector machine (SVM) is used to analyze these data. Comparing with other
machine learning algorithms, SVM achieves the best comprehensive performance in this
database. As a result, the optimized SVM model can efficiently figure out the most suitable
equivalent circuit model of the given EIS spectrum.
Study 2
XGBoost and a support vector regression (SVR) machine learning models were compared
to establish a quantitative relationship between multiple impedance parameters and the
bacterial concentration under the effect of inhibitors. The results showed that XGBoost
improved the quantitative analysis accuracy toward inhibitors (0.175–0.375 μL/mL), based
on the bacteria growth in the solution. The prediction error decreased as the incubation
time of the E. coli culture was extended.

Study 3
Different cell growth features were measured with the impedance instrument and analyzed
using an equivalent model for data fitting and support vector regression (SVR) for data
processing.
Study 4
We use of a simple, open-source support vector machine learning algorithm for analyzing
impedimetric data in lieu of using equivalent circuit analysis. In all conditions tested, the
open-source classifier performed as well, or better, than equivalent circuit analysis.
Study 5
EIS data were exported and transformed into samples with 152 features that represent both
real and imaginary impedance at frequencies from 100kHz to 1Hz. The number of features
was selected to satisfy expected confidence levels for principal components analysis. A total
of 54 EIS scans were randomly split into two groups, with 80% of the data used as the
training set and 20% used as the testing set.

Available Options
Option 1
Use SVM model and train it to find the equivalent circuit using online dataset.
Option 2
Use impedance.py python library for fitting the circuit directly to the lab data.
Option 3
Use XGBoost / SVM Model to directly train on the EIS Data (more feasible in case of
complex circuit geometries).
14. RISHABH GARG
BITS - PILANI | GOA
Option - 1
Use SVM model and train it to find the equivalent circuit using online dataset.
Current limitation: Not much labelled online data is available for training the
algorithm. Generally researchers have manually labelled the equivalent circuit for
training their algorithms.
Hence, this approach might require manual effort even before applying the
algorithms. Moreover, most libraries provided by the researchers give better
performance than such manual effort.
Therefore Option 2 seems better than Option 1.
15. RISHABH GARG
BITS - PILANI | GOA
Option - 2
Use impedance.py python library or GUI software such as Z-view for fitting
the circuit directly to the lab data.
Then we find the relevant concentration dependent parameters using the type of
equivalent circuit which determine the bacterial concentration.
Then we can plot the relevant concentration dependent parameter vs bacterial
concentration.
Z-View is NOT free of charge. Free version: results are poor, especially in what
concerns the fittings.
16. RISHABH GARG
BITS - PILANI | GOA
Option - 3
Use XGBoost / SVM Model to directly train on the EIS Data.
One can focus on the desired algorithmic metrics rather than the intrinsic knowledge
of Nyquist Plots and Randle circuits.
No need to find the concentration dependent parameter and equivalent circuits.
17. RISHABH GARG
BITS - PILANI | GOA
Best Fit
Option 3 seems the most intuitive and easy.
We can focus on directly improving the metrics of the required algorithms rather
than focussing on development of intermediate plots and processes.
Online data available for option 1 is very less and checking the results of individual
algorithms for circuit parameters seems a tedious task.
Using impedance.py or other GUI software is easier than Option 1 but is less
intuitive than Option 3.
Model metrics are yet to be compared between Option 2 and Option 3.

Alternative Approach - 1
ML models can be applied after extracting the circuit parameters. SVR model can be
used where the features are the circuit parameters and the target is the bacterial
concentration.
Might not be very useful, still can simplify the process of finding the relation between
concentration dependent parameter and bacterial concentration.
impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is a commonly used biosensor technique for detecting foodborne bacteria. In this paper, we
show a machine learning-based EIS biosensor method that can be used to detect the effect of a low-dose inhibitor (e.g.,
hydrogen peroxide) on Escherichia coli (E. coli). After obtaining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), the inhibitor
concentration and below was applied to E. coli solution. EIS data were obtained by binding the target bacteria to the
electrode surface through antibodies, and then, the impedance parameters were fitted by the Randles model. XGBoost and
a support vector regression (SVR) machine learning models were compared to establish a quantitative relationship
between multiple impedance parameters and the bacterial concentration under the effect of inhibitors. The results showed
that XGBoost improved the quantitative analysis accuracy toward inhibitors (0.175–0.375 μL/mL), based on the bacteria
growth in the solution. After different low concentrations of the inhibitor were added into a standard bacterial solution for
1 h, 2 h and 3 h, the maximum prediction error of the inhibitor concentration was 4.95%, 1.03% and 0.46%, respectively.
The prediction error decreased as the incubation time of the E. coli culture was extended. These results pave the way for
the automation of an accurate EIS biosensor for analyzing foodborne microorganisms under various low doses of
inhibitors or drugs.

Alternative Approach - 2
In order to entirely prevent the use of equivalent circuits for circuit parameters and
not directly apply ML models on impedance data for better results, we can make use
of PCA (Principal Component Analysis) for extracting the parameter responsible for
changes in concentration as written in the below mentioned extract:

Proposed Plan
Option 3
Demonstration of SVR model directly on impedance data
First, PCA is applied to extract the most important features responsible for variance
in concentration.
Then SVR is applied using the extracted features as input and bacterial
concentration as the output.
Will require data from the lab. No online data available in any similar experiment
which contains the target variable (concentration in this case).
