Prediction of geological characteristics from shield operational parameters by integrating grid search and K-fold cross validation into stacking classification algorithm

This study presents a framework for predicting geological characteristics based on integrating a stacking classification algorithm(SCA) with a grid search(GS) and K-fold cross validation(K-CV). The SCA includes two learner layers: a primary learner’s layer and meta-classifier layer. The accuracy of the SCA can be improved by using the GS and K-CV. The GS was developed to match the hyper-parameters and optimise complicated problems. The K-CV is commonly applied to changing the validation set in a training set. In general, a GS is usually combined with K-CV to produce a corresponding evaluation index and select the best hyper-parameters. The torque penetration index(TPI) and field penetration index(FPI) are proposed based on shield parameters to express the geological characteristics. The elbow method(EM) and silhouette coefficient(Si) are employed to determine the types of geological characteristics(K) in a Kmeans++ algorithm. A case study on mixed ground in Guangzhou is adopted to validate the applicability of the developed model. The results show that with the developed framework, the four selected parameters, i.e. thrust, advance rate, cutterhead rotation speed and cutterhead torque, can be used to effectively predict the corresponding geological characteristics.

A novel fast classification filtering algorithm for LiDAR point clouds based on small grid density clustering

Clustering filtering is usually a practical method for light detection and ranging(LiDAR)point clouds filtering according to their characteristic attributes.However,the amount of point cloud data is extremely large in practice,making it impossible to cluster point clouds data directly,and the filtering error is also too large.Moreover,many existing filtering algorithms have poor classification results in discontinuous terrain.This article proposes a new fast classification filtering algorithm based on density clustering,which can solve the problem of point clouds classification in discontinuous terrain.Based on the spatial density of LiDAR point clouds,also the features of the ground object point clouds and the terrain point clouds,the point clouds are clustered firstly by their elevations,and then the plane point clouds are selected.Thus the number of samples and feature dimensions of data are reduced.Using the DBSCAN clustering filtering method,the original point clouds are finally divided into noise point clouds,ground object point clouds,and terrain point clouds.The experiment uses 15 sets of data samples provided by the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing(ISPRS),and the results of the proposed algorithm are compared with the other eight classical filtering algorithms.Quantitative and qualitative analysis shows that the proposed algorithm has good applicability in urban areas and rural areas,and is significantly better than other classic filtering algorithms in discontinuous terrain,with a total error of about 10%.The results show that the proposed method is feasible and can be used in different terrains.

Basic Tenets of Classification Algorithms K-Nearest-Neighbor, Support Vector Machine, Random Forest and Neural Network: A Review

In this paper, sixty-eight research articles published between 2000 and 2017 as well as textbooks which employed four classification algorithms: K-Nearest-Neighbor (KNN), Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forest (RF) and Neural Network (NN) as the main statistical tools were reviewed. The aim was to examine and compare these nonparametric classification methods on the following attributes: robustness to training data, sensitivity to changes, data fitting, stability, ability to handle large data sizes, sensitivity to noise, time invested in parameter tuning, and accuracy. The performances, strengths and shortcomings of each of the algorithms were examined, and finally, a conclusion was arrived at on which one has higher performance. It was evident from the literature reviewed that RF is too sensitive to small changes in the training dataset and is occasionally unstable and tends to overfit in the model. KNN is easy to implement and understand but has a major drawback of becoming significantly slow as the size of the data in use grows, while the ideal value of K for the KNN classifier is difficult to set. SVM and RF are insensitive to noise or overtraining, which shows their ability in dealing with unbalanced data. Larger input datasets will lengthen classification times for NN and KNN more than for SVM and RF. Among these nonparametric classification methods, NN has the potential to become a more widely used classification algorithm, but because of their time-consuming parameter tuning procedure, high level of complexity in computational processing, the numerous types of NN architectures to choose from and the high number of algorithms used for training, most researchers recommend SVM and RF as easier and wieldy used methods which repeatedly achieve results with high accuracies and are often faster to implement.

A Comparative Study of Image Classification Algorithms for Landscape Assessment of the Niger Delta Region

A critical problem associated with the southern part of Nigeria is the rapid alteration of the landscape as a result of logging, agricultural practices, human migration and expansion, oil exploration, exploitation and production activities. These processes have had both positive and negative effects on the economic and socio-political development of the country in general. The negative impacts have led not only to the degradation of the ecosystem but also posing hazards to human health and polluting surface and ground water resources. This has created the need for the development of a rapid, cost effective and efficient land use/land cover (LULC) classification technique to monitor the biophysical dynamics in the region. Due to the complex land cover patterns existing in the study area and the occasionally indistinguishable relationship between land cover and spectral signals, this paper introduces a combined use of unsupervised and supervised image classification for detecting land use/land cover (LULC) classes. With the continuous conflict over the impact of oil activities in the area, this work provides a procedure for detecting LULC change, which is an important factor to consider in the design of an environmental decision-making framework. Results from the use of this technique on Landsat TM and ETM+ of 1987 and 2002 are discussed. The results reveal the pros and cons of the two methods and the effects of their overall accuracy on post-classification change detection.

AUTOMATIC FAST CLASSIFICATION OF PRODUCT-IMAGES WITH CLASS-SPECIFIC DESCRIPTOR

To achieve online automatic classification of product is a great need of e-commerce de-velopment. By analyzing the characteristics of product images, we proposed a fast supervised image classifier which is based on class-specific Pyramid Histogram Of Words (PHOW) descriptor and Im-age-to-Class distance (PHOW/I2C). In the training phase, the local features are densely sampled and represented as soft-voting PHOW descriptors, and then the class-specific descriptors are built with the means and variances of distribution of each visual word in each labelled class. For online testing, the normalized chi-square distance is calculated between the descriptor of query image and each class-specific descriptor. The class label corresponding to the least I2C distance is taken as the final winner. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and quickness of our method in the tasks of product clas-sification.

Aspect Based User Reviews Classification

At present online shopping is very popular as it is very convenient for the customers.However,selecting smartphones from online shops is bit difficult only from the pictures and a short description about the item,and hence,the customers refer user reviews and star rating.Since user reviews are represented in human languages,sometimes the real semantic of the reviews and satisfaction of the customers are different than what the star rating shows.Also,reading all the reviews are not possible as typically,a smartphone gets thousands of reviews in popular online shopping platform like Amazon.Hence,this work aims to develop a recommended system for smartphones based on aspects of the phones such as screen size,resolution,camera quality,battery life etc.reviewed by users.To that end we apply hybrid approach,which includes three lexicon-based methods and three machine learning modals to analyze specific aspects of user reviews and classify the reviews into six categories--best,better,good or somewhat for positive comments and for negative comments bad or not recommended--.The lexicon-based tool called AFINN together with Random Forest prediction model provides the best classification F1-score 0.95.This system can be customized according to the required aspects of smartphones and the classification of reviews can be done accordingly.

In-Vehicle Network Injection Attacks Detection Based on Feature Selection and Classification

Detecting abnormal data generated from cyberattacks has emerged as a crucial approach for identifying security threats within in-vehicle networks.The transmission of information through in-vehicle networks needs to follow specific data for-mats and communication protocols regulations.Typically,statistical algorithms are employed to learn these variation rules and facilitate the identification of abnormal data.However,the effectiveness of anomaly detection outcomes often falls short when confronted with highly deceptive in-vehicle network attacks.In this study,seven representative classification algorithms are selected to detect common in-vehicle network attacks,and a comparative analysis is employed to identify the most suitable and favorable detection method.In consideration of the communication protocol characteristics of in-vehicle networks,an optimal convolutional neural network(CNN)detection algorithm is proposed that uses data field characteristics and classifier selection,and its comprehensive performance is tested.In addition,the concept of Hamming distance between two adjacent packets within the in-vehicle network is introduced,enabling the proposal of an enhanced CNN algorithm that achieves robust detection of challenging-to-identify abnormal data.This paper also presents the proposed CNN classifica-tion algorithm that effectively addresses the issue of high false negative rate(FNR)in abnormal data detection based on the timestamp feature of data packets.The experimental results validate the efficacy of the proposed abnormal data detection algorithm,highlighting its strong detection performance and its potential to provide an effective solution for safeguarding the security of in-vehicle network information.

MULTI-CLASS TRAFFIC QOS ROUTING FOR LEO SATELLITE NETWORKS

Due to the diversified demands of quality of service（QoS） in volume multimedia application, QoS routings for multiservice are becoming a research hotspot in low earth orbit（LEO） satellite networks. A novel QoS satellite routing algorithm for multi-class traffic is proposed. The goal of the routing algorithm is to provide the distinct QoS for different traffic classes and improve the utilization of network resources. Traffic is classified into three classes and allocated priorities based on their QoS requirements, respectively. A priority queuing mechanism guarantees the algorithm to work better for high-priority classes. In order to control the congestion, a blocking probability analysis model is built up based on the Markov process theory. Finally, according to the classification link-cost metrics, routings for different classes are calculated with the distinct QoS requirments and the status of network resource. Simulations verify the performance of the routing algorithm at different time and in different regions, and results demonstrate that the algorithm has great advantages in terms of the average delay and the blocking probability. Meanwhile, the robustness issue is also discussed.

Spectral matching techniques (SMTs) and automated cropland classification algorithms (ACCAs) for mapping croplands of Australia using MODIS 250-m time-series (2000–2015) data

Mapping croplands,including fallow areas,are an important measure to determine the quantity of food that is produced,where they are produced,and when they are produced(e.g.seasonality).Furthermore,croplands are known as water guzzlers by consuming anywhere between 70%and 90%of all human water use globally.Given these facts and the increase in global population to nearly 10 billion by the year 2050,the need for routine,rapid,and automated cropland mapping year-after-year and/or season-after-season is of great importance.The overarching goal of this study was to generate standard and routine cropland products,year-after-year,over very large areas through the use of two novel methods:(a)quantitative spectral matching techniques(QSMTs)applied at continental level and(b)rule-based Automated Cropland Classification Algorithm(ACCA)with the ability to hind-cast,now-cast,and future-cast.Australia was chosen for the study given its extensive croplands,rich history of agriculture,and yet nonexistent routine yearly generated cropland products using multi-temporal remote sensing.This research produced three distinct cropland products using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer(MODIS)250-m normalized difference vegetation index 16-day composite time-series data for 16 years:2000 through 2015.The products consisted of:(1)cropland extent/areas versus cropland fallow areas,(2)irrigated versus rainfed croplands,and(3)cropping intensities:single,double,and continuous cropping.An accurate reference cropland product(RCP)for the year 2014(RCP2014)produced using QSMT was used as a knowledge base to train and develop the ACCA algorithm that was then applied to the MODIS time-series data for the years 2000–2015.A comparison between the ACCA-derived cropland products(ACPs)for the year 2014(ACP2014)versus RCP2014 provided an overall agreement of 89.4%(kappa=0.814)with six classes:(a)producer’s accuracies varying between 72%and 90%and(b)user’s accuracies varying between 79%and 90%.ACPs for the individual years 2000–2013 and 2015(ACP2000–ACP2013,ACP2015)showed very strong similarities with several other studies.The extent and vigor of the Australian croplands versus cropland fallows were accurately captured by the ACCA algorithm for the years 2000–2015,thus highlighting the value of the study in food security analysis.

Predicting the Type of Crime: Intelligence Gathering and Crime Analysis

Crimes are expected to rise with an increase in population and the rising gap between society’s income levels.Crimes contribute to a significant portion of the socioeconomic loss to any society,not only through its indirect damage to the social fabric and peace but also the more direct negative impacts on the economy,social parameters,and reputation of a nation.Policing and other preventive resources are limited and have to be utilized.The conventional methods are being superseded by more modern approaches of machine learning algorithms capable of making predictions where the relationships between the features and the outcomes are complex.Making it possible for such algorithms to provide indicators of specific areas that may become criminal hot-spots.These predictions can be used by policymakers and police personals alike to make effective and informed strategies that can curtail criminal activities and contribute to the nation’s development.This paper aims to predict factors that most affected crimes in Saudi Arabia by developing a machine learning model to predict an acceptable output value.Our results show that FAMD as features selection methods showed more accuracy on machine learning classifiers than the PCA method.The naïve Bayes classifier performs better than other classifiers on both features selections methods with an accuracy of 97.53%for FAMD,and PCA equals to 97.10%.
