Individualization of Data-Segment-Related Parameters for Improvement of EEG Signal Classification in Brain-Computer Interface

In electroencephalogram (EEG) modeling techniques, data segment selection is the first and still an important step. The influence of a set of data-segment-related parameters on feature extraction and classification in an EEG-based brain-computer interface (BCI) was studied. An auto search algorithm was developed to study four datasegment-related parameters in each trial of 12 subjects’ EEG. The length of data segment (LDS), the start position of data (SPD) segment, AR order, and number of trials (NT) were used to build the model. The study showed that, compared with the classification ratio (CR) without parameter selection, the CR was increased by 20% to 30% with proper selection of these data-segment-related parameters, and the optimum parameter values were subject-dependent. This suggests that the data-segment-related parameters should be individualized when building models for BCI.

Numerical differentiation of noisy data with local optimum by data segmentation

A new numerical differentiation method with local opti- mum by data segmentation is proposed. The segmentation of data is based on the second derivatives computed by a Fourier devel- opment method. A filtering process is used to achieve acceptable segmentation. Numerical results are presented by using the data segmentation method, compared with the regularization method. For further investigation, the proposed algorithm is applied to the resistance capacitance （RC） networks identification problem, and improvements of the result are obtained by using this algorithm.

Parallel-Dynamic Interpolation Algorithm of Sea Surface Height for Future 2D Altimetry Mapping of Sea Surface Height

The sea surface height data volume of the future wide-swath two-dimensional(2D)altimetric satellite is thousands of times greater than that of nadir altimetric satellites.The time complexity of the 2D altimetry mapping reaches O(n^(3)).It is challenging to map the global grid products of future 2D altimetric satellites.In this study,to improve the efficiency of global data mapping,a new algorithm called parallel-dynamic interpolation(PA-DI)was designed.Through the use of 2D data segmentation and fine-grained data mosaic methods,the parallel along-track DI processes were accelerated,and a fast and efficient spatial-temporal high-resolution and low-error enhanced mapping method was obtained.As determined from a comparison of the single-threaded DI with the PA-DI,the new algorithm optimized the time complexity from O(n^(3))to O(n^(3)/KL),which improved the mapping efficiency and achieved the expected results.According to the test results of the observing system simulation experiments,the PA-DI algorithm may provide an efficient and reliable method for future wide-swath 2D altimetric satellite mapping.

Cell Consistency Evaluation Method Based on Multiple Unsupervised Learning Algorithms

Unsupervised learning algorithms can effectively solve sample imbalance.To address battery consistency anomalies in new energy vehicles,we adopt a variety of unsupervised learning algorithms to evaluate and predict the battery consistency of three vehicles using charging fragment data from actual operating conditions.We extract battery-related features,such as the mean of maximum difference,standard deviation,and entropy of batteries and then apply principal component analysis to reduce the dimensionality and record the amount of preserved information.We then build models through a collection of unsupervised learning algorithms for the anomaly detection of cell consistency faults.We also determine whether unsupervised and supervised learning algorithms can address the battery consistency problem and document the parameter tuning process.In addition,we compare the prediction effectiveness of charging and discharging features modeled individually and in combination,determine the choice of charging and discharging features to be modeled in combination,and visualize the multidimensional data for fault detection.Experimental results show that the unsupervised learning algorithm is effective in visualizing and predicting vehicle core conformance faults,and can accurately predict faults in real time.The“distance+boxplot”algorithm shows the best performance with a prediction accuracy of 80%,a recall rate of 100%,and an F1 of 0.89.The proposed approach can be applied to monitor battery consistency faults in real time and reduce the possibility of disasters arising from consistency faults.

A Partition Checkpoint Strategy Based on Data Segment Priority

A partition checkpoint strategy based on data segment priority is presented to meet the timing constraints of the data and the transaction in embedded real-time main memory database systems（ERTMMDBS） as well as to reduce the number of the transactions missing their deadlines and the recovery time.The partition checkpoint strategy takes into account the characteristics of the data and the transactions associated with it;moreover,it partitions the database according to the data segment priority and sets the corresponding checkpoint frequency to each partition for independent checkpoint operation.The simulation results show that the partition checkpoint strategy decreases the ratio of trans-actions missing their deadlines.
