The emergence of deep learning has impacted numerous machine learning based applications and research. The reason for its success lies in two main advantages: 1) it provides the ability to learn very complex non-linear relationships between features and 2) it allows one to leverage information from unlabeled data that does not belong to the problem being handled. This paper presents a transfer learning procedure for cancer classification, which uses feature selection and normalization techniques in conjunction with stacked sparse auto-encoders on gene expression data. While classifying any two tumor types, data of other tumor types were used in unsupervised manner to improve the feature representation. The performance of our algorithm was tested on 36 two-class benchmark datasets from the GEMLeR repository. On performing statistical tests, it is clearly ascertained that our algorithm statistically outperforms several generally used cancer classification approaches. The deep learning based molecular disease classification can be used to guide decisions made on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, and therefore may have important applications in precision medicine.
Intelligent fault diagnosis of machines for early recognition of faults saves industry from heavy losses occurring due to machine breakdowns. This paper proposes a process with a generic data mining model that can be used for developing acoustic signal-based fault diagnosis systems for reciprocating air compressors. The process includes details of data acquisition, sensitive position analysis for deciding suitable sensor locations, signal pre-processing, feature extraction, feature selection, and a classification approach. This process was validated by developing a real time fault diagnosis system on a reciprocating type air compressor having 8 designated states, including one healthy state, and 7 faulty states. The system was able to accurately detect all the faults by analyzing acoustic recordings taken from just a single position. Additionally, thorough analysis has been presented where performance of the system is compared while varying feature selection techniques, the number of selected features, and multiclass decomposition algorithms meant for binary classifiers.Index Terms-Acoustic fault diagnosis, air compressor, fault diagnosis, feature extraction, feature selection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
