An Improvised Machine Learning Model Based on Mutual Information Feature Selection Approach for Microbes Classification

Abstract: The accurate classification of microbes is critical in today’s context for monitoring the ecological balance of a habitat. Hence, in this research work, a novel method to automate the process of identifying microorganisms has been implemented. To extract the bodies of microorganisms accurately, a generalized segmentation mechanism which consists of a combination of convolution filter (Kirsch) and a variance-based pixel clustering algorithm (Otsu) is proposed. With exhaustive corroboration, a set of twenty-five… Show more

“…Some flaws are identified. Dhindsa et al 11 applied a segmentation algorithm to generate high-quality inputs for machine learning models. Although an accuracy as high as 98% was achieved, the segmentation algorithm incorporated subjective rules, restricting the algorithm to classify more diverse algal species accurately.…”

“…Feature reduction: To reduce the computational complexity of the model for resource-constrained IoT devices and to maximize the performance of the classifier, a common feature selection approach, called Mutual Information (MI) has been utilized for feature selection on the basis of the information value. According to the authors [ 65 , 66 ], The MI between two random variables X and Y can be is defined as: where, is the mutual information value for variable X and Y , denotes the entropy for variable X and denotes the conditional entropy for X given Y . The output is denoted as the units of bits.…”

“…An additional advantage of the model was that it provided morphological information on the microalgal populations. Anaahat Dhindsa et al designed a new scheme to classify microalgae (Dhindsa et al, 2021). The microalgae images were segmented, and 25 features were extracted by a generalized segmentation algorithm, and then various machine learning algorithms were applied for classification.…”
