Disclosed is a two-stage frequency selection method and device for microwave frequency sweep data. The method includes: acquiring microwave frequency sweep data; performing frequency selection on the microwave frequency sweep data by using a random forest-recursive feature elimination algorithm, taking a preset parameter in the random forest-recursive feature elimination algorithm as a hyper-parameter, changing the value of the hyper-parameter, and generating a series of candidate frequency subsets within different frequencies; building prediction models on the basis of the frequency sweep data corresponding to the candidate frequency subsets of different frequencies; evaluating the performance of each prediction model by means of 10 fold cross validation, and calculating evaluation index values of model performance; and taking the evaluation indexes as a voting basis, and selecting an optimal frequency subset by using a majority voting method.

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus including one or more processors configured to receive a digitized image of a region of tissue demonstrating a disease, and containing cellular structures represented in the digitized image, each of the cellular structures being associated with a cell category of a plurality of cell categories; select a cellular structure of the cellular structures based on the cell category for the cellular structure; for the cellular structure selected, compute a set of contextual features; assign, based on the set of contextual features, the cellular structure to at least one cluster of a plurality of clusters; compute cluster features, the cluster features describing characteristics of the at least one cluster of the plurality of clusters; and generate a prediction that describes a pathologic or phenotypic state of the disease based, at least in part, on the cluster features and/or the set of contextual features.

Computer-implemented systems and methods for generating and using a location sensitive ensemble classifier for classifying content includes dividing a validation data set into regions. Each region encompasses data points of the validation data set that fall within the region. A regional ensemble classifier is generated for each region based on the data points that fall within the region. A content item is then classified in at least one of a plurality of classes using the regional ensemble classifier for the region to which the content item belongs.

A computer implemented method of generating a gradient boosting decision tree for obtaining predictions includes finding split points by sorting variable values of a feature by their gradient during training of the gradient boosting decision tree, performing a linear search to find a subset of variables with maximum split gain, and modifying a node of the gradient boosting decision tree to have multiple split points on the node for a feature as a function of the linear search. In a further example, a computer implemented method of controlling overfitting in a gradient boosting decision tree includes combining values of low population feature values into a virtual bin, fanning out the virtual bin into feature values having a low population, and including the low population feature values into multiple split points on a node of the gradient boosting decision tree.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a model generation program that causes at least one computer to execute a process that includes acquiring, on a first assumption that assumes each of individual data items included in a training data set is easy for a user to interpret, each of first values for each of the individual data items by optimizing an objective function that has a loss weight related to ease of interpretation of the data item by using the training data set; acquiring, on a second assumption that assumes each of the individual data items is not easy, each of second values; selecting a specific data item from the individual data items based on each of the first values and each of the second values for each of the individual data items; and generating a linear model using user evaluation for the specific data item.

Computational algorithms integrate and analyze data to consider multiple interdependent, heterogeneous sources and forms of patient data, and using a classification model, provide new learning paradigms, including privileged learning and learning with uncertain clinical data, to determine patient status for conditions such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or non-ARDS.

A system includes a memory module configured to store image data captured by a camera and an electronic controller communicatively coupled to the memory module. The electronic controller is configured to receive image data captured by the camera, implement a neural network trained to predict a drivable portion in the image data of an environment. The neural network predicts the drivable portion in the image data of the environment. The electronic controller is configured to implement a support vector machine. The support vector machine determines whether the predicted drivable portion of the environment output by the neural network is classified as drivable based on a hyperplane of the support vector machine and output an indication of the drivable portion of the environment.

In one embodiment, a method of machine learning and/or image processing for spectral object classification is described. In another embodiment, a device is described for using spectral object classification. Other embodiments are likewise described.

In one embodiment, a device receives optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) trace samples, each sample labeled with an associated fiber optic cable condition. The device alters the received OTDR trace samples to generate a set of synthetic OTDR trace samples. Each synthetic sample is labeled with the label of the received sample that was altered to generate the synthetic sample. The device trains a machine learning-based classifier using a training dataset that comprises the synthetic OTDR trace samples. The device uses the trained classifier to identify a condition along a particular fiber optic cable based on OTDR trace data obtained from that cable.
