Understanding human emotions is one of the necessary skills for the computer to interact intelligently with human users. The most expressive way humans display emotions is through facial expressions. In this paper, we report on several advances we have made in building a system for classification of facial expressions from continuous video input. We use Bayesian network classifiers for classify...

Many kinds of uncertain factors may exist in the process of fault diagnosis and affect diagnostic results. Bayesian network is one of the most effective theoretical models for uncertain knowledge expression and reasoning. The method of naive Bayesian classification is used in this paper in fault diagnosis of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) system. Based on the model of PEMFC, fault...

On the basis of examining the existing restricted Bayesian network classifiers, a new Bayes-theorem-based and more strictly restricted Bayesian-network-based classification model DLBAN is proposed, which can be viewed as a double-level Bayesian network augmented naive Bayes classification. The experimental results show that the DLBAN classifier is better than the TAN classifier in the most cases.

Nowadays supervised classification, based on the concept of pattern recognition, is an integral part of virtual screening. The central idea of supervised classification in chemoinformatics is to design a classifying algorithm that accurately assigns a new molecule to one of a set of predefined classes. Naturally, probabilistic classifiers can be far more useful than hard point classifiers in ma...

In this paper, naive Bayesian and C4.5 Decision Tree Classifiers(DTC) are successively applied in materials informatics to classify the engineering materials into different classes for the selection of materials that suit the input design specifications. Here, the classifiers are analyzed individually and their performance evaluation is analyzed with confusion matrix predictive parameters and s...

Abst rac t . A new classification algorithm called VFI (for Voting Feature Intervals) is proposed. A concept is represented by a set of feature intervals on each feature dimension separately. Each feature participates in the classification by distributing real-valued votes among classes. The class receiving the highest vote is declared to be the predicted class. VFI is compared with the Naive B...

In experimental sciences many classification problems deal with variables with replicated measurements. In this case the replicates are usually summarized by their mean or median. However, such choice does not consider the information about the uncertainty associated with the measurements, thus potentially leading to over or underestimate the probability associated to each classification. In th...

In data mining applications, there are various kinds of missing values in experimental datasets. Non-substitution or inappropriate treatment of missing values has a high probability to cause a lot of warnings or errors. Besides, many classification algorithms are very sensitive to the missing values. Because of these, handling the missing values is an important phase in many classification or d...
