A Statistical Texture Model of the Liver Based on Generalized N-Dimensional Principal Component Analysis (GND-PCA) and 3D Shape Normalization by Xu Qiao, Yen-Wei Chen

“…The preliminary results of leave-one-out experiments show that the statistical texture model of the liver built by our method can represent an untrained liver volume well, even though the mode is trained by fewer samples. We also demonstrate its potential application to classification of normal and abnormal (with tumors) livers.…”

Optical fiber eavesdropping detection method based on machine learning by Xiaolian CHEN, Yi QIN, Jie ZHANG, Yajie LI, Haokun SONG, Huibin ZHANG

“…Optical fiber eavesdropping is one of the major hidden dangers of power grid information security,but detection is difficult due to its high concealment.Aiming at the eavesdropping problems faced by communication networks,an optical fiber eavesdropping detection method based on machine learning was proposed.Firstly,seven-dimensions feature vector extraction method was designed based on the influence of eavesdropping on the physical layer of transmission.Then eavesdropping was simulated and experimental feature vectors were collected.Finally,two machine learning algorithms were used for classification detection and model optimization.Experiments show that the performance of the neural network classification is better than the K-nearest neighbor classification,and it can achieve 98.1% eavesdropping recognition rate in 10% splitting ratio eavesdropping.…”
