MULTI-LABEL ASRS DATASET CLASSIFICATION USING SEMI-SUPERVISED SUBSPACE CLUSTERING MOHAMMAD SALIM AHMED, LATIFUR KHAN, NIKUNJ OZA, AND MANDAVA RAJESWARI Abstract. There has been a lot of research targeting text classification. Many of them focus on a particular characteristic of text data - multi-labelity. This arises due to the fact that a document may be associated with multiple classes at the same time. The consequence of such a characteristic is the low performance of traditional binary or multi-class classification techniques on multi-label text data. In this paper, we propose a text classification technique that considers this characteristic and provides very good performance. Our multi-label text classification approach is an extension of our previously formulated [3] multi-class text classification approach called SISC (Semi-supervised Impurity based Subspace Clustering). We call this new classification model as SISC-ML(SISC Multi-Label). Empirical evaluation on real world multi-label NASA ASRS (Aviation Safety Reporting System) data set reveals that our approach outperforms state-of-theart text classification as well as subspace clustering algorithms.

Most complex aerospace systems have many text reports on safety, maintenance, and associated issues. The Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) spans several decades and contains over 700 000 reports. The Aviation Safety Action Plan (ASAP) contains over 12 000 reports from various airlines. Problem categorizations have been developed for both ASRS and ASAP to enable identification of system problems. However, repository volume and complexity make human analysis difficult. Multiple experts are needed, and they often disagree on classifications. Even the same person has classified the same document differently at different times due to evolving experiences. Consistent classification is necessary to support tracking trends in problem categories over time. A decision support system that performs consistent document classification quickly and over large repositories would be useful. We discuss the results of two algorithms we have developed to classify ASRS and ASAP documents. The first is Mariana---a support vector machine (SVM) with simulated annealing, which is used to optimize hyperparameters for the model. The second method is classification built on top of nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF), which attempts to find a model that represents document features that add up in various combinations to form documents. We tested both methods on ASRS and ASAP documents with the latter categorized two different ways. We illustrate the potential of NMF to provide document features that are interpretable and indicative of topics. We also briefly discuss the tool that we have incorporated Mariana into in order to allow human experts to provide feedback on the document categorizations.

A supervised learning task involves constructing a mapping from an input data space (normally described by several features) to an output space. A set of training examples---examples with known output values---is used by a learning algorithm to generate a model. This model is intended to approximate the mapping between the inputs and outputs. This model can be used to generate predicted outputs for inputs that have not been seen before. Within supervised learning, one type of task is a classification learning task, in which each output consists of one or more classes to which the corresponding input belongs. For example, we may have data consisting of observations of sunspots. In a classification learning task, our goal may be to learn to classify sunspots into one of several types. Each example may correspond to one candidate sunspot with various measurements or just an image. A learning algorithm would use the supplied examples to generate a model that approximates the mapping between each supplied set of measurements and the type of sunspot. This model can then be used to classify previously unseen sunspots based on the candidate's measurements. In this chapter, we explain several basic classification algorithms.

A hierarchically ordered distribution of 3D-points was created with matlab. It contains 120,000 datapoints in five hierarchical levels with one to four child nodes per parent. Data values for the three axes range betwwen 0 and 1. The structure can be seen in the attached figure. In each hierarchical level different distributions of datapoints are implemented. This allows to test classifiers under various conditions. The most common distribution in the dataset is a simple gaussian distributed point cloud. Other sampled distributions are a spherical distribution (sphere in 3D), or a circular (donut) distribution along different axes. XOR distributions are implemented in different patterns, e.g. four batches with crossed classes or eight batches with two or four classes. The most complex data distribution is the springroll, where the datapoints are intertwined into one another. To create indistinguishable cases, where the prediction of a classifier is supposed to perform bad, some datapoints are just randomly intermixed with another class.

The .csv-file contains four columns: label | x-coordinate | y-coordinate | z-coordinate

The label for each sample provides all hierarchical information needed. Each label is composed of five digits, one for each hierarchical level. As an example:

Sample '11421': Hierarchical level 1: class 1 Hierarchical level 2: class 1 Hierarchical level 3: class 4 Hierarchical level 4: class 2 Hierarchical level 5: class 1

With the advent and expansion of social networking, the amount of generated text data has seen a sharp increase. In order to handle such a huge volume of text data, new and improved text mining techniques are a necessity. One of the characteristics of text data that makes text mining difficult, is multi-labelity. In order to build a robust and effective text classification method which is an integral part of text mining research, we must consider this property more closely. This kind of property is not unique to text data as it can be found in non-text (e.g., numeric) data as well. However, in text data, it is most prevalent. This property also puts the text classification problem in the domain of multi-label classification (MLC), where each instance is associated with a subset of class-labels instead of a single class, as in conventional classification. In this paper, we explore how the generation of pseudo labels (i.e., combinations of existing class labels) can help us in performing better text classification and under what kind of circumstances. During the classification, the high and sparse dimensionality of text data has also been considered. Although, here we are proposing and evaluating a text classification technique, our main focus is on the handling of the multi-labelity of text data while utilizing the correlation among multiple labels existing in the data set. Our text classification technique is called pseudo-LSC (pseudo-Label Based Subspace Clustering). It is a subspace clustering algorithm that considers the high and sparse dimensionality as well as the correlation among different class labels during the classification process to provide better performance than existing approaches. Results on three real world multi-label data sets provide us insight into how the multi-labelity is handled in our classification process and shows the effectiveness of our approach.

(2001) presents relief classes, which are calculated based on the relief roughness. Roughness and elevation are classified based on a DEM according to static thresholds, with a given window size ( e.g. 20 in the dataset shown). This is an example of a static (in terms of thresholds) landform classification method. The landform classification following Iwahashi and Pike (2007) present relief classes which are classified using an unsupervised nested-means algorithms and a three part geometric signature. Slope gradient, surface texture and local convexity are calculated based on the SRTM30 DEM, within a given window size (e.g. 10 in the dataset shown) and classified according to the inherent data set properties. This is an example for a dynamic (in terms of thresholds) landform classification method. Information about the data in the section: Landform classification

MULTI-TEMPORAL REMOTE SENSING IMAGE CLASSIFICATION - A MULTI-VIEW APPROACH VARUN CHANDOLA AND RANGA RAJU VATSAVAI Abstract. Multispectral remote sensing images have been widely used for automated land use and land cover classification tasks. Often thematic classification is done using single date image, however in many instances a single date image is not informative enough to distinguish between different land cover types. In this paper we show how one can use multiple images, collected at different times of year (for example, during crop growing season), to learn a better classifier. We propose two approaches, an ensemble of classifiers approach and a co-training based approach, and show how both of these methods outperform a straightforward stacked vector approach often used in multi-temporal image classification. Additionally, the co-training based method addresses the challenge of limited labeled training data in supervised classification, as this classification scheme utilizes a large number of unlabeled samples (which comes for free) in conjunction with a small set of labeled training data.

Feature selection is an important technique for data mining before a machine learning algorithm is applied. Despite its importance, most studies of feature selection are restricted to batch learning. Unlike traditional batch learning methods, online learning represents a promising family of efficient and scalable machine learning algorithms for large-scale applications. Most existing studies of online learning require accessing all the attributes/features of training instances. Such a classical setting is not always appropriate for real-world applications when data instances are of high dimensionality or it is expensive to acquire the full set of attributes/features. To address this limitation, we investigate the problem of Online Feature Selection (OFS) in which an online learner is only allowed to maintain a classifier involved only a small and fixed number of features. The key challenge of Online Feature Selection is how to make accurate prediction using a small and fixed number of active features. This is in contrast to the classical setup of online learning where all the features can be used for prediction. We attempt to tackle this challenge by studying sparsity regularization and truncation techniques. Specifically, this article addresses two different tasks of online feature selection: (1) learning with full input where an learner is allowed to access all the features to decide the subset of active features, and (2) learning with partial input where only a limited number of features is allowed to be accessed for each instance by the learner. We present novel algorithms to solve each of the two problems and give their performance analysis. We evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithms for online feature selection on several public datasets, and demonstrate their applications to real-world problems including image classification in computer vision and microarray gene expression analysis in bioinformatics. The encouraging results of our experiments validate the efficacy and efficiency of the proposed techniques.Related Publication: Hoi, S. C., Wang, J., Zhao, P., & Jin, R. (2012).

The diamond is 58 times harder than any other mineral in the world, and its elegance as a jewel has long been appreciated. Forecasting diamond prices is challenging due to nonlinearity in important features such as carat, cut, clarity, table, and depth. Against this backdrop, the study conducted a comparative analysis of the performance of multiple supervised machine learning models (regressors and classifiers) in predicting diamond prices. Eight supervised machine learning algorithms were evaluated in this work including Multiple Linear Regression, Linear Discriminant Analysis, eXtreme Gradient Boosting, Random Forest, k-Nearest Neighbors, Support Vector Machines, Boosted Regression and Classification Trees, and Multi-Layer Perceptron. The analysis is based on data preprocessing, exploratory data analysis (EDA), training the aforementioned models, assessing their accuracy, and interpreting their results. Based on the performance metrics values and analysis, it was discovered that eXtreme Gradient Boosting was the most optimal algorithm in both classification and regression, with a R2 score of 97.45% and an Accuracy value of 74.28%.

Having updated knowledge of cropland extent is essential for crop monitoring and food security early warning. Previous research has proposed different methods and adopted various datasets for mapping cropland areas at regional to global scales. However, most approaches did not consider the characteristics of farming systems and applied the same classification method in different agroecological zones (AEZs). Furthermore, the acquisition of in situ samples for classification training remains challenging. To address these knowledge gaps and challenges, this study applied a zone-specific classification by comparing four classifiers (random forest, the support vector machine (SVM), the classification and regression tree (CART) and minimum distance) for cropland mapping over four different AEZs in the Zambezi River basin (ZRB). Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 data and derived indices were used and synthesized to generate thirty-five layers for classification on the Google Earth Engine platform. Training samples were derived from three existing landcover datasets to minimize the cost of sample acquisitions over the large area. The final cropland map was generated at a 10 m resolution.

The information here presented was imported from a published paper with the title ''Comparison of Different Cropland Classification Methods under Diversified Agroecological Conditions in the Zambezi River Basin'' which its reference is shown below. The dataset here presented was created based on the results of this study.

Factors affecting wildland-fire size distribution include weather, fuels, and fire suppression activities. We present a novel application of survival analysis to quantify the effects of these factors on a sample of sizes of lightning-caused fires from Alberta, Canada. Two events were observed for each fire: the size at initial assessment (by the first fire fighters to arrive at the scene) and the size at "being held" (a state when no further increase in size is expected). We developed a statistical classifier to try to predict cases where there will be a growth in fire size (i.e., the size at "being held" exceeds the size at initial assessment). Logistic regression was preferred over two alternative classifiers, with covariates consistent with similar past analyses. We conducted survival analysis on the group of fires exhibiting a size increase. A screening process selected three covariates: an index of fire weather at the day the fire started, the fuel type burning at initial assessment, and a factor for the type and capabilities of the method of initial attack. The Cox proportional hazards model performed better than three accelerated failure time alternatives. Both fire weather and fuel type were highly significant, with effects consistent with known fire behaviour. The effects of initial attack method were not statistically significant, but did suggest a reverse causality that could arise if fire management agencies were to dispatch resources based on a-priori assessment of fire growth potentials. We discuss how a more sophisticated analysis of larger data sets could produce unbiased estimates of fire suppression effect under such circumstances.
