  • Boosting Feature Selection Using Modified Grasshopper Algorithm: Emphasizing Social Interaction
    Shweta Agarwal, Bobbinpreet Kaur, Bhoopesh Singh Bhati
    Proceedings of the 2024 International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technology Global AI Summit 2024, 2024
    Feature Selection is a way of improving machine learning models in terms of efficacy and accuracy. The process involves identifying the most relevant features within a dataset to improve the efficiency of the model. Traditionally, the approaches have had issues in selecting the most relevant features to the case in most instances with accuracy. This paper, therefore, looks to develop and evaluate a novel approach for feature selection based on the Grasshopper Algorithm (GH). The idea is to address some specific problems of feature selection tasks and assess its performance against traditional swarm intelligence techniques. In this regard, the modified GH has been comprehensively assessed against the traditional or common techniques like ABC, GA and PSO. The results which are obtained reveal that modified GH algorithm outperformed PSO, GA and ABC in all the feature selection tasks. It improved the accuracy to 92.01%, which is 10.84% higher than PSO, 25.12% higher than GA, and 12.92% higher than ABC. That means the GH algorithm performs very well in feature selection. Consequently, swarms of algorithms are rather competitive for the optimization performance of various machine learning applications. To this end, this paper reveals the pertinent knowledge of swarm intelligence in feature selection to researchers and readers.
  • Electromyography-based Hand Gesture Classification Using IGOA and DNN
    Shweta Agarwal, Bobbinpreet Kaur, Bhoopesh Singh Bhati
    2024 15th International Conference on Computing Communication and Networking Technologies Icccnt 2024, 2024
    The most significant improvement in human-computer interfaces revolves around the accurate decoding of hand gestures from electromyography signals. The existing methods of doing this have a number of limitations. These include: feature redundancy and diminishing estimation accuracy for new users when pre-trained models are applied. Therefore, the current study focuses on enhancing the EMGbased recognition of hand gestures by developing a swarm intelligence based model to select features. In this model, a feature extractor, feature selector, and label classifier interface are integrated. The proposed model uses time domain (TD), frequency domain (FD), and time-frequency domain (TFD) analyses to establish the basic information of gesture recognition. Improved Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (IGOA) chooses the most discriminative features from the EMG data. It is noteworthy that a DNN classifier improves the classification result of the EMG-based gesture classification using the created feature set. It evaluates the proposed model from an 8-channel Myo Armband dataset. The proposed approach, on average improves by $2.4 \\%, \\mathbf{9. 6 \\%, 6. 1 \\%,}$ and 8% in precision, recall, F-measure, and accuracy respectively compared with a common KNN, NB, and RF estimators. Moreover, the average enhancements in recall by 7.3%, in precision by 4.9%, in accuracy by 4.1%, and in F-measure by 6.2% over popular optimization techniques like PSO, GA, and GH demonstrate the strength of the DNN and label the IGOA + DNN combination as a very effective strategy for EMG-based gesture classification.

Drawing on recent research and case studies, we highlight the need to balance targeted advertising with user privacy. In summary, we call for innovation and ethical considerations as we navigate the ever-changing advertising landscape.
  • EMG Feature Selection Approach to Improve Classification Accuracy - A Review
    Shweta Agarwal, Raman Chadha, Bhoopesh Singh Bhati
    Icsccc 2023 3rd International Conference on Secure Cyber Computing and Communications, 2023
    Nowadays, many computing systems are a part of daily life; therefore, it is more comfortable to communicate with them naturally. The field of human-computer interaction (HCI) was created in order to break down the obstacles to human-computer communication. One of the types of HCI that is, Hand Gesture Recognition (HGR), which predicts the type of a certain hand action. The electrical activity of skeletal muscles is one potential input for these types of models. The purpose of movement produced by the human brain is communicated through electromyography (EMG) signals. In order to identify EMG data that is precise for any class, the most pertinent collection of EMG attribute values must be used to train a system. With the aid of a combination of machine learning and EMG data, this paper aims to present the most recent real-time feature selection techniques and classification algorithms in a comprehensive review of the literature. Finally, several gaps have been found that may point the way for fresh lines of inquiry in the field of EMG-based gesture detection, and a proposed approach for improving the overall classification accuracy of the EMG signal is presented.

    Computational Intelligence in Healthcare Applications Challenges and Management, 2023
    With the evolution of lots of data in healthcare, the complexity of managing and handling the data also increases. To manage this complex issue, computational techniques (CI) nowadays can be applied in the healthcare field. The applications for health information help us to support patient care systems and reduce human error. Many CI techniques are already in use by life science companies, and care providers and users are paying for them to get the facilitation. The key applications of these technologies include the treatment and diagnosis of patients, adherence and engagement of patients, and many management activities. Many healthcare tasks are performed with greater care and accuracy using CI techniques; however, the healthcare industry requires 100% accuracy for medical diagnosis and further treatment which is still a challenging problem. In this chapter, from a management perspective, various CI healthcare applications, along with their challenges, have been discussed in brief. It has been observed that there are many instances that prove that the use of CI improves accuracy in healthcare tasks compared to humans. However, various implementation issues of CI in healthcare will prevent its large-scale automation. Ethical issues are also explored in this chapter.
