Method For Parallel Construction Of A Committee Of Decision Tree For Processing The Electroencephalography Signals

摘要

A method for parallel construction of a classifier ensemble for solving the problem of localization of neuron sources within the brain on the basis of the analysis of electroencephalography signals is described. The idea of the proposed parallel numerical method consists in the consideration of the source parameters as attributes of decision tress constructed in parallel. The method is based on formation of a training data set from an experimental signal and construction of a classifier on the basis of the value of error of the potential, that is, the difference between the measured and model values of the potential. The efficiency of parallelization of the localization problem, namely, the data distribution between processors, and the distributed training of the ensembles of decision trees are considered. Analysis of the scalability of the problem of construction of a classifier ensemble with a increase in the number of processors in the course of solution of the problem of localization of a neuron source on multiprocessor computational complexes is presented. The parallel source localization algorithm is developed for architectures with either common or distributed memory. The algorithm is realized using the MPI technology; a hybrid model of parallel calculations using MPI and OpenMPI is also discussed.
