Classification and Prediction of Erythemato-Squamous Diseases Through Tensor-Based Learning

摘要

abstract_textpThe paper proposes a classification algorithm based on support tensor machines which finds the maximum margin between the tensor spaces. The proposed algorithm has been deployed to classify erythemato-squamous diseases (ESDs) with the help of its features. Features are derived from the skin lesion images of ESDs, and it has been represented as second-order tensors, i.e., X is an element of Rn can be transformed into X is an element of Rn1 circle times Rn2 where n1xn2 approximately equal to n. After deriving the features from the skin lesion images, dominant features are extracted using Tucker tensor decomposition method. Most of the existing machine learning algorithms depend on the vector-based learning models, and these algorithms suffer from the data overfitting problem. To resolve this problem, in this paper, tensor-based learning is implemented for classification. Proposed algorithm is evaluated with the real-time dataset (Xie et al. in: He, Liu, Krupinski, Xu (eds) Health information science, Springer, Berlin, 2012), and higher classification accuracy of 99.93-100% is achieved. The acquired results are compared with the existing machine learning algorithms, and it drives home the point that the proposed algorithm provides higher classification accuracy./p/abstract_text
