Background/Objectives: Early and accurate discrimination of neurological conditions, dementia, stroke and healthy aging, remains a critical clinical challenge. Electroencephalography (EEG) is a non-invasive measure of brain dynamics and entropy-based features obtained from multichannel EEG have shown strong discriminative ability. However, existing deep learning approaches do not sufficiently address the combined challenges of small clinical cohorts and high-dimensional entropy feature spaces. In this study, a novel architecture is proposed for multi-class neurological EEG classification under extreme small-sample conditions. Methods: A novel dual-branch Channel-wise Transformer and Attention-Branch Network (EEG-ChTABNet) are pr to classify 19-channel EEG entropy features into three classes (dementia, stroke, healthy control; N = 45; 15 per class). The architecture suggests four new designs. First, the Channel Importance Attention (CIA) block, which adaptively learns to re-weight the importance of electrodes via squeeze-excitation. Second, the dual-branch encoder, which combines the global multi-head self-attention with the local depthwise-separable convolution. Third, the gated sigmoid fusion mechanism. Fourth, the bottleneck residual classification head, to solve overfitting. Eight entropy feature sets: Amplitude-Aware Permutation Entropy (AAPE), Attention Entropy (AttEn), Dispersion Entropy (DisEn), Distribution Entropy (DistrEn), Fluctuation-based Dispersion Entropy (FDispEn), Fuzzy Entropy (FuzEn), Linear Gaussian Estimation of the Conditional Entropy (LinEn), and Symbolic Dynamics (SyDy) were evaluated individually with stratified 5-fold cross-validation on within-fold SMOTE augmentation. Results: EEG-ChTABNet consistently outperformed the baseline Transformer on all 8 feature sets. DisEn and SyDy features yielded peak classification accuracy of 73.3% (AUC: 0.823 and 0.857, respectively) compared to the corresponding baseline of 57.8% and 55.6%. SyDy achieved the best overall AUC of 0.857 and the dementia detection sensitivity was up to 86.7% over multiple feature sets. Conclusions: EEG-ChTABNet shows the effectiveness of channel-adaptive, dual-branch Transformer Designs for EEG-based neurological classification from Small-Sample Entropy Feature Data, and Identifying SyDy and DisEn as the Most Discriminative Feature Representations for Three-Class Neurological EEG Classification.
Arabic text classification is a challenging task because of the complex morphology of the language, the existence of different writing forms and a multitude of dialects, which can result in sparser common text representations. While transformer models such as AraBERT have obtained superior results on many Arabic NLP tasks, their high computational requirements make them difficult to deploy in environments with limited hardware resources. In some cases this can also make the model less practical for researchers working with basic computer systems. This study focuses on a more practical issue: how much accuracy a simple classifier may lose when the amount of required computation is reduced. We use a combined TF-IDF representation based on bo

This study investigates the impact of the Landsat data processing level on the accuracy of land cover classification using a support vector machine (SVM) classifier. The classification accuracy values of Landsat 8 (LS8) and Landsat 9 (LS9) data at different processing levels vary notably. For LS9, Collection 2 Level 2 (C2L2) achieved the highest accuracy of (86.55%) with the polynomial kernel of the SVM classifier, surpassing the Fast Line-of-Sight Atmospheric Analysis of Spectral Hypercubes (FLAASH) at (85.31%) and Collection 2 Level 1 (C2L1) at (84.93%). The LS8 data exhibits similar behavior. Conv

Modeling data acquisition systems (DASs) can support the vehicle industry in the development and design of sophisticated driver assistance systems. Modeling DASs on the basis of multiple criteria is considered as a multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) problem. Although literature reviews have provided models for DASs, the issue of imprecise, unclear, and ambiguous information remains unresolved. Compared with existing MCDM methods, the robustness of the fuzzy decision by opinion score method II (FDOSM II) and fuzzy weighted with zero inconsistency II (FWZIC II) is demonstrated for modeling the DASs. However, these methods are implemented in an intuitionistic fuzzy set environment that restricts the ability of experts to provide mem

Show MoreStatistical learning theory serves as the foundational bedrock of Machine learning (ML), which in turn represents the backbone of artificial intelligence, ushering in innovative solutions for real-world challenges. Its origins can be linked to the point where statistics and the field of computing meet, evolving into a distinct scientific discipline. Machine learning can be distinguished by its fundamental branches, encompassing supervised learning, unsupervised learning, semi-supervised learning, and reinforcement learning. Within this tapestry, supervised learning takes center stage, divided in two fundamental forms: classification and regression. Regression is tailored for continuous outcomes, while classification specializes in c

Show MoreThe general health of palm trees, encompassing the roots, stems, and leaves, significantly impacts palm oil production, therefore, meticulous attention is needed to achieve optimal yield. One of the challenges encountered in sustaining productive crops is the prevalence of pests and diseases afflicting oil palm plants. These diseases can detrimentally influence growth and development, leading to decreased productivity. Oil palm productivity is closely related to the conditions of its leaves, which play a vital role in photosynthesis. This research employed a comprehensive dataset of 1,230 images, consisting of 410 showing leaves, another 410 depicting bagworm infestations, and an additional 410 displaying caterpillar infestations.

It’s made worse by the ease with which a wide range of resources can be found on the internet, as well as the ease with which they can be copied and pasted. It is academic theft since the perpetrator has ”taken” and presented the work of others as his or her own. Manual detection of plagiarism by a human being is difficult, imprecise, and time-consuming because it is difficult for anyone to compare their work to current data. Plagiarism is a big problem in higher education, and it can happen on any topic.
