Abstract
Narcissism is a multifaceted construct often linked to pathological conditions whose neural correlates are still poorly understood. Previous studies have reported inconsistent findings related to the neural underpinnings of narcissism, probably due to methodological limitations such as the low number of participants or the use of mass univariate methods. The present study aimed to overcome the previous methodological limitations and to build a predictive model of narcissistic traits based on neural and psychological features. In this respect, two machine learning-based methods (Kernel Ridge Regression and Support Vector Regression) were used to predict narcissistic traits from brain structural organization and from other relevant normal and abnormal personality features. Results showed that a circuit including the lateral and middle frontal gyri, the angular gyrus, Rolandic operculum, and Heschl's gyrus successfully predicted narcissistic personality traits (p < 0.003). Moreover, narcissistic traits were predicted by normal (openness, agreeableness, conscientiousness) and abnormal (borderline, antisocial, insecure, addicted, negativistic, machiavellianism) personality traits. This study is the first to predict narcissistic personality traits via a supervised machine learning approach. As such, these results may expand the possibility of deriving personality traits from neural and psychological features.

Abstract
Support vector machines (SVMs) utilize hyper-parameters for classification. Model selection (MS) is an essential step in the construction of the SVM classifier as it involves the identification of the appropriate parameters. Several selection criteria have been proposed for MS, but their usefulness is limited for physiological data exhibiting inter-subject variance (ISV) that makes different characteristics between training and test data. To identify an effective solution for the constraint, this study considered a leave-one-subject-out cross validation-based selection criterion (LSSC) with six well-known selection criteria and compared their effectiveness. Nine classification problems were examined for the comparison, and the MS results of each selection criterion were obtained and analyzed. The results showed that the SVM model selected by the LSSC yielded the highest average classification accuracy among all selection criteria in the nine problems. The average accuracy was 2.96% higher than that obtained with the conventional K-fold cross validation-based selection criterion. In addition, the advantage of the LSSC was more evident for data with larger ISV. Thus, the results of this study can help optimize SVM classifiers for physiological data and are expected to be useful for the analysis of physiological data to develop various medical decision systems.

Abstract
To better understand the structure of the COVID-19, and to improve the recognition speed, an effective recognition model based on compressed feature vector is proposed. Object recognition plays an important role in computer vison aera. To improve the recognition accuracy, most recent approaches always adopt a set of complicated hand-craft feature vectors and build the complex classifiers. Although such approaches achieve the favourable performance on recognition accuracy, they are inefficient. To raise the recognition speed without decreasing the accuracy loss, this paper proposed an efficient recognition modeltrained witha kind of compressed feature vectors. Firstly, we propose a kind of compressed feature vector based on the theory of compressive sensing. A sparse matrix is adopted to compress feature vector from very high dimensions to very low dimensions, which reduces the computation complexity and saves enough information for model training and predicting. Moreover, to improve the inference efficiency during the classification stage, an efficient recognition model is built by a novel optimization approach, which reduces the support vectors of kernel-support vector machine (kernel SVM). The SVM model is established with whether the subject is infected with the COVID-19 as the dependent variable, and the age, gender, nationality, and other factors as independent variables. The proposed approach iteratively builds a compact set of the support vectors from the original kernel SVM, and then the new generated model achieves approximate recognition accuracy with the original kernel SVM. Additionally, with the reduction of support vectors, the recognition time of new generated is greatly improved. Finally, the COVID-19 patients have specific epidemiological characteristics, and the SVM recognition model has strong fitting ability. From the extensive experimental results conducted on two datasets, the proposed object recognition model achieves favourable performance not only on recognition accuracy but also on recognition speed.

A Machine-Learning Approach to Measure the Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury Risk in Female Basketball Players. SENSORS 2021; 21:s21093141.

Abstract
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury represents one of the main disorders affecting players, especially in contact sports. Even though several approaches based on artificial intelligence have been developed to allow the quantification of ACL injury risk, their applicability in training sessions compared with the clinical scale is still an open question. We proposed a machine-learning approach to accomplish this purpose. Thirty-nine female basketball players were enrolled in the study. Leg stability, leg mobility and capability to absorb the load after jump were evaluated through inertial sensors and optoelectronic bars. The risk level of athletes was computed by the Landing Error Score System (LESS). A comparative analysis among nine classifiers was performed by assessing the accuracy, F1-score and goodness. Five out nine examined classifiers reached optimum performance, with the linear support vector machine achieving an accuracy and F1-score of 96 and 95%, respectively. The feature importance was computed, allowing us to promote the ellipse area, parameters related to the load absorption and the leg mobility as the most useful features for the prediction of anterior cruciate ligament injury risk. In addition, the ellipse area showed a strong correlation with the LESS score. The results open the possibility to use such a methodology for predicting ACL injury.

Abstract
Feature selection techniques are very useful approaches for dimensionality reduction in data analysis. They provide interpretable results by reducing the dimensions of the data to a subset of the original set of features. When the data lack annotations, unsupervised feature selectors are required for their analysis. Several algorithms for this aim exist in the literature, but despite their large applicability, they can be very inaccessible or cumbersome to use, mainly due to the need for tuning non-intuitive parameters and the high computational demands. In this work, a publicly available ready-to-use unsupervised feature selector is proposed, with comparable results to the state-of-the-art at a much lower computational cost. The suggested approach belongs to the methods known as spectral feature selectors. These methods generally consist of two stages: manifold learning and subset selection. In the first stage, the underlying structures in the high-dimensional data are extracted, while in the second stage a subset of the features is selected to replicate these structures. This paper suggests two contributions to this field, related to each of the stages involved. In the manifold learning stage, the effect of non-linearities in the data is explored, making use of a radial basis function (RBF) kernel, for which an alternative solution for the estimation of the kernel parameter is presented for cases with high-dimensional data. Additionally, the use of a backwards greedy approach based on the least-squares utility metric for the subset selection stage is proposed. The combination of these new ingredients results in the utility metric for unsupervised feature selection U2FS algorithm. The proposed U2FS algorithm succeeds in selecting the correct features in a simulation environment. In addition, the performance of the method on benchmark datasets is comparable to the state-of-the-art, while requiring less computational time. Moreover, unlike the state-of-the-art, U2FS does not require any tuning of parameters.

Abstract
Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a condition that emerges from prolonged diabetes, causing severe damages to the eyes. Early diagnosis of this disease is highly imperative as late diagnosis may be fatal. Existing studies employed machine learning approaches with Support Vector Machines (SVM) having the highest performance on most analyses and Decision Trees (DT) having the lowest. However, SVM has been known to suffer from parameter and kernel selection problems, which undermine its predictive capability. Hence, this study presents homogenous ensemble classification methods with DT as the base classifier to optimize predictive performance. Boosting and Bagging ensemble methods with feature selection were employed, and experiments were carried out using Python Scikit Learn libraries on DR datasets extracted from UCI Machine Learning repository. Experimental results showed that Bagged and Boosted DT were better than SVM. Specifically, Bagged DT performed best with accuracy 65.38 %, f-score 0.664, and AUC 0.731, followed by Boosted DT with accuracy 65.42 %, f-score 0.655, and AUC 0.724 when compared to SVM (accuracy 65.16 %, f-score 0.652, and AUC 0.721). These results indicate that DT's predictive performance can be optimized by employing the homogeneous ensemble methods to outperform SVM in predicting DR.

Abstract
In the last decade, exponential growth of Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing takes the healthcare services to the next level. At the same time, lung cancer is identified as a dangerous disease which increases the global mortality rate annually. Presently, support vector machine (SVM) is the effective image classification tool especially in medical imaging. Feature selection and parameter optimization are the effective ways to improve the results of SVM and are conventionally resolved individually. This paper presents an optimal SVM for lung image classification where the parameters of SVM are optimized and feature selection takes place by modified grey wolf optimization algorithm combined with genetic algorithm (GWO-GA). The experimentation part takes place on three dimensions: test for parameter optimization, feature selection, and optimal SVM. For assessing the performance of the presented approach, a benchmark image database is employed which comprises of 50 low-dosage and stored lung CT images. The presented method exhibits its superior results on all the applied test images under several aspects. In addition, it achieves average classification accuracy of 93.54 which is significantly higher than the compared methods.

Abstract
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, one of the major diseases infecting oilseed rape leaves, has seriously affected crop yield and quality. In this study, an indoor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) low-altitude remote sensing simulation platform was built for disease detection. Thermal, multispectral and RGB images were acquired before and after being artificially inoculated with Sclerotinia sclerotiorum on oilseed rape leaves. New image registration and fusion methods based on scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) were presented to construct a fused database using multi-model images. The changes of temperature distribution in different sections of infected areas were analyzed by processing thermal images, the maximum temperature difference (MTD) on a single leaf reached 1.7 degrees Celsius 24 h after infection. Four machine learning models were established using thermal images and fused images respectively, including support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), K-nearest neighbor (KNN) and naïve Bayes (NB). The results demonstrated that the classification accuracy was improved by 11.3% after image fusion, and the SVM model obtained a classification accuracy of 90.0% on the task of classifying disease severity. The overall results indicated the UAV low-altitude remote sensing simulation platform equipped with multi-sensors could be used to early detect Sclerotinia sclerotiorum on oilseed rape leaves.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE In healthcare systems, the cost of unplanned readmission accounts for a large proportion of total hospital payment. Hospital-specific readmission rate becomes a critical issue around the world. Quantification and early identification of unplanned readmission risks will improve the quality of care during hospitalization and reduce the occurrence of readmission. In clinical practice, medical workers generally use LACE score method to evaluate patient readmission risks, but this method usually performs poorly. With this in mind, this study presents a novel method combining support vector machine and genetic algorithm to build the risk prediction model, which simultaneously involves feature selection and the processing of imbalanced data. This model aims to provide decision support for clinicians during the discharge management of patients with diabetes. METHOD The experiments were conducted from a set of 8756 medical records with 50 different features about diabetic readmission. After preprocessing the data, an effective SMOTE-based method was proposed to solve the imbalance data problem. Further, in order to improve prediction performance, a hybrid feature selection mechanism was devised to select the important features. Subsequently, an improved support vector machine-based (SVM-based) method was developed and the genetic algorithm was used to tune the sensitive parameter of the algorithm. Finally, the five-fold cross-validation method was applied to compare the performance of proposed method with other methods (LACE score, logistic regression, naïve bayes, decision tree and feed forward neural networks). RESULTS Experimental results indicate that the proposed SVM-based method achieves an accuracy of 81.02%, a sensitivity of 82.89%, a specificity of 79.23%, and outperforms other popular algorithms in identifying diabetic patients who may be readmitted. CONCLUSIONS Our research can improve the performance of clinic decision support systems for diabetic readmission, by which the readmission possibility as well as the waste of medical resources can be reduced.

Abstract
The Support Vector Machine (SVM) is a supervised learning algorithm to analyze data and recognize patterns. The standard SVM suffers from some limitations in nonlinear classification problems. To tackle these limitations, the nonlinear form of the SVM poses a modified machine based on the kernel functions or other nonlinear feature mappings obviating the mentioned imperfection. However, choosing an efficient kernel or feature mapping function is strongly dependent on data structure. Thus, a flexible feature mapping can be confidently applied in different types of data structures without challenging a kernel selection and its tuning. This paper introduces a new flexible feature mapping approach based on the Dirichlet distribution in order to develop an efficient SVM for nonlinear data structures. To determine the parameters of the Dirichlet mapping, a tuning technique is employed based on the maximum likelihood estimation and Newton's optimization method. The numerical results illustrate the superiority of the proposed machine in terms of the accuracy and relative error rate measures in comparison to the traditional ones.
