Detection algorithm of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation with sparse coding based on Riemannian manifold / 生物医学工程学杂志

In order to solve the problem that the early onset of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation is very short and difficult to detect, a detection algorithm based on sparse coding of Riemannian manifolds is proposed. The proposed method takes into account that the nonlinear manifold geometry is closer to the real feature space structure, and the computational covariance matrix is used to characterize the heart rate variability (RR interval variation), so that the data is in the Riemannian manifold space. Sparse coding is applied to the manifold, and each covariance matrix is represented as a sparse linear combination of Riemann dictionary atoms. The sparse reconstruction loss is defined by the affine invariant Riemannian metric, and the Riemann dictionary is learned by iterative method. Compared with the existing methods, this method used shorter heart rate variability signal, the calculation was simple and had no dependence on the parameters, and the better prediction accuracy was obtained. The final classification on MIT-BIH AF database resulted in a sensitivity of 99.34%, a specificity of 95.41% and an accuracy of 97.45%. At the same time, a specificity of 95.18% was realized in MIT-BIH NSR database. The high precision paroxysmal atrial fibrillation detection algorithm proposed in this paper has a potential application prospect in the long-term monitoring of wearable devices.

Prediction of protein subcellular localization based on multilayer sparse coding / 生物工程学报

In order to provide a theoretical basis for better understanding the function and properties of proteins, we proposed a simple and effective feature extraction method for protein sequences to determine the subcellular localization of proteins. First, we introduced sparse coding combined with the information of amino acid composition to extract the feature values of protein sequences. Then the multilayer pooling integration was performed according to different sizes of dictionaries. Finally, the extracted feature values were sent into the support vector machine to test the effectiveness of our model. The success rates in data set ZD98, CH317 and Gram1253 were 95.9%, 93.4% and 94.7%, respectively as verified by the Jackknife test. Experiments showed that our method based on multilayer sparse coding can remarkably improve the accuracy of the prediction of protein subcellular localization.
