Modified local discriminant bases and its applications in signal classification [biomedical signal examples]
Bibliographic record
Abstract
One of the major challenges in classification problems, based on the signal decomposition approach, is to identify the right basis function and its derivatives that can provide optimal features to distinguish the classes. With the vast amount of available libraries of orthonormal bases, it is hard to select an optimal set of basis functions for a specific dataset. To address this problem, pruning algorithms based on certain selection criteria, are needed. The local discriminant bases (LDB) algorithm is one such algorithm, which efficiently selects a set of significant basis functions from the library of orthonormal bases based on a certain defined dissimilarity measure. The selection of this dissimilarity measure is critical as they indirectly contribute to the performance accuracy of the LDB algorithm. In this paper, we study the impact of the dissimilarity measures on the performance of the LDB algorithm with two classification examples. Two biomedical signal databases used are: 1) vibroarthographic signals (VAG) - 89 signals with 51 normal and 38 abnormal; and 2) pathological speech signals - 100 signals with 50 normal and 50 pathological. Classification accuracies of 76.4% with the VAG database and 96% with the pathological speech database were obtained. This modified method of signal analysis using LDB has shown its powerfulness in analyzing non-stationary signals.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
