Item STOP CONSONANT-SHORT VOWEL (SCSV) CLASSIFICATION FOR TAMIL SPEECH UTTERANCES(2016-02) S, Karpagavalli; E, ChandraTamil Language is one of the ancient Dravidian languages spoken in south India. Most of the Indian languages are syllabic in nature and syllables are in the form of Consonant-Vowel (CV) units. In Tamil language, CV pattern occurs in the beginning, middle and end of a word. In this work, CV units formed with Stop Consonant – Short Vowel (SCSV) were considered for classification task. The work carried out in three stages, Vowel Onset Point (VOP) detection, CV segmentation and classification. VOP is an event at which the consonant part ends and vowel part begins. VOPs are identified using linear Prediction residuals which provide significant characteristics of the excitation source. To segment the CV units, fixed length spectral frames before and after VOPs are considered. Both production based features - Linear Predictive Cepstral Coefficients (LPCC) and perception based features - Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) are extracted and given as input to the classifiers designed with multilayer perceptron and support vector machine. A speech corpus of 200 Tamil words uttered by 15 native speakers was used, which covers all SCSV units formed with Tamil stop consonants (/k/,/ch/,/d/,/t/,/p/) and short vowels (/a/,/i/, /u/, /e/, /o/). The classifiers are trained and tested for its performance using various measures. The results indicate that the model built with MFCC using support vector machine RBF kernel outperforms.Item CLASSIFICATION OF LUNG DISEASE USING LOCAL AND GLOBAL DESCRIPTORS(International Journal of Computer Applications, 2016-02) Pradeebha R; Karpagavalli SRecent trends indicate that instances of chronic respiratory diseases are on the rise in India mainly due to vehicular pollution, air and dust pollution, habit of smoking and also increased population. A World Health Organization report indicates that India has a ranking number one in the world for lung disease deaths. Respiratory diseases like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD), pneumonia, tuberculosis (TB) are emerging as most important health problems in the country. The proposed work is aimed at establishing more advanced diagnostic strategy for lung diseases using CT scan images. Lung diseases such as Emphysema, Pneumonia, Bronchitis are classified using CT scan images which is collected from National Biomedical Imaging Archive (NBIA). A total of 366 images are used, out of which 300 images are used for training and 66 images are used for testing. The classification task carried out with classifier support vector machine (SVM) using Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) –global descriptors and Local Binary Pattern (LBP) – local descriptors. The performance of the model built using Support Vector Machine indicates that it is effective in the prediction of lung disease with 98% predictive accuracy.Item PREDICTION OF LUNG DISEASE USING HOG FEATURES AND MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHMS(Innovative Research in Computer and Communication Engineering, 2016-01) Pradeeba R; Karpagavalli SLung diseases are the one that mostly affects large number of people in the world. A sharp rise in respiratory disease in India due to infection, smoking and air pollution in the country. Respiratory diseases were no longer restricted to the elderly but were now being detected even in younger age groups. The early and correct diagnosis of any pulmonary disease is mandatory for timely treatment and prevent mortality. From a clinical standpoint, medical diagnosis tools and systems are of great importance. The proposed work is aimed at establishing more advanced diagnostic strategy for lung diseases using CT scan images. The three types of lung disease Emphysema, Pneumonia, Bronchitis are considered in this work. A dataset with 126 CT scan images of Emphysema, 120 CT scan images of Pneumonia and 120 CT scan images of Bronchitis are collected from National Biomedical Imaging Archive (NBIA) database. The classification of lung disease using Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) features is carried out using classifiers Naive Bayes (NB), Decision tree (J48), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The performance of the models is compared for its predictive accuracy and the results are presented.Item RECOGNITION OF TAMIL SYLLABLES USING VOWEL ONSET POINTS WITH PRODUCTION, PERCEPTION BASED FEATURES(ICTACT Journal on Soft Computing, 2016-01) Karpagavalli S; Chandra ETamil Language is one of the ancient Dravidian languages spoken in south India.

Handwriting exhibits behavioral characteristics of an individual and has been considered as unique. The style and shape of the letters written vary slightly for same writer and entirely different for different writers. Also alphabets in the handwritten text may have loops, crossings, junctions, different directions etc. Hence accurate prediction of individual based on his/her handwriting is highly complex and challenging task. This paper proposes a new model for discovering the writer’s identity based on Tamil handwriting. Writer identification problem is formulated as classification task and a pattern classification technique namely Support Vector Machine has been employed to construct the model. It has been reported about 93.8% of prediction accuracy by RBF kernel based classification model.Item A NOVEL APPROACH FOR PASSWORD STRENGTH ANALYSIS THROUGH SUPPORT VECTOR MACHINE(Academy Publishers, Finland, 2009-11) Karpagavalli S; Jamuna K S; Vijaya M SPasswords are ubiquitous authentication methods and they represent the identity of an individual for a system. Users are consistently told that a strong password is essential these days to protect private data. Despite the existence of more secure methods of authenticating users, including smart cards and biometrics, password authentication continues to be the most common means in use. Thus it is important for organizations to recognize the vulnerabilities to which passwords are subjected, and develop strong policies governing the creation and use of passwords to ensure that those vulnerabilities are not exploited. This work employs machine Learning technique to analyze the strength of the password to facilitate organizations launch a multi-faceted defense against password breach and provide a highly secure environment. A supervised learning algorithm namely Support Vector Machine is used for classification of password. The linear and nonlinear SVM classification models are trained using the features extracted from the password dataset. The trained model shows the prediction accuracy of about 98% for 10-fold cross validationItem AN EFFICIENT LEAF RECOGNITION ALGORITHM FOR PLANT CLASSIFICATION USING KERNELIZED SUPPORT VECTOR MACHINE(International Journal of Computer Science and Management Research (IJCSMR), 2013-02) Arunpriya C; Antony Selvadoss ThanamaniPlant recognition has become an active area of research as most of the plant species are at the risk of extinction. This paper uses an efficient machine learning approach for the classification purpose. This proposed approach consists of three phases such as preprocessing, feature extraction and classification. The preprocessing phase involves a typical image processing steps such as transforming to gray scale and boundary enhancement. The feature extraction phase derives the common DMF from five fundamental features. The values of the optimized σ are then used as a gauge for variable selection. In this study Kernelized (K-SVM) model is applied to several benchmark data sets in order to estimate the effectiveness of the second-order sigma tuning procedure for an RBF kernel.12 leaf features which are extracted and orthogonalized into 5 principal variables are given as input vector to the K-SVM. Classifier tested with flavia dataset and a real dataset and compared with k-NN approach, the proposed approach produces very high accuracy and takes very less execution time.
