    With air pollution having become a global concern, scientists are committed to working on its amelioration. In the field of air pollution prediction, there have been good results in experimental research so far, but few studies have integrated weather forecast information and the properties of air pollution drift. In this work, we propose a novel wind-sensitive attention mechanism with a long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network model to predict the air pollution - PM2.5 concentrations by considering the influence of wind direction and speed on the changes of spatial-temporal PM2.5 concentrations in neighbouring areas. Preliminary predictions for PM2.5 are then made by an LSTM neural network regarding neighbouring pollution; these predictions are "paid attention to" and we finally apply an ensemble learning method based on eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) to combine the preliminary predictions with weather forecasting to make second phase predictions of PM2.5. The experiment is conducted using PM2.5 data and weather forecast data. Our results illustrate that the proposed method is superior to other methods in predicting PM2.5 concentrations, including multi-layer perceptron, support vector regression, LSTM neural network, and extreme gradient boosting algorithm.

    To facilitate the transition of brain-computer interface (BCI) systems from laboratory settings to real-world application, it is very important to minimize or even completely eliminate the subject-specific calibration requirement. There has been active research on calibrationless BCI systems for classification applications, e.g., P300 speller. To our knowledge, there is no literature on calibrationless BCI systems for regression applications, e.g., estimating the continuous drowsiness level of a driver from EEG signals. This paper proposes a novel spectral meta-learner for regression (SMLR) approach, which optimally combines base regression models built from labeled data from auxiliary subjects to label offline EEG data from a new subject. Experiments on driver drowsiness estimation from EEG signals demonstrate that SMLR significantly outperforms three state-of-the-art regression model fusion approaches. Although we introduce SMLR as a regression model fusion in the BCI domain, we believe its applicability is far beyond that.

    Ensemble learning is a powerful approach to construct a strong learner from multiple base learners. The most popular way to aggregate an ensemble of classifiers is majority voting, which assigns a sample to the class that most base classifiers vote for. However, improved performance can be obtained by assigning weights to the base classifiers according to their accuracy. This paper proposes an agreement rate initialized maximum likelihood estimator (ARIMLE) to optimally fuse the base classifiers. ARIMLE first uses a simplified agreement rate method to estimate the classification accuracy of each base classifier from the unlabeled samples, then employs the accuracies to initialize a maximum likelihood estimator (MLE), and finally uses the expectation-maximization algorithm to refine the MLE. Extensive experiments on visually evoked potential classification in a brain-computer interface application show that ARIMLE outperforms majority voting, and also achieves better or comparable performance with several other state-of-the-art classifier combination approaches.

    The ability of antibodies to respond to an antigen depends on the antibodies' specific recognition of epitopes, which are sites of the antigen to which antibodies bind. An increase in the availability of protein sequences and structures has enabled the identification of conformational epitopes, using various computational methods. The meta learner, among various approaches, has proved its feasibility and comparable accuracy in B-cell epitope prediction in previous studies. Nevertheless, its performance highly depends on the classification results of its multiple epitope base predictors within the meta learning architecture. We here propose bagging meta decision trees for epitope prediction to avoid the dependence on epitope prediction tools, and introduce 3D sphere-based attributes to improve prediction accuracy. Our experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of the bagging meta decision tree approach in comparison with single epitope predictors.

    Convolutional neural networks (CNNs), which are composed of multiple processing layers to learn the representations of data with multiple abstract levels, are the most successful machine learning models in recent years. However, these models can have millions of parameters and many layers, which are difficult to train, and sometimes several days or weeks are required to tune the parameters. Within this paper, we present the usage of a trained deep convolutional neural network model to extract the features of the images, and then, used the AdaBoost algorithm to assemble the Softmax classifiers into recognizable images. This method resulted in a 3% increase of accuracy of the trained CNN models, and dramatically reduced the retraining time cost, and thus, it has good application prospects.

    One big challenge that hinders the transition of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) from laboratory settings to real-life applications is the availability of high-performance and robust learning algorithms that can effectively handle individual differences, i.e., algorithms that can be applied to a new subject with zero or very little subject-specific calibration data. Transfer learning and domain adaptation have been extensively used for this purpose. However, most previous works focused on classification problems. This paper considers an important regression problem in BCI, namely, online driver drowsiness estimation fromEEG signals. By integrating fuzzy sets with domain adaptation, we propose a novel online weighted adaptation regularization for regression (OwARR) algorithm to reduce the amount of subject-specific calibration data, and also a source domain selection (SDS) approach to save about half of the computational cost of OwARR. Using a simulated driving dataset with 15 subjects, we show that OwARR and OwARR-SDS can achieve significantly smaller estimation errors than several other approaches. We also provide comprehensive analyses on the robustness of OwARR and OwARR-SDS.
