• Abstract: This work has been conducted in the context of pattern-recognition-based control for electromyographic prostheses. It presents a k-nearest neighbour (kNN) classification technique for gesture recognition, extended by a proportionality scheme. The methods proposed are practically implemented and validated. Datasets are captured by means of a state-of-the-art 8-channel electromyography (EMG) armband positioned on the forearm. Based on this data, the influence of kNN's parameters is analyzed in pilot experiments. Moreover, the effect of proportionality scaling and rest thresholding schemes is investigated. A randomized, double-blind user study is conducted to compare the implemented method with the state-of-research algorithm Ridge Regression with Random Fourier Features (RR-RFF) for different levels of gesture exertion. The results from these experiments show a statistically significant improvement in favour of the kNN-based algorithm.

• Machine Learning-Assisted Pattern Recognition Algorithms for Estimating Ultimate Tensile Strength in Fused Deposition Modeled Polylactic Acid Specimens [0.0]
  We investigate the application of supervised machine learning algorithms for estimating the Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) of Polylactic Acid (PLA) specimens fabricated using the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) process. The primary objective was to assess the accuracy and effectiveness of four distinct supervised classification algorithms, namely Logistic Classification, Gradient Boosting Classification, Decision Tree, and K-Nearest Neighbor. The results revealed that while the Decision Tree and K-Nearest Neighbor algorithms both achieved an F1 score of 0.71, the KNN algorithm exhibited a higher Area Under the Curve (AUC) score of 0.79, outperforming the other algorithms

  Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have effectively been demonstrated in solving forward and inverse differential equation problems. PINNs are trapped in training failures when the target functions to be approximated exhibit high-frequency or multi-scale features. In this paper, we propose to employ implicit gradient descent (ISGD) method to train PINNs for improving the stability of training process.

  Regularization of neural networks (e.g. dropout) is a widespread technique in deep learning that allows for better generalization. We show that data augmentation during the training improves the performance of both deterministic and versions of the same model. However, the improvements obtained by the data augmentation completely eliminate the empirical regularization gains, making the performance of neural ODE and neural SDE negligible.
