O Weka (Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis) é um conjunto de algoritmos de aprendizagem para a execução de tarefas de exploração de dados. Os algoritmos estão concretizados em Java e o código é de acesso livre e aberto. Neste trabalho desenvolveu-se um classificador (GC: GroupClassifier) que se integra com o Weka e que classifica exemplos com base na classificação de outros classificadores. Para classif...
Automatic sleep analysis has been a subject of interest since the sixties, mainly because of the growing importante of various sleep disorders. The visual analysis of sleep recordings is a tedious, laborious, time-consuming and expensive task. During a single night recording 400-500 meters of paper are produced and the visual analysis usually takes several hours of an expert.This work presents an environment wh...
In this work, the problem of digital coding of high quality audio signals is analised, and the principies of perceptual coding are identified as the most satisfactory solution. We present a synthesis of the perceptual coding systems found in the literuture, stressing their common structure, and we characterize the possible variants that each module in that structure allows. Based on this study, a new perceptual...
Sleep studies require the analysis of different physiological variables (EEG/EOG activities, respiratory rate, heart beat rate and 02 desaturation), generating a huge amount of data coming from different sources. Some automatic systems have been developed, but their use on a day-to-day basis is very seldom. (...); Os exames de sono exigem a análise de um grande número de variáveis fisiológicas (EEG/EOG, ritmo r...
This paper presents a new coding/compression algorithm for high-quality digital audio signals. The new codercomprehends a nonuniform filter bank, gain-adaptive logaritbmic quantizers, arithmetic coding, and an explicit psychoacoustic model that adapts the quantizers according to perceptual criteria. The new system differs from other perceptual coders in that its quantizers are backward-adaptive: the adaptation ...
This paper presents a new audio compression algorithm that includes a nonuniform filter bank, gain-adaptive logarithmic quantizers, arithmetic entropy coding and an explicit psychoacoustic model to adapt the quantization according to perceptual considerations. Unlike existing perceptual coders, the new system is backward-adaptive, i.e: adaptation depends exclusively on already quantized samples, not on the orig...
A investigação automática de sono teve início na década de 60, principalmente pelo interesse nas perburbações de sono manisfestadas por cada vez maior número de pessoas. A classificação visual de um registo de sono é uma tarefa monótona, morosa e cara. Um registo poligráfico de uma noite de sono tem cerca de 500m de comprimento e, um especialista pode levar algumas horas a analisá-lo. Este trabalho apresenta um...
