Classification Consequences of Preprocessing Radar Data

David Gorsich, Robert E. Karlsen, Grant R. Gerhart · 2000

Abstract : Support vector machines are classification algorithms based on quadratic programming that have been found to give excellent classification results on problems such as discriminating targets versus backgrounds. A key capability of these algorithms is that they need not require a preprocessing step to find feature vectors, yet preprocessing is still typically used. Preprocessing is still an important step in the classification process. We discuss what type of preprocessing steps are useful in improving the classifications results of support vector machines. We first give a short introduction to support vector machines. Then the algorithm is applied to the MSTAR radar data set. Several methods to preprocess the data are used before being sent to the support vector machine. The effect on the classification rate of the algorithm is then determined.

Fundamentals of Data Analysis and Preprocessing

Sudipta Hazra, Arindam Mondal · 2025

The general structure for data curation was proposed in this chapter. It covers the many stages of preparation and preprocessing for data. Many other datasets can be fitted by the overall framework that is described. Raw data that have not been cleaned and curated are typically unsuitable for drawing accurate conclusions. Within the topic of data curation and preparation, the most widely used algorithms and strategies are covered in detail in this chapter. The methodology for data curation, imputation, feature extraction, correlation analysis, and real-world implementation of these algorithms is covered in this chapter's framework. We also offered methods that we have created based on our data processing skills. Lastly, we demonstrated with a real-world example how applying various imputation techniques affects support vector machine efficiency and performance. The chapter outlines a process for taking unstructured, unprocessed data and turning it into well-organized data that may be used with sophisticated machine learning algorithms or other advanced data analysis techniques.

Automated Data Cleaning and Preprocessing System

Aman Rawat, Mr.Ritesh Kumar · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) · 2025

Data preprocessing is a fundamental step in any machine learning pipeline, as the quality of input data directly influences the reliability and accuracy of predictive models. Real-world datasets often contain missing values, duplicate entries, inconsistent formats, outliers, and non-standardized features, making manual preprocessing time-consuming, error-prone, and difficult to reproduce. To address these challenges, this research presents an Automated Data Cleaning and Preprocessing System designed to streamline the transformation of raw data into structured, analysis-ready form with minimal user intervention. The system integrates automated detection of missingness, statistical and algorithmic imputation, outlier identification, categorical encoding, normalization, and comprehensive summary reporting through a modular pipeline architecture. Experiments conducted on diverse datasets from multiple domains demonstrate improvements in data consistency, distributional stability, and downstream machine learning performance. The results highlight that automated preprocessing not only reduces human effort but also ensures reproducibility, scalability, and enhanced model accuracy, making it suitable for academic research, industrial applications, and production-level data workflows.

Data preprocessing methods for VLBI applications

Ying Quan, Weimin Zheng · 2010

The software correlator system (SCS) is a key module of Chinese VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometry) Network (CVN). The main tasks of SCS include data pre-processing, fringe-searching, correlation, and phase correction signal extraction. In this paper, we propose four approaches for high-speed VLBI data preprocessing on the universal PC-server platform, namely sliding window based time decoding, dynamic lookup-table scheme, squeeze strategy and data synchronization. The experiment results achieved a very small latency especially when the data rate was greater than 256Mbps per station.

Data Preprocessing for Efficient Sentimental Analysis

Shreyas Wankhede, Ranjit A. Patil, Sagar Sonawane et al. · 2018

Sentiment analysis is an important research area that identifies the people's sentiments, opinions and emotions underlying a text. As the use of social media is increasing day by day, it plays an essential role in communication through technology. Twitter, which is one of the popular and largely used social media platforms for communication has more than 200 million tweets per day. Tweets are short in length and due to limited size of tweets people generally commit some mistakes while tweeting so pre-processing is necessary. The use of modern emoticons which are known as emojis that is largely used in social media communications that conveys variety of emotions. The purpose of this paper is to use N -gram method and Hidden Markov Model for Spell-Checking and Correction of tweets and also Emoji Sentiment Ranking method which is used to evaluate sentiment mapping of emojis by using sentiment polarity such as negative, neutral, or positive.

EXTERNAL DATA PREPROCESSING FOR EFFICIENT SORTING

S. Hrushikesava Raju, T. Swarna Latha · 2015

Paper presents external sorting using data preprocessing. Generally, huge data of any organization possess data redundancy, noise and data inconsistency. To eliminate, Data preprocessing should be performed on raw data, then sorting technique is applied on it. Data preprocessing includes many methods such as data cleaning, data integration, data transformation and data reduction. Depending on the complexity of given data, these methods are taken and applied on raw data in order to produce quality of data. Then, external sorting is applied. The external sorting now takes the number of passes less than actual passes log B (N/M) + 1 for B – way external merge sorting, and number of Input / Outputs less than 2*N * (log B (N/M) + 1) of Input / Outputs and also involve least number of runs compared to actual basic external sorting.

Mudhafar Jalil Jassim Ghrabat (22177655), Arkan A. Ghaib (22177658), Auhood Al-Hossenat (22177661) et al. · Figshare · 2025

<div> Breast cancer is highlighted in recent research as one of the most prevalent types of cancer. Timely identification is essential for enhancing patient results and decreasing fatality rates. Utilizing computer-assisted detection and diagnosis early on may greatly improve the chances of recovery by accurately predicting outcomes and developing suitable treatment plans. Grading breast cancer properly, especially evaluating nuclear atypia, is difficult owing to faults and inconsistencies in slide preparation and the intricate nature of tissue patterns. This work explores the capability of deep learning to extract characteristics from histopathology photos of breast cancer. The research introduces a new method called SMOTE-based Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) technology to detect areas impacted by Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC) in whole slide pictures. The trials used a dataset of 162 individuals with IDC, split into training (113 photos) and testing (49 images) groups. Every model was subjected to individual testing. The SMO_CNN model we developed demonstrated exceptional testing and training accuracies of 98.95% and 99.20% respectively, surpassing CNN, VGG19, and ResNet50 models. The results highlight the effectiveness of the created model in properly detecting IDC-affected tissue areas, showing great promise for improving breast cancer diagnosis and treatment planning. We surpassing other models as such, CNN, VGG19, ResNet50. </div>
