Title
Missing-data Classification with the Extended Full-dimensional Gaussian Mixture Model: Applications to EMG-based Motion Recognition
Abstract
Missing data is a common drawback that pattern recognition techniques need to handle when solving reallife classification tasks. This paper first discusses problems in handling high-dimensional samples with missing values by the Gaussian mixture model (GMM). Since fitting the GMM by directly using high-dimensional samples as inputs is difficult due to the convergence and stability issues, a novel method is proposed to build the high-dimensional GMM by extending a reduced-dimensional GMM to the full-dimensional space. Based on the extended full-dimensional GMM, two approaches, namely, marginalization and conditional-mean imputation, are proposed to classify samples with missing-data in online phase. Then, the proposed methods were employed to recognize hand motions from surface electromyography (sEMG) signals, and more than 75% of classification accuracy of motions can be obtained even if 50% of sEMG signals were missing. Comparisons with normal mean and zero imputations also demonstrate the improvements of the proposed methods. Finally, a control scheme for a myoelectric hand was designed by involving the novel methods, and online experiments confirm the ability of the proposed methods to improve the safety and stability of practical systems.
