DIMENSIONALITY REDUCTION FOR SENSORY DATASETS BASED ON MASTER-SLAVE SYNCHRONIZATION OF LORENZ SYSTEM.

In this study, we propose a novel method for reducing the attributes of sensory datasets using Master-Slave Synchronization of chaotic Lorenz Systems (DPSMS). As part of the performance testing, three benchmark datasets and one Electronic Nose (EN) sensory dataset with 3 to 13 attributes were presented to our algorithm to be projected into two attributes. The DPSMS-processed datasets were then used as input vector to four artificial intelligence classifiers, namely Feed-Forward Artificial Neural Networks (FFANN), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), Decision Tree (DT) and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN). The performance of the classifiers was then evaluated using the original and reduced datasets. Classification rate of 94.5%, 89%, 94.5% and 82% were achieved when reduced Fishers iris, crab gender, breast cancer and electronic nose test datasets were presented to the above classifiers.
