Machine learning-based classification analysis of knowledge worker mental stress.

The aim of this study is to analyze the performance of classifying stress and non-stress by measuring biosignal data using a wearable watch without interfering with work activities at work. An experiment is designed where participants wear a Galaxy Watch3 to measure HR and photoplethysmography data while performing stress-inducing and relaxation tasks. The classification model was constructed using k-NN, SVM, DT, LR, RF, and MLP classifiers.

An optimization criterion for generalized discriminant analysis on undersampled problems.

An optimization criterion is presented for discriminant analysis. The criterion extends the optimization criteria of the classical Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) through the use of the pseudoinverse when the scatter matrices are singular. It is applicable regardless of the relative sizes of the data dimension and sample size, overcoming a limitation of classical LDA.
