Práca sa zaoberá spojeniami medzi štatistickou fyzikou a strojovým učením s dôrazom na základné princípy a ich dôsledky. Ďalej sa venuje obecným vlastnostiam spektroskopických dát a ich zohľadnení pri pokročilom spracovaní dát. Začiatok práce je venovaný odvodeniu partičnej sumy štatistického systému a štúdiu Isingovho modelu pomocou "mean field" prístupu. Následne, popri základnom úvode do strojového učenia, je ukázaná ekvivalencia medzi Isingovým modelom a Hopfieldovou sieťou - modelom strojového učenia. Na konci teoretickej časti je z Hopfieldovej siete odvodený model Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM). Vhodnosť použitia RBM na spracovanie spektroskopických dát je diskutovaná a preukázaná na znížení dimenzie týchto dát. Výsledky sú porovnané s bežne používanou Metódou Hlavných Komponent (PCA), spolu so zhodnotením prístupu a možnosťami ďalšieho zlepšovania.

[pt] A maioria dos laboratórios não conta com um sistema informatizado para gestão dos procedimentos pertinentes a cada caso. A administração e controle das amostras é feito manualmente, através de diversas fichas que são preenchidas desde o colhimento do material biológico, no hospital, até a identificação final da bactéria no laboratório. Dessa forma, a organização das informações fica limitada, uma vez que, estando as informações escritas à mão e guardadas em livros, é quase impossível a extração de conhecimento útil que possa servir não só no apoio à decisão, como também, na formulação de simples estatísticas. Esta dissertação teve dois objetivos principais. O desenvolvimento de um sistema Web, intitulado BCIWeb (Bacterial Classification and Identification for Web), que fosse capaz de auxiliar na identificação bacteriológica e prover a tecnologia necessária para a administração e controle de amostras clínicas oriundas de hospitais. E a descoberta de conhecimento na base de dados do sistema, através da mineração de dados utilizando os métodos de Mapas Auto-Organizáveis (SOM: Self-Organizing Maps) e Redes Multilayer Perceptrons (MLP) para classificação e identificação de bactérias. A partir do desenvolvimento desta ferramenta amigável, no estudo de caso, os dados históricos do LDCIC (Laboratório de Difteria e Corinebactérias de Importância Clínica) do Departamento de Biologia da UERJ foram inseridos no sistema. Os métodos inteligentes propostos para classificação e identificação de bactérias foram analisados e apresentaram resultados promissores na área. / [en] Most laboratories do not have a computerized system for management procedures. The administration and control of the samples are made manualy through many forms of data sheets which are filled from the beginning, when the samples of biological materials are gathered at the hospital, up to the final identification at the laboratory. In this context, the organization of the information become very limited, while the information writting by hands and stored in books, its almost impossible to extract useful knowledge, which could help not only supporting decisions but also in the formulations of simples statistics. This thesis had two objectives. The development of a web system called BCIWeb (Bacterial Classifiation and Identification for Web) that could assist in bacterial identification and provide the technology necessary for the administration and control of clinical specimen coming from the hospitals and the discovery of knowledge in database system, through data mining methods using SOM (Self Organizing Maps) and Multilayer Perceptron Neural Networks (MLP) for classification and identificatin of bactéria. From the development of this friendly tool, in the case study, the historical data from LDCIC (Laboratório de Difteria e Corinebactérias de Importância Clínica) of UERJ Biology Department were entered into the system. The proposed intelligent methods for classification and identification of bacteria were analysed and showed promising results.

La presente investigación propone un dispositivo electrónico portátil que permite el diagnóstico rápido de enfermedades utilizando tiras rápidas o ensayos de flujo lateral (LFAs), el cual indica si el resultado es positivo, negativo o inválido, dichas tiras utilizan como muestra el suero de sangre. Actualmente existen soluciones similares con un costo muy elevado, por lo que en el Laboratorio de Biología Molecular del Instituto de Investigación de Enfermedades Infecciosas (IIEI) se realiza el diagnóstico por inspección visual; como consecuencia de la fatiga visual, se reduce la confiabilidad de los resultados proporcionados por los técnicos del laboratorio. En la literatura científica se propone como solución un equipo que requiere de una cámara de celular, iluminación con láser, el uso de algoritmos de visión artificial y de redes neuronales convolucionales. El presente equipo utiliza algoritmos computacionales de procesamiento digital de imágenes sobre una foto tomada por la cámara digital integrada, recorte del área de interés, construcción de histogramas y adquisición de descriptores de los componentes R, G y B de la imagen, que serán utilizados por una red neuronal multicapa. Dicho software se complementa con un hardware que incluye un computador de placa reducida, el cual emitirá el resultado a través de una pantalla táctil e interactiva. De acuerdo con lo obtenido al emplear el algoritmo, se consiguió un grado de acuerdo superior a 0.9, para esto se utilizó el índice de Kappa Cohen, coincidiendo mayormente los resultados emitidos por los técnicos de laboratorio con los obtenidos por la solución propuesta. / This dissertation proposes a portable electronic device that allows the rapid diagnosis of diseases using rapid immunochromatographic test or lateral flow assays (LFAs) which indicates whether the result is positive, negative, or invalid, these strips use blood serum as a sample. Nowadays there are similar solutions to which they have a very high cost, so the diagnosis is made by visual inspection at the Laboratorio de Biología Molecular del Instituto de Investigación de Enfermedades Infecciosas (IIEI); because of visual fatigue, the reliability of the results provided by laboratory technicians is reduced. In the scientific literature, the design of a device that requires a cell phone camera, laser lighting, the use of artificial vision algorithms and convolutional neural networks is proposed as a solution. This equipment uses computational algorithms for digital image processing on a photo taken by the integrated digital camera, such as trimming the area of ​​interest, constructing histograms and acquisition of descriptors of the R, G and B components of the image taken by the camera, which will be used by a multilayer neural network. This software is complemented by hardware that includes a reduced board computer, which will issue the results through an interactive touch screen. According to what was obtained when using the algorithm, a degree of agreement greater than 0.9 was achieved, for this the Kappa Cohen index was used, mostly coinciding with the results issued by the laboratory technicians with those obtained by the proposed solution. / Tesis

The resume of this master´s thesis is to introduce reader into principal component analysis (PCA), namely, the use of PCA for analysis of ECG. This method allows to reduce quantity of the data without loss of useful information. That is why PCA is widespread for preprocessing of the data for further classification, which this thesis also deals. Data available at the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Technology in Brno were used in this work. All the methods were realized using Matlab.

This work focuses on the theory of artificial neural networks: the history, individual ways of learning and architecture of networks.
