Advanced analytics on IV curves and electroluminescence images of photovoltaic modules using machine learning algorithms

Every year fraud cost generated in the economy is more than $4 trillion internationally. This is unsurprising, as the return on investment for fraud can be massive. Cybercrime specialists estimate that an investment of 1 million dollars into fraud or attack can net up to $100 million. Financial institutions such as commercial and investment banking operations are increasingly being targeted. And we know that the only way to fight fraud effectively is through the use of advanced technology. The answer lies in relying on advanced analytics and enterprisewide data storage capabilities that support the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) approaches to stay one step ahead of criminals. AI is best suited to defend against today’s fast-changing and complex bank fraud, where new threats are under development every day. Approaches relying on fragmented and siloed data, rules-based approaches or traditional point-solutions are no longer acceptable. These approaches are not only ineffective, but they are extremely costly to banks and financial services firms because they force legal and compliance teams to spend a lot of time trying to gain access to the data they need. By relying on advanced analytics and AI and ML capabilities, fraud and compliance units can spend their time working on more-complex fraud issues. Manual investigation can be reduced through the use of complex algorithms powered by ML, often in conjunction with rules, a combination that offers significant advantages over purely based -rules fraud detection. In this paper, we have included different machine learning algorithms used to detect credit card frauds and also provide a comparative study between different algorithms.

The Impact

The motion picture industry is one of the largest industries worldwide and has significant importance in the global economy. Considering the high stakes and high risks in the industry, forecast models and decision support systems are gaining importance. Several attempts have been made to estimate the theatrical performance of a movie before or at the early stages of its release. Nevertheless, these models are mostly used for predicting domestic performances and the industry still struggles to predict box office performances in overseas markets. In this study, the aim is to design a forecast model using different machine learning algorithms to estimate the theatrical success of US movies in Turkey. From various sources, a dataset of 1559 movies is constructed. Firstly, independent variables are grouped as pre-release, distributor type, and international distribution based on their characteristic. The number of attendances is discretized into three classes. Four popular machine learning algorithms, artificial neural networks, decision tree regression and gradient boosting tree and random forest are employed, and the impact of each group is observed by compared by the performance models. Then the number of target classes is increased into five and eight and results are compared with the previously developed models in the literature.

Constraint Model

The online English teaching system has certain requirements for the intelligent scoring system, and the most difficult stage of intelligent scoring in the English test is to score the English composition through the intelligent model. In order to improve the intelligence of English composition scoring, based on machine learning algorithms, this study combines intelligent image recognition technology to improve machine learning algorithms, and proposes an improved MSER-based character candidate region extraction algorithm and a convolutional neural network-based pseudo-character region filtering algorithm. In addition, in order to verify whether the algorithm model proposed in this paper meets the requirements of the group text, that is, to verify the feasibility of the algorithm, the performance of the model proposed in this study is analyzed through design experiments. Moreover, the basic conditions for composition scoring are input into the model as a constraint model. The research results show that the algorithm proposed in this paper has a certain practical effect, and it can be applied to the English assessment system and the online assessment system of the homework evaluation system algorithm system.

Simple Task

Detecting some patterns is a simple task for humans, but nearly impossible for current machine learning algorithms. Here, the "checkerboard" pattern is examined, where human prediction nears 100% and machine prediction drops significantly below 50%.
