Classification and regression are the major applications of machine learning algorithms which are widely used to solve problems in numerous domains of engineering and computer science. Different classifiers based on the optimization of the decision tree have been proposed, however, it is still evolving over time. This paper presents a novel and robust classifier based on a decision tree and tabu search algorithms, respectively. In the aim of improving performance, our proposed algorithm constructs multiple decision trees while employing a tabu search algorithm to consistently monitor the leaf and decision nodes in the corresponding decision trees. Additionally, the used tabu search algorithm is responsible to balance the entropy of the corresponding decision trees. For training the model, we used the clinical data of COVID-19 patients to predict whether a patient is suffering. The experimental results were obtained using our proposed classifier based on the built-in sci-kit learn library in Python. The extensive analysis for the performance comparison was presented using Big O and statistical analysis for conventional supervised machine learning algorithms. Moreover, the performance comparison to optimized state-of-the-art classifiers is also presented. The achieved accuracy of 98%, the required execution time of 55.6 ms and the area under receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) for proposed method of 0.95 reveals that the proposed classifier algorithm is convenient for large datasets.

The paper presents a data-driven framework and related field studies on the use of supervised machine learning and smartphone technology for the spatial condition-assessment mapping of roadway pavement surface anomalies. The study explores the use of data, collected by sensors from a smartphone and a vehicle’s onboard diagnostic device while the vehicle is in movement, for the detection of roadway anomalies. The research proposes a low-cost and automated method to obtain up-to-date information on roadway pavement surface anomalies with the use of smartphone technology, artificial neural networks, robust regression analysis, and supervised machine learning algorithms for multiclass problems. The technology for the suggested system is readily available and accurate and can be utilized in pavement monitoring systems and geographical information system applications. Further, the proposed methodology has been field-tested, exhibiting accuracy levels higher than 90%, and it is currently expanded to include larger datasets and a bigger number of common roadway pavement surface defect types. The proposed system is of practical importance since it provides continuous information on roadway pavement surface conditions, which can be valuable for pavement engineers and public safety.

BACKGROUND There is a serious threat from fake news spreading in technologically advanced societies, including those in the Arab world, via deceptive machine-generated text. In the last decade, Arabic fake news identification has gained increased attention, and numerous detection approaches have revealed some ability to find fake news throughout various data sources. Nevertheless, many existing approaches overlook recent advancements in fake news detection, explicitly to incorporate machine learning algorithms system. OBJECTIVE Tebyan project aims to address the problem of fake news by developing a fake news detection system that employs machine learning algorithms to detect whether the news is fake or real in the context of Arab world. METHODS The project went through numerous phases using an iterative methodology to develop the system. This study analysis incorporated numerous stages using an iterative method to develop the system of misinformation and contextualize fake news regarding society's information. It consists of implementing the machine learning algorithms system using Python to collect genuine and fake news datasets. The study also assesses how information-exchanging behaviors can minimize and find the optimal source of authentication of the emergent news through system testing approaches. RESULTS The study revealed that the main deliverable of this project is the Tebyan system in the community, which allows the user to ensure the credibility of news in Arabic newspapers. It showed that the SVM classifier, on average, exhibited the highest performance results, resulting in 90% in every performance measure of sources. Moreover, the results indicate the second-best algorithm is the linear SVC since it resulted in 90% in performance measure with the societies' typical type of fake information. CONCLUSIONS The study concludes that conducting a system with machine learning algorithms using Python programming language allows the rapid measures of the users' perception to comment and rate the credibility result and subscribing to news email services.
