In this paper a cost-effective sensor has been implemented to read finger bend signals, by attaching the sensor to a finger, so as to classify them based on the degree of bent as well as the joint about which the finger was being bent. This was done by testing with various machine learning algorithms to get the most accurate and consistent classifier. Finally, we found that Support Vector Machine was the best algorithm suited to classify our data, using we were able predict live state of a finger, i.e., the degree of bent and the joints involved. The live voltage values from the sensor were transmitted using a NodeMCU micro-controller which were converted to digital and uploaded on a database for analysis.

Abstract. Air pollution, which is one of the biggest problems created by the developing world, reaches severe levels, especially in urban areas. Weather stations established at certain points in countries regularly obtain data and inform people about air quality. In Smart City applications, it is aimed to perform this process with higher speed and accuracy by collecting data with thousands of sensors based on the Internet of Things. At this stage, artificial intelligence and machine learning plays a vital role in analyzing the data to be obtained. In this study, six pollutant concentrations; particulate matters (PM2.5 and PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), Ozone (O3), and carbon monoxide (CO), were predicted using three basic machine learning algorithms, namely, random forest, decision tree and support vector regression, by considering only meteorological data. Experiments on two different datasets showed that the random forest has a high prediction capacity (R2: 0.74–0.86), and high-accuracy predictions can be performed on pollutant concentrations using only meteorological data. This and further studies based on meteorological data would help to reduce the number of devices in Smart City applications and will make it more cost-effective.

Machine learning algorithms are used immensely for performing most important computational tasks with the help of sample data sets.  Most of the cases Machine learning algorithms will provide best solution where the programming languages failed to produce viable and economically cost-effective results.  Huge volume of deterministic problems are addressed and tackled by using the available sample data sets.  Because of this now a days machine learning concepts are extensively used in computer science and many other fields.  But still we need to explore more to implement machine learning in a specific field such as network analysis, stock trading, spam filters, traffic analysis, real-time and non-real time traffic etc., which may not be available in text books.  Here I would like to discourse some of the key points that the machine learning researchers and practitioners can make use of them.  These include shortcomings and concerns also.

AbstractThrough this pilot study, the association between Raman spectroscopy and Machine Learning algorithms were used for the first time with the purpose of distillates differentiation with respect to trademark, geographical and botanical origin. Two spectral Raman ranges (region I—200–600 cm−1 and region II—1200–1400 cm−1) appeared to have the higher discrimination potential for the investigated distillates. The proposed approach proved to be a very effective one for trademark fingerprint differentiation, a model accuracy of 95.5% being obtained (only one sample was misclassified). A comparable model accuracy (90.9%) was achieved for the geographical discrimination of the fruit spirits which can be considered as a very good one taking into account that this classification was made inside Transylvania region, among neighbouring areas. Because the trademark fingerprint is the prevailing one, the successfully distillate type differentiation, with respect to the fruit variety, was possible to be made only inside of each producing entity.

In today’s scenario, it is very essential in the development phase of a software, predicting a bug and to obtain a successful software. This can be achieved only through predicting some of the faults in the earlier phase itself such that, it can lead to have a reliable, efficient and a quality software. The challenging task here is to have a well sophisticated model that can predict the bug leading to a cost-effective software. In order to achieve this, few machine learning algorithms are used that produce accuracy with trained and test datasets. A variety of machine learning methodologies have been developed to learn and detect a bug in a software. In this paper, we perform the analysis on detecting a bug in a software using machine learning methods which is very much useful for Software Industries. It summarizes the existing work on detecting a bug in a software by providing the information about various methods involved in bug prediction and points out at the accuracy obtained by the existing methods, advantages, and the drawbacks while working with bug prediction.
