The linking of research in machine learning with research in knowledge-based design is such that each of the two areas benefit from the consideration of the other. The use of machine learning in design addresses the perceived need to support the capture and representation of design knowledge, because handcrafting a representation is a difficult and time-consuming task. In addition, design provides a task with which to investigate the usefulness of existing machine learning techniques, and, perhaps, to discover new ones.

The complication of people with diabetes causes an illness known as Diabetic Retinopathy (DR). It is very widespread among middle-aged and older people. As diabetes progresses, patients' vision may deteriorate and cause DR. People to lose their vision because of this illness. To cope with DR, early detection is needed. Patients will have to be checked by doctors regularly, which is a waste of time and energy. DR can be divided into two groups: non-proliferative (NPDR) while the other is proliferative (PDR). In this study, machine learning (ML) techniques are used to diagnose DR early. These are PNN, SVM, Bayesian Classification, and K-Means Clustering. These techniques will be evaluated and compared with each other to choose the best methodology. A total of 300 fundus photographs are processed for training and testing. The features are extracted from these raw images using image processing techniques. After an experiment, it is concluded that PNN has an accuracy of about 89%, Bayes Classifications 94%, SVM 97%, and K-Means Clustering 87%. The preliminary results prove that SVM is the best technique for early detection of DR.


Online shopping's have achieved an immense growth. All like to do it as there is no need to physically to the shop and we have a wide range of collections available in the online sites from which we can actually buy the product. The customers usually tend to purchase a product that has a good customer review and has the highest rating. Numerous reviews are given for a single product and the most of the important reviews are not organized well which makes it disappear from the other reviews. Numerous researchers have worked on structuring the reviews for various purposes. In this work we propose a sentimental analysis of customer reviews for various hotel items. All the items are reviewed by the customers and the proposed work makes an analysis of the reviews obtained for a particular item in all the available shops. This analysis is helpful injudging the most likely consumed food by the customers around and can get to know the competiveness of the product being delivered to the customers. Machine Learning techniques and Natural language Processing (NLP) are used for the proposed work and is observed to produce an efficient result.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes the COVID-19 pandemic, has had an unprecedented impact on healthcare requiring multidisciplinary innovation and novel thinking to minimize impact and improve outcomes. Wide-ranging disciplines have collaborated including diverse clinicians (radiology, microbiology, and critical care), who are working increasingly closely with data-science. This has been leveraged through the democratization of data-science with the increasing availability of easy to access open datasets, tutorials, programming languages, and hardware which makes it significantly easier to create mathematical models. To address the COVID-19 pandemic, such data-science has enabled modeling of the impact of the virus on the population and individuals for diagnostic, prognostic, and epidemiological ends. This has led to two large systematic reviews on this topic that have highlighted the two different ways in which this feat has been attempted: one using classical statistics and the other using more novel machine learning techniques. In this review, we debate the relative strengths and weaknesses of each method toward the specific task of predicting COVID-19 outcomes.


Human body prioritizes the heart as the second most important organ after the brain. Any disruption in the heart ultimately leads to disruption of the entire body. Being the members of modern era, enormous changes are happening to us on a daily basis that impact our lives in one way or the other. A major disease among top five fatal diseases includes the heart disease which has been consuming lives worldwide. Therefore, the prediction of this disease is of prime importance as it will enable one to take a proper and needful approach at a proper time. Data mining and machine learning are taking out and refining of useful information from a massive amount of data. It is a basic and primary process in defining and discovering useful information and hidden patterns from databases. The flexibility and adaptability of optimization algorithms find its use in dealing with complex non -linear problems. Machine Learning techniques find its use in medical sciences in solving real health-related issues by early prediction and treatment of various diseases. In this paper, six machine learning algorithms are used and then compared accordingly based on the evaluation of performance. Among all classifiers, decision tree outperforms over the other algorithms with a testing accuracy of 97.29%.

Today, smartphones and Android devices are effectively in development like never before and have become the easiest cybercrime forum. It is necessary for security experts to investigate the vengeful programming composed for these frameworks if we closely observe the danger to security and defence. The main objective of this paper was to describe Mobile Sandbox, which is said to be a platform intended to periodically examine Android applications in new ways. First of all in the essence of the after-effects of static analysis that is used to handle the dynamic investigation, it incorporates static and dynamic examination and attempts to justify the introduction of executed code. On the other hand, to log calls to native APIs, it uses those techniques, and in the end, it combines the end results with machine learning techniques to collect the samples analysed into dangerous ones. We reviewed the platform for more than 69, 000 applications from multi-talented Asian international businesses sectors and found that about 21% of them officially use the local calls in their code

This paper first constructs a numerical text review score by applying text analytics and machine learning techniques to more than three million online text reviews collected from the Airbnb platform. Next, we employ the text review score to analyze the effect of review length on text review score and obtain insights on the interplay between the text review length and online reputation. The main contributions of this paper include: experimenting with advanced text analytics and machine learning approaches to assess online reputation; constructing an innovative text review score as a new online reputation measure; building a large knowledge-based review corpus with labels; and obtaining important insights about the effects of text review length on online reputation. Further, it has managerial and business implications for all internet platform markets and the sharing economy players seeking to build more effective online reputation systems.

In the military, police, security companies, and shooting sports, precision shooting training is of the outmost importance. In order to achieve high shooting accuracy, a lot of training is needed. As a result, trainees use a large number of cartridges and a considerable amount of time of professional trainers, which can cost a lot. Our motivation is to reduce costs and shorten training time by introducing an augmented biofeedback system based on machine learning techniques. We are designing a system that can detect and provide feedback on three types of errors that regularly occur during a precision shooting practice: excessive hand movement error, aiming error and triggering error. The system is designed to provide concurrent feedback on the hand movement error and terminal feedback on the other two errors. Machine learning techniques are used innovatively to identify hand movement errors; the other two errors are identified by the threshold approach. To correct the excessive hand movement error, a precision shot accuracy prediction model based on Random Forest has proven to be the most suitable. The experimental results show that: (1) the proposed Random Forest (RF) model achieves the prediction accuracy of 91.27%, higher than any of the other reference models, and (2) hand movement is strongly related to the accuracy of precision shooting. Appropriate use of the proposed augmented biofeedback system will result in a lower number of rounds used and shorten the precision shooting training process.
