AbstractIn 1869, the first draft of the periodic table was published by Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev. In terms of data science, his achievement can be viewed as a successful example of feature embedding based on human cognition: chemical properties of all known elements at that time were compressed onto the two-dimensional grid system for a tabular display. In this study, we seek to answer the question of whether machine learning can reproduce or recreate the periodic table by using observed physicochemical properties of the elements. To achieve this goal, we developed a periodic table generator (PTG). The PTG is an unsupervised machine learning algorithm based on the generative topographic mapping, which can automate the translation of high-dimensional data into a tabular form with varying layouts on-demand. The PTG autonomously produced various arrangements of chemical symbols, which organized a two-dimensional array such as Mendeleev’s periodic table or three-dimensional spiral table according to the underlying periodicity in the given data. We further showed what the PTG learned from the element data and how the element features, such as melting point and electronegativity, are compressed to the lower-dimensional latent spaces.

AbstractIn recent years, the usage of portable electroencephalogram (EEG) devices are becoming popular for both clinical and non-clinical applications. In order to provide more comfort to the subject and measure the EEG signals for several hours, these devices usually consists of fewer EEG channels or even with a single EEG channel. However, electrooculogram (EOG) signal, also known as eye-blink artifact, produced by involuntary movement of eyelids, always contaminate the EEG signals. Very few techniques are available to remove these artifacts from single channel EEG and most of these techniques modify the uncontaminated regions of the EEG signal. In this paper, we developed a new framework that combines unsupervised machine learning algorithm (k-means) and singular spectrum analysis (SSA) technique to remove eye blink artifact without modifying actual EEG signal. The novelty of the work lies in the extraction of the eye-blink artifact based on the time-domain features of the EEG signal and the unsupervised machine learning algorithm. The extracted eye-blink artifact is further processed by the SSA method and finally subtracted from the contaminated single channel EEG signal to obtain the corrected EEG signal. Results with synthetic and real EEG signals demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method over the existing methods. Moreover, the frequency based measures [the power spectrum ratio ($$\Gamma $$ Γ ) and the mean absolute error (MAE)] also show that the proposed method does not modify the uncontaminated regions of the EEG signal while removing the eye-blink artifact.

<p>While the population of pet dogs and veterinary clinics are increasing, there is no reliable and useful software for pet owners/caregivers who have limited knowledge on the pet diseases. In this paper, we propose a pre-diagnosis system working on the mobile platform that the pet owner can take a pre-diagnosis from his/her observation of pet dog’s abnormality. Technically, the system needs a reliable databases for disease-symptom association thus we provide it based on the textbook and encyclopedia. Then, we apply Possibilistic C-Means algorithm that is an unsupervised machine learning algorithm to form the connections between disease and symptoms from database. The system outputs five most probable diseases from the observed symptoms of pet dog. The utility of this system is to alert the owner’s attention on the pet dog’s abnormal behavior and try to find the diseases as soon as possible.</p>


Visualization ensures the modern expectation of all forms of data. It is important to understand the data and its statistical variance graphically. Visualization on crime data would be supportive to analyze and prevent the threats in society. According to recent surveys and records, India has undergone many crime issues which occur on women. In order to prevent and analyze the crime issues against women, Data visualization is a useful approach to deal with it. The current data technologies available are appropriate to accomplish the task of visualization for women safety. Efficient visualization with effective machine learning algorithm and its performance finds the response for data related requests in the field of data science. This paper clarifies the details of crime against women through a graphical approach and illustrates about how to notify the unsafe levels by alert to safeguard the women
