Traffic flow mismanagement is a significant challenge in all countries especially in crowded cities. An alternative solution is to utilize smart technologies to predict traffic flow. In this study, frequency spectrum describing traffic sound characteristics is used as an indicator to predict the next five-minute vehicle density. Sound frequency and vehicle intensity are collected during a thirteen-hour data gathering. The collected sound intensity and frequency are then used to learn three machine-learning models - support vector machine, artificial neural network, and random forest and to predict vehicle intensity. It was found out that the performances of the three models based on root-mean-square-error values are 12.97, 16.01, and 10.67, respectively. These initial and satisfactory results pave a new way to predict traffic flow based on traffic sound characteristics which may serve as a better alternative to conventional features.

Detecting harmful content or hate speech on social media is a significant challenge due to the high throughput and large volume of content production on these platforms. Identifying hate speech in a timely manner is crucial in preventing its dissemination. We propose a novel stacked ensemble approach for detecting hate speech in English tweets. The proposed architecture employs an ensemble of three classifiers, namely support vector machine (SVM), logistic regression (LR), and XGBoost classifier (XGB), trained using word2vec and universal encoding features. The meta classifier, LR, combines the outputs of the three base classifiers and the features employed by the base classifiers to produce the final output. It is shown that the proposed architecture improves the performance of the widely used single classifiers as well as the standard stacking and classifier ensemble using majority voting. We also present results on the use of various combinations of machine learning classifiers as base classifiers. The experimental results from the proposed architecture indicated an improvement in the performance on all four datasets compared with the standard stacking, base classifiers, and majority voting. Furthermore, on three of these datasets, the proposed architecture outperformed all state-of-the-art systems.

Abstract Correlating synthesis conditions and their consequences is a significant challenge, particularly for materials formed as metastable phases via kinetically controlled pathways, such as zeolites, owing to a lack of descriptors that effectively illustrate the synthesis protocols and their corresponding results. This study analyzes the synthetic records of zeolites compiled from the literature using machine learning techniques to rationalize physicochemical, structural, and heuristic insights to their chemistry. The synthesis descriptors extracted from the machine learning models are used to identify structure descriptors with the appropriate importance. A similarity network of crystal structures based on the structure descriptors shows the formation of communities populated by synthetically similar materials, including those outside the dataset. Crossover experiments based on previously overlooked structural similarities reveal the synthesis similarity of zeolites, confirming the synthesis–structure relationship. This approach is applicable to any system to rationalize empirical knowledge, populate synthesis records, and discover novel materials.

Recently, with the increase in Internet usage, cybersecurity has been a significant challenge for computer systems. Different malicious URLs emit different malicious software and try to capture user information. Signature-based approaches have often been used to detect such websites and detected malicious URLs have been attempted to restrict access by using various security components. This chapter proposes using host-based and lexical features of the associated URLs to better improve the performance of classifiers for detecting malicious web sites. Random forest models and gradient boosting classifier are applied to create a URL classifier using URL string attributes as features. The highest accuracy was achieved by random forest as 98.6%. The results show that being able to identify malicious websites based on URL alone and classify them as spam URLs without relying on page content will result in significant resource savings as well as safe browsing experience for the user.

AbstractThis paper examines the use of machine learning in creating digitally integrated design-to-fabrication workflows. As computational design allows for new methods of material specification and fabrication, it enables direct functional grading of material at high detail thereby tuning the design performance in response to performance criteria. However, the generation of fabrication data is often cumbersome and relies on in-depth knowledge of the fabrication processes. Parametric models that set up for automatic detailing of incremental changes, unfortunately, do not accommodate the larger topological changes to the material set up. The paper presents the speculative case study KnitVault. Based on earlier research projects Isoropia and Ombre, the study examines the use of machine learning to train models for fabrication data generation in response to desired performance criteria. KnitVault demonstrates and validates methods for shortcutting parametric interfacing and explores how the trained model can be employed in design cases that exceed the topology of the training examples.

Imbalanced data is a significant challenge in classification with machine learning algorithms. This is particularly important with log message data as negative logs are sparse so this data is typically imbalanced. In this paper, a model to generate text log messages is proposed which employs a SeqGAN network. An Autoencoder is used for feature extraction and anomaly detection is done using a GRU network. The proposed model is evaluated with three imbalanced log data sets, namely BGL, OpenStack, and Thunderbird. Results are presented which show that appropriate oversampling and data balancing improves anomaly detection accuracy.

Silica nanospheres have attracted tremendous interest due to their importance in extensive applications. However, the direct large-scale fabrication of silica nanospheres with controlled morphology and high purity remains a significant challenge. In this work, silica nano-/submicron spheres were successfully synthesized by a simple method through pyrolysis of an amorphous polysilazane preceramic powder with catalyst FeCl2. The synthesized spheres possess well-designed shape with diameter of 600–800 nm and high purity. The surfaces of the spheres are smooth and clean without any flaws. Besides, the spheres are identified as amorphous silica, and their growth mechanism was also proposed.
