The study of fragile states has become a significant issue in global security, development and poverty at present. The existing classification methods of fragile state, which is a simple addition to the national index and threshold segmentation, is not reasonable enough. We introduce a new method based on machine learning. With this method, it will be easier and more reasonable to classify a country. We use two kinds of classifier, one of which is the support vector machine, and the other is the gradient boosted regression trees. Both models have flaws, so we use ensemble learning techniques to combine them. First of all, subjective labelling of a part of the national data to allows the machine to learn why a country becomes vulnerable from these data, and how to classify the vulnerability class of a country. Then, we trained the model with the data, and divided fragile states into four categories successfully (Alert, Warning, Stable and Sustainable). For the classification result, our model got a 93% test error rate, and a 96% training error rate, which is better than 77% with the threshold segmentation method.

AbstractClassification of multispectral optical satellite data using machine learning techniques to derive land use/land cover thematic data is important for many applications. Comparing the latest algorithms, our research aims to determine the best option to classify land use/land cover with special focus on temporary inundated land in a flat area in the south of Hungary. These inundations disrupt agricultural practices and can cause large financial loss. Sentinel 2 data with a high temporal and medium spatial resolution is classified using open source implementations of a random forest, support vector machine and an artificial neural network. Each classification model is applied to the same data set and the results are compared qualitatively and quantitatively. The accuracy of the results is high for all methods and does not show large overall differences. A quantitative spatial comparison demonstrates that the neural network gives the best results, but that all models are strongly influenced by atmospheric disturbances in the image.

This study proposes a workflow for land use and land cover (LULC) classification of Advanced Land Observing Satellite-2 (ALOS-2) Phased Array type L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar-2 (PALSAR-2) images of the Brazilian tropical savanna (Cerrado) biome. The following LULC classes were considered: forestlands; shrublands; grasslands; reforestations; croplands; pasturelands; bare soils/straws; urban areas; and water reservoirs. The proposed approach combines polarimetric attributes, image segmentation, and machine-learning procedures. A set of 125 attributes was generated using polarimetric ALOS-2/PALSAR-2 images, including the van Zyl, Freeman–Durden, Yamaguchi, and Cloude–Pottier target decomposition components, incoherent polarimetric parameters (biomass indices and polarization ratios), and HH-, HV-, VH-, and VV-polarized amplitude images. These attributes were classified using the Naive Bayes (NB), DT J48 (DT = decision tree), Random Forest (RF), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), and Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms. The RF, MLP, and SVM classifiers presented the most accurate performances. NB and DT J48 classifiers showed a lower performance in relation to the RF, MLP, and SVM. The DT J48 classifier was the most suitable algorithm for discriminating urban areas and natural vegetation cover. The proposed workflow can be replicated for other SAR images with different acquisition modes or for other types of vegetation domains.

In this paper, we apply the multi-class supervised machine learning techniques for classifying the agriculture farm machinery. The classification of farm machinery is important when performing the automatic authentication of field activity in a remote setup. In the absence of a sound machine recognition system, there is every possibility of a fraudulent activity taking place. To address this need, we classify the machinery using five machine learning techniques—K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest (RF) and Gradient Boosting (GB). For training of the model, we use the vibration and tilt of machinery. The vibration and tilt of machinery are recorded using the accelerometer and gyroscope sensors, respectively. The machinery included the leveler, rotavator and cultivator. The preliminary analysis on the collected data revealed that the farm machinery (when in operation) showed big variations in vibration and tilt, but observed similar means. Additionally, the accuracies of vibration-based and tilt-based classifications of farm machinery show good accuracy when used alone (with vibration showing slightly better numbers than the tilt). However, the accuracies improve further when both (the tilt and vibration) are used together. Furthermore, all five machine learning algorithms used for classification have an accuracy of more than 82%, but random forest was the best performing. The gradient boosting and random forest show slight over-fitting (about 9%), but both algorithms produce high testing accuracy. In terms of execution time, the decision tree takes the least time to train, while the gradient boosting takes the most time.

The classification of fresh fruits according to their ripeness is typically a subjective and tedious task; consequently, there is growing interest in the use of non-contact techniques such as those based on computer vision and machine learning. In this paper, we propose the use of non-intrusive techniques for the classification of Cape gooseberry fruits. The proposal is based on the use of machine learning techniques combined with different color spaces. Given the success of techniques such as artificial neural networks,support vector machines, decision trees, and K-nearest neighbors in addressing classification problems, we decided to use these approaches in this research work. A sample of 926 Cape gooseberry fruits was obtained, and fruits were classified manually according to their level of ripeness into seven different classes. Images of each fruit were acquired in the RGB format through a system developed for this purpose. These images were preprocessed, filtered and segmented until the fruits were identified. For each piece of fruit, the median color parameter values in the RGB space were obtained, and these results were subsequently transformed into the HSV and L*a*b* color spaces. The values of each piece of fruit in the three color spaces and their corresponding degrees of ripeness were arranged for use in the creation, testing, and comparison of the developed classification models. The classification of gooseberry fruits by ripening level was found to be sensitive to both the color space used and the classification technique, e.g., the models based on decision trees are the most accurate, and the models based on the L*a*b* color space obtain the best mean accuracy. However, the model that best classifies the cape gooseberry fruits based on ripeness level is that resulting from the combination of the SVM technique and the RGB color space.

Sentiment analysis helps to determine hidden intention of the concerned author of any topic and provides an evaluation report on the polarity of any document. The polarity may be positive, negative or neutral. It is observed that very often the data associated with the sentiment analysis consist of the feedback given by various specialists on any topic or product. Thus, the review may be categorized properly into any sort of class based on the polarity, in order to have a good knowledge about the product. This article proposes an approach to classify the review dataset made on basis of sentiment analysis into different polarity groups. Four machine learning algorithms viz., Naive Bayes (NB), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest, and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) have been considered in this paper for classification process. The obtained result on values of accuracy of the algorithms are critically examined by using different performance parameters, applied on two different datasets.

Bainite is an essential constituent of modern high strength steels. In addition to the still great challenge of characterization, the classification of bainite poses difficulties. Challenges when dealing with bainite are the variety and amount of involved phases, the fineness and complexity of the structures and that there is often no consensus among human experts in labeling and classifying those. Therefore, an objective and reproducible characterization and classification is crucial. To achieve this, it is necessary to analyze the substructure of bainite using scanning electron microscope (SEM). This work will present how textural parameters (Haralick features and local binary pattern) calculated from SEM images, taken from specifically produced benchmark samples with defined structures, can be used to distinguish different bainitic microstructures by using machine learning techniques (support vector machine). For the classification task of distinguishing pearlite, granular, degenerate upper, upper and lower bainite as well as martensite a classification accuracy of 91.80% was achieved, by combining Haralick features and local binary pattern.

With its excellent property combinations and ability to specifically adjust tailor-made microstructures, steel is still the world’s most important engineering and construction material. To fulfill ever-increasing demands and tighter tolerances in today’s steel industry, steel research remains indispensable. The continuous material development leads to more and more complex microstructures, which is especially true for steel designs that include bainitic structures. This poses new challenges for the classification and quantification of these microstructures. Machine learning (ML) based microstructure classification offers exciting potentials in this context. This paper is concerned with the automated, objective, and reproducible classification of the carbon-rich second phase objects in multi-phase steels by using machine learning techniques. For successful applications of ML-based classifications, a holistic approach combining computer science expertise and material science domain knowledge is necessary. Seven microstructure classes are considered: pearlite, martensite, and the bainitic subclasses degenerate pearlite, debris of cementite, incomplete transformation product, and upper and lower bainite, which can all be present simultaneously in one micrograph. Based on SEM images, textural features (Haralick parameters and local binary pattern) and morphological parameters are calculated and classified with a support vector machine. Of all second phase objects, 82.9% are classified correctly. Regarding the total area of these objects, 89.2% are classified correctly. The reported classification can be the basis for an improved, sophisticated microstructure quantification, enabling process–microstructure–property correlations to be established and thereby forming the backbone of further, microstructure-centered material development.
