This paper presents a salary prediction system using the job listings from an employment website, in this case Glassdoor.com. A data mining technique is used to generate a model which will scrape number of jobs from the employment website, clean it on the basis of number of factors including the rival companies, revenue and skill required thereby predicting the salary to be expected when applying for a data science job. Techniques like linear regression, lasso regression, random forest regressors are optimised using GridsearchCV to reach the best model. The model can be further extended to build a flask API thus can be deployed on the internet for public usage.


Diabetes is a condition that happens when the blood glucose is too high, also known as blood sugar. The primary source of energy is blood sugar, and it comes from the food you eat. Insulin, a pancreatic hormone, helps food glucose get into the cells for energy use. It also leads for an unrelated condition named, "Diabetes Insipidus”, which entails complications with the processing of fluids in the kidney. Insulin is the key to the ability of the cell to use glucose. Problems with the processing of insulin or how cells perceive insulin can easily cause out of control the body's carefully balanced glucose metabolism process [1]. Diabetes emerges when either of these conditions happens, blood sugar levels rise and crash and the risk of organ damage. Earlier prediction of this diabetes condition could provide proper treatment to protect the people from un avoided illness. For this prediction we can apply data mining which is used predominantly in healthcare organizations for decision making, disease detection purpose. In this paper data have been collected from UCI repositories and the data mining tool (WEKA) is used to predict diabetes. In this database there are 768 instances in which 500 instances belongs to tested negative and 268 instances belongs to tested positive. An experimental study is carried out using data mining technique classification technique called Random Forest Tree (RFT) classifier to predict diabetes. In this research, we have used different cross fold validation to achieve better accuracy and we found that cross fold validation k= 8 gives high accuracy 76.69% while compared with other cross fold validation values.

data mining techniques in education sector have begun to evolve, along with the development of technology and the amount of data that can be stored in an education database storage system. One of them is a database of Bidikmisi scholarships in Indonesia. The Bidikmisi data used in this study will be classified using classification data mining technique. The technique that used in this study is random forest in combination with boosting algorithm and bagging algorithms. These algorithms also combine with SMOTE algorithm to handling the imbalance class in dataset. Based on the performance criteria G-mean and AUC, the algorithm combines with SMOTE tended to be better. The classification accuracy of each method being more than 90%

<p>The paper attempts to apply data mining Technique, Five classification algorithms were used to build data they are (ZeroR, SMO, Naive Bayesian, J48 and Random Forest).The analysis implemented using WEKA (3.8.2) Data mining software tool. The information was collected from college of Information Engineering (COIE) In Al Nahrain University within the variety of form using "Referendum" to estimate the teacher performance; it was store in Excel file CSV format then regenerate to ARFF (Attribute Relation File Format). Many criteria like (Time taken to create models, accuracy and average error) was taken to evaluate the algorithms Random forest and , SMO Predicts higher than alternative algorithms ,since  their  accuracy is the highest and have lowest average error compared to others  ,"The teacher clarification and  wanting to be useful  to students " was the strongest attribute. Further removing the bad ranked attributes (10, 11, 12, and 14) that have a lower contact on dataset can increase accuracies of algorithms</p>

This report highlights some of the major developments in the area of speech anatomy and physiology drawing from the author's own research experience during his years at the University of Iowa and the University of Illinois. He has benefited greatly from mentors including Professors James Curtis, Kenneth Moll, and Hughlett Morris at the University of Iowa and Professor Paul Lauterbur at the University of Illinois. Many colleagues have contributed to the author's work, especially Professors Jerald Moon at the University of Iowa, Bradley Sutton at the University of Illinois, Jamie Perry at East Carolina University, and Youkyung Bae at the Ohio State University. The strength of these researchers and their students bodes well for future advances in knowledge in this important area of speech science.

Background:Educating trainees during cardiology fellowship is a process in constant evolution, with program directors regularly adapting to increasing demands and regulations as they strive to prepare graduates for practice in today’s healthcare environment.Methods and Results:In a 10-year follow-up to a previous manuscript regarding fellowship education, we reviewed the literature regarding the most topical issues facing training programs in 2010, describing our approach at The Ohio State University.Conclusion:In the midst of challenges posed by the increasing complexity of training requirements and documentation, work hour restrictions, and the new definitions of quality and safety, we propose methods of curricula revision and collaboration that may serve as an example to other medical centers.
