Abstract PURPOSE To test the effectiveness of machine learning algorithms in distinguishing radiation necrosis (RN) from tumor progression (TP) using MRI radiomic features. METHODS Brain metastases were treated with SRS to a median dose of 18Gy. Lesions that showed evidence of progression on follow-up MRI were sampled surgically, and diagnoses confirmed by histopathology. Cases from 2 institutions were combined and randomly assigned for training (70%) and testing (30%). T1 post-contrast (T1c) and T2 fluid attenuated inversion recovery (T2 FLAIR) MRI were used for radiomic feature extraction (50 features each). Three subsets of radiomic features were obtained and tested: Signature #1 included 10 previously published features that correlated with diagnosis on T test; signature #2 and #3 included 5 and 12 features obtained through recursive elimination using random forest (RF) and support vector machine (SVM), respectively. Supervised machine learning models were trained using RF, SVM (radial kernel) and regularized discriminant analysis (RDA) algorithms based on all three radiomics signatures. Receiver operator characteristics (ROC) were compared between signatures and algorithms. RESULTS A total of 135 individual lesions (37 RN and 98 TP) were included. Signature #3 demonstrated the highest area under the curve in the training set (average AUC=0.98, vs 0.95 and 0.92 for signature #1 and #2), as well as the testing set (average AUC=0.83, vs 0.74 and 0.79 for signature #1 and #2). RF and SVM demonstrated similar performance in both training (average AUC 0.99-1) and testing datasets (average AUC 0.79-0.80) among all three signatures. Both RF and SVM were superior to RDA in performance (average training AUC 0.83, testing AUC 0.77). The greatest sensitivity (83%) and specificity (100%) in the testing set were achieved using signature #3 and SVM. CONCLUSION RF and SVM are effective in distinguishing RN from TP in a multi-institution dataset using radiomic signatures.

The Distributed Network Protocol (DNP3) is predominately used by the electric utility industry and, consequently, in smart grids. The Peekaboo attack was created to compromise DNP3 traffic, in which a man-in-the-middle on a communication link can capture and drop selected encrypted DNP3 messages by using support vector machine learning algorithms. The communication networks of smart grids are a important part of their infrastructure, so it is of critical importance to keep this communication secure and reliable. The main contribution of this paper is to compare the use of machine learning techniques to classify messages of the same protocol exchanged in encrypted tunnels. The study considers four simulated cases of encrypted DNP3 traffic scenarios and four different supervised machine learning algorithms: Decision tree, nearest-neighbor, support vector machine, and naive Bayes. The results obtained show that it is possible to extend a Peekaboo attack over multiple substations, using a decision tree learning algorithm, and to gather significant information from a system that communicates using encrypted DNP3 traffic.

An effective process monitoring strategy is a requirement for meeting the challenges posed by increasingly complex products and manufacturing processes. To address these needs, this study investigates a comprehensive scheme based on classical machine learning methods, deep learning algorithms, and feature extraction and selection techniques. In a first step, a novel deep learning architecture based on convolutional neural networks (CNN) and gated recurrent units (GRU) is introduced to predict the local weld quality based on mid-wave infrared (MWIR) and near-infrared (NIR) image data. The developed technology is used to discover critical welding defects including lack of fusion (false friends), sagging and lack of penetration, and geometric deviations of the weld seam. Additional work is conducted to investigate the significance of various geometrical, statistical, and spatio-temporal features extracted from the keyhole and weld pool regions. Furthermore, the performance of the proposed deep learning architecture is compared to that of classical supervised machine learning algorithms, such as multi-layer perceptron (MLP), logistic regression (LogReg), support vector machines (SVM), decision trees (DT), random forest (RF) and k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN). Optimal hyperparameters for each algorithm are determined by an extensive grid search. Ultimately, the three best classification models are combined into an ensemble classifier that yields the highest detection rates and achieves the most robust estimation of welding defects among all classifiers studied, which is validated on previously unknown welding trials.


The advancement in cyber-attack technologies have ushered in various new attacks which are difficult to detect using traditional intrusion detection systems (IDS).Existing IDS are trained to detect known patterns because of which newer attacks bypass the current IDS and go undetected. In this paper, a two level framework is proposed which can be used to detect unknown new attacks using machine learning techniques. In the first level the known types of classes for attacks are determined using supervised machine learning algorithms such as Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Neural networks (NN). The second level uses unsupervised machine learning algorithms such as K-means. The experimentation is carried out with four models with NSL- KDD dataset in Openstack cloud environment. The Model with Support Vector Machine for supervised machine learning, Gradual Feature Reduction (GFR) for feature selection and K-means for unsupervised algorithm provided the optimum efficiency of 94.56 %.

Agriculture sector is recognized as the backbone of the Indian economy that plays a crucial role in the growth of the nation’s economy. It imparts on weather and other environmental aspects. Some of the factors on which agriculture is reliant are Soil, climate, flooding, fertilizers, temperature, precipitation, crops, insecticides, and herb. The soil fertility is dependent on these factors and hence difficult to predict. However, the Agriculture sector in India is facing the severe problem of increasing crop productivity. Farmers lack the essential knowledge of nutrient content of the soil, selection of crop best suited for the soil and they also lack efficient methods for predicting crop well in advance so that appropriate methods have been used to improve crop productivity. This paper presents different Supervised Machine Learning Algorithms such as Decision tree, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM) to predict the fertility of soil based on macro-nutrients and micro-nutrients status found in the dataset. Supervised Machine Learning algorithms are applied on the training dataset and are tested with the test dataset, and the implementation of these algorithms is done using R Tool. The performance analysis of these algorithms is done using different evaluation metrics like mean absolute error, cross-validation, and accuracy. Result analysis shows that the Decision tree is produced the best accuracy of 99% with a very less mean square error (MSE) rate.

Road surface imperfections and aberrations generate shocks causing vehicles to sustain structural fatigue and functional defects, driver and passenger discomfort, injuries, and damage to freight. The harmful effect of shocks can be mitigated at different levels, for example, by improving road surfaces, vehicle suspension and protective packaging of freight. The efficiency of these methods partly depends on the identification and characterisation of the shocks. An assessment of four machine learning algorithms (Classifiers) that can be used to identify shocks produced on different roads and test tracks is presented in this paper. The algorithms were trained using synthetic signals. These were created from a model made from acceleration measurements on a test vehicle. The trained Classifiers were assessed on different measurement signals made on the same vehicle. The results show that the Support Vector Machine detection algorithm used in conjunction with a Gaussian Kernel Transform can accurately detect shocks generated on the test track with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.89 and a Pseudo Energy Ratio Fall-Out (PERFO) of 8%.

If the retinal images show evidences of abnormalities such as change in volume, diameter, and unusual spots in the retina, then there is a positive correlation to the diabetic progress. Mathematical and statistical theories behind the machine learning algorithms are powerful enough to detect signs of diabetes through retinal images. Several machine learning algorithms: Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine, Random Forest, and Neural Networks were applied to predict whether images contain signs of diabetic retinopathy or not. After building the models, the computed results of these algorithms were compared by confusion matrixes, receiver operating characteristic curves, and Precision-Recall curves. The performance of the Support Vector Machine algorithm was the best since it had the highest true-positive rate, area under the curve for ROC curve, and area under the curve for Precision-Recall curve. This conclusion shows that the most complex algorithms doesn’t always give the best performance, the final accuracy also depends on the dataset. For this dataset of retinal imaging, the Support Vector Machine algorithm achieved the best results. Detecting signs of diabetic retinopathy is helpful for detecting for diabetes since more than 60% of patients with diabetes have signs of diabetic retinopathy. Machine learning algorithms can speed up the process and improve the accuracy of diagnosis. When the method is reliable enough, it can be utilized in diabetes diagnosis directly in clinics. Current methods require going on diets and taking blood samples, which could be very time consuming and inconvenient. Using machine learning algorithms is fast and noninvasive compared to the existing methods. The purpose of this research was to build an optimized model by machine learning algorithms that can improve the diagnosis accuracy and classification of patients at high risk of diabetes using retinal imaging.

In recent years, the world's population is increasingly demanding to predict the future with certainty, predicting the right information in any area is becoming a necessity. One of the ways to predict the future with certainty is to determine the possible future. In this sense, machine learning is a way to analyze huge datasets to make strong predictions or decisions. The main objective of this research work is to build a predictive model for evaluating students’ performance. Hence, the contributions are threefold. The first is to apply several supervised machine learning algorithms (i.e. ANCOVA, Logistic Regression, Support Vector Regression, Log-linear Regression, Decision Tree Regression, Random Forest Regression, and Partial Least Squares Regression) on our education dataset. The second purpose is to compare and evaluate algorithms used to create a predictive model based on various evaluation metrics. The last purpose is to determine the most important factors that influence the success or failure of the students. The experimental results showed that the Log-linear Regression provides a better prediction as well as the behavioral factors that influence students’ performance.

Abstract This paper addresses electric motor fault diagnosis using supervised machine learning classification. A total of 15 distinct fault types are classified and multilabel strategies are used to classify concurrent faults. we explored, developed, and compared the performance of different types of binary (fault/non-fault), multi-class (fault type) and multi-label (single fault versus combination fault) classifiers. To evaluate the effectiveness of fault identification and classification, we used different supervised machine learning methods, including Random forest classification, support vector machine and neural network classification. Through experiment, we compared these methods over 4 classification regimes and finally summarize the most suitable machine learning algorithms for different aspects of health diagnosis in traction motors area.

Abstract Background Supervised machine learning algorithms have been a dominant method in the data mining field. Disease prediction using health data has recently shown a potential application area for these methods. This study aims to identify the key trends among different types of supervised machine learning algorithms, and their performance and usage for disease risk prediction. Methods In this study, extensive research efforts were made to identify those studies that applied more than one supervised machine learning algorithm on single disease prediction. Two databases (i.e., Scopus and PubMed) were searched for different types of search items. Thus, we selected 48 articles in total for the comparison among variants supervised machine learning algorithms for disease prediction. Results We found that the Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm is applied most frequently (in 29 studies) followed by the Naïve Bayes algorithm (in 23 studies). However, the Random Forest (RF) algorithm showed superior accuracy comparatively. Of the 17 studies where it was applied, RF showed the highest accuracy in 9 of them, i.e., 53%. This was followed by SVM which topped in 41% of the studies it was considered. Conclusion This study provides a wide overview of the relative performance of different variants of supervised machine learning algorithms for disease prediction. This important information of relative performance can be used to aid researchers in the selection of an appropriate supervised machine learning algorithm for their studies.
