Purpose This paper aims to propose a machine learning-based automatic labeling methodology for chemical tanker activities that can be applied to any port with any number of active tankers and the identification of important predictors. The methodology can be applied to any type of activity tracking that is based on automatically generated geospatial data. Design/methodology/approach The proposed methodology uses three machine learning algorithms (artificial neural networks, support vector machines (SVMs) and random forest) along with information fusion (IF)-based sensitivity analysis to classify chemical tanker activities. The data set is split into training and test data based on vessels, with two vessels in the training data and one in the test data set. Important predictors were identified using a receiver operating characteristic comparative approach, and overall variable importance was calculated using IF from the top models. Findings Results show that an SVM model has the best balance between sensitivity and specificity, at 93.5% and 91.4%, respectively. Speed, acceleration and change in the course on the ground for the vessels are identified as the most important predictors for classifying vessel activity. Research limitations/implications The study evaluates the vessel movements waiting between different terminals in the same port, but not their movements between different ports for their tank-cleaning activities. Practical implications The findings in this study can be used by port authorities, shipping companies, vessel operators and other stakeholders for decision support, performance tracking, as well as for automated alerts. Originality/value This analysis makes original contributions to the existing literature by defining and demonstrating a methodology that can automatically label vehicle activity based on location data and identify certain characteristics of the activity by finding important location-based predictors that effectively classify the activity status.

Leukemia is a fatal cancer and has two main types: Acute and chronic. Each type has two more subtypes: Lymphoid and myeloid. Hence, in total, there are four subtypes of leukemia. This study proposes a new approach for diagnosis of all subtypes of leukemia from microscopic blood cell images using convolutional neural networks (CNN), which requires a large training data set. Therefore, we also investigated the effects of data augmentation for an increasing number of training samples synthetically. We used two publicly available leukemia data sources: ALL-IDB and ASH Image Bank. Next, we applied seven different image transformation techniques as data augmentation. We designed a CNN architecture capable of recognizing all subtypes of leukemia. Besides, we also explored other well-known machine learning algorithms such as naive Bayes, support vector machine, k-nearest neighbor, and decision tree. To evaluate our approach, we set up a set of experiments and used 5-fold cross-validation. The results we obtained from experiments showed that our CNN model performance has 88.25% and 81.74% accuracy, in leukemia versus healthy and multiclass classification of all subtypes, respectively. Finally, we also showed that the CNN model has a better performance than other wellknown machine learning algorithms.

The health of a rotating electric machine can be evaluated by monitoring electrical and mechanical parameters. As more information is available, it easier can become the diagnosis of the machine operational condition. We built a laboratory test bench to study rotor unbalance issues according to ISO standards. Using the electric stator current harmonic analysis, this paper presents a comparison study among Support-Vector Machines, Decision Tree classifies, and One-vs-One strategy to identify rotor unbalance kind and severity problem – a nonlinear multiclass task. Moreover, we propose a methodology to update the classifier for dealing better with changes produced by environmental variations and natural machinery usage. The adaptative update means to update the training data set with an amount of recent data, saving the entire original historical data. It is relevant for engineering maintenance. Our results show that the current signature analysis is appropriate to identify the type and severity of the rotor unbalance problem. Moreover, we show that machine learning techniques can be effective for an industrial application.

Per the statistics received from BBC, data varies for every earthquake occurred till date. Approximately, up to thousands are dead, about 50,000 are injured, around 1-3 Million are dislocated, while a significant amount go missing and homeless. Almost 100% structural damage is experienced. It also affects the economic loss, varying from 10 to 16 million dollars. A magnitude corresponding to 5 and above is classified as deadliest. The most life-threatening earthquake occurred till date took place in Indonesia where about 3 million were dead, 1-2 million were injured and the structural damage accounted to 100%. Hence, the consequences of earthquake are devastating and are not limited to loss and damage of living as well as nonliving, but it also causes significant amount of change-from surrounding and lifestyle to economic. Every such parameter desiderates into forecasting earthquake. A couple of minutes’ notice and individuals can act to shield themselves from damage and demise; can decrease harm and monetary misfortunes, and property, characteristic assets can be secured. In current scenario, an accurate forecaster is designed and developed, a system that will forecast the catastrophe. It focuses on detecting early signs of earthquake by using machine learning algorithms. System is entitled to basic steps of developing learning systems along with life cycle of data science. Data-sets for Indian sub-continental along with rest of the World are collected from government sources. Pre-processing of data is followed by construction of stacking model that combines Random Forest and Support Vector Machine Algorithms. Algorithms develop this mathematical model reliant on “training data-set”. Model looks for pattern that leads to catastrophe and adapt to it in its building, so as to settle on choices and forecasts without being expressly customized to play out the task. After forecast, we broadcast the message to government officials and across various platforms. The focus of information to obtain is keenly represented by the 3 factors – Time, Locality and Magnitude.

Purpose This paper aims to use different machine learning (ML) algorithms for the prediction of inverse kinematic solutions in parallel manipulators (PMs) to overcome the computational difficulties and approximations involved with the analytical methods. The results obtained from the ML algorithms and the Denavit–Hartenberg (DH) approach are compared with the experimental results to evaluate their performances. The study is performed on a novel 6-degree of freedom (DoF) PM that offers precise motions with a large workspace for the end effector. Design/methodology/approach The kinematic model for the proposed 3-PPSS PM is obtained using the modified DH approach and its inverse kinematic solutions are determined using the Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm. Various prediction algorithms such as the multiple linear regression, multi-variate polynomial regression, support vector, decision tree, random forest regression and multi-layer perceptron networks are applied to predict the inverse kinematic solutions for the manipulator. The data set required to train the network is generated experimentally by recording the poses of the end effector for different instantaneous positions of the slider using the concept of ArUco markers. Findings This paper fully demonstrates the possibility to use artificial intelligence for the prediction of inverse kinematic solutions especially for complex geometries. Originality/value As the analytical models derived from the geometrical method, Screw theory or numerical techniques involve approximations and needs more computational power, it is not advisable for real-time control of the manipulator. In addition, the data set obtained from the derived inverse kinematic equations to train the network may lead to inaccuracies in the predicted results. This error may generate significant deviations in the end-effector position from the desired position. The present work attempts to resolve this issue by proposing a camera-based approach that uses ArUco library and ML algorithms to create the data set experimentally and predict the inverse kinematic solutions accurately.

Abstract AI approaches include machine learning algorithms in which models are trained from existing data to predict the behavior of the system for previously unseen cases. Recent studies at the Erosion/Corrosion Research Center (E/CRC) have shown that these methods can be quite effective in predicting erosion. However, these methods are not widely used in the engineering industries due to the lack of work and information in this area. Moreover, in most of the available literature, the reported models and results have not been rigorously tested. This fact suggests that these models cannot be fully trusted for the applications for which they are trained. Therefore, in this study three machine learning models, including Elastic Net, Random Forest and Support Vector Machine (SVM), are utilized to increase the confidence in these tools. First, these models are trained with a training data set. Next, the model hyper-parameters are optimized by using nested cross validation. Finally, the results are verified with a test data set. This process is repeated several times to assure the accuracy of the results. In order to be able to predict the erosion under different conditions with these three models, six main variables are considered in the training data set. These variables include material hardness, pipe diameter, particle size, liquid viscosity, liquid superficial velocity, and gas superficial velocity. All three studied models show good prediction performances. The Random Forest and SVM approaches, however, show slightly better results compared to Elastic Net. The performance of these models is compared to both CFD erosion simulation results and also to Sand Production Pipe Saver (SPPS) results, a mechanistic erosion prediction software developed at the E/CRC. The comparison shows SVM prediction has a better match with both CFD and SPPS. The application of AI model to determine the uncertainty of calculated erosion is also discussed.

This study aims to implement a machine learning algorithm in detecting fraud based on historical data set in a retail consumer financing company. The outcome of machine learning is used as samples for the fraud detection team. Data analysis is performed through data processing, feature selection, hold-on methods, and accuracy testing. There are five machine learning methods applied in this study: Logistic Regression, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Decision Tree, Random Forest, and Support Vector Machine (SVM). Historical data are divided into two groups: training data and test data. The results show that the Random Forest algorithm has the highest accuracy with a training score of 0.994999 and a test score of 0.745437. This means that the Random Forest algorithm is the most accurate method for detecting fraud. Further research is suggested to add more predictor variables to increase the accuracy value and apply this method to different financial institutions and different industries.

Purpose This paper aims to present a framework to detect phishing websites using stacking model. Phishing is a type of fraud to access users’ credentials. The attackers access users’ personal and sensitive information for monetary purposes. Phishing affects diverse fields, such as e-commerce, online business, banking and digital marketing, and is ordinarily carried out by sending spam emails and developing identical websites resembling the original websites. As people surf the targeted website, the phishers hijack their personal information. Design/methodology/approach Features of phishing data set are analysed by using feature selection techniques including information gain, gain ratio, Relief-F and recursive feature elimination (RFE) for feature selection. Two features are proposed combining the strongest and weakest attributes. Principal component analysis with diverse machine learning algorithms including (random forest [RF], neural network [NN], bagging, support vector machine, Naïve Bayes and k-nearest neighbour) is applied on proposed and remaining features. Afterwards, two stacking models: Stacking1 (RF + NN + Bagging) and Stacking2 (kNN + RF + Bagging) are applied by combining highest scoring classifiers to improve the classification accuracy. Findings The proposed features played an important role in improving the accuracy of all the classifiers. The results show that RFE plays an important role to remove the least important feature from the data set. Furthermore, Stacking1 (RF + NN + Bagging) outperformed all other classifiers in terms of classification accuracy to detect phishing website with 97.4% accuracy. Originality/value This research is novel in this regard that no previous research focusses on using feed forward NN and ensemble learners for detecting phishing websites.

Due to the extensive drilling performed every year in exploration campaigns for the discovery and evaluation of ore deposits, drill-core mapping is becoming an essential step. While valuable mineralogical information is extracted during core logging by on-site geologists, the process is time consuming and dependent on the observer and individual background. Hyperspectral short-wave infrared (SWIR) data is used in the mining industry as a tool to complement traditional logging techniques and to provide a rapid and non-invasive analytical method for mineralogical characterization. Additionally, Scanning Electron Microscopy-based image analyses using a Mineral Liberation Analyser (SEM-MLA) provide exhaustive high-resolution mineralogical maps, but can only be performed on small areas of the drill-cores. We propose to use machine learning algorithms to combine the two data types and upscale the quantitative SEM-MLA mineralogical data to drill-core scale. This way, quasi-quantitative maps over entire drill-core samples are obtained. Our upscaling approach increases result transparency and reproducibility by employing physical-based data acquisition (hyperspectral imaging) combined with mathematical models (machine learning). The procedure is tested on 5 drill-core samples with varying training data using random forests, support vector machines and neural network regression models. The obtained mineral abundance maps are further used for the extraction of mineralogical parameters such as mineral association.

Compressional and shear sonic traveltime logs (DTC and DTS, respectively) are crucial for subsurface characterization and seismic-well tie. However, these two logs are often missing or incomplete in many oil and gas wells. Therefore, many petrophysical and geophysical workflows include sonic log synthetization or pseudo-log generation based on multivariate regression or rock physics relations. Started on March 1, 2020, and concluded on May 7, 2020, the SPWLA PDDA SIG hosted a contest aiming to predict the DTC and DTS logs from seven “easy-to-acquire” conventional logs using machine-learning methods (GitHub, 2020). In the contest, a total number of 20,525 data points with half-foot resolution from three wells was collected to train regression models using machine-learning techniques. Each data point had seven features, consisting of the conventional “easy-to-acquire” logs: caliper, neutron porosity, gamma ray (GR), deep resistivity, medium resistivity, photoelectric factor, and bulk density, respectively, as well as two sonic logs (DTC and DTS) as the target. The separate data set of 11,089 samples from a fourth well was then used as the blind test data set. The prediction performance of the model was evaluated using root mean square error (RMSE) as the metric, shown in the equation below: RMSE=sqrt(1/2*1/m* [∑_(i=1)^m▒〖(〖DTC〗_pred^i-〖DTC〗_true^i)〗^2 + 〖(〖DTS〗_pred^i-〖DTS〗_true^i)〗^2 ] In the benchmark model, (Yu et al., 2020), we used a Random Forest regressor and conducted minimal preprocessing to the training data set; an RMSE score of 17.93 was achieved on the test data set. The top five models from the contest, on average, beat the performance of our benchmark model by 27% in the RMSE score. In the paper, we will review these five solutions, including preprocess techniques and different machine-learning models, including neural network, long short-term memory (LSTM), and ensemble trees. We found that data cleaning and clustering were critical for improving the performance in all models.

Abstract In this article, an innovative approach to perform the sentiment analysis (SA) has been presented. The proposed system handles the issues of Romanized or abbreviated text and spelling variations in the text to perform the sentiment analysis. The training data set of 3,000 movie reviews and tweets has been manually labeled by native speakers of Hindi in three classes, i.e. positive, negative, and neutral. The system uses WEKA (Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis) tool to convert these string data into numerical matrices and applies three machine learning techniques, i.e. Naive Bayes (NB), J48, and support vector machine (SVM). The proposed system has been tested on 100 movie reviews and tweets, and it has been observed that SVM has performed best in comparison to other classifiers, and it has an accuracy of 68% for movie reviews and 82% in case of tweets. The results of the proposed system are very promising and can be used in emerging applications like SA of product reviews and social media analysis. Additionally, the proposed system can be used in other cultural/social benefits like predicting/fighting human riots.
