Medical systems incorporate modern computational intelligence in healthcare. Machine learning techniques are applied to predict the onset and reoccurrence of the disease, identify biomarkers for survivability analysis depending upon certain health conditions of the patient. Early prediction of diseases like diabetes is essential as the number of diabetic patients of all age groups is increasing rapidly. To identify underlying reasons for the onset of diabetes in its early stage has become a challenging task for medical practitioners. Continuously increasing diabetic patient data has necessitated for the applications of efficient machine learning algorithms, which learns from the trends of the underlying data and recognizes the critical conditions in patients. In this article, an ensemble-based framework named e DiaPredict is proposed. It uses ensemble modeling, which includes an ensemble of different machine learning algorithms comprising XGBoost, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, Neural Network, and Decision tree to predict diabetes status among patients. The performance of eDiaPredict has been evaluated using various performance parameters like accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, Gini Index, precision, area under curve, area under convex hull, minimum error rate, and minimum weighted coefficient. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is shown by its application on the PIMA Indian diabetes dataset wherein an accuracy of 95% is achieved.

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 %.

The particulate matter air pollutant of diameter less than 10 micrometers (PM[Formula: see text]), a category of pollutants including solid and liquid particles, can be a health hazard for several reasons: it can harm lung tissues and throat, aggravate asthma and increase respiratory illness. Accurate prediction models of PM[Formula: see text] concentrations are essential for proper management, control, and making public warning strategies. Therefore, machine learning techniques have the capability to develop methods or tools that can be used to discover unseen patterns from given data to solve a particular task or problem. The chance theory has advanced concepts pertinent to treat cases where both randomness and fuzziness play simultaneous roles at one time. The main objective is to study the modification of a single machine learning algorithm — support vector machine (SVM) — applying the chance weight of the target variable, based on the chance theory, to the corresponding dataset point to be superior to the ensemble machine learning algorithms. The results of this study are outperforming of the SVM algorithms when modifying and combining with the right theory/technique, especially the chance theory over other modern ensemble learning algorithms.

This paper explores the potential of machine learning algorithms for weed and crop classification from UAV images. The identification of weeds in crops is a challenging task that has been addressed through orthomosaicing of images, feature extraction and labelling of images to train machine learning algorithms. In this paper, the performances of several machine learning algorithms, random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM) and k-nearest neighbours (KNN), are analysed to detect weeds using UAV images collected from a chilli crop field located in Australia. The evaluation metrics used in the comparison of performance were accuracy, precision, recall, false positive rate and kappa coefficient. MATLAB is used for simulating the machine learning algorithms; and the achieved weed detection accuracies are 96% using RF, 94% using SVM and 63% using KNN. Based on this study, RF and SVM algorithms are efficient and practical to use, and can be implemented easily for detecting weed from UAV images.

The increased credit card defaulters have forced the companies to think carefully before the approval of credit applications. Credit card companies usually use their judgment to determine whether a credit card should be issued to the customer satisfying certain criteria. Some machine learning algorithms have also been used to support the decision. The main objective of this paper is to build a deep learning model based on the UCI (University of California, Irvine) data sets, which can support the credit card approval decision. Secondly, the performance of the built model is compared with the other two traditional machine learning algorithms: logistic regression (LR) and support vector machine (SVM). Our results show that the overall performance of our deep learning model is slightly better than that of the other two models.

Advancement in technology has helped people to live a long and better life. But the increased life expectancy has also elevated the risk of age related disorders, especially the neurodegenerative disorders. Alzheimer’s is one such neurodegenerative disorder, which is also the leading contributor towards dementia in elderly people. Despite of extensive research in this field, scientists have failed to find a cure for the disease till date. This makes early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s very crucial so as to delay its progression and improve the condition of the patient. Various techniques are being employed for diagnosing Alzheimer’s which include neuropsychological tests, medical imaging, blood based biomarkers, etc. Apart from this, various machine learning algorithms have been employed so far to diagnose Alzheimer’s in its early stages. In the current research, authors compared the performance of various machine learning techniques i.e., Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN), Naïve Bayes (NB), Support Vector Machines (SVM), Decision Trees (DT), Random Forests (RF) and Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP) on Alzheimer’s dataset. This paper experimentally demonstrated that normalization exhibits a predominant role in enhancing the efficiency of some machine learning algorithms. Therefore it becomes imperative to choose the algorithms as per the available data. In this paper, the efficiency of the given machine learning methods was compared in terms of accuracy and f1-score. Naïve Bayes gave a better overall performance for both accuracy and f1-score and it also remained unaffected with the normalization of data along with LDA, DT and RF. Whereas KNN, SVM and MLP showed a drastic (17% to 86%) improvement in the performance when they are given normalized data as compared to un-normalized data from Alzheimer’s dataset.

Breast cancer represents one of the diseases that make a high number of deaths every year. It is the most common type of all cancers and the main cause of women's deaths worldwide. Classification and data mining methods are an effective way to classify data. Especially in medical field, where those methods are widely used in diagnosis and analysis to make decisions. Here, a common misconception is that predictive analytics and machine learning are the same thing where in predictive analysis is a statistical learning and machine learning is pattern recognition and explores the notion that algorithms can learn from and make predictions on data. In this paper, we are addressing the problem of predictive analysis by adding machine learning techniques for better prediction of breast cancer. In this, a performance comparison between different machine learning algorithms: Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Tree (C4.5), Naive Bayes (NB) and k Nearest Neighbors (k-NN) on the Wisconsin Breast Cancer (original) datasets is conducted. The main objective is to assess the correctness in classifying data with respect to efficiency and effectiveness of hybrid algorithm in terms of accuracy, precision, sensitivity and specificity.


Artificial intelligence is the technology that lets a machine mimic the thinking ability of a human being. Machine learning is the subset of AI, that makes this machine exhibit human behavior by making it learn from the known data, without the need of explicitly programming it.
