This paper aims at developing new theory-driven biomarkers by implementing and evaluating novel techniques from resting-state scans that can be used in relapse prediction for nicotine-dependent patients and future treatment efficacy. Two classes of patients were studied. One class took the drug N-acetylcysteine and the other class took a placebo. Then, the patients underwent a double-blind smoking cessation treatment and the resting-state fMRI scans of their brains before and after treatment were recorded. The scientific research goal of this study was to interpret the fMRI connectivity maps based on machine learning algorithms to predict the patient who will relapse and the one who will not. In this regard, the feature matrix was extracted from the image slices of brain employing voxel selection schemes and data reduction algorithms. Then, the feature matrix was fed into the machine learning classifiers including optimized CART decision tree and Naive-Bayes classifier with standard and optimized implementation employing 10-fold cross-validation. Out of all the data reduction techniques and the machine learning algorithms employed, the best accuracy was obtained using the singular value decomposition along with the optimized Naive-Bayes classifier. This gave an accuracy of 93% with sensitivity-specificity of 99% which suggests that the relapse in nicotine-dependent patients can be predicted based on the resting-state fMRI images. The use of these approaches may result in clinical applications in the future.

Diabetes is a most common disease that occurs to most of the humans now a day. The predictions for this disease are proposed through machine learning techniques. Through this method the risk factors of this disease are identified and can be prevented from increasing. Early prediction in such disease can be controlled and save human’s life. For the early predictions of this disease we collect data set having 8 attributes diabetic of 200 patients. The patients’ sugar level in the body is tested by the features of patient’s glucose content in the body and according to the age. The main Machine learning algorithms are Support vector machine (SVM), naive bayes (NB), K nearest neighbor (KNN) and Decision Tree (DT). In the exiting the Naive Bayes the accuracy levels are 66% but in the Decision tree the accuracy levels are 70 to 71%. The accuracy levels of the patients are not proper in range. But in XG boost classifiers even after the Naïve Bayes 74 Percentage and in Decision tree the accuracy levels are 89 to 90%. In the proposed system the accuracy ranges are shown properly and this is only used mostly. A dataset of 729 patients can be stored in Mongo DB and in that 129 patients repots are taken for the prediction purpose and the remaining are used for training. The training datasets are used for the prediction purposes.

COVID-19 is a community-acquired infection with symptoms that resemble those of influenza and bacterial pneumonia. Creating an infection control policy involving isolation, disinfection of surfaces, and identification of contagions is crucial in eradicating such pandemics. Incorporating social distancing could also help stop the spread of community-acquired infections like COVID-19. Social distancing entails maintaining certain distances between people and reducing the frequency of contact between people. Meanwhile, a significant increase in the development of different Internet of Things (IoT) devices has been seen together with cyber-physical systems that connect with physical environments. Machine learning is strengthening current technologies by adding new approaches to quickly and correctly solve problems utilizing this surge of available IoT devices. We propose a new approach using machine learning algorithms for monitoring the risk of COVID-19 in public areas. Extracted features from IoT sensors are used as input for several machine learning algorithms such as decision tree, neural network, naïve Bayes classifier, support vector machine, and random forest to predict the risks of the COVID-19 pandemic and calculate the risk probability of public places. This research aims to find vulnerable populations and reduce the impact of the disease on certain groups using machine learning models. We build a model to calculate and predict the risk factors of populated areas. This model generates automated alerts for security authorities in the case of any abnormal detection. Experimental results show that we have high accuracy with random forest of 97.32%, with decision tree of 94.50%, and with the naïve Bayes classifier of 99.37%. These algorithms indicate great potential for crowd risk prediction in public areas.

Medical health systems have been concentrating on artificial intelligence techniques for speedy diagnosis. However, the recording of health data in a standard form still requires attention so that machine learning can be more accurate and reliable by considering multiple features. The aim of this study is to develop a general framework for recording diagnostic data in an international standard format to facilitate prediction of disease diagnosis based on symptoms using machine learning algorithms. Efforts were made to ensure error-free data entry by developing a user-friendly interface. Furthermore, multiple machine learning algorithms including Decision Tree, Random Forest, Naive Bayes and Neural Network algorithms were used to analyze patient data based on multiple features, including age, illness history and clinical observations. This data was formatted according to structured hierarchies designed by medical experts, whereas diagnosis was made as per the ICD-10 coding developed by the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Furthermore, the system is designed to evolve through self-learning by adding new classifications for both diagnosis and symptoms. The classification results from tree-based methods demonstrated that the proposed framework performs satisfactorily, given a sufficient amount of data. Owing to a structured data arrangement, the random forest and decision tree algorithms’ prediction rate is more than 90% as compared to more complex methods such as neural networks and the naïve Bayes algorithm.

Presynaptic and postsynaptic neurotoxins are two types of neurotoxins from venomous animals and functionally important molecules in the neurosciences; however, their experimental characterization is difficult, time-consuming, and costly. Therefore, bioinformatics tools that can identify presynaptic and postsynaptic neurotoxins would be very useful for understanding their functions and mechanisms. In this study, we propose Pippin, a novel machine learning-based method that allows users to rapidly and accurately identify these two types of neurotoxins. Pippin was developed using the random forest (RF) algorithm and evaluated based on an up-to-date dataset. A variety of sequence and motif features were combined, and a two-step feature-selection algorithm was employed to characterize the optimal feature subset for presynaptic and postsynaptic neurotoxin prediction. Extensive benchmark tests illustrate that Pippin significantly improved predictive performance as compared with six other commonly used machine-learning algorithms, including the naïve Bayes classifier, Multinomial Naïve Bayes classifier (MNBC), AdaBoost, Bagging, [Formula: see text]-nearest neighbors, and XGBoost. Additionally, we developed an online webserver for Pippin to facilitate public use. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first webserver for presynaptic and postsynaptic neurotoxin prediction.

Determining the machine learning (ML) technique that performs best on new datasets is an important factor in the design of effective anomaly-based intrusion detection systems. This study therefore evaluated four machine learning algorithms (naive Bayes, k-nearest neighbors, decision tree, and random forest) on UNSW-NB 15 dataset for intrusion detection. The experiment results showed that random forest and decision tree classifiers are effective for detecting intrusion. Random forest had the highest weighted average accuracy of 89.66% and a mean absolute error (MAE) value of 0.0252 whereas decision tree recorded 89.20% and 0.0242, respectively. Naive Bayes classifier had the worst results on the dataset with 56.43% accuracy and a MAE of 0.0867. However, contrary to existing knowledge, naïve Bayes was observed to be potent in classifying backdoor attacks. Observably, naïve Bayes performed relatively well in classes where tree-based classifiers demonstrated abysmal performance.
