Accurate and timely collection of urban land use and land cover information is crucial for many aspects of urban development and environment protection. Very high-resolution (VHR) remote sensing images have made it possible to detect and distinguish detailed information on the ground. While abundant texture information and limited spectral channels of VHR images will lead to the increase of intraclass variance and the decrease of the interclass variance. Substantial studies on pixel-based classification algorithms revealed that there were some limitations on land cover information extraction with VHR remote sensing imagery when applying the conventional pixel-based classifiers. Aiming at evaluating the advantages of classifier ensemble strategies and object-based image analysis (OBIA) method for VHR satellite data classification under complex urban area, we present an approach-integrated multiscale segmentation OBIA and a mature classifier ensemble method named random forest. The framework was tested on Chinese GaoFen-1 (GF-1), and GF-2 VHR remotely sensed data over the central business district (CBD) of Zhengzhou metropolitan. Process flow of the proposed framework including data fusion, multiscale image segmentation, best optimal segmentation scale evaluation, multivariance texture feature extraction, random forest ensemble learning classifier construction, accuracy assessment, and time consumption. Advantages of the proposed framework were compared and discussed with several mature state-of-art machine learning algorithms such as the k -nearest neighbor (KNN), support vector machine (SVM), and decision tree classifier (DTC). Experimental results showed that the OA of the proposed method is up to 99.29% and 98.98% for the GF-1 dataset and GF-2 dataset, respectively. And the OA is increased by 26.89%, 11.79%, 11.89%, and 4.26% compared with the traditional machine learning algorithms such as the decision tree classifier (DTC), support vector machine (SVM), k -nearest neighbor (KNN), and random forest (RF) on the test of the GF-1 dataset; OA increased by 32.31%, 13.48%, 9.77%, and 7.72% for the GF-2 dataset. In terms of time consuming, by rough statistic, OBIA-RF spends 223.55 s, SVM spends 403.57 s, KNN spends 86.93 s, and DT spends 0.61 s on average of the GF-1 and GF-2 datasets. Taking the account classification accuracy and running time, the proposed method has good ability of generalization and robustness for complex urban surface classification with high-resolution remotely sensed data.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacillus included among the six "ESKAPE" microbial species with an outstanding ability to "escape" currently used antibiotics and developing new antibiotics against it is of the highest priority. Whereas minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values against Pseudomonas aeruginosa have been used previously for QSAR model development, disk diffusion results (inhibition zones) have not been apparently used for this purpose in the literature, and we decided to explore their use in this sense. We developed multiple QSAR methods using several machine learning algorithms (Support vector classifier, K Nearest Neighbors, Random Forest Classifier, Decision Tree Classifier, AdaBoost Classifier, Logistic Regression, and Naive Bayes Classifier). The main descriptors used in building the models belonged to the families of adjacency matrix, constitutional descriptors, first highest eigenvalue of Burden matrix, centered Moreau-Broto autocorrelation, and averaged and centered Moreau-Broto autocorrelation descriptors. A total of 32 models were built, of which 28 were selected and stacked to create a meta-model. In terms of balanced accuracy, the best performance was provided by KNN, SVM and AdaBoost algorithms, but the ensemble method had slightly superior results in nested cross-validation.

We attempt to predict the accidental fall of human beings due to sudden abnormal changes in their health parameters such as blood pressure, heart rate, and sugar level. In medical terminology, this problem is known as Syncope. The primary motivation is to prevent such falls by predicting abnormal changes in these health parameters that might trigger a sudden fall. We apply various machine learning algorithms such as logistic regression, a decision tree classifier, a random forest classifier, K-Nearest Neighbours (KNN), a support vector machine, and a naive Bayes classifier on a relevant dataset and verify our results with the cross-validation method. We observe that the KNN algorithm provides the best accuracy in predicting such a fall. However, the accuracy results of some other algorithms are also very close. Thus, we move one step further and propose an ensemble model, Majority Voting, which aggregates the prediction results of multiple machine learning algorithms and finally indicates the probability of a fall that corresponds to a particular human being. The proposed ensemble algorithm yields 87.42% accuracy, which is greater than the accuracy provided by the KNN algorithm.

Since Academic institutions contain huge volume of data regarding students such as academic scores, scores in co and extracurricular activities, family annual income, family background and other supporting documents, predicting individual students performance in all aspects manually is a difficult task. The proposed work uses data mining techniques to identify students who are eligible for scholarships and other benefits. Students are classified into different categories by means of academic, behavior, extra and co-curricular activities. Machine Learning algorithms such as Naive Bayes, Decision Tree Classifier and Support Vector Machine are used for predicting the performance of the student. With the help of this proposed model parents and instructors can monitor student’s performance and they can also provide essential technical and moral support. Also this helps in providing academic scholarship and training to the students to support them financially and to enrich their knowledge. It suggests the Academic Institutions to organize induction or training programmes at the beginning of the semester. Technical training, motivational talks, Yoga, etc are organized by the institutions by keeping in mind of students physical and mental health. Considering the e-learning platforms huge volumes of data and plethora of information are generated. In this work, various learning models are constructed and their accuracies are compared to analyse which algorithm out-performs.

Regular inspection of railway track health is crucial for maintaining safe and reliable train operations. Factors, such as cracks, ballast issues, rail discontinuity, loose nuts and bolts, burnt wheels, superelevation, and misalignment developed on the rails due to non-maintenance, pre-emptive investigations and delayed detection, pose a grave danger and threats to the safe operation of rail transport. The traditional procedure of manually inspecting the rail track using a railway cart is both inefficient and prone to human error and biases. In a country like Pakistan where train accidents have taken many lives, it is not unusual to automate such approaches to avoid such accidents and save countless lives. This study aims at enhancing the traditional railway cart system to address these issues by introducing an automatic railway track fault detection system using acoustic analysis. In this regard, this study makes two important contributions: data collection on Pakistan railway tracks using acoustic signals and the application of various classification techniques to the collected data. Initially, three types of tracks are considered, including normal track, wheel burnt and superelevation, due to their common occurrence. Several well-known machine learning algorithms are applied such as support vector machines, logistic regression, random forest and decision tree classifier, in addition to deep learning models like multilayer perceptron and convolutional neural networks. Results suggest that acoustic data can help determine the track faults successfully. Results indicate that the best results are obtained by RF and DT with an accuracy of 97%.

A programming language is a computer language developers use to develop software programs, scripts, or other sets of instruction for computers to execute. It is difficult to determine which programming language is widely used. In our work, I have analyzed and compared the classification results of various machine learning models and find out which programming language is widely used by developers. I have used Support Vector Machine (SVM), K neighbor classifier (KNN),Decision Tree Classifier(CART) for our comparative study. My task is to analyze different data and to classify them for the efficiency of each algorithm in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 Score. My best accuracy was 94.29% percent which was found using SVM. These techniques are coded in python and executed in Jupyter NoteBook, the Scientific Python Development Environment. Our experiments have shown that SVM is the best for predictive analysis and from our study that SVM is the well-suited algorithm for the prediction of the most widely used programming language.

The Marina area represents an official new gateway of entry to Egypt and the development of infrastructure is proceeding rapidly in this region. The objective of this research is to obtain building data by means of automated extraction from Pléiades satellite images. This is due to the need for efficient mapping and updating of geodatabases for urban planning and touristic development. It compares the performance of random forest algorithm to other classifiers like maximum likelihood, support vector machines, and backpropagation neural networks over the well-organized buildings which appeared in the satellite images. Images were subsequently classified into two classes: buildings and non-buildings. In addition, basic morphological operations such as opening and closing were used to enhance the smoothness and connectedness of the classified imagery.The overall accuracy for random forest, maximum likelihood, support vector machines, and backpropagation were 97%, 95%, 93% and 92% respectively. It was found that random forest was the best option, followed by maximum likelihood, while the least effective was the backpropagation neural network. The completeness and correctness of the detected buildings were evaluated. Experiments confirmed that the four classification methods can effectively and accurately detect 100% of buildings from very high-resolution images. It is encouraged to use machine learning algorithms for object detection and extraction from very high-resolution images.

The Internet is used practically everywhere in today's digital environment. With the increased use of the Internet comes an increase in the number of threats. DDoS attacks are one of the most popular types of cyber-attacks nowadays. With the fast advancement of technology, the harm caused by DDoS attacks has grown increasingly severe. Because DDoS attacks may readily modify the ports/protocols utilized or how they function, the basic features of these attacks must be examined. Machine learning approaches have also been used extensively in intrusion detection research. Still, it is unclear what features are applicable and which approach would be better suited for detection. With this in mind, the research presents a machine learning-based DDoS attack detection approach. To train the attack detection model, we employ four Machine Learning algorithms: Decision Tree classifier (ID3), k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN), Logistic Regression, and Random Forest classifier. The results of our experiments show that the Random Forest classifier is more accurate in recognizing attacks.
