Nowadays, computer virus attacks are getting very advanced. New obfuscated computer virus created by computer virus writers will generate a new shape of computer virus automatically for every single iteration and download. This constantly evolving computer virus has caused significant threat to information security of computer users, organizations and even government. However, signature based detection technique which is used by the conventional anti-computer virus software in the market fails to identify it as signatures are unavailable. This research proposed an alternative approach to the traditional signature based detection method and investigated the use of machine learning technique for obfuscated computer virus detection. In this work, text strings are used and have been extracted from virus program codes as the features to generate a suitable classifier model that can correctly classify obfuscated virus files. Text string feature is used as it is informative and potentially only use small amount of memory space. Results show that unknown files can be correctly classified with 99.5% accuracy using SMO classifier model. Thus, it is believed that current computer virus defense can be strengthening through machine learning approach.

Ankle injuries may adversely increase the risk of injury to the joints of the lower extremity and can lead to various impairments in workplaces. The purpose of this study was to predict the ankle angles by developing a footwear pressure sensor and utilizing a machine learning technique. The footwear sensor was composed of six FSRs (force sensing resistors), a microcontroller and a Bluetooth LE chipset in a flexible substrate. Twenty-six subjects were tested in squat and stoop motions, which are common positions utilized when lifting objects from the floor and pose distinct risks to the lifter. The kNN (k-nearest neighbor) machine learning algorithm was used to create a representative model to predict the ankle angles. For the validation, a commercial IMU (inertial measurement unit) sensor system was used. The results showed that the proposed footwear pressure sensor could predict the ankle angles at more than 93% accuracy for squat and 87% accuracy for stoop motions. This study confirmed that the proposed plantar sensor system is a promising tool for the prediction of ankle angles and thus may be used to prevent potential injuries while lifting objects in workplaces.

The cold chain is crucial to ensure the quality and effectiveness of transported and stored medicines. For this, it is necessary to carry out the thermal mapping of routes for drugs transported between 15°C and 30°C, so that the most assertive decision can be taken without raising costs. This study aims to identify the main factors influencing the thermal mapping of pharmaceutical products in the cold chain and applying the machine learning technique. The method used for this systematic review is the Prisma, where the identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion stages were analyzed. After analyzing 75 articles, the result shows that only eight papers were consistent with the use of modeling in the medicine cold chain distribution. Thus, it can be concluded that there is an extensive field to be researched regarding the use of prediction algorithms in the cold chain of drugs and vaccines.

In computer vision and artificial intelligence, text recognition and analysis based on images play a key role in the text retrieving process. Enabling a machine learning technique to recognize handwritten characters of a specific language requires a standard dataset. Acceptable handwritten character datasets are available in many languages including English, Arabic, and many more. However, the lack of datasets for handwritten Pashto characters hinders the application of a suitable machine learning algorithm for recognizing useful insights. In order to address this issue, this study presents the first handwritten Pashto characters image dataset (HPCID) for the scientific research work. This dataset consists of fourteen thousand, seven hundred, and eighty-four samples—336 samples for each of the 44 characters in the Pashto character dataset. Such samples of handwritten characters are collected on an A4-sized paper from different students of Pashto Department in University of Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. On total, 336 students and faculty members contributed in developing the proposed database accumulation phase. This dataset contains multisize, multifont, and multistyle characters and of varying structures.

The internal structure and mechanics of the fibre materials, such as yarn or woven textile, are highly complex. Exploring the fibre structure is an essential step in material engineering either from the experimental or computational point of view. In this study, a new method to extract geometrical and morphological parameters of fibre structures is proposed. The method benefits from standard image analysis and machine learning technique to efficiently extract fibre segments from microcomputer tomography data. The proposed algorithm is tested on the yarn and woven textile materials with different resolution and quality. The developed method can extract the individual fibres with varying accuracy from 73-100% with processing time 2-5s on the tested samples.

Industrial practise typically applies pre-set original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) limits to turbomachinery online condition monitoring. However, aforementioned technique which considers sensor readings within range as normal state often get overlooked in the developments of degradation process. Thus, turbomachinery application in dire need of a responsive monitoring analysis in order to avoid machine breakdown before leading to a more disastrous event. A feasible machine learning algorithm consists of k-means and Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) is proposed to observe the existence of signal trend or anomaly over machine active period. The aim of the unsupervised k-means is to determine the number of clusters, k according to the total trend detected from the processed dataset. Next, the designated k is input into the supervised GMM algorithm to initialize the number of components. Experiment results showed that the k-means-GMM model set up not only capable of statistically define machine state conditions, but also yield a time-dependent clustering image in reflecting degradation severity, as a mean to achieve predictive maintenance.

<p>Reinforcement learning is considered as a machine learning technique that is anxious with software agents should behave in particular environment. Reinforcement learning (RL) is a division of deep learning concept that assists you to make best use of some part of the collective return. In this paper evolving reinforcement learning algorithms shows possible to learn a fresh and understable concept by using a graph representation and applying optimization methods from the auto machine learning society. In this observe, we stand for the loss function, it is used to optimize an agent’s parameter in excess of its knowledge, as an imputational graph, and use traditional evolution to develop a population of the imputational graphs over a set of uncomplicated guidance environments. These outcomes in gradually better RL algorithms and the exposed algorithms simplify to more multifaceted environments, even though with visual annotations.</p>

Humans are not very good at detecting deception. The problem is that there is currently no other particular way to distinguish fake opinions in a comments section than by resorting to poor human judgments. For years, most scholarly and industrial efforts have been directed at detecting fake consumer reviews of products or services. A technique for identifying deceptive opinions on social issues is largely underexplored and undeveloped. Inspired by the need for a reliable deceptive comment detection method, this study aims to develop an automated machine-learning technique capable of determining opinion trustworthiness in a comment section. In the process, we have created the first large-scale ground truth dataset consisting of 866 truthful and 869 deceptive comments on social issues. This is also one of the first attempts to detect comment deception in Asian languages (in Korean, specifically). The proposed machine-learning technique achieves nearly 81% accuracy in detecting untruthful opinions about social issues. This performance is quite consistent across issues and well beyond that of human judges.

Television white spaces (TVWSs) refer to the unused part of the spectrum under the very high frequency (VHF) and ultra-high frequency (UHF) bands. TVWS are frequencies under licenced primary users (PUs) that are not being used and are available for secondary users (SUs). There are several ways of implementing TVWS in communications, one of which is the use of TVWS database (TVWSDB). The primary purpose of TVWSDB is to protect PUs from interference with SUs. There are several geolocation databases available for this purpose. However, it is unclear if those databases have the prediction feature that gives TVWSDB the capability of decreasing the number of inquiries from SUs. With this in mind, the authors present a reinforcement learning-based TVWSDB. Reinforcement learning (RL) is a machine learning technique that focuses on what has been done based on mapping situations to actions to obtain the highest reward. The learning process was conducted by trying out the actions to gain the reward instead of being told what to do. The actions may directly affect the rewards and future rewards. Based on the results, this algorithm effectively searched the most optimal channel for the SUs in query with the minimum search duration. This paper presents the advantage of using a machine learning approach in TVWSDB with an accurate and faster-searching capability for the available TVWS channels intended for SUs.
