Handwritten digits recognition is an area of machine learning, in which a machine is trained to identify handwritten digits. One method of achieving this is with decision tree classification model. A decision tree classification is a machine learning approach that uses the predefined labels from the past known sets to determine or predict the classes of the future data sets where the class labels are unknown. In this paper we have used the standard kaggle digits dataset for recognition of handwritten digits using a decision tree classification approach. And we have evaluated the accuracy of the model against each digit from 0 to 9.

In this paper, we present a learning approach to coreference resolution of noun phrases in unrestricted text. The approach learns from a small, annotated corpus and the task includes resolving not just a certain type of noun phrase (e.g., pronouns) but rather general noun phrases. It also does not restrict the entity types of the noun phrases; that is, coreference is assigned whether they are of “organization,” “person,” or other types. We evaluate our approach on common data sets (namely, the MUC-6 and MUC-7 coreference corpora) and obtain encouraging results, indicating that on the general noun phrase coreference task, the learning approach holds promise and achieves accuracy comparable to that of nonlearning approaches. Our system is the first learning-based system that offers performance comparable to that of state-of-the-art nonlearning systems on these data sets.

Vibration-based continuous monitoring system for fault diagnosis of automobile hydraulic brake system is presented in this study. This study uses a machine learning approach for the fault diagnosis study. A hydraulic brake system test rig was fabricated. The vibration signals were acquired from the brake system under different simulated fault conditions using a piezoelectric transducer. The histogram features were extracted from the acquired vibration signals. The feature selection process was carried out using a decision tree. The selected features were classified using fuzzy unordered rule induction algorithm ( FURIA ) and Repeated Incremental Pruning to Produce Error Reduction ( RIPPER ) algorithm. The classification results of both algorithms for fault diagnosis of a hydraulic brake system were presented. Compared to RIPPER and J48 decision tree, the FURIA performs better and produced 98.73 % as the classification accuracy.

<p>Detect, locate and characterize eruptions in real-time is fundamental to monitor volcanic activity. Here we present an automatic system able to discover and identify the main types of eruptive activities by exploiting infrared images acquired by the thermal cameras installed around Mount Etna volcano. The system, which employs the machine learning approach, is based on a decision tree tool and a bag of words-based classifier. The decision tree provides information on the visibility level of the monitored area, while the bag of words-based classifiers detects the onset of the eruptive activity and recognize the eruption type among either explosion and/or lava flow or plume. Thus, applied to each image of all thermal cameras over Etna in real-time, the proposed system provides two outputs, namely the visibility level and the recognized activity status. By merging the outcomes coming from each thermal camera, the monitored phenomena can be fully described from different perspectives getting deeper information in real-time and in an automatic way.   </p>

<p>Heart Disease is the most dominating disease which is taking a large number of deaths every year. A report from WHO in 2016 portrayed that every year at least 17 million people die of heart disease. This number is gradually increasing day by day and WHO estimated that this death toll will reach the summit of 75 million by 2030. Despite having modern technology and health care system predicting heart disease is still beyond limitations. As the Machine Learning algorithm is a vital source predicting data from available data sets we have used a machine learning approach to predict heart disease. We have collected data from the UCI repository. In our study, we have used Random Forest, Zero R, Voted Perceptron, K star classifier. We have got the best result through the Random Forest classifier with an accuracy of 97.69.<i><b></b></i></p> <p><b> </b></p>

&lt;p&gt;Improving the understanding of geothermal heat flux in Antarctica is crucial for ice-sheet modelling and glacial isostatic adjustment. It affects the ice rheology and can lead to basal melting, thereby promoting ice flow. Direct measurements are sparse and models inferred from e.g. magnetic or seismological data differ immensely. By Bayesian inversion, we evaluated the uncertainties of some of these models and studied the interdependencies of the thermal parameters. In contrast to previous studies, our method allows the parameters to vary laterally, which leads to a heterogeneous West- and a slightly more homogeneous East Antarctica with overall lower surface heat flux. The Curie isotherm depth and radiogenic heat production have the strongest impact on our results but both parameters have a high uncertainty.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To overcome such shortcomings, we adopt a machine learning approach, more specifically a Gradient Boosted Regression Tree model, in order to find an optimal predictor for locations with sparse measurements. However, this approach largely relies on global data sets, which are notoriously unreliable in Antarctica. Therefore, validity and quality of the data sets is reviewed and discussed. Using regional and more detailed data sets of Antarctica&amp;#8217;s Gondwana neighbors might improve the predictions due to their similar tectonic history. The performance of the machine learning algorithm can then be examined by comparing the predictions to the existing measurements. From our study, we expect to get new insights in the geothermal structure of Antarctica, which will help with future studies on the coupling of Solid Earth and Cryosphere.&lt;/p&gt;
