<span>The fast development of mobile apps and its usage has led to increase the risk of exploiting user privacy. One method used in Android security mechanism is permission control that restricts the access of apps to core facilities of devices. However, that permissions could be exploited by attackers when granting certain combinations of permissions. So, the aim of this paper is to explore the pattern of malware apps based on analyzing permissions by proposing framework utilizing feature selection based on ensemble extra tree classifier method and machine learning classifier. The used dataset had 25458 samples (8643 malware apps &amp; 16815 benign apps) with 173 features. Three dataset with 25458 samples and 5, 10 and 20 features respectively were generated after using the proposed feature selection method. All the dataset was fed to machine learning. Support Vector machine (SVM), K Neighbors Classifier, Decision Tree, Naïve bayes and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) classifiers were used. The classifiers models were evaluated using true negative rate (TNR), false positive rate (FNR) and accuracy metrics. The experimental results obtained showed that Support Vector machine and KNeighbors Classifiers with 20 features achieved the highest accuracy with 94 % and TNR with rate of 89 % using KNeighbors Classifier. The FNR rate is dropped to 0.001 using 5 features with support vector machine (SVM) and Multilayer Perceptrons (MLP) classifiers. The result indicated that reducing permission features improved the performance of classification and reduced the computational overhead.</span>

Improved Accuracy

Cancer has been characterized as one of the leading diseases that cause death in humans. Breast cancer, being a subtype of cancer, causes death in one out of every eight women worldwide. The solution to counter this is by conducting early and accurate diagnosis for faster treatment. To achieve such accuracy in a short span of time proves difficult with existing techniques. Also, the medical tests conducted in hospitals for detecting cancer is expensive and is difficult for any common man to afford. To counter these problems, in this paper, we use the concept of applying Support Vector machine a Machine Learning algorithm to predict whether a person is prone to breast cancer. We evaluate the performance of this algorithm by calculating its accuracy and apply a min-max scaling method so as to counter and overcome the problem of overfitting and outliers. After scaling of the dataset, we apply a feature selection method called Principle component analysis to improve the algorithms accuracy by decreasing the number of parameters. The final algorithm has improved accuracy with the absence of overfitting and outliers, thus this algorithm can be used to develop and build systems that can be deployed in clinics, hospitals and medical centers for early and quick diagnosis of breast cancer. The training dataset is from the University of Wisconsin (UCI) Machine Learning Repository which is used to evaluate the performance of the Support vector machine by calculating its accuracy.

Feature Dimension

A feature selection method based on mutual information and support vector machine (SVM) is proposed in order to eliminate redundant feature and improve classification accuracy. First, local correlation between features and overall correlation is calculated by mutual information. The correlation reflects the information inclusion relationship between features, so the features are evaluated and redundant features are eliminated with analyzing the correlation. Subsequently, the concept of mean impact value (MIV) is defined and the influence degree of input variables on output variables for SVM network based on MIV is calculated. The importance weights of the features described with MIV are sorted by descending order. Finally, the SVM classifier is used to implement feature selection according to the classification accuracy of feature combination which takes MIV order of feature as a reference. The simulation experiments are carried out with three standard data sets of UCI, and the results show that this method can not only effectively reduce the feature dimension and high classification accuracy, but also ensure good robustness.

The Industry 4.0 revolution is insisting strongly for use of machine learning-based processes and condition monitoring. In this paper, emphasis is given on machine learning-based approach for condition monitoring of shaft misalignment. This work highlights combined approach of artificial neural network and support vector machine for identification and measure of shaft misalignment. The measure of misalignment requires more features to be extracted under variable load conditions. Hence, primary objective is to measure misalignment with a minimum number of extracted features. This is achieved through normalization of vibration signal. An experimental setup is prepared to collect the required vibration signals. The normalized time domain nonstationary signals are given to discrete wavelet transform for features extraction. The extracted features such as detailed coefficient is considered for feature selection viz. Skewness, Kurtosis, Max, Min, Root mean square, and Entropy. The ReliefF algorithm is used to decide best feature on rank basis. The ratio of maximum energy to Shannon entropy is used in wavelet selection. The best feature is used to train machine learning algorithm. The rank-based feature selection has improved classification accuracy of support vector machine. The result obtained with the combined approach are discussed for different misalignment conditions.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the performance of 2D and 3D radiomics features with different machine learning approaches to classify SPLs based on magnetic resonance(MR) T2 weighted imaging (T2WI).Material and MethodsA total of 132 patients with pathologically confirmed SPLs were examined and randomly divided into training (n = 92) and test datasets (n = 40). A total of 1692 3D and 1231 2D radiomics features per patient were extracted. Both radiomics features and clinical data were evaluated. A total of 1260 classification models, comprising 3 normalization methods, 2 dimension reduction algorithms, 3 feature selection methods, and 10 classifiers with 7 different feature numbers (confined to 3–9), were compared. The ten-fold cross-validation on the training dataset was applied to choose the candidate final model. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), precision-recall plot, and Matthews Correlation Coefficient were used to evaluate the performance of machine learning approaches.ResultsThe 3D features were significantly superior to 2D features, showing much more machine learning combinations with AUC greater than 0.7 in both validation and test groups (129 vs. 11). The feature selection method Analysis of Variance(ANOVA), Recursive Feature Elimination(RFE) and the classifier Logistic Regression(LR), Linear Discriminant Analysis(LDA), Support Vector Machine(SVM), Gaussian Process(GP) had relatively better performance. The best performance of 3D radiomics features in the test dataset (AUC = 0.824, AUC-PR = 0.927, MCC = 0.514) was higher than that of 2D features (AUC = 0.740, AUC-PR = 0.846, MCC = 0.404). The joint 3D and 2D features (AUC=0.813, AUC-PR = 0.926, MCC = 0.563) showed similar results as 3D features. Incorporating clinical features with 3D and 2D radiomics features slightly improved the AUC to 0.836 (AUC-PR = 0.918, MCC = 0.620) and 0.780 (AUC-PR = 0.900, MCC = 0.574), respectively.ConclusionsAfter algorithm optimization, 2D feature-based radiomics models yield favorable results in differentiating malignant and benign SPLs, but 3D features are still preferred because of the availability of more machine learning algorithmic combinations with better performance. Feature selection methods ANOVA and RFE, and classifier LR, LDA, SVM and GP are more likely to demonstrate better diagnostic performance for 3D features in the current study.
