<span>Crop management including the efficient use of nitrogen (N) fertilizer is important to ensure crop productivity. Human error in judging the leaf greenness when using the leaf color chart (LCC) to estimate the rice plant N nutrient status has encouraged numerous researchers to implement a machine-learning algorithm but experienced some issues in calibration and lighting. The datasets are created at 6.00-7.00AM (consistent lighting) and including light intensity, so each dataset contains RGB value and light intensity as inputs, and LCC value as a target. A system consists of a smartphone with an application that prevents user from taking an image if the light intensity is not in 2000-3500 lux, and a computer for preprocessing and classification purposes were developed. The preprocessing included cropping, splitting the rice leaf images, and calculating the average RGB values. A k-NN classifier is implemented and by using a cross-validation method is found k=5 gives the best accuracy of 97,22%. The in-site test of the system also works with an accuracy of 96.40%. </span>

Data mining is currently being used in various applications; In research community it plays a vital role. This paper specify about data mining techniques for the preprocessing and classification of various disease in plants. Since various plants has different diseases based on that each of them has different data sets and different objectives for knowledge discovery. Data Mining Techniques applied on plants that it helps in segmentation and classification of diseased plants, it avoids Oral Inspection and helps to increase in crop productivity. This paper provides various classification techniques Such as K-Nearest Neighbors, Support Vector Machine, Principle component Analysis, Neural Network. Thus among various techniques neural network is effective for disease detection in plants.

Detection of nutritional deficiencies in plants is vital for improving crop productivity. Timely identification of nutrient deficiency through visual symptoms in the plants can help farmers take quick corrective action by appropriate nutrient management strategies. Manual checking of plant nutrient deficiency does not give adequate result as naked eye observation is old method and requires more time for deficiency recognition, and also need expert person. which is very costly for farmers hence it is non-effective. To overcome disadvantages of traditional eye observing technique, we used the application of computer vision and machine learning techniques offers new prospects in nondestructive field-based analysis for nutrient deficiency detection. In the proposed system, we are using unsupervised machine learning algorithm, which learns features on its own from given dataset. Initially, we perform preprocessing on image to be tested. preprocessing includes image enhancement, image restoration, image segmentation. classifier predicts the result based on the image we passed. The system will provide the definite result about a nutrient deficiency along with disease if any and also provide solution for nutrient deficiency.

The article proposes the classification of lenses with different symmetrical beam angles and offers a scale as a spot-light’s palette. A collection of spotlight’s images was created and classified according to the proposed scale. The analysis of 788 pcs of existing lenses and reflectors with different LEDs and COBs carried out, and the dependence of the axial light intensity from beam angle was obtained. A transfer training of new deep convolutional neural network (CNN) based on the pre-trained GoogleNet was performed using this collection. GradCAM analysis showed that the trained network correctly identifies the features of objects. This work allows us to classify arbitrary spotlights with an accuracy of about 80 %. Thus, light designer can determine the class of spotlight and corresponding type of lens with its technical parameters using this new model based on CCN.

AbstractSomatic mutations in cancer driver genes can help diagnosis, prognosis and treatment decisions. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) specimen is the main source of DNA for somatic mutation detection. To overcome constraints of DNA isolated from FFPE, we compared pyrosequencing and ddPCR analysis for absolute quantification of BRAF V600E mutation in the DNA extracted from FFPE specimens and compared the results to the qualitative detection information obtained by Sanger Sequencing. Sanger sequencing was able to detect BRAF V600E mutation only when it was present in more than 15% total alleles. Although the sensitivity of ddPCR is higher than that observed for Sanger, it was less consistent than pyrosequencing, likely due to droplet classification bias of FFPE-derived DNA. To address the droplet allocation bias in ddPCR analysis, we have compared different algorithms for automated droplet classification and next correlated these findings with those obtained from pyrosequencing. By examining the addition of non-classifiable droplets (rain) in ddPCR, it was possible to obtain better qualitative classification of droplets and better quantitative classification compared to no rain droplets, when considering pyrosequencing results. Notable, only the Machine learning k-NN algorithm was able to automatically classify the samples, surpassing manual classification based on no-template controls, which shows promise in clinical practice.

AbstractMinnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) is a widely used tool for early detection of psychological maladjustment and assessing the level of adaptation for a large group in clinical settings, schools, and corporations. This study aims to evaluate the utility of MMPI-2 in assessing suicidal risk using the results of MMPI-2 and suicidal risk evaluation. A total of 7,824 datasets collected from college students were analyzed. The MMPI-2-Resturcutred Clinical Scales (MMPI-2-RF) and the response results for each question of the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) suicidality module were used. For statistical analysis, random forest and K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) techniques were used with suicidal ideation and suicide attempt as dependent variables and 50 MMPI-2 scale scores as predictors. On applying the random forest method to suicidal ideation and suicidal attempts, the accuracy was 92.9% and 95%, respectively, and the Area Under the Curves (AUCs) were 0.844 and 0.851, respectively. When the KNN method was applied, the accuracy was 91.6% and 94.7%, respectively, and the AUCs were 0.722 and 0.639, respectively. The study confirmed that machine learning using MMPI-2 for a large group provides reliable accuracy in classifying and predicting the subject's suicidal ideation and past suicidal attempts.

Today, many students are moving towards higher education courses that do not suit them and end up failing. The purpose of this study is to help provide counselors with better knowledge so that they can offer future students courses corresponding to their profile. The second objective is to allow the teaching staff to propose training courses adapted to students by anticipating their possible difficulties. This is possible thanks to a machine learning algorithm called Random Forest, allowing for the classification of the students depending on their results. We had to process data, generate models using our algorithm, and cross the results obtained to have a better final prediction. We tested our method on different use cases, from two classes to five classes. These sets of classes represent the different intervals with an average ranging from 0 to 20. Thus, an accuracy of 75% was achieved with a set of five classes and up to 85% for sets of two and three classes.
