AbstractIn recent times, comparative opinion mining applications have attracted both individuals and business organizations to compare the strengths and weakness of products. Prior works on comparative opinion mining have focused on applying a single classifier, limited comparative opinion labels, and limited dataset of product reviews, resulting in degraded performance for classifying comparative reviews. In this work, we perform multi-class comparative opinion mining by applying multiple machine learning classifiers using an increased number of comparative opinion labels (9 classes) on 4 datasets of comparative product reviews. The experimental results show that Random Forest classifier has outperformed the comparing algorithms in terms of improved accuracy, precision, recall and f-measure.

Sentiment analysis is defined as the process of mining of data, view, review or sentence to Predict the emotion of the sentence through natural language processing (NLP) or Machine Learning Techniques. The sentiment analysis involve classification of text into three phase “Positive”, “Negative” or “Neutral”. The process of finding user Opinion about the topic or Product or problem is called as opinion mining. Analyzing the emotions from the extracted Opinions are defined as Sentiment Analysis. The goal of opinion mining and Sentiment Analysis is to make computer able to recognize and express emotion. Using social media, E-commerce website, movies reviews such as Face book, twitter, Amazon, Flipkart etc. user share their views, feelings in a convenient way. Sentiment analysis in a machine learning approach in which machines classify and analyze the human’s sentiments, emotions, opinions etc. about the products. Out of the various classification models, Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Decision Tree are used maximum times for the product analysis. The proposed approach will do better result as compare to other machine learning techniques.


It is very obvious that human fall due to unconsciousness is a very common health problem in every human being. With the evolution of many smart health devices, we should contribute the technological advancement of machine learning into it. Different techniques are already used in order to detect human fall detection in human beings. In this paper we have studied the patterns of falling of human through the fall detection dataset while this human was performing various motions. By understanding all these we have generated the prediction protocol which estimates the fall of a person using fall detection dataset. Machine Learning classifiers were used to predict the human fall and a comparative study of various algorithms used was developed to find out the best classifier.

<p>An accurate detection and mapping of glacial lakes in the Alpine regions such as the Himalayas, the Alps and the Andes are challenged by many factors. These factors include 1) a small size of glacial lakes, 2) cloud cover in optical satellite images, 3) cast shadows from mountains and clouds, 4) seasonal snow in satellite images, 5) varying degree of turbidity amongst glacial lakes, and 6) frozen glacial lake surface. In our study, we propose a fully automated approach, that overcomes most of the above mentioned challenges, to detect and map glacial lakes accurately using multi-source data and machine learning techniques such as the random forest classifier algorithm. The multi-source data are from the Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar data (radar backscatter), the Sentinel-2 multispectral instrument data (NDWI), and the SRTM digital elevation model (slope). We use these data as inputs for the rule-based segmentation of potential glacial lakes, where decision rules are implemented from the expert system. The potential glacial lake polygons are then classified either as glacial lakes or non-glacial lakes by the trained and tested random forest classifier algorithm. The performance of the method was assessed in eight test sites located across the Alpine regions (e.g. the Boshula mountain range and Koshi basin in the Himalayas, the Tajiks Pamirs, the Swiss Alps and the Peruvian Andes) of the word. We show that the proposed method performs efficiently irrespective of geographic, geologic, climatic, and glacial lake conditions.</p>

Machine learning is often perceived as a sophisticated technology accessible only by highly trained experts. This prevents many physicians and biologists from using this tool in their research. The goal of this paper is to eliminate this out-dated perception. We argue that the recent development of auto machine learning techniques enables biomedical researchers to quickly build competitive machine learning classifiers without requiring in-depth knowledge about the underlying algorithms. We study the case of predicting the risk of cardiovascular diseases. To support our claim, we compare auto machine learning techniques against a graduate student using several important metrics, including the total amounts of time required for building machine learning models and the final classification accuracies on unseen test datasets. In particular, the graduate student manually builds multiple machine learning classifiers and tunes their parameters for one month using scikit-learn library, which is a popular machine learning library to obtain ones that perform best on two given, publicly available datasets. We run an auto machine learning library called auto-sklearn on the same datasets. Our experiments find that automatic machine learning takes 1 h to produce classifiers that perform better than the ones built by the graduate student in one month. More importantly, building this classifier only requires a few lines of standard code. Our findings are expected to change the way physicians see machine learning and encourage wide adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques in clinical domains.

We have compared the performance of different machine learning techniques for human activity recognition. Experiments were made using a benchmark dataset where each subject wore a device in the pocket and another on the wrist. The dataset comprises thirteen activities, including physical activities, common postures, working activities and leisure activities. We apply a methodology known as the activity recognition chain, a sequence of steps involving preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction and classification for traditional machine learning methods; we also tested convolutional deep learning networks that operate on raw data instead of using computed features. Results show that combination of two sensors does not necessarily result in an improved accuracy. We have determined that best results are obtained by the extremely randomized trees approach, operating on precomputed features and on data obtained from the wrist sensor. Deep learning architectures did not produce competitive results with the tested architecture.

Sentiment analysis identifies users in the textual reviews available in social networking sites, tweets, blog posts, forums, status updates to share their emotions or reviews and these reviews are to be used by market researchers to do know the product reviews and current trends in the market. The sentiment analysis is performed by two methods. Machine learning approaches and lexicon methods which are also known as the knowledge base approach. These. In this article, the authors evaluate the performance of some machine learning techniques: Maximum Entropy, Naïve Bayes and Support Vector Machines on two benchmark datasets: the positive-negative dataset and a Movie Review dataset by measuring parameters like accuracy, precision, recall and F-score. In this article, the authors present the performance of various sentiment analysis and classification methods by classifying the reviews in binary classes as positive, negative opinion about reviews on different domains of dataset. It is also justified that sentiment analysis using the Support Vector Machine outperforms other machine learning techniques.
