AbstractAmphibian species have been considered as useful ecological indicators. They are used as indicators of environmental contamination, ecosystem health and habitat quality., Amphibian species are sensitive to changes in the aquatic environment and therefore, may form the basis for the classification of water bodies. Water bodies in which there are a large number of amphibian species are especially valuable even if they are located in urban areas. The automation of the classification process allows for a faster evaluation of the presence of amphibian species in the water bodies. Three machine-learning methods (artificial neural networks, decision trees and the k-nearest neighbours algorithm) have been used to classify water bodies in Chorzów – one of 19 cities in the Upper Silesia Agglomeration. In this case, classification is a supervised data mining method consisting of several stages such as building the model, the testing phase and the prediction. Seven natural and anthropogenic features of water bodies (e.g. the type of water body, aquatic plants, the purpose of the water body (destination), position of the water body in relation to any possible buildings, condition of the water body, the degree of littering, the shore type and fishing activities) have been taken into account in the classification. The data set used in this study involved information about 71 different water bodies and 9 amphibian species living in them. The results showed that the best average classification accuracy was obtained with the multilayer perceptron neural network.

Machine learning methods have begun to be used in petrography relatively recently. However, thanks to the rapid programming development, more powerful algorithms and tools appear, the use of which to solve petrographic tasks hasn’t yet been considered. That’s why the purpose of this work was to use modern machine learning methods to identify mineral components from macro images of rock samples, as well as to use digital image processing methods. This article presents the method of determination of quantitative characteristics and the method of classification of minerals on macro images of rocks. An open source program for analyzing and processing images ImageJ, and its plugin Trainable Weka Segmentation were used as a toolkit. Macro images are obtained by scanning polished granite samples. Seven macro images of various representatives of the granites were selected for the experiment. Training with a teacher was conducted, where the decision tree method was used for classification. Based on this data set, classes were created for each of the rock-forming minerals: quartz (Q), potassium feldspar (Fps), plagioclase (Pl) and biotite (Bi). Regions of interest were prepared and stored in one database on the basis of which the classifier was trained. Based on the obtained classification data, masks of each mineral were created. A quantitative analysis was performed based on these masks: the percentage content and amount of grains of each mineral were determined. Results are presented in tabular and graphical forms.

During the coronavirus pandemic, the problem of misinformation arose once again, quite intensely, through social networks. In Brazil, one of the primary sources of misinformation is the messaging application WhatsApp. However, due to WhatsApp's private messaging nature, there still few methods of misinformation detection developed specifically for this platform. In this context, the automatic misinformation detection (MID) about COVID-19 in Brazilian Portuguese WhatsApp messages becomes a crucial challenge. In this work, we present the COVID-19.BR, a data set of WhatsApp messages about coronavirus in Brazilian Portuguese, collected from Brazilian public groups and manually labeled. Then, we are investigating different machine learning methods in order to build an efficient MID for WhatsApp messages. So far, our best result achieved an F1 score of 0.774 due to the predominance of short texts. However, when texts with less than 50 words are filtered, the F1 score rises to 0.85.

In this paper, the Haar wavelet discrete transform, the artificial neural networks (ANNs), and the random forests (RFs) are applied to predict the location and severity of a crack in an Euler–Bernoulli cantilever subjected to the transverse free vibration. An extensive investigation into two data collection sets and machine learning methods showed that the depth of a crack is more difficult to predict than its location. The data set of eight natural frequency parameters produces more accurate predictions on the crack depth; meanwhile, the data set of eight Haar wavelet coefficients produces more precise predictions on the crack location. Furthermore, the analysis of the results showed that the ensemble of 50 ANN trained by Bayesian regularization and Levenberg–Marquardt algorithms slightly outperforms RF.
