Handwritten character recognition is one of the practically important issues in pattern recognition applications. The applications of digit recognition include in postal mail sorting, bank check processing, form data entry, etc. The main problem lies within the ability on developing an efficient algorithm that can recognize hand written digits, which is submitted by users by the way of a scanner, tablet, and other digital devices. This paper presents an approach to off-line handwritten digit recognition based on different machine learning techniques. The main objective of this paper is to ensure the effectiveness and reliability of the approached recognition of handwritten digits. Several machines learning algorithms (i.e. Multilayer Perceptron, Support Vector Machine, Naïve Bayes, Bayes Net, Random Forest, J48, and Random Tree) have been used for the recognition of digits using WEKA. The experimental results showed that the highest accuracy was obtained by Multilayer Perceptron with the value of 90.37%.

Handwritten Digit Recognition is probably one of the most exciting works in the field of science and technology as it is a hard task for the machines to recognize the digits which are written by different people. The handwritten digits may not be perfect and also consist of different flavors. And there is a necessity for handwritten digit recognition in many real-time purposes. The widely used MNIST dataset consists of almost 60000 handwritten digits. And to classify these kinds of images, many machine learning algorithms are used. This paper presents an in-depth analysis of accuracies and performances of Support Vector Machines (SVM), Neural Networks (NN), Decision Tree (DT) algorithms using Microsoft Azure ML Studio.

Heart related diseases or Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) are the main reason for a huge number of death in the world over the last few decades and has emerged as the most life-threatening disease, not only in India but in the whole world. So, there is a need of reliable, accurate and feasible system to diagnose such diseases in time for proper treatment. Machine Learning algorithms and techniques have been applied to various medical datasets to automate the analysis of large and complex data. Many researchers, in recent times, have been using several machine learning techniques to help the health care industry and the professionals in the diagnosis of heart related diseases. This paper presents a survey of various models based on such algorithms and techniques andanalyze their performance. Models based on supervised learning algorithms such as Support Vector Machines (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN), NaïveBayes, Decision Trees (DT), Random Forest (RF) and ensemble models are found very popular among the researchers.

Heart-related diseases or Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) are the main reason for a huge number of death in the world over the last few decades and has emerged as the most life-threatening disease, not only in India but in the whole world. So, there is a need fora reliable, accurate, and feasible system to diagnose such diseases in time for proper treatment. Machine Learning algorithms and techniques have been applied to various medical datasets to automate the analysis of large and complex data. Many researchers, in recent times, have been using several machine learning techniques to help the health care industry and the professionals in the diagnosis of heart-related diseases. Heart is the next major organ comparing to the brain which has more priority in the Human body. It pumps the blood and supplies it to all organs of the whole body. Prediction of occurrences of heart diseases in the medical field is significant work. Data analytics is useful for prediction from more information and it helps the medical center to predict various diseases. A huge amount of patient-related data is maintained on monthly basis. The stored data can be useful for the source of predicting the occurrence of future diseases. Some of the data mining and machine learning techniques are used to predict heart diseases, such as Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Random Forest,and Support Vector Machine (SVM).Prediction and diagnosingof heart disease become a challenging factor faced by doctors and hospitals both in India and abroad. To reduce the large scale of deaths from heart diseases, a quick and efficient detection technique is to be discovered. Data mining techniques and machine learning algorithms play a very important role in this area. The researchers accelerating their research works to develop software with thehelp of machine learning algorithms which can help doctors to decide both prediction and diagnosing of heart disease. The main objective of this research project is to predict the heart disease of a patient using machine learning algorithms.

<p><span>This paper covers the work done in handwritten digit recognition and the various classifiers that have been developed. Methods like MLP, SVM, Bayesian networks, and Random forests were discussed with their accuracy and are empirically evaluated. Boosted LetNet 4, an ensemble of various classifiers, has shown maximum efficiency among these methods. </span></p>


The advancement in cyber-attack technologies have ushered in various new attacks which are difficult to detect using traditional intrusion detection systems (IDS).Existing IDS are trained to detect known patterns because of which newer attacks bypass the current IDS and go undetected. In this paper, a two level framework is proposed which can be used to detect unknown new attacks using machine learning techniques. In the first level the known types of classes for attacks are determined using supervised machine learning algorithms such as Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Neural networks (NN). The second level uses unsupervised machine learning algorithms such as K-means. The experimentation is carried out with four models with NSL- KDD dataset in Openstack cloud environment. The Model with Support Vector Machine for supervised machine learning, Gradual Feature Reduction (GFR) for feature selection and K-means for unsupervised algorithm provided the optimum efficiency of 94.56 %.

The particulate matter air pollutant of diameter less than 10 micrometers (PM[Formula: see text]), a category of pollutants including solid and liquid particles, can be a health hazard for several reasons: it can harm lung tissues and throat, aggravate asthma and increase respiratory illness. Accurate prediction models of PM[Formula: see text] concentrations are essential for proper management, control, and making public warning strategies. Therefore, machine learning techniques have the capability to develop methods or tools that can be used to discover unseen patterns from given data to solve a particular task or problem. The chance theory has advanced concepts pertinent to treat cases where both randomness and fuzziness play simultaneous roles at one time. The main objective is to study the modification of a single machine learning algorithm — support vector machine (SVM) — applying the chance weight of the target variable, based on the chance theory, to the corresponding dataset point to be superior to the ensemble machine learning algorithms. The results of this study are outperforming of the SVM algorithms when modifying and combining with the right theory/technique, especially the chance theory over other modern ensemble learning algorithms.

Medical systems incorporate modern computational intelligence in healthcare. Machine learning techniques are applied to predict the onset and reoccurrence of the disease, identify biomarkers for survivability analysis depending upon certain health conditions of the patient. Early prediction of diseases like diabetes is essential as the number of diabetic patients of all age groups is increasing rapidly. To identify underlying reasons for the onset of diabetes in its early stage has become a challenging task for medical practitioners. Continuously increasing diabetic patient data has necessitated for the applications of efficient machine learning algorithms, which learns from the trends of the underlying data and recognizes the critical conditions in patients. In this article, an ensemble-based framework named e DiaPredict is proposed. It uses ensemble modeling, which includes an ensemble of different machine learning algorithms comprising XGBoost, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, Neural Network, and Decision tree to predict diabetes status among patients. The performance of eDiaPredict has been evaluated using various performance parameters like accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, Gini Index, precision, area under curve, area under convex hull, minimum error rate, and minimum weighted coefficient. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is shown by its application on the PIMA Indian diabetes dataset wherein an accuracy of 95% is achieved.
