In Japan, the deterioration of industrial plants built during the period of high economic growth in the middle of the 20th century has recently become a social concern. Corrosion under insulation (CUI) of piping in such plants is a pressing problem. X-ray and ultrasound inspections are conventional methods for detecting CUI; however, these methods are time-consuming and expensive. Therefore, rapid and low-cost screening techniques for CUI are required. We develop a hammering-type inspection robot system that moves inside the piping and records hammering sounds. Furthermore, we propose an acoustic analysis method to identify anomalous parts from the hammering sound using machine learning techniques. Using three testing pipes, we can successfully identify anomalous parts through acoustic analysis using a deep neural network as a supervised learning method. However, in practical piping inspections, the detection of anomalies without training data is required for further applications. Therefore, we investigate unsupervised learning anomaly detection using an autoencoder and a variational autoencoder and report the results.

Abstract In this article, an innovative approach to perform the sentiment analysis (SA) has been presented. The proposed system handles the issues of Romanized or abbreviated text and spelling variations in the text to perform the sentiment analysis. The training data set of 3,000 movie reviews and tweets has been manually labeled by native speakers of Hindi in three classes, i.e. positive, negative, and neutral. The system uses WEKA (Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis) tool to convert these string data into numerical matrices and applies three machine learning techniques, i.e. Naive Bayes (NB), J48, and support vector machine (SVM). The proposed system has been tested on 100 movie reviews and tweets, and it has been observed that SVM has performed best in comparison to other classifiers, and it has an accuracy of 68% for movie reviews and 82% in case of tweets. The results of the proposed system are very promising and can be used in emerging applications like SA of product reviews and social media analysis. Additionally, the proposed system can be used in other cultural/social benefits like predicting/fighting human riots.

Accidents have become major issue in Developing countries like India now a day. As per the Surveys 60% of the accidents are happening due to over speed. Though the government has taken so many initiatives like Traffic Awareness & Driving Awareness Week etc.., but still the percentage of accidents are not getting reduced. In this paper a new technique has been introduced to reduce the percentage of accidents. The new technique is implemented using the concept of Machine Learning [1]. The Machine Learning based systems can be implemented in all vehicles to avoid the accidents at low cost [1]. The main objective of this system is to calculate the speed of the vehicle at three various locations based on the place where the vehicle speed must be controlled and if the speed is greater than the designated speed in that road then the vehicle automatically detects the problem and same will be intimated to the driver to control the speed of the vehicle. If the speed is less or equal to the designated speed in that road then the vehicle will be passed without any disturbance. The system will be giving beep sound along with color indication to driver in each and every scenario. The other option implemented in this system is if the driver is driving the vehicle in the night and if he feel drowsy the system detects it immediately and alarm sound will be initiated to wake up the driver. This system though it won’t avoid 100% accidents at least it will reduce the percentage of accidents. This system is not only to avoid accidents it will also intelligently control the speed of the vehicles and creates awareness amongst the drivers.

AbstractAdvances in the artificial neural network have made machine learning techniques increasingly more important in image analysis tasks. Recently, convolutional neural networks (CNN) have been applied to the problem of cell segmentation from microscopy images. However, previous methods used a supervised training paradigm in order to create an accurate segmentation model. This strategy requires a large amount of manually labeled cellular images, in which accurate segmentations at pixel level were produced by human operators. Generating training data is expensive and a major hindrance in the wider adoption of machine learning based methods for cell segmentation. Here we present an alternative strategy that trains CNNs without any human-labeled data. We show that our method is able to produce accurate segmentation models, and is applicable to both fluorescence and bright-field images, and requires little to no prior knowledge of the signal characteristics.

Mental workload is considered one of the most important factors in interaction design and how to detect a user's mental workload during tasks is still an open research question. Psychological evidence has already attributed a certain amount of variability and “drift” in an individual's handwriting pattern to mental stress, but this phenomenon has not been explored adequately. The intention of this paper is to explore the possibility of evaluating mental workload with handwriting information by machine learning techniques. Machine learning techniques such as decision trees, support vector machine (SVM), and artificial neural network were used to predict mental workload levels in the authors' research. Results showed that it was possible to make prediction of mental workload levels automatically based on handwriting patterns with relatively high accuracy, especially on patterns of children. In addition, the proposed approach is attractive because it requires no additional hardware, is unobtrusive, is adaptable to individual users, and is of very low cost.

<p>In this study, we proposed a method to utilize a multi-sensor Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) for exploration of hydrothermal alteration zones. This study selected an area (10m × 20m) composed mainly of the andesite and located on the coast, with wide outcrops and well-developed structural and mineralization elements. Multi-sensor (visible, multispectral, thermal, magnetic) data were acquired in the study area using UAS, and were studied using machine learning techniques. For utilizing the machine learning techniques, we applied the stratified random method to sample 1000 training data in the hydrothermal zone and 1000 training data in the non-hydrothermal zone identified through the field survey. The 2000 training data sets created for supervised learning were first classified into 1500 for training and 500 for testing. Then, 1500 for training were classified into 1200 for training and 300 for validation. The training and validation data for machine learning were generated in five sets to enable cross-validation. Five types of machine learning techniques were applied to the training data sets: k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN), Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Deep Neural Network (DNN). As a result of integrated analysis of multi-sensor data using five types of machine learning techniques, RF and SVM techniques showed high classification accuracy of about 90%. Moreover, performing integrated analysis using multi-sensor data showed relatively higher classification accuracy in all five machine learning techniques than analyzing magnetic sensing data or single optical sensing data only.</p>

The fact that people freely express their opinions and ideas in no more than 140 characters makes Twitter one of the most prevalent social networking websites in the world. Being popular in Saudi Arabia, we believe that tweets are a good source to capture the public’s sentiment, especially since the country is in a fractious region. Going over the challenges and the difficulties that the Arabic tweets present – using Saudi Arabia as a basis – we propose our solution. A typical problem is the practice of tweeting in dialectical Arabic. Based on our observation we recommend a hybrid approach that combines semantic orientation and machine learning techniques. Through this approach, the lexical-based classifier will label the training data, a time-consuming task often prepared manually. The output of the lexical classifier will be used as training data for the SVM machine learning classifier. The experiments show that our hybrid approach improved the F-measure of the lexical classifier by 5.76% while the accuracy jumped by 16.41%, achieving an overall F-measure and accuracy of 84 and 84.01% respectively.
