Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 or COVID-19 is a global health crisis caused by a virus officially named as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and well known with the acronym (SARS-CoV-2). This very contagious illness has severely impacted people and business all over the world and scientists are trying so far to discover all useful information about it, including its potential origin(s) and inter-host(s). This study is a part of this scientific inquiry and it aims to identify precisely the origin(s) of a large set of genomes of SARS-COV-2 collected from different geographic locations in all over the world. This research is performed through the combination of five powerful techniques of machine learning (Naïve Bayes, K-Nearest Neighbors, Artificial Neural Networks, Decision tree and Support Vector Machine) and a widely known tool of language modeling (N-grams). The experimental results have shown that the majority of techniques gave the same global results concerning the origin(s) and inter-host(s) of SARS-COV-2. These results demonstrated that this virus has one zoonotic source which is Pangolin.

Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 or COVID-19 is a global health crisis caused by a virus officially named as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and well known with the acronym (SARS-CoV-2). This very contagious illness has severely impacted people and business all over the world and scientists are trying so far to discover all useful information about it, including its potential origin(s) and inter-host(s). This study is a part of this scientific inquiry and it aims to achieve two main objectives: (1) to identify precisely the origin(s) of a large set of genomes of SARS-COV-2 collected from different geographic locations in all over the world, and (2) to study the relation between these genomes and the regions of sampling. This research is performed through the combination of five powerful techniques of machine learning (Naïve Bayes, K-Nearest Neighbors, Artificial Neural Networks, Decision tree and Support Vector Machine) and a widely known tool of language modeling (N-grams). The experimental results have shown that the majority of techniques gave the same global results concerning the origin(s) and inter-host(s) of SARS-COV-2. These results demonstrated that this virus has multiple origins with different degrees. Also, they were used to study the relation that exists between the geographic locations from where the genomes of COVID-19 were collected and the origins of this virus.

Abstract We present here for the first time a fast and reliable automatic algorithm based on artificial neural networks for the anomaly detection of a thermoluminescence dosemeter (TLD) glow curves (GCs), and compare its performance with formerly developed support vector machine method. The GC shape of TLD depends on numerous physical parameters, which may significantly affect it. When integrated into a dosimetry laboratory, this automatic algorithm can classify ‘anomalous’ (having any kind of anomaly) GCs for manual review, and ‘regular’ (acceptable) GCs for automatic analysis. The new algorithm performance is then compared with two kinds of formerly developed support vector machine classifiers—regular and weighted ones—using three different metrics. Results show an impressive accuracy rate of 97% for TLD GCs that are correctly classified to either of the classes.

Prediction of student performance on the basis of habits has been a very important research topic in academics. Studies show that selection of the correct data set also plays a vital role in these predictions. In this chapter, the authors took data from different schools that contains student habits and their comments, analyzed it using latent semantic analysis to get semantics, and then used support vector machine to classify the data into two classes, important for prediction and not important. Finally, they used artificial neural networks to predict the grades of students. Regression was also used to predict data coming from support vector machine, while giving only the important data for prediction.

Las técnicas de aprendizaje de máquina continúan siendo muy utilizadas para la minería de texto. Para este artículo se realizó una revisión de literatura en periódicos científicos publicados en los años de 2010 y 2011, con el objetivo de identificar las principales formas de aprendizaje de máquina empleadas para la minería de texto. Se utilizó estadística descriptiva para organizar, resumir y analizar los datos encontrados, y se presentó una descripción resumida de las principales encontradas. En los artículos analizados se hallaron 13 aplicadas para la minería de texto, el 83% de los artículos mencionaban de 1 a 3 técnicas de aprendizaje de máquina, las principales usadas por los autores en los artículos estudiados fueron support vector machine (svm), k-means (k-m),k-nearest neighbors (k-nn), naive bayes (nb), self-organizing maps (som). Los pares que aparecen con mayor frecuencia son svm/nb, svm/k-nn, svm/decission tree.
