Abstract Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of deaths worldwide. In 2017, CVD contributed to 13,503 deaths in Malaysia. The current approaches for CVD prediction are usually invasive and costly. Machine learning (ML) techniques allow an accurate prediction by utilizing the complex interactions among relevant risk factors. Results: This study presents a case–control study involving 60 participants from The Malaysian Cohort, which is a prospective population-based project. Five parameters, namely, the R–R interval and root mean square of successive differences extracted from electrocardiogram (ECG), systolic and diastolic blood pressures, and total cholesterol level, were statistically significant in predicting CVD. Six ML algorithms, namely, linear discriminant analysis, linear and quadratic support vector machines, decision tree, k-nearest neighbor, and artificial neural network (ANN), were evaluated to determine the most accurate classifier in predicting CVD risk. ANN, which achieved 90% specificity, 90% sensitivity, and 90% accuracy, demonstrated the highest prediction performance among the six algorithms. Conclusions: In summary, by utilizing ML techniques, ECG data can serve as a good parameter for CVD prediction among the Malaysian multiethnic population.

Abstract Deep learning techniques are playing an important role in the classification and prediction of diseases. Undoubtedly deep learning has a promising future in the health sector, especially in medical imaging. The popularity of deep learning approaches is because of their ability to handle a large amount of data related to the patients with accuracy, reliability in a short span of time. However, the practitioners may take time in analyzing and generating reports. In this paper, we have proposed a Deep Neural Network-based classification model for Parkinson’s disease. Our proposed method is one such good example giving faster and more accurate results for the classification of Parkinson’s disease patients with excellent accuracy of 94.87%. Based on the attributes of the dataset of the patient, the model can be used for the identification of Parkinsonism's. We have also compared the results with other existing approaches like Linear Discriminant Analysis, Support Vector Machine, K-Nearest Neighbor, Decision Tree, Classification and Regression Trees, Random Forest, Linear Regression, Logistic Regression, Multi-Layer Perceptron, and Naive Bayes.

Abstract Background Non-invasive differentiation between schwannomas and neurofibromas is important for appropriate management, preoperative counseling, and surgical planning, but has proven difficult using conventional imaging. The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate machine learning approaches for differentiating peripheral schwannomas from neurofibromas. Methods We assembled a cohort of schwannomas and neurofibromas from 3 independent institutions and extracted high-dimensional radiomic features from gadolinium-enhanced, T1-weighted MRI using the PyRadiomics package on Quantitative Imaging Feature Pipeline. Age, sex, neurogenetic syndrome, spontaneous pain, and motor deficit were recorded. We evaluated the performance of 6 radiomics-based classifier models with and without clinical features and compared model performance against human expert evaluators. Results 107 schwannomas and 59 neurofibroma were included. The primary models included both clinical and imaging data. The accuracy of the human evaluators (0.765) did not significantly exceed the no-information rate (NIR), whereas the Support Vector Machine (0.929), Logistic Regression (0.929), and Random Forest (0.905) classifiers exceeded the NIR. Using the method of DeLong, the AUC for the Logistic Regression (AUC=0.923) and K Nearest Neighbor (AUC=0.923) classifiers was significantly greater than the human evaluators (AUC=0.766; p = 0.041). Conclusions The radiomics-based classifiers developed here proved to be more accurate and had a higher AUC on the ROC curve than expert human evaluators. This demonstrates that radiomics using routine MRI sequences and clinical features can aid in differentiation of peripheral schwannomas and neurofibromas.

As the core component of agricultural robots, robotic grippers are widely used for plucking, picking, and harvesting fruits and vegetables. Secure grasping is a severe challenge in agricultural applications because of the variation in the shape and hardness of agricultural products during maturation, as well as their variety and delicacy. In this study, a fruit identification method utilizing an adaptive gripper with tactile sensing and machine learning algorithms is reported. An adaptive robotic gripper is designed and manufactured to perform adaptive grasping. A tactile sensing information acquisition circuit is built, and force and bending sensors are integrated into the robotic gripper to measure the contact force distribution on the contact surface and the deformation of the soft fingers. A robotic manipulator platform is developed to collect the tactile sensing data in the grasping process. The performance of the random forest (RF), k-nearest neighbor (KNN), support vector classification (SVC), naive Bayes (NB), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and ridge regression (RR) classifiers in identifying and classifying five types of fruits using the adaptive gripper is evaluated and compared. The RF classifier achieves the highest accuracy of 98%, while the accuracies of the other classifiers vary from 74% to 97%. The experiment illustrates that efficient and accurate fruit identification can be realized with the adaptive gripper and machine learning classifiers, and that the proposed method can provide a reference for controlling the grasping force and planning the robotic motion in the plucking, picking, and harvesting of fruits and vegetables.

Abstract Background Machine learning is a branch of Artificial Intelligence that is concerned with the design and development of algorithms, and it enables today’s computers to have the property of learning. Machine learning is gradually growing and becoming a critical approach in many domains such as health, education, and business. Methods In this paper, we applied machine learning to the diabetes dataset with the aim of recognizing patterns and combinations of factors that characterizes or explain re-admission among diabetes patients. The classifiers used include Linear Discriminant Analysis, Random Forest, k–Nearest Neighbor, Naïve Bayes, J48 and Support vector machine. Results Of the 100,000 cases, 78,363 were diabetic and over 47% were readmitted.Based on the classes that models produced, diabetic patients who are more likely to be readmitted are either women, or Caucasians, or outpatients, or those who undergo less rigorous lab procedures, treatment procedures, or those who receive less medication, and are thus discharged without proper improvements or administration of insulin despite having been tested positive for HbA1c. Conclusion Diabetic patients who do not undergo vigorous lab assessments, diagnosis, medications are more likely to be readmitted when discharged without improvements and without receiving insulin administration, especially if they are women, Caucasians, or both.

The important part of female reproductive system is ovaries. The importance of these tiny glands is derived from the production of female sex hormones and female gametes. The place of these ductless almond shaped tiny glandular organs is on just opposite sides of uterus attached with ovarian ligament. There are several reasons due to which ovarian cancer can arise but it can be classified by using different number of techniques. Early prediction of ovarian cancer will decrease its progress rate and may possibly save countless lives. CAD systems (Computer-aided diagnosis) is a noninvasive routine for finding ovarian cancer in its initial stages of cancer which can keep away patients’ anxiety and unnecessary biopsy. This review paper states us about how we can use different techniques to classify the ovarian cancer tumor. In this survey effort we have also deliberate about the comparison of different machine learning algorithms like K-Nearest Neighbor, Support Vector Machine and deep learning techniques used in classification process of ovarian cancer. Later comparing the different techniques for this type of cancer detection, it gives the impression that Deep Learning Technique has provided good results and come out with good accuracy and other performance metrics.

Twitter is one of the most popular platforms used to share and post ideas. Hackers and anonymous attackers use these platforms maliciously, and their behavior can be used to predict the risk of future attacks, by gathering and classifying hackers’ tweets using machine-learning techniques. Previous approaches for detecting infected tweets are based on human efforts or text analysis, thus they are limited to capturing the hidden text between tweet lines. The main aim of this research paper is to enhance the efficiency of hacker detection for the Twitter platform using the complex networks technique with adapted machine learning algorithms. This work presents a methodology that collects a list of users with their followers who are sharing their posts that have similar interests from a hackers’ community on Twitter. The list is built based on a set of suggested keywords that are the commonly used terms by hackers in their tweets. After that, a complex network is generated for all users to find relations among them in terms of network centrality, closeness, and betweenness. After extracting these values, a dataset of the most influential users in the hacker community is assembled. Subsequently, tweets belonging to users in the extracted dataset are gathered and classified into positive and negative classes. The output of this process is utilized with a machine learning process by applying different algorithms. This research build and investigate an accurate dataset containing real users who belong to a hackers’ community. Correctly, classified instances were measured for accuracy using the average values of K-nearest neighbor, Naive Bayes, Random Tree, and the support vector machine techniques, demonstrating about 90% and 88% accuracy for cross-validation and percentage split respectively. Consequently, the proposed network cyber Twitter model is able to detect hackers, and determine if tweets pose a risk to future institutions and individuals to provide early warning of possible attacks.
