BACKGROUND Alopecia areata is an auto-immune disorder that involves non-scarring hair loss in well-defined patches as well as affecting the entire scalp region and ultimately leads to baldness. The latest worldwide statistics have exhibited that Alopecia areata affects millions of people. Furthermore, the use of conventional methods often leads to poor diagnosis of Alopecia ultimately increasing the medical financial burden on the population. It has been reported that 85% of the individuals suffering from Alopecia areata complain about significant financial burden along with associated costs that are beyond cosmetic concerns. Many individuals adhere to treatment discontinuation owing to enhanced expenses and poor diagnosis. OBJECTIVE The objectives of the study comprise of utilizing datasets of healthy hairs and Alopecia areata, extracting color, texture and shape features from the images and applying machine learning algorithms including support vector machine (SVM) and k-nearest neighbor (KNN). METHODS Two datasets with images of healthy hairs and Alopecia areata have been utilized. A total of 200 healthy hair images were retrieved from Figaro1k dataset. A total of 68 images of Alopecia areata were retrieved from a dataset known as Dermnet. The images initially go through pre-processing steps including enhancement and segmentation. Following image segmentation, three features of color, texture and shape are extracted. Following feature extraction, machine learning algorithms including support vector machine (SVM) and k-nearest neighbor (KNN) are applied that aid in classifying Alopecia areata and healthy hairs. RESULTS A total of 81 images are tested with support vector machine (SVM) and k- nearest neighbor (KNN) yielding an accuracy of 91.4% and 88.9% respectively. The results of the paired sample T-test via SPSS analysis demonstrate a p < 0.001 and exhibits that the accuracies acquired from the two machine learning techniques are significantly different. The accuracies reported will enable a hair expert in recommending a suitable diagnosis and hair treatment regimen to a patient. CONCLUSIONS The application of support vector machine (SVM) presented an accuracy of 91.4% and that of k-nearest neighbor (KNN) presented an accuracy of 88.9%. These accuracies exhibit that the proposed classification framework is found to be successful and robust. However, future work with deep learning techniques such as convolutional neural networks (CNN) can be also be carried out and integrated with the existing system.

Alopecia areata is defined as an autoimmune disorder that results in hair loss. The latest worldwide statistics have exhibited that alopecia areata has a prevalence of 1 in 1000 and has an incidence of 2%. Machine learning techniques have demonstrated potential in different areas of dermatology and may play a significant role in classifying alopecia areata for better prediction and diagnosis. We propose a framework pertaining to the classification of healthy hairs and alopecia areata. We used 200 images of healthy hairs from the Figaro1k dataset and 68 hair images of alopecia areata from the Dermnet dataset to undergo image preprocessing including enhancement and segmentation. This was followed by feature extraction including texture, shape, and color. Two classification techniques, i.e., support vector machine (SVM) and k -nearest neighbor (KNN), are then applied to train a machine learning model with 70% of the images. The remaining image set was used for the testing phase. With a 10-fold cross-validation, the reported accuracies of SVM and KNN are 91.4% and 88.9%, respectively. Paired sample T -test showed significant differences between the two accuracies with a p < 0.001 . SVM generated higher accuracy (91.4%) as compared to KNN (88.9%). The findings of our study demonstrate potential for better prediction in the field of dermatology.

ABSTRACT Introduction Early prediction of the acute hypotensive episode (AHE) in critically ill patients has the potential to improve outcomes. In this study, we apply different machine learning algorithms to the MIMIC III Physionet dataset, containing more than 60,000 real-world intensive care unit records, to test commonly used machine learning technologies and compare their performances. Materials and Methods Five classification methods including K-nearest neighbor, logistic regression, support vector machine, random forest, and a deep learning method called long short-term memory are applied to predict an AHE 30 minutes in advance. An analysis comparing model performance when including versus excluding invasive features was conducted. To further study the pattern of the underlying mean arterial pressure (MAP), we apply a regression method to predict the continuous MAP values using linear regression over the next 60 minutes. Results Support vector machine yields the best performance in terms of recall (84%). Including the invasive features in the classification improves the performance significantly with both recall and precision increasing by more than 20 percentage points. We were able to predict the MAP with a root mean square error (a frequently used measure of the differences between the predicted values and the observed values) of 10 mmHg 60 minutes in the future. After converting continuous MAP predictions into AHE binary predictions, we achieve a 91% recall and 68% precision. In addition to predicting AHE, the MAP predictions provide clinically useful information regarding the timing and severity of the AHE occurrence. Conclusion We were able to predict AHE with precision and recall above 80% 30 minutes in advance with the large real-world dataset. The prediction of regression model can provide a more fine-grained, interpretable signal to practitioners. Model performance is improved by the inclusion of invasive features in predicting AHE, when compared to predicting the AHE based on only the available, restricted set of noninvasive technologies. This demonstrates the importance of exploring more noninvasive technologies for AHE prediction.

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.

The Government

Sustainable development plays a vital role in information and communication technology. In times of pandemics such as COVID-19, vulnerable people need help to survive. This help includes the distribution of relief packages and materials by the government with the primary objective of lessening the economic and psychological effects on the citizens affected by disasters such as the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there has not been an efficient way to monitor public funds’ accountability and transparency, especially in developing countries such as Nigeria. The understanding of public emotions by the government on distributed palliatives is important as it would indicate the reach and impact of the distribution exercise. Although several studies on English emotion classification have been conducted, these studies are not portable to a wider inclusive Nigerian case. This is because Informal Nigerian English (Pidgin), which Nigerians widely speak, has quite a different vocabulary from Standard English, thus limiting the applicability of the emotion classification of Standard English machine learning models. An Informal Nigerian English (Pidgin English) emotions dataset is constructed, pre-processed, and annotated. The dataset is then used to classify five emotion classes (anger, sadness, joy, fear, and disgust) on the COVID-19 palliatives and relief aid distribution in Nigeria using standard machine learning (ML) algorithms. Six ML algorithms are used in this study, and a comparative analysis of their performance is conducted. The algorithms are Multinomial Naïve Bayes (MNB), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), Logistics Regression (LR), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), and Decision Tree (DT). The conducted experiments reveal that Support Vector Machine outperforms the remaining classifiers with the highest accuracy of 88%. The “disgust” emotion class surpassed other emotion classes, i.e., sadness, joy, fear, and anger, with the highest number of counts from the classification conducted on the constructed dataset. Additionally, the conducted correlation analysis shows a significant relationship between the emotion classes of “Joy” and “Fear”, which implies that the public is excited about the palliatives’ distribution but afraid of inequality and transparency in the distribution process due to reasons such as corruption. Conclusively, the results from this experiment clearly show that the public emotions on COVID-19 support and relief aid packages’ distribution in Nigeria were not satisfactory, considering that the negative emotions from the public outnumbered the public happiness.

The arising problem on food scarcity drives the innovation of urban farming. One of the methods in urban farming is the smart aquaponics. However, for a smart aquaponics to yield crops successfully, it needs intensive monitoring, control, and automation. An efficient way of implementing this is the utilization of vision systems and machine learning algorithms to optimize the capabilities of the farming technique. To realize this, a comparative analysis of three machine learning estimators: Logistic Regression (LR), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), and Linear Support Vector Machine (L-SVM) was conducted. This was done by modeling each algorithm from the machine vision-feature extracted images of lettuce which were raised in a smart aquaponics setup. Each of the model was optimized to increase cross and hold-out validations. The results showed that KNN having the tuned hyperparameters of n_neighbors=24, weights='distance', algorithm='auto', leaf_size = 10 was the most effective model for the given dataset, yielding a cross-validation mean accuracy of 87.06% and a classification accuracy of 91.67%.
