Abstract: Fall is a significant national health issue for the elderly people, generally resulting in severe injuries when the person lies down on the floor over an extended period without any aid after experiencing a great fall. Thus, elders need to be cared very attentively. A supervised-machine learning based fall detection approach with accelerometer, gyroscope is devised. The system can detect falls by grouping different actions as fall or non-fall events and the care taker is alerted immediately as soon as the person falls. The public dataset SisFall with efficient class of features is used to identify fall. The Random Forest (RF) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) machine learning algorithms are employed to detect falls with lesser false alarms. The SVM algorithm obtain a highest accuracy of 99.23% than RF algorithm. Keywords: Fall detection, Machine learning, Supervised classification, Sisfall, Activities of daily living, Wearable sensors, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine

The Distributed Network Protocol (DNP3) is predominately used by the electric utility industry and, consequently, in smart grids. The Peekaboo attack was created to compromise DNP3 traffic, in which a man-in-the-middle on a communication link can capture and drop selected encrypted DNP3 messages by using support vector machine learning algorithms. The communication networks of smart grids are a important part of their infrastructure, so it is of critical importance to keep this communication secure and reliable. The main contribution of this paper is to compare the use of machine learning techniques to classify messages of the same protocol exchanged in encrypted tunnels. The study considers four simulated cases of encrypted DNP3 traffic scenarios and four different supervised machine learning algorithms: Decision tree, nearest-neighbor, support vector machine, and naive Bayes. The results obtained show that it is possible to extend a Peekaboo attack over multiple substations, using a decision tree learning algorithm, and to gather significant information from a system that communicates using encrypted DNP3 traffic.

Online product reviews have become a valuable source of information which facilitate customer decision with respect to a particular product. With the wealthy information regarding user's satisfaction and experiences about a particular drug, pharmaceutical companies make the use of online drug reviews to improve the quality of their products. Machine learning has enabled scientists to train more efficient models which facilitate decision making in various fields. In this manuscript we applied a drug review dataset used by (Gräβer, Kallumadi, Malberg,& Zaunseder, 2018), available freely from machine learning repository website of the University of California Irvine (UCI) to identify best machine learning model which provide a better prediction of the overall drug performance with respect to users' reviews. Apart from several manipulations done to improve model accuracy, all necessary procedures required for text analysis were followed including text cleaning and transformation of texts to numeric format for easy training machine learning models. Prior to modeling, we obtained overall sentiment scores for the reviews. Customer's reviews were summarized and visualized using a bar plot and word cloud to explore the most frequent terms. Due to scalability issues, we were able to use only the sample of the dataset. We randomly sampled 15000 observations from the 161297 training dataset and 10000 observations were randomly sampled from the 53766 testing dataset. Several machine learning models were trained using 10 folds cross-validation performed under stratified random sampling. The trained models include Classification and Regression Trees (CART), classification tree by C5.0, logistic regression (GLM), Multivariate Adaptive Regression Spline (MARS), Support vector machine (SVM) with both radial and linear kernels and a classification tree using random forest (Random Forest). Model selection was done through a comparison of accuracies and computational efficiency. Support vector machine (SVM) with linear kernel was significantly best with an accuracy of 83% compared to the rest. Using only a small portion of the dataset, we managed to attain reasonable accuracy in our models by applying the TF-IDF transformation and Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) technique to our TDM.

AbstractNon-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) generally has a good prognosis; however, recurrence after transurethral resection (TUR), the standard primary treatment, is a major problem. Clinical management after TUR has been based on risk classification using clinicopathological factors, but these classifications are not complete. In this study, we attempted to predict early recurrence of NMIBC based on machine learning of quantitative morphological features. In general, structural, cellular, and nuclear atypia are evaluated to determine cancer atypia. However, since it is difficult to accurately quantify structural atypia from TUR specimens, in this study, we used only nuclear atypia and analyzed it using feature extraction followed by classification using Support Vector Machine and Random Forest machine learning algorithms. For the analysis, 125 patients diagnosed with NMIBC were used; data from 95 patients were randomly selected for the training set, and data from 30 patients were randomly selected for the test set. The results showed that the support vector machine-based model predicted recurrence within 2 years after TUR with a probability of 90% and the random forest-based model with probability of 86.7%. In the future, the system can be used to objectively predict NMIBC recurrence after TUR.


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 %.

Several methods have been tried to estimate air temperature using satellite imagery. In this paper, the results of two machine learning algorithms, Support Vector Machine and Random Forest, are compared with Multivariate Linear Regression, TVX and Ordinary kriging. Several geographic, remote sensing and time variables are used as predictors. The validation is carried out using four different statistics on a daily basis allowing the use of ANOVA to compare the results. The main conclusion is that Random Forest with residual kriging produces the best results (R$^2$=0.612 $\pm$ 0.019, NSE=0.578 $\pm$ 0.025, RMSE=1.068 $\pm$ 0.027, PBIAS=-0.172 $\pm$ 0.046), whereas TVX produces the least accurate results. The environmental conditions in the study area are not really suited to TVX, moreover this method only takes into account satellite data. On the other hand, regression methods (Support Vector Machine, Random Forest and Multivariate Linear Regression) use several parameters that are easily calculated from a Digital Elevation Model, adding very little difficulty to the use of satellite data alone. The most important variables in the Random Forest Model were satellite temperature, potential irradiation and cdayt, a cosine transformation of the julian day.

Abstract Introduction Out of all patients admitted with Myocardial Infarction, 10 to 15% have Myocardial Infarction with Non-Obstructive Coronaries Arteries (MINOCA). Classification algorithms based on deep learning substantially exceed traditional diagnostic algorithms. Therefore, numerous machine learning models have been proposed as useful tools for the detection of various pathologies, but to date no study has proposed a diagnostic algorithm for MINOCA. Purpose The aim of this study was to estimate the diagnostic accuracy of several automated learning algorithms (Support-Vector Machine [SVM], Random Forest [RF] and Logistic Regression [LR]) to discriminate between people suffering from MINOCA from those with Myocardial Infarction with Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease (MICAD) at the time of admission and before performing a coronary angiography, whether invasive or not. Methods A Diagnostic Test Evaluation study was carried out applying the proposed algorithms to a database constituted by 553 consecutive patients admitted to our Hospital with Myocardial Infarction. According to the definitions of 2016 ESC Position Paper on MINOCA, patients were classified into two groups: MICAD and MINOCA. Out of the total 553 patients, 214 were discarded due to the lack of complete data. The set of machine learning algorithms was trained on 244 patients (training sample: 75%) and tested on 80 patients (test sample: 25%). A total of 64 variables were available for each patient, including demographic, clinical and laboratorial features before the angiographic procedure. Finally, the diagnostic precision of each architecture was taken. Results The most accurate classification model was the Random Forest algorithm (Specificity [Sp] 0.88, Sensitivity [Se] 0.57, Negative Predictive Value [NPV] 0.93, Area Under the Curve [AUC] 0.85 [CI 0.83–0.88]) followed by the standard Logistic Regression (Sp 0.76, Se 0.57, NPV 0.92 AUC 0.74 and Support-Vector Machine (Sp 0.84, Se 0.38, NPV 0.90, AUC 0.78) (see graph). The variables that contributed the most in order to discriminate a MINOCA from a MICAD were the traditional cardiovascular risk factors, biomarkers of myocardial injury, hemoglobin and gender. Results were similar when the 19 patients with Takotsubo syndrome were excluded from the analysis. Conclusion A prediction system for diagnosing MINOCA before performing coronary angiographies was developed using machine learning algorithms. Results show higher accuracy of diagnosing MINOCA than conventional statistical methods. This study supports the potential of machine learning algorithms in clinical cardiology. However, further studies are required in order to validate our results. FUNDunding Acknowledgement Type of funding sources: None. ROC curves of different algorithms

The copper mining industry is increasingly using artificial intelligence methods to improve copper production processes. Recent studies reveal the use of algorithms, such as Artificial Neural Network, Support Vector Machine, and Random Forest, among others, to develop models for predicting product quality. Other studies compare the predictive models developed with these machine learning algorithms in the mining industry as a whole. However, not many copper mining studies published compare the results of machine learning techniques for copper recovery prediction. This study makes a detailed comparison between three models for predicting copper recovery by leaching, using four datasets resulting from mining operations in Northern Chile. The algorithms used for developing the models were Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, and Artificial Neural Network. To validate these models, four indicators or values of merit were used: accuracy (acc), precision (p), recall (r), and Matthew’s correlation coefficient (mcc). This paper describes the dataset preparation and the refinement of the threshold values used for the predictive variable most influential on the class (the copper recovery). Results show both a precision over 98.50% and also the model with the best behavior between the predicted and the real values. Finally, the obtained models have the following mean values: acc = 0.943, p = 88.47, r = 0.995, and mcc = 0.232. These values are highly competitive when compared with those obtained in similar studies using other approaches in the context.


Current global huge cyber protection attacks resulting from Infected Encryption ransomware structures over all international locations and businesses with millions of greenbacks lost in paying compulsion abundance. This type of malware encrypts consumer files, extracts consumer files, and charges higher ransoms to be paid for decryption of keys. An attacker could use different types of ransomware approach to steal a victim's files. Some of ransomware attacks like Scareware, Mobile ransomware, WannaCry, CryptoLocker, Zero-Day ransomware attack etc. A zero-day vulnerability is a software program security flaw this is regarded to the software seller however doesn’t have patch in vicinity to restore a flaw. Despite the fact that machine learning algorithms are already used to find encryption Ransomware. This is based on the analysis of a large number of PE file data Samples (benign software and ransomware utility) makes use of supervised machine learning algorithms for ascertain Zero-day attacks. This work was done on a Microsoft Windows operating system (the most attacked os through encryption ransomware) and estimated it. We have used four Supervised learning Algorithms, Random Forest Classifier , K-Nearest Neighbor, Support Vector Machine and Logistic Regression. Tests using machine learning algorithms evaluate almost null false positives with a 99.5% accuracy with a random forest algorithm.
