scholarly journals Analysis of training accompaniment needs through prediction models assisted by machine learning

The purpose of this study is to analyze tendencies in the needs of students in accompaniment in a perspective of prediction of the measures to be taken during the training. This approach consists in measuring, with adapted prediction models, the tendencies of accompaniment needs in three areas of competence of the training: competencies practices, written competencies and oral competencies. To this end, the accuracy of the models in these three areas of competence must be verified in order to classify their prediction parameters. In a first step we used data modeling of machine learning with data partitioning, 70% learning, 30% testing of all data. Then we compared the predictive models (SVM, Neural Network, Bayasian Network, CART, CHAID, C5) using the global precision index. This allowed us to select the best model based on its accuracy performance in the three areas of expertise already mentioned.

Audible noise prediction is a hot research area in power transmission engineering in recent years, especially come down to AC transmission lines. The conventional prediction models at present have got some problems such as big errors. In this paper, a prediction model is established based on BP network, in which the input variables are the four factors in the international common expression of power line audible noise and the noise value is the output. Take multiple measured power lines as an example, a train is made by the BP network and then the prediction model is set up in the hidden layer of the network. Using the trained model, the audible noise values are predicted. The final results show that the average absolute error in absolute terms of the values by the audible noise prediction model based on BP neural network is 1.6414 less than that predicted by the GE formula.

Because of high fluctuations of tourism demand, accurate predictions of tourist arrivals are of high importance for tourism organizations. The study at hand presents an approach to enhance autoregressive prediction models by including travelers’ web search traffic as external input attribute for tourist arrival prediction. The study proposes a novel method to identify relevant search terms and to aggregate them into a compound web-search index, used as additional input of an autoregressive prediction approach. As methods to predict tourism arrivals, the study compares autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models with the machine learning–based technique artificial neural network (ANN). Study results show that (1) Google Trends data, mirroring traveler’s online search behavior (i.e., big data information source), significantly increase the performance of tourist arrival prediction compared to autoregressive approaches using past arrivals alone, and (2) the machine learning technique ANN has the capacity to outperform ARIMA models.

Abstract Wind farm needs prediction models for predictive maintenance. There is a need to predict values of non-observable parameters beyond ranges reflected in available data. A prediction model developed for one machine many not perform well in another similar machine. This is usually due to lack of generalizability of data-driven models. To increase generalizability of predictive models, this research integrates the data mining with first-principle knowledge. Physics-based principles are combined with machine learning algorithms through feature engineering, strong rules and divide-and-conquer. The proposed synergy concept is illustrated with the wind turbine blade icing prediction and achieves significant prediction accuracy across different turbines. The proposed process is widely accepted by wind energy predictive maintenance practitioners because of its simplicity and efficiency. Furthermore, the testing scores of KNN, CART and DNN algorithm are increased by 44.78%, 32.72% and 9.13% with our proposed process. We demonstrated the importance of embedding physical principles within the machine learning process, and also highlight an important point that the need for more complex machine learning algorithms in industrial big data mining is often much less than it is in other applications, making it essential to incorporate physics and follow “Less is More” philosophy.

Abstract A new sales forecasting model based on an Improved Immune Genetic Algorithm (IIGA), IIGA that optimizes the BPNN (IIGA-BP) has been proposed. The IIGA presents a new way of population initialization, a regulatory mechanism of antibody concentration, and a design method of adaptive crossover operator and mutation operator, which effectively improved the convergence ability and optimization anility of IIGA. And IIGA can optimize the BPNN’s initial weights and threshold and improve the randomness of network parameters as well as the drawbacks that lead to output instability of BPNN and easiness into local minimum value. It taking the past records of sales figures of a certain steel enterprise as an example, utilizing the Matlab to construct the BP neural network, Immune Genetic Algorithm that optimizes the BPNN (IGA-BP), IGA-BP neural network, and IIGA-BP neural network prediction models for simulation and comparative analysis. The experiment demonstrates that IIGA-BP neural network prediction model possessing a higher prediction accuracy and more stable prediction effects.

Machine learning techniques are being increasingly used in the analysis of clinical and omics data. This increase is primarily due to the advancements in Artificial intelligence (AI) and the build-up of health-related big data. In this paper we have aimed at estimating the likelihood of adverse drug reactions or events (ADRs) in the course of drug discovery using various machine learning methods. We have also described a novel machine learning-based framework for predicting the likelihood of ADRs. Our framework combines two distinct datasets, drug-induced gene expression profiles from Open TG–GATEs (Toxicogenomics Project–Genomics Assisted Toxicity Evaluation Systems) and ADR occurrence information from FAERS (FDA [Food and Drug Administration] Adverse Events Reporting System) database, and can be applied to many different ADRs. It incorporates data filtering and cleaning as well as feature selection and hyperparameters fine tuning. Using this framework with Deep Neural Networks (DNN), we built a total of 14 predictive models with a mean validation accuracy of 89.4%, indicating that our approach successfully and consistently predicted ADRs for a wide range of drugs. As case studies, we have investigated the performances of our prediction models in the context of Duodenal ulcer and Hepatitis fulminant, highlighting mechanistic insights into those ADRs. We have generated predictive models to help to assess the likelihood of ADRs in testing novel pharmaceutical compounds. We believe that our findings offer a promising approach for ADR prediction and will be useful for researchers in drug discovery.

BACKGROUND Neonatal sepsis is associated with most cases of mortalities and morbidities in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Many studies have developed prediction models for the early diagnosis of bloodstream infections in newborns, but there are limitations to data collection and management because these models are based on high-resolution waveform data. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine the feasibility of a prediction model by using noninvasive vital sign data and machine learning technology. METHODS We used electronic medical record data in intensive care units published in the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III clinical database. The late-onset neonatal sepsis (LONS) prediction algorithm using our proposed forward feature selection technique was based on NICU inpatient data and was designed to detect clinical sepsis 48 hours before occurrence. The performance of this prediction model was evaluated using various feature selection algorithms and machine learning models. RESULTS The performance of the LONS prediction model was found to be comparable to that of the prediction models that use invasive data such as high-resolution vital sign data, blood gas estimations, blood cell counts, and pH levels. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the 48-hour prediction model was 0.861 and that of the onset detection model was 0.868. The main features that could be vital candidate markers for clinical neonatal sepsis were blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and body temperature. Feature generation using kurtosis and skewness of the features showed the highest performance. CONCLUSIONS The findings of our study confirmed that the LONS prediction model based on machine learning can be developed using vital sign data that are regularly measured in clinical settings. Future studies should conduct external validation by using different types of data sets and actual clinical verification of the developed model.

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to develop a predictive model for length of stay (LOS) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Between 2013 and 2014, 1,826 patients who underwent TKA from a single Singapore center were enrolled in the study after qualification. Demographics of patients with normal and prolonged LOS were analyzed. The risk variables that could affect LOS were identified by univariate analysis. Predictive models for LOS after TKA by logistic regression or machine learning were constructed and compared. The univariate analysis showed that age, American Society of Anesthesiologist level, diabetes, ischemic heart disease, congestive heart failure, general anesthesia, and operation duration were risk factors that could affect LOS (p < 0.05). Comparing with logistic regression models, the machine learning model with all variables was the best model to predict LOS after TKA, of whose area of operator characteristic curve was 0.738. Machine learning algorithms improved the predictive performance of LOS prediction models for TKA patients.

Models for machine learning can be categorized roughly into two groups: symbolic and non-symbolic Generally speaking, symbolic model based learning can provide understandable results, but cannot adapt to changing environments efficiently. On the other hand, non-symbolic model based learning can adapt to changing environments, but the results are usually "black-boxes”. In our study, we introduced a hybrid model called neural network tree (NNTree). An NNTree is a decision tree (DT) with each non-terminal node containing an expert neural network (ENN). Results obtained so far show that an NNTree can be re-trained incrementally using new data. In addition, an NNTree can be interpreted easily if we restrict the number of inputs for each ENN. Thus, it is possible to perform recognition, learning and understand using the NNTree model alone.
