Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are highly comorbid neurodevelopmental conditions. There is an ongoing debate regarding the nature of their overlap. Behavioral symptoms and cognitive profiles indicate differences between the conditions, but genetic studies and neuroimaging investigations suggest at least some shared etiology. The current study investigated if functional connectivity can be used to distinguish ADHD and ASD using a machine-learning approach. Towards this aim, we trained a machine learning algorithm to distinguish ASD and ADHD cases from each other and from comparison cases in a total sample of 805 cases, comprising of 243 ASD cases, 164 ADHD cases, and 398 comparison cases between 7 and 21 years of age. We compared the performance of the best performing machine learning algorithm (l2-regularised support vector classification) when classifying unseen cases of ADHD, ASD, and CMP. The results indicated lower classification performance when distinguishing ADHD from ASD compared to classifying diagnostic groups vs a typical comparison group. The model trained to distinguish ASD and comparison cases performed equally well when tasked with classifying ADHD vs CMP. A Bayesian analysis gave strong evidence for similarity ADHD and ASD. The ADHD and ASD group showed overlap in connections of the right ventral attention network, the salience network, and the default mode network. In sum, these results suggest a substantial overlap in functional brain connectivity between ADHD and ASD. We discuss the implications of these findings for the quest to identify functional neuroimaging biomarkers and provide recommendation for future research.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) classification using machine learning can help parents, caregivers, psychiatrists, and patients to obtain the results of early detection of ASD. In this study, the dataset used is the autism-spectrum quotient for child, adolescent and adult, namely AQ-child, AQ-adolescent, AQ-adult. This study aims to improve the sensitivity and specificity of previous studies so that the classification results of ASD are better characterized by the reduced misclassification. The algorithm applied in this study: support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), artificial neural network (ANN). The evaluation results using 10-fold cross validation showed that RF succeeded in producing higher adult AQ sensitivity, which was 87.89%. The increase in the specificity level of AQ-Adolescents is better produced using an SVM of 86.33%.


A large volume of datasets is available in various fields that are stored to be somewhere which is called big data. Big Data healthcare has clinical data set of every patient records in huge amount and they are maintained by Electronic Health Records (EHR). More than 80 % of clinical data is the unstructured format and reposit in hundreds of forms. The challenges and demand for data storage, analysis is to handling large datasets in terms of efficiency and scalability. Hadoop Map reduces framework uses big data to store and operate any kinds of data speedily. It is not solely meant for storage system however conjointly a platform for information storage moreover as processing. It is scalable and fault-tolerant to the systems. Also, the prediction of the data sets is handled by machine learning algorithm. This work focuses on the Extreme Machine Learning algorithm (ELM) that can utilize the optimized way of finding a solution to find disease risk prediction by combining ELM with Cuckoo Search optimization-based Support Vector Machine (CS-SVM). The proposed work also considers the scalability and accuracy of big data models, thus the proposed algorithm greatly achieves the computing work and got good results in performance of both veracity and efficiency.


In today’s world social media is one of the most important tool for communication that helps people to interact with each other and share their thoughts, knowledge or any other information. Some of the most popular social media websites are Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp and Wechat etc. Since, it has a large impact on people’s daily life it can be used a source for any fake or misinformation. So it is important that any information presented on social media should be evaluated for its genuineness and originality in terms of the probability of correctness and reliability to trust the information exchange. In this work we have identified the features that can be helpful in predicting whether a given Tweet is Rumor or Information. Two machine learning algorithm are executed using WEKA tool for the classification that is Decision Tree and Support Vector Machine.

By 2020 around 25-50 billion devices are likely to be connected to the internet. Due to this new development, it gives rise to something called Internet of Things (IoT). The interconnected devices can generate and share data over a network. Machine Learning plays a key role in IoT to handle the vast amount of data. It gives IoT and devices a brain to think, which is often called as intelligence. The data can be feed to machines for learning patterns, based on training the machines can identify to predict for the future. This paper gives a brief explanation of IoT. This paper gives a crisp explanation of machine learning algorithm and its types. However, Support Vector Machine (SVM) is explained in details along with its merits and demerits. An algorithm is also proposed for weather prediction using SVM for IoT.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been and remains one of the major challenges humanity has faced thus far. Over the past few months, large amounts of information have been collected that are only now beginning to be assimilated. In the present work, the existence of residual information in the massive numbers of rRT-PCRs that tested positive out of the almost half a million tests that were performed during the pandemic is investigated. This residual information is believed to be highly related to a pattern in the number of cycles that are necessary to detect positive samples as such. Thus, a database of more than 20,000 positive samples was collected, and two supervised classification algorithms (a support vector machine and a neural network) were trained to temporally locate each sample based solely and exclusively on the number of cycles determined in the rRT-PCR of each individual. Finally, the results obtained from the classification show how the appearance of each wave is coincident with the surge of each of the variants present in the region of Galicia (Spain) during the development of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and clearly identified with the classification algorithm.

From the beginning, machine learning methodology, which is the origin of artificial intelligence, has been rapidly spreading in the different research communities with successful outcomes. This chapter aims to introduce for system analysers and designers a comparatively new statistical supervised machine learning algorithm called support vector machine (SVM). We explain two useful areas of SVM, that is, classification and regression, with basic mathematical formulation and simple demonstration to make easy the understanding of SVM. Prospects and challenges of future research in this emerging area are also described. Future research of SVM will provide improved and quality access to the users. Therefore, developing an automated SVM system with state-of-the-art technologies is of paramount importance, and hence, this chapter will link up an important step in the system analysis and design perspective to this evolving research arena.

In recent years the popularity of anime has steadily grown. Similar to other forms of media consumers often face a pressing issue: “What do I watch next?”. In this study, we thoroughly examined the current method of solving this issue and determined that the learning curve to effectively utilize the current solution is too high. We developed a program to ensure easier answers to the issue. The program uses a Python-based machine learning algorithm from ScikitLearn and data from My Animelist to create an accurate model that delivers what consumers want, good recommendations [9]. We also carried out different experiments with several iterations to study the difference in accuracy when applying different factors. Through these tests, we have successfully created a reliable Support vector machine model with 57% accuracy in recommending users what to watch.


India is an agricultural country where most of people are depends on the agriculture. When Plants are infected by the virus, fungus and bacteria, they are mostly seen on leaves and stems of the plants. Because of that, plants production is decreased also economy of the country is decreased. The farmer has to identify the disease and decide which pesticide will be used to control the disease in plants. To finding out which disease affect the plants, the farmer contacts the expert for the solution. The expert gives the advice based on its knowledge and information but sometimes seeking the expert advice is time consuming, expensive and may be not accurate. So, to solve this problem, the image processing techniques and Machine Learning algorithm like Neural Network, Fuzzy Logic and Support Vector Machine gives the better, accurate and affordable solution to control the plants disease than manual method.
