The aim of this paper is twofold: Firstly, to provide introductory knowledge to the reader who has little or no knowledge of machine learning with examples of applications in clinical and biomedical domains, and secondly, to compare and contrast the concept of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and the Qur’anic concept of intellect (aql) in the Qur’an. Learning algorithm can generally be categorised into supervised and unsupervised learning. To better understand the machine learning concept, hypothetical data of glaucoma cases are presented. ANN is then selected as an example of supervised learning and the underlying principles in ANN are presented with general audience in mind with an attempt to relate the mechanism employed in the algorithm with Qur’anic verses containing the verbs derived from aql. The applications of machine learning in clinical and biomedical domains are briefly demonstrated based on the author’s own research and most recent examples available from University of California, Irvine Machine Learning Repository. Selected verses which indicate motivation to use the intellect in positive manners and rebuke to those who do not activate the intellect are presented. The evidence found from the verses suggests that ANN shares similar learning process to achieve belief (iman) by analysing the similitudes (amsal) introduced to the algorithm.

In today's world, a huge amount of data is available. So, all the available data are analyzed to get information, and later this data is used to train the machine learning algorithm. Machine learning is a subpart of artificial intelligence where machines are given training with data and the machine predicts the results. Machine learning is being used in healthcare, image processing, marketing, etc. The aim of machine learning is to reduce the work of the programmer by doing complex coding and decreasing human interaction with systems. The machine learns itself from past data and then predict the desired output. This chapter describes machine learning in brief with different machine learning algorithms with examples and about machine learning frameworks such as tensor flow and Keras. The limitations of machine learning and various applications of machine learning are discussed. This chapter also describes how to identify features in machine learning data.

Short-term wave forecasts are essential for the execution of marine operations. In this paper, an efficient and reliable physics-based machine learning (PBML) model is proposed to realize the multi-step-ahead forecasting of wave conditions (e.g., significant wave height Hs and peak wave period Tp). In the model, the primary variables in physics-based wave models (i.e., the wind forcing and initial wave boundary condition) are considered as inputs. Meanwhile, a machine learning algorithm (artificial neural network, ANN) is adopted to build an implicit relation between inputs and forecasted outputs of wave conditions. The computational cost of this data-driven model is obviously much lower than that of the differential-equation based physical model. A ten-year (from 2001 to 2010) dataset of every three hours at the North Sea center was used to assess the model performance in a small domain. The result reveals high reliability for one-day-ahead Hs forecasts, while that of Tp is slightly lower due to the weaker implicit relationships between the data. Overall, the PBML model can be conceived as an efficient tool for the multi-step-ahead forecasting of wave conditions, and thus has great potential for furthering assist decision-making during the execution of marine operations.

Applications of machine learning (ML) have been increasing widely in various fields like recommendation, fault identification and disease prediction. In ML, different algorithms were available and utilized in disease prediction such as heart disease prediction, cancer prediction and other forms disease prediction. In our proposed work, breast cancer prediction using ML has been implemented. Initially breast cancer images have been taken as input, preprocessing steps will be done to remove noisy and irrelevant data from image. Then 2D median filter is a nonlinear operation often used in image processing to reduce "salt and pepper" noise. To increase contrast of image contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization is used. Segmentation has been implemented and GLCM feature extraction is deployed based on this information classification is implemented. For accurate classification Artificial neural network (ANN) is used to predict whether the patient is affected by breast cancer or not. Compared to other existing method our method predicts results in accurate way.

Recent studies have reported the application of artificial neural network (ANN) techniques on data of inertial measurement units (IMUs) to predict ground reaction forces (GRFs), which could serve as quantitative indicators of sports performance or rehabilitation. The number of IMUs and their measurement locations are often determined heuristically, and the rationale underlying the selection of these parameter values is not discussed. Using the dynamic relationship between the center of mass (CoM), the GRFs and joint kinetics, we propose the CoM as a single measurement location with which to predict the dynamic data of the lower limbs, using an ANN. Data from seven subjects walking on a treadmill at various speeds were collected from a single IMU worn near the sacrum. The data was segmented by step and numerically processed for integration. Six segment angles of the stance and swing leg, three joint torques, and two GRFs were estimated from the kinematics of the CoM measured from a single IMU sensor, with fair accuracy. These results indicate the importance of the CoM as a dynamic determinant of multi-segment kinetics during walking. The tradeoff between data quantity and wearable convenience can be solved by utilizing a machine learning algorithm based on the dynamic characteristics of human walking.

The research work is to enhance the classification accuracy of the pulmonary nodules with the limited number of features extracted using Gray level co-occurrence matrix and linear binary pattern. The classification is done using the machine learning algorithm such as artificial neural network (ANN) and the random forest classifier (RF). In present, lung cancer seems to be the most deadly disease in the world which can be detected only after the computerized tomography (i.e., CT scan images of the person). Detecting the infected portion at the early period is the challenging task. Hence, the recent researchers where under the detection of pulmonary nodules to categorize it either as benign nodules which named as non-cancerous or as malignant nodules which are named as cancerous. When associated the results with the recent papers, the accuracy has been improved in classifying the lung nodules.

In this paper the use of machine learning (ML) is explored as an efficient tool for uncertainty quantification. A machine learning algorithm is developed to predict the peak cladding temperature (PCT) under the conditions of a large break loss of coolant accident given the various underlying uncertainties. The best estimate approach is used to simulate the thermal-hydraulic system of APR1400 large break loss of coolant accident (LBLOCA) scenario using the multidimensional reactor safety analysis code (MARS-KS) lumped parameter system code developed by Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI). To generate the database necessary to train the ML model, a set of uncertainty parameters derived from the phenomena identification and ranking table (PIRT) is propagated through the thermal hydraulic model using the Dakota-MARS uncertainty quantification framework. The developed ML model uses the database created by the uncertainty quantification framework along with Keras library and Talos optimization to construct the artificial neural network (ANN). After learning and validation, the ML model can predict the peak cladding temperature (PCT) reasonably well with a mean squared error (MSE) of ∼0.002 and R2 of ∼0.9 with 9 to 11 key uncertain parameters. As a bounding accident scenario analysis of the LBLOCA case paves the way to using machine learning as a decision making tool for design extension conditions as well as severe accidents.
