The cancer patients are more vulnerable and are at increased risk of COVID-19 and related outcomes due to their weakened immune systems, specially patients with lung cancer. Amid pandemic, the diagnosis, treatment, and care of cancer patients are very difficult and challenging due to several factors. In such situations, the latest technology in artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning algorithms (ML) have potential to provide better diagnosis, treatments and cares of cancer patients. For example, the researches may use clinical and imaging data with machine learning techniques to make differences between coronavirus-related lung changes and those caused by immunotherapy and radiotherapy. During this pandemic, AI can be used to ensure we are getting the right patients enrolled speedily and more efficiently than the traditional, and complex ways in the past in cancer clinical trials. This is the appropriate time to go beyond the “research as usual” approach and update our research via AI and ML tools to care the cancer patients and discover new and more effective treatments.

The archeological sites are a heritage that we have gained from our ancestors. These sites are crucial for understanding the past and the way of life of people during those times. The monuments and the immovable relics of ancient times are a getaway to the past. The critical cultural relics however actually over the years have faced the brunt of nature. The environmental conditions have deteriorated the condition of many important immovable relics over the years since these could not be just shifted away. People also move around the ancient cultural relics that may also deform these relics. The machine learning algorithms were used to identify the location of the relics. The data from the satellite images were used and implemented machine learning algorithm to maintain and monitor the relics. This research study dwells into the importance of the area from a research point of view and utilizes machine learning techniques called CaffeNet and deep convolutional neural network. The result showed that 96% accuracy of predicting the image, which can be used for tracking human activity, protects heritage sites in a unique way.

BACKGROUND Echocardiography has a pivotal role in the diagnosis and management of cardiovascular diseases since it is real-time, cost-effective, and non-invasive. The development of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have led to more intelligent and automatic computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems in echocardiography over the past few years. Automatic CAD mainly includes classification, detection of anatomical structures, tissue segmentation, and disease diagnosis, which are mainly completed by machine learning techniques and the recent developed deep learning techniques. OBJECTIVE This review aims to provide a guide for researchers and clinicians on relevant aspects of AI, machine learning, and deep learning. In addition, we review the recent applications of these methods in echocardiography and identify how echocardiography could incorporate AI in the future. METHODS This paper first summarizes the overview of machine learning and deep learning. Second, it reviews current use of AI in echocardiography by searching literature in the main databases for the past 10 years and finally discusses potential limitations and challenges in the future. RESULTS AI has showed promising improvements in analysis and interpretation of echocardiography to a new stage in the fields of standard views detection, automated analysis of chamber size and function, and assessment of cardiovascular diseases. CONCLUSIONS Compared with machine learning, deep learning methods have achieved state-of-the-art performance across different applications in echocardiography. Although there are challenges such as the required large dataset, AI can provide satisfactory results by devising various strategies. We believe AI has the potential to improve accuracy of diagnosis, reduce time consumption, and decrease the load of cardiologists.

Machine learning is an approach of artificial intelligence (AI) where the machine can automatically learn and improve its performance on experience. It is not explicitly programmed; the data is fed into the generic algorithm and it builds logic based on the data provided. Traditional algorithms have to define new rules or massive rules when the pattern varies or the number of patterns increases, which reduces the accuracy or efficiency of the algorithms. But the machine learning algorithms learn new input patterns capable of handling complex situations while maintaining accuracy and efficiency. Due to its effectual benefits, machine learning algorithms are used in various domains like healthcare, industries, travel, game development, social media services, robotics, and surveillance and information security. In this chapter, the application of machine learning technique in healthcare is discussed in detail.

Money laundering is a pervasive legal and economic problem that hides criminal activity. Identifying money laundering is a priority for both banks and governments, thus, machine learning algorithms have emerged as a possible strategy to detect suspicious financial activity within financial institutions. We used traditional regression and supervised machine learning techniques to identify bank customers at an increased risk of committing money laundering. Specifically, we assessed whether model performance differed across varying operationalizations of the outcome (e.g., multinomial vs. binary classification) and determined whether the inclusion of investigator-derived novel features (e.g., averages across existing features) could improve model performance. We received two proprietary datasets from Scotiabank, a large bank headquartered in Canada. The datasets included customer account information (N = 4,469) and customers’ monthly transaction histories (N = 2,827) from April 15, 2019 to April 15, 2020. We implemented traditional logistic regression, logistic regression with LASSO regularization (LASSO), K-nearest neighbours (KNN), and extreme gradient boosted models (XGBoost). Results indicated that traditional logistic regression with a binary outcome, conducted with investigator-derived novel features, performed the best with an F1 score of 0.79 and accuracy of 0.72. Models with a binary outcome had higher accuracy than the multinomial models, but the F1 scores yielded mixed results. For KNN and XGBoost, we observed little change or worsening performance after the introduction of the investigator-derived novel features. However, the investigator-derived novel features improved model performance for LASSO and traditional logistic regression. Our findings demonstrate that investigators should consider different operationalizations of the outcome, where possible, and include novel features derived from existing features to potentially improve the detection of customer at risk of committing money laundering.

Machine learning is a popular way to find patterns and relationships in high complex datasets. With the nowadays advancements in storage and computational capabilities, some machine-learning techniques are becoming suitable for real-world applications. The aim of this work is to conduct a comparative analysis of machine learning algorithms and conventional statistical techniques. These methods have long been used for clustering large amounts of data and extracting knowledge in a wide variety of science fields. However, the central knowledge of the different methods and their specific requirements for the data set, as well as the limitations of the individual methods, are an obstacle for the correct use of these methods. New machine learning algorithms could be integrated even more strongly into the current evaluation if the right choice of methods were easier to make. In the present work, some different algorithms of machine learning are listed. Four methods (artificial neural network, regression method, self-organizing map, k-means al-algorithm) are compared in detail and possible selection criteria are pointed out. Finally, an estimation of the fields of work and application and possible limitations are provided, which should help to make choices for specific interdisciplinary analyses.
