The article analyzes the method of singular value decomposition (SVD) as an effective way to build a recommender system. With the development of information technologies and their introduction into public life, there is a need to search for accentuated information in conditions of uncertainty. To solve such problems, recently created intelligent recommendation systems [1]. The popularity of recommendation systems is growing in every segment of goods and services, in particular music. From a socio-economic point of view, such systems are the main tool for the dissemination of new compositions in the field of music promotes the promotion of these compositions in accordance with the preferences of the target audience and encourages users to purchase new music tracks. In addition, such systems significantly reduce the time and facilitate the search for appropriate musical compositions under conditions of uncertainty. The main problem in developing machine learning algorithms is the lack of an individual approach to each user. All recommendations are based on the statistical behavior of the majority, resulting in a percentage of people who do not receive recommendations that match their personal preferences. In the case of a separate analysis of each of the users and the implementation of recommendations in accordance with their personal use of Internet resources, the number of quality and more accurate proposals in the list of recommendations would increase significantly. Machine learning methods are effectively used to build recommendation systems, namely: the k-nearest neighbors method, the Bayesian algorithm and the singular matrix decomposition method. Among these methods, the SVD method is the most widely used in practice. This method is used to reduce the number of non-significant data set factors. Factors in recommendation systems are properties that describe the user or subject. In music recommendation systems, this can be a genre. SVD reduces the dimension of the matrix by removing its hidden factors.

Today the amount of information in the internet growth very rapidly and people need some instruments to find and access appropriate information. One of such tools is called recommendation system. Recommendation systems help to navigate quickly and receive necessary information. Many of us find it difficult to decide which movie to watch and so we decided to make a recommender system for us to better judge which movie we are more likely to love. In this project we are going to use Machine Learning Algorithms to recommend movies to users based on genres and user ratings. Recommendation system attempt to predict the preference or rating that a user would give to an item.

One of the most important physiological parameters of the cardiovascular circulatory system is Blood Pressure. Several diseases are related to long-term abnormal blood pressure, i.e., hypertension; therefore, the early detection and assessment of this condition are crucial. The identification of hypertension, and, even more the evaluation of its risk stratification, by using wearable monitoring devices are now more realistic thanks to the advancements in Internet of Things, the improvements of digital sensors that are becoming more and more miniaturized, and the development of new signal processing and machine learning algorithms. In this scenario, a suitable biomedical signal is represented by the PhotoPlethysmoGraphy (PPG) signal. It can be acquired by using a simple, cheap, and wearable device, and can be used to evaluate several aspects of the cardiovascular system, e.g., the detection of abnormal heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and so on. In this paper, we take into account the Cuff-Less Blood Pressure Estimation Data Set that contains, among others, PPG signals coming from a set of subjects, as well as the Blood Pressure values of the latter that is the hypertension level. Our aim is to investigate whether or not machine learning methods applied to these PPG signals can provide better results for the non-invasive classification and evaluation of subjects’ hypertension levels. To this aim, we have availed ourselves of a wide set of machine learning algorithms, based on different learning mechanisms, and have compared their results in terms of the effectiveness of the classification obtained.

Leukemia is a fatal cancer and has two main types: Acute and chronic. Each type has two more subtypes: Lymphoid and myeloid. Hence, in total, there are four subtypes of leukemia. This study proposes a new approach for diagnosis of all subtypes of leukemia from microscopic blood cell images using convolutional neural networks (CNN), which requires a large training data set. Therefore, we also investigated the effects of data augmentation for an increasing number of training samples synthetically. We used two publicly available leukemia data sources: ALL-IDB and ASH Image Bank. Next, we applied seven different image transformation techniques as data augmentation. We designed a CNN architecture capable of recognizing all subtypes of leukemia. Besides, we also explored other well-known machine learning algorithms such as naive Bayes, support vector machine, k-nearest neighbor, and decision tree. To evaluate our approach, we set up a set of experiments and used 5-fold cross-validation. The results we obtained from experiments showed that our CNN model performance has 88.25% and 81.74% accuracy, in leukemia versus healthy and multiclass classification of all subtypes, respectively. Finally, we also showed that the CNN model has a better performance than other wellknown machine learning algorithms.

Metabolic syndrome is a health condition that increases the risk of heart diseases, diabetes, and stroke. The prognostic variables that identify this syndrome have already been defined by the World Health Organization (WHO), the National Cholesterol Education Program Third Adult Treatment Panel (ATP III) as well as by the International Diabetes Federation. According to these guides, there is some symmetry among anthropometric prognostic variables to classify abdominal obesity in people with metabolic syndrome. However, some appear to be more sensitive than others, nevertheless, these proposed definitions have failed to appropriately classify a specific population or ethnic group. In this work, we used the ATP III criteria as the framework with the purpose to rank the health parameters (clinical and anthropometric measurements, lifestyle data, and blood tests) from a data set of 2942 participants of Mexico City Tlalpan 2020 cohort, applying machine learning algorithms. We aimed to find the most appropriate prognostic variables to classify Mexicans with metabolic syndrome. The criteria of sensitivity, specificity, and balanced accuracy were used for validation. The ATP III using Waist-to-Height-Ratio (WHtR) as an anthropometric index for the diagnosis of abdominal obesity achieved better performance in classification than waist or body mass index. Further work is needed to assess its precision as a classification tool for Metabolic Syndrome in a Mexican population.

Nowadays, smart devices have become a part of ourlives, hold our data, and are used for sensitive transactions likeinternet banking, mobile banking, etc. Therefore, it is crucial tosecure the data in these smart devices from theft or misplacement.The majority of the devices are secured with password/PINbaseduser authentication methods, which are already proveda less secure or easily guessable user authentication method.An alternative technique for securing smart devices is keystrokedynamics. Keystroke dynamics (KSD) is behavioral biometrics,which uses a natural typing pattern unique in every individualand difficult to fake or replicates that pattern. This paperproposes a user authentication model based on KSD as an additionalsecurity method for increasing the smart devices’ securitylevel. In order to analyze the proposed model, an android-basedapplication has been implemented for collecting data from fakeand genuine users. Six machine learning algorithms have beentested on the collected data set to study their suitability for usein the keystroke dynamics-based authentication model.

Many e-commerce websites use recommendation systems to recommend products to users to boost sales and user experience. These recommendations do not always come from the same recommendation engine. Websites can use multiple recommender models that use different machine learning algorithms and neural networks to compute these recommendations. There arises a need for a machine learning pipeline that will help orchestrate all the steps required to compute and display recommendations. The pipeline handles training a model using content-based approach, storing it with required metadata, loading it, precomputing recommendations, collecting user metrics, analysing the metrics and retraining the models with updated hyperparameters if required. Without a pipeline to automate and streamline the process, much of the work must be done manually.

Abstract Machine learning algorithms hold the promise of greatly improving live cell image analysis by way of (1) analyzing far more imagery than can be achieved by more traditional manual approaches and (2) by eliminating the subjective nature of researchers and diagnosticians selecting the cells or cell features to be included in the analyzed data set. Currently, however, even the most sophisticated model based or machine learning algorithms require user supervision, meaning the subjectivity problem is not removed but rather incorporated into the algorithm’s initial training steps and then repeatedly applied to the imagery. To address this roadblock, we have developed a self-supervised machine learning algorithm that recursively trains itself directly from the live cell imagery data, thus providing objective segmentation and quantification. The approach incorporates an optical flow algorithm component to self-label cell and background pixels for training, followed by the extraction of additional feature vectors for the automated generation of a cell/background classification model. Because it is self-trained, the software has no user-adjustable parameters and does not require curated training imagery. The algorithm was applied to automatically segment cells from their background for a variety of cell types and five commonly used imaging modalities - fluorescence, phase contrast, differential interference contrast (DIC), transmitted light and interference reflection microscopy (IRM). The approach is broadly applicable in that it enables completely automated cell segmentation for long-term live cell phenotyping applications, regardless of the input imagery’s optical modality, magnification or cell type.
