BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence is a relatively newer technology in the field of medical world. This science uses the machine – learning algorithm and computer software to aid in the diagnostics in medical and dental fields. It is a huge talking point in the field of technology which is spreading it’s wings in all possible sectors at a great speed. This field covers solutions from coaching solutions to diagnostics in medical field covering under the umbrella of all what can be achieved by machine and deep learning. CONTENT: In dentistry, artificial intelligence is creating a revolution in all sections from collection of data, creating algorithms for orthodontic procedures, diagnostic records in the aspect of radiographic data, three dimensional scans and cone beam computed tomography, CAD CAM systems for restorative and prosthetic purposes. Similarly continuous research is being done in the field of periodontics in terms of measuring bone loss, amount of plaque present and much more. CONCLUSION: The field of artificial technology with its varied applications will change the face of dentistry in the upcoming times. Artificial intelligence with its application of machine learning will change the face of dentistry in future.

ABSTRACT Introduction This research has resulted in a system of sensors and software for effectively adjusting prosthetic alignment with digital numeric control. We called this suite of technologies the Prosthesis Smart Alignment Tool (ProSAT) system. Materials and Methods The ProSAT system has three components: a prosthesis-embedded sensor, an alignment tool, and an Internet-connected alignment expert system application that utilizes machine learning to analyze prosthetic alignment. All components communicate via Bluetooth. Together, they provide for numerically controlled prosthesis alignment adjustment. The ProSAT components help diagnose and guide the correction of very subtle, difficult-to-see imbalances in dynamic gait. The sensor has been cross-validated against kinetic measurement in a gait laboratory, and bench testing was performed to validate the performance of the tool while adjusting a prosthetic socket based on machine learning analyses from the software application. Results The three-dimensional alignment of the prosthetic socket was measured pre- and postadjustment from two fiducial points marked on the anterior surface of the prosthetic socket. A coordinate measuring machine was used to derive an alignment angular offset from vertical for both conditions: pre- and postalignment conditions. Of interest is the difference in the angles between conditions. The ProSAT tool is only controlling the relative change made to the alignment, not an absolute position or orientation. Target alignments were calculated by the machine learning algorithm in the ProSAT software, based on input of kinetic data samples representing the precondition and where a real prosthetic misalignment condition was known a priori. Detected misalignments were converted by the software to a corrective adjustment in the prosthesis alignment being tested. We demonstrated that a user could successfully and quickly achieve target postalignment change within an average of 0.1°. Conclusions The accuracy of a prototype ProSAT system has been validated for controlled alignment changes by a prosthetist. Refinement of the ergonomic form and technical function of the hardware and clinical usability of the mobile software application are currently being completed with benchtop experiments in advance of further human subject testing of alignment efficiency, accuracy, and user experience.


COVID-19 has become a pandemic affecting the most of countries in the world. One of the most difficult decisions doctors face during the Covid-19 epidemic is determining which patients will stay in hospital, and which are safe to recover at home. In the face of overcrowded hospital capacity and an entirely new disease with little data-based evidence for diagnosis and treatment, the old rules for determining which patients should be admitted have proven ineffective. But machine learning can help make the right decision early, save lives and lower healthcare costs. So, there is therefore an urgent and imperative need to collect data describing clinical presentations, risks, epidemiology and outcomes. On the other side, artificial intelligence(AI) and machine learning(ML) are considered a strong firewall against outbreaks of diseases and epidemics due to its ability to quickly detect, examine and diagnose these diseases and epidemics.AI is being used as a tool to support the fight against the epidemic that swept the entire world since the beginning of 2020.. This paper presents the potential for using data engineering, ML and AI to confront the Coronavirus, predict the evolution of disease outbreaks, and conduct research in order to develop a vaccine or effective treatment that protects humanity from these deadly diseases.

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.

With the great development of commodity economy, the packaging of goods has become an extremely important factor to get the advantages in the market competition. As to paper packaging, people are taking more and more attention on the design of Special-shaped Cartons.Limited by the three-dimensional way of paper, the carton CAD/CAM systems generally use the design process of "carton shape chose from the carton library →parameters set and modified →the 3D model established following the existing way", development for new carton shapes are still depended on the folding-test by the designer's hand. Design of the Carton Planar Structure usually has a time distance with Design of the Carton 3D Model, as a results, inconvenience to Special-shaped Carton designing was caused, and designers can not express their design ideas quickly and effectively.

This research work presents analysis of Modified Sarsa learning algorithm. Modified Sarsa algorithm.  State-Action-Reward-State-Action (SARSA) is an technique for learning a Markov decision process (MDP) strategy, used in for reinforcement learning int the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). The Modified SARSA Algorithm makes better actions to get better rewards.  Experiment are conducted to evaluate the performace for each agent individually. For result comparison among different agent, the same statistics were collected. This work considered varied kind of agents in different level of architecture for experiment analysis. The Fungus world testbed has been considered for experiment which is has been implemented using SwI-Prolog 5.4.6. The fixed obstructs tend to be more versatile, to make a location that is specific to Fungus world testbed environment. The various parameters are introduced in an environment to test a agent’s performance. This modified   SARSA learning algorithm can   be more suitable in EMCAP architecture.  The experiments are conducted the modified   SARSA Learning system gets   more rewards compare to existing  SARSA algorithm.

Abstract This paper has proposed a contactless voltage classification method for Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). With a three-dimensional radio-frequency based sensor called Walabot, voltage data of LIBs can be collected in a contactless way. Then three machine learning algorithm, that is, principal component analysis (PCA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and stochastic gradient descent (SGD) classifiers, have been employed for data processing. Experiments and comparison have been conducted to verify the proposed method. The colormaps of results and prediction accuracy show that LDA may be most suitable for LIBs voltage classification.
