This paper details development of a low-cost, small-size, and portable electronic nose (E-nose) for the prediction of the expiry date of food products. The Sensor array is composed of commercially available metal oxide semiconductors sensors like MQ2 sensor, temperature sensor, and humidity sensor, which were interfaced with the help of ESP8266 and Arduino Uno for data acquisition, storage, and analysis of the dataset consisting of the odor from the fruit at different ripening stages. The developed system is used to analyze gas sensor values from various fruits like bananas and tomatoes. Responding signals of the e-nose were extracted and analyzed. Based on the obtained data we applied a few machine learning algorithms to predict if a banana is stale or not. Logistic regression, Decision Tree Classifier, Support Vector Classifier (SVC) & K-Nearest Neighbours (KNN) classifiers were the binary classification algorithms used to determine whether the fruit became stale or not. We achieved an accuracy of 97.05%. These results prove that e-nose has the potential of assessing fruits and vegetable freshness and predict their expiry date, thus reducing food wastage.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacillus included among the six "ESKAPE" microbial species with an outstanding ability to "escape" currently used antibiotics and developing new antibiotics against it is of the highest priority. Whereas minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values against Pseudomonas aeruginosa have been used previously for QSAR model development, disk diffusion results (inhibition zones) have not been apparently used for this purpose in the literature, and we decided to explore their use in this sense. We developed multiple QSAR methods using several machine learning algorithms (Support vector classifier, K Nearest Neighbors, Random Forest Classifier, Decision Tree Classifier, AdaBoost Classifier, Logistic Regression, and Naive Bayes Classifier). The main descriptors used in building the models belonged to the families of adjacency matrix, constitutional descriptors, first highest eigenvalue of Burden matrix, centered Moreau-Broto autocorrelation, and averaged and centered Moreau-Broto autocorrelation descriptors. A total of 32 models were built, of which 28 were selected and stacked to create a meta-model. In terms of balanced accuracy, the best performance was provided by KNN, SVM and AdaBoost algorithms, but the ensemble method had slightly superior results in nested cross-validation.

We attempt to predict the accidental fall of human beings due to sudden abnormal changes in their health parameters such as blood pressure, heart rate, and sugar level. In medical terminology, this problem is known as Syncope. The primary motivation is to prevent such falls by predicting abnormal changes in these health parameters that might trigger a sudden fall. We apply various machine learning algorithms such as logistic regression, a decision tree classifier, a random forest classifier, K-Nearest Neighbours (KNN), a support vector machine, and a naive Bayes classifier on a relevant dataset and verify our results with the cross-validation method. We observe that the KNN algorithm provides the best accuracy in predicting such a fall. However, the accuracy results of some other algorithms are also very close. Thus, we move one step further and propose an ensemble model, Majority Voting, which aggregates the prediction results of multiple machine learning algorithms and finally indicates the probability of a fall that corresponds to a particular human being. The proposed ensemble algorithm yields 87.42% accuracy, which is greater than the accuracy provided by the KNN algorithm.

Since Academic institutions contain huge volume of data regarding students such as academic scores, scores in co and extracurricular activities, family annual income, family background and other supporting documents, predicting individual students performance in all aspects manually is a difficult task. The proposed work uses data mining techniques to identify students who are eligible for scholarships and other benefits. Students are classified into different categories by means of academic, behavior, extra and co-curricular activities. Machine Learning algorithms such as Naive Bayes, Decision Tree Classifier and Support Vector Machine are used for predicting the performance of the student. With the help of this proposed model parents and instructors can monitor student’s performance and they can also provide essential technical and moral support. Also this helps in providing academic scholarship and training to the students to support them financially and to enrich their knowledge. It suggests the Academic Institutions to organize induction or training programmes at the beginning of the semester. Technical training, motivational talks, Yoga, etc are organized by the institutions by keeping in mind of students physical and mental health. Considering the e-learning platforms huge volumes of data and plethora of information are generated. In this work, various learning models are constructed and their accuracies are compared to analyse which algorithm out-performs.

Regular inspection of railway track health is crucial for maintaining safe and reliable train operations. Factors, such as cracks, ballast issues, rail discontinuity, loose nuts and bolts, burnt wheels, superelevation, and misalignment developed on the rails due to non-maintenance, pre-emptive investigations and delayed detection, pose a grave danger and threats to the safe operation of rail transport. The traditional procedure of manually inspecting the rail track using a railway cart is both inefficient and prone to human error and biases. In a country like Pakistan where train accidents have taken many lives, it is not unusual to automate such approaches to avoid such accidents and save countless lives. This study aims at enhancing the traditional railway cart system to address these issues by introducing an automatic railway track fault detection system using acoustic analysis. In this regard, this study makes two important contributions: data collection on Pakistan railway tracks using acoustic signals and the application of various classification techniques to the collected data. Initially, three types of tracks are considered, including normal track, wheel burnt and superelevation, due to their common occurrence. Several well-known machine learning algorithms are applied such as support vector machines, logistic regression, random forest and decision tree classifier, in addition to deep learning models like multilayer perceptron and convolutional neural networks. Results suggest that acoustic data can help determine the track faults successfully. Results indicate that the best results are obtained by RF and DT with an accuracy of 97%.

A programming language is a computer language developers use to develop software programs, scripts, or other sets of instruction for computers to execute. It is difficult to determine which programming language is widely used. In our work, I have analyzed and compared the classification results of various machine learning models and find out which programming language is widely used by developers. I have used Support Vector Machine (SVM), K neighbor classifier (KNN),Decision Tree Classifier(CART) for our comparative study. My task is to analyze different data and to classify them for the efficiency of each algorithm in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 Score. My best accuracy was 94.29% percent which was found using SVM. These techniques are coded in python and executed in Jupyter NoteBook, the Scientific Python Development Environment. Our experiments have shown that SVM is the best for predictive analysis and from our study that SVM is the well-suited algorithm for the prediction of the most widely used programming language.

Accurate and timely collection of urban land use and land cover information is crucial for many aspects of urban development and environment protection. Very high-resolution (VHR) remote sensing images have made it possible to detect and distinguish detailed information on the ground. While abundant texture information and limited spectral channels of VHR images will lead to the increase of intraclass variance and the decrease of the interclass variance. Substantial studies on pixel-based classification algorithms revealed that there were some limitations on land cover information extraction with VHR remote sensing imagery when applying the conventional pixel-based classifiers. Aiming at evaluating the advantages of classifier ensemble strategies and object-based image analysis (OBIA) method for VHR satellite data classification under complex urban area, we present an approach-integrated multiscale segmentation OBIA and a mature classifier ensemble method named random forest. The framework was tested on Chinese GaoFen-1 (GF-1), and GF-2 VHR remotely sensed data over the central business district (CBD) of Zhengzhou metropolitan. Process flow of the proposed framework including data fusion, multiscale image segmentation, best optimal segmentation scale evaluation, multivariance texture feature extraction, random forest ensemble learning classifier construction, accuracy assessment, and time consumption. Advantages of the proposed framework were compared and discussed with several mature state-of-art machine learning algorithms such as the k -nearest neighbor (KNN), support vector machine (SVM), and decision tree classifier (DTC). Experimental results showed that the OA of the proposed method is up to 99.29% and 98.98% for the GF-1 dataset and GF-2 dataset, respectively. And the OA is increased by 26.89%, 11.79%, 11.89%, and 4.26% compared with the traditional machine learning algorithms such as the decision tree classifier (DTC), support vector machine (SVM), k -nearest neighbor (KNN), and random forest (RF) on the test of the GF-1 dataset; OA increased by 32.31%, 13.48%, 9.77%, and 7.72% for the GF-2 dataset. In terms of time consuming, by rough statistic, OBIA-RF spends 223.55 s, SVM spends 403.57 s, KNN spends 86.93 s, and DT spends 0.61 s on average of the GF-1 and GF-2 datasets. Taking the account classification accuracy and running time, the proposed method has good ability of generalization and robustness for complex urban surface classification with high-resolution remotely sensed data.

We developed multiple QSAR methods using several machine learning algorithms (support vector classifier, K nearest neighbors, random forest classifier, decision tree classifier, AdaBoost classifier, logistic regression and naïve Bayes classifier). We used four sets of molecular descriptors and fingerprints and three different methods of data balancing, together with the “native” data set. In total, 32 models were built for each set of descriptors or fingerprint and balancing method, of which 28 were selected and stacked to create meta-models. In terms of balanced accuracy, the best performance was provided by KNN, logistic regression and decision tree classifier, but the ensemble method had slightly superior results in nested cross-validation.

Activity recognition in humans is one of the active challenges that finds its application in numerous fields such as, medical health care, military, manufacturing, assistive techniques and gaming. Due to the advancements in technologies the usage of smartphones in human lives become inevitable. The sensors in the smartphones help us to measure the essential vital parameters. These measured parameters enable us to monitor the activities of humans, which we call as human activity recognition. In this paper, we have proposed an automatic human activity recognition system that independently recognizes the actions of the humans. Four deep learning approaches and thirteen different machine learning classifiers such as Multilayer Perceptron, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, Decision Tree Classifier, AdaBoost Classifier, Gradient Boosting Classifier and others are applied to identify the efficient classifier for human activity recognition. Our proposed system is able to recognize the activities such as Laying, Sitting, Standing, Walking, Walking downstairs and Walking upstairs. Benchmark dataset has been used to evaluate all the classifiers implemented. We have investigated all these classifiers to identify a best suitable classifier for this dataset. The results obtained show that, the Multilayer Perceptron has obtained 98.46% of overall accuracy in detecting the activities. The second-best performance was observed when the classifiers are combined together.

Automated defect detection of fruits using computer vision and machine learning concepts has ‎become a significant area of research. In ‎this work, working prototype hardware model of conveyor with PC is designed, constructed and implemented to analyze the fruit quality. The prototype consists of low-cost microcontrollers, USB camera and MATLAB user interface. The automated classification model rejects or accepts the fruit based on the quality i.e., good (ripe, unripe) and bad. For the classification of fruit quality, machine learning algorithms such as Support Vector Machine, KNN, Random Forest classifier, Decision Tree classifier and ANN are used. The dataset used in this work consists of the following fruit varieties i.e., apple, orange, tomato, guava, lemon, and pomegranate. We trained, tested and ‎compared the performance of these five machine learning approaches and found out that the ANN based fruit detection performs better. The overall accuracy obtained by the ANN model for the dataset is 95.6%. In addition, the response time of the system is 50 seconds per fruit which is very low. Therefore, it will be very suitable and useful for small-scale industries and farmers to grow up their business.
