Specialty coffees have a big importance in the economic scenario, and its sensory quality is appreciated by the productive sector and by the market. Researches have been constantly carried out in the search for better blends in order to add value and differentiate prices according to the product quality. To accomplish that, new methodologies must be explored, taking into consideration factors that might differentiate the particularities of each consumer and/or product. Thus, this article suggests the use of the machine learning technique in the construction of supervised classification and identification models. In a sensory evaluation test for consumer acceptance using four classes of specialty coffees, applied to four groups of trained and untrained consumers, features such as flavor, body, sweetness and general grade were evaluated. The use of machine learning is viable because it allows the classification and identification of specialty coffees produced in different altitudes and different processing methods.


In order to take notes of the speech delivered by the VIPs in the short time short hand language is employed. Mainly there are two shorthand languages namely Pitman and Teeline. An automatic shorthand language recognition system is essential in order to make use of the handheld devices for speedy conversion to the original text. The paper addresses and compares the recognition of the Teeline alphabets using the Machine learning (SVM and KNN) and deep learning (CNN) techniques. The dataset has been prepared using the digital pen and the same is processed and stored using the android application. The prepared dataset is fed to the proposed system and accuracy of recognition is compared. Deep learning technique gave higher accuracy compared to machine learning techniques. MATLAB 2018b platform is used for implementation of the experimental setup.


Now days when someone decide to book a hotel, previous online reviews of the hotels play a major role in determining the best hotel within the budget of the customer. Previous Online reviews are the most important motivation for the information that are used to analyse public opinion. Because of the high impact of the reviews on business, hotel owners are always highly concerned and focused about the customer feedback and past online reviews. But all reviews are not true and trustworthy, sometime few people may intentionally generate the fake reviews to make some hotel famous of to defame. Therefore it is essential to develop and propose the techniques for analysis of reviews. With the help of various machine learning techniques viz. Supervised machine learning technique, Text mining, Unsupervised machine learning technique, Semi-supervised learning, Reinforcement learning etc we may detect the fake reviews. This paper gives some notions of using machine learning techniques in analysis of past online reviews of hotels, Based on the observation it also suggest the optimal machine learning technique for a particular situation

EEG signals are a relevant indicator for measuring aspects related to human factors in Software Engineering. EEG is used in software engineering to train machine learning techniques for a wide range of applications, including classifying task difficulty, and developers’ level of experience. The EEG signal contains noise such as abnormal readings, electrical interference, and eye movements, which are usually not of interest to the analysis, and therefore contribute to the lack of precision of the machine learning techniques. However, research in software engineering has not evidenced the effectiveness when applying these filters on EEG signals. The objective of this work is to analyze the effectiveness of filters on EEG signals in the software engineering context. As literature did not focus on the classification of developers’ code comprehension, this study focuses on the analysis of the effectiveness of applying EEG filters for training a machine learning technique to classify developers' code comprehension. A Random Forest (RF) machine learning technique was trained with filtered EEG signals to classify the developers' code comprehension. This study also trained another random forest classifier with unfiltered EEG data. Both models were trained using 10-fold cross-validation. This work measures the classifiers' effectiveness using the f-measure metric. This work used the t-test, Wilcoxon, and U Mann Whitney to analyze the difference in the effectiveness measures (f-measure) between the classifier trained with filtered EEG and the classifier trained with unfiltered EEG. The tests pointed out that there is a significant difference after applying EEG filters to classify developers' code comprehension with the random forest classifier. The conclusion is that the use of EEG filters significantly improves the effectivity to classify code comprehension using the random forest technique.

Abstract Recent advances in Deep Neural Network (DNN) architectures have received a great deal of attention due to their ability to outperform state-of-the-art machine learning techniques across a wide range of application, as well as automating the feature engineering process. In this paper, we broadly study the applicability of deep learning to website fingerprinting. First, we show that unsupervised DNNs can generate lowdimensional informative features that improve the performance of state-of-the-art website fingerprinting attacks. Second, when used as classifiers, we show that they can exceed performance of existing attacks across a range of application scenarios, including fingerprinting Tor website traces, fingerprinting search engine queries over Tor, defeating fingerprinting defenses, and fingerprinting TLS-encrypted websites. Finally, we investigate which site-level features of a website influence its fingerprintability by DNNs.

Bitcoin is one of the primary computerized monetary forms to utilize peer innovation to work with moment installments. The free people and organizations who own the overseeing figuring control and take part in the bitcoin network—bitcoin miners— are accountable for preparing the exchanges on the blockchain and are persuaded by remunerations (the arrival of new bitcoin) and exchange charges paid in bitcoin. These excavators can be considered as the decentralized authority implementing the believability of the bitcoin network. New bitcoin is delivered to the excavators at a fixed yet occasionally declining rate. There is just 21 million bitcoin that can be mine altogether. As of January 30, 2021, there are around 18,614,806 bitcoin in presence and 2,385,193 bitcoin left to be mined. This paper will predict the nature of bitcoin price because, according to the reports of the past few years. The year 2020-present appeared to be a good time for bitcoin because, in this time duration, bitcoin has seen huge ups and downs. This paper will use various Machine Learning Techniques for the predictive analysis of bitcoin to accurately predict the price's nature. As the price of bitcoin depends upon various factors and these factors directly affect the price, i.e., multiple factors of bitcoin are dependent on each other. After analyzing the results from multiple research papers and review papers, we discovered each algorithm has its advantages and disadvantages while predicting the bitcoin value. Keeping in mind all the findings, we will find algorithms that predict the bitcoin price accurately and without fewer disadvantages. So, if we go as per assumptions, regression would be the best choice for predicting the bitcoin value, but there are others algorithms also. So, in this paper, we will see the results of the multiple algorithms and then choose the correct algorithm after analyzing the results of all the implemented algorithms. This paper also includes the implementation of the comparison charts with each algorithm so that it will be easy to analyze the findings of each algorithm.

Abstract Predicting the emotional responses of humans to soundscapes is a relatively recent field of research coming with a wide range of promising applications. This work presents the design of two convolutional neural networks, namely ArNet and ValNet, each one responsible for quantifying arousal and valence evoked by soundscapes. We build on the knowledge acquired from the application of traditional machine learning techniques on the specific domain, and design a suitable deep learning framework. Moreover, we propose the usage of artificially created mixed soundscapes, the distributions of which are located between the ones of the available samples, a process that increases the variance of the dataset leading to significantly better performance. The reported results outperform the state of the art on a soundscape dataset following Schafer’s standardized categorization considering both sound’s identity and the respective listening context.
