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.

Human Activity Recognition (HAR) is one of the main research fields in pattern recognition. In recent years, machine learning and deep learning have played important roles in Artificial Intelligence (AI) fields, and are proven to be very successful in classification tasks of HAR. However, there are two drawbacks of the mainstream frameworks: 1) all inputs are processed with the same parameters, which would cause the framework to incorrectly assign an unrealistic label to the object; 2) these frameworks lack generality in different application scenarios. In this paper, an adaptive multi-state pipe framework based on Set Pair Analysis (SPA) is presented, where pipes are mainly divided into three kinds of types: main pipe, sub-pipe and fusion pipe. In the main pipe, the input of classification tasks is preprocessed by SPA to obtain the Membership Belief Matrix (MBM). The sub-pipe shunt processing is performed according to the membership belief. The results are merged through the fusion pipe in the end. To test the performance of the proposed framework, we attempt to find the best configuration set that yields the optimal performance and evaluate the effectiveness of the new approach on the popular benchmark dataset WISDM. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed framework can get the good performance by achieving a result of 1.4% test error.

Concepts like Machine Learning, Data Mining or Artificial Intelligence have become part of our daily life. This is mostly due to the incredible advances made in computation (hardware and software), the increasing capabilities of generating and storing all types of data and, especially, the benefits (societal and economical) that generate the analysis of such data. Simultaneously, Chemometrics has played an important role since the late 1970s, analyzing data within natural science (and especially in Analytical Chemistry). Even with the strong parallelisms between all of the abovementioned terms and being popular with most of us, it is still difficult to clearly define or differentiate the meaning of Machine Learning, Data Mining, Artificial Intelligence, Deep Learning and Chemometrics. This manuscript brings some light to the definitions of Machine Learning, Data Mining, Artificial Intelligence and Big Data Analysis, defines their application ranges and seeks an application space within the field of analytical chemistry (a.k.a. Chemometrics). The manuscript is full of personal, sometimes probably subjective, opinions and statements. Therefore, all opinions here are open for constructive discussion with the only purpose of Learning (like the Machines do nowadays).

In psychiatry, compared to other medical fields, the identification of biological markers that would complement current clinical interview, and enable more objective and faster clinical diagnosis, implement accurate monitoring of treatment response and remission, is grave. Current technological development enables analyses of various biological marks in high throughput scale at reasonable costs, and therefore ‘omic’ studies are entering the psychiatry research. However, big data demands a whole new plethora of skills in data processing, before clinically useful information can be extracted. So far the classical approach to data analysis did not really contribute to identification of biomarkers in psychiatry, but the extensive amounts of data might get to a higher level, if artificial intelligence in the shape of machine learning algorithms would be applied. Not many studies on machine learning in psychiatry have been published, but we can already see from that handful of studies that the potential to build a screening portfolio of biomarkers for different psychopathologies, including suicide, exists.

Large-scale adoption of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI-ML) models fed by heterogeneous, possibly untrustworthy data sources has spurred interest in estimating degradation of such models due to spurious, adversarial, or low-quality data assets. We propose a quantitative estimate of the severity of classifiers’ training set degradation: an index expressing the deformation of the convex hulls of the classes computed on a held-out dataset generated via an unsupervised technique. We show that our index is computationally light, can be calculated incrementally and complements well existing ML data assets’ quality measures. As an experimentation, we present the computation of our index on a benchmark convolutional image classifier.

Michael Zeller, Ph.D. is the recipient of the 2020 ACM SIGKDD Service Award, which is the highest service award in the field of knowledge discovery and data mining. Conferred annually on one individual or group in recognition of outstanding professional services and contributions to the field of knowledge discovery and data mining, Dr. Zeller was honored for his years of service and many accomplishments as the secretary and treasurer for ACM SIGKDD, the organizing body of the annual KDD conference. Zeller is also head of AI strategy and solutions at Temasek, a global investment company seeking to make a difference always with tomorrow in mind. He sat down with SIGKDD Explorations to discuss how he first got involved in the KDD conference in 1999, what he learned from the first-ever virtual conference, his work at Temasek, and what excites him about the future of machine learning, data science and artificial intelligence.

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the correlation between the spread of the SARS-Cov-2 virus and a number of epidemiological parameters has been a key tool for understanding the dynamics of its flow. This information has assisted local authorities in making policy decisions for the containment of its expansion. Several methods have been used including topographical data, artificial intelligence and machine learning data, and epidemiological tools to analyze factors facilitating the spread of epidemic at a local and global scale. The aim of this study is to use a new tool to assess and categorize the incoming epidemiological data regarding the spread of the disease as per population densities, spatial and topographical morphologies, social and financial activities, population densities and mobility between regions. These data will be appraised as risk factors in the spread of the disease on a local and a global scale.
