The evaluation of buildings damage following disasters from natural hazards is a crucial step in determining the extent of the damage and measuring renovation needs. In this study, a combination of the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and light detection and ranging (LIDAR) data before and after the earthquake were used to assess the damage to buildings caused by the Kumamoto earthquake. For damage assessment, three variables including elevation difference (ELD) and texture difference (TD) in pre- and post-event LIDAR images and coherence difference (CD) in SAR images before and after the event were considered and their results were extracted. Machine learning algorithms including random forest (RDF) and the support vector machine (SVM) were used to classify and predict the rate of damage. The results showed that ELD parameter played a key role in identifying the damaged buildings. The SVM algorithm using the ELD parameter and considering three damage rates, including D0 and D1 (Negligible to slight damages), D2, D3 and D4 (Moderate to Heavy damages) and D5 and D6 (Collapsed buildings) provided an overall accuracy of about 87.1%. In addition, for four damage rates, the overall accuracy was about 78.1%.

This paper aims to apply and compare the performance of the three machine learning algorithms–support vector machine (SVM), bayesian logistic regression (BLR), and alternating decision tree (ADTree)–to map landslide susceptibility along the mountainous road of the Salavat Abad saddle, Kurdistan province, Iran. We identified 66 shallow landslide locations, based on field surveys, by recording the locations of the landslides by a global position System (GPS), Google Earth imagery and black-and-white aerial photographs (scale 1: 20,000) and 19 landslide conditioning factors, then tested these factors using the information gain ratio (IGR) technique. We checked the validity of the models using statistical metrics, including sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, kappa, root mean square error (RMSE), and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). We found that, although all three machine learning algorithms yielded excellent performance, the SVM algorithm (AUC = 0.984) slightly outperformed the BLR (AUC = 0.980), and ADTree (AUC = 0.977) algorithms. We observed that not only all three algorithms are useful and effective tools for identifying shallow landslide-prone areas but also the BLR algorithm can be used such as the SVM algorithm as a soft computing benchmark algorithm to check the performance of the models in future.

Introduction As an alternative to DNA microarrays, mass spectrometry based analysis of proteomic patterns has shown great potential in cancer diagnosis. The ultimate application of this technique in clinical settings relies on the advancement of the technology itself and the maturity of the computational tools used to analyze the data. A number of computational algorithms constructed on different principles are available for the classification of disease status based on proteomic patterns. Nevertheless, few studies have addressed the difference in the performance of these approaches. In this report, we describe a comparative case study on the classification accuracy of hepatocellular carcinoma based on the serum proteomic pattern generated from a Surface Enhanced Laser Desorption/Ionization (SELDI) mass spectrometer. Methods Nine supervised classification algorithms are implemented in R software and compared for the classification accuracy. Results We found that the support vector machine with radial function is preferable as a tool for classification of hepatocellular carcinoma using features in SELDI mass spectra. Among the rest of the methods, random forest and prediction analysis of microarrays have better performance. A permutation-based technique reveals that the support vector machine with a radial function seems intrinsically superior in learning from the training data since it has a lower prediction error than others when there is essentially no differential signal. On the other hand, the performance of the random forest and prediction analysis of microarrays rely on their capability of capturing the signals with substantial differentiation between groups. Conclusions Our finding is similar to a previous study, where classification methods based on the Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry are compared for the prediction accuracy of ovarian cancer. The support vector machine, random forest and prediction analysis of microarrays provide better prediction accuracy for hepatocellular carcinoma using SELDI proteomic data than six other approaches.

Glass Industry is considered one of the most important industries in the world. The Glass is used everywhere, from water bottles to X-Ray and Gamma Rays protection. This is a non-crystalline, amorphous solid that is most often transparent. There are lots of uses of glass, and during investigation in a crime scene, the investigators need to know what is type of glass in a scene. To find out the type of glass, we will use the online dataset and machine learning to solve the above problem. We will be using ML algorithms such as Artificial Neural Network (ANN), K-nearest neighbors (KNN) algorithm, Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm, Random Forest algorithm, and Logistic Regression algorithm. By comparing all the algorithm Random Forest did the best in glass classification.

Abstract: Fall is a significant national health issue for the elderly people, generally resulting in severe injuries when the person lies down on the floor over an extended period without any aid after experiencing a great fall. Thus, elders need to be cared very attentively. A supervised-machine learning based fall detection approach with accelerometer, gyroscope is devised. The system can detect falls by grouping different actions as fall or non-fall events and the care taker is alerted immediately as soon as the person falls. The public dataset SisFall with efficient class of features is used to identify fall. The Random Forest (RF) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) machine learning algorithms are employed to detect falls with lesser false alarms. The SVM algorithm obtain a highest accuracy of 99.23% than RF algorithm.

AbstractNon-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) generally has a good prognosis; however, recurrence after transurethral resection (TUR), the standard primary treatment, is a major problem. Clinical management after TUR has been based on risk classification using clinicopathological factors, but these classifications are not complete. In this study, we attempted to predict early recurrence of NMIBC based on machine learning of quantitative morphological features. In general, structural, cellular, and nuclear atypia are evaluated to determine cancer atypia. However, since it is difficult to accurately quantify structural atypia from TUR specimens, in this study, we used only nuclear atypia and analyzed it using feature extraction followed by classification using Support Vector Machine and Random Forest machine learning algorithms. For the analysis, 125 patients diagnosed with NMIBC were used; data from 95 patients were randomly selected for the training set, and data from 30 patients were randomly selected for the test set. The results showed that the support vector machine-based model predicted recurrence within 2 years after TUR with a probability of 90% and the random forest-based model with probability of 86.7%. In the future, the system can be used to objectively predict NMIBC recurrence after TUR.

Several methods have been tried to estimate air temperature using satellite imagery. In this paper, the results of two machine learning algorithms, Support Vector Machine and Random Forest, are compared with Multivariate Linear Regression, TVX and Ordinary kriging. Several geographic, remote sensing and time variables are used as predictors. The validation is carried out using four different statistics on a daily basis allowing the use of ANOVA to compare the results. The main conclusion is that Random Forest with residual kriging produces the best results (R$^2$=0.612 $\pm$ 0.019, NSE=0.578 $\pm$ 0.025, RMSE=1.068 $\pm$ 0.027, PBIAS=-0.172 $\pm$ 0.046), whereas TVX produces the least accurate results. The environmental conditions in the study area are not really suited to TVX, moreover this method only takes into account satellite data. On the other hand, regression methods (Support Vector Machine, Random Forest and Multivariate Linear Regression) use several parameters that are easily calculated from a Digital Elevation Model, adding very little difficulty to the use of satellite data alone. The most important variables in the Random Forest Model were satellite temperature, potential irradiation and cdayt, a cosine transformation of the julian day.

Abstract Introduction Out of all patients admitted with Myocardial Infarction, 10 to 15% have Myocardial Infarction with Non-Obstructive Coronaries Arteries (MINOCA). Classification algorithms based on deep learning substantially exceed traditional diagnostic algorithms. Therefore, numerous machine learning models have been proposed as useful tools for the detection of various pathologies, but to date no study has proposed a diagnostic algorithm for MINOCA. Purpose The aim of this study was to estimate the diagnostic accuracy of several automated learning algorithms (Support-Vector Machine [SVM], Random Forest [RF] and Logistic Regression [LR]) to discriminate between people suffering from MINOCA from those with Myocardial Infarction with Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease (MICAD) at the time of admission and before performing a coronary angiography, whether invasive or not. Methods A Diagnostic Test Evaluation study was carried out applying the proposed algorithms to a database constituted by 553 consecutive patients admitted to our Hospital with Myocardial Infarction. According to the definitions of 2016 ESC Position Paper on MINOCA, patients were classified into two groups: MICAD and MINOCA. Out of the total 553 patients, 214 were discarded due to the lack of complete data. The set of machine learning algorithms was trained on 244 patients (training sample: 75%) and tested on 80 patients (test sample: 25%). A total of 64 variables were available for each patient, including demographic, clinical and laboratorial features before the angiographic procedure. Finally, the diagnostic precision of each architecture was taken. Results The most accurate classification model was the Random Forest algorithm (Specificity [Sp] 0.88, Sensitivity [Se] 0.57, Negative Predictive Value [NPV] 0.93, Area Under the Curve [AUC] 0.85 [CI 0.83–0.88]) followed by the standard Logistic Regression (Sp 0.76, Se 0.57, NPV 0.92 AUC 0.74 and Support-Vector Machine (Sp 0.84, Se 0.38, NPV 0.90, AUC 0.78) (see graph). The variables that contributed the most in order to discriminate a MINOCA from a MICAD were the traditional cardiovascular risk factors, biomarkers of myocardial injury, hemoglobin and gender. Results were similar when the 19 patients with Takotsubo syndrome were excluded from the analysis. Conclusion A prediction system for diagnosing MINOCA before performing coronary angiographies was developed using machine learning algorithms. Results show higher accuracy of diagnosing MINOCA than conventional statistical methods. This study supports the potential of machine learning algorithms in clinical cardiology. However, further studies are required in order to validate our results. FUNDunding Acknowledgement Type of funding sources: None. ROC curves of different algorithms

The copper mining industry is increasingly using artificial intelligence methods to improve copper production processes. Recent studies reveal the use of algorithms, such as Artificial Neural Network, Support Vector Machine, and Random Forest, among others, to develop models for predicting product quality. Other studies compare the predictive models developed with these machine learning algorithms in the mining industry as a whole. However, not many copper mining studies published compare the results of machine learning techniques for copper recovery prediction. This study makes a detailed comparison between three models for predicting copper recovery by leaching, using four datasets resulting from mining operations in Northern Chile. The algorithms used for developing the models were Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, and Artificial Neural Network. To validate these models, four indicators or values of merit were used: accuracy (acc), precision (p), recall (r), and Matthew’s correlation coefficient (mcc). This paper describes the dataset preparation and the refinement of the threshold values used for the predictive variable most influential on the class (the copper recovery). Results show both a precision over 98.50% and also the model with the best behavior between the predicted and the real values. Finally, the obtained models have the following mean values: acc = 0.943, p = 88.47, r = 0.995, and mcc = 0.232. These values are highly competitive when compared with those obtained in similar studies using other approaches in the context.

<p class="8AbstrakBahasaIndonesia"><span>The growth of online stores nowadays is very rapid. This is supported by faster and better internet infrastructure. The increasing growth of online stores makes the competition more difficult in this business field. It is necessary for online stores to have a website or an application that is able to measure and classify consumers’ spending intentions, so that the consumers will have eyes on things on the sites and applications to make purchases eventually. Classification of online shoppers’ intentions can be done by using several algorithms, such as Naïve Bayes, Multi-Layer Perceptron, Support Vector Machine, Random Forest and J48 Decision Trees. In this case, the comparison of algorithms is done with two tools, WEKA and Sci-Kit Learn by comparing the values of F1-Score, accuracy, Kappa Statistic and mean absolute error. There is a difference between the test results using WEKA and Sci-Kit Learn on the Support Vector Machine algorithm. Based on this research, the Random Forest algorithm is the most appropriate algorithm to be used as an algorithm for classifying online shoppers’ intentions.</span></p>
