The aim of this study was to propose a method to assess images of the tongue captured using a polarized light camera for diagnostic use in Kampo medicine. Glossy and non-glossy images of the tongue were captured simultaneously using a polarizing camera and a polarizing plate. Data augmentation was performed by modulating the color and gloss, resulting in an increase in the number of images from 11 to 275. To create a data set, the values for which diseases were evaluated by Kampo doctors for all tongue images were taken as the correct values and combined with the features extracted from the tongue images. Using this data set, we constructed a diagnostic support module to evaluate diseases. The resulting mean absolute error of the assessment was 0.44 for qi deficiency, 0.42 for blood deficiency, 0.33 for blood stagnation, 0.36 for yin deficiency, and 0.55 for fluid stagnation, suggesting that the diagnostic assistance module was accurate, and our proposed learning and data augmentation methods were effective.

In this research, we propose a method to assess images of the tongue captured using a polarized light camera for diagnostic use in Kampo Medicine. The polarized light camera is used to simultaneously capture glossy and non-glossy images of the tongue. Data augmentation was performed by modulating the color and gloss, through which the number of images was increased from 11 to 275. A diagnostic assistance module was built to evaluate a given disease by learning a specialist's assessment of it along with feature values obtained from the captured image using a machine learning technique. The resulting mean absolute error of the assessment of five diseases was sufficiently small for it to be accurate.

The present research aims to implement a predictive model in the KNIME platform to analyze and compare the prediction of academic performance using data from a Learning Management System (LMS), identifying students at academic risk in order to generate timely and timely interventions. The CRISP-DM methodology was used, structured in six phases: Problem analysis, data analysis, data understanding, data preparation, modeling, evaluation and implementation. Based on the analysis of online learning behavior through 22 behavioral indicators observed in the LMS of the Faculty of Educational Sciences of the National University of San Agustin. These indicators are distributed in five dimensions: Academic Performance, Access, Homework, Social Aspects and Quizzes. The model has been implemented in the KNIME platform using the Simple Regression Tree Learner training algorithm. The total population consists of 30,000 student records from which a sample of 1,000 records has been taken by simple random sampling. The accuracy of the model for early prediction of students' academic performance is evaluated, the 22 observed behavioral indicators are compared with the means of academic performance in three courses. The prediction results of the implemented model are satisfactory where the mean absolute error compared to the mean of the first course was 3. 813 and with an accuracy of 89.7%, the mean absolute error compared to the mean of the second course was 2.809 with an accuracy of 94.2% and the mean absolute error compared to the mean of the third course was 2.779 with an accuracy of 93.8%. These results demonstrate that the proposed model can be used to predict students' future academic performance from an LMS data set.

Intraretinal layer segmentation on macular optical coherence tomography (OCT) images generates non invasive biomarkers querying neuronal structures with near cellular resolution. While first deep learning methods have delivered promising results with high computing power demands, a reliable, power efficient and reproducible intraretinal layer segmentation is still an unmet need. We propose a cascaded two-stage network for intraretinal layer segmentation, with both networks being compressed versions of U-Net (CCU-INSEG). The first network is responsible for retinal tissue segmentation from OCT B-scans. The second network segments 8 intraretinal layers with high fidelity. By compressing U-Net, we achieve 392- and 26-time reductions in model size and parameters in the first and second network, respectively. Still, our method delivers almost similar accuracy compared to U-Net without additional constraints of computation and memory resources. At the post-processing stage, we introduce Laplacian-based outlier detection with layer surface hole filling by adaptive non-linear interpolation. We trained our method using 17,458 B-scans from patients with autoimmune optic neuropathies, i.e. multiple sclerosis, and healthy controls. Voxel-wise comparison against manual segmentation produces a mean absolute error of 2.3mu, which is 2.5x better than the device's own segmentation. Voxel-wise comparison against external multicenter data leads to a mean absolute error of 2.6mu for glaucoma data using the same gold standard segmentation approach, and 3.7mu mean absolute error compared against an externally segmented reference data set. In 20 macular volume scans from patients with severe disease, 3.5% of B-scan segmentation results were rejected by an experienced grader, whereas this was the case in 41.4% of B-scans segmented with a graph-based reference method.

Evapotranspiration (ET) estimation takes an important role in hydraulic designs and agricultural yield. Even it is non-negligible for hydraulic designers and irrigation engineers it is not clear enough to estimate or calculate ET because of direct and indirect parameters effects. In this study Solar Radiation (SR), Air Temperature (AT), Relative Humidity (RH) and Wind Speed (U) meteorological parameters are used to create a M5T model. 1158 daily RH, U, AT and SR records are used to create model and 385 daily values are used to test it. Data set is taken from St. Johns, Florida, USA weather station. The test set is also applied to the Ritchie empirical formula. M5T model and Ritchie formula Results are compared with daily ET records using determination coefficient. Determination coefficient is found 0.966 for M5T model and 0.913 for Ritchie formula. According to the determination coefficient, Mean Square Error (MSE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) statistics, it is understood that M5T method can be used for daily ET estimation effectively.

Abstract. Can we improve machine-learning (ML) emulators with synthetic data? If data are scarce or expensive to source and a physical model is available, statistically generated data may be useful for augmenting training sets cheaply. Here we explore the use of copula-based models for generating synthetically augmented datasets in weather and climate by testing the method on a toy physical model of downwelling longwave radiation and corresponding neural network emulator. Results show that for copula-augmented datasets, predictions are improved by up to 62 % for the mean absolute error (from 1.17 to 0.44 W m−2).


In Current internet world, the customers prefer to buy the products through online rather than spending their time on show rooms. The online customers of wine increases day by day due to the availability of high brands in online sellers. So the customers buy the wine products based on the product description and the satisfaction of other customers those who have bought before. This makes the industries to focus on machine learning that concentrates on target transformation of the dependent variable. This paper endeavor to forecast the customer segmentation for the wine data set extracted from UCI Machine learning repository. The raw wine data set is subjected to target transformation for various classifiers like Huber Regressor, SGD Regressor, RidgeCV Regression, Logistic RegressionCV and Passive Aggressive Regressor. The performance of the various classifiers is analyzed with and without target transformation using the metrics like Mean Absolute Error and R2 Score. The implementation is done in Anaconda Navigator with Python. Experimental results shows that after applying target transformation RidgeCV Regression is found to be effective with the R2 Score of 82% and Mean Absolute Error of 0.0 compared to other classifiers.

This paper presents a deep learning benchmark on a complex dataset known as KFUPM Handwritten Arabic TexT (KHATT). The KHATT data-set consists of complex patterns of handwritten Arabic text-lines. This paper contributes mainly in three aspects i.e., (1) pre-processing, (2) deep learning based approach, and (3) data-augmentation. The pre-processing step includes pruning of white extra spaces plus de-skewing the skewed text-lines. We deploy a deep learning approach based on Multi-Dimensional Long Short-Term Memory (MDLSTM) networks and Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC). The MDLSTM has the advantage of scanning the Arabic text-lines in all directions (horizontal and vertical) to cover dots, diacritics, strokes and fine inflammation. The data-augmentation with a deep learning approach proves to achieve better and promising improvement in results by gaining 80.02% Character Recognition (CR) over 75.08% as baseline.

Aims: Normally, the temperature increase of individuals leads to the possibility of getting a type of disease, which might be risky to other people such as coronavirus. Traditional techniques for tracking core-temperature require body contact either by oral, rectum, axillary, or tympanic, which are unfortunately considered intrusive in nature as well as causes of contagion. Therefore, sensing human core-temperature non-intrusively and remotely is the objective of this research. Background: Nowadays, increasing level of medical sectors is a necessary targets for the research operations, especially with the development of the integrated circuit, sensors and cameras that made the normal life easier. Methods: The solution is by proposing an embedded system consisting of the Arduino microcontroller, which is trained with a model of Mean Absolute Error (MAE) analysis for predicting Contactless Core-Temperature (CCT), which is the real body temperature. Results: The Arduino is connected to an Infrared-Thermal sensor named MLX90614 as input signal, and connected to the LCD to display the CCT. To evaluate the proposed system, experiments are conducted by participating 31-subject sensing contactless temperature from the three face sub-regions: forehead, nose, and cheek. Conclusion: Experimental results approved that CCT can be measured remotely depending on the human face, in which the forehead region is better to be dependent, rather than nose and cheek regions for CCT measurement due to the smallest
