Correlation Based Feature Selection

Although the blockchain technology is gaining a widespread adoption across multiple sectors, its most popular application is in cryptocurrency. The decentralized and anonymous nature of transactions in a cryptocurrency blockchain has attracted a multitude of participants, and now significant amounts of money are being exchanged by the day. This raises the need of analyzing the blockchain to discover information related to the nature of participants in transactions. This study focuses on the identification for risky and non-risky blocks in a blockchain. In this paper, the proposed approach is to use ensemble learning with or without feature selection using correlation-based feature selection. Ensemble learning yielded good results in the experiments, but class-wise analysis reveals that ensemble learning with feature selection improves even further. After training Machine Learning classifiers on the dataset, we observe an improvement in accuracy of 2–3% and in F-score of 7–8%.

User Location

Wi-Fi technology is now everywhere either inside or outside buildings. Using Wi-fi technology introduces an indoor localization service(s) (ILS). Determining indoor user location is a hard and complex problem. Several applications highlight the importance of indoor user localization such as disaster management, health care zones, Internet of Things applications (IoT), and public settlement planning. The measurements of Wi-Fi signal strength (i.e., Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI)) can be used to determine indoor user location. In this paper, we proposed a hybrid model between a wrapper feature selection algorithm and machine learning classifiers to determine indoor user location. We employed the Minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance (mRMR) algorithm as a feature selection to select the most active access point (AP) based on RSSI values. Six different machine learning classifiers were used in this work (i.e., Decision Tree (DT), Support Vector Machine (SVM), k-nearest neighbors (kNN), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Ensemble-Bagged Tree (EBaT), and Ensemble Boosted Tree (EBoT)). We examined all classifiers on a public dataset obtained from UCI repository. The obtained results show that EBoT outperforms all other classifiers based on accuracy value/

Fuzzy C Means Algorithm

The COVID-19 pandemic originated in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and has since affected over 200 countries worldwide. The highly contagious Coronavirus primarily affects the respiratory system, causing pulmonary inflammation that can be visualized through medical imaging such as CT and X-rays. Conventional testing methods include PCR and antibody tests. Shortage of test kits in hospitals as well as time taken for results to be received can be compensated through medical imaging. Therefore, there is a need for an automated system, which is accurate and robust in detection of Covid-19 from medical radiographs for clinical practice. The objectives of our study are as follows: (i) To segment the lung CT images using a hybrid watershed and fuzzy c-means algorithm. (2) To extract various textural features using the GLCM algorithm. (iii) To implement machine learning classifiers for classification of COVID and non-COVID image classes. Our dataset consisting of 60 chest CT images of COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients was pre-processed and segmented using a hybrid watershed and fuzzy c-means algorithm. Then, textural features were extracted from the segmented ROI using the GLCM algorithm. Finally, the images were classified into COVID and non-COVID classes using three machine learning classifiers namely Naïve Bayes, SVM and K-star. Naïve Bayes classifier achieved the highest accuracy of 95%, while SVM achieved 93% accuracy. The ROC curves were also obtained, with AUC of 0.98. Thus, our proposed system has shown promising results in the classification of lung CT images into the two classes namely COVID and non-COVID.
