Machine learning is often perceived as a sophisticated technology accessible only by highly trained experts. This prevents many physicians and biologists from using this tool in their research. The goal of this paper is to eliminate this out-dated perception. We argue that the recent development of auto machine learning techniques enables biomedical researchers to quickly build competitive machine learning classifiers without requiring in-depth knowledge about the underlying algorithms. We study the case of predicting the risk of cardiovascular diseases. To support our claim, we compare auto machine learning techniques against a graduate student using several important metrics, including the total amounts of time required for building machine learning models and the final classification accuracies on unseen test datasets. In particular, the graduate student manually builds multiple machine learning classifiers and tunes their parameters for one month using scikit-learn library, which is a popular machine learning library to obtain ones that perform best on two given, publicly available datasets. We run an auto machine learning library called auto-sklearn on the same datasets. Our experiments find that automatic machine learning takes 1 h to produce classifiers that perform better than the ones built by the graduate student in one month. More importantly, building this classifier only requires a few lines of standard code. Our findings are expected to change the way physicians see machine learning and encourage wide adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques in clinical domains.

Learning Techniques

In current day information transmitted from one place to another by using network communication technology. Due to such transmission of information, networking system required a high security environment. The main strategy to secure this environment is to correctly identify the packet and detect if the packet contains a malicious and any illegal activity happened in network environments. To accomplish this, we use intrusion detection system (IDS). Intrusion detection is a security technology that design detects and automatically alert or notify to a responsible person. However, creating an efficient Intrusion Detection System face a number of challenges. These challenges are false detection and the data contain high number of features. Currently many researchers use machine learning techniques to overcome the limitation of intrusion detection and increase the efficiency of intrusion detection for correctly identify the packet either the packet is normal or malicious. Many machine-learning techniques use in intrusion detection. However, the question is which machine learning classifiers has been potentially to address intrusion detection issue in network security environment. Choosing the appropriate machine learning techniques required to improve the accuracy of intrusion detection system. In this work, three machine learning classifiers are analyzed. Support vector Machine, Naïve Bayes Classifier and K-Nearest Neighbor classifiers. These algorithms tested using NSL KDD dataset by using the combination of Chi square and Extra Tree feature selection method and Python used to implement, analyze and evaluate the classifiers. Experimental result show that K-Nearest Neighbor classifiers outperform the method in categorizing the packet either is normal or malicious.

It is very obvious that human fall due to unconsciousness is a very common health problem in every human being. With the evolution of many smart health devices, we should contribute the technological advancement of machine learning into it. Different techniques are already used in order to detect human fall detection in human beings. In this paper we have studied the patterns of falling of human through the fall detection dataset while this human was performing various motions. By understanding all these we have generated the prediction protocol which estimates the fall of a person using fall detection dataset. Machine Learning classifiers were used to predict the human fall and a comparative study of various algorithms used was developed to find out the best classifier.

Our purpose in this research is to develop a method to automatically and efficiently classify web images as Unified Modeling Language (UML) static diagrams, and to produce a computer tool that implements this function. The tool receives a bitmap file (in different formats) as an input and communicates whether the image corresponds to a diagram. For pragmatic reasons, we restricted ourselves to the simplest kinds of diagrams that are more useful for automated software reuse: computer-edited 2D representations of static diagrams. The tool does not require that the images are explicitly or implicitly tagged as UML diagrams. The tool extracts graphical characteristics from each image (such as grayscale histogram, color histogram and elementary geometric forms) and uses a combination of rules to classify it. The rules are obtained with machine learning techniques (rule induction) from a sample of 19,000 web images manually classified by experts. In this work, we do not consider the textual contents of the images. Our tool reaches nearly 95% of agreement with manually classified instances, improving the effectiveness of related research works. Moreover, using a training dataset 15 times bigger, the time required to process each image and extract its graphical features (0.680 s) is seven times lower.

Abstract Background: This study is to evaluate the accuracy of machine learning for differentiation between optic neuropathies and pseudopapilledema (PPE). Methods: Two hundred and ninety-five images of optic neuropathies, 295 images of PPE, and 779 control images were used. Pseudopapilledema was defined as follows: cases with elevated optic nerve head and blurred disc margin, with normal visual acuity (>0.8 Snellen visual acuity), visual field, color vision, and pupillary reflex. The optic neuropathy group included cases of ischemic optic neuropathy (177), optic neuritis (48), diabetic optic neuropathy (17), papilledema (22), and retinal disorders (31). We compared four machine learning classifiers (our model, GoogleNet Inception v3, 19-layer Very Deep Convolution Network from Visual Geometry group (VGG), and 50-layer Deep Residual Learning (ResNet)). Accuracy and area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) were analyzed Results: The accuracy of machine learning classifiers ranged from 95.89% to 98.63% (our model: 95.89%, Inception V3: 96.45%, ResNet: 98.63%, and VGG: 96.80%). A high AUROC score was noted in both ResNet and VGG (0.999). Conclusions: Machine learning techniques can be combined with fundus photography as an effective approach to distinguish between PPE and elevated optic disc associated with optic neuropathies.

The Impact

Early and precisely predicting the students’ dropout based on available educational data belongs to the widespread research topic of the learning analytics research field. Despite the amount of already realized research, the progress is not significant and persists on all educational data levels. Even though various features have already been researched, there is still an open question, which features can be considered appropriate for different machine learning classifiers applied to the typical scarce set of educational data at the e-learning course level. Therefore, the main goal of the research is to emphasize the importance of the data understanding, data gathering phase, stress the limitations of the available datasets of educational data, compare the performance of several machine learning classifiers, and show that also a limited set of features, which are available for teachers in the e-learning course, can predict student’s dropout with sufficient accuracy if the performance metrics are thoroughly considered. The data collected from four academic years were analyzed. The features selected in this study proved to be applicable in predicting course completers and non-completers. The prediction accuracy varied between 77 and 93% on unseen data from the next academic year. In addition to the frequently used performance metrics, the comparison of machine learning classifiers homogeneity was analyzed to overcome the impact of the limited size of the dataset on obtained high values of performance metrics. The results showed that several machine learning algorithms could be successfully applied to a scarce dataset of educational data. Simultaneously, classification performance metrics should be thoroughly considered before deciding to deploy the best performance classification model to predict potential dropout cases and design beneficial intervention mechanisms.

Comparative Opinion Mining

AbstractIn recent times, comparative opinion mining applications have attracted both individuals and business organizations to compare the strengths and weakness of products. Prior works on comparative opinion mining have focused on applying a single classifier, limited comparative opinion labels, and limited dataset of product reviews, resulting in degraded performance for classifying comparative reviews. In this work, we perform multi-class comparative opinion mining by applying multiple machine learning classifiers using an increased number of comparative opinion labels (9 classes) on 4 datasets of comparative product reviews. The experimental results show that Random Forest classifier has outperformed the comparing algorithms in terms of improved accuracy, precision, recall and f-measure.

Two Phases

Smishing attack is generally performed by sending a fake short message service (SMS) that contains a link of the malicious webpage or application. Smishing messages are the subclass of spam SMS and these are more harmful compared to spam messages. There are various solutions available to detect the spam messages. However, no existing solution, filters the smishing message from the spam message. Therefore, this article presents a novel method to filter smishing message from spam message. The proposed approach is divided into two phases. The first phase filters the spam messages and ham messages. The second phase filters smishing messages from spam messages. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated on various machine learning classifiers using the dataset of ham and spam messages. The simulation results indicate that the proposed approach can detect spam messages with the accuracy of 94.9% and it can filter smishing messages with the accuracy of 96% on neural network classifier.
