Knowing when a machine learning system is not confident about its prediction is crucial in medical domains where safety is critical. Ideally, a machine learning algorithm should make a prediction only when it is highly certain about its competency, and refer the case to physicians otherwise. In this paper, we investigate how Bayesian deep learning can improve the performance of the machine–physician team in the skin lesion classification task. We used the publicly available HAM10000 dataset, which includes samples from seven common skin lesion categories: Melanoma (MEL), Melanocytic Nevi (NV), Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), Actinic Keratoses and Intraepithelial Carcinoma (AKIEC), Benign Keratosis (BKL), Dermatofibroma (DF), and Vascular (VASC) lesions. Our experimental results show that Bayesian deep networks can boost the diagnostic performance of the standard DenseNet-169 model from 81.35% to 83.59% without incurring additional parameters or heavy computation. More importantly, a hybrid physician–machine workflow reaches a classification accuracy of 90 % while only referring 35 % of the cases to physicians. The findings are expected to generalize to other medical diagnosis applications. We believe that the availability of risk-aware machine learning methods will enable a wider adoption of machine learning technology in clinical settings.

Purpose According to the World Health Organization, by 2025, the contribution of chronic disease is expected to rise by 73% compared to all deaths and it is considered as global burden of disease with a rate of 60%. These diseases persist for a longer duration of time, which are almost incurable and can only be controlled. Cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetes mellitus are considered as three major chronic diseases that will increase the risk among the adults, as they get older. CKD is considered a major disease among all these chronic diseases, which will increase the risk among the adults as they get older. Overall 10% of the population of the world is affected by CKD and it is likely to double in the year 2030. The paper aims to propose novel feature selection approach in combination with the machine-learning algorithm which can early predict the chronic disease with utmost accuracy. Hence, a novel feature selection adaptive probabilistic divergence-based feature selection (APDFS) algorithm is proposed in combination with the hyper-parameterized logistic regression model (HLRM) for the early prediction of chronic disease. Design/methodology/approach A novel feature selection APDFS algorithm is proposed which explicitly handles the feature associated with the class label by relevance and redundancy analysis. The algorithm applies the statistical divergence-based information theory to identify the relationship between the distant features of the chronic disease data set. The data set required to experiment is obtained from several medical labs and hospitals in India. The HLRM is used as a machine-learning classifier. The predictive ability of the framework is compared with the various algorithm and also with the various chronic disease data set. The experimental result illustrates that the proposed framework is efficient and achieved competitive results compared to the existing work in most of the cases. Findings The performance of the proposed framework is validated by using the metric such as recall, precision, F1 measure and ROC. The predictive performance of the proposed framework is analyzed by passing the data set belongs to various chronic disease such as CKD, diabetes and heart disease. The diagnostic ability of the proposed approach is demonstrated by comparing its result with existing algorithms. The experimental figures illustrated that the proposed framework performed exceptionally well in prior prediction of CKD disease with an accuracy of 91.6. Originality/value The capability of the machine learning algorithms depends on feature selection (FS) algorithms in identifying the relevant traits from the data set, which impact the predictive result. It is considered as a process of choosing the relevant features from the data set by removing redundant and irrelevant features. Although there are many approaches that have been already proposed toward this objective, they are computationally complex because of the strategy of following a one-step scheme in selecting the features. In this paper, a novel feature selection APDFS algorithm is proposed which explicitly handles the feature associated with the class label by relevance and redundancy analysis. The proposed algorithm handles the process of feature selection in two separate indices. Hence, the computational complexity of the algorithm is reduced to O(nk+1). The algorithm applies the statistical divergence-based information theory to identify the relationship between the distant features of the chronic disease data set. The data set required to experiment is obtained from several medical labs and hospitals of karkala taluk ,India. The HLRM is used as a machine learning classifier. The predictive ability of the framework is compared with the various algorithm and also with the various chronic disease data set. The experimental result illustrates that the proposed framework is efficient and achieved competitive results are compared to the existing work in most of the cases.

Abstract Background Digital conversations can offer unique information into the attitudes of Hispanics with depression outside of formal clinical settings and help generate useful information for medical treatment planning. Our study aimed to explore the big data from open-source digital conversations among Hispanics with regard to depression, specifically attitudes toward depression comparing Hispanics and non-Hispanics using machine learning technology. Methods Advanced machine‐learning empowered methodology was used to mine and structure open‐source digital conversations of self‐identifying Hispanics and non-Hispanics who endorsed suffering from depression and engaged in conversation about their tone, topics, and attitude towards depression. The search was limited to 12 months originating from US internet protocol (IP) addresses. Results A total of 441, 000 unique conversations about depression, including 43,000 (9.8%) for Hispanics, were posted. Source analysis revealed that 48% of conversations originated from topical sites compared to 16% on social media. Several critical differences were noted between Hispanics and non-Hispanics. In a higher percentage of Hispanics, their conversations portray “negative tone” due to depression (66% vs 39% non-Hispanics), show a resigned/hopeless attitude (44% vs. 30%) and were about ‘living with’ depression (44% vs. 25%). There were important differences in the author's determined sentiments behind the conversations among Hispanics and non-Hispanics. Conclusion In this first of its kind big data analysis of nearly a half-million digital conversations about depression using machine learning we found that Hispanics engage in an online conversation about negative, resigned, and hopeless attitude towards depression more often than non-Hispanic.

Earthquakes are one of the most overwhelming types of natural hazards. As a result, successfully handling the situation they create is crucial. Due to earthquakes, many lives can be lost, alongside devastating impacts to the economy. The ability to forecast earthquakes is one of the biggest issues in geoscience. Machine learning technology can play a vital role in the field of geoscience for forecasting earthquakes. We aim to develop a method for forecasting the magnitude range of earthquakes using machine learning classifier algorithms. Three different ranges have been categorized: fatal earthquake; moderate earthquake; and mild earthquake. In order to distinguish between these classifications, seven different machine learning classifier algorithms have been used for building the model. To train the model, six different datasets of India and regions nearby to India have been used. The Bayes Net, Random Tree, Simple Logistic, Random Forest, Logistic Model Tree (LMT), ZeroR and Logistic Regression algorithms have been applied to each dataset. All of the models have been developed using the Weka tool and the results have been noted. It was observed that Simple Logistic and LMT classifiers performed well in each case.

A digital campus will generate a large amount of student-related data. How to analyze and apply these data has become the key to improving the management level of students. The analysis of student behavior data can not only assist schools in early warning of dangerous events and strengthen school safety but also can use real data to describe student behavior, thereby providing quantitative data support for scholarship and grant evaluation. This paper takes a university student as the research object, collects various data in the digital campus platform, and uses an adaptive K -means algorithm in the machine learning algorithm to cluster the data. Analyze the behavior of college students from the clustering results, so as to provide a basis for the education management and learning ability improvement of college students. Specifically, the student’s study, life, and consumption data are selected as the data to describe the student’s behavior at school. This data is input into the adaptive K -means algorithm to obtain different types of student consumption habits, living habits, and learning habits. Through the analysis results, it can be found that the problem of the group of students with low financial ability, the problem of too long online time for students, and the number of books borrowed are too low. According to the characteristics of these problems, teachers and schools are provided with targeted management suggestions. The analysis of student behavior based on machine learning technology provides a reference for the formulation of students’ school management policies and provides teachers with information on students’ personality characteristics, which is conducive to improving teachers’ teaching effects. In short, the management of the results of student behavior analysis can provide a basis for the school to formulate reasonable management policies, thereby promoting precision management and scientific decision-making.

Abstract Many different classification algorithms can be use in order to analyze, classify and predict data. Learning classifier system (LCS) which is known as a genetic base machine learning system, combines the machine learning with evolutionary computing and other heuristics to produce an adaptive system that learns to solve a particular problem. This paper uses the Michigan style LCS, in the context of bank customer satisfaction to classify customers into two different groups: unsatisfied/satisfied customers. Three different Rule Compaction strategies are used to compare the rule population’s accuracy and micro/macro population size. The result specifies features that mostly influence prediction.
