Texture-Based Metallurgical Phase Identification in Structural Steels: A Supervised Machine Learning Approach

Automatic identification of metallurgical phases based on thresholding methods in microstructural images may not be possible when the pixel intensities associated with the metallurgical phases overlap and, hence, are indistinguishable. To circumvent this problem, additional visual information about the metallurgical phases, referred to as textural features, are considered in this study. Mathematically, textural features are the second order statistics of an image domain and can be distinct for each metallurgical phase. Textural features are evaluated from the gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) of each metallurgical phase (ferrite, pearlite, and martensite) present in heat-treated ASTM A36 steels in this study. The dataset of textural features and pixel intensities generated for the metallurgical phases is used to train supervised machine learning classifiers, which are subsequently employed to predict the metallurgical phases in the microstructure. Naïve Bayes (NB), k-nearest neighbor (K-NN), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and decision tree (DT) classifiers are the four classifiers employed in this study. The performances of all four classifiers were assessed prior to their deployment, and the classification accuracy was found to be >97%. The proposed technique has two unique advantages: (1) unlike pixel intensity-based methods, the proposed method does not misclassify the grain boundaries as a metallurgical phase, and (2) the proposed method does not require the end-user to input the number of phases present in the microstructure.

Sentiment analysis of product reviews on e-commerce platforms aids in determining the preferences of customers. Aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA) assists in identifying the contributing aspects and their corresponding polarity, thereby allowing for a more detailed analysis of the customer’s inclination toward product aspects. This analysis helps in the transition from the traditional rating-based recommendation process to an improved aspect-based process. To automate ABSA, a labelled dataset is required to train a supervised machine learning model. As the availability of such dataset is limited due to the involvement of human efforts, an annotated dataset has been provided here for performing ABSA on customer reviews of mobile phones. The dataset comprising of product reviews of Apple-iPhone11 has been manually annotated with predefined aspect categories and aspect sentiments. The dataset’s accuracy has been validated using state-of-the-art machine learning techniques such as Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machine, Logistic Regression, Random Forest, K-Nearest Neighbor and Multi Layer Perceptron, a sequential model built with Keras API. The MLP model built through Keras Sequential API for classifying review text into aspect categories produced the most accurate result with 67.45 percent accuracy. K- nearest neighbor performed the worst with only 49.92 percent accuracy. The Support Vector Machine had the highest accuracy for classifying review text into aspect sentiments with an accuracy of 79.46 percent. The model built with Keras API had the lowest 76.30 percent accuracy. The contribution is beneficial as a benchmark dataset for ABSA of mobile phone reviews.

Abstract Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of deaths worldwide. In 2017, CVD contributed to 13,503 deaths in Malaysia. The current approaches for CVD prediction are usually invasive and costly. Machine learning (ML) techniques allow an accurate prediction by utilizing the complex interactions among relevant risk factors. Results: This study presents a case–control study involving 60 participants from The Malaysian Cohort, which is a prospective population-based project. Five parameters, namely, the R–R interval and root mean square of successive differences extracted from electrocardiogram (ECG), systolic and diastolic blood pressures, and total cholesterol level, were statistically significant in predicting CVD. Six ML algorithms, namely, linear discriminant analysis, linear and quadratic support vector machines, decision tree, k-nearest neighbor, and artificial neural network (ANN), were evaluated to determine the most accurate classifier in predicting CVD risk. ANN, which achieved 90% specificity, 90% sensitivity, and 90% accuracy, demonstrated the highest prediction performance among the six algorithms. Conclusions: In summary, by utilizing ML techniques, ECG data can serve as a good parameter for CVD prediction among the Malaysian multiethnic population.

Nanoindentation was utilized as a non-destructive technique to identify Portland Cement hydration phases. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and semi-supervised Machine Learning (ML) were used for knowledge gain on the effect of carbon nanotubes to nanomechanics in novel cement formulations. Data labelling is performed with unsupervised ML with k-means clustering. Supervised ML classification is used in order to predict the hydration products composition and 97.6% accuracy was achieved. Analysis included multiple nanoindentation raw data variables, and required less time to execute than conventional single component probability density analysis (PDA). Also, PDA was less informative than ML regarding information exchange and re-usability of input in design predictions. In principle, ML is the appropriate science for predictive modeling, such as cement phase identification and facilitates the acquisition of precise results. This study introduces unbiased structure-property relations with ML to monitor cement durability based on cement phases nanomechanics compared to PDA, which offers a solution based on local optima of a multidimensional space solution. Evaluation of nanomaterials inclusion in composite reinforcement using semi-supervised ML was proved feasible. This methodology is expected to contribute to design informatics due to the high prediction metrics, which holds promise for the transfer learning potential of these models for studying other novel cement formulations.

Egyptian Cotton

Egyptian cotton is one of the most important commodities to the Egyptian economy and is renowned globally for its quality, which is currently graded by manual inspection. This has several drawbacks including significant labour requirement, low inspection efficiency, and influence from inspection conditions such as light and human subjectivity. This current work uses a low-cost colour vision system, combined with machine learning to predict the cotton lint grade of the cultivars Giza 86, 97, 90, 94 and 96. Unsupervised and supervised machine learning approaches were explored and compared. Three different supervised learning algorithms were evaluated: linear discriminant analysis, decision trees and ensemble modelling. The highest accuracy models (77.3-98.2%) used an ensemble modelling technique to classify samples within the Egyptian cotton grades: Fully Good, Good, Fully Good Fair, Good Fair and Fully Fair. The unsupervised learning technique k-means showed that human error is more likely to occur when classifying lint belonging to the higher quality grades and underlined the need for an intelligent system to replace manual inspection.

COVID-19 is an infectious disease discovered after the outbreak began in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. COVID-19 is still becoming an increasing global threat to public health. The virus has been escalated to many countries across the globe. This paper analyzed and compared the performance of three different supervised machine learning techniques; Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Random Forest (RF), and Support Vector Machine (SVM) on COVID-19 dataset. The best level of accuracy between these three algorithms was determined by comparison of some metrics for assessing predictive performance such as accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, F-score, Kappa index, and ROC. From the analysis results, RF was found to be the best algorithm with 100% prediction accuracy in comparison with LDA and SVM with 95.2% and 90.9% respectively. Our analysis shows that out of these three classification models RF predicts COVID-19 patient's survival outcome with the highest accuracy. Chi-square test reveals that all the seven features except sex were significantly correlated with the COVID-19 patient's outcome (P-value < 0.005). Therefore, RF was recommended for COVID-19 patient outcome prediction that will help in early identification of possible sensitive cases for quick provision of quality health care, support and supervision.

Volatile Organic

We investigated the selective detection of target volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which are age-related body odors (namely, 2-nonenal, pelargonic acid, and diacetyl) and a fungal odor (namely, acetic acid) in the presence of interference VOCs from car interiors (namely, n-decane, and butyl acetate). We used eight semiconductive gas sensors as a sensor array; analyzing their signals using machine learning; principal-component analysis (PCA), and linear-discriminant analysis (LDA) as dimensionality-reduction methods; k-nearest-neighbor (kNN) classification to evaluate the accuracy of target-gas determination; and random forest and ReliefF feature selections to choose appropriate sensors from our sensor array. PCA and LDA scores from the sensor responses to each target gas with contaminant gases were generally within the area of each target gas; hence; discrimination between each target gas was nearly achieved. Random forest and ReliefF efficiently reduced the required number of sensors, and kNN verified the quality of target-gas discrimination by each sensor set.

Adaptive Boosting

We explored various Machine Learning (ML) models to evaluate how each model performs in the task of classifying histopathology reports. We trained, optimized, and performed classification with Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Adaptive Boosting (AB), Decision Trees (DT), Gaussian Naïve Bayes (GNB), Logistic Regression (LR), and Dummy classifier. We started with 60,083 histopathology reports, which reduced to 60,069 after pre-processing. The F1-scores for SVM, SGD KNN, RF, DT, LR, AB, and GNB were 97%, 96%, 96%, 96%, 92%, 96%, 84%, and 88%, respectively, while the misclassification rates were 3.31%, 5.25%, 4.39%, 1.75%, 3.5%, 4.26%, 23.9%, and 19.94%, respectively. The approximate run times were 2 h, 20 min, 40 min, 8 h, 40 min, 10 min, 50 min, and 4 min, respectively. RF had the longest run time but the lowest misclassification rate on the labeled data. Our study demonstrated the possibility of applying ML techniques in the processing of free-text pathology reports for cancer registries for cancer incidence reporting in a Sub-Saharan Africa setting. This is an important consideration for the resource-constrained environments to leverage ML techniques to reduce workloads and improve the timeliness of reporting of cancer statistics.
