Background: Heartbeat detection is a crucial step in several clinical fields. Laser Doppler Vibrometer (LDV) is a promising non-contact measurement for heartbeat detection. The aim of this work is to assess whether machine learning can be used for detecting heartbeat from the carotid LDV signal. Methods: The performances of Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest (RF) and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) were compared using the leave-one-subject-out cross-validation as the testing protocol in an LDV dataset collected from 28 subjects. The classification was conducted on LDV signal windows, which were labeled as beat, if containing a beat, or no-beat, otherwise. The labeling procedure was performed using electrocardiography as the gold standard. Results: For the beat class, the f1-score (f1) values were 0.93, 0.93, 0.95, 0.96 for RF, DT, KNN and SVM, respectively. No statistical differences were found between the classifiers. When testing the SVM on the full-length (10 min long) LDV signals, to simulate a real-world application, we achieved a median macro-f1 of 0.76. Conclusions: Using machine learning for heartbeat detection from carotid LDV signals showed encouraging results, representing a promising step in the field of contactless cardiovascular signal analysis.

Twitter is one of the most popular platforms used to share and post ideas. Hackers and anonymous attackers use these platforms maliciously, and their behavior can be used to predict the risk of future attacks, by gathering and classifying hackers’ tweets using machine-learning techniques. Previous approaches for detecting infected tweets are based on human efforts or text analysis, thus they are limited to capturing the hidden text between tweet lines. The main aim of this research paper is to enhance the efficiency of hacker detection for the Twitter platform using the complex networks technique with adapted machine learning algorithms. This work presents a methodology that collects a list of users with their followers who are sharing their posts that have similar interests from a hackers’ community on Twitter. The list is built based on a set of suggested keywords that are the commonly used terms by hackers in their tweets. After that, a complex network is generated for all users to find relations among them in terms of network centrality, closeness, and betweenness. After extracting these values, a dataset of the most influential users in the hacker community is assembled. Subsequently, tweets belonging to users in the extracted dataset are gathered and classified into positive and negative classes. The output of this process is utilized with a machine learning process by applying different algorithms. This research build and investigate an accurate dataset containing real users who belong to a hackers’ community. Correctly, classified instances were measured for accuracy using the average values of K-nearest neighbor, Naive Bayes, Random Tree, and the support vector machine techniques, demonstrating about 90% and 88% accuracy for cross-validation and percentage split respectively. Consequently, the proposed network cyber Twitter model is able to detect hackers, and determine if tweets pose a risk to future institutions and individuals to provide early warning of possible attacks.

Sustainable development plays a vital role in information and communication technology. In times of pandemics such as COVID-19, vulnerable people need help to survive. This help includes the distribution of relief packages and materials by the government with the primary objective of lessening the economic and psychological effects on the citizens affected by disasters such as the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there has not been an efficient way to monitor public funds’ accountability and transparency, especially in developing countries such as Nigeria. The understanding of public emotions by the government on distributed palliatives is important as it would indicate the reach and impact of the distribution exercise. Although several studies on English emotion classification have been conducted, these studies are not portable to a wider inclusive Nigerian case. This is because Informal Nigerian English (Pidgin), which Nigerians widely speak, has quite a different vocabulary from Standard English, thus limiting the applicability of the emotion classification of Standard English machine learning models. An Informal Nigerian English (Pidgin English) emotions dataset is constructed, pre-processed, and annotated. The dataset is then used to classify five emotion classes (anger, sadness, joy, fear, and disgust) on the COVID-19 palliatives and relief aid distribution in Nigeria using standard machine learning (ML) algorithms. Six ML algorithms are used in this study, and a comparative analysis of their performance is conducted. The algorithms are Multinomial Naïve Bayes (MNB), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), Logistics Regression (LR), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), and Decision Tree (DT). The conducted experiments reveal that Support Vector Machine outperforms the remaining classifiers with the highest accuracy of 88%. The “disgust” emotion class surpassed other emotion classes, i.e., sadness, joy, fear, and anger, with the highest number of counts from the classification conducted on the constructed dataset. Additionally, the conducted correlation analysis shows a significant relationship between the emotion classes of “Joy” and “Fear”, which implies that the public is excited about the palliatives’ distribution but afraid of inequality and transparency in the distribution process due to reasons such as corruption. Conclusively, the results from this experiment clearly show that the public emotions on COVID-19 support and relief aid packages’ distribution in Nigeria were not satisfactory, considering that the negative emotions from the public outnumbered the public happiness.

On YouTube, billions of videos are watched online and millions of short messages are posted each day. YouTube along with other social networking sites are used by individuals and extremist groups for spreading hatred among users. In this paper, we consider religion as the most targeted domain for spreading hate speech among people of different religions. We present a methodology for the detection of religion-based hate videos on YouTube. Messages posted on YouTube videos generally express the opinions of users’ related to that video. We provide a novel dataset for religious hate speech detection on Youtube comments. The proposed methodology applies data mining techniques on extracted comments from religious videos in order to filter religion-oriented messages and detect those videos which are used for spreading hate. The supervised learning algorithms: Support Vector Machine (SVM), Logistic Regression (LR), and k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) are used for baseline results.

The arising problem on food scarcity drives the innovation of urban farming. One of the methods in urban farming is the smart aquaponics. However, for a smart aquaponics to yield crops successfully, it needs intensive monitoring, control, and automation. An efficient way of implementing this is the utilization of vision systems and machine learning algorithms to optimize the capabilities of the farming technique. To realize this, a comparative analysis of three machine learning estimators: Logistic Regression (LR), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), and Linear Support Vector Machine (L-SVM) was conducted. This was done by modeling each algorithm from the machine vision-feature extracted images of lettuce which were raised in a smart aquaponics setup. Each of the model was optimized to increase cross and hold-out validations. The results showed that KNN having the tuned hyperparameters of n_neighbors=24, weights='distance', algorithm='auto', leaf_size = 10 was the most effective model for the given dataset, yielding a cross-validation mean accuracy of 87.06% and a classification accuracy of 91.67%.


Machine Learning is empowering many aspects of day-to-day lives from filtering the content on social networks to suggestions of products that we may be looking for. This technology focuses on taking objects as image input to find new observations or show items based on user interest. The major discussion here is the Machine Learning techniques where we use supervised learning where the computer learns by the input data/training data and predict result based on experience. We also discuss the machine learning algorithms: Naïve Bayes Classifier, K-Nearest Neighbor, Random Forest, Decision Tress, Boosted Trees, Support Vector Machine, and use these classifiers on a dataset Malgenome and Drebin which are the Android Malware Dataset. Android is an operating system that is gaining popularity these days and with a rise in demand of these devices the rise in Android Malware. The traditional techniques methods which were used to detect malware was unable to detect unknown applications. We have run this dataset on different machine learning classifiers and have recorded the results. The experiment result provides a comparative analysis that is based on performance, accuracy, and cost.

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 A technique for the estimation of an optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) using machine learning algorithms has been proposed. The algorithms are trained with parameters derived from eye-diagram via simulation in 10 Gb/s On-Off Keying (OOK) nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) data signal. The performance of different machine learning (ML) techniques namely, multiple linear regression, random forest, and K-nearest neighbor (K-NN) for OSNR estimation in terms of mean square error and R-squared value has been compared. The proposed methods may be useful for intelligent signal analysis in a test instrument and to monitor optical performance.
