Driver distraction has become a leading cause of traffic crashes. Visual distraction has the most direct impact on driving safety among various driver distractions. If the driver’s line of sight deviates from the road in front, there will be a high probability of visual distraction. A nonintrusive and real-time classification method for driver’s gaze region is proposed. A Multi-Task Convolutional Neural Network (MTCNN) face detector is used to collect the driver’s face image, and the driver’s gaze direction can be detected with a full-face appearance-based gaze estimation method. The driver’s gaze region is classified by the model trained through the machine learning algorithms such as Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forest (RF), and K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN). The simulated experiment and the real vehicle experiment were conducted to test the method. The results show that it has good performance on gaze region classification and strong robustness to complex environments. The models in this paper are all lightweight networks, which can meet the accuracy and speed requirements for the tasks. The method can be a good help for further exploring the visual distraction state level and exert an influence on the research of driving behavior.

Every year, wildfires strike the Portuguese territory and are a concern for public entities and the population. To prevent a wildfire progression and minimize its impact, Fuel Management Zones (FMZs) have been stipulated, by law, around buildings, settlements, along national roads, and other infrastructures. FMZs require monitoring of the vegetation condition to promptly proceed with the maintenance and cleaning of these zones. To improve FMZ monitoring, this paper proposes the use of satellite images, such as the Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2, along with vegetation indices and extracted temporal characteristics (max, min, mean and standard deviation) associated with the vegetation within and outside the FMZs and to determine if they were treated. These characteristics feed machine-learning algorithms, such as XGBoost, Support Vector Machines, K-nearest neighbors and Random Forest. The results show that it is possible to detect an intervention in an FMZ with high accuracy, namely with an F1-score ranging from 90% up to 94% and a Kappa ranging from 0.80 up to 0.89.

Electroencephalogram data are easily affected by artifacts, and a drift may occur during the signal acquisition process. At present, most research focuses on the automatic detection and elimination of artifacts in electrooculograms, electromyograms and electrocardiograms. However, electroencephalogram drift data, which affect the real-time performance, are mainly manually calibrated and abandoned. An emotion classification method based on 1/f fluctuation theory is proposed to classify electroencephalogram data without removing artifacts and drift data. The results show that the proposed method can still achieve a great classification accuracy of 75% in cases in which artifacts and drift data exist when using the support vector machine classifier. In addition, the real-time performance of the proposed method is guaranteed.


Sentiment Analysis is individuals' opinions and feedbacks study towards a substance, which can be items, services, movies, people or events. The opinions are mostly expressed as remarks or reviews. With the social network, gatherings and websites, these reviews rose as a significant factor for the client’s decision to buy anything or not. These days, a vast scalable computing environment provides us with very sophisticated way of carrying out various data-intensive natural language processing (NLP) and machine-learning tasks to examine these reviews. One such example is text classification, a compelling method for predicting the clients' sentiment. In this paper, we attempt to center our work of sentiment analysis on movie review database. We look at the sentiment expression to order the extremity of the movie reviews on a size of 0(highly disliked) to 4(highly preferred) and perform feature extraction and ranking and utilize these features to prepare our multilabel classifier to group the movie review into its right rating. This paper incorporates sentiment analysis utilizing feature-based opinion mining and managed machine learning. The principle center is to decide the extremity of reviews utilizing nouns, verbs, and adjectives as opinion words. In addition, a comparative study on different classification approaches has been performed to determine the most appropriate classifier to suit our concern problem space. In our study, we utilized six distinctive machine learning algorithms – Naïve Bayes, Logistic Regression, SVM (Support Vector Machine), RF (Random Forest) KNN (K nearest neighbors) and SoftMax Regression.


Glass Industry is considered one of the most important industries in the world. The Glass is used everywhere, from water bottles to X-Ray and Gamma Rays protection. This is a non-crystalline, amorphous solid that is most often transparent. There are lots of uses of glass, and during investigation in a crime scene, the investigators need to know what is type of glass in a scene. To find out the type of glass, we will use the online dataset and machine learning to solve the above problem. We will be using ML algorithms such as Artificial Neural Network (ANN), K-nearest neighbors (KNN) algorithm, Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm, Random Forest algorithm, and Logistic Regression algorithm. By comparing all the algorithm Random Forest did the best in glass classification.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacillus included among the six "ESKAPE" microbial species with an outstanding ability to "escape" currently used antibiotics and developing new antibiotics against it is of the highest priority. Whereas minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values against Pseudomonas aeruginosa have been used previously for QSAR model development, disk diffusion results (inhibition zones) have not been apparently used for this purpose in the literature, and we decided to explore their use in this sense. We developed multiple QSAR methods using several machine learning algorithms (Support vector classifier, K Nearest Neighbors, Random Forest Classifier, Decision Tree Classifier, AdaBoost Classifier, Logistic Regression, and Naive Bayes Classifier). The main descriptors used in building the models belonged to the families of adjacency matrix, constitutional descriptors, first highest eigenvalue of Burden matrix, centered Moreau-Broto autocorrelation, and averaged and centered Moreau-Broto autocorrelation descriptors. A total of 32 models were built, of which 28 were selected and stacked to create a meta-model. In terms of balanced accuracy, the best performance was provided by KNN, SVM and AdaBoost algorithms, but the ensemble method had slightly superior results in nested cross-validation.

This paper presents a posture recognition system aimed at detecting sitting postures of a wheelchair user. The main goals of the proposed system are to identify and inform irregular and improper posture to prevent sitting-related health issues such as pressure ulcers, with the potential that it could also be used for individuals without mobility issues. In the proposed monitoring system, an array of 16 screen printed pressure sensor units was employed to obtain pressure data, which are sampled and processed in real-time using read-out electronics. The posture recognition was performed for four sitting positions: right-, left-, forward- and backward leaning based on k-nearest neighbors (k-NN), support vector machines (SVM), random forest (RF), decision tree (DT) and LightGBM machine learning algorithms. As a result, a posture classification accuracy of up to 99.03 percent can be achieved. Experimental studies illustrate that the system can provide real-time pressure distribution value in the form of a pressure map on a standard PC and also on a raspberry pi system equipped with a touchscreen monitor. The stored pressure distribution data can later be shared with healthcare professionals so that abnormalities in sitting patterns can be identified by employing a post-processing unit. The proposed system could be used for risk assessments related to pressure ulcers. It may be served as a benchmark by recording and identifying individuals’ sitting patterns and the possibility of being realized as a lightweight portable health monitoring device.

Abstract- The study of face recognition is one of the areas of computer vision that requires significant research at the moment. Numerous researchers have conducted studies on facial image recognition using a variety of techniques or methods to achieve the highest level of accuracy possible when recognizing a person's face from existing images. However, recognizing the image of a human face is not easy for a computer. As a result, several approaches were taken to resolve this issue. This study compares two (two) machine learning algorithms for facial image recognition to determine which algorithm has the highest level of accuracy, precision, recall, and AUC. The comparison is carried out in the following steps: image acquisition, preprocessing, feature extraction, face classification, training, and testing. Based on the stages and experiments conducted on public image datasets, it is concluded that the SVM algorithm, on average, has a higher level of accuracy, precision, and recall than the k-NN algorithm when the dataset proportion is 90:10. While the k-NN algorithm has the highest similarity in terms of accuracy, precision, and recall at 80%: 20% and 70%: 30% of 99.20. However, for the highest AUC percentage level, the k-NN algorithm outperforms SVM at a dataset proportion of 80%: 20% at 100%.
