With the help of Internet, the online news can be instantly spread around the world. Most of peoples now have the habit of reading and sharing news online, for instance, using social media like Twitter and Facebook. Typically, the news popularity can be indicated by the number of reads, likes or shares. For the online news stake holders such as content providers or advertisers, it’s very valuable if the popularity of the news articles can be accurately predicted prior to the publication. Thus, it is interesting and meaningful to use the machine learning techniques to predict the popularity of online news articles. Various works have been done in prediction of online news popularity. Popularity of news depends upon various features like sharing of online news on social media, comments of visitors for news, likes for news articles etc. It is necessary to know what makes one online news article more popular than another article. Unpopular articles need to get optimize for further popularity. In this paper, different methodologies are analyzed which predict the popularity of online news articles. These methodologies are compared, their parameters are considered and improvements are suggested. The proposed methodology describes online news popularity predicting system.

Accurate and timely estimation of freeway traffic speeds by short segments plays an important role in traffic monitoring systems. In the literature, the ability of machine learning techniques to capture the stochastic characteristics of traffic has been proved. Also, the deployment of intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) has provided enriched traffic data, which enables the adoption of a variety of machine learning methods to estimate freeway traffic speeds. However, the limitation of data quality and coverage remain a big challenge in current traffic monitoring systems. To overcome this problem, this study aims to develop a hybrid machine learning approach, by creating a new training variable based on the second-order traffic flow model, to improve the accuracy of traffic speed estimation. Grounded on a novel integrated framework, the estimation is performed using three machine learning techniques, that is, Random Forest (RF), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). All three models are trained with the integrated dataset including the traffic flow model estimates and the iPeMS and PeMS data from the Utah Department of Transportation (DOT). Further using the PeMS data as the ground truth for model evaluation, the comparisons between the hybrid approach and pure machine learning models show that the hybrid approach can effectively capture the time-varying pattern of the traffic and help improve the estimation accuracy.


Pollution exposure and human health in the industry contaminated area are always a concern. The need for industrialization urges to concentrate on sustainable life of residents in the vicinity of the industrial area rather than opposing the industrialists. Literature in epidemiological studies reveal that air pollution is one of the major problems for health risks faced by residents in the industrial area. Main pollutants in industry related air pollution are particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10), SO2 , NO2 , and other pollutants upon the industry. Data for epidemiological studies obtained from different sources which are limited to public access include residents’ sociodemographic characters, health problems, and air quality index for personal exposure to pollutants. This combined data and limited resources make the analysis more complex so that statistical methods cannot compensate. Our review finds that there is an increase in literature that evaluates the connection between ambient air pollution exposure and associated health events of residents in the industrially polluted area using statistical methods, mainly regression models. A very few applies machine learning techniques to figure out the impact of common air pollution exposure on human health. Most of the machine learning approach to epidemiological studies end up in air pollution exposure monitoring, not to correlate its association with diseases. A machine learning approach to epidemiological studies can automatically characterize the residents’ exposure to pollutants and its associated health effects. Uniqueness of the model depends on the appropriate exhaustive data that characterizes the features, and machine learning algorithm used to build the model. In this contribution, we discuss various existing approaches that evaluate residents’ health effects and the source of irritation in association with air pollution exposure, focuses machine learning techniques and mathematical background for epidemiological studies for residents’ sustainable life.

Polypharmacologic human-targeted antimicrobials (polyHAM) are potentially useful in the treatment of complex human diseases where the microbiome is important (e.g., diabetes, hypertension). We previously reported a machine-learning approach to identify polyHAM from FDA-approved human targeted drugs using a heterologous approach (training with peptides and non-peptide compounds). Here we discover that polyHAM are more likely to be found among antimicrobials displaying a broad-spectrum antibiotic activity and that topological, but not chemical features, are most informative to classify this activity. A heterologous machine-learning approach was trained with broad-spectrum antimicrobials and tested with human metabolites; these metabolites were labeled as antimicrobials or non-antimicrobials based on a naïve text-mining approach. Human metabolites are not commonly recognized as antimicrobials yet circulate in the human body where microbes are found and our heterologous model was able to classify those with antimicrobial activity. These results provide the basis to develop applications aimed to design human diets that purposely alter metabolic compounds proportions as a way to control human microbiome.

Introduction: The emergence of the concepts like Big Data, Data Science, Machine Learning (ML), and the Internet of Things (IoT) has added the potential of research in today's world. The continuous use of IoT devices, sensors, etc. that collect data continuously puts tremendous pressure on the existing IoT network. Materials and Methods: This resource-constrained IoT environment is flooded with data acquired from millions of IoT nodes deployed at the device level. The limited resources of the IoT Network have driven the researchers towards data Management. This paper focuses on data classification at the device level, edge/fog level, and cloud level using machine learning techniques. Results: The data coming from different devices is vast and is of variety. Therefore, it becomes essential to choose the right approach for classification and analysis. It will help optimize the data at the device edge/fog level to better the network's performance in the future. Conclusion: This paper presents data classification, machine learning approaches, and a proposed mathematical model for the IoT environment.


In a typical IoT network, a sensor connects to a controller using a wireless connection. Controllers collect data from sensors and sends the data for storage and analysis[1]. These controllers work with actuators that translate an electrical input to a physical action. The internet of things (IoT), have found application in different areas of human endeavor including healthcare, government, supply chain, cities, manufacturing, etc. and it is estimated that the number of connected devices will reach 50 billion by 2020[2] With the increasing number of devices comes an increase in the the varying number of security threats to the IoT network [3]. To contain these threats, a secure-by-design approach should be adopted as this will help the IoT devices to anticipate and neutralize the ever changing nature of the threats as against older systems where security was handled as it presents itself [2] This paper x-rays the security challenges in IoT networks and the application of machine learning (Supervised learning, Unsupervised learning and Reinforcement learning) in tackling the security challenges

In this paper, we investigate whether misstatement risk estimated using advanced machine learning techniques, hereafter referred to as estimated misstatement risk (EMR), approximates auditors' risk assessments in practice. We find that auditors price EMR and that auditor turnover is more likely to occur when EMR increases, indicating that EMR is associated with auditors' risk assessment. We also find evidence that EMR is positively and significantly associated with audit fees and auditor switching for companies with Big N auditors but not for other companies, suggesting that Big N auditors are more responsive to risks captured by EMR. Additional analyses reveal that companies switching auditors when EMR increases are more likely to engage non-Big N auditors. Surprisingly, we find little evidence that the association between audit quality and EMR differs by auditor type. Our findings are consistent with the notion that the documented association between audit fees and EMR primarily reflects a risk premium in our setting.

Ayurveda medicines uses herbs for curing many ailments without side effects. The biggest concern related to Ayurveda medicine is extinction of many important medicinal herbs, which may be due to insufficient knowledge, weather conditions, and urbanization. Another reason consists of lack of online facts on Indian herbs because it is dependent on books and experts. This concern has motivated in utilizing the machine learning techniques to identify and reveal few details of Indian medicinal herbs because, until now, it is identified manually, which is cumbersome and may lead to errors. Many researchers have shown decent results in identifying and classifying plants with good accuracy and robustness. But no complete framework and strong evidence is projected on Indian medicinal herbs. Accordingly, the chapter aims to provide an outline on how machine learning techniques can be adopted to enrich the knowledge of Indian herbs, which advantages both common man and the domain experts with wide information on traditional herbs.
