The world that we live in today has so many languages that we speak throughout. Out of more than the six thousand languages that are spoken around the world, the most common is the English language. But there are people who do not understand it. When we speak of medications, the language barrier becomes riskier. If consumers are not able to understand the warning labels on the medicines, it might prove fatal to life. So it seems important that there be a tool or an application that would help them recognize and decode the warnings and/ or the instructions that are printed the medication pill containers. This tool will prove very useful for patients across the world and also people who consume any kind of medication without understanding the procedures/ risks that are specific to those medications.

Sentiment analysis of texts posted on Twitter is a natural language processing task whose importance has grown along with the increase in the number of users of the platform and the interest of organizations on the opinions of their employees, customers and users.Although Brazil is the sixth country in the world with most active users of Tweeter and Portuguese is the seventh most spoken language in the world, with 221 million speakers (200 million of them living in Brazil), the number of articles that discuss sentiment analysis approaches for Brazilian Portuguese is a small fraction of those that focus on the English language. On the other hand, few works use deep learning for this task when compared with other machine learning and lexical based methods. In this context, the work described in this article addresses the problem using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). The paper presents the results of an experimental evaluation that shows that a CNN with a relatively simple architecture can perform much better than a previous approach that uses ensembles of other machine learning classifiers combined with text preprocessing heuristics

Our day-to-day life has always been influenced by what people think. Ideas and opinions of others have always affected our own opinions. The explosion of Web 2.0 has led to increased activity in Podcasting, Blogging, Tagging, Contributing to RSS, Social Bookmarking, and Social Networking. The motion picture industry is a multi-billion-dollar business, and there is a massive amount of data related to movies are available over the internet. The framework will foresee an estimated achievement pace of a film dependent on its productivity by dissecting verifiable information from various sources like IMDB, Rotten Tomato, Box Office Mojo and Metacritic. Utilizing distinctive AI calculations, Machine Learning Tools, and different procedures the framework will foresee a film box office benefits depending on certain highlights like caste, genre, budget, actors, and many more features. The number of movies produced in the world is growing at an exponential rate and success rate of movie is of utmost importance since billions of dollars are invested in the making of each of these movies. In such a scenario, prior knowledge about the success or failure of a particular movie and what factor affect the movie success will benefit the production houses since these predictions will give them a fair idea of how to go about with the advertising and campaigning, which itself is an expensive affair altogether. Thus, predicting the box-office will help this growing industry experts to imply some important business decisions in order to make the upcoming movie more successful.

Purpose The placement of warning labels on alcoholic beverages is a policy area with renewed interest, yet a strong evidence base regarding the efficacy of text-based or pictorial warning labels has still to emerge. Increased interest by policymakers has spurred research into potential alcohol warning label designs and messages. The purpose of this article is to draw together recearch in the alcohol warnings literature. Design/methodology/approach The current study seeks to review research that has sought to examine the effectiveness of alcohol warning labels. Searches for English-language articles (since 2000) using the terms “alcohol” and “warning label*” were conducted in 2015 across four databases (Web of Science, PubMed, PsycInfo and Cochrane). Articles were included if they empirically assessed the effectiveness and/or design of alcohol warning labels. Only studies that addressed the targeted individual consumer (consistent with downstream social marketing) were included. A narrative analysis approach was used for the 15 articles identified. Findings Findings are reported on five themes covering the design of the warning, starting with the use of imagery or recommendations, followed by a focus on the warning messages and whether they are specific, use signal words and are based on qualitative or quantitative information. Research limitations/implications Overall, there was little consistency in approach and measures, with very limited research having explored the potential of pictorial warning labels. Numerous research gaps are identified; thus, much more research is needed in this area. The evidence base is weak and caution is needed by policymakers regarding the introduction and implementation of alcohol warning labels. Limitations are discussed. Originality/value The review provides a timely up-to-date evaluation of the alcohol warning labels literature that has seen a recent resurgence but has not been critically reviewed.

Dengue is unquestionably one of the biggest health concerns in India and for many other developing countries. Unfortunately, many people have lost their lives because of it. Every year, approximately 390 million dengue infections occur around the world among which 500,000 people are seriously infected and 25,000 people have died annually. Many factors could cause dengue such as temperature, humidity, precipitation, inadequate public health, and many others. In this paper, we are proposing a method to perform predictive analytics on dengue’s dataset using KNN: a machine-learning algorithm. This analysis would help in the prediction of future cases and we could save the lives of many.

Data collection and machine learning are changing the world. Whether it is medicine, sports or education, companies and institutions are investing a lot of time and money in systems that gather, process and analyse data. Likewise, to improve competitiveness, a lot of countries are making changes to their educational policy by supporting STEM disciplines. Therefore, it’s important to put effort into using various data sources to help students succeed in STEM. In this paper, we present a platform that can analyse student’s activity on various contest and e-learning systems, combine and process the data, and then present it in various ways that are easy to understand. This in turn enables teachers and organizers to recognize talented and hardworking students, identify issues, and/or motivate students to practice and work on areas where they’re weaker.

Language being a potent vehicle of transmitting cultural values, norms and beliefs remains a central factor in determining the status of any nation. India is a multilingual country which tends to encourage people to use English at national and international level. Basically English in India owes its presence to the British but its subsequent rise is not fully attributable to the British. It has now become the language of wider communication which is now spoken by large number of people all over the world. It is influenced by many factors such as class, society, developments in science and technology etc. However the major influence on English language is and has been the media.
