Learning is the ability to improve behavior based on former experiences and observations. Nowadays, mankind continuously attempts to train computers for his purpose, and make them smarter through trainings and experiments. Learning machines are a branch of artificial intelligence with the aim of reaching machines able to extract knowledge (learning) from the environment. Classical, fuzzy classification, as a subcategory of machine learning, has an important role in reaching these goals in this area. In the present chapter, we undertake to elaborate and explain some useful and efficient methods of classical versus fuzzy classification. Moreover, we compare them, investigating their advantages and disadvantages.

Background Sleep is essential for human health. Considerable effort has been put into academic and industrial research and in the development of wireless body area networks for sleep monitoring in terms of nonintrusiveness, portability, and autonomy. With the help of rapid advances in smart sensing and communication technologies, various sleep monitoring systems (hereafter, sleep monitoring systems) have been developed with advantages such as being low cost, accessible, discreet, contactless, unmanned, and suitable for long-term monitoring. Objective This paper aims to review current research in sleep monitoring to serve as a reference for researchers and to provide insights for future work. Specific selection criteria were chosen to include articles in which sleep monitoring systems or devices are covered. Methods This review investigates the use of various common sensors in the hardware implementation of current sleep monitoring systems as well as the types of parameters collected, their position in the body, the possible description of sleep phases, and the advantages and drawbacks. In addition, the data processing algorithms and software used in different studies on sleep monitoring systems and their results are presented. This review was not only limited to the study of laboratory research but also investigated the various popular commercial products available for sleep monitoring, presenting their characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages. In particular, we categorized existing research on sleep monitoring systems based on how the sensor is used, including the number and type of sensors, and the preferred position in the body. In addition to focusing on a specific system, issues concerning sleep monitoring systems such as privacy, economic, and social impact are also included. Finally, we presented an original sleep monitoring system solution developed in our laboratory. Results By retrieving a large number of articles and abstracts, we found that hotspot techniques such as big data, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data mining have not been widely applied to the sleep monitoring research area. Accelerometers are the most commonly used sensor in sleep monitoring systems. Most commercial sleep monitoring products cannot provide performance evaluation based on gold standard polysomnography. Conclusions Combining hotspot techniques such as big data, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data mining with sleep monitoring may be a promising research approach and will attract more researchers in the future. Balancing user acceptance and monitoring performance is the biggest challenge in sleep monitoring system research.

In machine learning and data mining, most of the works in classification problems deal with flat classification, where each instance is classified in one of a set of possible classes and there is no hierarchical relationship between the classes. There are, however, more complex classification problems where the classes to be predicted are hierarchically related. This chapter presents a tutorial on the hierarchical classification techniques found in the literature. We also discuss how hierarchical classification techniques have been applied to the area of bioinformatics (particularly the prediction of protein function), where hierarchical classification problems are often found.

This chapter focuses on the process of the machine learning with considering the architecture of software-defined networks (SDNs) and their security mechanisms. In general, machine learning has been studied widely in traditional network problems, but recently there have been a limited number of studies in the literature that connect SDN security and machine learning approaches. The main reason of this situation is that the structure of SDN has emerged newly and become different from the traditional networks. These structural variances are also summarized and compared in this chapter. After the main properties of the network architectures, several intrusion detection studies on SDN are introduced and analyzed according to their advantages and disadvantages. Upon this schedule, this chapter also aims to be the first organized guide that presents the referenced studies on the SDN security and artificial intelligence together.

Abstract Background: Information technology has continued to shape contemporary thematic trends. Advances in communication have impacted almost all themes ranging from education, engineering, healthcare, and many other aspects of our daily lives. Method: This paper attempts to review the different dynamics of the thematic IoT platforms. A select number of themes are extensively analyzed with emphasis on data mining (DM), personalized healthcare (PHC), and thematic trends of a select number of subjectively identified IoT-related publications over three years. In this paper, the number of IoT-related-publications is used as a proxy representing the number of apps. DM remains the trailblazer, serving as a theme with crosscutting qualities that drive artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and data transformation. A case study in PHC illustrates the importance, complexity, productivity optimization, and nuances contributing to a successful IoT platform. Among the initial 99 IoT themes, 18 are extensively analyzed using the number of IoT publications to demonstrate a combination of different thematic dynamics, including subtleties that influence escalating IoT publication themes. Results: Based on findings amongst the 99 themes, the annual median IoT-related publications for all the themes over the four years were increasingly 5510, 8930, 11700, and 14800 for 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 respectively; indicating an upbeat prognosis of IoT dynamics. Conclusion: The vulnerabilities that come with the successful implementation of IoT systems are highlighted including the successes currently achieved by institutions promoting the benefits of IoT-related systems like the case study. Security continues to be an issue of significant importance.

Concepts like Machine Learning, Data Mining or Artificial Intelligence have become part of our daily life. This is mostly due to the incredible advances made in computation (hardware and software), the increasing capabilities of generating and storing all types of data and, especially, the benefits (societal and economical) that generate the analysis of such data. Simultaneously, Chemometrics has played an important role since the late 1970s, analyzing data within natural science (and especially in Analytical Chemistry). Even with the strong parallelisms between all of the abovementioned terms and being popular with most of us, it is still difficult to clearly define or differentiate the meaning of Machine Learning, Data Mining, Artificial Intelligence, Deep Learning and Chemometrics. This manuscript brings some light to the definitions of Machine Learning, Data Mining, Artificial Intelligence and Big Data Analysis, defines their application ranges and seeks an application space within the field of analytical chemistry (a.k.a. Chemometrics). The manuscript is full of personal, sometimes probably subjective, opinions and statements. Therefore, all opinions here are open for constructive discussion with the only purpose of Learning (like the Machines do nowadays).
