In the software industry, where the quality of the output is based on human performance, fatigue can be a reason for performance degradation. Fatigue not only degrades quality, but is also a health risk factor. Sleep disorders, depression, and stress are all results of fatigue which can contribute to fatal problems. This article presents a comparative study of different techniques which can be used for detecting fatigue of programmers and data miners who spent lots of time in front of a computer screen. Machine learning can used for worker fatigue detection also, but there are some factors which are specific for software workers. One of such factors is screen illumination. Screen illumination is the light of the computer screen or laptop screen that is casted on the workers face and makes it difficult for the machine learning algorithm to extract the facial features. This article presents a comparative study of the techniques which can be used for general fatigue detection and identifies the best techniques.

Automated quantification of behavior is increasingly prevalent in neuroscience research. Human judgments can influence machine-learning-based behavior classification at multiple steps in the process, for both supervised and unsupervised approaches. Such steps include the design of the algorithm for machine learning, the methods used for animal tracking, the choice of training images, and the benchmarking of classification outcomes. However, how these design choices contribute to the interpretation of automated behavioral classifications has not been extensively characterized. Here, we quantify the effects of experimenter choices on the outputs of automated classifiers of Drosophila social behaviors. Drosophila behaviors contain a considerable degree of variability, which was reflected in the confidence levels associated with both human and computer classifications. We found that a diversity of sex combinations and tracking features was important for robust performance of the automated classifiers. In particular, features concerning the relative position of flies contained useful information for training a machine-learning algorithm. These observations shed light on the importance of human influence on tracking algorithms, the selection of training images, and the quality of annotated sample images used to benchmark the performance of a classifier (the ‘ground truth’). Evaluation of these factors is necessary for researchers to accurately interpret behavioral data quantified by a machine-learning algorithm and to further improve automated classifications.

With the blessings of Science and Technology, as the death rate is getting decreased, population is getting increased. With that, the utilization of Land is also getting increased for urbanization for which the quality of Land is degrading day by day and also the climates as well as vegetations are getting affected. To keep the Land quality at its best possible, the study on Land cover images, which are acquired from satellites based on time series, spatial and colour, are required to understand how the Land can be used further in future. Using NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and Machine Learning algorithms (either supervised or unsupervised), now it is possible to classify areas and predict about Land utilization in future years. Our proposed study is to enhance the acquired images with better Vegetation Index which will segment and classify the data in more efficient way and by feeding these data to the Machine Learning algorithm model, higher accuracy will be achieved. Hence, a novel approach with proper model, Machine Learning algorithm and greater accuracy is always acceptable
