Turbine recommender: The selection of wind turbine type using one of a machine learning technique

This study aims to utilize the machine learning technique to build a model to recommend the suitable wind turbine type based on some variables, such as air speed and air density, as well as visualize the location of the recommended wind turbine selection on a 3D map. Particularly, we applied the K-nearest neighbor model (KNN) to determine the amount of energy produced by a single wind turbine. We applied it on 10 separate wind farms in Saudi Arabia. The results indicate that the model performs very well in predicting the best wind turbine type with the mean accuracy of 88%, where ten wind stations resulted from the optimized model with the suggested turbine type in each station. Adding more wind attributes and other factors may assist in increasing the model mean accuracy. The project’s findings will assist decision-makers in Saudi Arabia to make informed decisions as to what kind of wind turbine is suitable for a specific location. In the long run, this will help to make wind energy-a sustainable source of energy-one of the main goals of the 2030 vision, specifically under National Industrial Development and Logistics Program.

Privacy-Preserving Federated Learning Using Homomorphic Encryption

Federated learning (FL) is a machine learning technique that enables distributed devices to train a learning model collaboratively without sharing their local data. FL-based systems can achieve much stronger privacy preservation since the distributed devices deliver only local model parameters trained with local data to a centralized server. However, there exists a possibility that a centralized server or attackers infer/extract sensitive private information using the structure and parameters of local learning models. We propose employing homomorphic encryption (HE) scheme that can directly perform arithmetic operations on ciphertexts without decryption to protect the model parameters. Using the HE scheme, the proposed privacy-preserving federated learning (PPFL) algorithm enables the centralized server to aggregate encrypted local model parameters without decryption. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm allows each node to use a different HE private key in the same FL-based system using a distributed cryptosystem. The performance analysis and evaluation of the proposed PPFL algorithm are conducted in various cloud computing-based FL service scenarios.

The general design of the automation for multiple fields using reinforcement learning algorithm

<p>Reinforcement learning is considered as a machine learning technique that is anxious with software agents should behave in particular environment. Reinforcement learning (RL) is a division of deep learning concept that assists you to make best use of some part of the collective return. In this paper evolving reinforcement learning algorithms shows possible to learn a fresh and understable concept by using a graph representation and applying optimization methods from the auto machine learning society. In this observe, we stand for the loss function, it is used to optimize an agent’s parameter in excess of its knowledge, as an imputational graph, and use traditional evolution to develop a population of the imputational graphs over a set of uncomplicated guidance environments. These outcomes in gradually better RL algorithms and the exposed algorithms simplify to more multifaceted environments, even though with visual annotations.</p>

Edge Analytics With Machine Learning Technique for Medical IoT Applications

Edge analytics are tools and algorithms that are deployed in the internal storage of IoT devices or IoT gateways that collect, process, and analyze the data locally rather than transmitting it to the cloud for analysis. Edge analytics is applied in a wide range of applications in which immediate decision making is required. In the case of general IoT data analytics on the cloud, the data need to be collected from the IoT devices and to be sent to the cloud for further processing and decision making. In life-critical applications such as healthcare, the time taken to send the data to the cloud and then getting back the processed data to take decisions will not be acceptable. Hence, in these kinds of MIoT applications, it is essential to have analytics to be done on the edge in order to avoid such delays. Hence, this chapter is providing an abstract view on the application of machine learning in MIoT so that the data analytics provides fruitful results to the stakeholders.

The effects of applying filters on EEG signals for classifying developers’ code comprehension

EEG signals are a relevant indicator for measuring aspects related to human factors in Software Engineering. EEG is used in software engineering to train machine learning techniques for a wide range of applications, including classifying task difficulty, and developers’ level of experience. The EEG signal contains noise such as abnormal readings, electrical interference, and eye movements, which are usually not of interest to the analysis, and therefore contribute to the lack of precision of the machine learning techniques. However, research in software engineering has not evidenced the effectiveness when applying these filters on EEG signals. The objective of this work is to analyze the effectiveness of filters on EEG signals in the software engineering context. As literature did not focus on the classification of developers’ code comprehension, this study focuses on the analysis of the effectiveness of applying EEG filters for training a machine learning technique to classify developers' code comprehension. A Random Forest (RF) machine learning technique was trained with filtered EEG signals to classify the developers' code comprehension. This study also trained another random forest classifier with unfiltered EEG data. Both models were trained using 10-fold cross-validation. This work measures the classifiers' effectiveness using the f-measure metric. This work used the t-test, Wilcoxon, and U Mann Whitney to analyze the difference in the effectiveness measures (f-measure) between the classifier trained with filtered EEG and the classifier trained with unfiltered EEG. The tests pointed out that there is a significant difference after applying EEG filters to classify developers' code comprehension with the random forest classifier. The conclusion is that the use of EEG filters significantly improves the effectivity to classify code comprehension using the random forest technique.

Multi-task learning framework for predicting water quality using non-linear machine learning technique

Predicting the quality of water is a very important issue in an ecosystem and it can be used to control the increase of water contamination. Also, water quality prediction is a prominent complex non-linear multi-target learning problem and extracting a relevant subset of features from a large number of features with multiple targets is a challenging task. Existing water quality prediction model not focused on multi-target learning process simultaneously and not identifying the non-linear relationship between the features and target variables. Therefore, this study proposes a multi-task learning method dealing with multi-target regression using non-linear machine learning technique. Finally, experiments are conducted to build a prediction model based on the proposed methods to evaluate accuracy on water quality dataset. The experimental results indicate that our method increases the overall accuracy of the experimental dataset compared with the existing methods with the reduced number of significant features.
