A New Technique

Accidents have become major issue in Developing countries like India now a day. As per the Surveys 60% of the accidents are happening due to over speed. Though the government has taken so many initiatives like Traffic Awareness & Driving Awareness Week etc.., but still the percentage of accidents are not getting reduced. In this paper a new technique has been introduced to reduce the percentage of accidents. The new technique is implemented using the concept of Machine Learning [1]. The Machine Learning based systems can be implemented in all vehicles to avoid the accidents at low cost [1]. The main objective of this system is to calculate the speed of the vehicle at three various locations based on the place where the vehicle speed must be controlled and if the speed is greater than the designated speed in that road then the vehicle automatically detects the problem and same will be intimated to the driver to control the speed of the vehicle. If the speed is less or equal to the designated speed in that road then the vehicle will be passed without any disturbance. The system will be giving beep sound along with color indication to driver in each and every scenario. The other option implemented in this system is if the driver is driving the vehicle in the night and if he feel drowsy the system detects it immediately and alarm sound will be initiated to wake up the driver. This system though it won’t avoid 100% accidents at least it will reduce the percentage of accidents. This system is not only to avoid accidents it will also intelligently control the speed of the vehicles and creates awareness amongst the drivers.

Mental workload is considered one of the most important factors in interaction design and how to detect a user's mental workload during tasks is still an open research question. Psychological evidence has already attributed a certain amount of variability and “drift” in an individual's handwriting pattern to mental stress, but this phenomenon has not been explored adequately. The intention of this paper is to explore the possibility of evaluating mental workload with handwriting information by machine learning techniques. Machine learning techniques such as decision trees, support vector machine (SVM), and artificial neural network were used to predict mental workload levels in the authors' research. Results showed that it was possible to make prediction of mental workload levels automatically based on handwriting patterns with relatively high accuracy, especially on patterns of children. In addition, the proposed approach is attractive because it requires no additional hardware, is unobtrusive, is adaptable to individual users, and is of very low cost.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> The knowledge about the occupancy of an indoor space can serve to various domains ranging from emergency response to energy efficiency in buildings. The literature in the field presents various methods for occupancy detection. Data gathered for occupancy detection, can also be used to predict the number of occupants at a certain indoor space and time. The aim of this research was to determine the number of occupants in an indoor space, through the utilisation of information acquired from a set of sensors and machine learning techniques. The sensor types used in this research was a sound level sensor, temperature/humidity level sensor and an air quality level sensor. Based on data acquired from these sensors six automatic classification techniques are employed and tested with the aim of automatically detecting the number of occupants in an indoor space by making use of multi-sensor information. The results of the tests demonstrated that machine learning techniques can be used as a tool for prediction of number of occupants in an indoor space.</p>

Abstract The rapid urbanization and industrial development have resulted in water contamination and water quality deterioration at an alarming rate, deeming its quick, inexpensive and accurate detection imperative. Conventional methods to measure water quality are lengthy, expensive and inefficient, including the manual analysis process carried out in a laboratory. The research work in this paper focuses on the problem from various perspectives, including the traditional methods of determining water quality to gain insight into the problem and the analysis of state-of-the-art technologies, including Internet of Things (IoT) and machine learning techniques to address water quality. After analyzing the currently available solutions, this paper proposes an IoT-based low-cost system employing machine learning techniques to monitor water quality in real time, analyze water quality trends and detect anomalous events such as intentional contamination of water.

Objective Anticipating fetal risk is a major factor in reducing child and maternal mortality and suffering. In this context cardiotocography (CTG) is a low cost, well established procedure that has been around for decades, despite lacking consensus regarding its impact on outcomes. Machine learning emerged as an option for automatic classification of CTG records, as previous studies showed expert level results, but often came at the price of reduced generalization potential. With that in mind, the present study sought to improve statistical rigor of evaluation towards real world application. Materials and Methods In this study, a dataset of 2126 CTG recordings labeled as normal, suspect or pathological by the consensus of three expert obstetricians was used to create a baseline random forest model. This was followed by creating a lightgbm model tuned using gaussian process regression and post processed using cross validation ensembling. Performance was assessed using the area under the precision-recall curve (AUPRC) metric over 100 experiment executions, each using a testing set comprised of 30% of data stratified by the class label. Results The best model was a cross validation ensemble of lightgbm models that yielded 95.82% AUPRC. Conclusions The model is shown to produce consistent expert level performance at a less than negligible cost. At an estimated 0.78 USD per million predictions the model can generate value in settings with CTG qualified personnel and all the more in their absence.

The Coronavirus pandemic caused by the novel SARS-CoV-2 has significantly impacted human health and the economy, especially in countries struggling with financial resources for medical testing and treatment, such as Brazil’s case, the third most affected country by the pandemic. In this scenario, machine learning techniques have been heavily employed to analyze different types of medical data, and aid decision making, offering a low-cost alternative. Due to the urgency to fight the pandemic, a massive amount of works are applying machine learning approaches to clinical data, including complete blood count (CBC) tests, which are among the most widely available medical tests. In this work, we review the most employed machine learning classifiers for CBC data, together with popular sampling methods to deal with the class imbalance. Additionally, we describe and critically analyze three publicly available Brazilian COVID-19 CBC datasets and evaluate the performance of eight classifiers and five sampling techniques on the selected datasets. Our work provides a panorama of which classifier and sampling methods provide the best results for different relevant metrics and discuss their impact on future analyses. The metrics and algorithms are introduced in a way to aid newcomers to the field. Finally, the panorama discussed here can significantly benefit the comparison of the results of new ML algorithms.
