In the metropolitan region, most congestion or traffic jams are caused by the uneven distribution of traffic flow that creates bottleneck points where the traffic volume exceeds the road capacity. Additionally, unexpected incidents are the next most probable cause of these bottleneck regions. Moreover, most drivers are driving based on their empirical experience without awareness of real-time traffic situations. This unintelligent traffic behavior can make the congestion problem worse. Prediction based route guidance systems show great improvements in solving the inefficient diversion strategy problem by estimating future travel time when calculating accurate travel time is difficult. However, performances of machine learning based prediction models that are based on the historical data set degrade sharply during a congestion situation. This paper develops a new navigation system for reducing travel time of an individual driver and distributing the flow of urban traffic efficiently in order to reduce the occurrence of congestion. Compared with previous route guidance systems, the results reveal that our system, applying the advanced multi-lane prediction based real-time fastest path (AMPRFP) algorithm, can significantly reduce the travel time especially when drivers travel in a complex route environment and face frequent congestion problems. Unlike the previous system,1 it can be applied either for single lane or multi-lane urban traffic networks where the reason for congestion is significantly complex. We also demonstrate the advantages of this system and verify the results using real highway traffic data and a synthetic experiment.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) enabled optimisation of train’s passenger traffic flows is a key consideration of transportation under Smart City planning (SCP). Traditional mobility prediction based optimisation and encryption approaches are reactive in nature; however, Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven proactive solutions are required for near real-time optimisation. Leveraging the historical passenger data recorded via Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) sensors installed at the train stations, mobility prediction models can be developed to support and improve the railway operational performance vis-a-vis 5G and beyond. In this paper we have analysed the passenger traffic flows based on an Access, Egress and Interchange (AEI) framework to support train infrastructure against congestion, accidents, overloading carriages and maintenance. This paper predominantly focuses on developing passenger flow predictions using Machine Learning (ML) along with a novel encryption model that is capable of handling the heavy passenger traffic flow in real-time. We have compared and reported the performance of various ML driven flow prediction models using real-world passenger flow data obtained from London Underground and Overground (LUO). Extensive spatio-temporal simulations leveraging realistic mobility prediction models show that an AEI framework can achieve 91.17% prediction accuracy along with secure and light-weight encryption capabilities. Security parameters such as correlation coefficient (<0.01), entropy (>7.70), number of pixel change rate (>99%), unified average change intensity (>33), contrast (>10), homogeneity (<0.3) and energy (<0.01) prove the efficacy of the proposed encryption scheme.

Software quality prediction is one the most challenging tasks in the development and maintenance of software. Machine learning (ML) is widely being incorporated for the prediction of the quality of a final product in the early development stages of the software development life cycle (SDLC). An ML prediction model uses software metrics and faulty data from previous projects to detect high-risk modules for future projects, so that the testing efforts can be targeted to those specific ‘risky' modules. Hence, ML-based predictors contribute to the detection of development anomalies early and inexpensively and ensure the timely delivery of a successful, failure-free and supreme quality software product within budget. This article has a comparison of 30 software quality prediction models (5 technique * 6 dataset) built on five ML techniques: artificial neural network (ANN); support vector machine (SVMs); Decision Tree (DTs); k-Nearest Neighbor (KNN); and Naïve Bayes Classifiers (NBC), using six datasets: CM1, KC1, KC2, PC1, JM1, and a combined one. These models exploit the predictive power of static code metrics, McCabe complexity metrics, for quality prediction. All thirty predictors are compared using a receiver operator curve (ROC), area under the curve (AUC), and accuracy as performance evaluation criteria. The results show that the ANN technique for software quality prediction is promising for accurate quality prediction irrespective of the dataset used.

In our day to day life, the availability of correctly labelled data as well as handling of categorical data are mostly acknowledged as two main challenges in dynamic analysis. Therefore, clustering techniques are applied on unlabelled data to group them in accordance with the homogeneity. There are many prediction methods that are being popularly used in handling forecasting problems in real time environment. The outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID19)-2019 creates the need for a medical emergency of worldwide concern with a rapidly high danger of open out and strike the entire world. Recently, the ML prediction models were used in many real time applications which necessitate the identification and categorization for real time environment. In medical field Prediction models are vital role to obtain observations of spread and significances of infectious diseases. Machine learning related forecasting mechanisms have showed their importance to develop the decision making on the upcoming course of actions. The K-means algorithm and hierarchy were applied directly on the renewed dataset using R programming language to create the covid patient cluster. Confirmed Covid patients count are passed to Prophet package, then the prophet model has been created. This forecasts model predicts the future covid count, which is essential for the clinical and healthcare leaders to make the appropriate measures in advance. The results of the experiments indicate that the quality of Hierarchical clustering outperforms than the K-Means clustering algorithm in the structured structured dataset. Thus, the prediction model also used to support model predictions help for the officials to take timely actions and make decisions to contain the COVID-19 dilemma. This work concludes Hierarchical clustering algorithm is the best model for clustering the covid data set obtained from world health organization (WHO).

Nondestructive test (NDT) technology is required in the gas metal arc (GMA) welding process to secure weld robustness and to monitor the welding quality in real-time. In this study, a laser vision sensor (LVS) is designed and fabricated, and an image processing algorithm is developed and implemented to extract precise laser lines on tested welds. A camera calibration method based on a gyro sensor is used to cope with the complex motion of the welding robot. Data are obtained based on GMA welding experiments at various welding conditions for the estimation of quality prediction models. Deep neural network (DNN) models are developed based on external bead shapes and welding conditions to predict the internal bead shapes and the tensile strengths of welded joints.

In this paper, we tackle air quality forecasting by using machine learning approaches to predict the hourly concentration of air pollutants (e.g., ozone, particle matter ( PM 2.5 ) and sulfur dioxide). Machine learning, as one of the most popular techniques, is able to efficiently train a model on big data by using large-scale optimization algorithms. Although there exist some works applying machine learning to air quality prediction, most of the prior studies are restricted to several-year data and simply train standard regression models (linear or nonlinear) to predict the hourly air pollution concentration. In this work, we propose refined models to predict the hourly air pollution concentration on the basis of meteorological data of previous days by formulating the prediction over 24 h as a multi-task learning (MTL) problem. This enables us to select a good model with different regularization techniques. We propose a useful regularization by enforcing the prediction models of consecutive hours to be close to each other and compare it with several typical regularizations for MTL, including standard Frobenius norm regularization, nuclear norm regularization, and ℓ 2 , 1 -norm regularization. Our experiments have showed that the proposed parameter-reducing formulations and consecutive-hour-related regularizations achieve better performance than existing standard regression models and existing regularizations.

Several prognosis prediction models have been developed for breast cancer (BC) patients with curative surgery, but there is still an unmet need to precisely determine BC prognosis for individual BC patients in real time. This is a retrospectively collected data analysis from adjuvant BC registry at Samsung Medical Center between January 2000 and December 2016. The initial data set contained 325 clinical data elements: baseline characteristics with demographics, clinical and pathologic information, and follow-up clinical information including laboratory and imaging data during surveillance. Weibull Time To Event Recurrent Neural Network (WTTE-RNN) by Martinsson was implemented for machine learning. We searched for the optimal window size as time-stamped inputs. To develop the prediction model, data from 13,117 patients were split into training (60%), validation (20%), and test (20%) sets. The median follow-up duration was 4.7 years and the median number of visits was 8.4. We identified 32 features related to BC recurrence and considered them in further analyses. Performance at a point of statistics was calculated using Harrell's C-index and area under the curve (AUC) at each 2-, 5-, and 7-year points. After 200 training epochs with a batch size of 100, the C-index reached 0.92 for the training data set and 0.89 for the validation and test data sets. The AUC values were 0.90 at 2-year point, 0.91 at 5-year point, and 0.91 at 7-year point. The deep learning-based final model outperformed three other machine learning-based models. In terms of pathologic characteristics, the median absolute error (MAE) and weighted mean absolute error (wMAE) showed great results of as little as 3.5%. This BC prognosis model to determine the probability of BC recurrence in real time was developed using information from the time of BC diagnosis and the follow-up period in RNN machine learning model.
