BACKGROUND The rapid growth of the biomedical literature makes identifying strong evidence a time-consuming task. Applying machine learning to the process could be a viable solution that limits effort while maintaining accuracy. OBJECTIVE To summarize the nature and comparative performance of machine learning approaches that have been applied to retrieve high-quality evidence for clinical consideration from the biomedical literature. METHODS We conducted a systematic review of studies that applied machine learning techniques to identify high-quality clinical articles in the biomedical literature. Multiple databases were searched to July 2020. Extracted data focused on the applied machine learning model, steps in the development of the models, and model performance. RESULTS From 3918 retrieved studies, 10 met our inclusion criteria. All followed a supervised machine learning approach and applied, from a limited range of options, a high-quality standard for the training of their model. The results show that machine learning can achieve a sensitivity of 95% while maintaining a high precision of 86%. CONCLUSIONS Applying machine learning to distinguish studies with strong evidence for clinical care has the potential to decrease the workload of manually identifying these. The evidence base is active and evolving. Reported methods were variable across the studies but focused on supervised machine learning approaches. Performance may improve by applying more sophisticated approaches such as active learning, auto-machine learning, and unsupervised machine learning approaches.

UNSTRUCTURED Due to the continued rapid growth in published biomedical literature, it is increasingly difficult to identify and retrieve high-quality evidence. Machine learning approaches have been applied to address this issue. Some models developed using supervised machine learning approaches have achieved high sensitivity or recall, however precision has been variable. In a series of experiments, we will assess the performance of machine learning models to retrieve high-quality, high relevance evidence for clinical consideration from the biomedical literature. The models will be trained using an automated approach applied to a database of almost 100, 000 articles that have been tagged by highly trained research staff based on criteria for high-quality and assessed for clinical relevance by clinicians. We will evaluate and report on the effects of various classifiers, preprocessing steps, feature selection, and the use of balanced vs unbalanced datasets applied during model development on the performance of the derived supervised machine learning models. The series was devised to improve the precision of the retrieval of high-quality articles by applying a machine learning classifier sequentially after using high sensitivity Boolean search filters to an ongoing literature surveillance process. Our multi-level analysis of the various steps of machine learning model development will help expand the existing knowledge base on the effect of each step on the performance of machine learning models.

Locomotion assistive devices equipped with a microprocessor can potentially automatically adapt their behavior when the user is transitioning from one locomotion mode to another. Many developments in the field have come from machine learning driven controllers on locomotion assistive devices that recognize/predict the current locomotion mode or the upcoming one. This review synthesizes the machine learning algorithms designed to recognize or to predict a locomotion mode in order to automatically adapt the behavior of a locomotion assistive device. A systematic review was conducted on the Web of Science and MEDLINE databases (as well as in the retrieved papers) to identify articles published between 1 January 2000 to 31 July 2020. This systematic review is reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and is registered on Prospero (CRD42020149352). Study characteristics, sensors and algorithms used, accuracy and robustness were also summarized. In total, 1343 records were identified and 58 studies were included in this review. The experimental condition which was most often investigated was level ground walking along with stair and ramp ascent/descent activities. The machine learning algorithms implemented in the included studies reached global mean accuracies of around 90%. However, the robustness of those algorithms seems to be more broadly evaluated, notably, in everyday life. We also propose some guidelines for homogenizing future reports.

Abstract: The way politicians communicate with the electorateand run electoral campaigns was reshaped by the emergence and popularization of contemporary social media (SM), such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram social networks (SN). Due to inherent capabilities of SM, such as the large amount of available data accessed in real time, a new research subject has emerged, focusing on using SM data to predict election outcomes. Despite many studies conducted in the last decade, results are very controversial, and many times challenged. In this context, this work aims to investigate and summarize how research on predicting elections based on SM data has evolved since its beginning, to outline the state of both the art and the practice,and to identify research opportunities within this field. In termsof method, we performed a systematic literature review analyzingthe quantity and quality of publications, the electoral context of studies, the main approaches to and characteristics of the successful studies, as well as their main strengths and challenges, and compared our results with previous reviews. We identified and analyzed 83 relevant studies, and the challenges were identified in many areas such as process, sampling, modeling, performance evaluation and scientific rigor. Main findings include the low success of the most-used approach, namely volume and sentiment analysis on Twitter, and the better results with new approaches, such as regression methods trained with traditional polls. Finally, a vision of future research on integrating advances on process definitions, modeling, and evaluation is also discussed, pointing out, among others, the need for better investigating the application of state-of-art machine learning approaches.

A very significant increase in the spread of malware has resulted in malware analysis. A recent approach to using the internet of things has been put forward by many researchers. Iot tool learning approaches as a more effective and efficient approach to dealing with malware compared to conventional approaches. At the same time, the researchers transformed the honeypot as a device capable of gathering malware information. The honeypot is designed as a malware trap and is stored on the provided system. Then log the managed events and gather information about the activity and identity of the attacker. This paper aims to use a honeypot in machine learning to deal with malware The Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method was used to identify 207. Then 10 papers were selected to be investigated based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. . The technique used by most researchers is to utilize the available honeypot dataset. Meanwhile, based on the type of malware being analyzed, honeypot in machine learning is mostly used to collect IoT-based malware.
