BACKGROUND The use of artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized every area of life such as business and trade, social and electronic media, education and learning, manufacturing industries, medical and sciences, and every other sector. The new reforms and advanced technologies of AI have enabled data analysts to transmute raw data generated by these sectors into meaningful insights for an effective decision-making process. Health care is one of the integral sectors where a large amount of data is generated daily, and making effective decisions based on this data is therefore a challenge. In health care, cases related to childbirth either by the traditional method of vaginal delivery or cesarean delivery have been investigated in this study. Cesarean delivery is performed to save both mother and fetal lives when complications arise related to vaginal birth. OBJECTIVE To develop reliable prediction models for a maternity care decision support system to predict mode of delivery before birth. METHODS This study is conducted in two folds for identifying the mode of delivery: firstly, to enrich the existing dataset; secondly, to investigate previous medical records about the mode of delivery using machine learning algorithms and extract meaningful insight into the unseen cases. To achieve this objective, several prediction models were trained such as Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest (RF), AdaBoostM1 (AB), Bagging, and k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN), based on original and enriched datasets. RESULTS To achieve the objective, several prediction models were trained such as Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest (RF), AdaBoostM1 (AB), Bagging, and k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) based on original and enriched datasets. As an outcome, the prediction models based on enriched data performed well in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, F-measure, and ROC. Specifically, k-NN outperformed with an accuracy of 84.38%, Bagging (83.75%), RF (83.13%), DT (81.25%), and AB (80.63%). In the end, enriching the dataset improves the accuracy of the prediction process, which supports maternity care practitioners in making decisions for critical cases. CONCLUSIONS Enriching the dataset improves the accuracy of the prediction process, which supports maternity care practitioners in making decisions for critical cases. The enriched dataset in its current stage used in this study yields better results, but this could be even better if its records were increased with real clinical data.

Cesarean delivery is performed to save both the mother and the fetus when complications related to vaginal birth arise. Objective The aim of this study was to develop reliable prediction models for a maternity care decision support system to predict the mode of delivery before childbirth. Methods This study was conducted in 2 parts for identifying the mode of childbirth: first, the existing data set was enriched and second, previous medical records about the mode of delivery were investigated using machine learning algorithms and by extracting meaningful insights from unseen cases. Several prediction models were trained to achieve this objective, such as decision tree, random forest, AdaBoostM1, bagging, and k-nearest neighbor, based on original and enriched data sets. Results The prediction models based on enriched data performed well in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, F-measure, and receiver operating characteristic curves in the outcomes. Specifically, the accuracy of k-nearest neighbor was 84.38%, that of bagging was 83.75%, that of random forest was 83.13%, that of decision tree was 81.25%, and that of AdaBoostM1 was 80.63%. Enrichment of the data set had a good impact on improving the accuracy of the prediction process, which supports maternity care practitioners in making decisions in critical cases. Conclusions Our study shows that enriching the data set improves the accuracy of the prediction process, thereby supporting maternity care practitioners in making informed decisions in critical cases. The enriched data set used in this study yields good results, but this data set can become even better if the records are increased with real clinical data.

Cloud computing is characterized as the arrangement of assets or administrations accessible through the web to the clients on their request by cloud providers. It communicates everything as administrations over the web in view of the client request, for example operating system, organize equipment, storage, assets, and software. Nowadays, Intrusion Detection System (IDS) plays a powerful system, which deals with the influence of experts to get actions when the system is hacked under some intrusions. Most intrusion detection frameworks are created in light of machine learning strategies. Since the datasets, this utilized as a part of intrusion detection is Knowledge Discovery in Database (KDD). In this paper detect or classify the intruded data utilizing Machine Learning (ML) with the MapReduce model. The primary face considers Hadoop MapReduce model to reduce the extent of database ideal weight decided for reducer model and second stage utilizing Decision Tree (DT) classifier to detect the data. This DT classifier comprises utilizing an appropriate classifier to decide the class labels for the non-homogeneous leaf nodes. The decision tree fragment gives a coarse section profile while the leaf level classifier can give data about the qualities that influence the label inside a portion. From the proposed result accuracy for detection is 96.21% contrasted with existing classifiers, for example, Neural Network (NN), Naive Bayes (NB) and K Nearest Neighbor (KNN).

Extreme Gradient Boosting

Artificial terraces are of great importance for agricultural production and soil and water conservation. Automatic high-accuracy mapping of artificial terraces is the basis of monitoring and related studies. Previous research achieved artificial terrace mapping based on high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) or imagery. As a result of the importance of the contextual information for terrace mapping, object-based image analysis (OBIA) combined with machine learning (ML) technologies are widely used. However, the selection of an appropriate classifier is of great importance for the terrace mapping task. In this study, the performance of an integrated framework using OBIA and ML for terrace mapping was tested. A catchment, Zhifanggou, in the Loess Plateau, China, was used as the study area. First, optimized image segmentation was conducted. Then, features from the DEMs and imagery were extracted, and the correlations between the features were analyzed and ranked for classification. Finally, three different commonly-used ML classifiers, namely, extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), random forest (RF), and k-nearest neighbor (KNN), were used for terrace mapping. The comparison with the ground truth, as delineated by field survey, indicated that random forest performed best, with a 95.60% overall accuracy (followed by 94.16% and 92.33% for XGBoost and KNN, respectively). The influence of class imbalance and feature selection is discussed. This work provides a credible framework for mapping artificial terraces.

Abstract Advances in computational algorithms and the availability of large datasets with clinically relevant characteristics provide an opportunity to develop machine learning prediction models to aid in diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of older adults. Some studies have employed machine learning methods for prediction modeling, but skepticism of these methods remains due to lack of reproducibility and difficulty understanding the complex algorithms behind models. We aim to provide an overview of two common machine learning methods: decision tree and random forest. We focus on these methods because they provide a high degree of interpretability. We discuss the underlying algorithms of decision tree and random forest methods and present a tutorial for developing prediction models for serious fall injury using data from the Lifestyle Interventions and Independence for Elders (LIFE) study. Decision tree is a machine learning method that produces a model resembling a flow chart. Random forest consists of a collection of many decision trees whose results are aggregated. In the tutorial example, we discuss evaluation metrics and interpretation for these models. Illustrated in data from the LIFE study, prediction models for serious fall injury were moderate at best (area under the receiver operating curve of 0.54 for decision tree and 0.66 for random forest). Machine learning methods may offer improved performance compared to traditional models for modeling outcomes in aging, but their use should be justified and output should be carefully described. Models should be assessed by clinical experts to ensure compatibility with clinical practice.

Barrier islands are dynamic environments because of their position along the marine–estuarine interface. Geomorphology influences habitat distribution on barrier islands by regulating exposure to harsh abiotic conditions. Researchers have identified linkages between habitat and landscape position, such as elevation and distance from shore, yet these linkages have not been fully leveraged to develop predictive models. Our aim was to evaluate the performance of commonly used machine learning algorithms, including K-nearest neighbor, support vector machine, and random forest, for predicting barrier island habitats using landscape position for Dauphin Island, Alabama, USA. Landscape position predictors were extracted from topobathymetric data. Models were developed for three tidal zones: subtidal, intertidal, and supratidal/upland. We used a contemporary habitat map to identify landscape position linkages for habitats, such as beach, dune, woody vegetation, and marsh. Deterministic accuracy, fuzzy accuracy, and hindcasting were used for validation. The random forest algorithm performed best for intertidal and supratidal/upland habitats, while the K-nearest neighbor algorithm performed best for subtidal habitats. A posteriori application of expert rules based on theoretical understanding of barrier island habitats enhanced model results. For the contemporary model, deterministic overall accuracy was nearly 70%, and fuzzy overall accuracy was over 80%. For the hindcast model, deterministic overall accuracy was nearly 80%, and fuzzy overall accuracy was over 90%. We found machine learning algorithms were well-suited for predicting barrier island habitats using landscape position. Our model framework could be coupled with hydrodynamic geomorphologic models for forecasting habitats with accelerated sea-level rise, simulated storms, and restoration actions.

Background: Predicting the perioperative requirement for red blood cells (RBCs) transfusion in patients with the pelvic fracture may be challenging. In this study, we constructed a perioperative RBCs transfusion predictive model (ternary classifications) based on a machine learning algorithm.Materials and Methods: This study included perioperative adult patients with pelvic trauma hospitalized across six Chinese centers between September 2012 and June 2019. An extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) algorithm was used to predict the need for perioperative RBCs transfusion, with data being split into training test (80%), which was subjected to 5-fold cross-validation, and test set (20%). The ability of the predictive transfusion model was compared with blood preparation based on surgeons' experience and other predictive models, including random forest, gradient boosting decision tree, K-nearest neighbor, logistic regression, and Gaussian naïve Bayes classifier models. Data of 33 patients from one of the hospitals were prospectively collected for model validation.Results: Among 510 patients, 192 (37.65%) have not received any perioperative RBCs transfusion, 127 (24.90%) received less-transfusion (RBCs < 4U), and 191 (37.45%) received more-transfusion (RBCs ≥ 4U). Machine learning-based transfusion predictive model produced the best performance with the accuracy of 83.34%, and Kappa coefficient of 0.7967 compared with other methods (blood preparation based on surgeons' experience with the accuracy of 65.94%, and Kappa coefficient of 0.5704; the random forest method with an accuracy of 82.35%, and Kappa coefficient of 0.7858; the gradient boosting decision tree with an accuracy of 79.41%, and Kappa coefficient of 0.7742; the K-nearest neighbor with an accuracy of 53.92%, and Kappa coefficient of 0.3341). In the prospective dataset, it also had a food performance with accuracy 81.82%.Conclusion: This multicenter retrospective cohort study described the construction of an accurate model that could predict perioperative RBCs transfusion in patients with pelvic fractures.
