This paper presents SmartFall, an Android app that uses accelerometer data collected from a commodity-based smartwatch Internet of Things (IoT) device to detect falls. The smartwatch is paired with a smartphone that runs the SmartFall application, which performs the computation necessary for the prediction of falls in real time without incurring latency in communicating with a cloud server, while also preserving data privacy. We experimented with both traditional (Support Vector Machine and Naive Bayes) and non-traditional (Deep Learning) machine learning algorithms for the creation of fall detection models using three different fall datasets (Smartwatch, Notch, Farseeing). Our results show that a Deep Learning model for fall detection generally outperforms more traditional models across the three datasets. This is attributed to the Deep Learning model’s ability to automatically learn subtle features from the raw accelerometer data that are not available to Naive Bayes and Support Vector Machine, which are restricted to learning from a small set of extracted features manually specified. Furthermore, the Deep Learning model exhibits a better ability to generalize to new users when predicting falls, an important quality of any model that is to be successful in the real world. We also present a three-layer open IoT system architecture used in SmartFall, which can be easily adapted for the collection and analysis of other sensor data modalities (e.g., heart rate, skin temperature, walking patterns) that enables remote monitoring of a subject’s wellbeing.

Diabetes, caused by the rise in level of glucose in blood, has many latest devices to identify from blood samples. Diabetes, when unnoticed, may bring many serious diseases like heart attack, kidney disease. In this way, there is a requirement for solid research and learning model’s enhancement in the field of gestational diabetes identification and analysis. SVM is one of the powerful classification models in machine learning, and similarly, Deep Neural Network is powerful under deep learning models. In this work, we applied Enhanced Support Vector Machine and Deep Learning model Deep Neural Network for diabetes prediction and screening. The proposed method uses Deep Neural Network obtaining its input from the output of Enhanced Support Vector Machine, thus having a combined efficacy. The dataset we considered includes 768 patients’ data with eight major features and a target column with result “Positive” or “Negative”. Experiment is done with Python and the outcome of our demonstration shows that the deep Learning model gives more efficiency for diabetes prediction.

The creation of the Internet of Things (IoT), along with the latest developments in wearable technology, has provided new opportunities in human activity recognition (HAR). The modern smartwatch offers the potential for data from sensors to be relayed to novel IoT platforms, which allow the constant tracking and monitoring of human movement and behavior. Recently, traditional activity recognition techniques have done research in advance by choosing machine learning methods such as artificial neural network, decision tree, support vector machine, and naive Bayes. Nonetheless, these conventional machine learning techniques depend inevitably on heuristically handcrafted feature extraction, in which human domain knowledge is normally limited. This work proposes a hybrid deep learning model called CNN-LSTM that employed Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks for activity recognition with the Convolution Neural Network (CNN). The study makes use of HAR involving smartwatches to categorize hand movements. Using the study based on the Wireless Sensor Data Mining (WISDM) public benchmark dataset, the recognition abilities of the deep learning model can be accessed. The accuracy, precision, recall, and F-measure statistics are employed using the evaluation metrics to assess the recognition abilities of LSTM models proposed. The findings indicate that this hybrid deep learning model offers better performance than its rivals, where the achievement of 96.2% accuracy, while the f-measure is 96.3%, is obtained. The results show that the proposed CNN-LSTM can support an improvement of the performance of activity recognition.

Studies on deep-learning-based behavioral pattern recognition have recently received considerable attention. However, if there are insufficient data and the activity to be identified is changed, a robust deep learning model cannot be created. This work contributes a generalized deep learning model that is robust to noise not dependent on input signals by extracting features through a deep learning model for each heterogeneous input signal that can maintain performance while minimizing preprocessing of the input signal. We propose a hybrid deep learning model that takes heterogeneous sensor data, an acceleration sensor, and an image as inputs. For accelerometer data, we use a convolutional neural network (CNN) and convolutional block attention module models (CBAM), and apply bidirectional long short-term memory and a residual neural network. The overall accuracy was 94.8% with a skeleton image and accelerometer data, and 93.1% with a skeleton image, coordinates, and accelerometer data after evaluating nine behaviors using the Berkeley Multimodal Human Action Database (MHAD). Furthermore, the accuracy of the investigation was revealed to be 93.4% with inverted images and 93.2% with white noise added to the accelerometer data. Testing with data that included inversion and noise data indicated that the suggested model was robust, with a performance deterioration of approximately 1%.

Background: A resolve engaged by energy regulators worldwide to curtail the liability of Non-Technical Losses (NTLs) in power is the installation of Smart Meters to measure consumed power. However, power regulators in developing countries are confronted with huge metering gap in an era of momentous energy theft which has resulted in deficits in revenue, debts and ultimately power cuts. Objective: The objective of this research is to predict whether the customers’ who are unmetered are eligible to be metered by identifying worthy and unworthy customers for metering given their bill payment history. Methods: The approach analyses the performance accuracy of some machine learning algorithms on small datasets by exploring the classification abilities of Deep learning, Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machine and Extreme Learning Machine using data obtained from an electricity distribution company in Nigeria. Results: The performance analysis shows that Naïve Bayes classifier outperformed the Deep Learning, Support Vector Machine and Extreme Learning Machine algorithms. Experiments in deep learning have shown that the alteration of batch sizes has an effect on the outputs. Conclusion: This paper presents a data-driven methodology for the prediction of consumers’ eligibility to be metered. The research has shown the performance of deep learning, Naive Bayes, SVM and ELM on small dataset. The research will help utility companies in developing countries with large populations and huge metering gaps to prioritise the installation of smart meters based on consumer’s payment history.

It is now common for a cellphone to receive spam messages. Great number of received messages making it difficult for human to classify those messages to Spam or no Spam.  One way to overcome this problem is to use Data Mining for automatic classifications. In this paper, we investigate various data mining techniques, named Support Vector Machine, Multinomial Naïve Bayes and Decision Tree for automatic spam detection. Our experimental results show that Support Vector Machine algorithm is the best algorithm over three evaluated algorithms. Support Vector Machine achieves 98.33%, while Multinomial Naïve Bayes achieves 98.13% and Decision Tree is at 97.10 % accuracy.

News popularity is the maximum growth of attention given for particular news article. The popularity of online news depends on various factors such as the number of social media, the number of visitor comments, the number of Likes, etc. It is therefore necessary to build an automatic decision support system to predict the popularity of the news as it will help in business intelligence too. The work presented in this study aims to find the best model to predict the popularity of online news using machine learning methods. In this work, the result analysis is performed by applying Co-relation algorithm, particle swarm optimization and principal component analysis. For performance evaluation support vector machine, naïve bayes, k-nearest neighbor and neural network classifiers are used to classify the popular and unpopular data. From the experimental results, it is observed that support vector machine and naïve bayes outperforms better with co-relation algorithm as well as k-NN and neural network outperforms better with particle swarm optimization.
