Driver distraction is one of the major causes of traffic accidents. In recent years, given the advance in connectivity and social networks, the use of smartphones while driving has become more frequent and a serious problem for safety. Texting, calling, and reading while driving are types of distractions caused by the use of smartphones. In this paper, we propose a non-intrusive technique that uses only data from smartphone sensors and machine learning to automatically distinguish between drivers and passengers while reading a message in a vehicle. We model and evaluate seven cutting-edge machine-learning techniques in different scenarios. The Convolutional Neural Network and Gradient Boosting were the models with the best results in our experiments. Results show accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and kappa metrics superior to 0.95.

Area Of Concern

Extracting the sentiment of the text using machine learning techniques like LSTM is our area of concern. Classifying the movie reviews using LSTM is our problem statement. The reviews dataset is taken from the IMDB movie review dataset. Here we will classify a review based on the memory in the neural network of a LSTM cell state. Movie reviews often contain sensible content which describe the movie. We can manually decide whether a movie is good or bad by going through these reviews. Using machine learning approach we are classifying the movie reviews such that we can say that a movie is good or bad. LSTM is effective than many other techniques like RNN and CNN.

Traffic Speed Estimation

Accurate and timely estimation of freeway traffic speeds by short segments plays an important role in traffic monitoring systems. In the literature, the ability of machine learning techniques to capture the stochastic characteristics of traffic has been proved. Also, the deployment of intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) has provided enriched traffic data, which enables the adoption of a variety of machine learning methods to estimate freeway traffic speeds. However, the limitation of data quality and coverage remain a big challenge in current traffic monitoring systems. To overcome this problem, this study aims to develop a hybrid machine learning approach, by creating a new training variable based on the second-order traffic flow model, to improve the accuracy of traffic speed estimation. Grounded on a novel integrated framework, the estimation is performed using three machine learning techniques, that is, Random Forest (RF), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). All three models are trained with the integrated dataset including the traffic flow model estimates and the iPeMS and PeMS data from the Utah Department of Transportation (DOT). Further using the PeMS data as the ground truth for model evaluation, the comparisons between the hybrid approach and pure machine learning models show that the hybrid approach can effectively capture the time-varying pattern of the traffic and help improve the estimation accuracy.

Pollution Exposure

Pollution exposure and human health in the industry contaminated area are always a concern. The need for industrialization urges to concentrate on sustainable life of residents in the vicinity of the industrial area rather than opposing the industrialists. Literature in epidemiological studies reveal that air pollution is one of the major problems for health risks faced by residents in the industrial area. Main pollutants in industry related air pollution are particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10), SO2 , NO2 , and other pollutants upon the industry. Data for epidemiological studies obtained from different sources which are limited to public access include residents’ sociodemographic characters, health problems, and air quality index for personal exposure to pollutants. This combined data and limited resources make the analysis more complex so that statistical methods cannot compensate. Our review finds that there is an increase in literature that evaluates the connection between ambient air pollution exposure and associated health events of residents in the industrially polluted area using statistical methods, mainly regression models. A very few applies machine learning techniques to figure out the impact of common air pollution exposure on human health. Most of the machine learning approach to epidemiological studies end up in air pollution exposure monitoring, not to correlate its association with diseases. A machine learning approach to epidemiological studies can automatically characterize the residents’ exposure to pollutants and its associated health effects. Uniqueness of the model depends on the appropriate exhaustive data that characterizes the features, and machine learning algorithm used to build the model. In this contribution, we discuss various existing approaches that evaluate residents’ health effects and the source of irritation in association with air pollution exposure, focuses machine learning techniques and mathematical background for epidemiological studies for residents’ sustainable life.

Polypharmacologic human-targeted antimicrobials (polyHAM) are potentially useful in the treatment of complex human diseases where the microbiome is important (e.g., diabetes, hypertension). We previously reported a machine-learning approach to identify polyHAM from FDA-approved human targeted drugs using a heterologous approach (training with peptides and non-peptide compounds). Here we discover that polyHAM are more likely to be found among antimicrobials displaying a broad-spectrum antibiotic activity and that topological, but not chemical features, are most informative to classify this activity. A heterologous machine-learning approach was trained with broad-spectrum antimicrobials and tested with human metabolites; these metabolites were labeled as antimicrobials or non-antimicrobials based on a naïve text-mining approach. Human metabolites are not commonly recognized as antimicrobials yet circulate in the human body where microbes are found and our heterologous model was able to classify those with antimicrobial activity. These results provide the basis to develop applications aimed to design human diets that purposely alter metabolic compounds proportions as a way to control human microbiome.

Popularity Prediction

With the help of Internet, the online news can be instantly spread around the world. Most of peoples now have the habit of reading and sharing news online, for instance, using social media like Twitter and Facebook. Typically, the news popularity can be indicated by the number of reads, likes or shares. For the online news stake holders such as content providers or advertisers, it’s very valuable if the popularity of the news articles can be accurately predicted prior to the publication. Thus, it is interesting and meaningful to use the machine learning techniques to predict the popularity of online news articles. Various works have been done in prediction of online news popularity. Popularity of news depends upon various features like sharing of online news on social media, comments of visitors for news, likes for news articles etc. It is necessary to know what makes one online news article more popular than another article. Unpopular articles need to get optimize for further popularity. In this paper, different methodologies are analyzed which predict the popularity of online news articles. These methodologies are compared, their parameters are considered and improvements are suggested. The proposed methodology describes online news popularity predicting system.

Using Data

Palliative care is referred to a set of programs for patients that suffer life-limiting illnesses. These programs aim to maximize the quality of life (QoL) for the last stage of life. They are currently based on clinical evaluation of the risk of 1-year mortality. The main aim of this work is to develop and validate machine-learning-based models to predict the exitus of a patient within the next year using data gathered at hospital admission. Five machine-learning techniques were applied using a retrospective dataset. The evaluation was performed with five metrics computed by a resampling strategy: Accuracy, the area under the ROC curve, Specificity, Sensitivity, and the Balanced Error Rate. All models reported an AUC ROC from 0.857 to 0.91. Specifically, Gradient Boosting Classifier was the best model, producing an AUC ROC of 0.91, a sensitivity of 0.858, a specificity of 0.808, and a BER of 0.1687. Information from standard procedures at hospital admission combined with machine learning techniques produced models with competitive discriminative power. Our models reach the best results reported in the state of the art. These results demonstrate that they can be used as an accurate data-driven palliative care criteria inclusion.

Catch phrases are the important phrases that precisely explain the document. They represent the context of the whole document. They can also be used to retrieve relevant prior cases by the judges and lawyers for assuring justice in the domain of law. Currently, catch phrases are extracted using statistical methods, machine learning techniques, and deep learning techniques. The authors propose a sequence to sequence (Seq2Seq) deep neural network to extract catch phrases from legal documents. They have employed several layers, namely embedding layer, encoder-decoder layer, projection layer, and loss layer to build the deep neural network. The methodology is evaluated on IRLeD@FIRE-2017 dataset and the method has obtained 0.787 and 0.607 as mean average precision and recall scores respectively. Results show that the proposed method outperforms the existing systems.

Machine Learning Approach

In this paper, we investigate whether misstatement risk estimated using advanced machine learning techniques, hereafter referred to as estimated misstatement risk (EMR), approximates auditors' risk assessments in practice. We find that auditors price EMR and that auditor turnover is more likely to occur when EMR increases, indicating that EMR is associated with auditors' risk assessment. We also find evidence that EMR is positively and significantly associated with audit fees and auditor switching for companies with Big N auditors but not for other companies, suggesting that Big N auditors are more responsive to risks captured by EMR. Additional analyses reveal that companies switching auditors when EMR increases are more likely to engage non-Big N auditors. Surprisingly, we find little evidence that the association between audit quality and EMR differs by auditor type. Our findings are consistent with the notion that the documented association between audit fees and EMR primarily reflects a risk premium in our setting.

Corrosion Risk

Understanding the corrosion risk of a pipeline is vital for maintaining health, safety and the environment. This study implemented a data-driven machine learning approach that relied on Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Feed-Forward Artificial Neural Network (FFANN), Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM), Random Forest (RF) and Deep Neural Network (DNN) to estimate the corrosion defect depth growth of aged pipelines. By modifying the hyperparameters of the FFANN algorithm with PSO and using PCA to transform the operating variables of the pipelines, different Machine Learning (ML) models were developed and tested for the X52 grade of pipeline. A comparative analysis of the computational accuracy of the corrosion defect growth was estimated for the PCA transformed and non-transformed parametric values of the training data to know the influence of the PCA transformation on the accuracy of the models. The result of the analysis showed that the ML modelling with PCA transformed data has an accuracy that is 3.52 to 5.32 times better than those carried out without PCA transformation. Again, the PCA transformed GBM model was found to have the best modeling accuracy amongst the tested algorithms; hence, it was used for computing the future corrosion defect depth growth of the pipelines. This helped to compute the corrosion risks using the failure probabilities at different lifecycle phases of the asset. The excerpts from the results of this study indicate that my technique is vital for the prognostic health monitoring of pipelines because it will provide information for maintenance and inspection planning.
