This study suggests a method to select core data that will be helpful for machine learning. Specifically, we form a two-dimensional distribution based on the similarity of the training data and compose grids with fixed ratios on the distribution. In each grid, we select data based on the distribution consistency (DC) of the target class data and examine how it affects the classifier. We use CIFAR-10 for the experiment and set various grid ratios from 0.5 to 0.005. The influences of these variables were analyzed with the use of different training data sizes selected based on high-DC, low-DC (inverse of high DC), and random (no criteria) selections. As a result, the average point accuracy at 0.95% (±0.65) and the point accuracy at 1.54% (±0.59) improved for the grid configurations of 0.008 and 0.005, respectively. These outcomes justify an improved performance compared with that of the existing approach (data distribution search). In this study, we confirmed that the learning performance improved when the training data were selected for very small grid and high-DC settings.

Text classification and clustering approach is essential for big data environments. In supervised learning applications many classification algorithms have been proposed. In the era of big data, a large volume of training data is available in many machine learning works. However, there is a possibility of mislabeled or unlabeled data that are not labeled properly. Some labels may be incorrect resulted in label noise which in turn regress learning performance of a classifier. A general approach to address label noise is to apply noise filtering techniques to identify and remove noise before learning. A range of noise filtering approaches have been developed to improve the classifiers performance. This paper proposes noise filtering approach in text data during the training phase. Many supervised learning algorithms generates high error rates due to noise in training dataset, our work eliminates such noise and provides accurate classification system.

ABSTRACT We present a machine learning (ML) approach for the prediction of galaxies’ dark matter halo masses which achieves an improved performance over conventional methods. We train three ML algorithms (XGBoost, random forests, and neural network) to predict halo masses using a set of synthetic galaxy catalogues that are built by populating dark matter haloes in N-body simulations with galaxies and that match both the clustering and the joint distributions of properties of galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We explore the correlation of different galaxy- and group-related properties with halo mass, and extract the set of nine features that contribute the most to the prediction of halo mass. We find that mass predictions from the ML algorithms are more accurate than those from halo abundance matching (HAM) or dynamical mass estimates (DYN). Since the danger of this approach is that our training data might not accurately represent the real Universe, we explore the effect of testing the model on synthetic catalogues built with different assumptions than the ones used in the training phase. We test a variety of models with different ways of populating dark matter haloes, such as adding velocity bias for satellite galaxies. We determine that, though training and testing on different data can lead to systematic errors in predicted masses, the ML approach still yields substantially better masses than either HAM or DYN. Finally, we apply the trained model to a galaxy and group catalogue from the SDSS DR7 and present the resulting halo masses.

Abstract Research and development of electroencephalogram (EEG) based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have advanced rapidly, partly due to the wide adoption of sophisticated machine learning approaches for decoding the EEG signals. However, recent studies have shown that machine learning algorithms are vulnerable to adversarial attacks, e.g., the attacker can add tiny adversarial perturbations to a test sample to fool the model, or poison the training data to insert a secret backdoor. Previous research has shown that adversarial attacks are also possible for EEG-based BCIs. However, only adversarial perturbations have been considered, and the approaches are theoretically sound but very difficult to implement in practice. This article proposes to use narrow period pulse for poisoning attack of EEG-based BCIs, which is more feasible in practice and has never been considered before. One can create dangerous backdoors in the machine learning model by injecting poisoning samples into the training set. Test samples with the backdoor key will then be classified into the target class specified by the attacker. What most distinguishes our approach from previous ones is that the backdoor key does not need to be synchronized with the EEG trials, making it very easy to implement. The effectiveness and robustness of the backdoor attack approach is demonstrated, highlighting a critical security concern for EEG-based BCIs.

Computer-aided diagnosis of early-stage lung adenocarcinoma based on deep learning is prospective for assisting the prevention and treatment of the deathly disease of lung cancer, however, relevant works face the problem of limited training data. The technique of data source fusion with the training of deep models on multiple relevant datasets is promising to resolve the lack of training data, while the bias of data distribution from different data sources exists as a universal issue to affect the learning performance. In this paper, we propose a deep learning framework based on bias-undoing data source fusion to classify early stages of lung adenocarcinoma in computed tomography (CT) images. The framework conducts learning on the integrated datasets for respectively natural image, lung nodule CT and lung adenocarcinoma CT, as designed with an organization of base parameters and bias parameters to adapt to the data distribution with bias. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed bias-undoing framework is effective to improve the performance of deep learning for lung adenocarcinoma classification, and is with great superiority to those general fusion frameworks on alleviating the effect of dataset bias.

AbstractMachine learning that generates biological hypotheses has transformative potential, but most learning algorithms are susceptible to pathological failure when exploring regimes beyond the training data distribution. A solution is to quantify prediction uncertainty so that algorithms can gracefully handle novel phenomena that confound standard methods. Here, we demonstrate the broad utility of robust uncertainty prediction in biological discovery. By leveraging Gaussian process-based uncertainty prediction on modern pretrained features, we train a model on just 72 compounds to make predictions over a 10,833-compound library, identifying and experimentally validating compounds with nanomolar affinity for diverse kinases and whole-cell growth inhibition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We show how uncertainty facilitates a tight iterative loop between computation and experimentation, improves the generative design of novel biochemical structures, and generalizes across disparate biological domains. More broadly, our work demonstrates that uncertainty should play a key role in the increasing adoption of machine learning algorithms into the experimental lifecycle.

Understanding the interaction of multiple types of adsorbate molecules on solid surfaces is crucial to establishing the stability of catalysts under various chemical environments. Computational studies on the high coverage and mixed coverages of reaction intermediates are still challenging, especially for transition-metal compounds. In this work, we present a framework to predict differential adsorption energies and identify low-energy structures under high- and mixed-adsorbate coverages on oxide materials. The approach uses Gaussian process machine-learning models with quantified uncertainty in conjunction with an iterative training algorithm to actively identify the training set. The framework is demonstrated for the mixed adsorption of CH<sub>x</sub>, NH<sub>x</sub> and OH<sub>x</sub> species on the oxygen vacancy and pristine rutile TiO<sub>2</sub>(110) surface sites. The results indicate that the proposed algorithm is highly efficient at identifying the most valuable training data, and is able to predict differential adsorption energies with a mean absolute error of ~0.3 eV based on <25% of the total DFT data. The algorithm is also used to identify 76% of the low-energy structures based on <30% of the total DFT data, enabling construction of surface phase diagrams that account for high and mixed coverage as a function of the chemical potential of C, H, O, and N. Furthermore, the computational scaling indicates the algorithm scales nearly linearly (N<sup>1.12</sup>) as the number of adsorbates increases. This framework can be directly extended to metals, metal oxides, and other materials, providing a practical route toward the investigation of the behavior of catalysts under high-coverage conditions.
