In order to detect gravitational waves and characterise their sources, three laser links were constructed with three identical satellites, such that interferometric measurements for scientific experiments can be carried out. The attitude of the spacecraft in the initial phase of laser link docking is provided by a star sensor (SSR) onboard the satellite. If the attitude measurement capacity of the SSR is improved, the efficiency of establishing laser linking can be elevated. An important technology for satellite attitude determination using SSRs is star identification. At present, a guide star catalogue (GSC) is the only basis for realising this. Hence, a method for improving the GSC, in terms of storage, completeness, and uniformity, is studied in this paper. First, the relationship between star numbers in the field of view (FOV) of a staring SSR, together with the noise equivalent angle (NEA) of the SSR—which determines the accuracy of the SSR—is discussed. Then, according to the relationship between the number of stars (NOS) in the FOV, the brightness of the stars, and the size of the FOV, two constraints are used to select stars in the SAO GSC. Finally, the performance of the GSCs generated by Decision Trees (DC), K-Nearest Neighbours (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), the Magnitude Filter Method (MFM), Gradient Boosting (GB), a Neural Network (NN), Random Forest (RF), and Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) is assessed. The results show that the GSC generated by the KNN method is better than those of other methods, in terms of storage, uniformity, and completeness. The KNN-generated GSC is suitable for high-accuracy spacecraft applications, such as gravitational detection satellites.

<p>Smart grid is an essential concept in the transformation of the electricity sector into an intelligent digitalized energy network that can deliver optimal energy from the source to the consumers. Smart grids being self-sufficient systems are constructed through the integration of information, telecommunication, and advanced power technologies with the existing electricity systems. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an important technology driver in smart grids. The application of AI techniques in smart grid is becoming more apparent because the traditional modelling optimization and control techniques have their own limitations. Machine Learning (ML) being a sub-set of AI enables intelligent decision-making and response to sudden changes in the customer energy demands, unexpected disruption of power supply, sudden variations in renewable energy output or any other catastrophic events in a smart grid. This paper presents the comparison among some of the state-of-the-art ML algorithms for predicting smart grid stability. The dataset that has been selected contains results from simulations of smart grid stability. Enhanced ML algorithms such as Support Vector Machine (SVM), Logistic Regression, K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN), Naïve Bayes (NB), Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest (RF), Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) classifier, XGBoost and Gradient Boosting classifiers have been implemented to forecast smart grid stability. A comparative analysis among the different ML models has been performed based on the following evaluation metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, AUC-ROC, and AUC-PR curves. The test results that have been obtained have been quite promising with the XGBoost classifier outperforming all the other models with an accuracy of 97.5%, recall of 98.4%, precision of 97.6%, F1-score of 97.9%, AUC-ROC of 99.8% and AUC-PR of 99.9%. </p>

In this contemporary era, the uses of machine learning techniques are increasing rapidly in the field of medical science for detecting various diseases such as liver disease (LD). Around the globe, a large number of people die because of this deadly disease. By diagnosing the disease in a primary stage, early treatment can be helpful to cure the patient. In this research paper, a method is proposed to diagnose the LD using supervised machine learning classification algorithms, namely logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, AdaBoost, KNN, linear discriminant analysis, gradient boosting and support vector machine (SVM). We also deployed a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) feature selection technique on our taken dataset to suggest the most highly correlated attributes of LD. The predictions with 10 fold cross-validation (CV) made by the algorithms are tested in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, precision and f1-score values to forecast the disease. It is observed that the decision tree algorithm has the best performance score where accuracy, precision, sensitivity and f1-score values are 94.295%, 92%, 99% and 96% respectively with the inclusion of LASSO. Furthermore, a comparison with recent studies is shown to prove the significance of the proposed system.

Abstract Diagnosing COVID-19 early in domestic settings is possible through smart home devices that can classify audio input of coughs, and determine whether they are COVID-19. Research is currently sparse in this area and data is difficult to obtain. However, a few small data collection projects have enabled audio classification research into the application of different machine learning classification algorithms, including Logistic Regression (LR), Support Vector Machines (SVM), and Convolution Neural Networks (CNN). We show here that a CNN using audio converted to Mel-frequency cepstral coefficient spectrogram images as input can achieve high accuracy results; with classification of validation data scoring an accuracy of 97.5% correct classification of covid and not covid labelled audio. The work here provides a proof of concept that high accuracy can be achieved with a small dataset, which can have a significant impact in this area. The results are highly encouraging and provide further opportunities for research by the academic community on this important topic.

Warts caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a highly contagious disease, and affects several million people across the globe every year, in the form of small lesions on the skin, commonly known as warts. Warts can be treated effectively with several methods, the most effective being Immunotherapy and Cryotherapy. Our research is focused on the performance comparison of modern Machine Learning classification techniques to predict the outcome (positive or negative) of Immunotherapy treatment given to a patient, by using patient data as input features to our classifiers. The precision, recall, f-measure and accuracy were used to compare the performance of the various classifiers considered in this study. We considered Logistic Regression, ZeroR, AdaBoost, K-Nearest Neighbours (KNN), Support Vector Machines (SVM), Gradient Boosting, Repeated Incremental Pruning to Produce Error Reduction (RIPPER), Decision Trees and Random Forests. The ZeroR classifier was used as a baseline to provide us with insights into the skewed nature of the data, so as to enable us to better understand the comparison in performance of the various classifiers.

Abstract BACKGROUND Vestibular schwannoma (VS) and meningioma are the most two common tumors in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA). Accurate preoperative differentiation of the two lesions is important due to their different surgical approaches and outcomes for the preservation of hearing and facial nerve function. Magnetic resonance (MR) scan is commonly performed to preoperatively evaluate CPA tumors and to differentiate VS from meningioma in clinical routine. However, in some cases, overlaps of conventional MR imaging patterns between the two lesions could make preoperative diagnosis challenging. The purpose of this study is to investigate the ability of radiomics, a novel method providing objective and quantitative information beyond visual assessment, in differentiation between VS and meningioma located at CPA using machine learning technology. MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective study enrolled eligible patients who were diagnosed with VS (N = 50) or meningioma (N = 41) in the CPA. A set of mineable three-dimensional radiomic parameters were extracted from preoperative contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images. Optimal features were selected first with three selection methods including distance correlation, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT). Then three machine learning classification algorithms, namely linear discriminant analysis (LDA), support vector machine (SVM) and random forest were employed to build discriminative models. Area under the curve (AUC), accuracy, sensitivity and specificity were calculated to assess the performance of each model. RESULTS Nine models were established with different combinations of selection methods and machine learning classifiers. Three classifiers with the suitable selection method all represented feasible ability in differentiation with AUC more than 0.86 in the validation set, and LDA-based models seemed to show better diagnostic performance than those based on the other two classifiers. The combination of LASSO and LDA classifier was found to show the highest AUC of 0.942 in the validation set. CONCLUSION Radiomics-based models via machine learning approaches could potentially be utilized to assist in preoperative differentiation between VS and meningioma in the CPA.

Breast cancer is the most common cause of death for women worldwide. Thus, the ability of artificial intelligence systems to detect possible breast cancer is very important. In this paper, an ensemble classification mechanism is proposed based on a majority voting mechanism. First, the performance of different state-of-the-art machine learning classification algorithms were evaluated for the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Dataset (WBCD). The three best classifiers were then selected based on their F3 score. F3 score is used to emphasize the importance of false negatives (recall) in breast cancer classification. Then, these three classifiers, simple logistic regression learning, support vector machine learning with stochastic gradient descent optimization and multilayer perceptron network, are used for ensemble classification using a voting mechanism. We also evaluated the performance of hard and soft voting mechanism. For hard voting, majority-based voting mechanism was used and for soft voting we used average of probabilities, product of probabilities, maximum of probabilities and minimum of probabilities-based voting methods. The hard voting (majority-based voting) mechanism shows better performance with 99.42%, as compared to the state-of-the-art algorithm for WBCD.

The advent of social media, particularly Twitter, raises many issues due to a misunderstanding regarding the concept of freedom of speech. One of these issues is cyberbullying, which is a critical global issue that affects both individual victims and societies. Many attempts have been introduced in the literature to intervene in, prevent, or mitigate cyberbullying; however, because these attempts rely on the victims’ interactions, they are not practical. Therefore, detection of cyberbullying without the involvement of the victims is necessary. In this study, we attempted to explore this issue by compiling a global dataset of 37,373 unique tweets from Twitter. Moreover, seven machine learning classifiers were used, namely, Logistic Regression (LR), Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LGBM), Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), Random Forest (RF), AdaBoost (ADB), Naive Bayes (NB), and Support Vector Machine (SVM). Each of these algorithms was evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score as the performance metrics to determine the classifiers’ recognition rates applied to the global dataset. The experimental results show the superiority of LR, which achieved a median accuracy of around 90.57%. Among the classifiers, logistic regression achieved the best F1 score (0.928), SGD achieved the best precision (0.968), and SVM achieved the best recall (1.00).
