The traditional procedure of predicting the settling velocity of a spherical particle is inconvenient as it involves iterations, complex correlations, and an unpredictable degree of uncertainty. The limitations can be addressed efficiently with artificial intelligence-based machine-learning algorithms (MLAs). The limited number of isolated studies conducted to date were constricted to specific fluid rheology, a particular MLA, and insufficient data. In the current study, the generalized application of ML was comprehensively investigated for Newtonian and three varieties of non-Newtonian fluids such as Power-law, Bingham, and Herschel Bulkley. A diverse set of nine MLAs were trained and tested using a large dataset of 967 samples. The ranges of generalized particle Reynolds number (ReG) and drag coefficient (CD) for the dataset were 10−3 < ReG (-) < 104 and 10−1 < CD (-) < 105, respectively. The performances of the models were statistically evaluated using an evaluation metric of the coefficient-of-determination (R2), root-mean-square-error (RMSE), mean-squared-error (MSE), and mean-absolute-error (MAE). The support vector regression with polynomial kernel demonstrated the optimum performance with R2 = 0.92, RMSE = 0.066, MSE = 0.0044, and MAE = 0.044. Its generalization capability was validated using the ten-fold-cross-validation technique, leave-one-feature-out experiment, and leave-one-data-set-out validation. The outcome of the current investigation was a generalized approach to modeling the settling velocity.

Leukemia is a fatal cancer and has two main types: Acute and chronic. Each type has two more subtypes: Lymphoid and myeloid. Hence, in total, there are four subtypes of leukemia. This study proposes a new approach for diagnosis of all subtypes of leukemia from microscopic blood cell images using convolutional neural networks (CNN), which requires a large training data set. Therefore, we also investigated the effects of data augmentation for an increasing number of training samples synthetically. We used two publicly available leukemia data sources: ALL-IDB and ASH Image Bank. Next, we applied seven different image transformation techniques as data augmentation. We designed a CNN architecture capable of recognizing all subtypes of leukemia. Besides, we also explored other well-known machine learning algorithms such as naive Bayes, support vector machine, k-nearest neighbor, and decision tree. To evaluate our approach, we set up a set of experiments and used 5-fold cross-validation. The results we obtained from experiments showed that our CNN model performance has 88.25% and 81.74% accuracy, in leukemia versus healthy and multiclass classification of all subtypes, respectively. Finally, we also showed that the CNN model has a better performance than other wellknown machine learning algorithms.

With the increase of cyber-attacks on millions of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, the poor network security measures on those devices are the main source of the problem. This article aims to study a number of these machine learning algorithms available for their effectiveness in detecting malware in consumer internet of things devices. In particular, the Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forest, and Deep Neural Network (DNN) algorithms are utilized for a benchmark with a set of test data and compared as tools in safeguarding the deployment for IoT security. Test results on a set of 4 IoT devices exhibited that all three tested algorithms presented here detect the network anomalies with high accuracy. However, the deep neural network provides the highest coefficient of determination R2, and hence, it is identified as the most precise among the tested algorithms concerning the security of IoT devices based on the data sets we have undertaken.

Genetics is the clinical review of congenital mutation, where the principal advantage of analyzing genetic mutation of humans is the exploration, analysis, interpretation and description of the genetic transmitted and inherited effect of several diseases such as cancer, diabetes and heart diseases. Cancer is the most troublesome and disordered affliction as the proportion of cancer sufferers is growing massively. Identification and discrimination of the mutations that impart to the enlargement of tumor from the unbiased mutations is difficult, as majority tumors of cancer are able to exercise genetic mutations. The genetic mutations are systematized and categorized to sort the cancer by way of medical observations and considering clinical studies. At the present time, genetic mutations are being annotated and these interpretations are being accomplished either manually or using the existing primary algorithms. Evaluation and classification of each and every individual genetic mutation was basically predicated on evidence from documented content built on medical literature. Consequently, as a means to build genetic mutations, basically, depending on the clinical evidences persists a challenging task. There exist various algorithms such as one hot encoding technique is used to derive features from genes and their variations, TF-IDF is used to extract features from the clinical text data. In order to increase the accuracy of the classification, machine learning algorithms such as support vector machine, logistic regression, Naive Bayes, etc., are experimented. A stacking model classifier has been developed to increase the accuracy. The proposed stacking model classifier has obtained the log loss 0.8436 and 0.8572 for cross-validation data set and test data set, respectively. By the experimentation, it has been proved that the proposed stacking model classifier outperforms the existing algorithms in terms of log loss. Basically, minimum log loss refers to the efficient model. Here the log loss has been reduced to less than 1 by using the proposed stacking model classifier. The performance of these algorithms can be gauged on the basis of the various measures like multi-class log loss.

Stormwater runoff is often contaminated by human activities. Stormwater discharge into water bodies significantly contributes to environmental pollution. The choice of suitable treatment technologies is dependent on the pollutant concentrations. Wastewater quality indicators such as biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS), and total dissolved solids (TDS) give a measure of the main pollutants. The aim of this study is to provide an indirect methodology for the estimation of the main wastewater quality indicators, based on some characteristics of the drainage basin. The catchment is seen as a black box: the physical processes of accumulation, washing, and transport of pollutants are not mathematically described. Two models deriving from studies on artificial intelligence have been used in this research: Support Vector Regression (SVR) and Regression Trees (RT). Both the models showed robustness, reliability, and high generalization capability. However, with reference to coefficient of determination R2 and root‐mean square error, Support Vector Regression showed a better performance than Regression Tree in predicting TSS, TDS, and COD. As regards BOD5, the two models showed a comparable performance. Therefore, the considered machine learning algorithms may be useful for providing an estimation of the values to be considered for the sizing of the treatment units in absence of direct measures.

Online frauds have pernicious impacts on different system domains, including waste management systems. Fraudsters illegally obtain rewards for their recycling activities or avoid penalties for those who are required to recycle their own waste. Although some approaches have been introduced to prevent such fraudulent activities, the fraudsters continuously seek new ways to commit illegal actions. Machine learning technology has shown significant and impressive results in identifying new online fraud patterns in different system domains such as e-commerce, insurance, and banking. The purpose of this paper, therefore, is to analyze a waste management system and develop a machine learning model to detect fraud in the system. The intended system allows consumers, individuals, and organizations to track, monitor, and update their performance in their recycling activities. The data set provided by a waste management organization is used for the analysis and the model training. This data set contains transactions of users’ recycling activities and behaviors. Three machine learning algorithms, random forest, support vector machine, and multi-layer perceptron are used in the experiments and the best detection model is selected based on the model’s performance. Results show that each of these algorithms can be used for fraud detection in waste managements with high accuracy. The random forest algorithm produces the optimal model with an accuracy of 96.33%, F1-score of 95.20%, and ROC of 98.92%.

ABSTRACTSepsis is a severe infectious disease with high mortality, and it occurs when chemicals released in the bloodstream to fight an infection trigger inflammation throughout the body and it can cause a cascade of changes that damage multiple organ systems, leading them to fail, even resulting in death. In order to reduce the possibility of sepsis or infection antiseptics are used and process is known as antisepsis. Antiseptic peptides (ASPs) show properties similar to antigram-negative peptides, antigram-positive peptides and many more. Machine learning algorithms are useful in screening and identification of therapeutic peptides and thus provide initial filters or built confidence before using time consuming and laborious experimental approaches. In this study, various machine learning algorithms like Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN) and Logistic Regression (LR) were evaluated for prediction of ASPs. Moreover, the characteristics physicochemical features of ASPs were also explored to use them in machine learning. Both manual and automatic feature selection methodology was employed to achieve best performance of machine learning algorithms. A 5-fold cross validation and independent data set validation proved RF as the best model for prediction of ASPs. Our RF model showed an accuracy of 97%, Matthew’s Correlation Coefficient (MCC) of 0.93, which are indication of a robust and good model. To our knowledge this is the first attempt to build a machine learning classifier for prediction of ASPs.

In multiple sclerosis (MS), gait impairment is one of the most prominent symptoms. For a sensitive assessment of pathological gait patterns, a comprehensive analysis and processing of several gait analysis systems is necessary. The objective of this work was to determine the best diagnostic gait system (DIERS pedogait, GAITRite system, and Mobility Lab) using six machine learning algorithms for the differentiation between people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) and healthy controls, between pwMS with and without fatigue and between pwMS with mild and moderate impairment. The data of the three gait systems were assessed on 54 pwMS and 38 healthy controls. Gaussian Naive Bayes, Decision Tree, k-Nearest Neighbor, and Support Vector Machines (SVM) with linear, radial basis function (rbf) and polynomial kernel were applied for the detection of subtle walking changes. The best performance for a healthy-sick classification was achieved on the DIERS data with a SVM rbf kernel (k = 0.49 ± 0.11). For differentiating between pwMS with mild and moderate disability, the GAITRite data with the SVM linear kernel (k = 0.61 ± 0.06) showed the best performance. This study demonstrates that machine learning methods are suitable for identifying pathologic gait patterns in early MS.

Opinion mining in social networks data is considered as one of most important research areas because a large number of users interact with different topics on it. This paper discusses the problem of predicting future products rate according to users’ comments. Researchers interacted with this problem by using machine learning algorithms (e.g. Logistic Regression, Random Forest Regression, Support Vector Regression, Simple Linear Regression, Multiple Linear Regression, Polynomial Regression and Decision Tree). However, the accuracy of these techniques still needs to be improved. In this study, we introduce an approach for predicting future products rate using LR, RFR, and SVR. Our data set consists of tweets and its rate from 1:5. The main goal of our approach is improving the prediction accuracy about existing techniques. SVR can predict future product rate with a Mean Squared Error (MSE) of 0.4122, Linear Regression model predict with a Mean Squared Error of 0.4986 and Random Forest Regression can predict with a Mean Squared Error of 0.4770. This is better than the existing approaches accuracy.

In recent years, artificial intelligence technology has been widely used in fault prediction and health management (PHM). The machine learning algorithm is widely used in the condition monitoring of rotating machines, and normal and fault data can be obtained through the data acquisition and monitoring system. After analyzing the data and establishing a model, the system can automatically learn the features from the input data to predict the failure of the maintenance and diagnosis equipment, which is important for motor maintenance. This research proposes a medium Gaussian support vector machine (SVM) method for the application of machine learning and constructs a feature space by extracting the characteristics of the vibration signal collected on the spot based on experience. Different methods were used to cluster and classify features to classify motor health. The influence of different Gaussian kernel functions, such as fine, medium, and coarse, on the performance of the SVM algorithm was analyzed. The experimental data verify the performance of various models through the data set released by the Case Western Reserve University Motor Bearing Data Center. As the motor often has noise interference in the actual application environment, a simulated Gaussian white noise was added to the original vibration data in order to verify the performance of the research method in a noisy environment. The results summarize the classification results of related motor data sets derived recently from the use of motor fault detection and diagnosis using different machine learning algorithms. The results show that the medium Gaussian SVM method improves the reliability and accuracy of motor bearing fault estimation, detection, and identification under variable crack-size and load conditions. This paper also provides a detailed discussion of the predictive analytical capabilities of machine learning algorithms, which can be used as a reference for the future motor predictive maintenance analysis of electric vehicles.
