Machine Learning (ML) algorithms provide an alternative for the prediction of pollutant concentration. We compared eight ML algorithms (Linear Regression (LR), uniform weighting k-Nearest Neighbor (UW-kNN), variable weighting k-Nearest Neighbor (VW-kNN), Support Vector Regression (SVR), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Regression Tree (RT), Random Forest (RF), and Adaptive Boosting (AdB)) to evaluate the feasibility of ML approaches for estimation of Total Suspended Solids (TSS) using the national stormwater quality database. Six factors were used as features to train the algorithms with TSS concentration as the target parameter: Drainage area, land use, percent of imperviousness, rainfall depth, runoff volume, and antecedent dry days. Comparisons among the ML methods demonstrated a higher degree of variability in model performance, with the coefficient of determination (R2) and Nash–Sutcliffe (NSE) values ranging from 0.15 to 0.77. The Root Mean Square (RMSE) values ranged from 110 mg/L to 220 mg/L. The best fit was obtained using the AdB and RF models, with R2 values of 0.77 and 0.74 in the training step and 0.67 and 0.64 in the prediction step. The NSE values were 0.76 and 0.72 in the training step and 0.67 and 0.62 in the prediction step. The predictions from AdB were sensitive to all six factors. However, the sensitivity level was variable.

Sentiment analysis of product reviews on e-commerce platforms aids in determining the preferences of customers. Aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA) assists in identifying the contributing aspects and their corresponding polarity, thereby allowing for a more detailed analysis of the customer’s inclination toward product aspects. This analysis helps in the transition from the traditional rating-based recommendation process to an improved aspect-based process. To automate ABSA, a labelled dataset is required to train a supervised machine learning model. As the availability of such dataset is limited due to the involvement of human efforts, an annotated dataset has been provided here for performing ABSA on customer reviews of mobile phones. The dataset comprising of product reviews of Apple-iPhone11 has been manually annotated with predefined aspect categories and aspect sentiments. The dataset’s accuracy has been validated using state-of-the-art machine learning techniques such as Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machine, Logistic Regression, Random Forest, K-Nearest Neighbor and Multi Layer Perceptron, a sequential model built with Keras API. The MLP model built through Keras Sequential API for classifying review text into aspect categories produced the most accurate result with 67.45 percent accuracy. K- nearest neighbor performed the worst with only 49.92 percent accuracy. The Support Vector Machine had the highest accuracy for classifying review text into aspect sentiments with an accuracy of 79.46 percent. The model built with Keras API had the lowest 76.30 percent accuracy. The contribution is beneficial as a benchmark dataset for ABSA of mobile phone reviews.

We explored various Machine Learning (ML) models to evaluate how each model performs in the task of classifying histopathology reports. We trained, optimized, and performed classification with Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Adaptive Boosting (AB), Decision Trees (DT), Gaussian Naïve Bayes (GNB), Logistic Regression (LR), and Dummy classifier. We started with 60,083 histopathology reports, which reduced to 60,069 after pre-processing. The F1-scores for SVM, SGD KNN, RF, DT, LR, AB, and GNB were 97%, 96%, 96%, 96%, 92%, 96%, 84%, and 88%, respectively, while the misclassification rates were 3.31%, 5.25%, 4.39%, 1.75%, 3.5%, 4.26%, 23.9%, and 19.94%, respectively. The approximate run times were 2 h, 20 min, 40 min, 8 h, 40 min, 10 min, 50 min, and 4 min, respectively. RF had the longest run time but the lowest misclassification rate on the labeled data. Our study demonstrated the possibility of applying ML techniques in the processing of free-text pathology reports for cancer registries for cancer incidence reporting in a Sub-Saharan Africa setting. This is an important consideration for the resource-constrained environments to leverage ML techniques to reduce workloads and improve the timeliness of reporting of cancer statistics.


Current global huge cyber protection attacks resulting from Infected Encryption ransomware structures over all international locations and businesses with millions of greenbacks lost in paying compulsion abundance. This type of malware encrypts consumer files, extracts consumer files, and charges higher ransoms to be paid for decryption of keys. An attacker could use different types of ransomware approach to steal a victim's files. Some of ransomware attacks like Scareware, Mobile ransomware, WannaCry, CryptoLocker, Zero-Day ransomware attack etc. A zero-day vulnerability is a software program security flaw this is regarded to the software seller however doesn’t have patch in vicinity to restore a flaw. Despite the fact that machine learning algorithms are already used to find encryption Ransomware. This is based on the analysis of a large number of PE file data Samples (benign software and ransomware utility) makes use of supervised machine learning algorithms for ascertain Zero-day attacks. This work was done on a Microsoft Windows operating system (the most attacked os through encryption ransomware) and estimated it. We have used four Supervised learning Algorithms, Random Forest Classifier , K-Nearest Neighbor, Support Vector Machine and Logistic Regression.

Excessive use of smartphones throughout the day having dependency on them for social interaction, entertainment and information retrieval may lead users to develop nomophobia. This makes them feel anxious during non-availability of smartphones. This study describes the usefulness of real time smartphone usage data for prediction of nomophobia severity using machine learning. Data is collected from 141 undergraduate students analyzing their perception about their smartphone using the Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q) and their real time smartphone usage patterns using a purpose-built android application. Supervised machine learning models including Random Forest, Decision Tree, Support Vector Machines, Naïve Bayes and K-Nearest Neighbor are trained using two features sets where the first feature set comprises only the NMP-Q features and the other comprises real time smartphone usage features along with the NMP-Q features. Performance of these models is evaluated using f-measure and area under ROC and It is observed that all the models perform better when provided with smartphone usage features along with the NMP-Q features. Naïve Bayes outperforms other models in prediction of nomophobia achieving a f-measure value of 0.891 and ROC area value of 0.933.


Artificial intelligence is the technology that lets a machine mimic the thinking ability of a human being. Machine learning is the subset of AI, that makes this machine exhibit human behavior by making it learn from the known data, without the need of explicitly programming it.

We can state undoubtedly that Bangla language is rich enough to work with and implement various Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. Though it needs proper attention, hardly NLP field has been explored with it. In this age of digitalization, large amount of Bangla news contents are generated in online platforms. Some of the contents are inappropriate for the children or aged people. With the motivation to filter out news contents easily, the aim of this work is to perform document level sentiment analysis (SA) on Bangla online news. In this respect, the dataset is created by collecting news from online Bangla newspaper archive.  Further, the documents are manually annotated into positive and negative classes. Composite process technique of “Pipeline” class including Count Vectorizer, transformer (TF-IDF) and machine learning (ML) classifiers are employed to extract features and to train the dataset. Six supervised ML classifiers (i.e. Multinomial Naive Bayes (MNB), K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN), Random Forest (RF), (C4.5) Decision Tree (DT), Logistic Regression (LR) and Linear Support Vector Machine (LSVM)) are used to analyze the best classifier for the proposed model. There has been very few works on SA of Bangla news. So, this work is a small attempt to contribute in this field. This model showed remarkable efficiency through better results in both the validation process of percentage split method and 10-fold cross validation. Among all six classifiers, RF has outperformed others by 99% accuracy. Even though LSVM has shown lowest accuracy of 80%, it is also considered as good output. However, this work has also exhibited surpassing outcome for recent and critical Bangla news indicating proper feature extraction to build up the model.

Abstract Future 6G wireless network will be focused on Artificial Intelligence (AI) based network selection, resource allocation and user satisfaction. A user has multiple options to switch one service provider to another service provider in case of network quality degradation. The new schemes/policies are required to retain their valuable users. This paper proposed supervised machine learning methods such as Decision Tree, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), etc., to classify and identify the loyal user. The decision tree algorithm has been identified as the best classification technique in order to identify the type of user (loyal, normal, and recent). A threshold-based algorithm is proposed to allocate the resource, particularly to loyal users. The performance of the algorithm is measured in terms of average waiting time (AWT), and the number of particular types of user’s services dropped. Priority is given to the loyal user when only 10% network resource is available. The simulation environment is created by SimPy implemented in Python. The result of the simulation run represents that no loyal user’ services have been interrupted during communication. Loyal users achieved less AWT as 32.51s compare to the normal user and recent user.

Increased interest in the opportunities provided by artificial intelligence and machine learning has spawned a new field of health-care research. The new tools under development are targeting many aspects of medical practice, including changes to the practice of pathology and laboratory medicine. Optimal design in these powerful tools requires cross-disciplinary literacy, including basic knowledge and understanding of critical concepts that have traditionally been unfamiliar to pathologists and laboratorians. This review provides definitions and basic knowledge of machine learning categories (supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning), introduces the underlying concept of the bias-variance trade-off as an important foundation in supervised machine learning, and discusses approaches to the supervised machine learning study design along with an overview and description of common supervised machine learning algorithms (linear regression, logistic regression, Naive Bayes, k-nearest neighbor, support vector machine, random forest, convolutional neural networks).

Unsolicited e-mail also known as Spam has become a huge concern for each e-mail user. In recent times, it is very difficult to filter spam emails as these emails are produced or created or written in a very special manner so that anti-spam filters cannot detect such emails. This paper compares and reviews performance metrics of certain categories of supervised machine learning techniques such as SVM (Support Vector Machine), Random Forest, Decision Tree, CNN, (Convolutional Neural Network), KNN(K Nearest Neighbor), MLP(Multi-Layer Perceptron), Adaboost (Adaptive Boosting) Naïve Bayes algorithm to predict or classify into spam emails. The objective of this study is to consider the details or content of the emails, learn a finite dataset available and to develop a classification model that will be able to predict or classify whether an e-mail is spam or not.
