BACKGROUND Arthritis is a common condition, which frequently involves the hands. Patients with inflammatory arthritis have been shown to experience significant delays in diagnosis. OBJECTIVE We sought to develop and test a screening tool combining an image of a patient’s hands, a short series of questions, and a single examination technique, to determine the most likely diagnosis in a patient presenting with hand arthritis. Machine learning techniques were used to develop separate algorithms for each component, which were combined to produce a diagnosis. METHODS 280 consecutive new patients presenting to a Rheumatology practice with hand arthritis were enrolled. Each patient completed a 9-part questionnaire, had photographs taken of each hand, and had a single examination result recorded. The Rheumatologist diagnosis was recorded following a 45-minute consultation. The photograph algorithm was developed from a library of 1000 images, and machine learning techniques were applied to the questionnaire results, training several models against the diagnosis from the Rheumatologist. RESULTS The combined algorithms in this study were able to predict inflammatory arthritis with an accuracy, precision, recall and specificity of 96·8%, 97·2%, 98·6% and 90·5% respectively. Similar results were found when inflammatory arthritis was subclassified into rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis. The corresponding figures for osteoarthritis were 79·6%, 85·9%, 61·9% and 92·6%. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates a novel application of a combined image-processing and a patient questionnaire with applied machine-learning methods, to facilitate the diagnosis of patients presenting with hand arthritis. Preliminary results are encouraging for the application of such techniques in clinical practice. CLINICALTRIAL Not applicable.

There are thousands of species of Mushrooms in the world; they are edible and non-edible being poisonous. It is difficult for non-expertise person to Identify poisonous and edible mushroom of all the species manually. So a computer aided system with software or algorithm is required to classify poisonous and nonpoisonous mushrooms. In this paper a literature review is presented on classification of poisonous and nonpoisonous mushrooms. Most of the research works to classify the type of mushroom have applied, machine learning techniques like Naïve Bayes, K-Neural Network, Support vector Machine(SVM), Artificial Neural Network(ANN), Decision Tree techniques. In this literature review, a summary and comparisons of all different techniques of mushroom classification in terms of its performance parameters, merits and demerits faced during the classification of mushrooms using machine learning techniques.

Securing a machine from various cyber-attacks has been of serious concern for researchers, statutory bodies such as governments, business organizations and users in both wired and wireless media. However, during the last decade, the amount of data handling by any device, particularly servers, has increased exponentially and hence the security of these devices has become a matter of utmost concern. This paper attempts to examine the challenges in the application of machine learning techniques to intrusion detection. We review different inherent issues in defining and applying the machine learning techniques to intrusion detection. We also attempt to identify the best technological solution for changing usage pattern by comparing different machine learning techniques on different datasets and summarizing their performance using various performance metrics. This paper highlights the research challenges and future trends of intrusion detection in dynamic scenarios of intrusion detection problems in diverse network technologies.

Unsolicited commercial email also known as Spam is becoming a serious problem for Internet users and providers (Fawcett, 2003). Several researchers have applied machine learning techniques in order to improve the detection of spam messages. Naive Bayes models are the most popular (Androutsopoulos, 2000) but other authors have applied Support Vector Machines (SVM) (Drucker, 1999), boosting and decision trees (Carreras, 2001) with remarkable results. SVM has revealed particularly attractive in this application because it is robust against noise and is able to handle a large number of features (Vapnik, 1998). Errors in anti-spam email filtering are strongly asymmetric. Thus, false positive errors or valid messages that are blocked, are prohibitively expensive. Several authors have proposed new versions of the original SVM algorithm that help to reduce the false positive errors (Kolz, 2001, Valentini, 2004 & Kittler, 1998). In particular, it has been suggested that combining non-optimal classifiers can help to reduce particularly the variance of the predictor (Valentini, 2004 & Kittler, 1998) and consequently the misclassification errors. In order to achieve this goal, different versions of the classifier are usually built by sampling the patterns or the features (Breiman, 1996). However, in our application it is expected that the aggregation of strong classifiers will help to reduce more the false positive errors (Provost, 2001 & Hershop, 2005). In this paper, we address the problem of reducing the false positive errors by combining classifiers based on multiple dissimilarities. To this aim, a diversity of classifiers is built considering dissimilarities that reflect different features of the data. The dissimilarities are first embedded into an Euclidean space where a SVM is adjusted for each measure. Next, the classifiers are aggregated using a voting strategy (Kittler, 1998). The method proposed has been applied to the Spam UCI machine learning database (Hastie, 2001) with remarkable results.

This article presents a systematic literature review that expands and updates a previous review on the application of machine learning to laboratory medicine. We used Scopus and PubMed to collect, select and analyse the papers published from 2017 to the present in order to highlight the main studies that have applied machine learning techniques to haematochemical parameters and to review their diagnostic and prognostic performance. In doing so, we aim to address the question we asked three years ago about the potential of these techniques in laboratory medicine and the need to leverage a tool that was still under-utilised at that time.
