Down syndrome (DS) is a genetic disorder with genome dosage imbalances and micro-duplications of human chromosome 21. It is usually associated with a group of serious diseases, including intellectual disabilities, cardiac diseases, physical abnormalities, and other abnormalities. Currently, since there is no cure for human DS, screening and early detection have become the most efficient way for DS...
Selecting an efficient classifier for medical data is considered as one of the most important part of today's computer aided diagnosis. The performance of single classifiers such as decision tree classifier can be increased by ensemble method. However, this approach relies on the data quality and missing values. In this paper, we propose a new ensemble classifier to overcome overfitting and biasness...
This paper evaluates a mechanism for applying machine learning (ML) to identify over-constrained IaaS virtual machines (VMs). Herein, over-constrained VMs are defined as those who are not given sufficient system resources to meet their workload specific objective functions. To validate our approach, a variety of workload-specific benchmarks inspired by common Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud...
Wind speed prediction has been used in various fields such as Satellite launch, Air traffic control, Weather forecasting etc. Wind speed can be calculated by various atmospheric variables such as temperature, humidity, pressure, wind direction, etc. A number of methods have been proposed by various researchers to predict the wind speed. During the last few years a lot of research has been carried...
Machine learning classifiers help physicians to make near-perfect diagnoses, minimizing costs and time. Since medical data usually contains a high degree of uncertainty and ambiguity, proper ordering and classification require a proper comparative performance analysis of machine learning classifiers. Machine learning classifiers are applied on the Ovarian Cancer Dataset. Ovarian cancer is the fifth...
The increased use of the Internet and the ease of access to online communities like social media have provided an avenue for cybercrimes. Cyberbullying, which is a kind of cybercrime, is defined as an aggressive, intentional action against a defenseless person by using the Internet, social media, or other electronic contents. Researchers have found that many of the bullying cases have tragically ended...
Web spam is a big problem for search engine users in World Wide Web. They use deceptive techniques to achieve high rankings. Although many researchers have presented the different approach for classification and web spam detection still it is an open issue in computer science. Analyzing and evaluating these websites can be an effective step for discovering and categorizing the features of these websites...
DDoS attacks bring huge threaten to network, how to effectively detect DDoS is a hot topic of information security. Currently, there are some methods designed to detect DDoS attacks, but the detection rate of them is low. Moreover, DDoS detection is easily misled by flash crowd traffic. In this paper, a new method to detect DDoS attacks based on RDF-SVM algorithm is proposed. By considering the importance...
The main aim of this work is to compare the performance of different algorithms for human activity recognition by extracting various statistical time domain and frequency domain features from the inertial sensor data. Our results show that Support Vector Machines with quadratic kernel classifier (accuracy: 93.5%) and Ensemble classifier with bagging and boosting (accuracy: 94.6%) outperforms other...
An algorithm that can predict the review rating of a potential business with only existing information about the location and business categories would be an invaluable tool in making investment decisions. Utilizing the Yelp business dataset, we built a model, that can do as such, by classifying whether a potential business belongs to a positively-reviewed class (star ratings greater than or equal...
Automated screening of diabetic retinopathy plays an important role in diagnosis of the disease in early stages and preventing blindness in patients with diabetes. Various machine learning approaches have been studied in literature with the purpose of improving the accuracy of the screening methods. Although the performance of the machine learning algorithm depends on the application and the type...
Market research shows that one of the most intolerable issues in the pack of cigarettes is the cigarette missing. This issue makes substantial adverse effects on a company which needs to be avoided completely. Existing research uses a weight detection method to identity packages with issues. However, the accuracy of weight detection methods is low due to instrument error and complex workshop environment...
In this current age, numerous ranges of real word applications with imbalanced dataset is one of the foremost focal point of researcher's inattention. There is the enormous increment of data generation and imbalance within dataset. Processing and knowledge extraction of huge amount of imbalanced data becomes a challenge related with space and time necessities. Generally there is a list of an assortment...
Financial fraud is an ever growing menace with far consequences in the financial industry. Data mining had played an imperative role in the detection of credit card fraud in online transactions. Credit card fraud detection, which is a data mining problem, becomes challenging due to two major reasons — first, the profiles of normal and fraudulent behaviours change constantly and secondly, credit card...
Brain-computer interface (BCI) is an emerging area of research that aims to improve the quality of human-computer applications. It has enormous scope in biomedical applications, neural rehabilitation, biometric authentication, educational programmes, and entertainment applications. A BCI system has four major components: signal acquisition, signal preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification...
In this paper, we propose an integrated system for scale-variance pedestrian detection. It consists of two cascaded components: a multi-layer detection neural network (MLDNN) for scale-variance pedestrian detection, and a fast decision forest (FDF) for boosting detection performance with only a slight decrease in speed. Experimental results on the Caltech Pedestrian dataset show that our approach...
The heart disease describes a range of conditions affecting our heart. It can include blood vessel diseases such as coronary artery disease, heart rhythm problems or and heart defects. This term is often used for cardiovascular disease, i.e. narrowed or blocked blood vessels leading to a heart attack, chest pain or stroke. In our work, we analysed three available data sets: Heart Disease Database,...
The paper describes the study on the problem of applying classification techniques in medical datasets with a class imbalance. The aim of the research is to identify factors that negatively affect classification results and propose actions that may be taken to improve the performance. To alleviate the impact of uneven and complex class distribution, methods of balancing the datasets are proposed and...

There has been a great interest in the systems that predict clinical labels from the brain images automatically for the last decade since it is a very important task that helps clinicians for decision making. In this study, clinical labels of the structural brain magnetic resonance (MR) images are predicted automatically using the random forests ensemble method. Morphological measurements like volume...
