There is an unprecedented growth of internet and internet-based technologies in the recent times. We are now switching to 5G as the most recent wireless communication technology. The internet of things has become a blessing for Industry 4.0 by challenging all the existing technologies in its utility for contributing to the industrial growth. There are a lot of wireless communication technologies for IoT, and it becomes difficult choice to select one suitable for an application. Authors have presented multi-criteria decision-making techniques which are very instrumental in making a confirmed decision on the choice of appropriate technology. This choice is done based on a number of deciding parameter which are used to differentiate between all the available options. The authors have identified 11 wireless communication technologies and seven parameters to evaluate the performance of the WCT's. All the seven parameters are considered in ranking and rank matrix is obtained. This technique can be very helpful for application designers so as to choose the right platform for their applications.
There have been remarkable changes in our lives and the way we perceive the world with advances in computing technology. Healthcare sector is evolving with the intervention of the latest computer-driven technology and has made a remarkable change in the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. Due to many governing factors including air pollution, there is a rapid rise in chest-related diseases and the number of such patients is rising at an alarming rate. In this research work, we have employed machine learning approach for the detecting various chest-related problems using convolutional neural networks (CNN) on an open dataset of chest X-rays. The method has an edge over the traditional approaches for image segmentation including thresholding, k -means clustering, and edge detection. The CNN cannot scan and process the whole image at an instant; it needs to recursively scan small pixel spots until it has scanned the whole image. Spatial transformation layers and VGG19 have been used for the purpose of feature extraction, and ReLU activation function has been employed due to its inherent low complexity and high computation efficiency; finally, stochastic gradient descent has been used as an optimizer. The main advantage of the current method is that it retains the essential features of the image for prediction along with incorporating a considerable dimensional reduction. The model delivered substantial improvement over existing research in terms of precision, f -score, and accuracy of prediction. This model if used precisely can be very effective for healthcare practitioners in determining the thoracic or pneumonic symptoms in the patient at an early stage thus guiding the practitioner to start the treatment immediately leading to fast improvement in the health status of the patient.
Medical data analysis is being recognized as a field of enormous research possibilities due to the fact there is a huge amount of data available and prediction in initial stage may save patient lives with timely intervention. With machine learning, a particular algorithm may be created through which any disease may be predicted well in advance on the basis of its feature sets or its symptoms can be detected. With respect to this research work, heart disease will be predicted with support vector machine that falls under the category of supervised machine learning algorithm. The main idea of this study is to focus on the significance of parameter tuning to elevate the performance of classifier. The results achieved were then compared with normal classifier SVM before tuning the parameters. Results depict that the hyperparameters tuning enhances the performance of the model. Finally, results were calculated by using various validation metrics.
Hand gesture recognition is one of the most sought technologies in the field of machine learning and computer vision. There has been an unprecedented demand for applications through which one can detect the hand signs for deaf people and people who use sign language to communicate, thereby detecting hand signs and correspondingly predicting the next word or recommending the word that may be most appropriate, followed by producing the word that the deaf people and people who use sign language to communicate want to say. This article presents an approach to develop such a system by that we can determine the most appropriate character from the sign that is being shown by the user or the person to the system. To enable pattern recognition, various machine learning techniques have been explored and we have used the CNN networks as a reliable solution in our context. The creation of such a system involves several convolution layers through which features have been captured layer by layer. The gathered features from the image are further used for training the model. The trained model efficiently predicts the most appropriate character in response to the sign exposed to the model. Thereafter, the predicted character is used to predict further words from it according to the recommendation system used in this case. The proposed system attains a prediction accuracy of 91.07%.
Diabetes has become one of the common health issues in people of all age groups. The disease is responsible for many difficulties in lifestyle and is represented by imbalance in hyperglycemia. If kept untreated, diabetes can raise the chance of heart attack, diabetic nephropathy, and other disorders. Early diagnosis of diabetes helps to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Machine learning is a capability of machine to learn from past pattern and occurrences and converge with experience to optimise and give decision. In the current research, the authors have employed machine learning techniques and used multi-criteria decision-making approach in Pima Indian diabetes dataset. To classify the patients, they examined several different supervised and unsupervised predictive models. After detailed analysis, it has been observed that the supervised learning algorithms outweigh the unsupervised algorithms due to the output class being a nominal classified domain.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
