Malaria has been identified to be one of the most common diseases with a great public health problem globally and it is caused by mosquitos' parasites. This prevails in developing nations where healthcare facilities are not enough for the patients. The technological advancement in medicine has resulted in the collection of huge volumes of data from various sources in different formats. A reliable and early parasite-based diagnosis, identification of symptoms, disease monitoring, and prescription are crucial to decreasing malaria occurrence in Nigeria. Hence, the use of deep and machine learning models is essentials to reduce the effect of malaria-endemic and for better predictive models. Therefore, this paper proposes a framework to predict malaria-endemic in Nigeria. To predict the malaria-endemic well, both environmental and clinical data were used using Kwara State as a case study. The study used a deep learning algorithm as a classifier for the proposed system. Three locations were selected from Irepodun Local Government Areas of Kwara State with 34 months periodic pattern. Each location reacted differently based on environmental factors. The findings indicate that both factors are significant in malaria prediction and transmission. The LSTM algorithm provides an efficient method for detecting situations of widespread malaria.
As a result of advancements in technology and technological devices, data is now spawned at an infinite rate, emanating from a vast array of networks, devices, and daily operations like credit card transactions and mobile phones. Datastream entails sequential and real-time continuous data in the inform of evolving stream. However, the traditional machine learning approach is characterized by a batch learning model. Labeled training data are given apriori to train a model based on some machine learning algorithms. This technique necessitates the entire training sample to be readily accessible before the learning process. The training procedure is mainly done offline in this setting due to the high training cost. Consequently, the traditional batch learning technique suffers severe drawbacks, such as poor scalability for real-time phishing websites detection. The model mostly requires re-training from scratch using new training samples. This paper presents the application of streaming algorithms for detecting malicious URLs based on selected online learners: Hoeffding Tree (HT), Naïve Bayes (NB), and Ozabag. Ozabag produced promising results in terms of accuracy, Kappa and Kappa Temp on the dataset with large samples while HT and NB have the least prediction time with comparable accuracy and Kappa with Ozabag algorithm for the real-time detection of phishing websites.
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.
