Chronic Kidney Disease is one of the most critical illness nowadays and proper diagnosis is required as soon as possible. Machine learning technique has become reliable for medical treatment. With the help of a machine learning classifier algorithms, the doctor can detect the disease on time. For this perspective, Chronic Kidney Disease prediction has been discussed in this paper. Chronic Kidney Disease dataset has been taken from the UCI repository. Seven classifier algorithms have been applied in this research such as artificial neural network, C5.0, Chi-square Automatic interaction detector, logistic regression, linear support vector machine with penalty L1 & with penalty L2 and random tree. The important feature selection technique was also applied to the dataset. For each classifier, the results have been computed based on (i) full features, (ii) correlation-based feature selection, (iii) Wrapper method feature selection, (iv) Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression, (v) synthetic minority over-sampling technique with least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression selected features, (vi) synthetic minority over-sampling technique with full features. From the results, it is marked that LSVM with penalty L2 is giving the highest accuracy of 98.86% in synthetic minority over-sampling technique with full features. Along with accuracy, precision, recall, F-measure, area under the curve and GINI coefficient have been computed and compared results of various algorithms have been shown in the graph. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression selected features with synthetic minority over-sampling technique gave the best after synthetic minority over-sampling technique with full features. In the synthetic minority over-sampling technique with least absolute shrinkage and selection operator selected features, again linear support vector machine gave the highest accuracy of 98.46%. Along with machine learning models one deep neural network has been applied on the same dataset and it has been noted that deep neural network achieved the highest accuracy of 99.6%.
Power quality is a major concern in electrical power systems. The power quality disturbances such as sags, swells, harmonic distortion and other interruptions have an impact on the electrical devices and machines and in severe cases can cause serious damages. Therefore it is necessary to recognize and compensate all types of disturbances at an earliest time to ensure normal and efficient operation of the power system. To solve these problems, many types of power devices are used. At the present time, one of those devices, Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is the most efficient and effective device used in power distribution systems. In this paper, design and modeling of a new structure and a new control method of multifunctional DVRs for voltage quality correction are presented. The new control method was built in the stationary frame by combining Proportional Resonant controllers and Sequence-Decouple Resonant controllers. The performance of the device and this method under different conditions such as voltage swell, voltage sag due to symmetrical and unsymmetrical short circuit, starting of motors, and voltage distortion are described. Simulation result show the superior capability of the proposed DVR to improve power quality under different operating conditions and the effectiveness of the proposed method. The proposed new DVR controller is able to detect the voltage disturbances and control the converter to inject appropriate voltages independently for each phase and compensate to load voltage through three single-phase transformers.
Nowadays, breast cancer is the most frequent cancer among women. Early detection is a critical issue that can be effectively achieved by machine learning (ML) techniques. Thus in this article, the methods to improve the accuracy of ML classification models for the prognosis of breast cancer are investigated. Wrapper-based feature selection approach along with nature-inspired algorithms such as Particle Swarm Optimization, Genetic Search, and Greedy Stepwise has been used to identify the important features. On these selected features popular machine learning classifiers Support Vector Machine, J48 (C4.5 Decision Tree Algorithm), Multilayer-Perceptron (a feed-forward ANN) were used in the system. The methodology of the proposed system is structured into five stages which include (1) Data Pre-processing; (2) Data imbalance handling; (3) Feature Selection; (4) Machine Learning Classifiers; (5) classifier’s performance evaluation. The dataset under this research experimentation is referred from the UCI Machine Learning Repository, named Breast Cancer Wisconsin (Diagnostic) Data Set. This article indicated that the J48 decision tree classifier is the appropriate machine learning-based classifier for optimum breast cancer prognosis. Support Vector Machine with Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm for feature selection achieves the accuracy of 98.24%, MCC = 0.961, Sensitivity = 99.11%, Specificity = 96.54%, and Kappa statistics of 0.9606.

Furthermore, Multilayer Perceptron ANN classifier with Genetic Search algorithm for feature selection achieves the accuracy of 98.59%, MCC = 0.968, Sensitivity = 98.6%, Specificity = 98.57%, and Kappa statistics of 0.9682.
Landslide is a devastating natural disaster, causing loss of life and property. It is likely to occur more frequently due to increasing urbanization, deforestation, and climate change. Landslide susceptibility mapping is vital to safeguard life and property. This article surveys machine learning (ML) models used for landslide susceptibility mapping to understand the current trend by analyzing published articles based on the ML models, landslide causative factors (LCFs), study location, datasets, evaluation methods, and model performance. Existing literature considered in this comprehensive survey is systematically selected using the ROSES protocol. The trend indicates a growing interest in the field. The choice of LCFs depends on data availability and case study location; China is the most studied location, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) is considered the best evaluation metric. Many ML models have achieved an AUC value > 0.90, indicating high reliability of the susceptibility map generated. This paper also discusses the recently developed hybrid, ensemble, and deep learning (DL) models in landslide susceptibility mapping. Generally, hybrid, ensemble, and DL models outperform conventional ML models. Based on the survey, a few recommendations and future works which may help the new researchers in the field are also presented.
In this research, we proposed a Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN) model for image-based plant leaf disease identification using data augmentation and hyperparameter optimization techniques. The DCNN model was trained on an augmented dataset of over 240,000 images of different healthy and diseased plant leaves and backgrounds. Five image augmentation techniques were used: Generative Adversarial Network, Neural Style Transfer, Principal Component Analysis, Color Augmentation, and Position Augmentation. The random search technique was used to optimize the hyperparameters of the proposed DCNN model. This research shows the significance of choosing a suitable number of layers and filters in DCNN development. Moreover, the experimental outcomes illustrate the importance of data augmentation techniques and hyperparameter optimization techniques. The performance of the proposed DCNN was calculated using different performance metrics such as classification accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-Score. The experimental results show that the proposed DCNN model achieves an average classification accuracy of 98.41% on the test dataset. Moreover, the overall performance of the proposed DCNN model was better than that of advanced transfer learning and machine learning techniques. The proposed DCNN model is useful in the identification of plant leaf diseases.

Skin cancer is caused due to unusual development of skin cells and deadly type cancer. Early diagnosis is very significant and can avoid some categories of skin cancers, such as melanoma and focal cell carcinoma. The recognition and the classification of skin malignant growth in the beginning time is expensive and challenging. The deep learning architectures such as recurrent networks and convolutional neural networks (ConvNets) are developed in the past, which are proven appropriate for non-handcrafted extraction of complex features. To additional expand the efficiency of the ConvNet models, a cascaded ensembled network that uses an integration of ConvNet and handcrafted features based multi-layer perceptron is proposed in this work. This offered model utilizes the convolutional neural network model to mine nonhandcrafted image features and colour moments and texture features as handcrafted features. It is demonstrated that accuracy of ensembled deep learning model is improved to 98.3% from 85.3% of convolutional neural network model.
