Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), is one of the most infectious diseases which reshaped our everyday lives globally in the 21 st century. Technology progressions have a rapid effect on every field of life, be it the medical domain or any other. More than 250 countries have been affected by COVID in no matter of time. The Indian government is making the necessary steps to control the spread of virus in the society. People all over the world are vulnerable to its consequences in the future. In a pandemic like this, people often worry whether they show a symptom of COVID-19 or not. Various AI methods have been applied successfully in epidemic studies. This paper presents the prediction and analysis of COVID-19 using various machine learning algorithms. In the present study, ML-based enhanced model is implemented to predict the possible threat of COVID-19 all over the world and the algorithms used in these models classifies the COVID patients based on several subsets of features and predicts their likeliness to get affected to this disease. This model uses 20 metrics including the patient's geographical location, travel history, health record statistics, etc., to predict the severity of the case and the feasible outcome. This research finds the patients exposed to Covid-19 and could be used as a reference, by the patients before consulting further with the doctor. The model developed using K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) is effective with a prediction accuracy of 98.34%, Recall of 97% and an F1-S core of 0.97. Overall, this paper proposes a simple and practicable method to quickly identify and predict the high risk patients and provide priority to them for treatment so that the fatality rate can be decreased.
Mining companies have complex supply chains that start from the mining location and stretch thousands of kilometers to the end customer in a different country and continent. The logistics of moving the materials from mines to ship is composed of series of optimization problems like berth allocation, ship scheduling, stockyard scheduling, and rail scheduling, which are individually NP-hard. In this paper, we present a scheduling application, called as IBM Optimization: Mine to Ship, for end-to-end integrated operations scheduling. The application is built on IBM ILOG ODM Enterprise with advanced features like rescheduling under deviations and disturbances, and maintenance scheduling. The modeling and computational complexity of integrated scheduling optimization is tamed using hybrid optimization technique that leverages mathematical programming and constraint programming. The application will benefit the mining companies with increased resource usage, higher throughput, reduced cost of operations, and higher revenue.
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.
