“…This case is regularly encountered in wireless optimization problems, which have too many local optima. [1], [12], [15], [16], [21], [23], [24], [67], [68]. Next generation wireless networks will generate a tremendous amount of data related to network statistics, such as user traffic, channel occupancy, channel quality, etc.…”

“…To overcome this, GANs are utilized, which generate large amounts of realistic datasets synthetically by expanding the available limited amounts of real-time datasets. From a DRL perspective, GANs-generated synthetic data is more effective and reliable than traditional augmentation methods [67]. This is because DRL agents will be exposed to various extreme challenging and practical situations by merging the realistic and synthetic data, enabling DRL models to be trained on unpredicted and rare events.…”

<div>Next generation wireless networks are expected to be extremely complex due to their massive heterogeneity in terms of the types of network architectures they incorporate, the types and numbers of smart IoT devices they serve, and the types of emerging applications they support. In such large-scale and heterogeneous networks (HetNets), radio resource allocation and management (RRAM) becomes one of the major challenges encountered during system design and deployment. In this context, emerging Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) techniques are expected to be one of the main enabling technologies to address the RRAM in future wireless HetNets. In this paper, we conduct a systematic in-depth, and comprehensive survey of the applications of DRL techniques in RRAM for next generation wireless networks. Towards this, we first overview the existing traditional RRAM methods and identify their limitations that motivate the use of DRL techniques in RRAM. Then, we provide a comprehensive review of the most widely used DRL algorithms to address RRAM problems, including the value- and policy-based algorithms. The advantages, limitations, and use-cases for each algorithm are provided. We then conduct a comprehensive and in-depth literature review and classify existing related works based on both the radio resources they are addressing and the type of wireless networks they are investigating. To this end, we carefully identify the types of DRL algorithms utilized in each related work, the elements of these algorithms, and the main findings of each related work. Finally, we highlight important open challenges and provide insights into several future research directions in the context of DRL-based RRAM. This survey is intentionally designed to guide and stimulate more research endeavors towards building efficient and fine-grained DRL-based RRAM schemes for future wireless networks.</div>

Breast cancer has made its mark as the primary cause of female deaths and disability worldwide, making it a significant health problem. However, early diagnosis of breast cancer can lead to its effective treatment. The relevant diagnostic features available in the patient’s medical data may be used in an effective way to diagnose, categorize and classify breast cancer. Considering the importance of early detection of breast cancer in its effective treatment, it is important to accurately diagnose and classify breast cancer using diagnostic features present in available data. Automated techniques based on machine learning are an effective way to classify data for diagnosis. Various machine learning based automated techniques have been proposed by researches for early prediction/diagnosis of breast cancer. However, due to the inherent criticalities and the risks coupled with wrong diagnosis, there is a dire need that the accuracy of the predicted diagnosis must be improved. In this paper, we have introduced a novel supervised machine learning based approach that embodies Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, Support Vector Machine, Artificial Neural Network and Multilayer Perception methods. Experimental results show that the proposed framework has achieved an accuracy of 99.12%. Results obtained after the process of feature selection indicate that both preprocessing methods and feature selection increase the success of the classification system.

Numerous e-news channels publish the daily happenings in the world from different sources. These huge amounts of news articles have lamentably conceived the information overload issue among the users. Hence text mining, which aims in extracting previously unknown information from unstructured text, has been widely used by several researchers to segregate full news articles however, the news headlines categorization is still specifically limited. Therefore, considering this limitation, the current research aims to propose a framework that will self-learn and automatically classify any given news headline into its corresponding news category using artificial intelligence methods i.e. text mining and machine learning algorithms. The proposed framework consists of three stages: Exploratory Data Analysis, Text Pre-processing, and Text Classification. For exploratory data analysis, the top 10 most frequent balanced news categories are chosen so that further processing of data can be done on a more balanced version of the dataset. After exploring the data, text pre-processing techniques are applied to make the data transformed, normalized, and structured. Finally, text classification is carried out with two approaches: unsupervised classification using Mean Shift and K-means algorithms and supervised classification using Logistic Regression with Bag of Words and TF-IDF algorithm. To depict the working of the proposed framework, a case study is presented on a news headlines dataset which accurately performed news headlines classification.
