For past several years, microarray technology has attracted tremendous interest for both scientific community and industry. Recently, the applications of microarrays include gene discovery, disease diagnosis and prognosis, drug discovery, etc. High dimensional data with small sample size is the main problem that generate the application of dimension reduction in microarray data analysis. It is seen that SVM, ANN and NB have recently gained wide popularity for cancer classification problems. An efficient and reliable method of dimension reduction plays an important role to improve the performance of SVM, ANN and NB, when applied for classification of high dimensional microarray data. In this book, we applied different combinations of feature selection / extraction methods, as a novel hybrid dimension reduction method for SVM, ANN and NB classifiers. The obtained results are compared with other popular published dimension reduction methods for SVM, NB and ANN classifiers.

Machine Learning Approach

Technology advancements have a rapid effect on every field of life, be it medical field or any other field. Artificial intelligence has shown the promising results in health care through its decision making by analysing the data. COVID-19 has affected more than 100 countries in a matter of no time. People all over the world are vulnerable to its consequences in future. It is imperative to develop a control system that will detect the coronavirus. One of the solution to control the current havoc can be the diagnosis of disease with the help of various AI tools. In this paper, we classified textual clinical reports into four classes by using classical and ensemble machine learning algorithms. Feature engineering was performed using techniques like Term frequency/inverse document frequency (TF/IDF), Bag of words (BOW) and report length. These features were supplied to traditional and ensemble machine learning classifiers. Logistic regression and Multinomial Naive Bayes showed better results than other ML algorithms by having 96.2% testing accuracy. In future recurrent neural network can be used for better accuracy.

Lecture Notes in Computer Science (including subseries Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence and Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics)

COVID-19, affected the entire world because of its non-availability of vaccine. Due to social distancing online social networks are massively used in pandemic times. Information is being shared enormously without knowing the authenticity of the source. Propaganda is one of the type of information that is shared deliberately for gaining political and religious influence. It is the systematic and deliberate way of shaping opinion and influencing thoughts of a person for achieving the desired intention of a propagandist. Various propagandistic messages are being shared during COVID-19 about the deadly virus. We extracted data from twitter using its application program interface (API), Annotation is being performed manually. Hybrid feature engineering is performed for choosing the most relevant features.The binary classification of tweets is being performed with the help of machine learning algorithms. Decision tree gives better results among all other algorithms. For better results feature engineering may be improved and deep learning can be used for classification task.

Detection of Suicidal Ideation on Twitter using Machine Learning & Ensemble Approaches

Online social networks are being used to express and freely communicate the information. Some of the popular social networking sites (SNS) used for this purpose are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. Most of the people/bots use these SNS for spreading hoaxes, misinformation, disinformation and propaganda. Propaganda is the latest trend that is used mainly to gain religious and political influence by the help of various techniques like bandwagon, card stacking and glittering. In this research paper, efforts were made to differentiate propagandist text from non-propagandist text using supervised machine learning algorithm. Data was collected from the news sources from July 2018–August 2018. After annotating the text, feature engineering was done using various techniques like term frequency/inverse document frequency (TF/IDF) and bag of words (BOW). These features were supplied to support vector machine classifier (SVM) which showed a good accuracy having an F1-score of 0.81 for non-propagandist text and 0.58 for propagandist text. This paper will act as a base for researchers to use various other machine and deep learning techniques in differentiating the propagandist text from non-propagandist text.
