In this paper, we improved classification performance of benign and malignant lung nodules by including the parenchyma features. For small pulmonary nodules (4-10mm) nodules, there are a limited number of CT data voxels within the solid tumor, making them difficult to process through traditional CAD(computer aided diagnosis) tools. Increasing feature extraction to include the surrounding parenchyma will increase the CT voxel set for analysis in these very small pulmonary nodule cases and likely improve diagnostic performance while keeping the CAD tool flexible to scanner model and parameters. In AdaBoost learning using naive Bayes and SVM weak classifier, a number of significant features were selected from 304 features. The results from the COPDGene test yielded an accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 100%. Therefore proposed method can be used for the computer aided diagnosis effectively.

The main idea of this paper is to combine position information in sentence and query type classification to make the documents ranking to query more accessible. First, the use of conceptual graphs for the representation of document contents In information retrieval is discussed. The method is based on well-known strategies of text comparison, such as Dice Coefficient, with position-based weighted term. Second, we introduce a method for learning query type classification that improves the ability to retrieve answers to questions from Question Answering system. Proposed methods employ naive bayes classification in machine learning fields. And, we used a collection of approximately 30,000 question-answer pairs for training, obtained from Frequently Asked Question(FAQ) files on various subjects. The evaluation on a set of queries from international TREC-9 question answering track shows that the method with machine learning outperforms the underline other systems in TREC-9 (0.29 for mean reciprocal rank and 55.1% for precision).

최근 이상기후로 인한 국부적인 혹은 광역적인 가뭄이 빈번하게 발생하고 있는 추세이며 발생횟수 뿐 아니라 가뭄 심도 및 지속기간이 과거보다 크게 증가하여 그에 따른 피해가 커질 것으로 예측되고 있다. 특히, 2014~2015년도의 유례없는 가뭄으로 인해 저수지 용수공급이 제한되면서 많은 농가들이 피해를 입었다. 본 연구의 목적은 전국 농업용 저수지를 대상으로 기상청 3개월 예보자료를 활용 할 수 있는 농업용 저수지 저수율 다중선형 회귀 모형을 개발하여 저수율 전망정보를 생산하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 전국에 적용 가능한 저수율 다중선형 회귀 모형개발을 위해 5개의 기상요소(강수량, 최고기온, 최저기온, 평균기온, 평균풍속)와 관측 저수지 저수율을 활용했다. 기상자료는 2002년부터 2017년까지의 기상청 63개 지상관측소로부터 기상관측자료를 수집하였다. 본 연구에서는 저수율 전망 단계를 세 단계로 나누었다. 첫 번째 단계로 농어촌공사에서 전국 511개 용수구역을 대상으로 군집분석 및 의사결정나무 분석을 통해 제시한 65개 대표저수지를 대상으로 기상자료 및 관측 저수율 자료를 이용하여 다중선형 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 수집한 기상요소와 저수율을 독립변수로 하여 월별 회귀식을 산정한 결과 결정계수($R^2$)는 0.51~0.95로 나타났다. 두 번째 단계로 대표저수지의 회귀분석 결과를 전국의 저수지로 확대하기 위해 나이브 베이즈 분류법을 적용하여 전국 3098개의 저수지를 65의 군집으로 분류하고 각각의 군집에 해당되는 월별 회귀식을 산정하였다. 마지막으로 전국 저수지로 산정된 회귀식과 농업 가뭄 예측을 위해 기상청의 GS5(Global Seasonal Forecasting System 5) 3개월 예보자료를 수집하여 회귀식에 적용해 2017년 전국 저수지의 3개월 저수율 전망정보를 생산하였다. 본 연구의 전국 저수지 군집결과 기반의 저수율 전망기술은 2017년도 관측 저수율과 비교한 결과 유의한 상관성을 나타냈으며 이 결과는 추후 농업용 저수지의 물 공급 및 농업가뭄 전망 자료로서 이용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

This paper proposes a technique to determine the spam comments on YouTube, which have recently seen tremendous growth. On YouTube, the spammers appeared to promote their channels or videos in popular videos or leave comments unrelated to the video, as it is possible to monetize through advertising. YouTube is running and operating its own spam blocking system, but still has failed to block them properly and efficiently. Therefore, we examined related studies on YouTube spam comment screening and conducted classification experiments with six different machine learning techniques (Decision tree, Logistic regression, Bernoulli Naive Bayes, Random Forest, Support vector machine with linear kernel, Support vector machine with Gaussian kernel) and ensemble model combining these techniques in the comment data from popular music videos - Psy, Katy Perry, LMFAO, Eminem and Shakira.

Objective: This study proposes a methodology to analyze important variables that have a significant impact on the putting direction prediction using a machine learning-based putting direction prediction model trained with IMU sensor data. Method: Putting data were collected using an IMU sensor measuring 12 variables from 6 adult males in their 20s at K University who had no golf experience. The data was preprocessed so that it could be applied to machine learning, and a model was built using five machine learning algorithms. Finally, by comparing the performance of the built models, the model with the highest performance was selected as the proposed model, and then 12 variables of the IMU sensor were applied one by one to analyze important variables affecting the learning performance. Results: As a result of comparing the performance of five machine learning algorithms (K-NN, Naive Bayes, Decision Tree, Random Forest, and Light GBM), the prediction accuracy of the Light GBM-based prediction model was higher than that of other algorithms. Using the Light GBM algorithm, which had excellent performance, an experiment was performed to rank the importance of variables that affect the direction prediction of the model. Conclusion: Among the five machine learning algorithms, the algorithm that best predicts the putting direction was the Light GBM algorithm. When the model predicted the putting direction, the variable that had the greatest influence was the left-right inclination (Roll).

This work assesses the degree of satisfaction tourists receive as final recipients in a tourism destination based on the fact that satisfied tourists can make a significant contribution to the growth and continuous improvement of a tourism business. The work considers Pokhara, the tourism capital of Nepal as a prefecture of study. A stratified sampling methodology with open-ended survey questions is used as a primary source of data for a sample size of 1019 for both international and domestic tourists. The data collected through a survey is processed using a data mining tool to perform multi-dimensional analysis to discover information patterns and visualize clusters. Further, supervised machine learning algorithms, kNN, Decision tree, Support vector machine, Random forest, Neural network, Naive Bayes, and Gradient boost are used to develop models for training and prediction purposes for the survey data. To find the best model for prediction purposes, different performance matrices are used to evaluate a model for performance, accuracy, and robustness. The best model is used in constructing a learning-enabled model for predicting tourists as satisfied, neutral, and unsatisfied visitors. This work is very important for tourism business personnel, government agencies, and tourism stakeholders to find information on tourist satisfaction and factors that influence it. Though this work was carried out for Pokhara city of Nepal, the study is equally relevant to any other tourism destination of similar nature.

Multinomial probit model is a popular model for multiclass classification and choice model. Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method is widely used for estimating multinomial probit model, but its computational cost is high. However, it is well known that variational Bayesian approximation is more computationally efficient than MCMC, because it uses subsets of samples. In this study, we describe multinomial probit model with Gaussian process classification and how to employ variational Bayesian approximation on the model. This study also compares the results of variational Bayesian multinomial probit model to the results of naive Bayes, K-nearest neighbors and support vector machine for the UCI mice protein expression level data.

Social media is used for various purposes including entertainment, communication, information search, and voicing their thoughts and concerns about a service, product, or issue. The social media data can be used for information mining and getting insights from it. The World Health Organization has listed COVID-19 as a global epidemic since 2020. People from every aspect of life as well as the entire health system have been severely impacted by this pandemic. Even now, after almost three years of the pandemic declaration, the fear caused by the COVID-19 virus leading to higher depression, stress, and anxiety levels has not been fully overcome. This has also triggered numerous kinds of discussions covering various aspects of the pandemic on the social media platforms. Among these aspects is the part focused on vaccines developed by different countries, their features and the advantages and disadvantages associated with each vaccine. Social media users often share their thoughts about vaccinations and vaccines. This data can be used to determine the popularity levels of vaccines, which can provide the producers with some insight for future decision making about their product. In this article, we used Twitter data for the vaccine popularity detection. We gathered data by scraping tweets about various vaccines from different countries. After that, various machine learning and deep learning models, i.e., naive bayes, decision tree, support vector machines, k-nearest neighbor, and deep neural network are used for sentiment analysis to determine the popularity of each vaccine. The results of experiments show that the proposed deep neural network model outperforms the other models by achieving 97.87% accuracy.

Drought is a global phenomenon that affects almost all landscapes and causes major damages. Due to non-linear nature of contributing factors, drought occurrence and its severity is characterized as stochastic in nature. Early warning of impending drought can aid in the development of drought mitigation strategies and measures. Thus, drought forecasting is crucial in the planning and management of water resource systems. The primary objective of this study is to make improvement is existing drought forecasting techniques. Therefore, we proposed an improved version of Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) model (MD-SARIMA) for reliable drought forecasting with three years lead time. In this study, we selected four watersheds of Han River basin in South Korea to validate the performance of MD-SARIMA model. The meteorological data from 8 rain gauge stations were collected for the period 1973-2016 and converted into watershed scale using Thiessen's polygon method. The Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) was employed to represent the meteorological drought at seasonal (3-month) time scale. The performance of MD-SARIMA model was compared with existing models such as Seasonal Naive Bayes (SNB) model, Exponential Smoothing (ES) model, Trigonometric seasonality, Box-Cox transformation, ARMA errors, Trend and Seasonal components (TBATS) model, and SARIMA model. The results showed that all the models were able to forecast drought, but the performance of MD-SARIMA was robust then other statistical models with Wilmott Index (WI) = 0.86, Mean Absolute Error (MAE) = 0.66, and Root mean square error (RMSE) = 0.80 for 36 months lead time forecast. The outcomes of this study indicated that the MD-SARIMA model can be utilized for drought forecasting.
