This paper proposes a computer-aided diagnostic algorithm in a non-invasive way. Currently, clinical diagnosis of jaundice is performed through blood sampling. Unlike the old methods, the non-invasive method will enable parents to measure newborns' jaundice by only using their mobile phones. The proposed algorithm enables high accuracy and quick diagnosis through machine learning. In here, we used the SVM model of machine learning that learned the feature extracted through image preprocessing and we used the international jaundice research data as the test data set. As a result of applying our developed algorithm, it took about 5 seconds to diagnose jaundice and it showed a 93.4% prediction accuracy. The software is real-time diagnosed and it minimizes the infant's pain by non-invasive method and parents can easily and temporarily diagnose newborns' jaundice. In the future, we aim to use the jaundice photograph of the newborn babies' data as our test data set for more accurate results.

In this study, the extreme learning machine and deep learning models were devised to estimate the bond strength of corroded reinforcement in concrete. The six inputs and one output were used in this study. The compressive strength, concrete cover, bond length, steel type, diameter of steel bar, and corrosion level were selected as the input variables. The results of bond strength were used as the output variable. Moreover, the Analysis of variance (Anova) was used to find the effect of input variables on the bond strength of corroded reinforcement in concrete. The prediction results were compared to the experimental results and each other. The extreme learning machine and the deep learning models estimated the bond strength by 99.81% and 99.99% accuracy, respectively. This study found that the deep learning model can be estimated the bond strength of corroded reinforcement with higher accuracy than the extreme learning machine model. The Anova results found that the corrosion level was found to be the input variable that most affects the bond strength of corroded reinforcement in concrete.

Using an extensive database, a sensitivity analysis across fifteen machine learning (ML) classifiers was conducted to evaluate the impact of various data manipulation techniques, evaluation metrics, and explainability tools. The results of this sensitivity analysis reveal that the examined models can achieve an accuracy ranging from 72-93% in predicting the fire-induced spalling of concrete and denote the light gradient boosting machine, extreme gradient boosting, and random forest algorithms as the best-performing models. Among such models, the six key factors influencing spalling were maximum exposure temperature, heating rate, compressive strength of concrete, moisture content, silica fume content, and the quantity of polypropylene fiber. Our analysis also documents some conflicting results observed with the deep learning model. As such, this study highlights the necessity of selecting suitable models and carefully evaluating the presence of possible outcome biases.

Effective fire sensing is important to protect lives and property from the disaster. In this paper, we present an intelligent visual sensing method for detecting fires based on machine learning techniques. The proposed method involves a two-step process. In the first step, fire and non-fire images are used to train a convolutional neural network (CNN), and in the next step, feature vectors consisting of 256 values obtained from the CNN are used for the learning of a support vector machine (SVM). Linear and nonlinear SVMs with different parameters are intensively tested. We found that the proposed hybrid method using an SVM with a linear kernel effectively increased the recall rate of fire image detection without compromising detection accuracy when an imbalanced dataset was used for learning. This is a major contribution of this study because recall is important, particularly in the sensing of disaster situations such as fires. In our experiments, the proposed system exhibited an accuracy of 96.9% and a recall rate of 92.9% for test image data.

Breast cancer remains a significant global health burden, necessitating accurate and timely detection for improved patient outcomes. Machine learning techniques have demonstrated remarkable potential in assisting breast cancer diagnosis by learning complex patterns from multi-modal patient data. This study comprehensively evaluates several popular machine learning models, including logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVMs), naive Bayes, k-nearest neighbors (KNN), XGBoost, and ensemble methods for breast cancer prediction using the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Dataset (WBCD). Through rigorous benchmarking across metrics like accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and area under the ROC curve (AUC), we identify the naive Bayes classifier as the top-performing model, achieving an accuracy of 0.974, F1-score of 0.979, and highest AUC of 0.988. Other strong performers include logistic regression, random forests, and XGBoost, with AUC values exceeding 0.95. Our findings showcase the significant potential of machine learning, particularly the robust naive Bayes algorithm, to provide highly accurate and reliable breast cancer screening from fine needle aspirate (FNA) samples, ultimately enabling earlier intervention and optimized treatment strategies.

The rotation accuracy of the main spindle that determines the accuracy of CNC machine tools is closely related to the quality of production because it directly affects the shape error and surface roughness of the workpiece. Therefore, the main spindle requires high rotation accuracy, rigidity, and rotation technology. This rotation accuracy is greatly affected by the bearing, center alignment between rotating parts, assembly tolerance, and unbalance of the rotation mass. In this study, the effects of the unbalance of the rotation mass of the main spindle on the rotation accuracy were investigated experimentally. In particular, we tried to study the technical reasons for improving the unbalance of the main spindle and maintaining the rotation accuracy as we verified the correlation between the vibration characteristics of CNC machine tools due to the specifically set unbalance amount and the surface roughness of the workpiece.

Classification as a tool to extract information from data plays an important role in science and engineering. Among various classification methodologies, support vector machine has recently seen significant developments. The central problem this paper addresses is the accuracy of support vector machine. In particular, we are interested in the situations where fast rates of convergence to the Bayes risk can be achieved by support vector machine. Through learning examples, we illustrate that support vector machine may yield fast rates if the space spanned by an adopted kernel is sufficiently large.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the interaction effects between price determinants of artworks. We expand the methodology in art market by applying machine learning techniques to estimate the price of artworks and compare linear regression and machine learning in terms of prediction accuracy. Methods: Moderated regression analysis was performed to verify the interaction effects of artistic characteristics on price. The moderating effects were studied by confirming the significance level of the interaction terms of the derived regression equation. In order to derive price estimation model, we use multiple linear regression analysis, which is a parametric statistical technique, and k-nearest neighbor (kNN) regression, which is a nonparametric statistical technique in machine learning methods. Results: Mostly, the influences of the price determinants of art are different according to the auction types and the artist 's reputation. However, the auction type did not control the influence of the genre of the work on the price. As a result of the analysis, the kNN regression was superior to the linear regression analysis based on the prediction accuracy. Conclusion: It provides a theoretical basis for the complexity that exists between pricing determinant factors of artworks. In addition, the nonparametric models and machine learning techniques as well as existing parameter models are implemented to estimate the artworks' price.
