Among Women, Breast cancer is one of the maximum occurring diseases. Many women die every year because of breast cancer globally. Early prediction and diagnosis of this disease can prevent death in the end. The survival rate increases on detecting breast cancer early as better treatment can be provided. Development in prediction and diagnosis is necessary for the life of people. A higher amount of accuracy in the prediction of breast cancer is necessary for the treatment aspects and also for the survivability of patients. It is apparent that there are different techniques available in breast cancer detection but machine learning algorithms can bring a large contribution to the process of prediction and early diagnosis of breast cancer. In this study, we use a Wisconsin dataset which was collected from a scientific dataset of 569 breast cancer. Out of 569 patients, 63% were diagnosed with benign and 37% were diagnosed with malignant cancer. The benign tumor grows slowly and does not spread. We apply five machine learning algorithms to this dataset and train a model for predicting malignant and benign tissues (BCs). Algorithms are K-Nearest neighbor, Support vector machine, Decision tree, Deep learning, and Random-forest respectively. The effectiveness of these algorithms is evaluated in terms of accuracy, F measure, confusion matrix, and specificity. By comparing the results deep learning classifier gives the highest accuracy and outclass all the other classifiers by attaining an accuracy of 9S.l3%. SVM gives an accuracy of 97.66% whereas KNN gives an accuracy of 95.79% etc.

Monkey pox is a viral disease that spreads from animals especially monkey to human beings. Monkey pox outbreak has been increasing at a concerning rate. The outbreak of monkey pox has infected several people around the world. The extent and intensity of the disease can be determined by the occurrence of the symptoms. The objective of this paper is to predict monkeypox virus so that outbreak can be administered before monkeypox looms as a viral health hazard. The monkeypox case has been classified as confirmed, discarded and suspected. This paper uses a supervised machine learning model to predict the status of monkey pox case. To diagnose monkeypox virus case, clinical parameters are required. The selected dataset contains the parameters of monkey pox virus from April 2022 onwards. It is necessary to predict the monkey pox outbreak before it effects more valuable lives. For the purpose of this paper, supervised machine learning techniques have been used to determine the performance of the dataset through experimental analysis. The experiment has been performed using various classifiers such as Decision tree, Naïve Bayes etc. to compare the accuracy rate. After the comparative analysis of the resulting accuracy percentage of different classifiers, we have proposed the model with the classifier with the highest accuracy. Our proposed model has achieved an accuracy rate of 93.51% using K-NN classifier with k=5 neighbors. Rapid miner platform is used for the application of the machine learning tools and techniques for the purpose of this research. This paper highlights the effective machine learning steps for the development of highly accurate model using machine learning techniques on monkey pox outbreak dataset.

Magnetic resonance imaging is the most generally utilized imaging methodology that permits radiologists to look inside the cerebrum using radio waves and magnets for tumor identification. However, it is tedious and complex to identify the tumorous and nontumorous regions due to the complexity in the tumorous region. Therefore, reliable and automatic segmentation and prediction are necessary for the segmentation of brain tumors. This paper proposes a reliable and efficient neural network variant, i.e., an attention-based convolutional neural network for brain tumor segmentation. Specifically, an encoder part of the UNET is a pre-trained VGG19 network followed by the adjacent decoder parts with an attention gate for segmentation noise induction and a denoising mechanism for avoiding overfitting. The dataset we are using for segmentation is BRATS’20, which comprises four different MRI modalities and one target mask file. The abovementioned algorithm resulted in a dice similarity coefficient of 0.83, 0.86, and 0.90 for enhancing, core, and whole tumors, respectively.

The purpose of this study is to develop a reliable decision support system for predicting the survival of heart failure patients. Over time, heart disease (CVD) has become one of the most visible diseases in the world. The major factors of Heart failure are Sex, cholesterol, high blood pressure, stress, age, Exercise Angina, and Resting ECG. Many researchers have proposed several methods for early diagnosis on the bases of these features. However, due to the hereditary critique of heart disease and the life-threatening risks, it is important to improve the accuracy of the proposed techniques and methods. In this article, a machine learning framework with high accuracy is proposed for the effective diagnosis of heart failure. Specifically, the framework deals with handling missing values through the first Example filter. In the second stage, the data imbalance problem is solved through the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE Upsampling). In the third step, the feature selection is done using (Optimized Feature Selection). The fourth is to normalize the data using the normalization technique, the fifth is to split the data into portions using split operators (30% and 70%). In the final step, the Decision Tree and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) classifiers are introduced for effective forecasting as these classifiers achieve the best accuracy (84.11%). The dataset validation has been performed in the background using four types of datasets. (i.e. Failure Prediction Dataset, Cardiovascular Disease, Stroke Prediction Dataset, heart disease). Comparative analysis proves that (Heart Failure Prediction) Dataset achieves better accuracy (84.11%) with fewer sets of features.

Software testing is one of the important ways to ensure the quality of software. It is found that testing cost more than 50% of overall project cost. Effective and efficient software testing utilizes the minimum resources of software. Therefore, it is important to construct the procedure which is not only able to perform the efficient testing but also minimizes the utilization of project resources. The goal of software testing is to find maximum defects in the software system. As world is continuously moving toward data driven approach for making important decision. Therefore, in this research paper we performed the machine learning analysis on the publicly available datasets and tried to achieve the maximum accuracy. The major focus of the paper is to apply different machine learning techniques on the datasets and find out which technique produce efficient result. Particularly, we proposed an ensemble learning models and perform comparative analysis among KNN, Decision tree, SVM and Naïve Bayes on different datasets and it is demonstrated that performance of Ensemble method is more than other methods in term of accuracy, precision, recall and F1-score. The classification accuracy of ensemble model trained on CM1 is 98.56%, classification accuracy of ensemble model trained on KM2 is 98.18% similarly, the classification accuracy of ensemble learning model trained on PC1 is 99.27%.

The autonomous vehicle is one of the significant efforts toward the luxurious life. The process involves several technical difficulties like synchronized communication between different sensors, efficient response time etc. In this regard, route prediction is one of the critical tasks which requires the extensive knowledge of complex concepts due to its real time nature. Although there exist several studies in this area, most of them are focusing on accuracy while ignoring the importance of simplicity. Therefore, the research community is likely to be benefited through a route prediction approach that focuses on simplicity while preserving good level of accuracy. For this purpose, a model-driven approach is proposed in this paper for automating the complex process of trajectory-based route prediction of a fully autonomous vehicle. Particularly, a metamodel which is M2 level Ecore Model of standard meta-object facility is proposed for trajectory- based route prediction. Subsequently, a complete modeling tool is developed using Sirius platform. Finally, Model-to-Text transformations are applied to generate low level Java implementations with simplicity. The validation is performed through real world case study where autonomous vehicle gain data from different sensors and store that data in the cloud for route prediction by applying an autonomous multiple model algorithm. The results are highly encouraging for the efficient route prediction in autonomous vehicle with simplicity.

Brain tumor is the spread of abnormal cells in the brain. Out of several kinds of brain tumor gliomas is the most dangerous with low survival rate and difficult to detect manually due to irregular form and confusing boundaries. Magnetic Resonance Imaging is the most widely used imaging modality that allows radiologist to look inside brain by utilizing radio waves and magnet but the manual identification of tumor region is tedious task. Therefore, a reliable and automatic segmentation and prediction is necessary for segmentation of brain tumor and prediction. However due to complexity and unavailability of resources to train deep learning algorithms, it is complex to identify the tumorous and non-tumorous region. So, in this paper, a reliable and efficient variant of UNET i.e., VGG19-UNET for segmentation of brain tumor and ensemble learning model for survival prediction is proposed. Specifically, an encoder part of the UNET is a pretrained VGG19 followed by the adjacent decoder part. Meanwhile, the ensemble voting classifier of Naïve Bayes and Random Forest was trained for survival prediction. The datasets we are using for segmentation is BRATS’20 which comprises of four different MRI modalities and one target mask file. Whereas, the datasets of survival prediction is also BTARS’20 which is comma separated file containing different features. Above mentioned algorithm resulted in dice coefficient score of 0.81, 0.86 and 0.88 for enhancing, core and whole tumor whereas the accuracy of overall survival is 62.7%
