Abstract Traditional farming procedures are time-consuming and expensive as based on manual labor. Farmers have no proper knowledge to select which crop is suitable to grow according to the environmental factors and soil characteristics. This is the main reason for the low yield of crops and the economic crisis in the agricultural sector of the different countries. The use of modern technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning, and ensemble learning can facilitate farmers to observe different factors such as soil electrical conductivity (EC), and environmental factors like temperature to improve crop yield.… More >

Abstract Breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) is an important resistance protein that significantly impacts anticancer drug discovery, treatment, and rehabilitation. Early identification of BCRP substrates is quite a challenging task. This study aims to predict early substrate structure, which can help to optimize anticancer drug development and clinical diagnosis. For this study, a novel intelligent approach-based methodology is developed by modifying the ResNet101 model using transfer learning (TL) for automatic deep feature (DF) extraction followed by classification with linear discriminant analysis algorithm (TLRNDF-LDA). This study utilized structural fingerprints, which are exploited by DF contrary to conventional More >

Abstract The software engineering field has long focused on creating high-quality software despite limited resources. Detecting defects before the testing stage of software development can enable quality assurance engineers to concentrate on problematic modules rather than all the modules. This approach can enhance the quality of the final product while lowering development costs. Identifying defective modules early on can allow for early corrections and ensure the timely delivery of a high-quality product that satisfies customers and instills greater confidence in the development team. This process is known as software defect prediction, and it can improve end-product… More >

Abstract Prediction systems are an important aspect of intelligent decisions. In engineering practice, the complex system structure and the external environment cause many uncertain factors in the model, which influence the modeling accuracy of the model. The belief rule base (BRB) can implement nonlinear modeling and express a variety of uncertain information, including fuzziness, ignorance, randomness, etc. However, the BRB system also has two main problems: Firstly, modeling methods based on expert knowledge make it difficult to guarantee the model’s accuracy. Secondly, interpretability is not considered in the optimization process of current research, resulting in the More >

Abstract With the emergence of cloud technologies, the services of healthcare systems have grown. Simultaneously, machine learning systems have become important tools for developing matured and decision-making computer applications. Both cloud computing and machine learning technologies have contributed significantly to the success of healthcare services. However, in some areas, these technologies are needed to provide and decide the next course of action for patients suffering from diabetic kidney disease (DKD) while ensuring privacy preservation of the medical data. To address the cloud data privacy problem, we proposed a DKD prediction module in a framework using cloud… More >

Abstract Prediction of the nutrient deficiency range and control of it through application of an appropriate amount of fertiliser at all growth stages is critical to achieving a qualitative and quantitative yield. Distributing fertiliser in optimum amounts will protect the environment’s condition and human health risks. Early identification also prevents the disease’s occurrence in groundnut crops. A convolutional neural network is a computer vision algorithm that can be replaced in the place of human experts and laboratory methods to predict groundnut crop nitrogen nutrient deficiency through image features. Since chlorophyll and nitrogen are proportionate to one… More >

Abstract Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is one of the important resources for identifying abnormalities in the human brain. This work proposes an effective Multi-Class Classification (MCC) system using Binary Robust Invariant Scalable Keypoints (BRISK) as texture descriptors for effective classification. At first, the potential Region Of Interests (ROIs) are detected using features from the accelerated segment test algorithm. Then, non-maxima suppression is employed in scale space based on the information in the ROIs. The discriminating power of BRISK is examined using three machine learning classifiers such as k-Nearest Neighbour (kNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Random Forest More >

Abstract In early December 2019, a new virus named “2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV)” appeared in Wuhan, China. The disease quickly spread worldwide, resulting in the COVID-19 pandemic. In the current work, we will propose a novel fuzzy soft modal (i.e., fuzzy-soft expert system) for early detection of COVID-19. The main construction of the fuzzy-soft expert system consists of five portions. The exploratory study includes sixty patients (i.e., forty males and twenty females) with symptoms similar to COVID-19 in (Nanjing Chest Hospital, Department of Respiratory, China). The proposed fuzzy-soft expert system depended on five symptoms of COVID-19 More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Machine learning (ML) and cloud computing have now evolved to the point where they are able to be used effectively. Further improvement, however, is required when both of these technologies are combined to reap maximum benefits. A way of improving the system is by enabling healthcare workers to select appropriate machine learning algorithms for prediction and, secondly, by preserving the privacy of patient data so that it cannot be misused. The purpose of this paper is to combine these promising technologies to maintain the privacy of patient data during the disease prediction process. Treatment of… More >

Abstract The most significant invention made in recent years to serve various applications is software. Developing a faultless software system requires the software system design to be resilient. To make the software design more efficient, it is essential to assess the reusability of the components used. This paper proposes a software reusability prediction model named Flexible Random Fit (FRF) based on aging resilience for a Service Net (SN) software system. The reusability prediction model is developed based on a multilevel optimization technique based on software characteristics such as cohesion, coupling, and complexity. Metrics are obtained from… More >
