Machine learning in smart agriculture
Agriculture is the cultivation of the soil, the growth of crops and the raising of livestock. Agriculture is critical to the economic development of a country. Farming generates nearly 58% of a country's primary income. Previously, cultivators had accepted conventional farming practices. Because these methods were imprecise, they produced less and took longer time. Precise farming boosts productivity by precisely determining which steps must be completed at what time. Precision farming entails forecasting the weather, analyzing soil, recommending crops for cultivation and calculating the amount of fertilizer and pesticides that must be used. Precise farming uses advanced technologies such as IoT, data mining, data analytics, and machine learning (ML) to collect data, train systems and predict outcomes. Precision farming employs technology to reduce manual labor and boost productivity. Farmers have recently faced several difficulties, such as crop failure due to insufficient rainfall, soil infertility and so on. The proposed work in determining the soil, managing crops and harvesting efficiently can solve the problems caused by environmental changes. It guides a person's farming strategy to produce better results through a proper prediction process. The goal of this research is to assist an individual in efficiently cultivating crops, resulting in high productivity at a low cost. It also assists in estimating the total cost of cultivation and forecasting the likely economic barriers. This would help a person plan activities prior to cultivation, resulting in an integrated farming solution. 2023 River Publishers. All rights reserved. -

Using state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms, we analyze large datasets that include environmental variables, socio-economic characteristics, and markers of mental health among school-aged persons. We are primarily interested in identifying key relationships and trends that might help us understand the complex relationship between climate change and cognitive health in this population. In order to uncover complex insights, the chapter takes a holistic approach by combining feature selection, model training, and interpretability analysis. The cognitive capacities of school-aged children may be significantly impacted by some climate- related stresses, according to preliminary results. The findings add to our knowledge of the interconnected webs of environmental shifts, psychological susceptibilities, and cognitive consequences. Educators, legislators, and healthcare providers can benefit from this study's use of machine learning insights into the possible effects of climate change on students' mental health. It also paves the way for the creation of tailored treatments and adaptive techniques to deal with the highlighted dangers, fostering resilience and prosperity in the face of a changing environment. 2024, IGI Global.

Machine Learning Model Enabled with Data Optimisation for Prediction of Coronary Heart Disease
Cardiovascular disorders remain leading cause for mortality worldwide, necessitating robust early risk assessment. Although machine learning models show promise, most rely on conventional preprocessing, which lacks model portability across datasets. We propose an integrated preprocessing pipeline enhancing model generalizability. Our methodology standardises features solely based on training statistics and then transforms test data identically to prevent leakage. We handle class imbalance through synchronised oversampling, enabling consistent performance despite distribution shifts. This framework was evaluated on an open-source dataset of clinical parameters from an African cohort using classifiers like support vector machines and gradient boosting. All models achieved upto 80% accuracy. Remarkably, evaluating the identical models on five external European and Asian datasets maintains 80% - 86% accuracy. Our reproducible data conditioning strategy enables precise and transportable heart disease risk prediction, overcoming population variability. The framework provides the flexibility to readily retrain models on new data or update risk algorithms for clinical implementation in diverse locales. Our work accelerates the safe translation of machine learning to guide cardiovascular screening worldwide. 2024 IEEE. -

In recent times, the healthcare industry has been generating a significant amount of data in distinct formats, such as electronic health records (EHR), clinical trials, genetic data, payments, scientific articles, wearables, and care management databases. Data science is useful for analysis (pattern recognition, hypothesis testing, risk valuation) and prediction. The major, primary usage of data science in the healthcare domain is in medical imaging. At the same time, lung cancer diagnosis has become a hot research topic, as automated disease detection poses numerous benefits. Although numerous approaches have existed in the literature for lung cancer diagnosis, the design of a novel model to automatically identify lung cancer is a challenging task. In this view, this paper designs an automated machine learning (ML) with data science-enabled lung cancer diagnosis and classification (MLDS-LCDC) using computed tomography (CT) images. The presented model initially employs Gaussian filtering (GF)-based pre-processing technique on the CT images collected from the lung cancer database. Besides, they are fed into the normalized cuts (Ncuts) technique where the nodule in the pre-processed image can be determined. Moreover, the oriented FAST and rotated BRIEF (ORB) technique is applied as a feature extractor. At last, sunflower optimization-based wavelet neural network (SFO-WNN) model is employed for the classification of lung cancer. In order to examine the diagnostic outcome of the MLDS-LCDC model, a set of experiments were carried out and the results are investigated in terms of different aspects. The resultant values demonstrated the effectiveness of the MLDS-LCDC model over the other state-of-The-Art methods with the maximum sensitivity of 97.01%, specificity of 98.64%, and accuracy of 98.11%. 2023 World Scientific Publishing Company. -
