Machine Learning with Data Science-Enabled Lung Cancer Diagnosis and Classification Using Computed Tomography Images
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. -

Machine Learning-Enabled NIR Spectroscopy. Part 3: Hyperparameter by Design (HyD) Based ANN-MLP Optimization, Model Generalizability, and Model Transferability
Data variations, library changes, and poorly tuned hyperparameters can cause failures in data-driven modelling. In such scenarios, model drift, a gradual shift in model performance, can lead to inaccurate predictions. Monitoring and mitigating drift are vital to maintain model effectiveness. USFDA and ICH regulate pharmaceutical variation with scientific risk-based approaches. In this study, the hyperparameter optimization for the Artificial Neural Network Multilayer Perceptron (ANN-MLP) was investigated using open-source data. The design of experiments (DoE) approach in combination with target drift prediction and statistical process control (SPC) was employed to achieve this objective. First, pre-screening and optimization DoEs were conducted on lab-scale data, serving as internal validation data, to identify the design space and control space. The regression performance metrics were carefully monitored to ensure the right set of hyperparameters was selected, optimizing the modelling time and storage requirements. Before extending the analysis to external validation data, a drift analysis on the target variable was performed. This aimed to determine if the external data fell within the studied range or required retraining of the model. Although a drift was observed, the external data remained well within the range of the internal validation data. Subsequently, trend analysis and process monitoring for the mean absolute error of the active content were conducted. The combined use of DoE, drift analysis, and SPC enabled trend analysis, ensuring that both current and external validation data met acceptance criteria. Out-of-specification and process control limits were determined, providing valuable insights into the models performance and overall reliability. This comprehensive approach allowed for robust hyperparameter optimization and effective management of model lifecycle, crucial in achieving accurate and dependable predictions in various real-world applications.

Machine Learningcloud-Based Approach to Identify and Classify Disease
The term "Internet of Things"(IoT) describes the process of creating and modeling web-related physical objects across computing systems. IoT-based healthcare applications have offered multiple real-time products and benefits in recent years. For millions of people, these programmers provide hospitalization can get regular medical records and healthy lives. The introduction of IoT devices in the health sector has several technological developments. This study uses the IoT to construct a disease diagnostic system. Wearable sensors in this system initially monitor the patient's sympathy impulses. The impulses are then sent by a network environment to a server. In addition, a new hybrid approach to evaluation decision-making was presented as part of this research. This technique starts with the development of a set of features of the patient's pulses. Based on a learning approach qualifications are neglected. A fuzzy neural model was used as a diagnostic tool. A specific diagnosis of a particular ailment, such as the diagnosis of a patient's normal and abnormal pulse or the assessment of insulin issues, would be modeled to assess this technology. 2022 IEEE. -
Machine LearningEnabled NIR Spectroscopy. Part 2: Workflow for Selecting a Subset of Samples from Publicly Accessible Data
Abstract: An increasingly large dataset of pharmaceuticsdisciplines is frequently challenging to comprehend. Since machine learning needs high-quality data sets, the open-source dataset can be a place to start. This work presents a systematic method to choose representative subsamples from the existing research, along with an extensive set of quality measures and a visualization strategy. The preceding article (Muthudoss et al. in AAPS PharmSciTech 23, 2022) describes a workflow for leveraging near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to obtain reliable and robustdata on pharmaceutical samples. This study describes the systematic and structured procedure for selecting subsamples from the historical data. We offer a wide range of in-depth quality measures, diagnostic tools, and visualization techniques. A real-world, well-researched NIR dataset was employed to demonstrate this approach. This open-source tablet dataset (http://www.models.life.ku.dk/Tablets) consists of different doses in milligrams, different shapes, and sizes of dosage forms, slots in tablets, three different manufacturing scales (lab, pilot, production), coating differences (coated vs uncoated), etc. This sample is appropriate; that is, the model was developed on one scale (in this research, the lab scale), and it can be great to investigate how well the top models are transferable when tested on new data like pilot-scale or production (full) scale. A literature review indicated that the PLS regression models outperform artificial neural network-multilayer perceptron (ANN-MLP). This work demonstrates the selection of appropriate hyperparameters and their impact on ANN-MLP model performance. The hyperparameter tuning approaches and performance with available references are discussed for the data under investigation. Model extension from lab-scale to pilot-scale/production scale is demonstrated. Highlights: We present a comprehensive quality metrics and visualization strategy in selecting subsamples from the existing studies A comprehensive assessment and workflow are demonstrated using historical real-world near-infrared (NIR) data sets Selection of appropriate hyperparameters and their impact on artificial neural network-multilayer perceptron (ANN-MLP) model performance The choice of hyperparameter tuning approaches and performance with available references are discussed for the data under investigation Model extension from lab-scale to pilot-scale successfully demonstrated Graphical Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]. 2023, The Author(s). -
Machine Transliteration of Handwritten MODI Script to Devanagari using Deep Neural Networks
The transliteration process involves transcribing words from the source language into the target language that uses a different script. Language and scriptural hurdles can be overcome via transliteration systems. There is a demand for automated transliteration systems due to the existence of several languages and the growing number of multilingual speakers. This study focuses on the Machine Transliteration of handwritten MODI script to Devanagari. MODI script was the official script for Marathi till 1950. Although Devanagari has, since then, taken over as the Marathi languages official script, the MODI script has historical significance as large volumes of its manuscripts are preserved in libraries across different parts of India. However, MODI into Devanagari transliteration is a difficult task because MODI script documents are complex in nature and there is no standard dataset available for the experiment. Machine Transliteration can be approached either as a Natural Language Processing task or as a pattern recognition task. In this research work, the transliteration task is carried out using the pattern recognition technique. The transliteration of MODI script to Devanagari is implemented using Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network (CRNN) based Calamari OCR, which is open-source software. An accuracy of 88.14% is achieved in character level matching of each word in the MODI to Devanagari transliteration process. When considering the entire word matching, the accuracy achieved is 61%. Machine Transliteration of MODI script documents results in the retrieval of large repositories of knowledge from ancient MODI manuscripts.

Machining Characteristics Evaluation of Al7075TiB2 In Situ Composite Using Abrasive Water Jet Machining with Varied Test Parameters
The study delves into the abrasive water jet (AWJ) cutting of an Al7075TiB2 metal matrix composite that was synthesized in situ. The primary goal is to investigate how variations in three key process parameters, namely, stand-off distance (SOD) ranging from 0.5 to 2.5mm, abrasive flow rate (100 to 300gmin), and traverse speed (100 to 500mmmin), affect three critical performance metrics: volumetric material removal rate (VMRR), dimensional accuracy, and surface roughness (SR). The study's findings were represented graphically, highlighting the relationships between these responses and the aforementioned process parameters. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was also used to examine the machined surfaces. It was discovered that increasing traverse speed resulted in significant increases in surface roughness, VMRR, and dimensional errors. An increase in the SOD, on the other hand, resulted in an increase in surface roughness, VMRR, and a decrease in dimensional accuracy. Furthermore, increasing the abrasive flow rate resulted in lower surface roughness and dimensional accuracy while achieving a higher VMRR. 2023, The Institution of Engineers (India). -
MADeGen: Multi-Agent based Deep Reinforcement Learning for Sequential Keyphrase Generation
Keyphrase generation is an essential tool in the field of natural language processing for information retrieval, document summarization, and text recommendation applications, extracting succinct and representative phrases from the text document. Traditional keyphrase extraction methods applied the supervised or unsupervised learning fail to capture the sequential keyphrase generation in a dynamic environment. The keyphrase generation approaches lack focus on explicitly discriminating the present and absent keyphrases, leading to the inadequate generation of semantically rich absent keyphrases. Hence, this work utilizes the potential benefits of reinforcement learning with the design of a distinguished reward function for present and absent keyphrases for sequential decision-making in the keyphrase generation. Thus, this work presents a novel keyphrase generation system, MADeGen, utilizing Multi- Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning (MADRL). In particular, a multi-agent reinforcement system collaboratively enables the generation of representative and coherent keyphrases by the evaluation metric-aware cooperative reward function analysis and adaptively training the agents. The proposed MADeGen incorporates two major phases, such as multi-agent modelling and actor critic-based policy optimization towards accurate keyphrase generation. In the first phase, the proposed approach designs two learning agents, including the extraction agent and generation agent, with the incorporation of a pre-trained language model. In the multi-agent system, the generation agent is the finetuned version of the extraction agent with the integration of the Wikipedia source. Secondly, the evaluation-aware adaptive reward function is designed to evaluate each agent's generated keyphrases with reference to ground-truth keyphrases. In subsequence, the cooperative reward analysis triggers the actor critic-based policy optimization for the generation agent in the multi-agent system to precisely generate the semantically relevant keyphrases with the assistance of an external web source. Experimental results on several benchmark datasets, such as Inspec, PubMed, and wiki20, illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed MADeGen compared to the existing keyphrase extraction models, yielding state-of-the-art performance in keyphrase extraction tasks. The proposed MADeGen proves its higher performance in the present as well as absent keyphrase extraction as 0.367 and 0.438 F1-score, respectively, while testing on the Inspec dataset.

Magnetic coupling across the antiferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic interface
We investigate the magnetic coupling across the antiferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic (AFM-AFM) interface for the prototypical CoO-NiO bilayer system where the bulk Nl temperature (T N ) of NiO is higher than that of CoO. Using the temperature-dependent exchange-scattered electron intensities from the surface AFM lattice, the surface T N of CoO was estimated as a function of the CoO/NiO film thicknesses. Our results show that the surface T N of CoO layers is enhanced significantly from its bulk T N value and approaching the T N of the NiO layers, as the thickness of the CoO layers is reduced to the monolayer limit. Thus, thinner CoO layers are found to have higher T N than thicker layers on NiO, contrasting with the expected finite-size behavior. In addition to the short-range magnetic exchange coupling at the CoO-NiO interface, we observe the existence of a longer-range magnetic coupling across the interface, mediated by the magnetic correlations. Thus, the magnetic proximity effect is attributed to a combination of a short-range and a weaker long-range magnetic coupling, explaining the long AFM order propagation length in AFM-AFM superlattices and bilayers. Further, our results indicate a new approach to tune the AFM Nl temperature by varying the individual layer thickness of the bilayer system through the magnetic proximity effect. 2021 IOP Publishing Ltd. -

Here, Manganese Oxide (Mn3O4) decorated reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets hybrid composite was synthesised in chemical methods. The hybrid nanocomposite shows supercapacitance performance under a magnetic field and light irradiation. The magnetoelectrochemistry behaviour of the material was studied by varying external magnetic fields and the charge storage behaviours depending on the magnetic field. Additionally, the charge storage behaviour also changes under visible light irradiation. Interestingly, 82% enhancement is obtained under visible light. Therefore the present work gives a new pathway to understand the charge storage behaviour under light and magnetic fields. Qatar University and Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024. -
Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles immobilized on microporous molecular sieves as efficient porous catalyst for photodegradation, transesterification and esterification reactions
Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles were immobilized on microporous molecular sieves (13X) via a plant extract mediated green synthesis method. The prepared material was then characterized using XRD, FTIR, TGA, FESEM, and TEM techniques. The synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles-molecular sieves (Fe2O3/MS) composite showed excellent photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) at 99% efficiency. Enhanced photocatalytic properties were observed in comparison with the pure iron oxide (Fe2O3) nanoparticles synthesized. Catalytic conversion of triglycerides to fatty-acid ethyl esters (FAEE) was carried out using sunflower oil, and the reaction showed very good catalytic activity in the transesterification of sunflower oil, converting 84% of the sunflower oil to FAEE. The catalyst was also used in the esterification reaction and found to have excellent applicability. The catalyst showed excellent reusability, and easy separation from the reaction mixture using an external magnet. This enables the synthesized material to act as a promising photocatalyst in degradation and organic synthesis. Very few reports are available on the synthesis of magnetic iron oxide coated on molecular sieves and used for photodegradation, transesterification, and esterification catalysis. 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
