Predicting the financial behavior of Indian salaried-class individuals
COVID-19 has caused not only unprecedented health crises but also economic crises among individuals across the world. White-collar (salaried-class) employees with a fixed salary face financial insecurity due to job loss, pay cuts and uncertainty in retaining a job. This study examines the financial behavior of Indian white-collar salariedclass investors to their cognitive biases. In addition, the mediating effect of financial self-efficacy on cognitive biases and financial behavior is examined. Respondents were given structured questionnaires (google forms) through emails and WhatsApp for data collection. SPSS and R-PLS are used to analyze the data. Conservatism (r = -.603, p < 0.05) and herding bias (r = -.703, p < 0.05) have a significant negative correlation with financial behavior. Financial self-efficacy has a significant positive correlation (r =.621. p < 0.050). Conservatism and herding predicted 60.5% and 62.2% of the variance, respectively. The direct and indirect paths between conservatism bias, financial self-efficacy, and financial behavior are significant. The paths between herding, financial self-efficacy and financial behavior are also significant. Ankita Mulasi, Jain Mathew, Kavitha Desai, 2022. -
Predicting the Stock Markets Using Neural Network with Auxiliary Input
Predicting the stock market has always been a challenging task and has always had a certain appeal for researchers all around the world. Stock markets are supposed to be quite random and people with experience in the market strongly agree to the fact. Thus, predicting the stock market accurately paves the way for endless money. To date, no such algorithm has been devised that could even predict the stock market with a 90% accuracy rate. The difficulty lies in the randomness of the markets, and the various complexities involved in modeling market dynamics. Nevertheless, there have been algorithms with a decent success rate and researchers around the world have been in a constant attempt to improve over them. Thus, through this paper we attempt at predicting the return of a stock over a period of 10days after a particular news was out regarding the stock using the headlines of the news and certain other features important in determining the direction of a stock. The model was implemented with a sigma score of 0.81. 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. -

Predicting the Thyroid Disease Using Machine Learning Techniques
An endocrine gland that is allocated in the front of the neck is called the thyroid, which produces thyroid hormones as its main job. Thyroid hormone may be produced insufficiently or excessively as a result of its potential malfunction. There are various thyroid types including Hyperthyroidism, Hypothyroidism, Thyroid Cancer Thyroiditis, swelling of the thyroid. A goiter is an enlarged thyroid gland. When your thyroid gland produces more thyroid hormones than your body requires, you have hyperthyroidism. When the thyroid gland in our body doesnt provide enough thyroid hormones, then our body has hypothyroidism; when you have euthyroid sick, your thyroid function tests during critical illness taken in an inpatient or intensive care setting show alterations. Hypothyroid, hyperthyroid, and euthyroid conditions are expected from these thyroid conditions. The Three similarly used machine learning algorithms are: Support Vector Machine (SVM), Logistic Regression, and Random Forest methods, were evaluated from among the various machine learning techniques to forecast and evaluate their performance in terms of accuracy. Random forest can perform both regression and classification tasks. Logistic Regression is used to calculate or predict the probability of a binary (yes/no) event occurring. SVM classifiers offers great accuracy and work well with high dimensional space. A thyroid data set from Kaggle is used for this. This study has demonstrated the use of SVM, logistic regression, and random forest as classification tools, as well as the understanding of how to forecast thyroid disease.

Predicting Work Environment and Job Environment Among Employees using Transfer Learning Approach
Today's enterprises face numerous challenges as a result of the world's rapid evolution. Maintaining a content workforce is crucial to a company's success and survival in today's fast-paced business environment. The efficacy, productivity, efficiency, and dedication of the company's staff are directly associated with the company's capacity to meet the needs of its employees in the workplace. The focus of this system is to identify the factors that contribute to a satisfying work environment for the participants. Preprocessing, feature selection, and model training are the first three steps in the suggested methodology. Data mining systems should get in the habit of normalizing data as a preliminary processing step. The multiple elements assessing company culture and worker satisfaction were consolidated using Principal Components Analysis (PCA) in the feature selection phase. Once features have been selected, KNN-SVM is utilized for model training. When compared to the two most popular alternatives, SVM and KNN, the proposed technique performs better. 2023 IEEE. -

Prediction and modeling of mechanical properties of concrete modified with ceramic waste using artificial neural network and regression model
Over two centuries, concrete has been crucial to building. Thus, eco-friendly concrete is being developed. Emulating these tangible traits has recently gained popularity. Ceramic waste concretes mechanical properties were modeled in this study. Ceramic waste percentages ranged from 5 to 20%. Compressive and tensile concrete strengths were modeled. To predict concrete hardness, regression modeling and artificial neural network (ANN) were used. Model performance was evaluated using prediction coefficients and root-mean-square error (RMSE). ANN models outperformed linear prediction with a coefficient for determination (R2) of 0.97. ANN models achieved root-mean-square errors (RMSEs) of 1.22MPa, 1.21MPa, and 1.022MPa after 7, 14, and 28days of retraining, respectively. Linear regression model showed RMSE values of 1.21, 1.32, and 1.27MPa at 7, 14, and 28days, respectively. In determining the compressive and tensile strength, the R2 was 0.70, meanwhile the ANN model achieved 0.87. Given its accuracy in predicting the strength qualities of ceramics cement and structural stiffness, the ANN model presents a promising tool for representing various types of concrete.

Prediction of Answer Keywords using Char-RNN
Generating sequences of characters using a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) is a tried and tested method for creating unique and context aware words, and is fundamental in Natural Language Processing tasks. These type of Neural Networks can also be used a question-answering system. The main drawback of most of these systems is that they work from a factoid database of information, and when queried about new and current information, the responses are usually bleak. In this paper, the author proposes a novel approach to finding answer keywords from a given body of news text or headline, based on the query that was asked, where the query would be of the nature of current affairs or recent news, with the use of Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) variant of RNNs. Thus, this ensures that the answers provided are relevant to the content of query that was put forth. Copyright 2019 Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science. All rights reserved. -
Prediction of Campus Energy Consumption Patterns Using Machine Learning Techniques
The exponential increase in campus energy consumption results from the rise in population density, leading to urbanisation and the use of higher energy-intensive devices within the environment. This study explored high-performance data analytics techniques to visualise energy consumption across buildings using datasets obtained from a load audit of the entire distribution network within the Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO). Advanced time series models were used to predict and forecast the consumption patterns for a year. Visualisations for this research provided detailed insights into the energy profile across all the clusters, while the SARIMA, ARIMA, and Prophet models predicted the energy demands. The heatmap for the correlation matrix reveals a constant energy scale throughout the week (weekend average energy usage is at least 40% of the weekday). A comparative performance was done to analyse the scalability and predictive abilities of the individual models. Results from the study indicate that SARIMA has the lowest mean square error (4.4896) and the highest R2 score (0.8362). The study concludes that the adoption of machine learning models for energy forecasting and prediction is vital for modern-day energy management in the University. 2025 IEEE. -
Prediction of CFRP and NSM-Wrapped Composite Column Capacities Using Experimentation and an Ensemble Machine-Learning Approach with SHAP Interpretation
Column capacity is an essential parameter in structural design, and its accurate determination is critical for a safe load-Transfer mechanism in structures. Also, experimental and accurate model-based assessments are critical to the column capacity evaluation. The main objective of this study is to experimentally and analytically investigate near-surface mounted (NSM) wrapped columns of different configurations and compare their capacity enhancements with the capacity enhancements of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP). The study is also focused on developing a statistical regression model and extreme gradient boost (XG Boost), an ensemble machine-learning (ML) approach-based model, and examining both models developed for the experimental results by Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) interpretations. Therefore, the study experimentally reviewed the behavior of 24 composite columns to gain insights into experimental and code-recommended column capacities, stress-strain responses, axial stiffness, ductility factors, and failure modes. NSM-wrapped columns gained 10% strength increments, and, in comparison, the full-wrapped CFRP columns achieved 22% strength enhancement. The structural columns in a structure typically require various levels or types of strengthening, depending on their loading conditions, geometry, and material properties. With a 10% increment, the NSM technique suits columns needing lesser strength enhancements. Therefore, a key finding of the study is that the contribution of NSM longitudinal wrapping to column capacity is significant and cannot be ignored. A statistical regression model is developed for column capacity with four key parameters: percentage steel reinforcement, the extent of epoxy adhesion, the weight of the specimen, and the concrete clear cover. A model based on XG Boost, an ensemble ML approach, is also developed for the same four key parameters. The models developed are evaluated by SHAP interpretations. The SHAP analysis technique interpreted this improved model for various input-output features. The XG Boost machine-learning algorithm, developed with a coefficient of determination of 0.99, is found to be a refined regression model. Also, the study establishes that the ensemble ML approach used in tandem with SHAP analysis is a robust prediction and model interpretation tool, highlighting the significance of the percentage of steel reinforcement and the extent of epoxy adhesion over the other variables for the experimental dataset. 2026 American Society of Civil Engineers. -

Crime prediction is critical in improving police strategies and implementing measures for crime prevention and control. In recent years, machine learning has emerged as a critical way to predictive analytics in this domain. However, few studies have thoroughly compared various machine-learning algorithms for crime prediction. This study investigates the predicting capacities of various machine learning and ensemble approaches using historical public property crime data from a large city in India. Five ensemble models, Random Forest, AdaBoost, CatBoost, Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM) and eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) and Four machine learning models, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Nae Bayes and Decision Trees are used for crime predictive analysis in this study. The XGBoost model outperformed the other models tested, based primarily on historical crime data. XGBoost being an ensemble approachcombines multiple weak classifiers to create an effective classifier. Every weak learner concentrates on the faults made by the preceding ones, enabling the model to refine its predictions and fix errors repeatedly. When compared with other models used in the study, this resultedin higher accuracy. The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2025. -
Prediction of DDoS attacks in agriculture 4.0 with the help of prairie dog optimization algorithm with IDSNet
Integrating cutting-edge technology with conventional farming practices has been dubbed smart agriculture or the agricultural internet of things. Agriculture 4.0, made possible by the merging of Industry 4.0 and Intelligent Agriculture, is the next generation after industrial farming. Agriculture 4.0 introduces several additional risks, but thousands of IoT devices are left vulnerable after deployment. Security investigators are working in this area to ensure the safety of the agricultural apparatus, which may launch several DDoS attacks to render a service inaccessible and then insert bogus data to convince us that the agricultural apparatus is secure when, in fact, it has been stolen. In this paper, we provide an IDS for DDoS attacks that is built on one-dimensional convolutional neural networks (IDSNet). We employed prairie dog optimization (PDO) to fine-tune the IDSNet training settings. The proposed model's efficiency is compared to those already in use using two newly published real-world traffic datasets, CIC-DDoS attacks. 2023, Springer Nature Limited. -

Prediction of ground water quality in western regions of Tamilnadu using LSTM network
Assessing and safeguarding groundwater quality is critical for sustaining life in water-scarce regions like western Tamil Nadu. The motivation behind this study stems from the pressing need to address water quality challenges in a region grappling with scarcity. Despite existing efforts, a notable research gap exists in predictive tools that comprehensively capture the nuanced temporal variations and trends in groundwater quality. This is where the LSTM network steps in, showcasing exceptional accuracy in short-term predictions and discerning long-term trends. This research uses Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, a variant of recurrent neural networks, to predict groundwater quality in South Indian Regions, especially in Tamil Nadu. Extensive data, encompassing parameters such as pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and various chemical constituents, were gathered over an extended timeframe. The LSTM model was then trained on this historical dataset, factoring in temporal dependencies and seasonality inherent in groundwater quality data. The validation process rigorously tests the LSTM model against actual groundwater quality measurements. The results were impressive, as the model demonstrated a remarkable ability to unravel the complex variations in groundwater quality. 2024 Elsevier B.V.
