Abstract

Tremendous number of f food images in the social media services can be exploited by using food recognition for healthcare benefits and food industry marketing. The main challenges in food recognition are the large variability of food appearance that often generates a highly diverse and ambiguous descriptions of local feature. Ironically, the ambiguous descriptions of local feature have triggered information loss in visual dictionary constructions from the hard assignment practices. The current method based on hard assignment and Fisher vector approach to construct visual dictionary have unexpectedly cause errors from the uncertainty problem during visual word assignation. This research proposes a method of combination in soft assignment technique by using fuzzy encoding approach and maximum pooling technique to aggregate the features to produce a highly discriminative and robust visual dictionary across various local features and machine learning classifiers. The local features by using MSER detector with SURF descriptor was encoded by using fuzzy encoding approach. Support vector machine (SVM) with linear kernel was employed to evaluate the effect of fuzzy encoding. The results of the experiments have demonstrated a noteworthy classification performance of fuzzy encoding approach compared to the traditional approach based on hard assignment and Fisher vector technique. The effects of uncertainty and plausibility were minimized along with more discriminative and compact visual dictionary representation.

Abstract

This empirical investigation delves into the influence of machine learning (ML) algorithms in the realm of cross-project defect prediction, employing the AEEEEM dataset as a foundation. The primary objective is to discern the nuanced influences of various algorithms on predictive performance, with a specific focus on the F1 score metric as evaluation criterion. Four ML algorithms have been carefully assessed in this study: random forest (RF), support vector machines (SVM), k-nearest neighbors (KNN), and logistic regression (LR). The choice of these algorithms reflects their prevalence in software defect prediction literature and their diversity. Through rigorous experimentation and analysis, the investigation unveils compelling evidence affirming the superiority of RF over its counterparts. The F1 score utilized as evaluation metric, capturing the delicate balance between precision and recall, essential in defect prediction scenarios. The nuanced examination of algorithmic efficacy provides practical insights for developers and practitioners navigating the challenges of cross-project defect prediction. By leveraging the rich and diverse AEEEEM dataset, this study ensures a comprehensive exploration of algorithmic influences across varied software projects. The findings not only contribute to the academic discourse on defect prediction but also offer practical guidance for real-world application, emphasizing the pivotal role of RF as a tool in enhancing predictive accuracy and reliability.

Abstract

In the wake of the 2020 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, the swift development and deployment of vaccines marked a critical juncture, necessitating an understanding of public sentiments for effective health communication and policymaking. Social media platforms, especially Twitter, have emerged as rich sources for gauging public opinion. This study harnesses the power of natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML) to delve into the sentiments and trends surrounding COVID-19 vaccination, utilizing a comprehensive Twitter dataset. Traditional research primarily focuses on ML algorithms, but this study brings to the forefront the underutilized potential of NLP in data preprocessing. By employing text frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) for text processing and long short-term memory (LSTM) for classification, the research evaluates six ML techniques K-nearest neighbors (KNN), decision trees (DT), random forest (RF), artificial neural networks (ANN), support vector machines (SVM), and LSTM. Our findings reveal that LSTM, particularly when combined with tweet text tokenization, stands out as the most effective approach. Furthermore, the study highlights the pivotal role of feature selection, showcasing how TF-IDF features significantly bolster the performance of SVM and LSTM, achieving an impressive accuracy exceeding 98%. These results underscore the potential of advanced NLP applications in real-world settings, paving the way for nuanced and effective analysis of public health discourse on social media.
