Abstract

Developing countries are faced with social and economic challenges, including the emergence and proliferation of slums. Slum detection and localization methods typically rely on regular topographic surveys or on visual identification of high-resolution spatial satellite images, as well as socio-environmental surveys from land surveys and general population censuses. Yet, they consume so much time and effort. To overcome these problems, this paper exploits well-known seven pretrained models using transfer learning approaches such as MobileNets, InceptionV3, NASNetMobile, Xception, VGG16, EfficientNet, and ResNet50, consecutively, on a smaller dataset of medium-resolution satellite imagery. The accuracies obtained from these experiments, respectively, demonstrate that the top three pretrained models achieve 98.78%, 97.9%, and 97.56%. Besides, MobileNets have the smallest memory sizes of 9.1 Mo and the shortest latency of 17.01 s, which can be implemented as needed. The results show the good performance of the top three pretrained models to be used for detecting and localizing slum housing in northern Morocco.

Abstract

Mental health disorders affect many aspects of patient’s lives, including emotions, cognition, and especially behaviors. E-health technology helps to collect information wealth in a non-invasive manner, which represents a promising opportunity to construct health behavior markers. Combining such user behavior data can provide a more comprehensive and contextual view than questionnaire data. Due to behavioral data, we can train machine learning models to understand the data pattern and also use prediction algorithms to know the next state of a person’s behavior. The remaining challenges for this issue are how to apply mathematical formulations to textual datasets and find metadata that aids to identify the person’s life pattern and also predict the next state of his comportment. The main idea of this work is to use a hidden Markov model (HMM) to predict user behavior from social media applications by analyzing and detecting states and symbols from the user behavior dataset. To achieve this goal, we need to analyze and detect the states and symbols from the user behavior dataset, then convert the textual data to mathematical and numerical matrices. Finally, apply the HMM model to predict the hidden user behavior states. We tested our program and identified that the log-likelihood was higher and better when the model fits the data. In any case, the results of the study indicated that the program was suitable for the purpose and yielded valuable data.
