Abstract

Accurate drug classification is essential in medical decision-making to ensure patients receive appropriate prescriptions based on their physiological and biochemical characteristics. This study compares the performance of K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Random Forest models in predicting drug prescriptions using patient attributes such as age, sex, blood pressure, cholesterol level, and sodium-to-potassium ratio. The dataset, obtained from Kaggle, was preprocessed and split into training and testing sets to evaluate model performance using accuracy as the primary metric. The results indicate that Random Forest outperformed KNN and SVM, achieving a perfect test accuracy of 100%, demonstrating superior generalization and robustness. SVM also performed well, with a test accuracy of 97.50%, while KNN achieved the lowest accuracy of 70%, indicating its limitations in handling complex feature interactions. These findings highlight the effectiveness of ensemble learning methods in medical classification tasks, suggesting that Random Forest is the most suitable model for drug prediction. Furthermore, the potential applications of these findings in clinical settings could enhance treatment outcomes and patient care. Future research should explore feature engineering techniques, larger datasets, and additional machine learning approaches to enhance predictive accuracy and applicability in real-world healthcare settings.

Abstract

Microblogging platforms like Twitter enable users to rapidly share opinions, information, and viewpoints. However, the vast volume of daily user-generated content poses challenges in ensuring the platform remains safe and inclusive. One key concern is the prevalence of hate speech, which must be addressed to foster a respectful and open environment. This study explores the effectiveness of the Emoji Description Method (EMJ DESC), which enhances tweet classification by converting emojis into descriptive text or sentences. These descriptions are then encoded into numerical vector matrices that capture the meaning and emotional tone of each emoji. Integrated into a basic text classification model, these vectors help improve detection performance. The research examines how different emoji preprocessing strategies affect the performance of a BI-LSTM model for hate speech classification. Results show that removing emojis significantly reduces accuracy (68%) and weakens the model’s ability to distinguish between hate and non-hate speech, due to the loss of valuable semantic context. In contrast, retaining emoji semantics either through textual descriptions or embeddings boosts classification accuracy to 93% and 94%, respectively. The highest performance is achieved through emoji embedding, highlighting its ability to capture subtle non-verbal cues critically for accurate hate speech detection. Overall, the findings emphasize the importance of incorporating emoji-aware preprocessing techniques to enhance the effectiveness of social media content classification.
