A Sensor-to-API Data Infrastructure for Building Digital Twins: Harmonizing Multi-Rate IoT Energy and Indoor Data Streams for Proactive Analytics

Digital twins are increasingly used in smart buildings to monitor energy use. This requires reliable sensor data, geospatial information, and semantically rich 3D building geometry. However, building sensor data often has inconsistent sampl...

Genetic Algorithms in Search, Optimization and Machine Learning

David Goldberg's Genetic Algorithms in Search, Optimization and Machine Learning is by far the bestselling introduction to genetic algorithms. Goldberg is one of the preeminent researchers in the field--he has published over 100 research ar...

Virtual CT Myelography: A Patch-Based Machine Learning Model to Improve Intraspinal Soft Tissue Visualization on Unenhanced Dual-Energy Lumbar Spine CT

Background: Distinguishing between the spinal cord and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) non-invasively on CT is challenging due to their similar mass densities. We hypothesize that patch-based machine learning applied to dual-energy CT can accurat...

Epistemic frontiers and the distinction between causality, information, and predictability in pattern recognition

Abstract High predictive accuracy is frequently misinterpreted as evidence of causal understanding or population-level signal. Models can exploit spurious correlations, confounding, or protocol-induced artefacts, while post-hoc explanations...

Improving Intrusion Detection Model Prediction by Threshold Adaptation

Network traffic exhibits a high level of variability over short periods of time. This variability impacts negatively on the accuracy of anomaly-based network intrusion detection systems (IDS) that are built using predictive models in a batc...

This study introduces a comprehensive framework combining building information modeling (BIM), project management body of knowledge (PMBOK), and machine learning (ML) to optimize energy efficiency and reduce environmental impacts in Riyadh’...

Correction: The BCPM method: decoding breast cancer with machine learning

Development of Machine Learning Models to Predict Compressed Sward Height in Walloon Pastures Based on Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2 and Meteorological Data Using Multiple Data Transformations

Accurate information about the available standing biomass on pastures is critical for the adequate management of grazing and its promotion to farmers. In this paper, machine learning models are developed to predict available biomass express...

Automated speech-fluency explanations for schizophrenia diagnosis

Abstract Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe mental disorder that still relies on time-intensive, clinician-administered assessments. Although several automated approaches have been proposed to support diagnosis, these systems often lack ...

Credit Card Fraud Detection Using AdaBoost and Majority Voting

Credit card fraud is a serious problem in financial services. Billions of dollars are lost due to credit card fraud every year. There is a lack of research studies on analyzing real-world credit card data owing to confidentiality issues. In...

Knowledge-transfer learning for prediction of matrix metalloprotease substrate-cleavage sites

Abstract Matrix Metalloproteases (MMPs) are an important family of proteases that play crucial roles in key cellular and disease processes. Therefore, MMPs constitute important targets for drug design, development and delivery. Advanced pro...
