Meta-heuristic optimization algorithms based feature selection for joint moment prediction of sit-to-stand movement using machine learning algorithms.

The sit-to-stand (STS) movement is fundamental in daily activities, involving coordinated motion of the lower extremities and trunk, which leads to the generation of joint moments based on joint angles and limb properties. Traditional methods for determining joint moments often involve sensors or complex mathematical approaches, posing limitations in terms of movement restrictions or expertise requirements. Machine learning (ML) algorithms have emerged as promising tools for joint moment estimation, but the challenge lies in efficiently selecting relevant features from diverse datasets, especially in clinical research settings.

Automated classification of choroidal neovascularization, diabetic macular edema, and drusen from retinal OCT images using vision transformers: a comparative study.

Classifying retinal diseases is a complex problem because the early problematic areas of retinal disorders are quite small and conservative. In recent years, Transformer architectures have been successfully applied to solve various retinal related health problems. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME), two prevalent retinal diseases, can cause partial or total blindness.

Application of machine learning algorithms and feature selection methods for better prediction of sludge production in a real advanced biological wastewater treatment plant.

Although the management of sewage sludge is an important and challenging task of wastewater treatment, there is a scarcity of studies on the prediction of waste sludge. To overcome this deficiency, the present work aims to develop an appropriate model providing accurate and fast prediction of sewage sludge. With this aim, different machine learning (ML) algorithms were tested by data obtained from a real advanced biological wastewater treatment plant located in Kocaeli, Turkey.

A comparative analysis of meta-heuristic optimization algorithms for feature selection on ML-based classification of heart-related diseases.

This study aims to use a machine learning (ML)-based enhanced diagnosis and survival model to predict heart disease and survival in heart failure by combining the cuckoo search (CS), flower pollination algorithm (FPA), whale optimization algorithm (WOA), and Harris hawks optimization (HHO) algorithms, which are meta-heuristic feature selection algorithms. To achieve this, experiments are conducted on the Cleveland heart disease dataset and the heart failure dataset collected from the Faisalabad Institute of Cardiology published at UCI. CS, FPA, WOA, and HHO algorithms for feature selection are applied for different population sizes and are realized based on the best fitness values.

Comparative assessment of modeling deep learning networks for modeling ground-level ozone concentrations of pandemic lock-down period.

Covid-19 pandemic lock-down has resulted significant differences in air quality levels all over the world. In contrary to decrease seen in primary pollutant species, many of the countries have experienced elevated ground-level ozone levels in this period. Air pollution forecast gains more importance to achieve air quality management and take measures against the risks under such extra-ordinary conditions.
