The Impact of Ontology on the Prediction of Cardiovascular Disease Compared to Machine Learning Algorithms

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Cardiovascular disease is one of the chronic diseases that is on the rise. The complications occur when cardiovascular disease is not discovered early and correctly diagnosed at the right time. Various machine learning approaches, including ontology-based Machine Learning techniques, have lately played an essential role in medical science by building an automated system that can identify heart illness. This paper compares and reviews the most prominent machine learning algorithms, as well as ontology-based Machine Learning classification. Random Forest, Logistic regression, Decision Tree, Naive Bayes, k-Nearest Neighbours, Artificial Neural Network, and Support Vector Machine were among the classification methods explored. The dataset used consists of 70000 instances and can be downloaded from the Kaggle website. The findings are assessed using performance measures generated from the confusion matrix, such as F-Measure, Accuracy, Recall, and Precision. The results showed that the ontology outperformed all the machine learning algorithms.


Enhancing Bangla Fake News Detection Using Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Units and Deep Learning Techniques

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

The rise of fake news has made the need for effective detection methods, including in languages other than English, increasingly important. The study aims to address the challenges of Bangla which is considered a less important language. To this end, a complete dataset containing about 50,000 news items is proposed. Several deep learning models have been tested on this dataset, including the bidirectional gated recurrent unit (GRU), the long short-term memory (LSTM), the 1D convolutional neural network (CNN), and hybrid architectures. For this research, we assessed the efficacy of the model utilizing a range of useful measures, including recall, precision, F1 score, and accuracy. This was done by employing a big application. We carry out comprehensive trials to show the effectiveness of these models in identifying bogus news in Bangla, with the Bidirectional GRU model having a stunning accuracy of 99.16%. Our analysis highlights the importance of dataset balance and the need for continual improvement efforts to a substantial degree. This study makes a major contribution to the creation of Bangla fake news detecting systems with limited resources, thereby setting the stage for future improvements in the detection process.


ESTformer: Transformer Utilizing Spatiotemporal Dependencies for EEG Super-resolution

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Towards practical applications of Electroencephalography (EEG) data, lightweight acquisition devices, equipped with a few electrodes, result in a predicament where analysis methods can only leverage EEG data with extremely low spatial resolution. Recent methods mainly focus on using mathematical interpolation methods and Convolutional Neural Networks for EEG super-resolution (SR), but they suffer from high computation costs, extra bias, and few insights in spatiotemporal dependency modeling. To this end, we propose the ESTformer, an EEG SR framework utilizing spatiotemporal dependencies based on the Transformer. The ESTformer applies positional encoding methods and the Multi-head Self-attention mechanism to the space and time dimensions, which can learn spatial structural information and temporal functional variation. The ESTformer, with the fixed masking strategy, adopts a mask token to up-sample the low-resolution (LR) EEG data in case of disturbance from mathematical interpolation methods. On this basis, we design various Transformer blocks to construct the Spatial Interpolation Module (SIM) and the Temporal Reconstruction Module (TRM). Finally, the ESTformer cascades the SIM and the TRM to capture and model spatiotemporal dependencies for EEG SR with fidelity. Extensive experimental results on two EEG datasets show the effectiveness of the ESTformer against previous state-of-the-art methods and verify the superiority of the SR data to the LR data in EEG-based downstream tasks of person identification and emotion recognition. The proposed ESTformer demonstrates the versatility of the Transformer for EEG SR tasks.


Sentiment Analysis Dataset in Moroccan Dialect: Bridging the Gap Between Arabic and Latin Scripted dialect

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Sentiment analysis, the automated process of determining emotions or opinions expressed in text, has seen extensive exploration in the field of natural language processing. However, one aspect that has remained underrepresented is the sentiment analysis of the Moroccan dialect, which boasts a unique linguistic landscape and the coexistence of multiple scripts. Previous works in sentiment analysis primarily targeted dialects employing Arabic script. While these efforts provided valuable insights, they may not fully capture the complexity of Moroccan web content, which features a blend of Arabic and Latin script. As a result, our study emphasizes the importance of extending sentiment analysis to encompass the entire spectrum of Moroccan linguistic diversity. Central to our research is the creation of the largest public dataset for Moroccan dialect sentiment analysis that incorporates not only Moroccan dialect written in Arabic script but also in Latin letters. By assembling a diverse range of textual data, we were able to construct a dataset with a range of 20 000 manually labeled text in Moroccan dialect and also publicly available lists of stop words in Moroccan dialect. To dive into sentiment analysis, we conducted a comparative study on multiple Machine learning models to assess their compatibility with our dataset. Experiments were performed using both raw and preprocessed data to show the importance of the preprocessing step. We were able to achieve 92% accuracy in our model and to further prove its liability we tested our model on smaller publicly available datasets of Moroccan dialect and the results were favorable.

Toward Micro-Dialect Identification in Diaglossic and Code-Switched Environments

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Although the prediction of dialects is an important language processing task, with a wide range of applications, existing work is largely limited to coarse-grained varieties. Inspired by geolocation research, we propose the novel task of Micro-Dialect Identification (MDI) and introduce MARBERT, a new language model with striking abilities to predict a fine-grained variety (as small as that of a city) given a single, short message. For modeling, we offer a range of novel spatially and linguistically-motivated multi-task learning models. To showcase the utility of our models, we introduce a new, large-scale dataset of Arabic micro-varieties (low-resource) suited to our tasks. MARBERT predicts micro-dialects with 9.9% F1, ~76X better than a majority class baseline. Our new language model also establishes new state-of-the-art on several external tasks.
