This research aims develop an Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) framework to facilitate human-understandable solutions for tool wear prediction during turning. A random forest algorithm was used as the supervised Machine Learning (ML) classifier for training and binary classification using acceleration, acoustics, temperature, and spindle speed during the orthogonal tube turning process as input features. The ML classifier was used to predict the condition of the tool after the cutting process, which was determined in a binary class form indicating if the cutting tool was available or failed. After the training process, the Shapley criterion was used to explain the predictions of the trained ML classifier. Specifically, the significance of each input feature in the decision-making and classification was identified to explain the reasoning of the ML classifier predictions. After implementing the Shapley criterion on all testing datasets, the tool temperature was identified as the most significant feature in determining the classification of available versus failed cutting tools. Hence, this research demonstrates capability of XAI to provide machining operators the ability to diagnose and understand complex ML classifiers in prediction of tool wear.

Effective control of credit risk is a key link in the steady operation of commercial banks. This paper is mainly based on the customer information dataset of a foreign commercial bank in Kaggle, and we use LightGBM algorithm to build a classifier to classify customers, to help the bank judge the possibility of customer credit default. This paper mainly deals with characteristic engineering, such as missing value processing, coding, imbalanced samples, etc., which greatly improves the machine learning effect. The main innovation of this paper is to construct new feature attributes on the basis of the original dataset so that the accuracy of the classifier reaches 0.734, and the AUC reaches 0.772, which is more than many classifiers based on the same dataset. The model can provide some reference for commercial banks' credit granting, and also provide some feature processing ideas for other similar studies.

Recent advancements in transformer-based speech representation models have greatly transformed speech processing. However, there has been limited research conducted on evaluating these models for speech emotion recognition (SER) across multiple languages and examining their internal representations. This article addresses these gaps by presenting a comprehensive benchmark for SER with eight speech representation models and six different languages. We conducted probing experiments to gain insights into inner workings of these models for SER. We find that using features from a single optimal layer of a speech model reduces the error rate by 32\% on average across seven datasets when compared to systems where features from all layers of speech models are used. We also achieve state-of-the-art results for German and Persian languages. Our probing results indicate that the middle layers of speech models capture the most important emotional information for speech emotion recognition.

Recommendation engine suggest content, product or services to the user by using machine learning algorithm. This paper proposed a content-based recommendation engine for providing video suggestion to the user based on their previous interests and choices. We will use TF-IDF text vectorization method to determine the relevance of words in a document. Then we will find out the similarity between each content by calculating cosine similarity between them. Finally, engine will recommend videos to the users based on the obtained similarity score value. In addition, we will measure the engine's performance by computing precision, recall, and F1 core of the proposed system.

Given a classifier, the inherent property of semantic Out-of-Distribution (OOD) samples is that their contents differ from all legal classes in terms of semantics, namely semantic mismatch. There is a recent work that directly applies it to OOD detection, which employs a conditional Generative Adversarial Network (cGAN) to enlarge semantic mismatch in the image space. While achieving remarkable OOD detection performance on small datasets, it is not applicable to ImageNet-scale datasets due to the difficulty in training cGANs with both input images and labels as conditions. As diffusion models are much easier to train and amenable to various conditions compared to cGANs, in this work, we propose to directly use pre-trained diffusion models for semantic mismatch-guided OOD detection, named DiffGuard. Specifically, given an OOD input image and the predicted label from the classifier, we try to enlarge the semantic difference between the reconstructed OOD image under these conditions and the original input image. We also present several test-time techniques to further strengthen such differences. Experimental results show that DiffGuard is effective on both Cifar-10 and hard cases of the large-scale ImageNet, and it can be easily combined with existing OOD detection techniques to achieve state-of-the-art OOD detection results.

Harnessing the power of deep neural networks in the medical imaging domain is challenging due to the difficulties in acquiring large annotated datasets, especially for rare diseases, which involve high costs, time, and effort for annotation. Unsupervised disease detection methods, such as anomaly detection, can significantly reduce human effort in these scenarios. While anomaly detection typically focuses on learning from images of healthy subjects only, real-world situations often present unannotated datasets with a mixture of healthy and diseased subjects. Recent studies have demonstrated that utilizing such unannotated images can improve unsupervised disease and anomaly detection. However, these methods do not utilize knowledge specific to registered neuroimages, resulting in a subpar performance in neurologic disease detection. To address this limitation, we propose Brainomaly, a GAN-based image-to-image translation method specifically designed for neurologic disease detection. Brainomaly not only offers tailored image-to-image translation suitable for neuroimages but also leverages unannotated mixed images to achieve superior neurologic disease detection. Additionally, we address the issue of model selection for inference without annotated samples by proposing a pseudo-AUC metric, further enhancing Brainomaly's detection performance. Extensive experiments and ablation studies demonstrate that Brainomaly outperforms existing state-of-the-art unsupervised disease and anomaly detection methods by significant margins in Alzheimer's disease detection using a publicly available dataset and headache detection using an institutional dataset. The code is available from https://github.com/mahfuzmohammad/Brainomaly.

Porcha Woodruff was eight months pregnant when police in Detroit, Michigan came to arrest her on charges of carjacking and robbery. She was getting her two children ready for school when six police officers knocked on her door and presented her with an arrest warrant. She thought it was a prank. Do you see that I am eight months pregnant?" the lawsuit Woodruff filed against Detroit police reads. She sent her children upstairs to tell her fiance that "Mommy's going to jail". She was detained and questioned for 11 hours and released on a $100,000 bond. She immediately went to the hospital, where she was treated for dehydration. Woodruff later found out that she was the latest victim of false identification by facial recognition. After her image was incorrectly matched to video footage of a woman at the gas station where the carjacking took place, her picture was shown to the victim in a photo lineup. According to the lawsuit, the victim allegedly chose Woodruff's picture as the woman ...

In many real world settings binary classification decisions are made based on limited data in near real-time, e.g. when assessing a loan application. We focus on a class of these problems that share a common feature: the true label is only observed when a data point is assigned a positive label by the principal, e.g. we only find out whether an applicant defaults if we accepted their loan application. As a consequence, the false rejections become self-reinforcing and cause the labelled training set, that is being continuously updated by the model decisions, to accumulate bias. Prior work mitigates this effect by injecting optimism into the model, however this comes at the cost of increased false acceptance rate. We introduce adversarial optimism (AdOpt) to directly address bias in the training set using adversarial domain adaptation. The goal of AdOpt is to learn an unbiased but informative representation of past data, by reducing the distributional shift between the set of accepted data points and all data points seen thus far. AdOpt significantly exceeds state-of-the-art performance on a set of challenging benchmark problems. Our experiments also provide initial evidence that the introduction of adversarial domain adaptation improves fairness in this setting.

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is an essential technique to determine a material's crystal structure in high-throughput experimentation, and has recently been incorporated in artificially intelligent agents in autonomous scientific discovery processes. However, rapid, automated and reliable analysis method of XRD data matching the incoming data rate remains a major challenge. To address these issues, we present CrystalShift, an efficient algorithm for probabilistic XRD phase labeling that employs symmetry-constrained pseudo-refinement optimization, best-first tree search, and Bayesian model comparison to estimate probabilities for phase combinations without requiring phase space information or training. We demonstrate that CrystalShift provides robust probability estimates, outperforming existing methods on synthetic and experimental datasets, and can be readily integrated into high-throughput experimental workflows. In addition to efficient phase-mapping, CrystalShift offers quantitative insights into materials' structural parameters, which facilitate both expert evaluation and AI-based modeling of the phase space, ultimately accelerating materials identification and discovery.

ABSTRACT The next generation of telescopes will yield a substantial increase in the availability of high-resolution spectroscopic data for thousands of exoplanets. The sheer volume of data and number of planets to be analyzed greatly motivate the development of new, fast and efficient methods for flagging interesting planets for reobservation and detailed analysis. We advocate the application of machine learning (ML) techniques for anomaly (novelty) detection to exoplanet transit spectra, with the goal of identifying planets with unusual chemical composition and even searching for unknown biosignatures. We successfully demonstrate the feasibility of two popular anomaly detection methods (Local Outlier Factor and One Class Support Vector Machine) on a large public database of synthetic spectra. We consider several test cases, each with different levels of instrumental noise. In each case, we use ROC curves to quantify and compare the performance of the two ML techniques. INTRODUCTION Characterization of the chemical composition of the atmospheres of extra-solar system planets is at the forefront of current exoplanetary research. The chemical makeup of a planet's atmosphere is determined by its formation; it is reshaped by its geological evolution, escape processes, interactions with the host star, its space environment; and it is potentially modified by biological activity.
