Ciocca, Gianluigi, Napoletano, Paolo, Romanato, Matteo, Schettini, Raimondo
The management of people with long-term or chronic illness is one of the biggest challenges for national health systems. In fact, these diseases are among the leading causes of hospitalization, especially for the elderly, and huge amount of resources required to monitor them leads to problems with sustainability of the healthcare systems. The increasing diffusion of portable devices and new connectivity technologies allows the implementation of telemonitoring system capable of providing support to health care providers and lighten the burden on hospitals and clinics. In this paper, we present the implementation of a telemonitoring platform for healthcare, designed to capture several types of physiological health parameters from different consumer mobile and custom devices. Consumer medical devices can be integrated into the platform via the Google Fit ecosystem that supports hundreds of devices, while custom devices can directly interact with the platform with standard communication protocols. The platform is designed to process the acquired data using machine learning algorithms, and to provide patients and physicians the physiological health parameters with a user-friendly, comprehensive, and easy to understand dashboard which monitors the parameters through time. Preliminary usability tests show a good user satisfaction in terms of functionality and usefulness.

What Does ETL Have to Do with Machine Learning? - KDnuggets
You may have heard ETL getting thrown in sentences here and there when you're reading blogs or watching YouTube videos. So what does ETL have to do with machine learning? For those who don't already know, machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence that uses data analysis to predict accurate outcomes. It is the machine learning algorithms that produce these predicted outputs by learning on historical data and its features. It is the process of moving data from multiple sources to bring it to a centralized single database.
VEM$^2$L: A Plug-and-play Framework for Fusing Text and Structure Knowledge on Sparse Knowledge Graph Completion
He, Tao, Liu, Ming, Cao, Yixin, Jiang, Tianwen, Zheng, Zihao, Zhang, Jingrun, Zhao, Sendong, Qin, Bing
Knowledge Graph Completion (KGC) aims to reason over known facts and infer missing links but achieves weak performances on those sparse Knowledge Graphs (KGs). Recent works introduce text information as auxiliary features or apply graph densification to alleviate this challenge, but suffer from problems of ineffectively incorporating structure features and injecting noisy triples. In this paper, we solve the sparse KGC from these two motivations simultaneously and handle their respective drawbacks further, and propose a plug-and-play unified framework VEM$^2$L over sparse KGs. The basic idea of VEM$^2$L is to motivate a text-based KGC model and a structure-based KGC model to learn with each other to fuse respective knowledge into unity. To exploit text and structure features together in depth, we partition knowledge within models into two nonoverlapping parts: expressiveness ability on the training set and generalization ability upon unobserved queries. For the former, we motivate these two text-based and structure-based models to learn from each other on the training sets. And for the generalization ability, we propose a novel knowledge fusion strategy derived by the Variational EM (VEM) algorithm, during which we also apply a graph densification operation to alleviate the sparse graph problem further. Our graph densification is derived by VEM algorithm. Due to the convergence of EM algorithm, we guarantee the increase of likelihood function theoretically with less being impacted by noisy injected triples heavily. By combining these two fusion methods and graph densification, we propose the VEM$^2$L framework finally. Both detailed theoretical evidence, as well as qualitative experiments, demonstrates the effectiveness of our proposed framework.

How Customer Data Integration Can Take Your Business to the Next Level
Data integration is one of the most crucial resources within every business. As a matter of fact, data is one of the most expansive and complex resources that's difficult to process and manage. As a business expands, the amount of exact data it needs to integrate, analyze, and load will also grow. Organizations continue to add new, disparate systems as well as applications at a fast pace. Which ultimately increases data volume.
5 machine learning skills you need in the cloud
Machine learning and AI continue to reach further into IT services and complement applications developed by software engineers. IT teams need to sharpen their machine learning skills if they want to keep up. Cloud computing services support an array of functionality needed to build and deploy AI and machine learning applications. In many ways, AI systems are managed much like other software that IT pros are familiar with in the cloud. But just because someone can deploy an application, that does not necessarily mean they can successfully deploy a machine learning model.
EFI: A Toolbox for Feature Importance Fusion and Interpretation in Python
Kumar, Aayush, Mase, Jimiama Mafeni, Rengasamy, Divish, Rothwell, Benjamin, Torres, Mercedes Torres, Winkler, David A., Figueredo, Grazziela P.
This paper presents an open-source Python toolbox called Ensemble Feature Importance (EFI) to provide machine learning (ML) researchers, domain experts, and decision makers with robust and accurate feature importance quantification and more reliable mechanistic interpretation of feature importance for prediction problems using fuzzy sets. The toolkit was developed to address uncertainties in feature importance quantification and lack of trustworthy feature importance interpretation due to the diverse availability of machine learning algorithms, feature importance calculation methods, and dataset dependencies. EFI merges results from multiple machine learning models with different feature importance calculation approaches using data bootstrapping and decision fusion techniques, such as mean, majority voting and fuzzy logic. The main attributes of the EFI toolbox are: (i) automatic optimisation of ML algorithms, (ii) automatic computation of a set of feature importance coefficients from optimised ML algorithms and feature importance calculation techniques, (iii) automatic aggregation of importance coefficients using multiple decision fusion techniques, and (iv) fuzzy membership functions that show the importance of each feature to the prediction task. The key modules and functions of the toolbox are described, and a simple example of their application is presented using the popular Iris dataset.
