Building Management System (BMS) through a data-driven method always faces data and model scalability issues. We propose a methodology to tackle the scalability challenges associated with the development of data-driven models for BMS by using Large Language Models (LLMs). LLMs' code generation adaptability can enable broader adoption of BMS by "automating the automation," particularly the data handling and data-driven modeling processes. In this paper, we use LLMs to generate code that processes structured data from BMS and build data-driven models for BMS's specific requirements. This eliminates the need for manual data and model development, reducing the time, effort, and cost associated with this process. Our hypothesis is that LLMs can incorporate domain knowledge about data science and BMS into data processing and modeling, ensuring that the data-driven modeling is automated for specific requirements of different building types and control objectives, which also improves accuracy and scalability. We generate a prompt template following the framework of Machine Learning Operations so that the prompts are designed to systematically generate Python code for data-driven modeling. Our case study indicates that bi-sequential prompting under the prompt template can achieve a high success rate of code generation and code accuracy, and significantly reduce human labor costs.

Persuasion techniques detection in news in a multi-lingual setup is non-trivial and comes with challenges, including little training data. Our system successfully leverages (back-)translation as data augmentation strategies with multi-lingual transformer models for the task of detecting persuasion techniques. The automatic and human evaluation of our augmented data allows us to explore whether (back-)translation aid or hinder performance. Our in-depth analyses indicate that both data augmentation strategies boost performance; however, balancing human-produced and machine-generated data seems to be crucial.

Purpose: When a learner fails to reach a milestone, educators often wonder if there had been any warning signs that could have allowed them to intervene sooner. Machine learning can predict which students are at risk of failing a high-stakes certification exam. If predictions can be made well in advance of the exam, then educators can meaningfully intervene before students take the exam to reduce the chances of a failing score. Methods: Using already-collected, first-year student assessment data from five cohorts in a Master of Physician Assistant Studies program, the authors implement an "adaptive minimum match" version of the k-nearest neighbors algorithm (AMMKNN), using changing numbers of neighbors to predict each student's future exam scores on the Physician Assistant National Certifying Examination (PANCE). Validation occurred in two ways: Leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV) and evaluating the predictions in a new cohort. Results: AMMKNN achieved an accuracy of 93% in LOOCV. AMMKNN generates a predicted PANCE score for each student, one year before they are scheduled to take the exam. Students can then be classified into extra support, optional extra support, or no extra support groups. The educator then has one year to provide the appropriate customized support to each category of student. Conclusions: Predictive analytics can identify at-risk students, so they can receive additional support or remediation when preparing for high-stakes certification exams. Educators can use the included methods and code to generate predicted test outcomes for students. The authors recommend that educators use this or similar predictive methods responsibly and transparently, as one of many tools used to support students.

As we know, the output for classification problem is consists from two target variables, either 0 or 1; Yes or No; Positive or Negative; etc. and our model is trying to classify whether a specific data is 0 or 1; Yes or No; etc. The columns are representing the True Class, which means true or real label for the specific data. The rows are representing the Predicted Class, which means the prediction results derived from our model for the specific use case. True Positive (TP) TP is simply the count of data where the Predicted value is Positive and True value is Positive too. True Negative (TN) TN is simply the count of data where the Predicted value is Negative and True value is Negative too.

Solar activity It is vital to accurately predict solar activity, in order to decrease the plausible damage of electronic equipment in the event of a large high-intensity solar eruption. Recently, we have proposed BELFIS (Brain Emotional Learning-based Fuzzy Inference System) as a tool for the forecasting of chaotic systems. The structure of BELFIS is designed based on the neural structure of fear conditioning. The function of BELFIS is implemented by assigning adaptive networks to the components of the BELFIS structure. This paper especially focuses on performance evaluation of BELFIS as a predictor by forecasting solar cycles 16 to 24. The performance of BELFIS is compared with other computational models used for this purpose, and in particular with adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS).

Current pharmaceutical formulation development still strongly relies on the traditional trial-and-error approach by individual experiences of pharmaceutical scientists, which is laborious, time-consuming and costly. Recently, deep learning has been widely applied in many challenging domains because of its important capability of automatic feature extraction. The aim of this research is to use deep learning to predict pharmaceutical formulations. In this paper, two different types of dosage forms were chosen as model systems. Evaluation criteria suitable for pharmaceutics were applied to assessing the performance of the models. Moreover, an automatic dataset selection algorithm was developed for selecting the representative data as validation and test datasets. Six machine learning methods were compared with deep learning. The result shows the accuracies of both two deep neural networks were above 80% and higher than other machine learning models, which showed good prediction in pharmaceutical formulations. In summary, deep learning with the automatic data splitting algorithm and the evaluation criteria suitable for pharmaceutical formulation data was firstly developed for the prediction of pharmaceutical formulations. The cross-disciplinary integration of pharmaceutics and artificial intelligence may shift the paradigm of pharmaceutical researches from experience-dependent studies to data-driven methodologies.
