Machine learning (ML) is a popular tool in healthcare while it can help to analyze large amounts of patient data, such as medical records, predict diseases, and identify early signs of cancer. Gastric cancer starts in the cells lining the stomach and is known as the 5th most common cancer worldwide. Therefore, predicting the survival of patients, checking their health status, and detecting their risk of gastric cancer in the early stages can be very beneficial. Surprisingly, with the help of machine learning methods, this can be possible without the need for any invasive methods which can be useful for both patients and physicians in making informed decisions. Accordingly, a new hybrid machine learning-based method for detecting the risk of gastric cancer is proposed in this paper. The proposed model is compared with traditional methods and based on the empirical results, not only the proposed method outperform existing methods with an accuracy of 98% but also gastric cancer can be one of the most important consequences of H. pylori infection. Additionally, it can be concluded that lifestyle and dietary factors can heighten the risk of gastric cancer, especially among individuals who frequently consume fried foods and suffer from chronic atrophic gastritis and stomach ulcers. This risk is further exacerbated in individuals with limited fruit and vegetable intake and high salt consumption.

An intelligent growth chamber was designed in 2021 to model and optimize rice seedlings' growth. According to this, an experiment was implemented at Sari University of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, Iran, in March, April, and May 2021. The model inputs included radiation, temperature, carbon dioxide, and soil acidity. These growth factors were studied at ambient and incremental levels. The model outputs were seedlings' height, root length, chlorophyll content, CGR, RGR, the leaves number, and the shoot's dry weight. Rice seedlings' growth was modeled using LSTM neural networks and optimized by the Bayesian method. It concluded that the best parameter setting was at epoch=100, learning rate=0.001, and iteration number=500. The best performance during training was obtained when the validation RMSE=0.2884.

To mitigate COVID-19’s overwhelming burden, a rapid and efficient early screening scheme for COVID-19 in the first-line is required. Much research has utilized laboratory tests, CT scans, and X-ray data, which are obstacles to agile and real-time screening. In this study, we propose a user-friendly and low-cost COVID-19 detection model based on self-reportable data at home. The most exhausted input features were identified and included in the demographic, symptoms, semi-clinical, and past/present disease data categories. We employed Grid search to identify the optimal combination of hyperparameter settings that yields the most accurate prediction. Next, we apply the proposed model with tuned hyperparameters to 11 classic state-of-the-art classifiers. The results show that the XGBoost classifier provides the highest accuracy of 73.3%, but statistical analysis shows that there is no significant difference between the accuracy performance of XGBoost and AdaBoost, although it proved the superiority of these two methods over other methods. Furthermore, the most important features obtained using SHapely Adaptive explanations were analyzed. “Contact with infected people,” “cough,” “muscle pain,” “fever,” “age,” “Cardiovascular commodities,” “PO2,” and “respiratory distress” are the most important variables. Among these variables, the first three have a relatively large positive impact on the target variable. Whereas, “age,” “PO2”, and “respiratory distress” are highly negatively correlated with the target variable. Finally, we built a clinically operable, visible, and easy-to-interpret decision tree model to predict COVID-19 infection.

The prediction of liquefaction potential of soil due to an earthquake is an essential task in Civil Engineering. The decision tree is a tree structure consisting of internal and terminal nodes which process the data to ultimately yield a classification. C4.5 is a known algorithm widely used to design decision trees. In this algorithm, a pruning process is carried out to solve the problem of the over-fitting. This article examines the capability of C4.5 decision tree for the prediction of seismic liquefaction potential of soil based on the Cone Penetration Test (CPT) data. The database contains the information about cone resistance (q_c), total vertical stress (σ_0), effective vertical stress (σ_0^'), mean grain size (D_50), normalized peak horizontal acceleration at ground surface (a_max), cyclic stress ratio (τ/σ_0^') and earthquake magnitude (M_w). The overall classification success rate for the entire data set is 98%. The results of C4.5 decision tree have been compared with the available artificial neural network (ANN) and relevance vector machine (RVM) models. The developed C4.5 decision tree provides a viable tool for civil engineers to determine the liquefaction potential of soil.
