Abstract Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic started in Wuhan, China, much research work has been focusing on the clinical aspect of SARS-CoV-2. Researchers have been leveraging on various Artificial Intelligence techniques as an alternative to medical approach in understanding the virus. Limited studies have, however, reported on COVID-19 transmission pattern analysis, and using geography features for prediction of potential outbreak sites. Predicting the next most probable outbreak site is crucial, particularly for optimizing the planning of medical personnel and supply resources. To tackle the challenge, this work proposed distance-based similarity measures to predict the next most probable outbreak site together with… More >

Abstract Immunization is a noteworthy and proven tool for eliminating lifethreating infectious diseases, child mortality and morbidity. Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) is a nation-wide program in Pakistan to implement immunization activities, however the coverage is quite low despite the accessibility of free vaccination. This study proposes a defaulter prediction model for accurate identification of defaulters. Our proposed framework classifies defaulters at five different stages: defaulter, partially high, partially medium, partially low, and unvaccinated to reinforce targeted interventions by accurately predicting children at high risk of defaulting from the immunization schedule. Different machine learning algorithms are applied on Pakistan Demographic and… More >

Abstract Value creation is a major factor not only in the sustainability of organizations but also in the maximization of profit, customer retention, business goals fulfillment, and revenue. When the value is intended to be created from Big Data scenarios, value creation entails being understood over a broader range of complexity. A question that arises here is how organizations can use this massive quantity of data and create business value? The present study seeks to provide a model for creating organizational value using Big Data Analytics (BDA). To this end, after reviewing the related literature and interviewing experts, the BDA-based organizational… More >

Abstract In this work, a Novel Feature selection framework called SU embedded PSO Feature Selector has been proposed (SU-PSO) towards the selection of optimal feature subset for the improvement of detection performance of classifiers. The feature space ranking is done through the Symmetrical Uncertainty method. Further, memetic operators of PSO include features and remove features are used to choose relevant features and the best of best features are selected using PSO. The proposed feature selector efficiently removes not only irrelevant but also redundant features. Performance metric such as classification accuracy, subset of features selected and running time are used for comparison. More >

Abstract The virus SARS-CoV2, which causes coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has become a pandemic and has spread to every inhabited continent. Given the increasing caseload, there is an urgent need to augment clinical skills in order to identify from among the many mild cases the few that will progress to critical illness. We present a first step towards building an artificial intelligence (AI) framework, with predictive analytics (PA) capabilities applied to real patient data, to provide rapid clinical decision-making support. COVID-19 has presented a pressing need as a) clinicians are still developing clinical acumen to this novel disease and b) resource limitations… More >

Abstract With the rapid development of mobile Internet and finance technology, online e-commerce transactions have been increasing and expanding very fast, which globally brings a lot of convenience and availability to our life, but meanwhile, chances of committing frauds also come in all shapes and sizes. Moreover, fraud detection in online e-commerce transactions is not totally the same to that in the existing areas due to the massive amounts of data generated in e-commerce, which makes the fraudulent transactions more covertly scattered with genuine transactions than before. In this article, a novel scalable and comprehensive approach for fraud detection in online… More >

Abstract In this paper we aim to identify certain social factors that influence, and thus can be used to predict, the occurrence of crimes. The factors under consideration for this analytic are social demographics such as age, sex, poverty, etc., train ridership, traffic density and the number of business licenses per community area in Chicago, IL. A factor will be considered pertinent if there is high correlation between it and the number of crimes of a particular type in that community area. More >

Abstract Monitoring, understanding and predicting Origin-destination (OD) flows in a city is an important problem for city planning and human activity. Taxi-GPS traces, acted as one kind of typical crowd sensed data, it can be used to mine the semantics of OD flows. In this paper, we firstly construct and analyze a complex network of OD flows based on large-scale GPS taxi traces of a city in China. The spatiotemporal analysis for the OD flows complex network showed that there were distinctive patterns in OD flows. Then based on a novel complex network model, a semantics mining method of OD flows… More >
