Background: To harness the full potential of social media for epidemiological surveillance of drug abuse trends, the field needs a greater level of automation in processing and analyzing social media content. Objectives: The objective of the study is to describe the development of supervised machine-learning techniques for the eDrugTrends platform to automatically classify tweets by type/source of communication (personal, official/media, retail) and sentiment (positive, negative, neutral) expressed in cannabis- and synthetic cannabinoid-related tweets. Methods: Tweets were collected using Twitter streaming Application Programming Interface and filtered through the eDrugTrends platform using keywords related to cannabis, marijuana edibles, marijuana concentrates, and synthetic cannabinoids. After creating coding rules and assessing intercoder reliability, a manually labeled data set (N=4000) was developed by coding several batches of randomly selected subsets of tweets extracted from the pool of 15,623,869 collected by eDrugTrends (May-November 2015). Out of 4000 tweets, 25% (1000/4000) were used to build source classifiers and 75% (3000/4000) were used for sentiment classifiers. Logistic Regression (LR), Naive Bayes (NB), and Support Vector Machines (SVM) were used to train the classifiers. Source classification (n=1000) tested Approach 1 that used short URLs, and Approach 2 where URLs were expanded and included into the bag-of-words analysis. For sentiment classification, Approach 1 used all tweets, regardless of their source/type (n=3000), while Approach 2 applied sentiment classification to personal communication tweets only (2633/3000, 88%). Multiclass and binary classification tasks were examined, and machine-learning sentiment classifier performance was compared with Valence Aware Dictionary for sEntiment Reasoning (VADER), a lexicon and rule-based method. The performance of each classifier was assessed using 5-fold cross validation that calculated average F-s

Electrocardiogram (ECG) is the electrical manifestation of the contractile activity of the heart. In this work, it is proposed to utilize an adaptive threshold technique on spectrogram computed using Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT) for QRS complex detection in electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. The algorithm consists of preprocessing the raw ECG signal to remove the power-line interference, computing the STFT, applying adaptive thresholding technique and followed by identifying QRS peaks. Sensitivity, Specificity and Detection error rate are calculated on MIT-BIH database using the proposed method, which yields a competitive results when compared with the state of art in QRS detection.
When tweeting on a topic, Twitter users often post messages that convey the same or similar meaning. We describe TweetingJay, a system for detecting paraphrases and semantic similarity of tweets, with which we partici...

Vehicular ad hoc network performs crucial function in road safety, detection of traffic accidents and reduction of traffic congestions by disseminating messages among vehicles. The periodic broadcasting is an efficient approach to serve the requests of many vehicles without selecting any route between source and destination. But it degrades the network performance due to hidden node problem and broadcasting storm problem. The present work is an on demand type of unicast pull based approach of data dissemination in vehicular ad hoc network. It disseminates data in the form of response message after receiving any query message from vehicle. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated in terms of block of service, loss of query messages due to time out, average required time of sending response messages to the vehicles and throughput.

The purpose of this paper is to propose new model for emotional interaction that uses learning styles and student emotional state to adapt the user interface and learning path. This aims to reduce the difficulty and emotional stain that students encounter while interacting with learning platforms. To this end will be used techniques of Affective computer that can capture the student emotional state and base on that change the course parameters (flow, organization or difficulty) or even an emotional interaction in order to recapture the student attention.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a kind of imaging modality, which offers clearer images of soft tissues than computed tomography (CT). It is especially suitable for brain disease detection. It is beneficial to detect diseases automatically and accurately. We proposed a pathological brain detection method based on brain MR images and online sequential extreme learning machine. First, seven wavelet entropies (WE) were extracted from each brain MR image to form the feature vector. Then, an online sequential extreme learning machine (OS-ELM) was trained to differentiate pathological brains from the healthy controls. The experiment results over 132 brain MRIs showed that the proposed approach achieved a sensitivity of 93.51%, a specificity of 92.22%, and an overall accuracy of 93.33%, which suggested that our method is effective.

Given an urban public transportation network and historic delay information, we consider the problem of computing reliable journeys. We propose new algorithms based on our recently presented solution concept (Böhmová et al., ATMOS 2013), and perform an experimental evaluation using real-world delay data from Zürich, Switzerland. We compare these methods to natural approaches as well as to our recently proposed method which can also be used to measure typicality of past observations. Moreover, we demonstrate how this measure relates to the predictive quality of the individual methods. In particular, if the past observations are typical, then the learning-based methods are able to produce solutions that perform well on typical days, even in the presence of large delays.
