Enhancing Heart Disease Diagnosis Using Machine Learning Classifiers

Ahmed A. H. Alkurdi

Heart diseases are the primary cause of death worldwide. The approximate mortality rate due to cardiovascular diseases is a staggering 18 million lives per year. many human lives could be saved with early and accurate diagnosis and prediction of such conditions. Thus, the automation of such a process is crucial and achievable with the rise of machine learning and deep learning capabilities. However, patient data is riddled with issues which must be resolved before they can be used for heart disease prediction. This research aims to improve the accuracy of heart disease diagnosis by utilizing data preprocessing techniques and classification algorithms. These techniques may provide an insight into predicting cardiovascular diseases from subtle clues before any major symptoms arise. The study employs the Heart Disease UCI dataset and follows a systematic approach to train machine learning models in the process of heart disease diagnosis. The approach utilizes a variety of data preprocessing techniques to prepare the data for model training such as MEAN missing value imputation, Normalization, Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE), and Correlation. Afterward, the preprocessed data is fed into four popular classification algorithms: Decision Tree, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN). These algorithms provide a broad evaluation of the dataset. The proposed methodology demonstrates promising results which clearly highlight the value and significance of data preprocessing. This is evident from the achieved accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score and ROC AUC results. In summary, the importance of preprocessing and feature selection is distinct when dealing with datasets containing various challenges. These crucial processes play a central role in building a trustworthy and precise model for heart disease prediction.

Zaineb Hameed Neamah , Ahmad Al-Talabi , Asma A. Mohammed Ali

Surface roughness (Ra) has a significant influence on the fatigue strength, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal of machine components. Ra is hence a crucial manufacturing process parameter. This study predicts Ra of aluminum alloy Al-7024 after milling. Regression analysis and artificial neural network (ANN) modeling approaches are suggested for predicting Ra values. For better surface roughness, the cutting parameter must be set properly. Spindle speed, feed rate, and depth of cut have been chosen as predictors. Through 31 study cases, regression and ANN were used to examine how these parameters affected Ra. The measurement of surface roughness, together with comprehensive Ra analysis and regression analysis. The findings of this investigation indicate that Ra was predicted by both the regression and ANN models. convergent results from model predictions are obtained. This convergence highlights the promising methodology used in this work to forecast Ra in the milling of Al-7024. The findings demonstrated that, in comparison to the regression model, which had an average variation from the actual values of roughly 1%, The surface roughness was accurately predicted by the ANN model.

Design of High-Performance Intelligent WSN based-IoT using Time Synchronized Channel Hopping and Spatial Correlation Model

Hamza M. Ridha Al-Khafaji , Refed Adnan Jaleel

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is one of the most significant contributors to the Internet of Things (IoT), and it plays a significant role in the lives of individuals. There are three main problems in the design of traditional WSN based-IoT. First problem about data; the WSN transmits a huge volume of data to the IoT for processing. The second problem is the energy; since sensor nodes rely on their limited battery, conserving energy is crucial, and the third problem about efficiency of transmission. This paper presents new WSN based IoT framework that integrate important techniques to solve these problems; To increase the effectiveness of data processing and storing, the intelligent Adaptive Boosting stochastic algorithm is applied. IEEE 802.15.4e time slotted channel hopping (TSCH) protocol is used because it has the benefits such as collision-free transmission and multi-hop transmission.  Data reduction at the Gateway (GW) level of the network is achieved through spatial correlation between sensors with the goal of conserving energy. Principle idea of this new framework is to identify the advantages of integrating the important techniques; intelligent Adaptive Boosting Stochastic diffusion search algorithm, TSCH, and Special correlation model. As a result, the proposed framework can thereby satisfy the need for a long battery life of low-rate applications and at the same time, the need for high throughput for high-rate uses also for testing it in achieved efficient classification of data, the important performance measures are used.
