The rapid growth of financial technology (fintech) services in Indonesia has significantly transformed digital transaction behavior, with digital wallets such as DANA becoming widely adopted. Despite high usage rates, public discourse on social media frequently highlights both positive experiences and recurring concerns related to system reliability and data security. Twitter, as a real-time public communication platform, provides a rich source of user-generated content that reflects public perception toward fintech services. This study investigates public sentiment toward DANA fintech services in Indonesia through sentiment analysis of Twitter data using machine learning approaches. Purpose:This study aims to analyze public perception of DANA fintech services based on sentiment expressed on Twitter and to compare the performance of several machine learning classification algorithms in identifying positive, neutral, and negative sentiments in Indonesian-language social media texts. Methods/Study design/approach: The study employs a quantitative descriptive approach using text mining and sentiment analysis techniques. Twitter data were collected via the Twitter API over a specified period and processed through preprocessing stages including text cleaning, tokenization, stopword removal, and stemming. Feature extraction was performed using the Term Frequency–Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) method. Sentiment classification was conducted using Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), and Random Forest algorithms. Model performance was evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score metrics. Result/Findings:The results indicate that public sentiment toward DANA is predominantly positive, driven by perceptions of transaction convenience and speed, followed by neutral sentiment, while negative sentiment is mainly associated with system disruptions and data security issues. Among the evaluated algorithms, SVM achieved the highest classification accuracy (91.4%), outperforming Random Forest and KNN. These findings demonstrate that SVM is more effective for sentiment classification of short Indonesian-language texts on social media platforms. Novelty/Originality/Value:This study contributes to the growing body of sentiment analysis research in Indonesia by providing empirical evidence on public perception of fintech services using machine learning techniques. By systematically comparing multiple classification algorithms in the context of Indonesian Twitter data, the study offers methodological insights and practical implications for fintech service providers in improving service quality, communication strategies, and user trust.

In this paper, the learning performance of different machine learning algorithms is investigated by applying fuzzy-rough feature selection (FRFS) technique on optimally balanced training and testing sets, consisting of the piezophilic and nonpiezophilic proteins. By experimenting using FRFS technique followed by Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) at optimal balancing ratios, we obtain the best results by achieving sensitivity of 79.60%, specificity of 74.50%, average accuracy of 77.10%, AUC of 0.841, and MCC of 0.542 with random forest algorithm. The ranking of input features according to their differentiating ability of piezophilic and nonpiezophilic proteins is presented by using fuzzy-rough attribute evaluator. From the results, it is observed that the performance of classification algorithms can be improved by selecting the reduced optimally balanced training and testing sets. This can be obtained by selecting the relevant and non-redundant features from training sets using FRFS approach followed by suitably modifying the class distribution.

The tweaks performed in the paper outclassed the original random forest algorithm with a difference of 1.08% reaching a score of 79.52%. Further, iteration I gave 171 whilst iteration II gave 173 correct predictions out of the total 218 test data.

Use of machine learning (ML) and data mining (DM) algorithms has surfaced more often in the recent years for disease risk prediction problems in the healthcare communities. Several traditional feature selection models are combined with the DM and ML algorithms to improve accuracy of the disease risk prediction. In this study, a new Bio-inspired Ensemble Feature Selection (BEFS) model is introduced which is applied with the DM and ML algorithms. In the BEFS model, the most relevant and highly contributing features in the prediction are determined with a bio-inspired algorithm i.e., genetic algorithm, and an ensemble algorithm i.e., random forest algorithm. These important features obtained from the proposed model are then combined in various combinations and applied with the DM and ML algorithms, here logistic regression (LR) and random forest (RF), and the results obtained are promising. The experiment is executed using the famous ML language R. To accomplish this objective, the Breast Cancer Wisconsin (Diagnostic) dataset of UCI (University of California, Irvine) ML repository is utilized. In the experimental outcomes, the highest accuracy attained with the BEFS model is 96.49%, the AUC (Area Under Curve) achieved is 96%, and the sensitivity is 98.11%. These results, which greatly improve the disease risk prediction, are higher than several other existing works, while utilizing only six most relevant features out of the thirty two features of the dataset.

For the past few years, it has been seen that the computer intrusion attacks are becoming more sophisticated, and the volume, velocity, and variance of traffic data have greatly increased. Because the conventional methods and tools have become impotent in the detection of intrusion attacks, most intrusion detection systems now embrace the use of machine learning tools and algorithms for efficiency. This is because of their ability to process large volume, velocity, and very high variance data. This work reviews and analyzes the performance of three out of the most commonly used machine learning algorithms in network intrusion. In this work, the performance of Naive Bayes, decision tree, and random forest algorithms were evaluated as they were being trained and tested with the KDD CUP 1999 dataset from DARPA using a big data and machine learning tool called Weka. These classification algorithms are evaluated based on their precision, sensitivity, and accuracy.

This study aims to assess the performance of machine learning (ML) techniques in optimising nurse staffing and evaluating the appropriateness of nursing care delivery models in hospital wards. The primary outcome measures include the adequacy of nurse staffing and the appropriateness of the nursing care delivery system. Historical and current healthcare challenges, such as nurse shortages and increasing patient acuity, necessitate innovative approaches to nursing care delivery. For instance, the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for flexible and scalable staffing models to manage surges in patient volume and acuity. A descriptive study was conducted in 39 inpatient wards across a university hospital and three state hospitals, involving 117 ward-level observations. Data were collected using the Rush Medicus Patient Classification Scale and analysed using k-Nearest Neighbour, Support Vector Machine, Random Forest, and Logistic Regression algorithms. Effectiveness was measured by the accuracy of machine learning predictions regarding nurse staffing adequacy, while suitability was determined by the congruence between observed nursing care models and patient needs.

Background: Insulin resistance is a common etiology of metabolic syndrome, but receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis shows a weak association in Koreans. Using a machine learning (ML) approach, we aimed to generate the best model for predicting insulin resistance in Korean adults aged > 40 of the Ansan/Ansung cohort using a machine learning (ML) approach. Methods: The demographic, anthropometric, biochemical, genetic, nutrient, and lifestyle variables of 8842 participants were included. The polygenetic risk scores (PRS) generated by a genome-wide association study were added to represent the genetic impact of insulin resistance. They were divided randomly into the training (n = 7037) and test (n = 1769) sets. Potentially important features were selected in the highest area under the curve (AUC) of the ROC curve from 99 features using seven different ML algorithms. The AUC target was ≥0.85 for the best prediction of insulin resistance with the lowest number of features. Results: The cutoff of insulin resistance defined with HOMA-IR was 2.31 using logistic regression before conducting ML. XGBoost and logistic regression algorithms generated the highest AUC (0.86) of the prediction models using 99 features, while the random forest algorithm generated a model with 0.82 AUC. These models showed high accuracy and k-fold values (>0.85). The prediction model containing 15 features had the highest AUC of the ROC curve in XGBoost and random forest algorithms. PRS was one of 15 features. The final prediction models for insulin resistance were generated with the same nine features in the XGBoost (AUC = 0.86), random forest (AUC = 0.84), and artificial neural network (AUC = 0.86) algorithms. The model included the fasting serum glucose, ALT, total bilirubin, HDL concentrations, waist circumference, body fat, pulse, season to enroll in the study, and gender. Conclusion: The liver function, regular pulse checking, and seasonal variation in addition to metabolic syndrome components should be considered to predict insulin resistance in Koreans aged over 40 years.

Evapotranspiration (ET) is a vital variable for land‐atmosphere interactions that links surface energy balance, water, and carbon cycles. The in situ techniques can measure ET accurately but the observations have limited spatial and temporal coverage. Modeling approaches have been used to estimate ET at broad spatial and temporal scales, while accurately simulating ET at regional scales remains a major challenge. In this study, we upscale ET from eddy covariance flux tower sites to the regional scale with machine learning algorithms. Five machine learning algorithms are employed for ET upscaling including artificial neural network, Cubist, deep belief network, random forest, and support vector machine. The machine learning methods are trained and tested at 36 flux towers sites (65 site years) across the Heihe River Basin and are then applied to estimate ET for each grid cell (1 km × 1 km) within the watershed and for each day over the period 2012–2016. The artificial neural network, Cubist, random forest, and support vector machine algorithms have almost identical performance in estimating ET and have slightly lower root‐mean‐square error than deep belief network at the site scale. The random forest algorithm has slightly lower relative uncertainty at the regional scale than other methods based on three‐cornered hat method. Additionally, the machine learning methods perform better over densely vegetated conditions than barren land or sparsely vegetated conditions. The regional ET generated from the machine learning approaches captured the spatial and temporal patterns of ET at the regional scale.

With the continuous development of machine learning, industry and academia have released a lot of machine learning frameworks based on distributed computing platform, and have been widely used. However, the existing framework of machine learning is limited by the limitations of machine learning algorithm itself, such as the choice of parameters and the interference of noises, the high using threshold and so on. This paper introduces the research background of machine learning framework, and combined with the commonly used random forest algorithm in machine learning classification algorithm, puts forward the research objectives and content, proposes an improved adaptive random forest algorithm (referred to as ARF), and on the basis of ARF, designs and implements the machine learning framework.

In the SPRINT trial, 18% of patients with a tibial shaft fracture (TSF) treated with intramedullary nailing (IMN) had one or more unplanned subsequent surgical procedures. It is clinically relevant for surgeon and patient to anticipate unplanned secondary procedures, other than operations that can be readily expected such as reconstructive procedures for soft tissue defects. Therefore, the objective of this study was to develop a machine learning (ML) prediction model using the SPRINT data that can give individual patients and their care team an estimate of their particular probability of an unplanned second surgery. Patients from the SPRINT trial with unilateral TSFs were randomly divided into a training set (80%) and test set (20%). Five ML algorithms were trained in recognizing patterns associated with subsequent surgery in the training set based on a subset of variables identified by random forest algorithms. Performance of each ML algorithm was evaluated and compared based on (1) area under the ROC curve, (2) calibration slope and intercept, and (3) the Brier score. Total data set comprised 1198 patients, of whom 214 patients (18%) underwent subsequent surgery. Seven variables were used to train ML algorithms: (1) Gustilo-Anderson classification, (2) Tscherne classification, (3) fracture location, (4) fracture gap, (5) polytrauma, (6) injury mechanism, and (7) OTA/AO classification. The best-performing ML algorithm had an area under the ROC curve, calibration slope, calibration intercept, and the Brier score of 0.766, 0.954, -0.002, and 0.120 in the training set and 0.773, 0.922, 0, and 0.119 in the test set, respectively. An ML algorithm was developed to predict the probability of subsequent surgery after IMN for TSFs. This ML algorithm may assist surgeons to inform patients about the probability of subsequent surgery and might help to identify patients who need a different perioperative plan or a more intensive approach.

Accurate estimation of dew point temperature (T_dew) plays a very important role in the fields of water resource management, agricultural engineering, climatology and energy utilization. However, there are few studies on the applicability of local T_dew algorithms at regional scales. This study evaluated the performance of a new machine learning algorithm, i.e., gradient boosting on decision trees with categorical features support (CatBoost) to estimate daily T_dew using limited local and cross-station meteorological data. The random forests (RF) algorithm was also assessed for comparison. Daily meteorological data from 2016 to 2019, including maximum, minimum and average temperature (T_max, T_min and T_mean), maximum, minimum and average relative humidity (RH_max, RH_min and RH_mean), maximum, minimum and average global solar radiation (Rs_max, Rs_min and Rs_mean) from three weather stations in Hunan of China were used to evaluate the CatBoost and RF algorithms. The results showed that both algorithms achieved satisfactory estimation accuracy at the target stations (on average RMSE = 1.020°C, R²=0.969, MAE = 0.718°C and NRMSE = 0.087) in the absence of complete meteorological parameters (with only temperature data as input). The CatBoost algorithm (on average RMSE = 1.900°C and R²=0.835) was better than the RF algorithm (on average RMSE = 2.214°C and R²=0.828). The accuracy and stability of the CatBoost and RF algorithms were positively correlated with the number of input parameters, and the three-parameter algorithms achieved higher estimation accuracy than the two-parameter algorithms. The developed methodology is helpful to predict T_dew at regional scale.

Lameness is a serious disease that affects the health and welfare of dairy cattle whilst also causing yield and economic losses. The primary goal of this study is to determine if lameness can be detected early on in herd management using the Random Forest (RF) algorithm and the surface temperatures of the cows' hoof soles, as well as the digital colour parameters generated by processing these thermal camera images. Ages, hoof sole temperatures, and digital colour characteristics of 40 Simmental cattle were used as independent variables in this study, while lameness was evaluated by scoring and employed as a dependent variable after being updated as a binary variable. The parameters ntree= 100 and mtry= 3 were used to develop the RF algorithm for predicting lameness in animals. As a result, the RF algorithm correctly classified 19 of 22 healthy animals and incorrectly classified 3, while it correctly classified 15 of 18 unhealthy animals and incorrectly classified 3. The classification success of the RF algorithm was 85%, sensitivity, specificity and area under the ROC curve (AUC) were 0.864, 0.833, and 0.848±0.059, respectively, and it was successful in detecting lameness. Also, AUC, which is one of the RF algorithm's classification performances, was found to be statistically significant (P<0.05). As a direct consequence it can be stated that the RF algorithm is a suitable classifier in terms of the use of animal hoof sole temperatures and digital colour parameters obtained through image processing in the detection of lameness in herd management.
