An Exploration into Human-Computer Interaction: Hand Gesture Recognition Management in a Challenging Environment.

Scientists are developing hand gesture recognition systems to improve authentic, efficient, and effortless human-computer interactions without additional gadgets, particularly for the speech-impaired community, which relies on hand gestures as their only mode of communication. Unfortunately, the speech-impaired community has been underrepresented in the majority of human-computer interaction research, such as natural language processing and other automation fields, which makes it more difficult for them to interact with systems and people through these advanced systems. This system's algorithm is in two phases. The first step is the Region of Interest Segmentation, based on the color space segmentation technique, with a pre-set color range that will remove pixels (hand) of the region of interest from the background (pixels not in the desired area of interest). The system's second phase is inputting the segmented images into a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model for image categorization. For image training, we utilized the Python Keras package. The system proved the need for image segmentation in hand gesture recognition. The performance of the optimal model is 58 percent which is about 10 percent higher than the accuracy obtained without image segmentation.

Pima Indians diabetes mellitus classification based on machine learning (ML) algorithms.

This paper proposes an e-diagnosis system based on machine learning (ML) algorithms to be implemented on the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) environment, particularly for diagnosing diabetes mellitus (type 2 diabetes). However, the ML applications tend to be mistrusted because of their inability to show the internal decision-making process, resulting in slow uptake by end-users within certain healthcare sectors. This research delineates the use of three interpretable supervised ML models: Naïve Bayes classifier, random forest classifier, and J48 decision tree models to be trained and tested using the Pima Indians diabetes dataset in R programming language. The performance of each algorithm is analyzed to determine the one with the best accuracy, precision, sensitivity, and specificity. An assessment of the decision process is also made to improve the model. It can be concluded that a Naïve Bayes model works well with a more fine-tuned selection of features for binary classification, while random forest works better with more features.

Big Data Applications in Guangzhou Restaurants Analysis.

With the development of modern information and communication technologies, such as the internet of things and big data analytics, businesses and users have become more adaptable to rapid changes. Both consumers and merchants have obtained great convenience. Meanwhile, a huge amount of data is generated. However, many businesses lack the ability to process these data, which contain critical business values. Therefore, this article uses data from the Dianping website to show how to use big data analytics techniques to exploit the valuable information from these raw data. First, descriptive analysis is conducted by using kernel density estimation. Then, multilinear regression analysis, Naive Bayes, and J48 are used to predict the level of restaurants. We found that flavor, environment, and service score are essential factors to the restaurant level. Moreover, J48 performs best among the three models with an accuracy of 88.89%.
