Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence that employs a variety of statistical, probabilistic and optimization techniques that allows computers to “learn” from past examples and to detect hard-to-discern patterns from large, noisy or complex data sets. This capability is particularly well-suited to…

'Keun Ho Ryu' 'Nipon Theera-Umpon'] Heart disease, caused by low heart rate, is one of the most significant causes of mortality in the world today. Therefore, it is critical to monitor heart health by identifying the deviation in the heart rate very early, which makes it easier to detect and manage the heart’s function…

'Amaryllis Mavragani'] Title: Abstract Recent applications of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in medicine, psychology, and social sciences have led to common terminological confusions. In this paper, we review emerging evidence from systematic reviews documenting widespread misuse of key terms…

Predicting learning achievement is a crucial strategy to address high dropout rates. However, existing prediction models often exhibit biases, limiting their accuracy. Moreover, the lack of interpretability in current machine learning methods restricts their practical application in education. To overcome these…

Generating predictions for task-relevant goals is a fundamental requirement of human information processing, as it ensures adaptive success in our complex natural environment. Clark ([4]) proposed a model of hierarchical predictive processing, in which perception, attention, and learning are unified within a coherent…

'Sarah Pachman' 'Timothy J. Nelson' 'Vicki Yang' 'Kathryn Edin' 'Matthew J. Salganik'] Title: Significance Scientists and decision-makers routinely make life outcome predictions: they use information from the past to predict what will happen to someone in the future. These predictions, whether made by human experts or…

'Jeroen Van Schependom' 'Diana Maria Sima' 'Guy Nagels' 'Cristina M. Ramo-Tello'] Multiple sclerosis (MS) manifests heterogeneously among persons suffering from it, making its disease course highly challenging to predict. At present, prognosis mostly relies on biomarkers that are unable to predict disease course on an…

Machine learning is increasingly being used to predict clinical outcomes. Most comparisons of different methods have been based on empirical analyses in specific datasets. We used Monte Carlo simulations to determine when machine learning methods perform better than statistical learning methods in a specific setting.…

Background Student dropout rates are one of the major concerns of educational institutions because they affect the success and efficacy of them. In order to help students continue their learning and achieve a better future, there is a need to identify the risk of student dropout. However, it is challenging to…
