Machine Learning for Fluid Mechanics
The field of fluid mechanics is rapidly advancing, driven by unprecedented
volumes of data from field measurements, experiments and large-scale
simulations at multiple spatiotemporal scales. Machine learning offers a wealth
of techniques to extract information from data that could be translated into
knowledge about the underlying fluid mechanics. Moreover, machine learning
algorithms can augment domain knowledge and automate tasks related to flow
control and optimization. This article presents an overview of past history,
current developments, and emerging opportunities of machine learning for fluid
mechanics. It outlines fundamental machine learning methodologies and discusses
their uses for understanding, modeling, optimizing, and controlling fluid
flows. The strengths and limitations of these methods are addressed from the
perspective of scientific inquiry that considers data as an inherent part of
modeling, experimentation, and simulation. Machine learning provides a powerful
information processing framework that can enrich, and possibly even transform,
current lines of fluid mechanics research and industrial applications.Comment: To appear in the Annual Reviews of Fluid Mechanics, 202
Machine Learning and Integrative Analysis of Biomedical Big Data.
Recent developments in high-throughput technologies have accelerated the accumulation of massive amounts of omics data from multiple sources: genome, epigenome, transcriptome, proteome, metabolome, etc. Traditionally, data from each source (e.g., genome) is analyzed in isolation using statistical and machine learning (ML) methods. Integrative analysis of multi-omics and clinical data is key to new biomedical discoveries and advancements in precision medicine. However, data integration poses new computational challenges as well as exacerbates the ones associated with single-omics studies. Specialized computational approaches are required to effectively and efficiently perform integrative analysis of biomedical data acquired from diverse modalities. In this review, we discuss state-of-the-art ML-based approaches for tackling five specific computational challenges associated with integrative analysis: curse of dimensionality, data heterogeneity, missing data, class imbalance and scalability issues

A comparison of fuzzy approaches to e-commerce review rating prediction
This paper presents a comparative analysis of the performance of fuzzy approaches on the task of predicting customer review ratings using a computational intelligence framework based on a genetic algorithm for data dimensionality reduction. The performance of the Fuzzy C-Means (FCM), a neurofuzzy approach combining FCM and the Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), and the Simplified Fuzzy ARTMAP (SFAM) was compared on six datasets containing customer reviews. The results revealed that all computational intelligence predictors were suitable for the rating prediction problem, and that the genetic algorithm is effective in reducing the number of dimensions without affecting the prediction performance of each computational intelligence predictor
Inferring a Transcriptional Regulatory Network from Gene Expression Data Using Nonlinear Manifold Embedding
Transcriptional networks consist of multiple regulatory layers corresponding to the activity of global regulators, specialized repressors and activators of transcription as well as proteins and enzymes shaping the DNA template. Such intrinsic multi-dimensionality makes uncovering connectivity patterns difficult and unreliable and it calls for adoption of methodologies commensurate with the underlying organization of the data source. Here we present a new computational method that predicts interactions between transcription factors and target genes using a compendium of microarray gene expression data and the knowledge of known interactions between genes and transcription factors. The proposed method called Kernel Embedding of REgulatory Networks (KEREN) is based on the concept of gene-regulon association and it captures hidden geometric patterns of the network via manifold embedding. We applied KEREN to reconstruct gene regulatory interactions in the model bacteria E.coli on a genome-wide scale. Our method not only yields accurate prediction of verifiable interactions, which outperforms on certain metrics comparable methodologies, but also demonstrates the utility of a geometric approach to the analysis of high-dimensional biological data. We also describe the general application of kernel embedding techniques to some other function and network discovery algorithms
