Machine learning for Internet of Things data analysis: A survey
Rapid developments in hardware, software, and communication technologies have
allowed the emergence of Internet-connected sensory devices that provide
observation and data measurement from the physical world. By 2020, it is
estimated that the total number of Internet-connected devices being used will
be between 25 and 50 billion. As the numbers grow and technologies become more
mature, the volume of data published will increase. Internet-connected devices
technology, referred to as Internet of Things (IoT), continues to extend the
current Internet by providing connectivity and interaction between the physical
and cyber worlds. In addition to increased volume, the IoT generates Big Data
characterized by velocity in terms of time and location dependency, with a
variety of multiple modalities and varying data quality. Intelligent processing
and analysis of this Big Data is the key to developing smart IoT applications.
This article assesses the different machine learning methods that deal with the
challenges in IoT data by considering smart cities as the main use case. The
key contribution of this study is presentation of a taxonomy of machine
learning algorithms explaining how different techniques are applied to the data
in order to extract higher level information. The potential and challenges of
machine learning for IoT data analytics will also be discussed. A use case of
applying Support Vector Machine (SVM) on Aarhus Smart City traffic data is
presented for a more detailed exploration.Comment: Digital Communications and Networks (2017
Conversational Ontology Alignment with ChatGPT
This study evaluates the applicability and efficiency of ChatGPT for ontology
alignment using a naive approach. ChatGPT's output is compared to the results
of the Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative 2022 campaign using conference
track ontologies. This comparison is intended to provide insights into the
capabilities of a conversational large language model when used in a naive way
for ontology matching, and to investigate the potential advantages and
disadvantages of this approach
Multimodal Mental Health Analysis in Social Media
This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited. Depression is a major public health concern in the U.S. and globally. While successful early identification and treatment can lead to many positive health and behavioral outcomes, depression, remains undiagnosed, untreated or undertreated due to several reasons, including denial of the illness as well as cultural and social stigma. With the ubiquity of social media platforms, millions of people are now sharing their online persona by expressing their thoughts, moods, emotions, and even their daily struggles with mental health on social media. Unlike traditional observational cohort studies conducted through questionnaires and self-reported surveys, we explore the reliable detection of depressive symptoms from tweets obtained, unobtrusively. Particularly, we examine and exploit multimodal big (social) data to discern depressive behaviors using a wide variety of features including individual-level demographics. By developing a multimodal framework and employing statistical techniques to fuse heterogeneous sets of features obtained through the processing of visual, textual, and user interaction data, we significantly enhance the current state-of-the-art approaches for identifying depressed individuals on Twitter (improving the average F1-Score by 5 percent) as well as facilitate demographic inferences from social media. Besides providing insights into the relationship between demographics and mental health, our research assists in the design of a new breed of demographic-aware health interventions
