Abstract

Purpose

Since December 2019, global attention has been drawn to the rapid spread of COVID-19. Corona was discovered in India on 30 January 2020. To date, in India, 178,014 disease cases were reported with 14,011 deaths by the Indian Government. In the meantime, with an increasing spread speed, the COVID-19 epidemic occurred in other countries. The survival rate for COVID-19 patients who suffer from a critical illness is efficiently and precisely predicted as more fatal cases can be affected in advanced cases. However, over 400 laboratories and clinically relevant survival rates of all present critically ill COVID-19 patients are estimated manually. The manual diagnosis inevitably results in high misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis owing to a lack of experience and prior knowledge. The chapter presents an option for developing a machine-based prognostic model that exactly predicts the survival of individual severe patients with clinical data from different sources such as Kaggle data.gov and World Health Organization with greater than 95% accuracy. The data set and attributes are shown in detail. The reasonableness of such a mere three elements may depend, respectively, on their representativeness in the indices of tissue injury, immunity and inflammation. The purpose of this paper is to provide detailed study from the diagnostic aspect of COVID-19, the work updates the cost-effective and prompt criticality classification and prediction of survival before the targeted intervention and diagnosis, in particular the triage of the vast COVID-19 explosive epidemic.

Design/methodology/approach

Automated machine learning (ML) provides resources and platforms to render ML available to non-ML experts, to boost efficiency in ML and to accelerate research in machine learning. H2O AutoML is used to generate the results (Dulhare et al., 2020). ML has achieved major milestones in recent years, and it is on which an increasing range of disciplines depend. But this performance is crucially dependent on specialists in human ML to perform the following tasks: preprocess the info and clean it; choose and create the appropriate apps; choose a family that fits the pattern; optimize hyperparameters for layout; and models of computer learning post processes. Review of the findings collected is important.

Findings

These days, the concept of automated ML techniques is being used in every field and domain, for example, in the stock market, education institutions, medical field, etc. ML tools play an important role in harnessing the massive amount of data. In this paper, the data set relatively holds a huge amount of data, and appropriate analysis and prediction are necessary to track as the numbers of COVID cases are increasing day by day. This prediction of COVID-19 will be able to track the cases particularly in India and might help researchers in the future to develop vaccines. Researchers across the world are testing different medications to cure COVID; however, it is still being tested in various labs. This paper highlights and deploys the concept of AutoML to analyze the data and to find the best algorithm to predict the disease. Appropriate tables, figures and explanations are provided.

Originality/value

As the difficulty of such activities frequently goes beyond non-ML-experts, the exponential growth of ML implementations has generated a market for off-the-shelf ML solutions that can be used quickly and without experience. We name the resulting work field which is oriented toward the radical automation of AutoML machine learning. The third class is that of the individuals who have illnesses such as diabetes, high BP, asthma, malignant growth, cardiovascular sickness and so forth. As their safe frameworks have been undermined effectively because of a common ailment, these individuals become obvious objectives. Diseases experienced by the third classification of individuals can be lethal (Shinde et al., 2020). Examining information is fundamental in having the option to comprehend the spread and treatment adequacy. The world needs a lot more individuals investigating the information. The understanding from worldwide data on the spread of the infection and its conduct will be key in limiting the harm. The main contributions of this study are as follows: predicting COVID-19 pandemic in India using AutoML; analyzing the data set predicting the patterns of the virus; and comparative analysis of predictive algorithms. The organization of the paper is as follows, Sections I and II describe the introduction and the related work in the field of analyzing the COVID pandemic. Section III describes the workflow/framework for AutoML using the components with respect to the data set used to analyze the patterns of COVID-19 patients.

Abstract

Purpose

For the first time in a decade, a new form of pneumonia virus, coronavirus, COVID-19, appeared in Wuhan, China. To date, it has affected millions of people, killed thousands and resulted in thousands of deaths around the world. To stop the spread of this virus, isolate the infected people. Computed tomography (CT) imaging is very accurate in revealing the details of the lungs and allows oncologists to detect COVID. However, the analysis of CT scans, which can include hundreds of images, may cause delays in hospitals. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in radiology could help to COVID-19-positive cancer in this manner is the main purpose of the work.

Design/methodology/approach

CT scans are a medical imaging procedure that gives a three-dimensional (3D) representation of the lungs for clinical purposes. The volumetric 3D data sets can be regarded as axial, coronal and transverse data sets. By using AI, we can diagnose the virus presence.

Abstract

Purpose

This work aims to develop a novel fuzzy associator rule-based fuzzified deep convolutional neural network (FDCNN) architecture for the classification of smartphone sensor-based human activity recognition. This work mainly focuses on fusing the λmax method for weight initialization, as a data normalization technique, to achieve high accuracy of classification.

Design/methodology/approach

The major contributions of this work are modeled as FDCNN architecture, which is initially fused with a fuzzy logic based data aggregator. This work significantly focuses on normalizing the University of California, Irvine data set’s statistical parameters before feeding that to convolutional neural network layers. This FDCNN model with λmax method is instrumental in ensuring the faster convergence with improved performance accuracy in sensor based human activity recognition. Impact analysis is carried out to validate the appropriateness of the results with hyper-parameter tuning on the proposed FDCNN model with λmax method.

Findings

The effectiveness of the proposed FDCNN model with λmax method was outperformed than state-of-the-art models and attained with overall accuracy of 97.89% with overall F1 score as 0.9795.

Practical implications

The proposed fuzzy associate rule layer (FAL) layer is responsible for feature association based on fuzzy rules and regulates the uncertainty in the sensor data because of signal inferences and noises. Also, the normalized data is subjectively grouped based on the FAL kernel structure weights assigned with the λmax method.

Social implications

Contributed a novel FDCNN architecture that can support those who are keen in advancing human activity recognition (HAR) recognition.

Originality/value

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to examine how gamification components affect training outcomes through intrinsic or extrinsic motivation (IM and EM), drawing on the self-determination motivation theory.

Design/methodology/approach

In this study, survey method has been used to analyse the hypotheses and objective of the research. A total of 260 surveys were received through the web-based stage and 260 surveys were legitimate. The data in this study was investigated using SPSS version 20.0 and Smart-PLS version 3.0 software.

Findings

The findings represent how IM intervenes in gamification parts of training outcomes. Apart from the indirect effect, this study also shows the immediate effect of experience point and progress bar affecting IM and EM. This study shows that the immediate effect of IM has a positive impact on training outcomes, however there is an adverse consequence in the event of EM on training outcomes as well as there is no intervening or mediating impact.

Originality/value

In this study, the authors offer novel research that might aid businesses in identifying the most important aspects of gamification for the relevant personnel. There is a substantial correlation between gamification and employee engagement that was previously focused on. With particular emphasis on the progress bar and experience point, the authors have demonstrated a connection between IM and EM through the use of gamification elements, paving the way for businesses to place a greater emphasis on intrinsic drive-in gamification systems intended to enhance employee training.

Abstract

The concept of inclusive education has been largely debated and developed within a western context and its application within other cultural situations can be challenging. This chapter considers how the interpretation of inclusion within India is influenced by traditional values from within that society which may challenge some of the more conventional ideas within this area. In particular, consideration is given to the ways in which teachers and policy makers define those conditions that might support inclusive schooling and evaluate the ways in which schools are responding to change.
