Abstract Background Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in many countries. Physicians often diagnose cardiovascular based on current clinical tests and previous experience diagnosing patients with similar symptoms. Patients who suffer from heart require quick diagnosis, early treatment constant observations. To address their needs, data mining approaches have been used past predicting diseases. Previous research was also focused identifying significant contributing features...

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a well-known personality test that assigns type to user by using four traits dichotomies. For many years, people have used MBTI as an instrument develop self-awareness and guide their personal decisions. Previous researches good successes in predicting Extraversion-Introversion (E/I), Sensing-Intuition (S/N) Thinking-Feeling (T/F) dichotomies from textual data but struggled do so with Judging-Perceiving (J/P) dichotomy. J/P dichotomy non-separable...

Information and Communication Technologies fueled social networking facilitated communication. However, cyberbullying on the platform had detrimental ramifications. The user-dependent mechanisms like reporting, blocking, removing bullying posts online is manual ineffective. Bag-of-words text representation without metadata limited post classification. This research developed an automatic system for detection with two approaches: Conventional Machine Learning Transfer Learning. adopted AMiCA...

Online social networks (OSNs) portray a multi-layer of interactions through which users become friend, information is propagated, ideas are shared, and interaction constructed within an OSN. Identifying the most influential spreaders in network significant step towards improving use existing resources to speed up spread for application such as viral marketing or hindering like virus blocking rumor restraint. Users communications facilitated by OSNs could confront temporal spatial limitations...

The selection of a meta-learner determines the success stacked ensemble as is responsible for final predictions ensemble. Unfortunately, in imbalanced classification, selecting an appropriate and well-performing not straightforward different meta-learners are advocated by researchers. To investigate identify type experiment consisting 19 was conducted, detailed this paper. Among ensembles, new weighted combination-based that maximizes H-measure during training first introduced implemented...
