    No full text
    This study delves into the application of machine learning algorithms to predict urban crime, focusing on the dynamic and complex landscape of Los Angeles. Utilising a comprehensive dataset, the research explores the efficacy of various models like LSTM, GRU, SimpleRNN, Prophet, and XGBoost in predicting crime locations and types. The study aims to transition urban safety strategies from reactive to proactive measures by accurately forecasting crime patterns. The models were evaluated based on RMSE, MAE, and R² scores, with the data split into 80:20 and 70:30 ratios for training and testing. Results indicated that while LSTM, GRU, and XGBoost demonstrated high accuracy in spatial predictions, all models faced challenges in accurately predicting crime types, reflecting the multifaceted nature of criminal behaviour. The study highlights the potential of machine learning in enhancing urban safety but also notes the ethical and practical challenges inherent in predictive policing. It underscores the need for further research, especially in improving crime-type predictions and addressing the ethical implications of such predictive technologies. This research contributes significantly to the field of predictive urban crime analytics, offering insights and pathways for future innovations

    This Master’s thesis focuses on the need for a conversational bot for guiding a layman in the application of essential oils as a medicine in the healthcare domain. Observing the benefits of Ayurveda, people nowadays are increasingly using essential oils for treating their medical conditions and their body has been responding well to it compared to any allopathic treatment. But there is an issue which needs to be solved, for example, if a person wants more knowledge about essential oils and starts searching on the web then she/he finds a lot of non-essential and scattered information. This dissertation here aims at the usage of essential oils for medicinal purposes. According to the questions asked by the user, the artifact provides information on essential oils and suggests the use of it. With the help of NLP, chatbot delivers the users’ application of essential oils and also suggests solutions to their medical sufferings with these oils. The prototype has a safe and stress-reducing interface for the user to find information and is liked by 70% of the people. This prototype also increased the knowledge of 60% of the participants. Duckduckgo API and Tensorflow are used for the advancement of the chatbot

    Revamping restaurant billing system through react JS development

    The restaurant industry is always evolving, aiming to improve the dining experience. Beyond great food and service, smooth and efficient payment processes are crucial. This thesis focuses on restaurant billing systems, highlighting the need for modernization in our digital age. Traditionally, restaurants used manual billing, a slow and error-prone process. With complex menus and various orders, accurate billing was challenging. The solution is a tech upgrade, with this research endorsing the React JavaScript Framework. React, known for speed and user-friendliness, promises to revolutionize restaurant billing. The goal is to eliminate manual billing’s inefficiencies and embrace automation. Introducing React streamlines operations, reducing errors. Automation simplifies bill creation, ensuring precise invoices and custom billing systems using React’s modular approach. Ultimately, this journey aims to improve the customer experience by reducing wait times and billing disputes. This thesis blends real-world data and theoretical insights to explore React’s potential in restaurant billing, emphasizing the importance of technology in enhancing operational efficiency

    Worldwide opinion on climate change as measured via Twitter

    No full text
    The last Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2014 has concluded that the earth is warming and human influence is the main cause. This has not led to the meaningful action by nations around the world to address the impacts from the report. One would assume that with overwhelming scientific consensus supporting anthropogenic climate change, the time for debate would be over. Yet public opinion on the topic remains divided. Twitter provides access to publicly available data where people express their opinion on a wide variety of topics including climate change. This dissertation explores the differences in public opinion between geographic regions around the world, as expressed on twitter, with 10,006 tweets collected over five days in March, 2020. It further explores the theme of the tweets to understand the variation in topics being discussed under the climate change umbrella in the different geographies. In addition, this paper also examines a number of machine learning models using differing techniques to assess their respective performance in opinion classification. The trends seen point to where future research should focus to expand on the results found in this paper

    Anti-money laundering detection and customer segmentation

    No full text
    In this project we going to cover best practices of the anti-money laundering techniques and methods, such a customer segmentation based on suspicious behaviour and fraud detection machine learning algorithms. The goal of the project is to define what payment instrument used for the money laundering the most, so financial institution can reinforce their fraud detection process for this specific payment method and work closely with the bank provider. We going to implement and compare different machine learning classification and clustering algorithms and find out what method is more accurate and suits better for crime detection problem on the specific financial instrument

    Machine learning chatbot for education search purpose in Dublin

    No full text
    This dissertation is about an artificial intelligence chatbot which act as a virtual assistant for the students who are looking for education in Dublin. In real-world scenario a student register in a foreign education agency to pursue education in abroad. Many a time it was observed that the education counsellor could not give adequate amount of time in guiding the student either due to shortage of time or lack of knowledge. Consequently, it becomes a hurdle in admission process and for applying student visa. In order to remove this hurdle the dissertation contribute a conversational bot to assist students regarding education search and information related to any institutions or universities in Dublin. The conversational bot was been developed in Python programming language using machine learning algorithm and natural language processing. According to the participants in user evaluation test the voice feature in bot makes more interactive for communication

    The latest advancement in health sciences have prompted a need for creation of data, for example, health treatment information, produced in large volumes of health records. Machine learning techniques seems to be increasing every day, like never before, the motivation behind this work is to change all accessible data into significant data. Diabetes mellitus is a type of metabolic problem, creating an impact on human health around the world and the main cause for this is hereditary. Patients should know how much sugar content present in their meal and what provokes the sugar level. The motive of this thesis is to analyze the data and use machine learning to understand regarding 1) how spicy levels and natural sugars impacted sugar levels 2) how can a food impact sugar levels 3) Comparison of results with different classification algorithms. The best accuracy was obtained from SVM to classify the sugar level present in food
