    The Internet of things is a great source of knowledge. Its strength is based on the use of sensors that can provide information in real time on multitude of variables in any part of the world connected to an internet connection. At the same time, social networks increasingly encourage users to create comments on points of interest they visit or could visit, giving valuable feedback for other users or even for recommender systems that could use that information to anticipate user tastes in the future. In this work, we present an overview of a novel recommendation system to generate recommendations for users based on both the information gathered from sensors and the opinions explicitly indicated by users about places or recommendations previously made by the system

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    It gives me pleasure to present the editorial preface of the International Journal of Machine Learning and Networked Collaborative Engineering (IJMLNCE) Volume 04 No 02 (2020).  This issue comprises five manuscripts contributed by authors.   The first paper of this issue titles, "Edge detection of Friction Stir Welded Joints by using Fourier Transformation," is contributed by Akshansh Mishra et. Al. In the manuscript, the authors have implemented two machine learning-based image processing techniques.  They stated that visual inspection had played a vital role in the beginning era of science. Nowadays, image processing is finding application for defects analysis of the manufactured parts in many industrial processes. We have implemented two machine learning-based image processing techniques in recent work, i.e., Fourier Transformation operator and Laplacian operator for the surface defects detection in Friction Stir Welded joints. In conclusion, The quality of the weld surface in the Friction Stir Welding process depends on the input parameters such as Tool Rotational Speed (rpm), Tool Traverse Speed (mm/min), and an Axial Force (kN).   The second paper, titled "Utilize Machine Learning Methods to Detect Plaintext Passwords," is authored by Nada Alnoaimi et. Al.  In this article, information security explores, where the author states that every company is a target today, no matter its type. Hackers and cybercriminals are after data which they can monetize in many ways. Being proactive and have a defensive and protective plan in place, such as evaluating and assessing IT security, is an excellent recipe for avoiding data breaches and, consequently, business disasters.  Why not utilizing a machine learning platform could be trained to search text in a computer resource, detect a string of plaintext characters, and analyze the string of characters to predict or detect a plaintext password on a computer resource asset. The machine will be able to catch a plaintext password in a character string by analyzing plaintext character strings for typical password complexity, such as, for example, including at least one uppercase letter, lowercase letter, number, unique character, and text length (for example, minimum of eight characters).  It will also predict a level of certainty that a character string includes a password and output a confidence score based on the expected level of certainty. Finally, it will categorize the confidence score in any number of prediction certainty levels, including, for example, three groups – high, medium, or low.    S Nagaprasad et al. contributed  the third article for  this   issue titled "Heart Disease Prediction Propagation approach."  Data mining methods are used to test complex data, and regression processing based on input data sets is used to estimate results. A variety of prediction analysis methods have been implemented in recent years. The clustering method k-means and SVM ( support vector machine) are a statistical, computational technique for clustering and defining primary data to detect cardiac disorders.  In this study, the Back Propagation Method is used in tandem with the k-means clustering algorithm to cluster knowledge for improved prediction research performance. The implemented algorithm\u27s output is found in the cardiac disorder data sample collected from the UCI depositor. Within this sample, there are 66 attributes.Nonetheless, a subgroup of 14 qualities is needed for every study. The Cleveland platform is utilized in particular for machine-learning investigators. The research designed correlates with the current techniques, precision, error identification, and deployment time (using the numerical mean).     The Fourth article, title "Discovering Trending Topics from the Tweets By Odia News Media During Covid-19," was contributed by    Swarupananda Bissoyi et. Al. This paper explores the Covid-19 pandemic\u27s onset, and the lockdown imposed because it has significantly fueled news consumption. News portals, including the ones in Odia language, are actively feeding news related to Covid-19 to their consumers via their websites and Twitter handles. The news items didn\u27t restrict to Covid-19 alone; they also touched various domains of life like education, healthcare, administration, politics, movies, etc. Discovery of the news trends provides a bird\u27s eye view of the issues and topics popular in the online community. This could be of interest to advertisers, marketers, researchers, sociologists, and policymakers. This paper applies Topic Modeling to discover the trends from the tweets made by the Odia news media from 20th March 2020 to 31st August 2020, the period which saw the emergence of both lockdowns and unlocks in India. We found that during this period, the Odia news media didn\u27t restrict themselves to report news surrounding Covid-19; rather they reported other happenings as well.   In the fifth and last article of this issue, titled "Designing Hand-Held Vibration Measuring Device for Industrial Machines," is contributed by Thi Dieu Linh Nguyen et al.,  In this manuscript, the authors discuss that Evaluating the quality of industrial machines, the vibration meter is used to measure the actual vibration of the machine. The two most important parameters describing machine vibration, amplitude, and frequency, are the basis for determining the cause of vibrations. Spectral analysis of the vibration signal will give information about the vibration level and choose which part of the machine the vibration signal is caused. This paper presents the manufacturing of vibration measuring devices with simple structure, compact size, and high accuracy at a reasonable price. The spectral analysis method of vibrating signals and real-time spectrum display of the measured vibration signals   I am sure that these five papers included in the International Journal of Machine Learning and Networked Collaborative Engineering  (IJMLNCE) Volume 04 No 02 (2020) will be useful to the research community.  At this end, I am thankful to the Editorial board member for their timely support in the review.

    It gives me pleasure to present the editorial preface of the International Journal of Machine Learning and Networked Collaborative Engineering (IJMLNCE) Volume 04 No 01 (2020).  This issue comprises five manuscripts contributed by authors.   The first paper contributed by Ramachandran A et al. titles, "Efficient Distributed Web Crawler Using Hefty and Enhanced Bandwidth Algorithms for Drug Website Search,"    In this paper, a novel Hefty Algorithm and enhanced bandwidth algorithm are combined for a better-distributed crawling system. The hefty algorithm was implemented to provide efficient and robust surfing results while applying on the drug web search. Refabricate a proficient search structure is very important due to the current scale of the web. Search engines mine information from the web, and a web crawler program that surfs the web in an efficient manner. A distributed crawler belongs to a variant of a web crawler, uses a dispersed computation method. In this paper, we design and implement the concept of Efficient Distributed Web Crawler using enhanced bandwidth and hefty algorithms. Mostly Web Crawler does not have any distributed cluster performance system and any implemented algorithm. We also implemented an Enhanced Bandwidth algorithm to improve the efficiency of the proposed crawler.   The second paper, titled "Revealing Brain Tumor Using Cross-Validated NGBoost Classifier," is authored by Shawni Dutta and Samir Bandyopadhyay.  In this article, the author writes that the brain is the most complicated and delicate anatomical human body structure. Statistics prove that, among various brain ailments, brain tumors are most fatal, and in many cases, they become carcinogenic. Brain tumors are characterized by abnormal and uncontrolled growth of brain cells. It takes up space within the cranial cavity and varies in shape, size, position, and characteristics viz. It can be benign or malignant, which makes the detection of brain tumors very critical and challenging. A neurologist or neurosurgeons vital information needs to have is the precise size and location of cancer in the brain and whether it is causing any swelling or compression of the brain that may need urgent attention. This paper exploits ensemble strategy-based Machine Learning (ML) algorithms for revealing brain tumors. NGBoost algorithm and 5-fold stratified cross-validation scheme are proposed as classifier models that automatically detect patients with brain tumors. The proposed method is implemented with necessary fine-tuning parameters compared against ensemble-based baseline classifiers such as AdaBoost, Gradient Boost, Random Forest, and Extra Trees Classifier. An experimental study implies that the proposed method outperforms baseline models with significantly improved efficiency. The interfering features that impact brain tumor classification are ranked, and this ranking is retrieved from the best classifier model.   Abdulmohsen Alotaibi contributed the third article for this issue titled "Transfer Learning for Detecting Covid-19 Cases Using Chest X-Ray Images".  In this interesting work, he is discussing the COVID-19 pandemic, which is a global health crisis that has already infected more than 3.5 million people and caused more than 250 thousand deaths around the globe. He focused on developing a more efficient way to detect and treat this illness. This paper utilizes transfer learning techniques to detect normal, COVID-19, and viral pneumonia cases from Chest X-Ray images. Four pre-trained models on ImageNet were chosen as the base model, which are ResNet50, VGG19, DenseNet121, and InceptionV3. The performance metrics of each fine-tuned model are overall similar. With an average recall, precision, f1-score, and accuracy of 97.42%, 97.42%, 97.23%, 98.3% respectively.   The Fourth article, title " The Economic Impact of Social Media Fraud and it\u27s Remedies," was contributed by shakik mahmud et al. This paper presents the economic impact of social media fraud in Bangladesh and its IT-based prevention model. Online privacy and security problems become a big concern online day by day—many types of issues growing up here, for example, phishing, hacking, sabotage, etc. Social media is a popular and powerful tool to express personal life and also business purposes in Bangladesh. Social communicating websites such as Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, and LinkedIn are popular social sites. Facebook is the most popular one. Through these media, people communicate with their friends and family and share thoughts, photos, videos, and lots of data. Many types of business and commerce have developed on social media. Presently, people depend on it, so it\u27s marketing value increases day by day well. Some Tech fraud groups have been formed and wake up to hack money in some tricky way in this big virtual society. At present, social media is one of the critical areas for fraudsters. This paper will show based on our study how much money is being spent through it and others by the IT-based prevention model of this problem.    The fifth article of this issue, titled " The Performance Enhancement Systems of Human Iris Pattern and Recognition Method through Digital Authentication Application," is contributed by Krishnaveni N et al. Authors discusses that human iris and recognition patterns have been recognized as the best biometric marking ever found. The iris and the textured iris patterns\u27 uniqueness tend to remain natural, unchangeable, and recognizable through existence. Mathematical analyses of the unique stable patterns formed within the iris include Iris detection methods, and a comparative analysis is carried out utilizing an established database. In this document, a clean electoral system is created to build a fraud-free ID list of electors. To find the Iris and Eyes, the algorithm of canny edge detection is used, Dougman\u27s normalization procedure is used, object filters are added, and the corresponding process is finally conducted for the Euclidian set. Biometric authentication confirms our identification by being a simple and increasingly secure method. They implemented a weighted, majority voting process for all biometric authentication systems utilizing a bitwise contrast between inscription and biometric models to resolve this problem and enable Iris identification in less than ideal images. We also observed that the approach outdoes the current majority and efficient bit sorting strategies through a set of tests with the database CASIA iris.  Our process is an easy and efficient way to boost the accuracy of established iris detection systems.   I am sure that these five papers included in the International Journal of Machine Learning and Networked Collaborative Engineering  (IJMLNCE) Volume 04 No 01 (2020) will be useful to the readers and researchers.  At this end, I am thankful to the Editorial board member for their timely support in the review. I am looking forward to receiving your unpublished research work for Volume 04 No 04 (2020)

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Get PDF
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
