Book excerpt: In this comprehensive project titled "Company Bankruptcy Analysis and Prediction Using Machine Learning with Python GUI," we embarked on a journey to explore, analyze, and predict the bankruptcy status of companies. Our project began with an exploration of the dataset, which involved importing it using Pandas and refining it by removing leading spaces and replacing spaces with underscores in column names to ensure consistency. To grasp the dataset's characteristics, we delved into categorized features' distributions, allowing us to understand the underlying patterns within the data. This step helped us gain insights into the distribution of attributes across different classes, aiding in feature selection and engineering. Moving on to the heart of our project, the prediction of company bankruptcy, we employed various machine learning models. Utilizing grid search, we performed hyperparameter tuning to optimize model performance. Our model arsenal included Logistic Regression, K-Nearest Neighbors, Support Vector, Decision Trees, Random Forests, Gradient Boosting, AdaBoost, Extreme Gradient Boosting, Light Gradient Boosting, and Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), which were evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. Transitioning to deep learning, we implemented an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model. This involved constructing a feed-forward neural network with hidden layers, dropouts, and activation functions. We evaluated the ANN using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score, gaining a comprehensive understanding of its classification performance. Our journey into deep learning continued with the implementation of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, which are well-suited for sequence data. We structured the LSTM model with multiple layers and dropouts, evaluating its performance using metrics like accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. This marked a pivotal step in predicting company bankruptcy. Furthermore, we explored Feed-Forward Neural Networks (FNN) for prediction. Constructing a multi-layered architecture with varied dropouts and activation functions, we assessed its classification capabilities using metrics similar to previous models. Incorporating Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) added another dimension to our analysis. Building an RNN model with sequential data, we examined its accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score, highlighting its ability to capture sequential patterns in bankruptcy data. To comprehensively evaluate our models, we employed a range of metrics including precision, recall, F1-score, and accuracy. These metrics enabled us to gauge not only the overall model performance but also its capability to correctly predict bankrupt and non-bankrupt cases. Our project also extended into creating a Python GUI using PyQt. This graphical interface facilitated user interaction, allowing them to input data for prediction and view the outcomes through an intuitive interface. This GUI enhanced accessibility and usability, making it easier for users to engage with our models. In conclusion, our journey through the "Company Bankruptcy Analysis and Prediction Using Machine Learning with Python GUI" project encompassed data exploration, categorized features distribution analysis, model selection, performance evaluation using diverse metrics, and the creation of an interactive GUI. This endeavor combined analytical rigor, machine learning expertise, and user-centric design to provide a comprehensive solution for predicting company bankruptcy.

PROJECT 2: DETECTING CYBERBULLYING TWEETS USING MACHINE LEARNING AND DEEP LEARNING WITH PYTHON GUI As social media usage becomes increasingly prevalent in every age group, a vast majority of citizens rely on this essential medium for day-to-day communication. Social media’s ubiquity means that cyberbullying can effectively impact anyone at any time or anywhere, and the relative anonymity of the internet makes such personal attacks more difficult to stop than traditional bullying. On April 15th, 2020, UNICEF issued a warning in response to the increased risk of cyberbullying during the COVID-19 pandemic due to widespread school closures, increased screen time, and decreased face-to-face social interaction. The statistics of cyberbullying are outright alarming: 36.5% of middle and high school students have felt cyberbullied and 87% have observed cyberbullying, with effects ranging from decreased academic performance to depression to suicidal thoughts. In light of all of this, this dataset contains more than 47000 tweets labelled according to the class of cyberbullying: Age; Ethnicity; Gender; Religion; Other type of cyberbullying; and Not cyberbullying. The data has been balanced in order to contain ~8000 of each class. The models used in this project are K-Nearest Neighbor, Random Forest, Naive Bayes, Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, Support Vector Machine, Adaboost, LGBM classifier, Gradient Boosting, XGB classifier, LSTM, and CNN. Three feature scaling used in machine learning are raw, minmax scaler, and standard scaler.

Download or read book Efficient Learning Machines written by Mariette Awad and published by Apress. This book was released on 2015-04-27 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Machine learning techniques provide cost-effective alternatives to traditional methods for extracting underlying relationships between information and data and for predicting future events by processing existing information to train models. Efficient Learning Machines explores the major topics of machine learning, including knowledge discovery, classifications, genetic algorithms, neural networking, kernel methods, and biologically-inspired techniques. Mariette Awad and Rahul Khanna’s synthetic approach weaves together the theoretical exposition, design principles, and practical applications of efficient machine learning. Their experiential emphasis, expressed in their close analysis of sample algorithms throughout the book, aims to equip engineers, students of engineering, and system designers to design and create new and more efficient machine learning systems. Readers of Efficient Learning Machines will learn how to recognize and analyze the problems that machine learning technology can solve for them, how to implement and deploy standard solutions to sample problems, and how to design new systems and solutions. Advances in computing performance, storage, memory, unstructured information retrieval, and cloud computing have coevolved with a new generation of machine learning paradigms and big data analytics, which the authors present in the conceptual context of their traditional precursors. Awad and Khanna explore current developments in the deep learning techniques of deep neural networks, hierarchical temporal memory, and cortical algorithms. Nature suggests sophisticated learning techniques that deploy simple rules to generate highly intelligent and organized behaviors with adaptive, evolutionary, and distributed properties. The authors examine the most popular biologically-inspired algorithms, together with a sample application to distributed datacenter management. They also discuss machine learning techniques for addressing problems of multi-objective optimization in which solutions in real-world systems are constrained and evaluated based on how well they perform with respect to multiple objectives in aggregate. Two chapters on support vector machines and their extensions focus on recent improvements to the classification and regression techniques at the core of machine learning.

Download or read book Soft Computing and Machine Learning with Python written by Zoran Gacovski and published by Arcler Press. This book was released on 2018-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A definition states that the machine learning is a discipline that allows the computers to learn without explicit programming. The challenge in machine learning is how to accurately (algorithmic) describe some kinds of tasks that people can easily solve (for example face recognition, speech recognition etc.). Such algorithms can be defined for certain types of tasks, but they are very complex and/or require large knowledge base (e.g. machine translation MT). In many of the areas - data are continuously collected in order to get "some knowledge out of them" for example - in medicine (patient data and therapy), in marketing (the users / customers and what they buy, what are they interested in, how products are rated etc.). Data analysis of this scale requires approaches that will allow you to discover patterns and dependences among the data, that are neither known, nor obvious, but can be useful (data mining). Information retrieval - IR, is finding existing information as quickly as possible. For example, web browser - finds page within the (large) set of the entire WWW. Machine Learning - ML, is a set of techniques that generalize existing knowledge of the new information, as precisely as possible. An example is the speech recognition. Data mining - DM, primarily relates to the disclosure of something hidden within the data, some new dependence, which have not previously been known. Example is CRM - the customer analysis. Python is high-level programming language that is very suitable for web development, programming of games, and data manipulation / machine learning applications. It is object-oriented language and interpreter as well, allowing the source code to execute directly (without compiling). This edition covers machine learning theory and applications with Python, and includes chapters for soft computing theory, machine learning techniques/applications, Python language details, and machine learning examples with Python.

Compares Bayesian networks with other modelling techniques such as neural networks, fuzzy logic and fault trees. Describes, for ease of comparison, the main features of the major Bayesian network software packages: Netica, Hugin, Elvira and Discoverer, from the point of view of the user. Offers a historical perspective on the subject and analyses future directions for research. Written by leading experts with practical experience of applying Bayesian networks in finance, banking, medicine, robotics, civil engineering, geology, geography, genetics, forensic science, ecology, and industry, the book has much to offer both practitioners and researchers involved in statistical analysis or modelling in any of these fields.
