In recent years, imbalanced data classification are utilized in several domains including, detecting fraudulent activities in banking sector, disease prediction in healthcare sector and so on. To solve the Imbalanced classification problem at data level, strategy such as undersampling or oversampling are widely used. Sampling technique pose a challenge of significant information loss. The proposed method involves two processes namely, undersampling and classification. First, undersampling is performed by means of Tversky Similarity Indexive Regression model. Here, regression along with the Tversky similarity index is used in analyzing the relationship between two instances from the dataset. Next, Gaussian Kernelized Decision stump AdaBoosting is used for classifying the instances into two classes. Here, the root node in the Decision Stump takes a decision on the basis of the Gaussian Kernel function, considering average of neighboring points accordingly the results is obtained at the leaf node. Weights are also adjusted to minimizing the training errors occurring during classification to find the best classifier. Experimental assessment is performed with two different imbalanced dataset (Pima Indian diabetes and Hepatitis dataset). Various performance metrics such as precision, recall, AUC under ROC score and F1-score are compared with the existing undersampling methods. Experimental results showed that prediction accuracy of minority class has improved and therefore minimizing false positive and false negative.

In the context of teaching-learning of motor skills in a virtual environment, videos are generally used. The person who wants to learn a certain movement watches a video and tries to perform the activity. In this sense, feedback is rarely thought of. This article proposes an algorithm in which two periodic movements are compared, the one carried out by an expert and the one carried out by the person who is learning, in order to determine how closely these two movements are performed and to provide feedback from them. The algorithm starts from the capture of data through a wearable device that yields data from an accelerometer; in this case, the data of the expert and the data of the person who is learning are captured in a dataset of salsa dance steps. Adjustments are made to the data in terms of Pearson iterations, synchronization, filtering, and normalization, and DTW, linear regression, and error analysis are used to make the corresponding comparison of the two datasets. With the above, it is possible to determine if the cycles of the two signals coincide and how closely the learners movements resemble those of the expert.
Accurate cyclone intensity prediction is crucial for smart cities to effectively prepare and mitigate the potential devastation caused by these extreme weather events. Traditional meteorological models often face challenges in accurately forecasting cyclone intensity due to cyclonic systems’ complex and dynamic nature. Predicting the intensity of cyclones is a challenging task in meteorological research, as it requires expertise in extracting spatio-temporal features. To address this challenge, a new technique, called linear support vector regressive gradient descent Jaccardized deep multilayer perceptive classifier (LEGEMP), has been proposed to improve the accuracy of cyclone intensity prediction. This technique utilizes a dataset that contains various attributes. It employs the Herfindahl correlative linear support vector regression feature selection to identify the most important characteristics for enhancing cyclone intensity forecasting accuracy. The selected features are then used in conjunction with the Nesterov gradient descent jeopardized deep multilayer perceptive classifier to predict the intensity classes of cyclones, including depression, deep depression, cyclone, severe cyclone, very severe cyclone, and extremely severe cyclone. Experimental results have demonstrated that LEGEMP outperforms conventional methods in terms of cyclone intensity prediction accuracy, requiring minimum time, error rate, and memory consumption. By leveraging advanced techniques and feature selection, LEGEMP provides more reliable and precise predictions for cyclone intensity, enabling better preparedness and response strategies to mitigate the impact of these destructive storms. The LEGEMP technique offers an improved approach to cyclone intensity prediction, leveraging advanced classifiers and feature selection methods to enhance accuracy and reduce error rates. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach through rigorous evaluation and comparison with conventional prediction methods, showcasing significant improvements in prediction accuracy. Integrating our enhanced prediction model into smart city disaster management systems can substantially enhance preparedness and response strategies, ultimately contributing to the safety and resilience of communities in cyclone-prone regions.
