Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Due to the great success of our Special Issue "Machine Learning and Data Analysis" we decided to set up a second volume.

There is no need to convince anyone about the huge influence of theoretical models of machine learning or data analysis techniques on our present way of living. They influence many science disciplines including industry, medicine, transport, and many others. We may observe how different approaches are mixed to become a new and complete model: classifiers for image analysis as well as image pattern recognition algorithms for classification; neural networks for clustering, classification or time series prediction; feature selection and extraction algorithms for preprocessing step of many of above mentioned applications.

The topics of the Special Issue include but are not limited to the following:

  • Supervised learning;
  • Unsupervised learning;
  • Time series analysis;
  • Descriptive analysis;
  • Biclustering;
  • Genetic algorithms;
  • ML & DM applications;
  • Artificial neural networks;
  • Deep learning;
  • Decision support systems;
  • Anomaly detection;
  • Image analysis;
  • Pattern recognition.

Welcome to read the publications in "Machine Learning and Data Analysis" at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/symmetry/special_issues/Machine_Learning_Data_Analysis.

Li-ion batteries are integral to various applications, ranging from electric vehicles to mobile devices, because of their high energy density and user friendliness. The assessment of the Li-ion state of heath stands as a crucial research domain, aiming to innovate safer and more effective battery management systems that can predict and promptly report any operational discrepancies. To achieve this, an array of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) methodologies have been employed to analyze data from Li-ion batteries, facilitating the estimation of critical parameters like state of charge (SoC) and state of health (SoH). The continuous enhancement of ML and AI algorithm efficiency remains a pivotal focus of scholarly inquiry. Our study distinguishes itself by separately evaluating traditional machine learning frameworks and advanced deep learning paradigms to determine their respective efficacy in predictive modeling. We dissected the performances of an assortment of models, spanning from conventional ML techniques to sophisticated, hybrid deep learning constructs. Our investigation provides a granular analysis of each model’s utility, promoting an informed and strategic integration of ML and AI in Li-ion battery state of health prognostics. Specifically, a utilization of machine learning algorithms such as Random Forests (RFs) and eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), alongside regression models like Elastic Net and foundational neural network approaches including Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) were studied. Furthermore, our research investigated the enhancement of time series analysis using intricate models like Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) and their outcomes with those of hybrid models, including a RNN-long short-term memory (LSTM), CNN-LSTM, CNN-Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) and RNN-GRU. Comparative evaluations reveal that the RNN-LSTM configuration achieved a Mean Squared Error (MSE) of 0.043, R-Squared of 0.758, Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 0.208, and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 0.124, whereas the CNN-LSTM framework reported an MSE of 0.039, R-Squared of 0.782, RMSE of 0.197, and MAE of 0.122, underscoring the potential of deep learning-based hybrid models in advancing the accuracy of battery state of health assessments.

Improving velocity forecasts of blood microflows could be useful in biomedical applications. We focus on estimating the velocity of the blood in capillaries. Modeling blood microflow in capillaries is a complex process. In this paper, we use artificial intelligence techniques for this modeling: more precisely, artificial neural networks (ANNs). The selected model is able to accurately forecast the velocity, with an R2 of 0.8992 comparing the forecast with the actual velocity. A key part of ANN model creation is selecting the appropriate parameters for the ANN, such as the number of neurons, the number of layers and the type of training algorithm used. A grid approach with 327,600 simulations was used. It is shown that there are substantial, statistically significant differences when different types of ANN structures are used. It is also shown that the proposed model is robust regarding the initial random initialization of weights in the ANN. Additionally, the sensitivity of the selected models to additional noise was also tested. Full article

There are several goals of the two-dimensional data analysis: one may be interested in searching for groups of similar objects (clustering), another one may be focused on searching for some dependencies between a specified one and other variables (classification, regression, associate rules induction), and finally, some may be interested in serching for well-defined patterns in the data called biclusters. It was already proved that there exists a mathematically proven symmetry between some patterns in the matrix and implicants of data-defined Boolean function. This paper provides the new look for a specific pattern search—the pattern named the δ-shifting pattern. The shifting pattern is interesting, as it accounts for constant fluctuations in data, i.e., it captures situations in which all the values in the pattern move up or down for one dimension, maintaining the range amplitude for all the dimensions. Such a behavior is very common in real data, e.g., in the analysis of gene expression data. In such a domain, a subset of genes might go up or down for a subset of patients or experimental conditions, identifying functionally coherent categories. A δ-shifting pattern meets the necessity of shifting pattern induction together with the bias of the real values acquisition where the original shifts may be disturbed with some outer conditions. Experiments with a real dataset show the potential of our approach at finding biclusters with δ-shifting patterns, providing excellent performance. It was possible to find the 12×9 pattern in the 112×9 input data with MSR=0.00653. The experiments also revealed that δ-shifting patterns are quite difficult to be found by some well-known methods of biclustering, as these are not designed to focus on shifting patterns—results comparable due to MSR had much more variability (in terms of δ) than patterns found with Boolean reasoning.
