Sure! I'd be happy to provide you with an introduction to machine learning basics for beginners. Machine learning is a subfield of artificial intelligence (AI) that focuses on enabling computers to learn and make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed. Here are some key concepts and terms to help you get started:

1. Supervised Learning: In supervised learning, the machine learning algorithm learns from labeled training data. The training data consists of input examples and their corresponding correct output or target values. The algorithm learns to generalize from this data and make predictions or classify new, unseen examples.

2. Unsupervised Learning: Unsupervised learning involves learning patterns and relationships from unlabeled data. Unlike supervised learning, there are no target values provided. Instead, the algorithm aims to discover inherent structures or clusters in the data.

3. Training Data and Test Data: Machine learning models require a dataset to learn from. The dataset is typically split into two parts: the training data and the test data. The model learns from the training data, and the test data is used to evaluate its performance and generalization ability.

4. Features and Labels: In supervised learning, the input examples are often represented by features or attributes. For example, in a spam email classification task, features might include the presence of certain keywords or the length of the email. The corresponding output or target values are called labels, indicating the class or category to which the example belongs (e.g., spam or not spam).

5. Model Evaluation Metrics: To assess the performance of a machine learning model, various evaluation metrics are used. Common metrics include accuracy (the proportion of correctly predicted examples), precision (the proportion of true positives among all positive predictions), recall (the proportion of true positives predicted correctly), and F1 score (a combination of precision and recall).

6. Overfitting and Underfitting: Overfitting occurs when a model becomes too complex and learns to memorize the training data instead of generalizing well to unseen examples. On the other hand, underfitting happens when a model is too simple and fails to capture the underlying patterns in the data. Balancing the complexity of the model is crucial to achieve good generalization.

7. Feature Engineering: Feature engineering involves selecting or creating relevant features that can help improve the performance of a machine learning model. It often requires domain knowledge and creativity to transform raw data into a suitable representation that captures the important information.

8. Bias and Variance Trade-off: The bias-variance trade-off is a fundamental concept in machine learning. Bias refers to the errors introduced by the model's assumptions and simplifications, while variance refers to the model's sensitivity to small fluctuations in the training data. Reducing bias may increase variance and vice versa. Finding the right balance is important for building a well-performing model.

9. Supervised Learning Algorithms: There are various supervised learning algorithms, including linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVM), and neural networks. Each algorithm has its own strengths, weaknesses, and specific use cases.

10. Unsupervised Learning Algorithms: Unsupervised learning algorithms include clustering algorithms like k-means clustering and hierarchical clustering, dimensionality reduction techniques like principal component analysis (PCA) and t-SNE, and anomaly detection algorithms, among others.

These concepts provide a starting point for understanding the basics of machine learning. As you delve deeper, you can explore more advanced topics such as deep learning, reinforcement learning, and natural language processing. Remember to practice hands-on with real-world datasets to gain practical experience and further refine your skills.

More details below!

Context

Every legal proceeding in Brazil is one of three possible classes of status: (i) archived proceedings, (ii) active proceedings, and (iii) suspended proceedings. The three possible classes are given in a specific instant in time, which may be temporary or permanent. Moreover, they are decided by the courts to organize their workflow, which in Brazil may reach thousands of simultaneous cases per judge. Developing machine learning models to classify legal proceedings according to their status can assist public and private institutions in managing large portfolios of legal proceedings, providing gains in scale and efficiency.

In this dataset, each proceeding is made up of a sequence of short texts called “motions” written in Portuguese by the courts’ administrative staff. The motions relate to the proceedings, but not necessarily to their legal status.

Content

Our data is composed of two datasets: a dataset of ~3*10^6 unlabeled motions and a dataset containing 6449 legal proceedings, each with an individual and a variable number of motions, but which have been labeled by lawyers. Among the labeled data, 47.14% is classified as archived (class 1), 45.23% is classified as active (class 2), and 7.63% is classified as suspended (class 3).

The datasets we use are representative samples from the first (São Paulo) and third (Rio de Janeiro) most significant state courts. State courts handle the most variable types of cases throughout Brazil and are responsible for 80% of the total amount of lawsuits. Therefore, these datasets are a good representation of a very significant portion of the use of language and expressions in Brazilian legal vocabulary.

Regarding the labels dataset, the key "-1" denotes the most recent text while "-2" the second most recent and so on.

Can you develop good machine learning classifiers for text sequences? :)

These four labeled data sets are targeted at ordinal quantification. The goal of quantification is not to predict the label of each individual instance, but the distribution of labels in unlabeled sets of data.

With the scripts provided, you can extract CSV files from the UCI machine learning repository and from OpenML. The ordinal class labels stem from a binning of a continuous regression label.

We complement this data set with the indices of data items that appear in each sample of our evaluation. Hence, you can precisely replicate our samples by drawing the specified data items. The indices stem from two evaluation protocols that are well suited for ordinal quantification. To this end, each row in the files app_val_indices.csv, app_tst_indices.csv, app-oq_val_indices.csv, and app-oq_tst_indices.csv represents one sample.

Our first protocol is the artificial prevalence protocol (APP), where all possible distributions of labels are drawn with an equal probability. The second protocol, APP-OQ, is a variant thereof, where only the smoothest 20% of all APP samples are considered. This variant is targeted at ordinal quantification tasks, where classes are ordered and a similarity of neighboring classes can be assumed.

Usage

You can extract four CSV files through the provided script extract-oq.jl, which is conveniently wrapped in a Makefile. The Project.toml and Manifest.toml specify the Julia package dependencies, similar to a requirements file in Python.

Preliminaries: You have to have a working Julia installation. We have used Julia v1.6.5 in our experiments.

Data Extraction: In your terminal, you can call either

make

(recommended), or

julia --project="." --eval "using Pkg; Pkg.instantiate()"
julia --project="." extract-oq.jl

Outcome: The first row in each CSV file is the header. The first column, named "class_label", is the ordinal class.

Reaching the performance of fully supervised learning with unlabeled data and only labeling one sample per class might be ideal for deep learning applications. We demonstrate for the first time the potential for building one-shot semi-supervised (BOSS) learning on CIFAR-10 and SVHN up to attain test accuracies that are comparable to fully supervised learning. Our method combines class prototype refining, class balancing, and self-training. A good prototype choice is essential and we propose a technique for obtaining iconic examples. In addition, we demonstrate that class balancing methods substantially improve accuracy results in semi-supervised learning to levels that allow self-training to reach the level of fully supervised learning performance. Our experiments demonstrate the value with computing and analyzing test accuracies for every class, rather than only a total test accuracy. We show that our BOSS methodology can obtain total test accuracies with CIFAR-10 images and only one labeled sample per class up to 95% (compared to 94.5% for fully supervised). Similarly, the SVHN images obtains test accuracies of 97.8%, compared to 98.27% for fully supervised. Rigorous empirical evaluations provide evidence that labeling large datasets is not necessary for training deep neural networks. Our code is available at https://github.com/lnsmith54/BOSS to facilitate replication.

Transvaginal ultrasound is the preferred method for visualizing the cervix in most patients, offering detailed insight into cervical anatomy and structure. Accurate segmentation of ultrasound (US) images of the cervical muscles is essential for analyzing deep muscle structures, assessing their function, and monitoring treatment protocols tailored to individual patients.

The manual annotation of cervical structures in transvaginal ultrasound images is labor-intensive and time-consuming, limiting the availability of large labeled datasets required for robust machine learning models. In response to this challenge, semi supervised learning approaches have shown potential by leveraging both labeled and unlabeled data, enabling the extraction of useful information from unannotated cases. This method could reduce the need for extensive manual annotation while maintaining accuracy, thus accelerating the development of automated cervical image segmentation systems. The envisioned impact of this challenge is twofold: improving clinical decision-making through more accessible and accurate diagnostic tools and advancing machine learning techniques for medical image analysis, particularly in resource-constrained environments.

We extend the MICCAI PSFHS 2023 Challenge and the MICCAI IUGC 2024 Challenge from fully supervised settings to a semi-supervised setting that focuses on how to use unlabeled data.

Machine learning‐based behaviour classification using acceleration data is a powerful tool in bio‐logging research. Deep learning architectures such as convolutional neural networks (CNN), long short‐term memory (LSTM) and self‐attention mechanisms as well as related training techniques have been extensively studied in human activity recognition. However, they have rarely been used in wild animal studies. The main challenges of acceleration‐based wild animal behaviour classification include data shortages, class imbalance problems, various types of noise in data due to differences in individual behaviour and where the loggers were attached and complexity in data due to complex animal‐specific behaviours, which may have limited the application of deep learning techniques in this area. To overcome these challenges, we explored the effectiveness of techniques for efficient model training: data augmentation, manifold mixup and pre‐training of deep learning models with unlabelled data, using datasets from two species of wild seabirds and state‐of‐the‐art deep learning model architectures. Data augmentation improved the overall model performance when one of the various techniques (none, scaling, jittering, permutation, time‐warping and rotation) was randomly applied to each data during mini‐batch training. Manifold mixup also improved model performance, but not as much as random data augmentation. Pre‐training with unlabelled data did not improve model performance. The state‐of‐the‐art deep learning models, including a model consisting of four CNN layers, an LSTM layer and a multi‐head attention layer, as well as its modified version with shortcut connection, showed better performance among other comparative models. Using only raw acceleration data as inputs, these models outperformed classic machine learning approaches that used 119 handcrafted features. Our experiments showed that deep learning techniques are promising for acceleration‐based behaviour classification of wild animals and highlighted some challenges (e.g. effective use of unlabelled data). There is scope for greater exploration of deep learning techniques in wild animal studies (e.g. advanced data augmentation, multimodal sensor data use, transfer learning and self‐supervised learning). We hope that this study will stimulate the development of deep learning techniques for wild animal behaviour classification using time‐series sensor data.

To analyse large numbers of texts, social science researchers are increasingly confronting the challenge of text classification. When manual labeling is not possible and researchers have to find automatized ways to classify texts, computer science provides a useful toolbox of machine-learning methods whose performance remains understudied in the social sciences. In this article, we compare the performance of the most widely used text classifiers by applying them to a typical research scenario in social science research: a relatively small labeled dataset with infrequent occurrence of categories of interest, which is a part of a large unlabeled dataset. As an example case, we look at Twitter communication regarding climate change, a topic of increasing scholarly interest in interdisciplinary social science research. Using a novel dataset including 5,750 tweets from various international organizations regarding the highly ambiguous concept of climate change, we evaluate the performance of methods in automatically classifying tweets based on whether they are about climate change or not. In this context, we highlight two main findings. First, supervised machine-learning methods perform better than state-of-the-art lexicons, in particular as class balance increases. Second, traditional machine-learning methods, such as logistic regression and random forest, perform similarly to sophisticated deep-learning methods, whilst requiring much less training time and computational resources. The results have important implications for the analysis of short texts in social science research.

Applications: - Supervised Learning: Use the labeled dataset to train and evaluate models such as Random Forest, SVM, and Logistic Regression for anomaly detection. - Unsupervised Learning: Apply techniques like clustering and change point detection on the unlabeled dataset to discover hidden patterns and anomalies.

This dataset is ideal for practitioners and researchers aiming to explore network security, develop robust anomaly detection models, or conduct comparative analysis between supervised and unsupervised learning methods.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified thousands of variants in the human genome with autoimmune diseases. However, identifying functional regulatory variants associated with autoimmune diseases remains challenging, largely because of insufficient experimental validation data. We adopt the concept of semi-supervised learning by combining labeled and unlabeled data to develop a deep learning-based algorithm framework, sscNOVA, to predict functional regulatory variants in autoimmune diseases and analyze the functional characteristics of these regulatory variants. Compared to traditional supervised learning methods, our approach leverages more variants’ data to explore the relationship between functional regulatory variants and autoimmune diseases. Based on the experimentally curated testing dataset and evaluation metrics, we find that sscNOVA outperforms other state-of-the-art methods. Furthermore, we illustrate that sscNOVA can help to improve the prioritization of functional regulatory variants from lead single-nucleotide polymorphisms and the proxy variants in autoimmune GWAS data.

Dataset Type Analysis

The video dataset market is segmented by dataset type into labeled, unlabeled, and synthetic datasets, each serving distinct purposes and addressing unique industry requirements. Labeled video datasets are foundational for supervised learning applications, where annotated frames and sequences enable machine learning models to learn complex patterns and behaviors.

The prediction of response to drugs before initiating therapy based on transcriptome data is a major challenge. However, identifying effective drug response label data costs time and resources. Methods available often predict poorly and fail to identify robust biomarkers due to the curse of dimensionality: high dimensionality and low sample size. Therefore, this necessitates the development of predictive models to effectively predict the response to drugs using limited labeled data while being interpretable. In this study, we report a novel Hierarchical Graph Random Neural Networks (HiRAND) framework to predict the drug response using transcriptome data of few labeled data and additional unlabeled data. HiRAND completes the information integration of the gene graph and sample graph by graph convolutional network (GCN). The innovation of our model is leveraging data augmentation strategy to solve the dilemma of limited labeled data and using consistency regularization to optimize the prediction consistency of unlabeled data across different data augmentations. The results showed that HiRAND achieved better performance than competitive methods in various prediction scenarios, including both simulation data and multiple drug response data. We found that the prediction ability of HiRAND in the drug vorinostat showed the best results across all 62 drugs. In addition, HiRAND was interpreted to identify the key genes most important to vorinostat response, highlighting critical roles for ribosomal protein-related genes in the response to histone deacetylase inhibition. Our HiRAND could be utilized as an efficient framework for improving the drug response prediction performance using few labeled data.

Image segmentation holds broad applications in medical image analysis, providing crucial support to doctors in both automatic diagnosis and computer-assisted interventions. The heterogeneity observed across various medical image datasets necessitates the training of task-specific segmentation models. However, effectively supervising the training of deep learning segmentation models typically demands dense label masks, a requirement that becomes challenging due to the constraints posed by privacy and cost issues in collecting large-scale medical datasets. These challenges collectively give rise to the limited annotations problems in medical image segmentation.

Firstly, we employ self-supervised learning to extract information from unlabeled data, presenting a tailored self-supervised method designed specifically for convolutional neural networks and 3D Vision Transformers. Secondly, our attention shifts to domain adaptation problems, leveraging images with similar content but in different modalities. We introduce the use of contrastive loss as a shape constraint in our image translation framework, resulting in both improved performance and enhanced training robustness. Thirdly, we incorporate diffusion models for data augmentation, expanding datasets with generated image-label pairs. Lastly, we explore to extract segmentation masks from image-level annotations alone. We propose a multi-task training framework for ECG abnormal beats localization and a conditional diffusion-based algorithm for tumor detection.
