Predicting seismic-induced liquefaction through ensemble learning frameworks.

ABSTRACT: The regional nature of liquefaction records and limited information available for a certain set of explanatories motivate the development of complex prediction techniques. Indirect methods are commonly applied to incidentally derive a hyperplane to this binary classification problem. Machine learning approaches offer evolutionary prediction models which can be used as direct prediction methods to liquefaction occurrence. Ensemble learning is a recent advancement in this field. According to a predefined ensemble architecture, a number of learners are trained and their inferences are integrated to produce stable and improved generalization ability. However, there is a need to consider several aspects of the ensemble learning frameworks when exploiting them for a particular application; a comprehensive evaluation of an ensemble learner's generalization ability is required but usually overlooked. Also, the literature falls short on work utilizing ensemble learning in liquefaction prediction. To this extent, this work examines useful ensemble learning approaches for seismic-induced liquefaction prediction. A comprehensive analysis of fifteen ensemble models is performed. The results show improved prediction performance and diminishing uncertainty of ensembles, compared with single machine learning models.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant within eukaryotic messenger RNA modification, which plays an essential regulatory role in the control of cellular functions and gene expression. However, it remains an outstanding challenge to detect mRNA m6A transcriptome-wide at base resolution via experimental approaches, which are generally time-consuming and expensive. Developing computational methods is a good strategy for accurate in silico detection of m6A modification sites from the large amount of RNA sequence data. Unfortunately, the existing computational models are usually only for m6A site prediction in a single species, without considering the tissue level of species, while most of them are constructed based on low-confidence level data generated by an m6A antibody immunoprecipitation (IP)-based sequencing method, thereby restricting reliability and generalizability of proposed models. Here, we review recent advances in computational prediction of m6A sites and construct a new computational approach named im6APred using ensemble deep learning to accurately identify m6A sites based on high-confidence level data in multiple tissues of mammals. Our model im6APred builds upon a comprehensive evaluation of multiple classification methods, including four traditional classification algorithms and three deep learning methods and their ensembles. The optimal base-classifier combinations are then chosen by five-fold cross-validation test to achieve an effective stacked model. Our model im6APred can produce the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) in the range of 0.82-0.91 on independent tests, indicating that our model has the ability to learn general methylation rules on RNA bases and generalize to m6A transcriptome-wide identification. Moreover, AUROCs in the range of 0.77-0.96 were achieved using cross-species/tissues validation on the benchmark dataset, demonstrating differences in predictive performance at the tissue level and the need for constructing tissue-specific models for m6A site prediction.

Project description:In recent years, the number of vulnerabilities discovered and publicly disclosed has shown a sharp upward trend. However, the value of exploitation of vulnerabilities varies for attackers, considering that only a small fraction of vulnerabilities are exploited. Therefore, the realization of quick exclusion of the non-exploitable vulnerabilities and optimal patch prioritization on limited resources has become imperative for organizations. Recent works using machine learning techniques predict exploited vulnerabilities by extracting features from open-source intelligence (OSINT). However, in the face of explosive growth of vulnerability information, there is room for improvement in the application of past methods to multiple threat intelligence. A more general method is needed to deal with various threat intelligence sources. Moreover, in previous methods, traditional text processing methods were used to deal with vulnerability related descriptions, which only grasped the static statistical characteristics but ignored the context and the meaning of the words of the text. To address these challenges, we propose an exploit prediction model, which is based on a combination of fastText and LightGBM algorithm and called fastEmbed. We replicate key portions of the state-of-the-art work of exploit prediction and use them as benchmark models. Our model outperforms the baseline model whether in terms of the generalization ability or the prediction ability without temporal intermixing with an average overall improvement of 6.283% by learning the embedding of vulnerability-related text on extremely imbalanced data sets. Besides, in terms of predicting the exploits in the wild, our model also outperforms the baseline model with an F1 measure of 0.586 on the minority class (33.577% improvement over the work using features from darkweb/deepweb). The results demonstrate that the model can improve the ability to describe the exploitability of vulnerabilities and predict exploits in the wild effectively.
