This book focus on key component required for building predictive maintenance model. The current trend of Maintenance 4.0 leans towards the preventive mechanism enabled by predictive approach and condition-based smart maintenance. The intelligent decision support, earlier detection of spare part failure, fatigue detection is the main slices of intelligent and predictive maintenance system (PMS) leading towards Maintenance 4.0 This book presents prominent use cases of mechanical engineering using PMS along with the benefits. Basic understanding of data preparation is required for...

This book demonstrates different methods (as well as real-life examples) of handling uncertainty like probability and Bayesian theory, Dempster-Shafer theory, certainty factor and evidential reasoning, fuzzy logic-based approach, utility theory and expected utility theory. At the end, highlights will be on the use of these methods which can help to make decisions under uncertain situations. This book assists scholars and students who might like to learn about this area as well as others who may have begun without a formal presentation. The book is comprehensive, but it prohibits...

Future epidemics are inevitable, and it takes months and even years to collect fully annotated data. The sheer magnitude of data required for machine learning algorithms, spanning both shallow and deep structures, raises a fundamental question: how big data is big enough to effectively tackle future epidemics? In this context, active learning, often referred to as human or expert-in-the-loop learning, becomes imperative, enabling machines to commence learning from day one with minimal labeled data. In unsupervised learning, the focus shifts toward constructing advanced machine learning...

This book provides a concise guide tailored for researchers, bioinformaticians, and enthusiasts eager to unravel the mysteries hidden within single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data using cutting-edge machine learning techniques. The advent of scRNA-seq technology has revolutionized our understanding of cellular diversity and function, offering unprecedented insights into the intricate tapestry of gene expression at the single-cell level. However, the deluge of data generated by these experiments presents a formidable challenge, demanding advanced analytical tools, methodologies, and...

This book is intended to be a reference for scientists and engineers interested in applying type-3 fuzzy logic and fractal theory techniques in medical diagnosis. In this book, a new model based on type-3 fuzzy logic and fractal theory for applications in medical diagnosis is presented. The main idea is that a higher type and order of fuzzy logic can help in solving various diagnosis problems and find better results. In addition, fractal theory is also employed for enhancing medical diagnosis. In this regard, several hybrid intelligent methods are offered. In this book, the authors test...
