In the current era, Heart Failure (HF) is one of the common diseases that can lead to dangerous situation. Every year almost 26 million of patients are affecting with this kind of disease. From the heart consultant and surgeon's point of view, it is complex to predict the heart failure on right time. Fortunately, classification and predicting models are there, which can aid the medical field and can illustrates how to use the medical data in an efficient way. This paper aims to improve the HF prediction accuracy using UCI heart disease dataset. For this, multiple machine learning approaches used to understand the data and predict the HF chances in a medical database. Furthermore, the results and comparative study showed that, the current work improved the previous accuracy score in predicting heart disease. The integration of the machine learning model presented in this study with medical information systems would be useful to predict the HF or any other disease using the live data collected from patients.

Rapid advancements in technology over the last two decades played a key role in increasing the utilizations of mobile banking applications. Banks are providing this service to allow their customers to access their accounts anytime anywhere. Although many studies have assessed user satisfaction of mobile banking, most of these studies have been done in developed countries and only a few have compared mobile banking in developing with developed countries. This study assessed user satisfaction of mobile banking in both the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia. Above 100 online questionnaires were collected from individuals who have experience in using mobile banking applications in both the UK and Saudi Arabia. The results show that system quality has a significant effect on customer satisfaction in the UK, but not in Saudi Arabia. Secondly, both information quality and interface design quality have significant effects on customer satisfaction in both the UK and Saudi Arabia. However, the overall findings from this study suggest that respondents are more satisfied with mobile banking in the UK than with mobile banking in Saudi Arabia.

Named entity recognition (NER) continues to be an important task in natural language processing because it is featured as a subtask and/or subproblem in information extraction and machine translation. In Urdu language processing, it is a very difficult task. This paper proposes various deep recurrent neural network (DRNN) learning models with word embedding. Experimental results demonstrate that they improve upon current state‐of‐the‐art NER approaches for Urdu. The DRRN models evaluated include forward and bidirectional extensions of the long short‐term memory and back propagation through time approaches. The proposed models consider both language‐dependent features, such as part‐of‐speech tags, and language‐independent features, such as the “context windows” of words. The effectiveness of the DRNN models with word embedding for NER in Urdu is demonstrated using three datasets. The results reveal that the proposed approach significantly outperforms previous conditional random field and artificial neural network approaches. The best f‐measure values achieved on the three benchmark datasets using the proposed deep learning approaches are 81.1%, 79.94%, and 63.21%, respectively.

Controlling infectious diseases is a major health priority because they can spread and infect humans, thus evolving into epidemics or pandemics. Therefore, early detection of infectious diseases is a significant need, and many researchers have developed models to diagnose them in the early stages. This paper reviewed research articles for recent machine-learning (ML) algorithms applied to infectious disease diagnosis. We searched the Web of Science, ScienceDirect, PubMed, Springer, and IEEE databases from 2015 to 2022, identified the pros and cons of the reviewed ML models, and discussed the possible recommendations to advance the studies in this field. We found that most of the articles used small datasets, and few of them used real-time data. Our results demonstrated that a suitable ML technique depends on the nature of the dataset and the desired goal. Moreover, heterogeneous data could ensure the model’s generalization, while big data, many features, and a hybrid model will increase the resulting performance. Furthermore, using other techniques such as deep learning and NLP to extract vast features from unstructured data is a powerful approach to enhancing the performance of ML diagnostic models.

In Urdu, part of speech (POS) tagging is a challenging task as it is both inflectionally and derivationally rich morphological language. Verbs are generally conceived a highly inflected object in Urdu comparatively to nouns. POS tagging is used as a preliminary linguistic text analysis in diverse natural language processing domains such as speech processing, information extraction, machine translation, and others. It is a task that first identifies appropriate syntactic categories for each word in running text and second assigns the predicted syntactic tag to all concerned words. The current work is the extension of our previous work. Previously, we presented conditional random field (CRF)-based POS tagger with both language dependent and independent feature set. However, in the current study, we offer: 1) the implementation of both machine and deep learning models for Urdu POS tagging task with well-balanced language-independent feature set and 2) to highlight diverse challenges which cause Urdu POS task a challenging one. In this research, we demonstrated the effectiveness of machine learning and deep learning models for Urdu POS task. Empirically, we have evaluated the performance of all models on two benchmark datasets. The core models evaluated in this study are CRF, support vector machine (SVM), two variants of the deep recurrent neural network (DRNN), and a variant of n-gram Markov model the bigram hidden Markov model (HMM). The two variants of DRRN models evaluated include forward long short-term memory (LSTM)-RNN and LSTM-RNN with CRF output.
