This research is a collaboration involving a university team, a partnering corporation, and a hemodialysis clinic, which is a cross-disciplinary research initiative in the field of Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) within the medical informatics domain. The research has two objectives: (1) The development of an <i>Internet of Things (IoT)</i><i>-based</i><i> Information System</i> customized for the hemodialysis machines at the clinic, including transmission bridges, clinical personnel dedicated web/app, and a backend server. The system has been deployed at the clinic and is now officially operational; (2) The research also utilized de-identified, anonymous data (collected by the officially operational system) to train, evaluate, and compare <i>Deep Learning-based Intradialytic Blood Pressure</i><i> (BP)</i><i>/Pulse </i><i>Rate (PR) </i><i>Predictive Models</i>, with subsequent suggestions provided. Both objectives were executed under the supervision of the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at Mackay Memorial Hospital in Taiwan. The system completed for objective one has introduced three significant services to the clinic, including automated hemodialysis data collection, digitized data storage, and an information-rich human-machine interface as well as graphical data displays, which replaces traditional paper-based clinical administrative operations, thereby enhancing healthcare efficiency. The graphical data presented through web and app interfaces aids in real-time, intuitive comprehension of the patients’ conditions during hemodialysis. Moreover, the data stored in the backend database is available for physicians to conduct relevant analyses, unearth insights into medical practices, and provide precise medical care for individual patients. The training and evaluation of the predictive models for objective two, along with related comparisons, analyses, and recommendations, suggest that in situations with limited computational resources and data, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model with six hidden layers, SELU activation function, and a focus on artery-related features can be employed for hourly intradialytic BP/PR prediction tasks. It is believed that this contributes to the collaborating clinic and relevant research communities.

Sentiment analysis, a vital aspect of natural language processing, involves the application of machine learning models to discern the emotional tone conveyed in textual data. The use case for this type of problem is where businesses can make informed decisions based on customer feedback, identify the sentiments of their employees, and make decisions on hiring or retention, or for that matter, classify a text based on its topic like whether it is about a particular subject like physics or chemistry as is useful in search engines. The model leverages a sequential architecture, transforms words into dense vectors using an Embedding layer, and captures intricate sequential patterns with two Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) layers. This model aims to effectively classify sentiments in text data using a 50-dimensional embedding dimension and 20 % dropout layers. The use of rectified linear unit (ReLU) activations enhances non-linearity, while the SoftMax activation in the output layer aligns with the multi-class nature of sentiment analysis. Both training and test accuracy were well over 80%.

In the constantly evolving world of cloud computing, appropriate resource allocation is essential for both keeping costs down and ensuring an ongoing flow of apps and services. Because of its adaptability to specific tasks and human behavior, machine learning (ML) is a desirable choice for fulfilling those needs. This study Efficient cloud resource allocation is critical for optimizing performance and cost in cloud computing environments. In order to improve the precision of resource allocation, this study investigates the use of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). The LSTM model achieved 97% accuracy, 97.5% precision, 98% recall, and a 97.8% F1-score (F1-score: harmonic mean of precision and recall), according to experimental data. The confusion matrix demonstrates strong classification performance across several resource classes, while the accuracy and loss curves verify steady learning with minimal overfitting. The suggested LSTM model performs better than more conventional ML (machine learning) models like Gradient Boosting (GB) and Logistic Regression (LR), according to a comparative study. These findings underscore the LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) model’s robustness and suitability for dynamic cloud environments, enabling more accurate forecasting and efficient resource management.

The field of sentiment analysis is a crucial aspect of natural language processing (NPL) and is essential in discovering the emotional undertones within the text data and, hence, capturing public sentiments over a variety of issues. In this regard, this study suggests a deep learning technique for sentiment categorization on a Twitter dataset that is based on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. Preprocessing is done comprehensively, feature extraction is done through a bag of words method, and 80-20 data is split using training and testing. The experimental findings demonstrate that the LSTM model outperforms the conventional models, such as SVM and Naïve Bayes, with an F1-score of 99.46%, accuracy of 99.13%, precision of 99.45%, and recall of 99.25%. Additionally, AUC-ROC and PR curves validate the model’s effectiveness. Although, it performs well the model consumes heavy computational resources and longer training time. In summary, the results show that deep learning performs well in sentiment analysis and can be used to social media monitoring, customer feedback evaluation, market sentiment analysis, etc.
