A Friend Recommendation System using Semantic Based KNN Algorithm

Social networking has become a major part of all our lives and we depend on it for day to day purposes. It is a medium that is used by people all around the world even in the smallest of towns. Its main purpose is to promote and aid communication between people. Social networks, such as Facebook, Twitter etc. were created for the sole purpose of helping individuals communicate about anything with each other. These networks are becoming an important and also contemporary method to make friends from any part of this world. These new friends can communicate through any form of social media. Recommendation systems exist in all the social networks which aid users to find new friends and unite to more people and form associations and alliances with people.

Mulberry Leaf Yield Prediction Using Machine Learning Techniques

Soil nutrients are essential for the growth of healthy crops. India produces a humungous quantity of Mulberry leaves which in turn produces the raw silk. Since the climatic conditions in India is favourable, Mulberry is grown throughout the year. Majority of the farmers hardly pay attention to the nature of soil and abiotic factors due to which leaves become malnutritious and thus when they are consumed by the silkworm, desired quality end-product, raw silk, will not be produced. It is beneficial for the farmers to know the amount of yield that their land can produce so that they can plan in advance. In this paper, different Machine Learning techniques are used in predicting the yield of the Mulberry crops based on the soil parameters. Three advanced machine-learning models are selected and compared, namely, Multiple linear regression, Ridge regression and Random Forest Regression (RF). The experimental results show that Random Forest Regression outperforms other algorithms.

Prediction of IPL Match Outcome Using Machine Learning Techniques

India's most popular sport is cricket and is played across all over the nation in different formats like T20, ODI, and Test. The Indian Premier League (IPL) is a national cricket match where players are drawn from regional teams of India, National Team and also from international team. Many factors like live streaming, radio, TV broadcast made this league as popular among cricket fans. The prediction of the outcome of the IPL matches is very important for online traders and sponsors. We can predict the match between two teams based on various factors like team composition, batting and bowling averages of each player in the team, and the team's success in their previous matches, in addition to traditional factors such as toss, venue, and day-night, the probability of winning by batting first at a specified match venue against a specific team. In this paper, we have proposed a model for predicting outcome of the IPL matches using Machine learning Algorithms namely SVM, Random Forest Classifier (RFC), Logistic Regression and K-Nearest Neighbor. Experimental results showed that the Random Forest algorithm outperforms other algorithms with an accuracy of 88.10%.
