    Recently, the use of machine learning in meteorology has increased greatly. While many machine learning methods are not new, university classes on machine learning are largely unavailable to meteorology students and are not required to become a meteorologist. The lack of formal instruction has contributed to perception that machine learning methods are 'black boxes' and thus end-users are hesitant to apply the machine learning methods in their every day workflow. To reduce the opaqueness of machine learning methods and lower hesitancy towards machine learning in meteorology, this paper provides a survey of some of the most common machine learning methods. A familiar meteorological example is used to contextualize the machine learning methods while also discussing machine learning topics using plain language. The following machine learning methods are demonstrated: linear regression; logistic regression; decision trees; random forest; gradient boosted decision trees; naive Bayes; and support vector machines. Beyond discussing the different methods, the paper also contains discussions on the general machine learning process as well as best practices to enable readers to apply machine learning to their own datasets. Furthermore, all code (in the form of Jupyter notebooks and Google Colaboratory notebooks) used to make the examples in the paper is provided in an effort to catalyse the use of machine learning in meteorology.

    BCI systems are able to communicate directly between the brain and computer using neural activity measurements without the involvement of muscle movements. For BCI systems to be widely used by people with severe disabilities, long-term studies of their real-world use are needed, along with effective and feasible dissemination models. In addition, the robustness of the BCI systems' performance should be improved so they reach the same level of robustness as natural muscle-based health monitoring. In this chapter, we review the recent BCI related studies, followed by the most relevant applications of BCI systems. We also present the key issues and challenges which exist in regard to the BCI systems and also provide future directions.

    Machine Learning (ML) is a technology that can revolutionize the world. It is a technology based on AI (Artificial Intelligence) and can predict the outcomes using the previous algorithms without programming it. A subset of artificial intelligence is called machine learning (AI). A machine may automatically learn from data and get better at what it does thanks to machine learning. “If additional data can be gathered to help a machine perform better, it can learn. A developing technology called machine learning allows computers to learn from historical data. Machines can predict the outcomes by machine learning. For Nowadays machine learning is very important for us because it makes our work easy. to many companies are using machine learning in their products, like google is using google its google assistant, which takes our voice command and gives what do we want from it, and google is also using its goggle lens form which we can find anything just by clicking a picture, and Netflix is using machine learning for recommendation of any movies or series, Machine learning has a very deep effect on our life, like nowadays we are using selfdriving car’s.

    Machine learning is often perceived as a sophisticated technology accessible only by highly trained experts. This prevents many physicians and biologists from using this tool in their research. The goal of this paper is to eliminate this out-dated perception. We argue that the recent development of auto machine learning techniques enables biomedical researchers to quickly build competitive machine learning classifiers without requiring in-depth knowledge about the underlying algorithms. We study the case of predicting the risk of cardiovascular diseases. To support our claim, we compare auto machine learning techniques against a graduate student using several important metrics, including the total amounts of time required for building machine learning models and the final classification accuracies on unseen test datasets. In particular, the graduate student manually builds multiple machine learning classifiers and tunes their parameters for one month using scikit-learn library, which is a popular machine learning library to obtain ones that perform best on two given, publicly available datasets. We run an auto machine learning library called auto-sklearn on the same datasets. Our experiments find that automatic machine learning takes 1 h to produce classifiers that perform better than the ones built by the graduate student in one month. More importantly, building this classifier only requires a few lines of standard code. Our findings are expected to change the way physicians see machine learning and encourage wide adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques in clinical domains.
