Cloud-based real-time cardiac monitoring models are emerging in the market. These monitoring models can compute very intensive tasks in real time and have found a lot of application in Medical diagnostics. Several cloud-based methods have been proposed and its total functionality is evaluated. In this paper, we propose an evaluation of different neural network models. The signal is transformed into wavelet domain and noise removal is carried out by wavelet de-noising post filtering. The features are extracted from the processed signal and are transmitted to the cloud where predictive models are applied to the extracted features to predict the class of arrhythmia thus aiding the medical diagnostic process.","PeriodicalId":156315,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Cloud Computing in Emerging Markets (CCEM)","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128595337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Simultaneously, mixing new with older, installed technologies from multiple vendors can create complex maintenance challenges. One could opt for each individual vendor’s solution, but this can add complexity and may not put the crucial needs of the customer first. To maintain a customer-centric approach that leads to a high-quality brand image, improved customer satisfaction and ultimately a better bottom line, there is a need for service-oriented, vendor focused approach on delivering an integrated maintenance and technical support strategy, so that concentration on customers can be accomplished. In this direction, predictive maintenance plays a very vital role in enabling financial organizations to drive their ATM and branch business effectively to create maximum impact through predictive maintenance leveraging predictive analytics and machine learning technologies. We propose a method and Machine Learning model that takes various input data and determines likelihood of failure at a device and its component level within a stipulated future time-period with certain accuracy and precision for financial clients.","PeriodicalId":156315,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Cloud Computing in Emerging Markets (CCEM)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116431214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, sophisticated learning models becomes computationally unfeasible when dimension of the data increases. One of the solution to overcome this problem is to use feature selection methods. Feature selection methods finds the optimal feature subset and the subset performance is evaluated using some evaluation criteria, these methods are categorized as Filter, Wrapper, Embedded and Hybrid approaches. Even though these methods reduces the dimension of the data, the execution time of training increases as the dataset size increases. And also nowadays the preferred place for storage of data is cloud. Thus, the first step before applying machine learning algorithms is to copy the data to our local machine. This might take lot of time, if the size of data is huge. So to overcome such problems, here we propose a pipeline that runs on the AWS cloud based distributed architecture capable of doing feature selection, training and classifying. Here, we define an evaluation criteria that measures the performance of feature subsets based on the classification accuracy and size of the feature subset. The experiments were carried out on two chest X-ray datasets (Shenzhen and NIH) clinically tested as normal or abnormal. We achieved the classification accuracy of 84.24% for Shenzhen dataset and 79.55% for NIH dataset for classifying the chest X-ray image as normal or abnormal reducing the feature subset size to more than 50% with hybrid approach of feature selection and using defined evaluation criteria.","PeriodicalId":156315,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Cloud Computing in Emerging Markets (CCEM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125845263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper presents a way to understand the customer usage pattern on a SaaS product and dynamically rank, prioritize and execute the tests. This approach is tested and validated for its effectiveness in a real-world situation from the industry. The solutions and comparative results of both the methods demonstrate that the priority and importance of an API from engineering perspective is different from the customer's.

We present a novel idea that enables users to easily specify, create, train and rapidly deploy machine learning models through a scalable Machine-Learning-as-a-Service (MLaaS) offering. The MLaaS is provided as an end-to-end microservice suite in a container-based PaaS environment for web applications on the cloud.
