One of the significant challenges of manufacturing industries is downtime which could be attributed to different causes, including a process or component failure. We propose a novel framework which helps in downtime prediction using deep learning. In addition, we utilize Causal AI techniques to identify the underlying causes and the cascading failure subcomponent topological order, which influenced the downtime impact. We employed supervised machine learning for downtime prediction and causal AI techniques, including the PC (Peter-Clark) algorithm and Granger Causality for gaining insight into operational dependencies to improve the production workflow.

In the era of evolving artificial intelligence, machines are increasingly emulating human-like capabilities, including visual perception and linguistic expression. Image captioning stands at the intersection of these domains, enabling machines to interpret visual content and generate descriptive text. This paper provides a thorough review of image captioning techniques, catering to individuals entering the field of machine learning who seek a comprehensive understanding of available options, from foundational methods to state-of-the-art approaches. Beginning with an exploration of primitive architectures, the review traces the evolution of image captioning models to the latest cutting-edge solutions. By dissecting the components of these architectures, readers gain insights into the underlying mechanisms and can select suitable approaches tailored to specific problem requirements without duplicating efforts. The paper also delves into the application of image captioning in the medical domain, illuminating its significance in various real-world scenarios.

In modern financial markets, more than 3/4th of the large volume trade is executed by algorithmic trading based on advanced trading strategies to attain higher precision and speed than traditional human traders. The conventional strategies focused on price-based indicators are inadequate in capturing the market dynamism arising from real-world events such as social sentiments, political instability, or sudden economic shifts. With the rise of Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) and data availability, there is a requirement for more efficient algorithms that can incorporate these external factors in trading strategies. In this paper, we propose a DRL approach based on partial and deep-infusion of sentimental analysis, featuring distinct policy designs of actor-critic-based agents.

Empirical Analysis of Bitcoin Market Volatility Using Supervised Learning Approach
Hrishikesh Singh and Parul Agrawal
In International Conference on Contemporary Computing (IC3), Aug 2018
Cryptocurrencies are considered as the next model of economics and monetary exchange. In recent years, popular cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin and Ethereum witness an exponential growth in economic sphere. In this paper empirical testing of four conventional machine learning methods is performed to predict the bitcoin prices using last eight years of transactional data. Linear and polynomial regression is implemented using all the features individually. Polynomial regression, Support Vector regression and KNN regression are hyper tuned with grid search logic. Results depicted that KNN regression outperformed others models.
