About Research 🧪
Data science is pervasive in the current world because it has many applications across various domains such as business, healthcare, education, finance, engineering, social media, entertainment and more. From sports to space science, data science with the help of machine learning, plays a crucial role in enabling us to learn from data, identify patterns and make decisions with minimal human intervention.
Materials Properties
Prediction of materials properties has been significant since miniaturization of the materials scale with requires extensive and costly experiment set-ups. Some of the materials properties that has attracted researchers includes, the band gap of optical materials, specific heat capacity and lattice constants.
Sports Scoring Analytics
Scoring Analytics is important in sports especially to determine the strategy of the player in competing with their opponents. Using predictive analytics, a player could use a correct strategy so that he or she can improve his/her winning rate againts any opponent. The study will emphasis on in-game scoring rather that pre-game prediction which would contribute more meaningful analytics.
Non-Seismic Earthquake Precursors
Non-seismic earthquake precursor research field is a multidisciplinary field that investigates the possible connection between major seismic events and various phenomena in the lithosphere, atmosphere and ionosphere. The goal of this field is to build a global database of candidate signals that can be used for earthquake forecasting.
Space Weather
Space weather research field is a field that studies the effects of the Sun's high-energy light and electrically charged particles on Earth and other planets. It also investigates the origins and dynamics of space phenomena such as solar flares, coronal mass ejections, geomagnetic storms and auroras. This field uses a fleet of solar observatories and satellites to observe and measure the Sun and our space.
Surface Plasmon Resonance Analysis and Fitting Software
This project develops a software package that uses electromagnetic theory of Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) to simulate and auto-fit the optical characteristics of a material. The software implements SPR principles into a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that allows the user to input experimental data and compare it with simulations. The software can quickly identify the material properties and display the results graphically. The software has a low error rate and functions as intended.
Badminton Scoring Analytics for Improving In-Game Player Performance
This project focussed on developing an AI algorithm to study the scoring analysis of badminton player based on historical data statistics that was available on the web. The aim of this project is to develop a scoring analysis that would be able to help badminton player to determine either to use attacking or defensive approach in order to obtain the points in order to win specific game with specific opponent. A dataset consists of BWF World Tour tournament from 2018 to 2023 is used to study the pattern.
Near-real Time Monitoring of Space Pi2 Pulsations
Pi2 pulsations are irregular magnetic fluctuations with periods of 40-150 seconds that occur in the Earth's magnetosphere. They are associated with substorm onsets and pulsed reconnection in the magnetotail. Studying Pi2 pulsations can help us understand the dynamics and coupling of the magnetosphere-ionosphere system. Therefore, this study aims to develop a machine learning predictive model for automatic identification of Pi2 pulsations to enable detections with maximal reliability and precision.
Predictive Model of Earthquakes Based on Electromagnetic Anomalies
This study uses automated machine learning (AutoML) to develop earthquake (EQ) prediction models based on geomagnetic anomalies. The study extracts features from 50 years of geomagnetic field data using wavelet scattering transform. The study applies AutoML to select and tune the best classification algorithm among five candidates. The study finds that neural network is the best algorithm with 83.29% accuracy.
Data Analytics of Agriculture Commodities Market Price in Malaysia
Agriculture can be seen as important by being the backbone of national economy and sources of food for human. This project studied the agriculture commodities market price in Malaysia focusing on three categories namely fruit category, poultry category and vegetable category. The types of commodities chosen are berangan banana and highlands tomato for fruits, chicken and standard chicken for poultry, and choy sum and green chilli for vegetables. The selected agriculture commodities data contained information on the date, 25 places in Malaysia, three types of prices, six types of commodities, grade, unit and average price which total up to 144 887 data collected from 1 January 2018 to 5 April 2022. 12 datasets were selected from agriculture commodities market price data at the retail level for price prediction using ARIMA model.
Prediction of Steel Price Index using Machine Learning Approach
Accurate prediction of the cost material planning phase is a crucial part of a construction project’s success. One of the most significant contributors to deviations from the initial estimated cost in construction projects is material price fluctuation. Even though many researchers have highlighted the relationship between economic conditions and construction costs, an accurate prediction of the impact of this relationship to the prices of steel has yet to be achieved. This project uses four different algorithms which are PSO-SVR and ARIMAX. Here, the PSO-SVR algorithm utilizes three different types of kernel function which is linear, polynomial and radial basis function (RBF). The comparison between these algorithms proved that RBF PSO-SVR model gives the lowest value of RMSE which is USD 60.76, respectively
