This paper illustrates the similarities between the problems of customer churn and employee turnover. An example of employee turnover prediction model leveraging classical machine learning techniques is developed. Model outputs are then discussed to design & test employee retention policies. This type of retention discussion is, to our knowledge, innovative and constitutes the main value of this paper.

In higher educational institutes, many students have to struggle hard to complete different courses since there is no dedicated support offered to students who need special attention in the registered courses. Machine learning techniques can be utilized for students grades prediction in different courses. Such techniques would help students to improve their performance based on predicted grades and would enable instructors to identify such individuals who might need assistance in the courses. In this paper, we use Collaborative Filtering (CF), Matrix Factorization (MF), and Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBM) techniques to systematically analyze a real-world data collected from Information Technology University (ITU), Lahore, Pakistan. We evaluate the academic performance of ITU students who got admission in the bachelors degree program in ITUs Electrical Engineering department. The RBM technique is found to be better than the other techniques used in predicting the students performance in the particular course.
Nowadays, human resource is an important part of various resources of enterprises. For enterprises, high-loyalty and high-quality talented persons are often the core competitiveness of enterprises. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to predict whether employees leave and reduce the turnover rate of employees. First, this paper established a multi-layer perceptron predictive model of employee turnover rate. A model based on Sarsa which is a kind of reinforcement learning algorithm is proposed to automatically generate a set of strategies to reduce the employee turnover rate. These strategies are a collection of strategies that can reduce the employee turnover rate the most and cost less from the perspective of the enterprise, and can be used as a reference plan for the enterprise to optimize the employee system. The experimental results show that the algorithm can indeed improve the efficiency and accuracy of the specific strategy.
In recent years, AI generated art has become very popular. From generating art works in the style of famous artists like Paul Cezanne and Claude Monet to simulating styles of art movements like Ukiyo-e, a variety of creative applications have been explored using AI. Looking from an art historical perspective, these applications raise some ethical questions. Can AI model artists styles without stereotyping them? Does AI do justice to the socio-cultural nuances of art movements? In this work, we take a first step towards analyzing these issues. Leveraging directed acyclic graphs to represent potential process of art creation, we propose a simple metric to quantify confounding bias due to the lack of modeling the influence of art movements in learning artists styles. As a case study, we consider the popular cycleGAN model and analyze confounding bias across various genres. The proposed metric is more effective than state-of-the-art outlier detection method in understanding the influence of art movements in artworks. We hope our work will elucidate important shortcomings of computationally modeling artists styles and trigger discussions related to accountability of AI generated art.
Datasets in the Natural Sciences are often curated with the goal of aiding scientific understanding and hence may not always be in a form that facilitates the application of machine learning. In this paper, we identify three trends within the fields of chemical reaction prediction and synthesis design that require a change in direction. First, the manner in which reaction datasets are split into reactants and reagents encourages testing models in an unrealistically generous manner. Second, we highlight the prevalence of mislabelled data, and suggest that the focus should be on outlier removal rather than data fitting only. Lastly, we discuss the problem of reagent prediction, in addition to reactant prediction, in order to solve the full synthesis design problem, highlighting the mismatch between what machine learning solves and what a lab chemist would need. Our critiques are also relevant to the burgeoning field of using machine learning to accelerate progress in experimental Natural Sciences, where datasets are often split in a biased way, are highly noisy, and contextual variables that are not evident from the data strongly influence the outcome of experiments.
We advance the modeling capability of electron particle precipitation from the magnetosphere to the ionosphere through a new database and use of machine learning (ML) tools to gain utility from those data. We have compiled, curated, analyzed, and made available a new and more capable database of particle precipitation data that includes 51 satellite years of Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) observations temporally aligned with solar wind and geomagnetic activity data. The new total electron energy flux particle precipitation nowcast model, a neural network called PrecipNet, takes advantage of increased expressive power afforded by ML approaches to appropriately utilize diverse information from the solar wind and geomagnetic activity and, importantly, their time histories. With a more capable representation of the organizing parameters and the target electron energy flux observations, PrecipNet achieves a >50% reduction in errors from a current state-of-the-art model oval variation, assessment, tracking, intensity, and online nowcasting (OVATION Prime), better captures the dynamic changes of the auroral flux, and provides evidence that it can capably reconstruct mesoscale phenomena. We create and apply a new framework for space weather model evaluation that culminates previous guidance from across the solar-terrestrial research community. The research approach and results are representative of the new frontier of space weather research at the intersection of traditional and data science-driven discovery and provides a foundation for future efforts.
