1. INTRODUCTION
A business can be defined as an enterprising entity or an
organization cons isting of people and ass ets, that is involved
in professional, commercial or indus trial activities to make a
monetary prof it. A business can be considered as the
backbone of the modern economy. The size o f a business
can range from a s mall indus try that offers its s ervices in a
small town to a very large group of indus tries that is located
in many different countries. Businesses can be owned by a
single person as well as many thousands of people [1].
There are many types and forms of businesses and all of
them have been affected by modern technology especially
the larger corporations. In fact, many large companies like
Google, Facebook, Amazon are at a war of technology.
Technology in todays modern world is rap idly
improving and is making a huge impact in all sectors of the
modern world [2]. It has impacted on medical diagnos is,
bus iness and many vital sectors [32]. Many businesses in
today’s wor ld have started using modern cutting edge
technology to accelerate their growth and to skyrocket their
profits. Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Big Data,
Internet Of Things (IoT) have co mpletely transformed
bus iness environments and the way people do business. In
the present day, there is not a single field of work that has
not explored the use cases of AI [27]. The uses of AI and
different computational technologies being used in the
manufacturing industries as well as technology industries
can be seen. It has been well documented that machines can
outperform or at leas t match human be ings in a wide range
of activities including emotion-sens ing, tacit judgement and
automation activities [31]. It has been estimated that
computational technologies could take over as much as 47%
of the current jobs in the world in as little as 10 years [3].
Technology has had a huge impact in the economic world
and the rapid developments in technology in the upcoming
years will have completely change the landscape of the
current economy. So, it is paramount to have an
understanding of how the current cutting edge technologies
are impacting the business world. AI is not only being used
to automate tedious manual work but it has also been
successfully us ed to do jobs that require higher-order
creative thinking such as the works of journalists , attorneys,
lab technicians, para legals etc. [3]. Due to AI and other
computational technologies , many jobs are replaced by
computational technologies, but th is is only for lo w-skilled
jobs such as clerical work. The demand for high skilled jobs
and jobs that require the creation of such computational
systems have increased and is s peedily increasing. Soni et
al. [4] in their paper analy ze 100 AI startups in the world
and describe a very interesting finding. The total
investments in the 100 companies they investigated were
$25.88 million in 2011 which increas ed to $1866.6 million

in 2016. In just 6 years the funding in these companies
increased by a whopping 7112.52%. These figures give an
idea of how artificial intelligence and big data is stirring the
current bus iness scenario.
Fig.1. Bar graph of the total investment every year of the 100 AI st art ups
as analysed by Soni et al. [4]
Artificial intelligence and big data are being used in
various aspects of businesses to improve profits or to speed
up laborious work and thus accelerate bus iness growth.
Many works that would have ta ken thous ands of hours for a
human to complete can be done in a matter of minutes by an
automated system. Many companies like cognizant develop
artificially intelligent systems to improve bus iness processes
and revenue [5]. In one cas e the software company
Cognizant developed a s olution of optimum equip ment
utilization using data analysis for a global mining co mpany
that saved $30 million in the capital due to higher
availability of equipment. Thus can be seen that AI and data
analys is is being heavily used in the modern indus try to cut
costs and optimize profits for the bus iness thus accelerating
growth.
2. RELATED WORKS
The major areas in f inance and business where artificial
intelligence and big data solutions are playing a role a re
loan/ins urance underwriting, fraud detection, customer
service, sentiment/news analysis, algorithmic trading,
portfolio manage ment, marketing, reco mmendation systems
of financial products, advertisement recommendation etc.
Some of the AI techniques and their us es in these areas of
bus ines s are discus sed below.
A. Fraud Detection
Fraud is one of the most substantial crises in today’s
economic world. Business es all around the world lose
billions of dollars due to fraudulent activity. According to
various sources, the total fraud los ses reached $27.85 billion
in 2018 and this figure has been estimated to rise to $40.63
billion in the co ming ten year period [6]. Th is figure is mo re
than the annual GDP o f many third world countries.
Therefore, co mputational systems that are capable of
detecting and catching fraudulent activities is quintessential,
because doing so would rapidly accelerate business and
economic growth. Researchers have devised many systems
that incorporate artificial intelligence and machine learning
to create s uch systems. All fraud detection techniques can
generally be classified into two categories, anomaly
detection and misuse detection [7]. Ano maly detection
learns the trans action behaviour of a certain customer and
any new trans action made by the customer is classified as
normal or anomalous according to past transactions made by
that customer. M isuse detection creates the model using a
labelled data set of a ll the customers, and fraudulent activity
is determined according to the general fraudulent patterns .
Awoyemi et al. [8] co mpare t raditional mach ine learning
models for cred it card fraud detection. A datas et consisting
of 284,807 credit card trans actions fro m European
cardholders was used. Since fraud dataset is highly skewed,
oversampling, undersampling techniques along with no
sampling was also used for better and more accurate
comparison. Their paper co mpared naive Bayes class ifier,
logistic regression classifier and k-nearest neighbour
class ifier [9]. All of these are misuse detection techniques.
The naive Bayes classifier gave 97.92% accuracy, the
logistic regression classifier gave 54.86% accuracy and the
k - neares t neighbour classifier gave 97.69% accuracy.
Logistic regression gives much lower accuracy and this is
apparent because it cannot learn non - linear functions.
Xuan et al. [7] in their paper mention a random forest
algorithm for credit card fraud detection. The dataset used
by them comes from a Chinese e-commerce company.
Random forest is an ensemble learning method in which a
set of decision trees is created, and every tree is made with
an independent data set. The performance of the rando m
forest depends on the strength of each tree and the
correlation between the trees [28]. The higher the strength of
each tree and the lower the correlation between the trees , the
better the performance of the algorithm. Xuan et al use two
different random forest models and compare their
performance on the dataset. The two random fores ts differ in
their bas e classifier i.e individual tree in the model. The first
random fores t us es a s imple decision tree as the base
class ifier and the s econd random forest uses
CART(classification and regress ion) trees as the base
class ifier. The accuracy of the first random forest co mes out

to be 91.96% and the accuracy of the second model co mes
out to be 96.77%.
Randhawa et al. [10] co mpare the performance of about
12 machine learning algorithms on credit card fraud
detection. They use a public credit card transaction datas et.
They also us e ensemble methods which use adaptive
boosting and majority voting for classifying an instance.
They experiment on 7 ensemble methods which use
majority voting. The best accuracy was given by an
ens emble of Neural Network and Na ive Bayes classifier.
This ensemble had an accuracy of 99.941% on the dataset
they used. In the real world, co mpanies generally use
ens emble methods for fraud detection.
B. Algorithmic Trading
Trading is one of the key concepts in economics and
bus iness. Trading can loosely be defined as the buying and
selling of an economic entity such as goods, stocks,
currency etc. Trading is undertaken by individuals and
bus inesses to earn a profit. The trading process generally
consists of 4 components, pre-trade analysis, trading signal
generation, trade e xecution and pos t-trade analysis [11].
Algorith mic trad ing can be loos ely defined as the
automation of any of the co mbination of these steps or all of
these s teps. Artificial Intelligence has completely
trans formed this area of business by automating the trading
process and many trading a lgorithms can c reate profit
without any human intervention. A lgorith mic trad ing us ing
artificial intelligence has had a huge impact on bus ines s and
growth.
Fig. 2. Steps in a complete algorit hmic trading system
Roondiwal et al. [12] propose a learning algorith m that
can be used to predict stock prices . The dataset that they use
is of New York s tock e xchange and the dataset consists of
the data, the open price, the close price, the volume. The us e
LSTM ( Long Short Te rm Me mory) which is a type of
recurrent neural network. LSTMs incorporates a me mory
cell which corresponds to neurons in traditional artificial
neural networks. Thes e memory cells can associate
memories in the input and grasp the structure of data and
hence make the prediction accurate. The LSTM they used
consisted of a sequential input layer after which co mes the 2
LSTM layers and a dense layer which uses ReLU activation
function and then finally the output layer which uses the
linear activation function. Roondiwala et a l conducted
various experiments tweaking different parameters and the
best performing LSTM displayed a n RMSE(Root mean
square error) of 0.00859 which is unbelievably low and
hence proved that A rtificial intelligence can be effect ively
used to predict s tock prices.
Colianni et al. [13] us e sentiment analysis to predict the
prices of bitcoins. They use an open-source API to gather
the tweets with the keyword bitcoin. Then the features are
extracted from the tweet in the form of words and their
counts. This feature then becomes an input to the
class ification algorithm which tells the bitcoin price will
increase or decreas e. The classification algorithms
mentioned in their paper are naive bayes clas sifier and
support vector machines. The SVM gives better accuracy
according to their paper. Their a lgorithm is limited in the
sense that it doesn’t tell what the increasing percentage of
the decrease percentage will be, however, bitcoin price
prediction using sentiment analysis in twitter is an
interesting application of artificial intelligence.
C. Customer Service
Artificial Intelligence and data science solutions have
also been us ed to automate customer service [14]. W ith AI
technology businesses no longer need to hire dedicated
customer service officials. A 24/7 chatbot can answer the
different queries of customers and this practice is s een
wide ly s uccessful in the last few years in different
bus inesses. A I can handle questions of the customers from a
huge knowledge database it has learnt from. This
substantially decreas es the hiring cost of a co mpany, and the
same work can be done with much less money, thus
empowering the growth of the business.
Cui et al. [15] developed a chatbot called s uperagent that
acts as a cus tomer service provider for e-co mmerce websites
like amazon. It is an add on and it can work on any e-
commerce website. The system first crawls the page of the
product that the user searches for and gathers the
information from the page. The system uses state of the art
NLP techniques to interpret the question that the user asks
it. To find informat ion regarding the s ubject matter asked
the system uses deep learning models and recurrent neural
networks and further us es NLP to answer the questions in
English. Super agent system has 3 engines that are
effectively used to answer the questions of the customers.
The first engine is FACT QA that is us ed to answer
questions related to the product informat ion like “what is the
specification of the CPU”. The second engine is FAQ search

for cus tomer QA pairs. This engine is used to answer
questions like “does it come with ink” etc. The third engine
is Opinion-Oriented Te xt QA used for reviews. This engine
is used to answer questions like “what do you think o f the
des ign of the cup”.The s ystem is also capable of answering
small talk ques tions such as hello etc. Systems like these can
potentially save millions of dollars for a company.
D. Marketing and Product Recommendation
Artificial Intelligence and big data have had a
considerable impact on marketing as well. Data -driven
marketing strategies are much more e ffective than using
human-based marketing strategies. These days youtube.
Facebook, Ins tagram and almost all s ocial media uses
artificial intelligence and machine learn ing systems to
display individualized and personalized advertisements . A
person that is interes ted in guitar is much more likely to be
shown an advertisement re lated to guitar in s uch platforms.
Marketing is arguably the mos t heavily affected area in
bus iness due to artificial intelligence. The centre piece in
marketing today is customer analytics using big data and the
interpretation of this data using various machine learning
models that produce amazing and profitable insights [16].
Sundsoy et al. [17] experimented on an MNO(mobile
network operator) in Asia compar ing big data-driven
marketing strategies to traditional human-bas ed marketing
strategies. The company often used to send marketing SM S
to selected customers regarding some data packs and hope
that the customer would buy it. The customers were selected
by marketing officials. In their experiment sundsoy et al
divides customers into a control group and treatment group.
The control group was selected by the marketing officials of
the company whereas the treatment group was s elected by
using some data-driven machine learning mode ls. After the
experiment, they found that the conversion rate i.e the
customers who were willing to buy the marketed data pack
was 13 times higher in the treatment group(group selected
using data-driven models) than the control group(group
selected by marketing officials). They tested using different
mach ine learning models such as artificial neural networ ks,
support vector machines, and the final model was a
bootstrapped decision tree. This e xperiment clearly shows
the power of data-driven analyt ics and how it can impact
and accelerate business growth. Product Recommendation
in webs ites is also another form of marketing that is widely
being used in today’s world.
Paradarami et al. [18] propose a hybrid reco mmender
system for recommending business products. Their
recommendation s ystem consists of a deep artificial neura l
network that uses reviews along with content -based features
and collaborative features to create accurate
recommendations. This paper demonstrates that ANN
trained for a specific c lass of bus iness can generalize into
other classes of business as well and recommend products
for other class es very effectively as well. It a lso generalizes
into different types of users as well and hence the s calability
of the recommendation system is dras tically improved. This
approach only requires model para meters to be saved in the
memory unlike memo ry-based recommendation systems,
this significantly decreas ing digital memory footprint and
greatly increasing scalability. Their approach can also be
used to implement real-time reco mmendation systems which
work in an instant due to the speed of their s ys tem.

E. Cyber Security
Cybercrime is one of the greatest threats to mankind in
the modern world. It is the most prominent threat to any
modern business in the current day. It has been estimated
that the loss due to cybercrimes is projected to reach $6
trillion by 2021, which is staggeringly huge. Technologies
and strategies to fight cybercrime are para mount in business.
Many business es have gone bankrupt due to cybercrimes.
Effective cybersecurity technology against cybercrimes will
invariably help the growth and sustenance of a bus iness [19].
Artificial intelligence and machine learning have been
successfully used to fight against cybercrimes. Application
of machine learning in cyber c rimes is generally categorized
into three categories, intrusion detection, malware analysis
and phishing detection [20].

Kim et a l. [21] us ed Long short term memory ( LSTMs )
which is a type of Recurrent neural network fo r intrusion
detection in cybers ecurity systems. The data set they used to
conduct their e xperiments was KDD Cup 1999 datas et.
4,898,431 network traffics were present in the data s et and
each traffic cons isted of 41 features like IP address etc and
22 attacks are differentiated according to their
characteristics. In their experiment, they co mpared many
different machine learn ing algorithms and LSTM -RNN has
the highest accuracy of 96.93%. Another application of
machine learning in cybersecurity is phishing detection.
Gupta et al. [22] p ropose an artificial neural network
with particle swarm optimization(PSO) to detect phishing
URLs. The PSO techniques are used widely because of its
robustness and short computational time [29]. Moreover,
they also have an easy implementation [30]. In their paper,
they compare back propagation neural network and part
PSO neural network and they find that in their dataset, PSO

the number of hidden neurons was 67 and the activation
function used was tansig. The highest accuracy that the
Backpropagation algorithm gave was 96.81% when the
number of hidden neurons was 21 and the activation
function was logs ig. Machine learning is heavily influencing
the field of cybersecurity and many co mpanies are using it
to fight cybercrimes and save billions of dollars.
3. FURTHER APPLICATIONS AND DISCUSS ION
Table I shows the past works that have been done in the
last five years or so. The works show that there are ample
areas where artificial intelligence can be used to grow
bus iness in a lot of ways ranging fro m fraud detections to
product recommendation. The recent use of chatbots in
customer service e xperience was a hugely celebrated
success and it shows that there is a great s cope of AI in
bus iness analytics. Similarly, s mall stock traders and bitcoin
traders also use Business analytics to build predictive
models.
In the above section, various papers on artificial
intelligence and data s cience pertaining to the use cases in
bus iness and finance have been discussed. However, AI is
not jus t limited to the above-mentioned areas of finance.
There are a lot more areas of finance and business in which
artificial intelligence and data science have been
successfully used to make huge progres s in a part icular field.
AI is increas ing the efficiency and productivity across the
entire value chain in a business process, right-front the
mo ment the business model is developed to the moment the
bus iness product goes to the hands of the customer. AI is
revolutionizing the busines s process.
One interesting application of AI in bus iness technology
is automatic retail transactions in supermarkets. Amazon
with its Amazon Go retail stores are using this technology.
There are recognition sens ors of various kinds throughout
the s tore that sense what the customer is picking up int the
store and they automatically charge the customer without
the customer having to checkout through the traditional
process [23]. Another area in wh ich data science and AI has
had immense value is credit scoring. AI and ML algorithms
have been successfully used to give a credit score to
cus tomers given the customer data.
Artificial intelligence has also been successfully us ed in
portfolio manage ment. Port folio manage ment is the robust
decision-making process in which funds are allocated in
different types of inves tment products to reduce the risk of
losing too much money. Jiang et a l. [24] propose a
deterministic deep reinforcement learning method for
solving the portfolio management problem when investing
in cryptocurrencies. Their approach doesn’t rely on any
financial theory hence, it is robust and can be extended to
any other financial mar kets as well. Liu et a l. [25] propose a
one-layer recurrent artificial neural network for solving
linear ps eudoconvex optimizat ion problems with constraints
for dynamic portfolio optimizations to improve profits and
reduce the loss of inves tment opportunities.
A lot of Quantitative Finance is another field of business
in which machine learning has played a huge role.
Spiegeleer et a l. [26] propose various machine learning
models for solving traditional quantitative finance problems
like hedging, curve fitting, derivative pricing. They have
also given a novel idea which used a Bayes ian non-
parametric technique called the GPR. They us e ML models
to fit s ophisticated greek profiles and s ummarise different
implied volatility s urfaces.
According to an article published in the Harvard
bus iness review [3 3], three kinds of artificial intelligence are
taking over the bus iness industry. The first kind is process
automation. This included reading contractual and legal
documents using s tate of the art NLP techniques and
extracting and interpreting it using different intelligent
models, transferring relevant data and information fro m call
centre s ystems and emails to the databases of the company.
The second kind is cognitive ins ights. This kind of system
solves problems like what the customer is more likely to buy,
analyze d ifferent wa rranty data to correctly identify quality
problems or s afety in different manufactured problems.
provide insurance companies w ith detailed and more
accurate modelling. The third kind mentioned in the article
is cognitive engagement. This includes systems like
recommendation systems for health treatment that help us ers
get a customized care plan that takes into account each
user's health history and different data. In that article, the
author’s reviewed 152 different use cases of artificial
intelligence in business systems, among which 47% fell into
the process automation category, 38% fell into the cognitive
insights category and 16% fell into the cognitive
engagement category.
4. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORKS
In this paper, s everal applicat ions of mach ine learning,
deep learning and data science in the context of bus iness and
their growth have been reviewed. AI has utterly trans for med
the business world, and many people in today’s world have
been working side by side with artificial intelligen ce
systems to solve complex problems in the world and make a
profit out of the s olution. AI has been s een used in various
areas of the business to accelerate its growth. So me fie lds
which have been discussed in this paper are marketing,
customer service, algorithmic t rading, f raud detection,
cybersecurity, portfolio management, sentiment analysis,
credit scoring.
AI has been used successfully to drive the modern
economic wo rld and it w ill be a key player in s haping the

future. Today’s AI is not even as intelligent as human
beings yet it has had a massive impact in the world. The AI
of tomorrow will undoubtedly change the way the business
and how businesses function is seen. Once AI reaches a
certain level, might be able to see systems that can hire
people into a co mpany. Art ificial Intelligent systems might
someday take over the work of a CEO and might overlook
bus inesses and how they function. In the future, AI systems
might do every job from building a business model to
supplying it into the market rendering human intervention

Even though every individual is entitled to freedom of speech, some limitations exist when this freedom is used to target and harm another individual or a group of people, as it translates to hate speech. In this study, the proposed research deals with detection of hate speech for English and Kiswahili languages from audio. The dataset used in this work was collected manually from YouTube videos and then converted to audio. Audio-based features namely spectral, temporal, prosodic and excitation source features were extracted and used to train various machine learning classifiers. Initial experiments were conducted for English language and later on for Kiswahili language. However, it is observed from literature that research activities on Kiswahili language is comparatively lesser. The scores calculated for accuracy, recall, precision, auc and f1 score in detecting hate speech, suggest that Random Forest classifier performed better for English language while the Extreme Gradient Boosting classifier performed better for Kiswahili language.

Counterfeiting of currency is a growing problem due to advancements in color printing technology, impacting economies worldwide. Fake money is often used for criminal activities, including terrorism. Research indicates that developing countries, like India, are particularly affected. One solution proposed involves analyzing the image of counterfeit currency through pre-processing steps such as converting from RGB to grayscale. This approach aims to tackle the issue of counterfeit currency circulation effectively. After converting the text, the image is divided into sections, its characteristics are assessed, relationships are identified, and a decision is made to determine if the image is authentic or counterfeit. Counterfeit currency continues to be a notable problem. Financial institutions and other establishments have the necessary resources to confirm the legitimacy of money. However, the average person does not have access to such equipment, making it essential to have counterfeit money detection software that can be used by anyone. This study achieves a maximum accuracy of 81% when analyzing 50 Indian currency notes with a denomination of 2000 rupees. This initiative offers a comprehensive overview of a counterfeit detection system that is accessible to the general public. The proposed system uses image processing to distinguish real currency from counterfeit money. The entire software has been developed using the Python programming language.

The progress of the digital economy has promoted the enterprise accounting system. To accelerate the update and evolution of accounting systems, we propose a parameter selection method based on multi-objective optimization and genetic algorithm. Firstly, this article proposes an accounting feature extraction method based on multimodal information embedding. The dual-branch structure and feature pyramid network are used to realize the feature extraction of the information involved in accounting. Then, this article proposes a multi-objective parameter selection method based on a parallel genetic algorithm. By embedding a genetic algorithm in the process of dual-branch model training, the model’s ability to sense accounting information is improved. Finally, using the above two methods, an accounting system evaluation method upon recurrent Transformer is proposed to improve the financial situation of enterprises. Our experiments have proven that our approach attains a remarkable performance with an 87.6% F-value, 83.5% mAP value, and 83.4% accuracy. These results position our method at an advanced level globally, showcasing its capability to enhance accounting systems.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder resulting in memory loss and cognitive decline caused due to the death of brain cells. It is the most common form of dementia and accounts for 60-80% of all dementia cases. There is no single test for diagnosis of AD, the doctors rely on medical history, neuropsychological assessments, computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the brain, etc. to confirm a diagnosis. In terms of the treatment, currently, there is neither a cure nor any way to slow the progression of AD. However, for people with mild or moderate stages of this disease, there are some medications available to temporarily reduce symptoms and help to improve quality of life. Hence, early diagnosis of AD is extremely crucial for overall better management of the disease. The researches have shown some relation between neuropsychological scores and atrophies of the brain. This can be leveraged for the early diagnosis of AD. This paper makes use of feature selection techniques to extract the most important features in the diagnosis of AD. This paper demonstrates the need to combine neuropsychological scores like mini-mental state examination (MMSE) with MRI features to provide better decisional space for the early diagnosis of AD. Through the experiments, including MMSE along with other features are found to improve the classification of AD, significantly.

With growing number of ageing population, Parkinson's disease has become a serious problem to huge fraction of people above 60. The disease severely affects the motor system and can lead to death of the patients. There is no cure available for the disease. The symptoms on motor system is seen very late which leads into difficulty in management of the disease. There is no cure for the disease which makes it more difficult when the disease is diagnosed later. For early stages of Parkinson's disease, there are some medications to improve the symptoms. There are certain symptoms like slurred speech, problems in utterances, etc. which are seen earlier. These symptoms can be leveraged to diagnose the disease in its earlier stages. Recently, computers and machine learning algorithms have been widely used in diagnosis of various diseases. Speech attributes can be analyzed using machine learning algorithms to build predictive models for detection of Parkinson's disease. In this paper, twin-support vector machine (TSVM) based on feature selection technique has been discussed along with other ML techniques for the early diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. Feature selection based TSVM has shown promising results in classification of Parkinson's disease patients from healthy subjects.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of neurodegenerating disorder accounting for 60–80% of all dementia cases. The lack of effective clinical treatment options to completely cure or even slow the progression of disease makes it even more serious. Treatment options are available to treat the milder stage of the disease to provide symptomatic short-term relief and improve quality of life. Early diagnosis is key in the treatment and management of AD as advanced stages of disease cause severe cognitive decline and permanent brain damage. This has prompted researchers to explore innovative ways to detect AD early on. Changes in speech are one of the main signs of AD patients. As the brain deteriorates the language processing ability of the patients deteriorates too. Previous research has been done in the English language using Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques for early detection of AD. However, research using local languages and low resourced language like Nepali still lag behind. NLP is an important tool in Artificial Intelligence to decipher the human language and perform various tasks. In this paper, various classifiers have been discussed for the early detection of Alzheimer’s in the Nepali language. The proposed study makes a convincing conclusion that the difficulty in processing information in AD patients reflects in their speech while describing a picture. The study incorporates the speech decline of AD patients to classify them as control subjects or AD patients using various classifiers and NLP techniques. Furthermore, in this experiment a new dataset consisting of transcripts of AD patients and Control normal (CN) subjects in the Nepali language. In addition, this paper sets a baseline for the early detection of AD using NLP in the Nepali language.

Study of the ionosphere is important for research in various domains. Especially in communication systems, this study holds a great importance. In ionospheric research, there is a need to delineate useful and non-useful radar returns from the ionosphere. The useful radar returns can be used for further analysis and non-useful radar returns can be discarded. When the usefulness of radar returns is analyzed by humans, it is simply time-consuming and is prone to more human errors. Thus, some machine learning methods are needed to delineate useful and non-useful radar returns. The various machine learning algorithms (classical learning algorithms and ensemble learners) as well as deep learning models are tested in this study. After 10-fold cross validation, the highest accuracy by Random Forest was 94.22% and the accuracy for a single layer neural network was 99.43%.
