In kNN classification, fuzzy sets are used to obtain the membership degrees of each point to the classes known as fuzzy kNN (FkNN) classification. Although the FkNN classifier enhances the performance of the kNN, it does not consider the effect of noisy and redundant instances, which makes it ineffective. Moreover, the performance of kNN is dependent on the value of k (number of nearest neighbours).

However, TSVM ignores the data distribution of class, which makes TSVM sensitive to noise. In this paper, a fuzzy twin support vector machine based on centered kernel alignment (FTSVM-CKA) is proposed to solve the problem that TSVM is sensitive to noise. Firstly, a feature-weighted kernel function is constructed by using the information gain, and it is applied to the calculation of the centered kernel alignment (CKA). This assigns greater weight to strongly correlated features, emphasizing their classification importance over weakly correlated features. Secondly, the CKA method is utilized to derive a heuristic function for calculating the dependency between samples and their corresponding labels, which assigns fuzzy membership to different samples. Based on this, a fuzzy membership assignment strategy is proposed that can effectively address the sensitivity of TSVM to noise. Thirdly, this strategy is combined with TSVM to propose the FTSVM-CKA model. Moreover, this study employs a coordinate descent strategy with shrinking by active set to tackle the computational complexity arising from high-dimensional inputs. This can effectively accelerate the training speed of the model while ensuring classification performance. In order to evaluate the performance of FTSVM-CKA, this study conducts experiments designed on artificial and UCI datasets. The results demonstrate that FTSVM-CKA can efficiently and quickly solve binary classification problems with noise.</p>","PeriodicalId":22039,"journal":{"name":"Soft Computing","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141779086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two of the essential factors are the price and the service quality. The seller's credibility is also among the influential factors in selecting a service that is reinforced by advertising. The emergence of the Internet has led to increasing attention by sellers to advertising through online group buying (OGB) platforms. Sellers aim to attract new customers by offering discounts on OGB platforms. In this paper, the seller can sell its service through offline and online channels during two current and future courses. The aim is to determine the optimal strategy for the seller when deciding to join the OGB platform. All parameters of the problem are determined as fuzzy variables. Accordingly, this paper develops a fuzzy mathematical model to simultaneously determine price, service quality, and advertising level in a dual channel supply chain. A cooperative game between the seller and the OGB platform is developed under different refunding and revenue sharing scenarios for the centralized model. The optimal solutions of the problem are then defined using the game and fuzzy sets theories for each scenario. A numerical example is presented to indicate the effectiveness of the theoretical results of the models and developing management insights.

Researchers have harnessed machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) algorithms to combat this challenge, particularly in disparate environments. Numerous techniques have been created to classify false news based on various textual features, including deep learning, machine learning, and evolutionary methodologies. Although fake news sentiment analysis is not entirely new, sentiment score-based artificial news analysis is rarely used. Our method incorporates machine learning techniques and deep learning techniques, such as LSTM-BiLSTM, with SentiWordNet parser-obtained sentiment scores. This integration improves feature sets and enables a more detailed analysis of emotional context. This research pioneers using machine learning along with deep learning techniques based on sentiment scores, an innovative approach within the field. Our research substantially improves the detection of false news. Recall and F-measure are significantly enhanced using machine learning techniques with the COVID-19 dataset. Moreover, sentiment-based deep learning techniques used for both the LIAR and COVID-19 datasets surpass previous benchmarks, obtaining a remarkable accuracy improvement of over 15% on the LIAR dataset compared to existing literature.

The main objective of the proposed EMS is to improve power performance, fuel cell lifetime, and fuel consumption while considering the regulation of the DC-bus voltage. The proposed EMS is designed based on a frequency-decoupling technique using an adaptive low-pass filter, Harr wavelet transform (HWT), and FLC to decouple the required power into low, medium, and high-frequency components for fuel cell, battery, and supercapacitor, respectively. The presented frequency-decoupling-based strategy can improve the power performance of the vehicle as well as reduce load stress and power fluctuation in the fuel cell. Nevertheless, the neural network optimization algorithm (NNOA) is employed to optimize the membership functions of FLCs while considering the hydrogen consumption and constraints on the state of charge (SOC) of the battery and supercapacitor. To achieve robustness and high precision control, the ASTSMC is developed based on a nonlinear disturbance observer (NDOB) to stabilize the DC-bus voltage and currents of the energy sources, ensuring that the fuel cell, battery, and supercapacitor track their obtained reference values. The FCHEV system with the proposed EMS is modeled on MATLAB/Simulink, and three typical driving cycles such as HWFET, UDDS, and WLTP driving schedules are used for evaluation.

High correlation among pixels is an important property of image data and pixels surrounding a particular pixel possess similar feature information. Therefore, it is extremely essential to consider the spatial information to generate a meaningful segmented image. The traditional fuzzy clustering approach is not suitable for exploiting spatial information. Therefore, this work is designed to explore spatial information and find the optimal clusters from biomedical images with the help of the fuzzy-modified cuckoo search approach.
