Therefore, forecasting of solar radiation is necessary before using solar energy systems. In this paper, the researchers present an accuracy MAMDANI fuzzy inference system for solar radiation prediction with meteorological data. This system is based with a two-stage method for Fuzzy Rules Learning through Clustering (FRLC). In the first stage, the subtractive clustering is used to extract the fuzzy rules, the second stage is a linguistic approximation and a refinement of the learned solutions with linguistic hedges. FRLC is compared to multilayer feed-forward neural network and support vector regression. The results of the experiments show the efficacy of linguistic fuzzy rules in the forecasting of solar radiation. In parallel with the prediction, the model provides a good balance between interpretability and accuracy.","PeriodicalId":250715,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Intelligent Systems: Theories and Applications","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121887934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The antenna has a simple design with a bandpass filter incorporated in its ground plane. The frequency tunability capability of the antenna is achieved by varying varactor diodes capacitance, which leads to changing the effective length of the bandpass filter slots, as a result the operating frequency continuously tuned from 3.4 to 3.8 GHz. The designed antenna is modeled in CST, then verified using HFSS and ADS. The simulated antenna performance is analyzed in detail including the return loss, radiation patterns, and gain. The obtained results show that the developed antenna is very suitable for picocell base stations, especially for the 5G/Sub-6 GHz band.","PeriodicalId":250715,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Intelligent Systems: Theories and Applications","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123108915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In fact, Multi Criteria Decision Making methods help Decision Makers (DMs) deal with the evaluation of multiple alternatives with taking into account their preferences expressed as numerous criteria. Controlling stocks in multi-echelon inventory systems presents many challenges due to the complexity of the supply chains and the inter-dependencies between their nodes. In particular, choosing a multi-echelon inventory policy to send a batch from an installation to another may depend to the inventory status at all sites, which make this decision difficult to take. Most of the time, the Decision Maker seems to be looking for fitting the decision problem to the MCDM method framework and not adjusting the method to the problem situation. We aim in this paper to guide DMs choose the appropriate MCDM method that will aid them select the best multi-echelon inventory policies to adopt for their supply chains. A comparison of different MCDM methods with the use of a set of evaluation criteria will be established in this research work. We intend to provide a framework for comparing multiple MCDM methods for the multi-echelon inventory system selection problem.","PeriodicalId":250715,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Intelligent Systems: Theories and Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131898381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Regarding to its high importance in taking and extracting decisional information, the light of research is still shed on it. The first step of a sentiment analysis system is the construction of the basic knowledge, namely the linguistic resources. The classical methods of lexicon building are manual, semi-automatic, or automatic. Both the manual and semi-automatic methods need a manual check that is time and effort consuming whereas the automatic approach neglects word semantic. Herein, we intend to automate the lexicon extraction method as well as giving accurate polarity. In order to perform this task and achieve satisfying results, we extract a Bag-of-Words and we then apply many filters on it to keep only clean and sentimental terms. This paper also explores the effectiveness of a supervised approach based on the Bag-of-Words model in defining sentiment polarity of the processed reviews in order to shed the light on its usefulness.","PeriodicalId":250715,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Intelligent Systems: Theories and Applications","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132594642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This engine allows for filtering and personalized search by providing adapted resources to the users' profiles on the one hand; on the other hand, to making a combination of the collaborative, the content-based and the semantic filtering to propose other additional resources. The semantic filtering is based on the exploitation of SPARQL queries from the system that we propose. They are executed on a remote server containing reusable vocabularies and formalized according to the linked data principles and technologies, such as the Lod Cloud. The result obtained is a set of linked terms to the keywords specified in the search query. These terms are then used to extend the search. We used a search test-set by keywords entered via a form and then we manually analyzed the linked terms obtained and the documents returned. The results obtained by our approach are satisfactory.","PeriodicalId":250715,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Intelligent Systems: Theories and Applications","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129541937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is even clearer with recommendation algorithms that use traditional collaborative filtering as they struggle through identifying more helpful, user friendly and easy learning resources. On top of that, the incoherent recommended content and the compound and nonlinear data on online learning users cannot be effectively handled, thus making the recommendations less efficient. To increase the level of efficiency of learning resource recommendations, this paper introduces a two steps efficient resource recommendation model. this model is based on unsupervised deep learning machine to identify learning styles and users' clusters, and a sentiment analyzer bonus system, based on user experience, to improve or decrease recommender items list classification. The model integrates also teachers to incite them to enhance the quality and the success rate of appropriate selected items. The elaboration of such a model requires the use of a considerable quantity of data learners' features, course content and assessment attributes. Furthermore, this model needs to incorporate learner interactions features. These are the requirements to build Learner features vector as input for the first step and Learner-Content ratings vector to choose the more efficient learning resource to recommend.","PeriodicalId":250715,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Intelligent Systems: Theories and Applications","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123427043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
