In this case, the basis for the land degradation maps are vegetation indices, calculated using combinations of multispectral channels of satellite images. Evaluation of the land degradation state and trends is grounded on the analysis of land productivity maps changes over time (land productivity trend), land cover changes and carbon stocks changes.The most common methodology for the land degradation assessment is used for the UN Sustainable Development Goal 15.3.1 \"Proportion of land that is degraded over total land area\" calculation. This study considers the improvement for the calculation of land productivity / degradation based on the use of means of net primary productivity (NPP). For the NPP calculation we used open databases of satellite products of MODIS with spatial resolution 500 m and Landsat-8 with 30 m spatial resolution in the Google Earth Engine cloud platform. The satellite data for 2015 to 2019 years were used to build land productivity map and determine the areas of land degradation, productive and sustainable land for the territory of Ukraine. The use of NPP improve the land productivity assessment by consideration of agroclimatic conditions. The results were compared with product of Trends.Earth (official QGIS built-in plugin) which calculate land degradation maps by the UN methodology. The total areas of productive, degraded and sustainable land were calculated for the territory of Ukraine for 2015-2019 period.","PeriodicalId":328338,"journal":{"name":"IEEE EUROCON 2021 - 19th International Conference on Smart Technologies","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124248251","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 metaheuristic nature-inspired feature selection approaches are used for single-objective optimization task, though the major problem is their frequent premature convergence, leading to weak contribution to data mining. In this paper, we propose a novel feature selection algorithm named Reinforced Swarm Optimization (RSO) leveraging some of the existing problems in feature selection. This algorithm embeds the widely used Bee Swarm Optimization (BSO) algorithm along with Reinforcement Learning (RL) to maximize the reward of a superior search agent and punish the inferior ones. This hybrid optimization algorithm is more adaptive and robust with a good balance between exploitation and exploration of the search space. The proposed method is evaluated on 25 widely known UCI dataset containing a perfect blend of balanced and imbalanced data. The obtained results are compared with several other popular and recent feature selection algorithms with similar classifier configuration. The experimental outcome shows that our proposed model outperforms BSO in 22 out of 25 instances (88%). Moreover, experimental results also show that RSO performs the best among all the methods compared in this paper in 19 out of 25 cases (76%), establishing the superiority of our proposed method.","PeriodicalId":328338,"journal":{"name":"IEEE EUROCON 2021 - 19th International Conference on Smart Technologies","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117262708","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 this work, we present a procedure for the identification of low voltage feeders or distribution lines in smart grids that is based on the mathematical formulation of the problem as an optimization model. In particular, we define the model with 0-1 variables (as many as meters to be identified in the different feeders) and with as many restrictions as the number of points in time that are considered. Given the large size of the problem in practice, the use of conventional optimization software becomes unfeasible. Based on this approach, and making use of the linear relaxation of the problem, some analytics over the coefficients (i.e., meter loads) and the special structure of the problem itself, we have developed an iterative procedure that allows us to recover the entire solution of the initial model in an efficient way. We have carried out a computational experience on a set of anonymized real data, obtaining results that support the efficiency of the proposed procedure.","PeriodicalId":328338,"journal":{"name":"IEEE EUROCON 2021 - 19th International Conference on Smart Technologies","volume":"246 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123025681","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}

Further, due to the diverse regulatory and economic landscapes in Europe, feasibility is not granted, and concepts have to be tailor-made considering the applicable regulatory provisions. In this paper we present a novel trading concept based on supply function equilibrium (SFE) called approximated automated SFE trading algorithm (ASFET).

Companies that can analyze the trails left by their current users on their systems and know their customers better than other firms, can become one step ahead of their rivals. In this concept, representations of items become a key point when related deep learning models are investigated closer. Since the relationship between each item within a session will have a direct effect on the task that involves predicting the next item in that session, extracting these relationships among each item needs to be handled in an effective manner. Using auto encoder systems to achieve the task of revealing hidden features between items and representing these relationships in a more meaningful way, will result in both boosting current state-of-art models’ performance and offering new session-based methods that can overperform the current state-of-art models. In this paper, state-of-the-art graph neural networks SR-GNN’s and TA-GNN’s weights are initialized with item embeddings that are obtained from autoencoder with RBM layers, and the performance of the models are compared with random weight initialization. According to the proposed weight initialization, using pre-trained item embeddings will increase the performance of the recommender model. Thanks to the pre-trained item embeddings, the hidden relationship between items modeled in a better way, and the introduced model has overperformed the current state-of-art techniques.","PeriodicalId":328338,"journal":{"name":"IEEE EUROCON 2021 - 19th International Conference on Smart Technologies","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122363675","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}
