The antenna is intended to be implemented for mobile devices, hence a cheap and compact antenna is absolutely required. The structure of inverted-F shape is chosen for the basic design of antenna as it has some advantages such as compactness, large bandwidth and easy manufacturability. Prior hardware realization, the proposed antenna is designed and analyzed through 3D simulation software. The antenna is realized on a 1.6mm thick FR4 epoxy dielectric substrate with the total dimension of 32mm × 26mm. The characterization result shows that the realized antenna has the lower band resonant frequency of 2.34GHz with the −10dB working bandwidth of 416MHz, and the higher band resonant frequency of 3.3GHz with the −10dB working bandwidth of 802MHz in which it satisfies with the desired wireless communications.","PeriodicalId":339750,"journal":{"name":"2017 9th International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Communication Networks (CICN)","volume":"30 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115929291","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 e-commerce industry predominantly uses various machine learning models for product recommendations and analyzing a customer's behavioral patterns, which play a crucial role in exposing customers to new products based on their online behavior. Psychology studies show that if customers are shown products suited to their personality type or complementing their lifestyle, the chances of them buying the said product grow considerably. By incorporating the personality of a customer in a recommendation system, can we achieve increased level of customer-personalization? The answer to this question forms the crux of this paper. With a view to ascertain a customer's personality, we obtain relevant markers from text samples along the five psychological dimensions. We then experiment with various classification models and analyze the effects of different sets of markers on the accuracy. Results demonstrate certain markers contribute more significantly to a personality trait and hence give better classification accuracies. Considering the existence of an ecommerce based conversational bot, we utilize the personality insights to develop a unique recommendation system based on order history and conversational data that the bot-application would gather over time from users.","PeriodicalId":339750,"journal":{"name":"2017 9th International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Communication Networks (CICN)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125682978","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}

Premature discovery and diagnosis of cancer of breast is of significance importance in the treatment option and increased patients' possible survival opportunity. Image enhancement is one of the frequently applied techniques to curtail lethal rate by providing enhanced image, which would aid early detection and diagnosis of cancer tumor. Image enhancement is applied on the mammogram images to reduce the speckle noise and increase the contrast of the image. In this research work, it is proposed to use a novel Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) algorithm which estimates the Clip Limit adaptively by using Otsu's Method in order to enhance mammogram images. Two different threshold calculations are proposed and the proposed methods are compared with a Fuzzy Logic based adaptive clip limit CLAHE method. The experimental images were obtained from mini-MIAS mammogram database. Experiments were carried out for three different breast types; namely fatty, fatty glandular and dense glandular. The subjective test results indicate that to detect breast cancer at its earliest stage, there is need during analysis and diagnosis of the breast cancer to use both of the images obtained with the two proposed methods.","PeriodicalId":339750,"journal":{"name":"2017 9th International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Communication Networks (CICN)","volume":"130 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116206411","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 modeling of environments whose examination in particular is difficult and the examination via the model becomes easier. The parameters of the modeled systems and the values they can obtain are quite large, and manual tuning is tedious and requires a lot of effort while it often it is almost impossible to get the desired results. For this reason, there is a need for the parameter space to be set. The studies conducted in recent years were reviewed, it has been observed that there are few studies for parameter tuning problem in modeling and simulations. In this study, work has been done for a solution to be found to the problem of parameter tuning with swarm intelligence optimization algorithms Particle swarm optimization and Firefly algorithms. The performance of these algorithms in the parameter tuning process has been tested on 2 different agent based model studies. The performance of the algorithms has been observed by manually entering the parameters found for the model. According to the obtained results, it has been seen that the Firefly algorithm where the Particle swarm optimization algorithm works faster has better parameter values.

The dataset comprises data of 98 subjects and the predictor variables are gender, age, height, weight, maximum heart rate (HRmax), grade, speed and exercise time. Fifteen different VO2max prediction models have been created with the variables listed above. The performance of the prediction models has been calculated by using common metrics such as standard error of estimate (SEE) and multiple correlation coefficient (R). The results show that GRNN based models usually produced much lower SEE's and higher R's than the ones given by SVM, DTF and RBFN based models. On the other hand, the RBFN based models yielded the worst performance with unacceptable error rates. Also, this study shows that the predictor variables grade, speed and time play a significant role in VO2max prediction.","PeriodicalId":339750,"journal":{"name":"2017 9th International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Communication Networks (CICN)","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128669928","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}
