Among these three methods, the initial skew rate method is newly developed, while moment-based is adapted compared to its initial version. The vertical projection profile method is used in its native form, which is widely accepted for text skew estimation. The comparison is based on the experiment which includes testing of the algorithm with a dataset that consist of the printed text image samples. These image samples are given in the resolution of 25, 50 and 300 dpi. Tested algorithms obtain different skew accuracy for different resolution of text images. At the end, the moment-based method has the smallest accuracy declination, which demonstrates its benefit over the other two methods. Furthermore, this contributes to its robustness in applications, which use low resolution images.","PeriodicalId":360794,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Reason. based Intell.

The increased number of diverse devices and the variety of multimodal data make interoperability a challenging task. Synthesis of semantic information from raw IoT data enables sharing of common data models between different applications. The paper presents an approach to modelling semantic annotation for power control in smart homes and then converting it to knowledge. The approach includes context aware models as well as a knowledge base describing behaviour of an autonomous agent. The context aware models representing remote device management are formalised and verified using the concept of bisimulation. Temporal logic is used for specifying the agent behaviour and reasoning about power control of home appliances.","PeriodicalId":360794,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Reason. based Intell.

However, one problem is that HBA does not adopt computational complexity of the used data mining technique. This is due to the way objective function is defined. So, in this paper, we have proposed an improved HBA (IHBA), which is utilising a modified objective function that compute the computational complexity of the used classification method. We also test several clustering techniques as HBA parameters tuning, in order to enhance classifiers' performance. We have tested IHBA on different benchmarks and the obtained results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":360794,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Reason. based Intell.

Image is an interesting research area due to the growth of the technologies. In this paper, we have proposed a new texture analysis method. One of the key problems in image processing is the rotation. Therefore, the proposed method is robust against rotation. The goal of this study is to construct a model from each texture. After that, the system classifies the query texture based on the extracted texture models. In this work, we applied a recent and efficient feature extraction method called rotation invariant neighbourhood-based binary pattern (RINBP). The proposed system combines between two parts. First, extract the RINBP model from the texture. Second, we apply the GLCM method in order to extract statistical measures. In the experiments, we have used the Brodats album database. Experimental parts illustrate the efficiency and the robustness of the proposed system against rotation.","PeriodicalId":360794,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Reason. based Intell.

To improve the convergence and the diversity of the results, an imperialist competitive algorithm is coupled with a genetic algorithm (ICA-GA) and it is used to solve this problem. A comparative study of the proposed ICA-GA shows that this method yields better results and more diverse results than other methods.","PeriodicalId":360794,"journal":{"name":"Int. J.

The proposed heuristic succeeded in grouping the nodes in the network into sets of densely connected subgroups. Our approach uses the modularity value as an optimisation criterion. The quality of the resulting division in the network was proven using measures like modularity and NMI. The experimental results verify that our algorithm is highly efficient at discovering quality community structure.","PeriodicalId":360794,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Reason. based Intell.

However, knowing that no work thoroughly studied these techniques, such a task is still difficult since these techniques are still ambiguous and misunderstood. The bat algorithm (BA) is a continuous algorithm that has been recently adapted using one of these techniques. However, that work suffered from several shortfalls. This paper conducts a systematic study in order to investigate the efficiency and usefulness of discretising continuous metaheuristics. This is done by proposing five binary variants of the BA (BBAs) based on the principal mapping techniques existing in the literature. As problem benchmark, two optimisation problems in cellular networks, the antenna positioning problem (APP) and the reporting cell problem (RCP) are used. The proposed BBAs are evaluated using several types, sizes and complexities of data. Two of the top-ranked algorithms designed to solve the APP and the RCP, the population-based incremental learning (PBIL) and the differential evolution (DE) algorithm are taken as comparison basis. Several statistical tests are conducted as well.","PeriodicalId":360794,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Reason. based Intell.
