As WHO stated, Covid-19 behaves in the form of waves, therefore we thought that we should pay attention to seasonal and periodical models when identifying an appropriate model for this virus. The aim of this article is to introduce and study Periodical Autoregressive integrated Moving Average (PARIMA) models and compare them with the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) models to find optimal or approximately optimal model helps to predict the epidemiological behavior of the prevalence and so find reliable future forecasts of the number of Covid-19 injuries in Egypt. A numerical study using real data analysis is performed to establish an appropriate PARIMA model. The results supported the reliance of PAR (7) odel and its use for the purpose of forecasting. Extensive comparisons have been made between the estimated PARIMA model and some other advanced time series models.

The major problem is that the graduates fail to look at the number of requirements needed for a job role in the present and future. So there is a need for a prediction model that provides the number of job opportunities in a job role in the future. Many research studies have been carried out to predict the placement status of students, but they have not predicted the number of job opportunities in a job role. Many existing prediction models focus on improving prediction accuracy but fail to consider the handling of data fluctuations. When there is a data fluctuation, the predicted value deviates from the actual value. This paper presents a hybrid time-series prediction model called the enhanced integrated gated recurrent unit (EIGRU) Model to predict the number of job opportunities in a job role based on the company, salary, and experience. The proposed EIGRU model tries to minimize the divergence in the predicted value. The proposed time series prediction model is achieving a prediction accuracy of 98%. Based on the experimental evaluation of the Job dataset, the proposed model’s mean absolute percentage error and mean absolute error values are lower than the baseline models. As a result, the graduates will know about the number of job opportunities in their job role and make an effective decision.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":36280,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Data Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135197829","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}

High blood sugar levels can damage the tiny blood vessels in the retina at any time, leading to retinal detachment and sometimes glaucoma blindness. Treatment involves maintaining the current visual quality of the patient, as the disease is irreversible. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are crucial to minimizing the risk of vision loss. However, existing DR recognition strategies face numerous challenges, such as limited training datasets, high training loss, high-dimensional features, and high misclassification rates, which can significantly affect classification accuracies. In this paper, we propose a ResNet-50-based transfer learning method for classifying DR, which leverages the knowledge and expertise gained from training on a large dataset such as ImageNet. Our method involves preprocessing and segmenting the input images, which are then fed into ResNet-50 for extracting optimal features. We freeze a few layers of the pre-trained ResNet-50 and add Global Average Pooling to generate feature maps. The reduced feature maps are then classified to categorize the type of diabetic retinopathy. We evaluated the proposed method on 40 Real-time fundus images gathered from ICF Hospital together with the APTOS-2019 dataset and used various metrics to evaluate its performance. The experimentation results revealed that the proposed method achieved an accuracy of 99.82%, a sensitivity of 99%, a specificity of 96%, and an AUC score of 0.99 compared to existing DR recognition techniques. Overall, our ResNet-50-based transfer learning method presents a promising approach for DR classification and addresses the existing challenges of DR recognition strategies.

This algorithm achieves a Compression Ratio (CR) of up to 10 with a Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) as high as 35 dB. Hence, it is very appropriate for the new applications of underwater communication. The idea of the proposed algorithm is based on the segmentation of the image, first, into blocks to setup reference blocks. The image is then decomposed again into block ranges, and a search process is carried out to find the reference blocks with the best match. The transmitted or stored values, after compression, are the reference block values and the indices of the reference block that achieves the best match. If there is no match, the average value of the block range is transmitted or stored instead. The effect of the spiral architecture instead of square block decomposition is studied. A comparison between different algorithms, including the conventional square search, the proposed simplified fractal compression algorithm and the standard JPEG compression algorithm, is introduced. We applied the types of fractal compression on a video sequence. In addition, the effect of using the fractal image compression algorithms in transform domain is investigated. The image is transferred firstly to a transform domain. The Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) are used. After transformation takes place, the fractal algorithm is applied. A comparison between three fractal algorithms, namely conventional square, spiral, and simplified fractal compression, is presented. The comparison is repeated in the two cases of transformation. The DWT is used also in this paper to increase the CR of the block domain pool. We decompose the block domain by wavelet decomposition to two levels. This process gives a CR for block domain transmission as high as 16. The advantage of the proposed implementation is the simplicity of computation. We found that with the spiral architecture in fractal compression, the video sequence visual quality is better than those produced with conventional square fractal compression and the proposed simplified algorithm at the same CR, but with longer time consumed. We found also that all types of fractal compression give better quality than that of the standard JPEG. In addition, the decoded images, in case of using the wavelet transform, are the best. On the other hand, in case of using DCT, the decoded images have poor quality.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":36280,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Data Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135307314","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 recent years, many financial institutions and academics have shown interest in stock market forecasting. The accurate and successful predictions of the future price of stock yield a substantial profit. However, the current approaches are a major challenge due to the dynamic, chaotic, high-noise, non-linear, highly complex, and nonparametric characteristics of stock data. Furthermore, it is not sufficient to consider only the target firms' information because the stock prices of the target firms may be influenced by their related firms. Significant profits can be made by correct forecasting of stock prices, while poor forecasts can cause huge problems. Thus, we propose a novel Island Parallel-Harris Hawks Optimizer (IP-HHO)-optimized Convolutional Long Short Term Memory (ConvLSTM) with an autocorrelation model to predict stock price movement. Then, using the IP-HHO algorithm, the hyperparameters of ConvLSTM are optimized to minimize the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). Four different types of financial time series datasets are utilized to validate the performance of the evaluation measures such as root mean square error, MAPE, Index of Agreement, accuracy, and F1 score.
