The use of existing video cameras in road intersections for traffic pattern analysis is often overlooked due to their perceived limitations and varying technical specifications. We compare the advantages and disadvantages of both a system architecture that incorporates a Convolutional Neural Network and one that makes use of a Logistic Regression algorithm for traffic lane occupancy detection and optimizes the allocation of additional lanes based on occupancy data, thereby improving vehicle traffic flow, additionally, traffic patterns are viewed analyzed from point of origin to point of dissipation, the system allocating lanes accordingly on defined segments not just in individual intersections. Using existing video camera infrastructure for data collection offers a cost-effective approach that enhances traffic safety, enables emergency corridors, and allows flexibility in lane allocation without requiring a complete replacement of costly infrastructure already in use in most major cities around the world.","PeriodicalId":391483,"journal":{"name":"2023 15th International Conference on Electronics, Computers and Artificial Intelligence (ECAI)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121834051","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}

These algorithms exploit the nearest Kronecker product (NKP) decomposition of the impulse response (usually of long length) and take advantage of low rank approximations. Among them, the recursive least-squares (RLS) algorithm developed in this framework, namely RLS-NKP, has been found to be very suitable in challenging system identification problems that involve long length impulse responses, e.g., like in acoustic echo cancellation. The performance of the RLS-NKP algorithm depends on its decomposition parameter, which is related to the accuracy of low rank approximation. The current paper focuses on the investigation of this aspect and proposes a simple solution for choosing the decomposition parameter, using a preprocessing stage that relies on a low-complexity algorithm. Experiments are performed in the framework of acoustic echo cancellation and the obtained results support the validity of the proposed solution.","PeriodicalId":391483,"journal":{"name":"2023 15th International Conference on Electronics, Computers and Artificial Intelligence (ECAI)","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124801108","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}

E.g., Apple, Inc. has been a pinnacle customer experience company of the 21st century with the largest market cap, revenue, and customer base due to its commitment towards experience and delighting customers in every step of the journey either in stores or products. Customer experience has a significant impact on a company's revenue growth rate. Companies that deliver a positive customer experience are more likely to retain and attract new customers, leading to increased revenue; this shows up in recurring revenue and annual growth rate. In contrast, companies that fail to deliver a good customer experience may experience a decline in customer satisfaction and loyalty, resulting in reduced revenue. Adding some spice to the customer experience is AI; Artificial Intelligence has been a scorching top topic of discussion in the 21st century; every organization wants to build an AI-Powered product and technology that can simplify the human effort to do things. e.g., ChatGPT (AI-Powered Search Interface by OpenAI) has been the talk of the town, with every company wanting to integrate with it to give a better customer experience. This research paper aims to explore the relationship between AI-Powered customer experience and revenue growth rate by analyzing the impact of customer experience on companies' annual subscriptions ($ value). This research paper discusses the critical characteristics of AI-Powered customer experience like NPS(Net promoter Score), event attendance, product upgrades, partner involvement, elevated productivity with automation, and product adoption. By understanding the importance of customer experience and how it impacts revenue growth, companies can take steps to optimize AI usage to drive customer experience and long-term business success.","PeriodicalId":391483,"journal":{"name":"2023 15th International Conference on Electronics, Computers and Artificial Intelligence (ECAI)","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124919935","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 paper deals with a P2G2P system based on solar energy to produce “green” hydrogen to be used as fuel to supply (pure or mixed with natural gas) a gas turbine to generate electricity. Hydrogen is produced by water electrolysis and stored in pressurized tanks in the so-called P2G (power to gas) technology. Its subsequent use for power generation in a G2P (gas to power) system allows the storage of the excess energy produced by the PV (photovoltaic) panels to be used later to compensate the solar energy intermittency. The issues relating to sizing such a P2G2P system supplied by a 5 MW PV panels park, its operating performances and economics are presented. Results are materialized in data regarding the monthly distribution of resources and production, as well as those related to revenues and the expenses involved. Ways to increase system efficiency are also suggested.","PeriodicalId":391483,"journal":{"name":"2023 15th International Conference on Electronics, Computers and Artificial Intelligence (ECAI)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122441489","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 the process of network design, a particular interest is shown in the resources available in order to ensure communication functionality. In agriculture, wireless communication is usually considered the most suitable for this task due to environmental conditions and communication distance. For outdoor applications, GSM protocol permits flawless communications over those large areas where the service coverage is available. The main advantage of the GSM is the coverage around the world, while the drawback is the high current consumption that has a direct impact on the system lifetime powered with batteries. In this paper, a GSM wireless sensor node (GWSn) is proposed for infield data acquisition. Tests were performed in the laboratory to analyze the current consumption and infield to observe the feasibility of the proposed prototype. To ensure an increased lifetime considering the current consumption acquired, the GWSn was equipped with a photovoltaic panel.","PeriodicalId":391483,"journal":{"name":"2023 15th International Conference on Electronics, Computers and Artificial Intelligence (ECAI)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122974751","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 reported experiments cover the effect such a technique can have when confronted with various sizes for the trained NN in the context of both harder and easier datasets. Moreover, the experimental setups make use of feature selection both as a traditional pre-processing step, before training the NN, as well as an intermediary processing layer between the features extractor part of a convolutional neural network (CNN), used in conjunction with more conventional statistical features, and the classification head.
