This information is stored in various information systems and is used for analysis and management purposes. One important approach to handle these data is through the process of clustering or categorization. Clustering algorithms are powerful tools used in data analysis and machine learning to group similar data points together based on their inherent characteristics. These algorithms aim to identify patterns and structures within a dataset, allowing for the discovery of hidden relationships and insights. By partitioning data into distinct clusters, clustering algorithms enable efficient data exploration, classification, and anomaly detection. In this study, we propose a novel centroid-based clustering algorithm, namely, the morphological accuracy clustering algorithm (MAC algorithm). The proposed algorithm uses a morphological accuracy measure to define the centroid of the cluster. The empirical results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves a stable clustering outcome in fewer iterations compared to several existing centroid-based clustering algorithms. Additionally, the clusters generated by these existing algorithms are highly susceptible to the initial centroid selection made by the user.","PeriodicalId":44894,"journal":{"name":"Applied Computational Intelligence and Soft Computing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141112459","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}

However, the accurate interpretation of lip movements is impeded by the uniqueness of individual lip shapes, necessitating detailed analysis. In addition, the development of an Indonesian dataset addresses the lack of diversity in existing datasets, predominantly in English, fostering more inclusive research. This study proposes an enhanced lip-reading system trained using the long-term recurrent convolutional network (LRCN) considering eight different types of lip shapes. MediaPipe Face Mesh precisely detects lip landmarks, enabling the LRCN model to recognize Indonesian utterances. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach, with the LRCN model with three convolutional layers (LRCN-3Conv) achieving 95.42% accuracy for word test data and 95.63% for phrases, outperforming the convolutional long short-term memory (Conv-LSTM) method. The proposed approach outperforms Conv-LSTM in terms of accuracy. Furthermore, the evaluation of the original MIRACL-VC1 dataset also produced a best accuracy of 90.67% on LRCN-3Conv compared to previous studies in the word-labeled class. The success is attributed to MediaPipe Face Mesh detection, which facilitates the accurate detection of the lip region. Leveraging advanced deep learning techniques and precise landmark detection, these findings promise improved communication accessibility for individuals facing auditory challenges.","PeriodicalId":44894,"journal":{"name":"Applied Computational Intelligence and Soft Computing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140688706","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}

This study proposes a novel approach for emotion modeling using speech signals by combining discrete wavelet transform (DWT) with linear prediction coding (LPC). The performance of various classifiers, including support vector machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Efficient Logistic Regression, Naive Bayes, Ensemble, and Neural Network, was evaluated for emotion classification using the EMO-DB dataset. Evaluation metrics such as area under the curve (AUC), average prediction accuracy, and cross-validation techniques were employed. The results indicate that KNN and SVM classifiers exhibited high accuracy in distinguishing sadness from other emotions. Ensemble methods and Neural Networks also demonstrated strong performance in sadness classification. While Efficient Logistic Regression and Naive Bayes classifiers showed competitive performance, they were slightly less accurate compared to other classifiers. Furthermore, the proposed feature extraction method yielded the highest average accuracy, and its combination with formants or wavelet entropy further improved classification accuracy. On the other hand, Efficient Logistic Regression exhibited the lowest accuracies among the classifiers. The uniqueness of this study was that it investigated a combined feature extraction method and integrated them to compare with various forms of combinations. However, the purposes of the investigation include improved performance of the classifiers, high effectiveness of the system, and the potential for emotion classification tasks. These findings can guide the selection of appropriate classifiers and feature extraction methods in future research and real-world applications. Further investigations can focus on refining classifiers and exploring additional feature extraction techniques to enhance emotion classification accuracy.","PeriodicalId":44894,"journal":{"name":"Applied Computational Intelligence and Soft Computing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140755018","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}

This study first presents a comprehensive and comparative review of existing deep learning methods used for smart grid applications such as solar photovoltaic (PV) generation forecasting and power consumption forecasting. In this work, electrical consumption forecasting is long term and will consider smart meter data and socioeconomic and demographic data. Photovoltaic power generation forecasting is short term by considering climatic data such as solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity. Moreover, we have proposed a novel hybrid deep learning method based on multilayer perceptron (MLP), long short-term memory (LSTM), and genetic algorithm (GA). We then simulated all the deep learning methods on a climate and electricity consumption dataset for the city of Douala. Electrical consumption data are collected from smart meters installed at consumers in Douala. Climate data are collected at the climate management center in the city of Douala. The results obtained show the outperformance of the proposed optimized method based on deep learning in the both electrical consumption and PV power generation forecasting and its superiority compared to basic methods of deep learning such as support vector machine (SVM), MLP, recurrent neural network (RNN), and random forest algorithm (RFA).","PeriodicalId":44894,"journal":{"name":"Applied Computational Intelligence and Soft Computing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140754241","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}

For two different product designs targeting the same role, one may be more manufacturable than the other. Evaluating manufacturability requires experts in the processes of manufacturing, “manufacturing process engineers” (MPEs). Human experts are expensive to train and employ, while a well-designed expert system (ES) could be quicker, more reliable, and provide higher performance and superior accuracy. In this work, a group of MPEs (“Team A”) externalized a portion of their expertise into a rule-based expert system in cooperation with a group of ES knowledge engineers and developers. We produced a large ES with 113 total rules and 94 variables. The ES comprises a crisp ES which constructs a Fuzzy ES, thus producing a two-stage ES. Team A then used the ES and a derivation of it (the “MAKE A”) to conduct assessments of the manufacturability of several “notional” designs, providing a sanity check of the rule-base. A provisional assessment used a first draft of the rule-base, and MAKE A, and was of notional wing designs. The primary assessment, using an updated rule-base and MAKE A, was of notional rotor blade designs. We describe the process by which this ES was made and the assessments that were conducted and conclude with insights gained from constructing the ES. These insights can be summarized as follows: build a bridge between expert and user, move from general features to specific features, do not make the user do a lot of work, and only ask the user for objective observations. We add the product of our work to the growing library of tools and methodologies at the disposal of the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC). The primary findings of the present work are (1) an ES that satisfied the experts, according to their expressed performance expectations, and (2) the insights gained on how such a system might best be constructed.","PeriodicalId":44894,"journal":{"name":"Applied Computational Intelligence and Soft Computing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140380174","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}

However, it is very difficult to communicate with a machine-understandable language. Finding context meaning is challenging the activity of automatically identifying machine translation, indexing engines, and predicting neighbor words in natural language. Many researchers around the world investigated word-sense disambiguation in different languages, including the Afaan Oromo language, to solve this challenge. Nevertheless, the amount of effort for Afaan Oromo is very little in terms of finding context meaning and predicting neighbor words to solve the word ambiguity problem. Since the Afaan Oromo language is one of the languages developed in Ethiopia, it needs the latest technology to enhance communication and overcome ambiguity challenges. So far, this work aims to design and develop a vector space model for the Afaan Oromo language that can provide the application of word-sense disambiguation to increase the performance of information retrieval. In this work, the study has used the Afaan Oromo word embedding method to disambiguate a contextual meaning of words by applying the semisupervised technique. To conduct the study, 456,300 Afaan Oromo words were taken from different sources and preprocessed for experimentation by the Natural Language Toolkit and Anaconda tool. The K-means machine learning algorithm was used to cluster similar word vocabulary. Experimental results show that using word embedding for the proposed language’s corpus improves the performance of the system by a total accuracy of 98.89% and outperforms the existing similar systems.","PeriodicalId":44894,"journal":{"name":"Applied Computational Intelligence and Soft Computing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140241593","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}
