Abstract In a public procurement process, corruption can occur at each stage, favoring a participant with a previous agreement, which can result in over-pricing and purchases of substandard products, as well as gender discrimination. This paper’s aim is to detect biased purchases using a Spanish Language corpus, analyzing text from the questions and answers registry platform by applicants in a public procurement process in Ecuador. Additionally, gender bias is detected, promoting both men and women to participate under the same conditions. In order to detect gender bias and favoritism towards certain providers by contracting entities, the study proposes a unique hybrid… More >

Abstract Educational Data Mining (EDM) is an emergent discipline that concentrates on the design of self-learning and adaptive approaches. Higher education institutions have started to utilize analytical tools to improve students’ grades and retention. Prediction of students’ performance is a difficult process owing to the massive quantity of educational data. Therefore, Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques can be used for educational data mining in a big data environment. At the same time, in EDM, the feature selection process becomes necessary in creation of feature subsets. Since the feature selection performance affects the predictive performance of any model, it is important to elaborately… More >

Abstract This paper introduces an aircraft wing simulation data set (AWSD) created by an automatic workflow based on creating models, meshing, simulating the wing flight flow field solution, and parameterizing solution results. AWSD is a flexible, independent wing collection of simulations with specific engineering requirements. The data set is applicable to handle computer geometry processing tasks. In contrast to the existing 3D model data set, there are some advantages the scale of this data set is not limited by the collection source, the data files have high quality, no defects, redundancy, and other problems, and the models and simulation are all… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract From the beginning, the process of research and its publication is an ever-growing phenomenon and with the emergence of web technologies, its growth rate is overwhelming. On a rough estimate, more than thirty thousand research journals have been issuing around four million papers annually on average. Search engines, indexing services, and digital libraries have been searching for such publications over the web. Nevertheless, getting the most relevant articles against the user requests is yet a fantasy. It is mainly because the articles are not appropriately indexed based on the hierarchies of granular subject classification. To overcome this issue, researchers are… More >

Abstract Some human diseases are recognized through of each type of White Blood Cell (WBC) count, so detecting and classifying each type is important for human healthcare. The main aim of this paper is to propose a computer-aided WBCs utility analysis tool designed, developed, and evaluated to classify WBCs into five types namely neutrophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, and basophils. Using a computer-artificial model reduces resource and time consumption. Various pre-trained deep learning models have been used to extract features, including AlexNet, Visual Geometry Group (VGG), Residual Network (ResNet), which belong to different taxonomy types of deep learning architectures. Also, Binary Border… More >

Abstract Human verification and activity analysis (HVAA) are primarily employed to observe, track, and monitor human motion patterns using red-green-blue (RGB) images and videos. Interpreting human interaction using RGB images is one of the most complex machine learning tasks in recent times. Numerous models rely on various parameters, such as the detection rate, position, and direction of human body components in RGB images. This paper presents robust human activity analysis for event recognition via the extraction of contextual intelligence-based features. To use human interaction image sequences as input data, we first perform a few denoising steps. Then, human-to-human analyses are employed… More >

Abstract The outbreak of the pandemic, caused by Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), has affected the daily activities of people across the globe. During COVID-19 outbreak and the successive lockdowns, Twitter was heavily used and the number of tweets regarding COVID-19 increased tremendously. Several studies used Sentiment Analysis (SA) to analyze the emotions expressed through tweets upon COVID-19. Therefore, in current study, a new Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) with Machine Learning-driven SA (ABCML-SA) model is developed for conducting Sentiment Analysis of COVID-19 Twitter data. The prime focus of the presented ABCML-SA model is to recognize the sentiments expressed in tweets made upon… More >

Abstract Short-term GPS data based taxi pick-up area recommendation can improve the efficiency and reduce the overheads. But how to alleviate sparsity and further enhance accuracy is still challenging. Addressing at these issues, we propose to fuse spatio-temporal contexts into deep factorization machine (STC_DeepFM) offline for pick-up area recommendation, and within the area to recommend pick-up points online using factorization machine (FM). Firstly, we divide the urban area into several grids with equal size. Spatio-temporal contexts are destilled from pick-up points or points-of-interest (POIs) belonged to the preceding grids. Secondly, the contexts are integrated into deep factorization machine (DeepFM) to mine… More >

Abstract Big Data applications face different types of complexities in classifications. Cleaning and purifying data by eliminating irrelevant or redundant data for big data applications becomes a complex operation while attempting to maintain discriminative features in processed data. The existing scheme has many disadvantages including continuity in training, more samples and training time in feature selections and increased classification execution times. Recently ensemble methods have made a mark in classification tasks as combine multiple results into a single representation. When comparing to a single model, this technique offers for improved prediction. Ensemble based feature selections parallel multiple expert’s judgments on a… More >

Abstract It is crucial, while using healthcare data, to assess the advantages of data privacy against the possible drawbacks. Data from several sources must be combined for use in many data mining applications. The medical practitioner may use the results of association rule mining performed on this aggregated data to better personalize patient care and implement preventive measures. Historically, numerous heuristics (e.g., greedy search) and metaheuristics-based techniques (e.g., evolutionary algorithm) have been created for the positive association rule in privacy preserving data mining (PPDM). When it comes to connecting seemingly unrelated diseases and drugs, negative association rules may be more informative… More >
