Abstract The heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system consumes nearly 50% of the building’s energy, especially in Taiwan with a hot and humid climate. Due to the challenges in obtaining energy sources and the negative impacts of excessive energy use on the environment, it is essential to employ an energy-efficient HVAC system. This study conducted the machine tools building in a university. The field measurement was carried out, and the data were used to conduct energy modelling with EnergyPlus (EP) in order to discover some improvements in energy-efficient design. The validation between field measurement and… More >

Abstract The rapid expansion of the non-fungible token (NFT) market has attracted many investors. However, studies on the NFT price fluctuations have been relatively limited. To date, the machine learning approach has not been used to demonstrate a specific error in NFT sale price fluctuation prediction. The aim of this study was to develop a prediction model for NFT price fluctuations using the NFT trading information obtained from OpenSea, the world’s largest NFT marketplace. We used Python programs to collect data and summarized them as: NFT information, collection information, and related account information. AdaBoost and Random… More >

Abstract Recently, the demand for renewable energy has increased due to its environmental and economic needs. Solar panels are the mainstay for dealing with solar energy and converting it into another form of usable energy. Solar panels work under suitable climatic conditions that allow the light photons to access the solar cells, as any blocking of sunlight on these cells causes a halt in the panels work and restricts the carry of these photons. Thus, the panels are unable to work under these conditions. A layer of snow forms on the solar panels due to snowfall… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The exponential use of artificial intelligence (AI) to solve and automated complex tasks has catapulted its popularity generating some challenges that need to be addressed. While AI is a powerful means to discover interesting patterns and obtain predictive models, the use of these algorithms comes with a great responsibility, as an incomplete or unbalanced set of training data or an unproper interpretation of the models’ outcomes could result in misleading conclusions that ultimately could become very dangerous. For these reasons, it is important to rely on expert knowledge when applying these methods. However, not every… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Our previous work has introduced the newly generated program using the code transformation model GPT-2, verifying the generated programming codes through simhash (SH) and longest common subsequence (LCS) algorithms. However, the entire code transformation process has encountered a time-consuming problem. Therefore, the objective of this study is to speed up the code transformation process significantly. This paper has proposed deep learning approaches for modifying SH using a variational simhash (VSH) algorithm and replacing LCS with a piecewise longest common subsequence (PLCS) algorithm to faster the verification process in the test phase. Besides the code transformation More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The automated evaluation and analysis of employee behavior in an Industry 4.0-compliant manufacturing firm are vital for the rapid and accurate diagnosis of work performance, particularly during the training of a new worker. Various techniques for identifying and detecting worker performance in industrial applications are based on computer vision techniques. Despite widespread computer vision-based approaches, it is challenging to develop technologies that assist the automated monitoring of worker actions at external working sites where camera deployment is problematic. Through the use of wearable inertial sensors, we propose a deep learning method for automatically recognizing the… More >

Abstract University timetabling problems are a yearly challenging task and are faced repeatedly each semester. The problems are considered non-polynomial time (NP) and combinatorial optimization problems (COP), which means that they can be solved through optimization algorithms to produce the aspired optimal timetable. Several techniques have been used to solve university timetabling problems, and most of them use optimization techniques. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the most recent studies dealing with concepts, methodologies, optimization, benchmarks, and open issues of university timetabling problems. The comprehensive review starts by presenting the essence of university timetabling as… More >

Abstract Breast cancer seriously affects many women. If breast cancer is detected at an early stage, it may be cured. This paper proposes a novel classification model based improved machine learning algorithms for diagnosis of breast cancer at its initial stage. It has been used by combining feature selection and Bayesian optimization approaches to build improved machine learning models. Support Vector Machine, K-Nearest Neighbor, Naive Bayes, Ensemble Learning and Decision Tree approaches were used as machine learning algorithms. All experiments were tested on two different datasets, which are Wisconsin Breast Cancer Dataset (WBCD) and Mammographic Breast… More >

Abstract Big data analytics in business intelligence do not provide effective data retrieval methods and job scheduling that will cause execution inefficiency and low system throughput. This paper aims to enhance the capability of data retrieval and job scheduling to speed up the operation of big data analytics to overcome inefficiency and low throughput problems. First, integrating stacked sparse autoencoder and Elasticsearch indexing explored fast data searching and distributed indexing, which reduces the search scope of the database and dramatically speeds up data searching. Next, exploiting a deep neural network to predict the approximate execution time More >

Abstract In IoT, routing among the cooperative nodes plays an incredible role in fulfilling the network requirements and enhancing system performance. The evaluation of optimal routing and related routing parameters over the deployed network environment is challenging. This research concentrates on modelling a memory-based routing model with Stacked Long Short Term Memory (s − LSTM) and Bi-directional Long Short Term Memory (b − LSTM). It is used to hold the routing information and random routing to attain superior performance. The proposed model is trained based on the searching and detection mechanisms to compute the packet delivery ratio (PDR), end-to-end (E2E) delay, throughput,… More >
