Abstract Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) forms an essential part of IoT. It is embedded in the target environment to observe the physical parameters based on the type of application. Sensor nodes in WSN are constrained by different features such as memory, bandwidth, energy, and its processing capabilities. In WSN, data transmission process consumes the maximum amount of energy than sensing and processing of the sensors. So, diverse clustering and data aggregation techniques are designed to achieve excellent energy efficiency in WSN. In this view, the current research article presents a novel Type II Fuzzy Logic-based Cluster… More >

Abstract Malaria is a critical health condition that affects both sultry and frigid region worldwide, giving rise to millions of cases of disease and thousands of deaths over the years. Malaria is caused by parasites that enter the human red blood cells, grow there, and damage them over time. Therefore, it is diagnosed by a detailed examination of blood cells under the microscope. This is the most extensively used malaria diagnosis technique, but it yields limited and unreliable results due to the manual human involvement. In this work, an automated malaria blood smear classification model is More >

Abstract Student performance prediction helps the educational stakeholders to take proactive decisions and make interventions, for the improvement of quality of education and to meet the dynamic needs of society. The selection of features for student's performance prediction not only plays significant role in increasing prediction accuracy, but also helps in building the strategic plans for the improvement of students’ academic performance. There are different feature selection algorithms for predicting the performance of students, however the studies reported in the literature claim that there are different pros and cons of existing feature selection algorithms in selection… More >

Abstract Accurate recognition of person identity is a critical task in civil society for various application and different needs. There are different well-established biometric modalities that can be used for recognition purposes such as face, voice, fingerprint, iris, etc. Recently, face images have been widely used for person recognition, since the human face is the most natural and user-friendly recognition method. However, in real-life applications, some factors may degrade the recognition performance, such as partial face occlusion, poses, illumination conditions, facial expressions, etc. In this paper, we propose two dynamic feature subset selection (DFSS) methods to… More >

Abstract This paper presents a review of the ensemble learning models proposed for web services classification, selection, and composition. Web service is an evolutionary research area, and ensemble learning has become a hot spot to assess web services’ earlier mentioned aspects. The proposed research aims to review the state of art approaches performed on the interesting web services area. The literature on the research topic is examined using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) as a research method. The study reveals an increasing trend of using ensemble learning in the chosen papers More >

Abstract Cloud data centers face the largest energy consumption. In order to save energy consumption in cloud data centers, cloud service providers adopt a virtual machine migration strategy. In this paper, we propose an efficient virtual machine placement strategy (VMP-SI) based on virtual machine selection and integration. Our proposed VMP-SI strategy divides the migration process into three phases: physical host state detection, virtual machine selection and virtual machine placement. The local regression robust (LRR) algorithm and minimum migration time (MMT) policy are individual used in the first and section phase, respectively. Then we design a virtual More >

Abstract Health care data mining is noteworthy in disease diagnosis and recognition procedures. There exist several potentials to further improve the performance of machine learning based-classification methods in healthcare data analysis. The selection of a substantial subset of features is one of the feasible approaches to achieve improved recognition results of classification methods in disease diagnosis prediction. In the present study, a novel combined approach of feature generation using latent semantic analysis (LSA) and selection using ranker search (RAS) has been proposed to improve the performance of classification methods in lymph disease diagnosis prediction. The performance… More >

Abstract A vector-measurement-sensor-selection problem in the undersampled and oversampled cases is considered by extending the previous novel approaches: a greedy method based on D-optimality and a noise-robust greedy method in this paper. Extensions of the vector-measurement-sensor selection of the greedy algorithms are proposed and applied to randomly generated systems and practical datasets of flowfields around the airfoil and global climates to reconstruct the full state given by the vector-sensor measurement.

Abstract During the COVID-19 outbreak, the use of single-use medical supplies increased significantly. It is essential to select suitable sites for establishing medical waste treatment stations. It is a big challenge to solve the medical waste treatment station selection problem due to some conflicting factors. This paper proposes a multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) method based on the partitioned Maclaurin symmetric mean (PMSM) operator. For the medical waste treatment station selection problem, the factors or attributes (these two terms can be interchanged.) in the same clusters are closely related, and the attributes in different clusters have no relationships.… More >

Abstract At present, the immense development of social networks allows generating a significant amount of textual data, which has facilitated researchers to explore the field of opinion mining. In addition, the processing of textual opinions based on the term frequency-inverse document frequency method gives rise to a dimensionality problem. This study aims to detect the nature of opinions in the Arabic language employing a swarm intelligence (SI)-based algorithm, Harris hawks algorithm, to select the most relevant terms. The experimental study has been tested on two datasets: Arabic Jordanian General Tweets and Opinion Corpus for Arabic. In More >
