Kritična svojstva i acentrični čimbenici modeliranja čistih spojeva primjenom modela QSPR-SVM i algoritma Dragonfly

This work aimed to model the critical pressure, temperature, volume properties, and acentric factors of 6700 pure compounds based on five relevant descriptors and two thermodynamic properties. To that end, four methods were used, namely, multi-linear regression (MLR), artificial neural networks (ANNs), support vector machines (SVMs) using sequential minimal optimisation (SMO), and hybrid SVM with Dragonfly optimisation algorithm (SVM-DA) to model each property. The results suggested that hybrid SVM-DA had better prediction performance compared to the other models in terms of average absolute relative deviation (AARD%) of {0.7551, 1.962, 1.929, and 2.173} and R2 of {0.9699, 0.9673, 0.9856, and 0.9766} for critical temperature, critical pressure, critical volume, and acentric factor, respectively. The developed models can be used to estimate the property of newly designed compounds only from their molecular structure.Cilj ovog rada bio je modeliranje kritičnog tlaka, temperature, volumnih svojstava i acentričnih čimbenika 6700 čistih spojeva na temelju pet relevantnih deskriptora i dva termodinamička svojstva. U tu svrhu primijenjene su četiri metode: višestruka linearna regresija (MLR), umjetna neuronska mreža (ANN), metoda potpornih vektora (SVM) i algoritam optimizacije Dragonfly (SVM-DA), koji se za modeliranje svakog svojstva koriste sekvencijalnom minimalnom optimizacijom (SMO) i hibridnim SVM-om. Rezultati su pokazali da hibridni SVM-DA daje bolje predviđanje u odnosu na ostale modele u smislu postotka prosječnog apsolutnog relativnog odstupanja (AARD%) od {0,7551, 1,962, 1,929 i 2,173} i R2 od {0,9699, 0,9673, 0,9856, i 0,9766} za kritičnu temperaturu, kritični tlak, kritični volumen i acentrični faktor. Razvijeni modeli mogu se primjenjivati za procjenu svojstava novodizajniranih spojeva samo iz njihove molekularne strukture

Applications of artificial intelligence in ship berthing: A review

Ship berthing operations in restricted waters such as ports requires the accurate use of onboard-vessel equipment such as rudder, thrusters, and main propulsions. For big ships, the assistance of exterior supports such as tugboats are necessary, however with the advancement of technology, we may hypothesize that the use of artificial intelligence to support ship berthing safely at ports without the dependency on the tugboats may be a reality. In this paper we comprehensively assessed and analyzed several literatures regarding this topic. Through this review, we seek out to present a better understanding of the use of artificial intelligence in ship berthing especially neural networks and collision avoidance algorithms. We discovered that the use of global and local path planning combined with Artificial Neural Network (ANN) may help to achieve collision avoidance while completing ship berthing operations

Modelling affect for horror soundscapes

The feeling of horror within movies or games relies on the audience’s perception of a tense atmosphere — often achieved through sound accompanied by the on-screen drama — guiding its emotional experience throughout the scene or game-play sequence. These progressions are often crafted through an a priori knowledge of how a scene or game-play sequence will playout, and the intended emotional patterns a game director wants to transmit. The appropriate design of sound becomes even more challenging once the scenery and the general context is autonomously generated by an algorithm. Towards realizing sound-based affective interaction in games this paper explores the creation of computational models capable of ranking short audio pieces based on crowdsourced annotations of tension, arousal and valence. Affect models are trained via preference learning on over a thousand annotations with the use of support vector machines, whose inputs are low-level features extracted from the audio assets of a comprehensive sound library. The models constructed in this work are able to predict the tension, arousal and valence elicited by sound, respectively, with an accuracy of approximately 65%, 66% and 72%.peer-reviewe

Application of neural network predictive control methods to solve the shipping container sway control problem in quay cranes

Smart control systems are mostly applied in industry to control the movements of heavy machinery while optimizing overall operational efficiency. Major shipping companies use large quay cranes to load and unload containers from ships and still rely on the experience of on-site operators to perform transportation control procedures using joysticks and visual contact methods. This paper presents the research results of an EU-funded project for the Klaipeda container terminal to develop a novel container transportation security and cargo safety assurance method and system. It was concluded that many risks arise during the container handling procedures performed by the quay cranes and operators. To minimize these risks, the authors proposed controlling the sway of the spreader using a model predictive control method which applies a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) neural network (NN). The paper analyzes current neural network architectures and case studies and provides the engineering community with a unique case study which applies real operation statistical data. Several key training algorithms were tested, and the initial results suggest that the Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm and variable learning rate backpropagation perform better than methods which use the multi-layer perceptron neural network structure.Web of Science9782657825

A Comprehensive Survey on Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm and Its Applications

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a heuristic global optimization method, proposed originally by Kennedy and Eberhart in 1995. It is now one of the most commonly used optimization techniques. This survey presented a comprehensive investigation of PSO. On one hand, we provided advances with PSO, including its modifications (including quantum-behaved PSO, bare-bones PSO, chaotic PSO, and fuzzy PSO), population topology (as fully connected, von Neumann, ring, star, random, etc.), hybridization (with genetic algorithm, simulated annealing, Tabu search, artificial immune system, ant colony algorithm, artificial bee colony, differential evolution, harmonic search, and biogeography-based optimization), extensions (to multiobjective, constrained, discrete, and binary optimization), theoretical analysis (parameter selection and tuning, and convergence analysis), and parallel implementation (in multicore, multiprocessor, GPU, and cloud computing forms). On the other hand, we offered a survey on applications of PSO to the following eight fields: electrical and electronic engineering, automation control systems, communication theory, operations research, mechanical engineering, fuel and energy, medicine, chemistry, and biology. It is hoped that this survey would be beneficial for the researchers studying PSO algorithms
