Air Quality Prediction in Smart Cities Using Machine Learning Technologies Based on Sensor Data: A Review
The influence of machine learning technologies is rapidly increasing and penetrating almost in every field, and air pollution prediction is not being excluded from those fields. This paper covers the revision of the studies related to air pollution prediction using machine learning algorithms based on sensor data in the context of smart cities. Using the most popular databases and executing the corresponding filtration, the most relevant papers were selected. After thorough reviewing those papers, the main features were extracted, which served as a base to link and compare them to each other. As a result, we can conclude that: (1) instead of using simple machine learning techniques, currently, the authors apply advanced and sophisticated techniques, (2) China was the leading country in terms of a case study, (3) Particulate matter with diameter equal to 2.5 micrometers was the main prediction target, (4) in 41% of the publications the authors carried out the prediction for the next day, (5) 66% of the studies used data had an hourly rate, (6) 49% of the papers used open data and since 2016 it had a tendency to increase, and (7) for efficient air quality prediction it is important to consider the external factors such as weather conditions, spatial characteristics, and temporal features
Current Studies and Applications of Krill Herd and Gravitational Search Algorithms in Healthcare
Nature-Inspired Computing or NIC for short is a relatively young field that
tries to discover fresh methods of computing by researching how natural
phenomena function to find solutions to complicated issues in many contexts. As
a consequence of this, ground-breaking research has been conducted in a variety
of domains, including synthetic immune functions, neural networks, the
intelligence of swarm, as well as computing of evolutionary. In the domains of
biology, physics, engineering, economics, and management, NIC techniques are
used. In real-world classification, optimization, forecasting, and clustering,
as well as engineering and science issues, meta-heuristics algorithms are
successful, efficient, and resilient. There are two active NIC patterns: the
gravitational search algorithm and the Krill herd algorithm. The study on using
the Krill Herd Algorithm (KH) and the Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) in
medicine and healthcare is given a worldwide and historical review in this
publication. Comprehensive surveys have been conducted on some other
nature-inspired algorithms, including KH and GSA. The various versions of the
KH and GSA algorithms and their applications in healthcare are thoroughly
reviewed in the present article. Nonetheless, no survey research on KH and GSA
in the healthcare field has been undertaken. As a result, this work conducts a
thorough review of KH and GSA to assist researchers in using them in diverse
domains or hybridizing them with other popular algorithms. It also provides an
in-depth examination of the KH and GSA in terms of application, modification,
and hybridization. It is important to note that the goal of the study is to
offer a viewpoint on GSA with KH, particularly for academics interested in
investigating the capabilities and performance of the algorithm in the
healthcare and medical domains.Comment: 35 page
Applications of gravitational search algorithm in engineering
Gravitational search algorithm (GSA) is a nature-inspired conceptual framework with roots in gravitational kinematics, a branch of physics that models the motion of masses moving under the influence of gravity. In a recent article the authors reviewed the principles of GSA. This article presents a review of applications of GSA in engineering including combinatorial optimization problems, economic load dispatch problem, economic and emission dispatch problem, optimal power flow problem, optimal reactive power dispatch problem, energy management system problem, clustering and classification problem, feature subset selection problem, parameter identification, training neural networks, traveling salesman problem, filter design and communication systems, unit commitment problem and multiobjective optimization problems
