FSL-BM: Fuzzy Supervised Learning with Binary Meta-Feature for Classification
This paper introduces a novel real-time Fuzzy Supervised Learning with Binary
Meta-Feature (FSL-BM) for big data classification task. The study of real-time
algorithms addresses several major concerns, which are namely: accuracy, memory
consumption, and ability to stretch assumptions and time complexity. Attaining
a fast computational model providing fuzzy logic and supervised learning is one
of the main challenges in the machine learning. In this research paper, we
present FSL-BM algorithm as an efficient solution of supervised learning with
fuzzy logic processing using binary meta-feature representation using Hamming
Distance and Hash function to relax assumptions. While many studies focused on
reducing time complexity and increasing accuracy during the last decade, the
novel contribution of this proposed solution comes through integration of
Hamming Distance, Hash function, binary meta-features, binary classification to
provide real time supervised method. Hash Tables (HT) component gives a fast
access to existing indices; and therefore, the generation of new indices in a
constant time complexity, which supersedes existing fuzzy supervised algorithms
with better or comparable results. To summarize, the main contribution of this
technique for real-time Fuzzy Supervised Learning is to represent hypothesis
through binary input as meta-feature space and creating the Fuzzy Supervised
Hash table to train and validate model.Comment: FICC201
Designing an expert knowledge-based Systemic Importance Index for financial institutions
Defining whether a financial institution is systemically important (or not) is challenging due to (i) the inevitability of combining complex importance criteria such as institutions’ size, connectedness and substitutability; (ii) the ambiguity of what an appropriate threshold for those criteria may be; and (iii) the involvement of expert knowledge as a key input for combining those criteria. The proposed method, a Fuzzy Logic Inference System, uses four key systemic importance indicators that capture institutions’ size, connectedness and substitutability, and a convenient deconstruction of expert knowledge to obtain a Systemic Importance Index. This method allows for combining dissimilar concepts in a non-linear, consistent and intuitive manner, whilst considering them as continuous –non binary- functions. Results reveal that the method imitates the way experts them-selves think about the decision process regarding what a systemically important financial institution is within the financial system under analysis. The Index is a comprehensive relative assessment of each financial institution’s systemic importance. It may serve financial authorities as a quantitative tool for focusing their attention and resources where the severity resulting from an institution failing or near-failing is estimated to be the greatest. It may also serve for enhanced policy-making (e.g. prudential regulation, oversight and supervision) and decision-making (e.g. resolving, restructuring or providing emergency liquidity).Systemic Importance, Systemic Risk, Fuzzy Logic, Approximate Reasoning, Too-connected-to-fail, Too-big-to-fail.

Evaluation of IoT-Based Computational Intelligence Tools for DNA Sequence Analysis in Bioinformatics
In contemporary age, Computational Intelligence (CI) performs an essential
role in the interpretation of big biological data considering that it could
provide all of the molecular biology and DNA sequencing computations. For this
purpose, many researchers have attempted to implement different tools in this
field and have competed aggressively. Hence, determining the best of them among
the enormous number of available tools is not an easy task, selecting the one
which accomplishes big data in the concise time and with no error can
significantly improve the scientist's contribution in the bioinformatics field.
This study uses different analysis and methods such as Fuzzy, Dempster-Shafer,
Murphy and Entropy Shannon to provide the most significant and reliable
evaluation of IoT-based computational intelligence tools for DNA sequence
analysis. The outcomes of this study can be advantageous to the bioinformatics
community, researchers and experts in big biological data
Motorized cart
Motorized cart is known as an effective tool and timeless that help people carry heavy loads. For farmers, it has an especially vital tool for moving goods. Oil palm farmers typically uses the wheelbarrow to move the oil palm fruit (Figure 10.1). However, there is a lack of equipment that should be further enhanced in capabilities. Motorized carts that seek to add automation to wheelbarrow as it is to help people save manpower while using it. At present, oil palm plantation industry is among the largest in Malaysia. However, in an effort to increase the prestige of the industry to a higher level there are challenges to be faced. Shortage of workers willing to work the farm for harvesting oil palm has given pain to manage oil palm plantations. Many have complained about the difficulty of hiring foreign workers and a high cost. Although there are tools that can be used to collect or transfer the proceeds of oil palm fruits such as carts available. However, these tools still have the disadvantage that requires high manpower to operate. Moreover, it is not suitable for all land surfaces and limited cargo space. Workload and manpower dependence has an impact on farmers' income
Behavior patterns in hormonal treatments using fuzzy logic models
Assisted reproductive technologies are a combination of medical strategies designed to treat infertility patients. Ideal stimulation treatment has to be individualized, but one of the main challenges which clinicians face in the everyday clinic is how to select the best medical protocol for a patient. This work aims to look for behavior patterns in this kind of treatments, using fuzzy logic models with the objective of helping gynecologists and embryologists to make decisions that could improve the process of in vitro fertilization. For this purpose, a real-world dataset composed of one hundred and twenty-three (123) patients and five hundred and fifty-nine (559) treatments applied in relation to such patients provided by an assisted reproduction clinic, has been used to obtain the fuzzy models. As conclusion, this work corroborates some known clinic experiences, provides some new ones and proposes a set of questions to be solved in future experiments.Ministerio de EconomĂa y Competitividad TIN2013-46928-C3-3-RMinisterio de EconomĂa y Competitividad TIN2016-76956- C3-2-RMinisterio de EconomĂa y Competitividad TIN2015-71938-RED
A survey of machine learning techniques applied to self organizing cellular networks
In this paper, a survey of the literature of the past fifteen years involving Machine Learning (ML) algorithms applied to self organizing cellular networks is performed. In order for future networks to overcome the current limitations and address the issues of current cellular systems, it is clear that more intelligence needs to be deployed, so that a fully autonomous and flexible network can be enabled. This paper focuses on the learning perspective of Self Organizing Networks (SON) solutions and provides, not only an overview of the most common ML techniques encountered in cellular networks, but also manages to classify each paper in terms of its learning solution, while also giving some examples. The authors also classify each paper in terms of its self-organizing use-case and discuss how each proposed solution performed. In addition, a comparison between the most commonly found ML algorithms in terms of certain SON metrics is performed and general guidelines on when to choose each ML algorithm for each SON function are proposed. Lastly, this work also provides future research directions and new paradigms that the use of more robust and intelligent algorithms, together with data gathered by operators, can bring to the cellular networks domain and fully enable the concept of SON in the near future
Visual analysis of sensor logs in smart spaces: Activities vs. situations
Models of human habits in smart spaces can be expressed by using a multitude of representations whose readability influences the possibility of being validated by human experts. Our research is focused on developing a visual analysis pipeline (service) that allows, starting from the sensor log of a smart space, to graphically visualize human habits. The basic assumption is to apply techniques borrowed from the area of business process automation and mining on a version of the sensor log preprocessed in order to translate raw sensor measurements into human actions. The proposed pipeline is employed to automatically extract models to be reused for ambient intelligence. In this paper, we present an user evaluation aimed at demonstrating the effectiveness of the approach, by comparing it wrt. a relevant state-of-the-art visual tool, namely SITUVIS
