MAROR: Multi-Level Abstraction of Association Rule Using Ontology and Rule Schema
Статья научная
Many large organizations have multiple databases distributed over different branches. Number of such organizations is increasing over time. Thus, it is necessary to study data mining on multiple databases. Most multi-databases mining (MDBM) algorithms for association rules typically represent input patterns at a single level of abstraction. However, in many applications of association rules – e.g., Industrial discovery, users often need to explore a data set at multiple levels of abstraction, and from different points of view. Each point of view corresponds to set of beliefs (and representational) commitments regarding the domain of interest. Using domain ontologies, we strengthen the integration of user knowledge in the mining and post-processing task. Furthermore, an interactive and iterative framework is designed to assist the user along the analyzing task at different levels. This paper formalizes the problem of association rules using ontologies in multi-database mining, describes an ontology-driven association rules algorithm to discoverer rules at multiple levels of abstraction and presents preliminary results in petroleum field to demonstrate the feasibility and applicability of this proposed approach.

MASHUP of linked data and Web API
Статья научная
Mashups are an important way to allow normal users to build their own applications responding to the specific needs of each one. The basic components of mashups are Data and Web APIs especially Restful ones, but it is difficult for an unexperienced user to combine manually APIs with Data. Therefore, there is a need to predefine links between these resources to permit an easy combination. In this paper, we propose a new approach to make Restful Web APIs adhere to Linked Data principles, which facilitate their combination in mashup applications. The advantage of the proposed approach is the fact that it allows integrating linked data with the composition of Restful APIs, It also uses an algorithm to automatically create links between APIs.

MCCM: Multilevel Congestion Avoidance and Control Mechanism for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
Статья научная
Congestion in Mobile Ad Hoc Network causes packet loss, longer end-to-end data delivery delay which affects the overall performance of the network significantly. To ensure high throughput, the routing protocol should be congestion adaptive and should be capable of handling the congestion. In this research work, we propose a Multilevel Congestion avoidance and Control Mechanism (MCCM) that exploits both congestion avoidance and control mechanism to handle the congestion problem in an effective and efficient way. MCCM is capable of finding an energy efficient path during route discovery process, provide longer lifetime of any developed route. The efficient admission control and selective data packet delivery mechanism of MCCM jointly overcome the congestion problem at any node and thus, MCCM improves the network performance in term of packet delivery ratio, lower data delivery delay and high throughput. The result of performance evaluation section shows that, MCCM outperforms the existing routing protocols carried out in Network Simulator-2(NS-2).

MGF analysis of spatial diversity combiner over composite fading channel
Статья научная
The worldwide acceptability of wireless communication is due to its portability and flexibility. However, its performance is governed by the multipath propagation effects which make wireless communication modelling challenging. The existing technique being used to solve this propagation effects is based on Probability Density Function (PDF) which is inefficient in addressing diversity over combined Rayleigh and Rician (C_(Ray-Ric)) fading due to its complexity. Therefore, this paper aims to develop an approximated Moment Generating Function (MGF) for spatial diversity combining such as Equal Gain Combining (EGC) and Maximal Ratio Combining (MRC) over C_(Ray-Ric) fading channel. A MGF model in form of Taylor’s series is generated from the expected value of the C_(Ray-Ric) fading channels. The MGF is characterized using Amount of Fading (AF) and Bit Error Rate (BER) in term of Line of Sight (LOS) component ‘k’. The MGF is transformed into EGC and MRC, and were measured in terms of propagation paths (L). These are approximated using the Pade ́ Approximation (PA). The approximates obtained are used in the derivation of BER expression of M-ary Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (MQAM) and M-ary Phase Shift Keying (MPSK) in terms of Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). The models are evaluated using AF and BER at different values of LOS to determine the performance of the diversity techniques. The results obtained show that as LOS component ‘k’ increases from 0, the Af and BER reduce indicating reduction in fading effects. Therefore, the models developed are effective in predicting the performance of diversity techniques and overcome the multipath effects associated with the wireless communication.

Multiple Input Multiple Output(MIMO) has been in much importance in recent past because of high capacity gain over a single antenna system. In this article, analysis over the capacity of the MIMO channel systems with spatial channel with modified precoder and decoder has been considered when the channel state information (CSI) is considered partial. Due to delay in acquiring transmitted information at the receiver end, the time selective fading wireless channel often induces incomplete or partial CSI. The dynamic CSI model has also been implemented consisting channel mean and covariance which leads to extracting of channel estimates and error covariance which then further applied with the modified precoder and decoder utilizing both the parameters indicating the CSI quality since these are the functions of temporal correlation factor, and based on this, the model covers data from perfect to statistical CSI, either partially or fully blind. It is found that in case of partial and imperfect CSI, the capacity depends on the statistical properties of the error in the CSI which has been manipulated according to the precoder and decoder conditions. Based on the knowledge of statistical distribution of the deviations in CSI knowledge, a new approach which maximizes the capacity of spatial channel model with modified precoder and decoder has been tried. The interference then interactively reduced by employing the iterative channel estimation and data detection approach, where by utilizing the detected symbols from the previous iteration, multiuser/MIMO channel estimation and symbol detection is improved.

MOTIFSM: Cloudera Motif DNA Finding Algorithm
Статья научная
Many studying systems of gene function work depend on the DNA motif. DNA motifs finding generate a lot of trails which make it complex. Regulation of gene expression is identified according to Transcription Factor Binding Sites (TFBSs). There are different algorithms explained, over the past decades, to get an accurate motif tool. The major problems for these algorithms are on the execution time and the memory size which depend on the probabilistic approaches. Our previous algorithm, called EIMF, is recently proposed to overcome these problems by rearranging data. Because cloud computing involves many resources, the challenge of mapping jobs to infinite computing resources is an NP-hard optimization problem. In this paper, we proposed an Impala framework for solving a motif finding algorithms in single and multi-user based on cloud computing. Also, the comparison between Cloud motif and previous EIMF algorithms is performed in three different motif group. The results obtained the Cloudera motif was a considerable finding algorithms in the experimental group that decreased the execution time and the Memory size, when compared with the previous EIMF algorithms. The proposed MOTIFSM algorithm based on the cloud computing decrease the execution time by 70% approximately in MOTIFSM than EIMF framework. Memory size also is decreased in MOTIFSM about 75% than EIMF.

Machine Learning based Wildfire Area Estimation Leveraging Weather Forecast Data
Статья научная
Wildfires are increasingly destructive natural disasters, annually consuming millions of acres of forests and vegetation globally. The complex interactions among fuels, topography, and meteorological factors, including temperature, precipitation, humidity, and wind, govern wildfire ignition and spread. This research presents a framework that integrates satellite remote sensing and numerical weather prediction model data to refine estimations of final wildfire sizes. A key strength of our approach is the use of comprehensive geospatial datasets from the IBM PAIRS platform, which provides a robust foundation for our predictions. We implement machine learning techniques through the AutoGluon automated machine learning toolkit to determine the optimal model for burned area prediction. AutoGluon automates the process of feature engineering, model selection, and hyperparameter tuning, evaluating a diverse range of algorithms, including neural networks, gradient boosting, and ensemble methods, to identify the most effective predictor for wildfire area estimation. The system features an intuitive interface developed in Gradio, which allows the incorporation of key input parameters, such as vegetation indices and weather variables, to customize wildfire projections. Interactive Plotly visualizations categorize the predicted fire severity levels across regions. This study demonstrates the value of synergizing Earth observations from spaceborne instruments and forecast data from numerical models to strengthen real-time wildfire monitoring and postfire impact assessment capabilities for improved disaster management. We optimize an ensemble model by comparing various algorithms to minimize the root mean squared error between the predicted and actual burned areas, achieving improved predictive performance over any individual model. The final metric reveals that our optimized WeightedEnsemble model achieved a root mean squared error (RMSE) of 1.564 km2 on the test data, indicating an average deviation of approximately 1.2 km2 in the predictions.

Machine learning application to improve COCOMO model using neural networks
Статья научная
Millions of companies expend billions of dollars on trillions of software for the development and maintenance. Still many projects result in failure causing heavy financial loss. Major reason is the inefficient effort estimation techniques which are not so suitable for the current development methods. The continuous change in the software development technology makes effort estimation more challenging. Till date, no estimation method has been found full-proof to accurately pre-compute the time, money, effort (man-hours) and other resources required to successfully complete the project resulting either over-estimated budget or under-estimated budget. Here a machine learning COCOMO is proposed which is a novel non-algorithmic approach to effort estimation. This estimation technique performs well within their pre-specified domains and beyond so. As development methods have undergone revolutionaries but estimation techniques are not so modified to cope up with the modern development skills, so the need of training the models to work with updated development methods is being satiated just by finding out the patterns and associations among the domain specific data sets via neural networks along with carriage of desired COCOMO features. This paper estimates the effort by training proposed neural network using already published data-set and later on, the testing is done. The validation clearly shows that the performance of algorithmic method is improved by the proposed machine learning method.

Management of Possible Roles for Distributed Software Projects Using Layer Architecture
Статья научная
Several members are involved in development and management of the Distributed Software Projects. Each member needs to know the responsibilities of each other for proper management of the activities of such distributed projects to produce coherent outcomes. Distribution middleware software has higher-level distributed programming models whose reusable APIs (application programming interface) and components automate and extend native operating system capabilities. Software management tools like Work break-down structure (WBS), Gantt chart, Critical Path Method, and Critical Chain Method etc. does not fully help the managers to manage the member's responsibilities during the development of distributed applications. The layered architecture can help to do so. This style not only gives the layer level description of the activity involved, it also defines and directs the group of workforce. By listing the groups of workforce, the development team as well as the customer can know the activity and the member involved to work on those specific activities. This layered architecture is much benefited to development team and also to numbers of stakeholder of the large distributed project. The extended new approach of layer pattern with 'Responsibility Index' adds extra value to manage all the members' responsibilities. Managers, stakeholders and others can have an easy management system. The request or complaint from the customer can be passed to appropriate team without much delay. Most importantly this will give facility to collect timely feedback from all levels of customers.

Markov Models Applications in Natural Language Processing: A Survey
Статья научная
Markov models are one of the widely used techniques in machine learning to process natural language. Markov Chains and Hidden Markov Models are stochastic techniques employed for modeling systems that are dynamic and where the future state relies on the current state. The Markov chain, which generates a sequence of words to create a complete sentence, is frequently used in generating natural language. The hidden Markov model is employed in named-entity recognition and the tagging of parts of speech, which tries to predict hidden tags based on observed words. This paper reviews Markov models' use in three applications of natural language processing (NLP): natural language generation, named-entity recognition, and parts of speech tagging. Nowadays, researchers try to reduce dependence on lexicon or annotation tasks in NLP. In this paper, we have focused on Markov Models as a stochastic approach to process NLP. A literature review was conducted to summarize research attempts with focusing on methods/techniques that used Markov Models to process NLP, their advantages, and disadvantages. Most NLP research studies apply supervised models with the improvement of using Markov models to decrease the dependency on annotation tasks. Some others employed unsupervised solutions for reducing dependence on a lexicon or labeled datasets.

The problems of managing modern complex organizational and manufacturing systems, such as international production corporations, regional economies, sectoral ministries, etc., in conditions of fierce competition are primarily related to the need to consider the activity of organizational and manufacturing objects that make up a multi-level manufacturing system, that is, the ability to efficiently solve the problem of coordinating interests. This problem cannot be solved efficiently without the use of modern scientific achievements and appropriate software. As an example, we can cite the active systems theory pioneered by Prof. V. M. Burkov and his students, which successfully claims to be a constructive implementation of the idea of coordinated planning. This paper proposes new models and methods of coordinated planning of two-level organizational and manufacturing systems. Our models and methods use original compromise criteria and the corresponding constructive algorithms. The original aggregated volume-time models are used as models of organizational and manufacturing objects. We present a well-founded software structure for the proposed methods of coordinated planning. It contains an intelligent interface for using the presented results in solving applied problems.

Measuring Cognitive Distortions: A KPI-based Approach to Understanding Faulty Information Processing
Статья научная
Cognitive distortion refers to the patterns of negative thinking which can distort a person’s perception of reality. These distorted thoughts lead to unhealthy behaviors, emotional distress, and mental health issues, like depression and anxiety. In order to detect cognitive distortion, Deep Learning (DL) techniques are employed; however, these approaches lead to a high error rate and poor performance. This is mainly because they fail to understand the hierarchical semantics, subtle emotional tones, and long-range dependencies within the text. Hence, a new model termed Hierarchical Attention Neural Harmonic Fusion Network (HAN-HFNet) is exploited for cognitive distortion detection from text. Initially, the input sentence is passed to Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) tokenization, which generates context-aware embeddings capable of capturing subtle emotional nuances, long-range dependencies, and hierarchical semantics critical for identifying cognitive distortions in text. Next, various Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), like Severity of Cognitive Distortions (SCD), Frequency of Cognitive Distortion (FCD), Correlation Between Cognitive Distortions and Depression Severity, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), self-reports of cognitive distortions from individuals, Long-Term Monitoring of Cognitive Distortions (LT-MCD), and impact on daily functioning is considered. Lastly, the cognitive distortion is detected utilizing HAN-HFNet, which is obtained by integrating Hierarchical Deep Learning for Text classification (HDLTex) and Deep High-order Attention neural Network (DHA-Net) using harmonic analysis. This fusion enables the model to learn both coarse and fine-grained features, enhancing contextual understanding and reducing error. Moreover, the performance of the HAN-HFNet is evaluated using the Faulty Information Processing Dataset (FIPD), and it computed a minimum classification error of 0.072, and maximum recall, accuracy, precision, and F1-score of 94.756%, 92.754%, 91.866%, and 93.289%. Furthermore, the model is suitable for integration into real-world mental health support systems, offering scalability and potential deployment in online therapy platforms, clinical decision-making tools, and cognitive behavioral assessment frameworks.
