The COVID-19 pandemic spread rapidly around the world and is currently one of the most leading causes of death and heath disaster in the world. Turkey, like most of the countries, has been negatively affected by COVID-19. The aim of this study is to design a predictive model based on artificial...

The cycle time of a wafer lot refers to the time that the wafer lot has experienced from its input to output. Predicting the cycle time of each wafer lot is a crucial task for a wafer fabrication factory (wafer fab), but existing prediction methods cannot achieve 100% accuracy. Therefore, if the...

The future is unknown and uncertain, but there are ways to predict future events and reap the rewards safely. One such opportunity is the application of machine learning and artificial intelligence for stock market prediction. The stock market is turbulent, yet using artificial intelligence to...

An outlier is a datum that is far from other data points in which it occurs. It can have a considerable impact on the output. Therefore, removing or resolving it before the analysis is essential to prevent skewing. Outliers in a survey sampling can have a significant outcome on statistical...

The fourth industrial revolution is a profound transformation utilizing emerging technologies like smart automation, large-scale machine-to-machine communication, and the internet of things to change traditional manufacturing and industrial practices. The analysis of the huge amount of data...

This paper proposes Simultaneous Trainings of Identical Neural Networks (STNN) that aims to predict when sufficient data is not available for training neural networks (NN). While predictive applications of neural networks are growing, a common assumption in the NN algorithms is to have a...

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is one of the most prevalent and fatal diseases influencing people on a larger that remains dormant until irreversible damage has been done to an individual's kidney. Progression of CKD is related to a variety of great complications, including increased incidence of...

Computer-aided diagnostic systems developed with Artificial Intelligence (AI) are a major advancement in healthcare analytics, assisting radiologists with a second opinion on cancer diagnosis. In this study, we explore two modalities of breast images, ultrasound, and histology, for their...

Experts often have unequal authority levels in organizations. However, this has rarely been considered reasonably in solving problems in the manufacturing system. In addition, a fuzzy collaborative estimation method can be more flexible and effective if experts have unequal authority levels. We...

Although the practicability of using wavelet neural networks (WNNs) in nonlinear function approximation has been addressed extensively, selecting the optimal number of hidden nodes and their appropriate initial locations remains a great challenge for WNNs' initialization. The cuckoo search...
