This research article attempts to provide a recent survey on neuro-fuzzy approaches for feature selection and classification. Feature selection acts as a catalyst in reducing computation time and dimensionality, enhancing prediction performance or accuracy and curtailing irrelevant or redundant...

The main objective of this work is to develop an integrated system that is capable of extracting precise information (knowledge) based on any stored information using the techniques of data mining and soft computing. For the purpose of extracting precise information based on some stored...

Traditional financial reporting usually ignores intangible assets, even though these assets play an increasingly important role in today's knowledge-based economy. As such, the valuation of intangible assets, while typically overlooked in traditional reporting, has nonetheless garnered...

This article is a comparative study between two bio-inspired approach based on the swarm intelligence for automatic text summaries: Social Spiders and Social Bees. The authors use two techniques of extraction, one after the other: scoring of phrases, and similarity that aims to eliminate...

Metaheuristics algorithms are becoming powerful methods for solving many problems of market analysis, data mining, transportation, medical etc. The concept of BAT algorithm, particle swarm optimization, artificial bee colony optimization, cuckoo search, firefly algorithm and harmony search are...

Clustering is the process of analyzing data to find clusters of data objects that are similar in some sense to one another. Some research studies have also extended the usage of clustering concept in inventory management. Yet, not many research studies have considered the application of...

This article describes how it is impractical for a person to remember everything that they do on a day-to-day basis. To address this issue, an android location based reminder system (SmartNotify) that function on users' activities and points of interest are developed. SmartNotify automatically...

One way to enhance the likelihood that more university students will graduate within the specific major that they begin with is to attract the type of students who have typically (historically) done well in that field of study. This paper expands upon a study that utilizes data mining...

Temporal association rule mining is a data mining technique in which relationships between items which satisfy certain timing constraints can be discovered. This paper presents the concept of temporal association rules in order to solve the problem of classification of inventories by including...

Clustering techniques typically group similar instances underlying individual attributes by supposing that similar instances have similar attributes characteristic. On contrary, clustering similar instances given a specific behavior is framed through supervised learning. For instance, which...
