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...

This article describes how modeling is an integral part of design and development of any system that provides the theoretical characterization of the system and helps in understanding the relations between various parameters of the system, before the system is developed. The capability of an...

The objective of this study was to consider the efficiency of support vector machine (SVM) and artificial neural network (ANN) for the classification and prediction of groundwater quality using a small data record in Malayer, Iran. For this purpose, 14 groundwater quality variables that had been...

Stock price forecasting is a classic problem facing analysts. Forecasting models have been developed for predicting individual stocks and stock indices around the world and in numerous industries. According to a literature review, these models have yet to be applied to the restaurant industry....

Clinical decision support systems are meant to improve the quality of decision-making in healthcare. Artificial intelligence is the science of creating intelligent systems that solve complex problems at the level of or better than human experts. Combining artificial intelligence methods into...

Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), especially back-propagation (BP) neural network, can improve the performance of intrusion detection systems. However, for the current network intrusion detection methods, the detection precision, especially for low-frequent attacks, detection stability and...

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women worldwide. Early diagnosis of this illness can increase the chances of long-term survival of cancerous patients. To help in this aid, computerized breast cancer diagnosis systems are being developed. Machine learning algorithms...

Solution of inverse kinematics equations of robotic manipulators constitutes usually a demanding problem, which is also required to be resolved in a time-efficient way to be appropriate for actual industrial applications. During the last few decades, soft computing models such as Artificial...

The modern way of living depends on a very high degree on electricity utilization. People take for granted that their energy needs will be satisfied 24/7 which mandates the maintaining of the power grid in stable state. To that end, the development of precise methods for monitoring and...

The increasing demand for electricity the last decades leads towards the more frequent use of Combined Cycle Power Plants (CCPPs) because of the quite efficient way these units are capable to produce electricity. Hence, the prediction of the output of these units is of significant interest and...
