This paper presents a novel and data-independent method to construct a type of partially connected feedforward neural network (FNN). The proposed networks, called Apollonian network-based partially connected FNNs (APFNNs), are constructed in terms of the structures of two-dimensional...

This paper presents a combined use of both RFID technology and product cross-selling system to perform cross- and up-selling for retail industry. In this study, two systems, namely the Smart Dressing System (SDS) enabled by RFID technologies, and Intelligent Product Cross-selling System (IPCS),...

A hybrid intelligent (HI) model, comprising a data preprocessing component and a HI forecaster, is developed to tackle the medium-term fashion sales forecasting problem. The HI forecaster firstly adopts a novel learning algorithm-based neural network to generate initial sales forecasts and then...

A multi-objective production planning problem in the labor-intensive manufacturing industry is investigated. An intelligent and real-time multi-objective decision-making model is developed to provide timely and effective solutions for this problem by integrating RFID technology with intelligent...

Based on regional coordination theory and system theory, the authors constructed an evaluation index system for the coordinated development of a regional environment-tourism-economy system with a pressure-state-response (PSR) model. With a coordinated development model, it further empirically...
