Firstly, CLAHE is performed on the image…

Nowadays, Customer satisfaction is important for businesses and organizations. Manual methods exist, namely surveys and distributing questionnaires to customers. However, marketers and businesses are looking for quick ways to get effective and efficient feedback results for their potential customers. In this paper, we propose a new method for facial emotion detection to recognize customer’s satisfaction…

The integration of renewable energy distributed generation (REDG) into the energized distribution power grid has become more popular in recent years. This has been escalated by the general global energy shortages. The REDG has proven to be effective for energy sustainability and reliability. However, there are technical challenges which arise from integrating REDG into the…

The classification of static or mobile objects, from a signal or an image containing information as to their structure or their form, constitutes a constant concern of specialists in the electronic field.

Hypertensive or high blood pressure is a medical condition that can be driven by several factors. These factors or variables are needed to build a classification model of the hypertension dataset. In the construction of classification models, class imbalance problems are often found due to oversampling. This research aims to obtain the best classification model…

Malware has always been a big problem for companies, government agencies, and individuals because people still use it as a primary tool to influence networks, applications, and computer operating systems to gain unilateral benefits. Until now, malware detection with heuristic and signature-based methods are still struggling to keep up with the evolution of malware. Machine…

With the advent of the Internet of Things Technologies (IOT), smart homes, and smart city applications, E-Nose was created. Almost of gas sensors consisting the electronic nose system suffer from cross sensitivity and lack of selectivity. Coupling smart gas sensors with artificial intelligence algorithms can thus empower conventional gas sensing technologies and increase accuracy in…

Stress occurring in the early days of an individual was often assumed to cause several health consequences. A number of reports indicated that having to deal with unfavourable events or distress situation at a young age could tweak stress responses leading to a broad spectrum of poor mental and physical health condition. Therefore, changes identified…

E-mail is one of the media services used at the contact center. The challenge faced by e-mail services is how to handle e-mails that enter large quantities every day efficiently to provide fast and appropriate service to customers. The purpose of this study is to find which method has the best accuracy in classifying emails…

Improving the hand motor skills in post-stroke patients through rehabilitation based on movement intention derived signals from the brain in conjunction with robot-assistive technologies are explored. The experimental work is conducted using Electroencephalogram based Brain-Computer Interface (EEG-BCI) system and the AMADEO hand rehabilitation robotic device. Two protocols using visual-cues and then using a 2-Dimensional (2D)…

The major problem in electric utility is Electrical Theft, which is harmful to electric power suppliers and causes economic loss. Detecting and controlling electrical theft is a challenging task that involves several aspects like economic, social, regional, managerial, political, infrastructural, literacy rate, etc. Numerous methods were proposed formerly for detecting electricity theft. However, the previous…

The increasing number of breast cancer in recent years has attracted numerous researchers’ attention. Several techniques of Computer Aided Diagnosis System have been proposed as alternative solutions to diagnose breast cancer. The flaw of simply using the naked eye to see the differences between normal and with cancer mammogram images makes the texture analysis play…

This paper proposes a computationally intelligent algorithm for extracting relevant features from a training set. An optimal subset of features is extracted from training examples of network intrusion datasets. The Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm is used as the cost function within the thermal equilibrium loop of the Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm. The proposed fusion…

This paper is proposed to build a model by applying two methods, namely support vector machine and nonnegative matrix factorization in the process of predicting stock market movement using twitter and historical data. The stock exchange is based on the LQ 45 stock with period from August 2018 – January 2019. The features consist of…

The research programme reported in this paper is set within the framework of our research under the theme of ICT support for Active Healthy Ageing (AHA). This longitudinal empirical research is focused on the study of the impact on the management of cardio-vascular disease if supported by sustained health monitoring using wearable connected devices. One…

Vowel classification is an essential part of speech recognition. In classical studies, this problem is mostly handled by using spectral domain features. In this study, a novel approach is proposed for vowel classification based on the visual features of speech waveforms. In sound vocalizing, the position of certain organs of the human vocal system such…

Music genre classification is an important multimedia research domain, including aspects of music piece representation, distances between genres, and categorization of music databases. The objective of this study was to develop a model for automatic classification of musical genres from audio data by using features from low-level time and frequency domains. These features can highlight…

The presence of atmospheric hazards in confined space can contribute towards atmospheric hazards accidents that threaten the worker safety and industry progress. To avoid this, the environment needs to be observed. The air sample can be monitored using the integration of electronic nose (e-nose) and mobile robot. Current technology to monitor the atmospheric hazards is…

Language skill is a rule-like operation, based on generalized connections. The main property of language skills is awareness. They are formed with conscious mastery of the language means of communication (phonetic, lexical and grammatical). Language acquisition is a complex process which includes a large number of different parameters. Therefore, the study and improvement of language…

This paper introduces an electroencephalogram (EEG) analysis method to detect preferences for particular sounds. Our study aims to create novel brain–computer interfaces (BMIs) to control human mental (NBMICM), which are used to detect human mental conditions i.e., preferences, thinking, and consciousness, choose stimuli to control these mental conditions, and evaluate these choices. It is important…
