An enduring vision of Artificial Intelligence is to build robots that can recognize and learn the visual world and who can speak about it in natural language. Automatic image description generation is a demanding problem in Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing. The applications of image description generation systems are in biomedicine, military, commerce, digital…

Our world is characterised by uncertainty and complex, relational structures that carry temporal information, yielding large dynamic probabilistic relational models at the centre of many applications. We consider an example from logistics in which the transportation of cargoes using vessels (objects) driven by the amount of supply and the potential to generate revenue (relational) changes…

This paper presents novel Energy Management Strategies (EMSs), and the control of a Grid-Connected Hybrid Renewable Energy System (GCHRES). The GCHRES describes a Photovoltaic Generator (PVG) and a Battery-Based Storage System. Both are tied to the Common Coupling Point (CCP) through a reversible three-phase inverter. The CCP combines the Utility Grid (UG) and an AC…

Various applications have helped make vehicular Ad-hoc network communication a reality. Real-time applications, for example, need broadcasting in high video quality with minimal latency. The new High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) has shown great promise for real-time video transmission through Vehicle Ad-hoc Networks due to its high compression level. These networks, on the other hand, have…

Sustainable energy is gradually becoming the norm today due to greenhouse warming effects; as a result, the quests for different renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic cells as well as energy efficient electrical appliances are becoming popular. Therefore, this article explores the alternative energy case for thermoelectricity with focus on the steady-state mathematics, mixed modelings…

Nowadays, LED lights take an important place in our daily lives and they have known a great growth in indoor as well as in outdoor lighting applications. LED (Light Emitting Diode) light sources including their own drivers have excluded many systems fitted with both inefficient light sources. In this paper we present, a LED driver…

The main objective and contribution of the paper is to describe the creation of a model to support recruitment using social media information and its deployment in practice. The model includes the design of an automated solution for downloading social media data and a proposal for the subsequent analysis and creation of a predictive model…

In the last decade, South Africa has attracted and attained more investment by means of the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REI4P), which is, a structured invitation to Independent Power Producers (IPPs) to submit a bid to generate and supply power to the electrical grid. In spite of REI4P’s undeniable triumph, a much-discussed…

It is widely known that cities now house more than half of the world’s population. Within this framework, this study presents the possibilities for real-world application of renewable energy sources (RES) in urban areas, as well as their contribution to the urban deployment of the new energy paradigm. A comparison is made between hybrid power…

The data distribution used in model training is assumed to be similar with that when the model is applied. However, in some applications, data distributions may change over time. This situation is called the concept drift, which might decrease the model performance because the model is trained and evaluated in different distributions. To solve this…

Real-world applications modelled by time-dependent dynamical systems with specific properties such as long-range dependence or self-similarity are usually described by fractional Brownian motion. The investigation of the qualitative behaviour of its realisations is an important topic. For this purpose, efficient mappings from realisations of the dynamical system, i.e., time series, to a set of scalar-valued…

Novelty detection affords to identify data patterns that stray strikingly from the normal behavior. it allows a good identification and classification of objects which were not known during the learning phase of the model. In this article, we will introduce an organized and comprehensive review of the study on novelty detection. We have grouped existing…

The daily treats model reduction finite frequency (FFMR) design for Takagi Sugeno (T S) systems. This work is to FFMR design in such a way whether augmented model is steady get a reduced H? index in FF areas with noise is established as a prerequisite. To highlight the importance of suggested process, a practical application…

In this work, the impact of implementing a large amount of decentralized renewable energy sources (RES) of different scales on an extra-large power grid is investigated. Three scenarios are created, substituting 10%, 20%, and 30% of the conventional energy production by RES. For this purpose, the initial dynamic model of Continental Europe in combination with…
