Fusion Data Management and Modeling Techniques in Power Quality Compensation Using SAPF

Jessica N. Castillo , Guido G. Carrillo , Luigi O. Freire , Javier Culqui

The development of transportation today encompasses a broad range of technological applications that occasionally present new challenges arising from difficulties that require solutions. The article analyzes the difficulties in electric trains concerning the compensation of electric power quality in a traction system using a parallel active power filter (SAPF). From the literature review of several studies, the test distribution system in a distribution network for an electric train system is analyzed, with a variable load and harmonic content. The estimation and control technique used in the SAPF to compensate for the harmonic content and reduce the reactive power at the output of a traction substation is described. A data fusion management strategy is employed in the analyses, demonstrating the system's effectiveness.

Machine learning approaches are utilized to identify patterns in behavior and generate predictions across various applications. The objective of this work is to create a highly efficient model for accurately measuring and analyzing the levels of soil organic carbon (SOC) in the Chambo river sub-basin, which is situated in the province of Chimborazo. The model evaluation entails the application of diverse machine learning algorithms and approaches to determine the most efficient regression model. Regression models are improved using techniques such as Artificial Neural Networks, Support Vector Machines, and Decision Trees. The Resilient Backpropagation method yields the most precise model, as it accounts for a greater proportion of the variability in SOC content for the test data. This aligns with the findings from the training data, demonstrating a relatively low mean absolute error and a processing time that is approximately 400 times faster than that of the Multilayer Perceptron algorithm. The evaluation of estimating models is an objective procedure that considers not only the findings and precise metrics derived from the model's design, but also other relevant elements. The effectiveness of the Random Forest approach, specifically the quantile regression forests technique, has been established for estimating SOC contents in the Chambo river sub-basin data.

SOM and Hybrid Filtering: Pioneering Next-Gen Movie Recommendations in the Entertainment Industry

Saurabh Sharma , Ghanshyam Prasad Dubey , Harish Kumar Shakya , Aditi Sharma

In an age where digital connectivity is increasingly shaping entertainment content, personalized movie recommendations play a pivotal role in enhancing user satisfaction and engagement. This research introduces an innovative approach utilizing Enhanced Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) to streamline movie selection processes. Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs), a type of unsupervised neural network architecture, are particularly adept at discerning intricate data patterns, making them valuable assets in recommendation systems. The methodology outlined in this paper commences with gathering user-movie interaction data, including user feedback and movie characteristics, which is standardized to ensure consistency before model training. Leveraging its adaptable learning rate and neighborhood function, the Enhanced SOM effectively identifies subtle data nuances. Personalized movie suggestions are then generated by exploiting the Enhanced SOM's capacity to identify similar users and films. Integration of hybrid filtering techniques enriches recommendation quality, blending collaborative filtering algorithms, which leverage user-item interactions, with content-based filtering, which utilizes movie attributes such as genres and descriptions. This amalgamation results in suggestions that harmoniously combine diverse filtering methodologies. The proposed solution's efficacy is rigorously evaluated by comparing suggestion accuracy and user satisfaction against predefined benchmarks. Extensive real-world dataset testing corroborates the effectiveness of the Enhanced SOM-based movie recommendation approach. Furthermore, the system offers flexibility through options for parameter adjustment, grid size variations, and neighborhood function modifications to further refine recommendation accuracy. Collectively, these elements underscore the efficacy of the proposed method in furnishing tailored movie recommendations. When coupled with hybrid filtering techniques, the implementation of Enhanced SOMs emerges as a reliable model for content platforms seeking to enhance user experiences by delivering precise movie recommendations, coupled with scalability and adaptability.

These days, skin cancer is a prominent cause of death for people. Skin cancer is the name given to the abnormal development of skin cells that are exposed to the sun. These skin cells can develop anywhere on the human body. The majority of malignancies are treatable in the early stages. Thus, early detection of skin cancer is anticipated in order to preserve patient life. With cutting edge innovation, it is possible to detect skin cancer early on. Here, we provide a novel framework for the recognition of dermo duplication pictures that makes use of a neighbouring descriptor encoding method and deep learning technique. Specifically, the deep representations of a rescaled dermo duplication image that were initially removed through training an extraordinarily deep residual neural network on a big dataset of normal images. Subsequently, the neighbourhood deep descriptors are obtained by request-less visual measurement highlights, which rely on fisher vector encoding to create an international image representation. Lastly, a convolution neural network (CNN) was utilised to orchestrate melanoma images employing the Fisher vector encoded depictions. This proposed technique can give more discriminative parts to oversee huge contrasts inside melanoma classes and little varieties among melanoma and non-melanoma classes with least readiness information.
