Convolutional Neural Network On Tanned And Synthetic Leather Textures, Faadihilah Ahnaf Faiz, Ahmad Azhari

Knowledge Engineering and Data Science

Tanned leather is an output from complex processes called tanning. Leather tanning is an important step that used to protect the fiber or protein structure of animal’s skin. Another reason of tanning process is to prevent the animal’s skin from any defect or rot. After the tanning is complete, the leather can be applied to produce a wide variety of leather products. Thus, the leather prices usually more expensive because it takes longer time in process. Another way to get cheaper price is make non-animal leather that usually known as synthetic or imitation leather. The purpose of this paper is …

Simple Modification For An Apriori Algorithm With Combination Reduction And Iteration Limitation Technique, Adie Wahyudi Oktavia Gama, Ni Made Widnyani

Knowledge Engineering and Data Science

Apriori algorithm is one of the methods with regard to association rules in data mining. This algorithm uses knowledge from an itemset previously formed with frequent occurrence frequencies to form the next itemset. An a priori algorithm generates a combination by iteration methods that are using repeated database scanning process, pairing one product with another product and then recording the number of occurrences of the combination with the minimum limit of support and confidence values. The a priori algorithm will slow down to an expanding database in the process of finding frequent itemset to form association rules. Modification techniques are …

A Review Of Accessing Big Data With Significant Ontologies, Jumah Y.J Sleeman, Jehad A.H Hammad

Knowledge Engineering and Data Science

Ontology Based Data Access (OBDA) is a recently proposed approach which is able to provide a conceptual view on relational data sources. It addresses the problem of the direct access to big data through providing end-users with an ontology that goes between users and sources in which the ontology is connected to the data via mappings. We introduced the languages used to represent the ontologies and the mapping assertions technique that derived the query answering from sources. Query answering is divided into two steps: (i) Ontology rewriting, in which the query is rewritten with respect to the ontology into new …

Time-Varying Parameter System Modeling Method Based On Zonotope-Ellipsoid Double Filtering, Ziyun Wang, Peiyu Wang, Yacong Zhan

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: The traditional system modeling method using zonotopes as the feasible parameter sets islikely to increase the computational complexity of the algorithm due to the increasing dimensions of the zonotope shape matrix. This paper proposes a time-varying parameter modeling systems method based on zonotope-ellipsoid double filtering technique. Considering the time-varying parameters, a zonotope with the minimum volume is obtained during the iterations of the intersection with the constraint strip. After transforming the shape matrix of the zonotope, the dimensionality reduction is performed, instead of directly finding the row sum of the extended shape matrix, to reduce the algorithm conservativeness originated …

Generalized Zero-Inflated Binomial Distribution Model Aimed At Air Quality Data Analysis, Benyue Su, Pengpeng Xu, Sheng Min

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: For the problem of the quality monitoring and counting of excessive gas emissions in chemical industry parks, a generalized zero-inflated binomial distribution model is constructed. Statistics show that the times of number of excessive gas emissions has a typical zero-inflated feature. The traditional zero-inflated Poisson model and negative binomial regression model and so on will underestimate the probability of zero inflation. A generalized zero-inflated binomial distribution model is constructed by extending the traditional binomial regression model to a more general form. This model satisfies the characteristic that the expectation is less than the variance, and better solves the problems …
