Abstract The article presents a preflow approach for the parametric maximum flow problem, derived from the rules of constructing concepts hierarchy in text corpus. Just as generating a taxonomy can be equivalently reduced to ranking concepts within a text corpus according to a defined criterion, the proposed preflow bipush-relabel algorithm computes the maximum flow - the optimum ow that respects certain ranking constraints. The parametric preflow algorithm for generating two level concepts hierarchy in text corpus works in a parametric bipartite association network and, on each step, the maximum possible amount of ow is pushed along conditional augmenting two-arcs directed paths in the parametric residual network, for the maximum interval of the parameter values. The obtained parametric maximum ow generates concepts hierarchies (taxonomies) in text corpus for different degrees of association values described by the parameter values.

In this paper, we develop a boronizing process simulation model based on fuzzy neural network (FNN) approach for estimating the thickness of the FeB and Fe2B layers. The model represents a synthesis of two artificial intelligence techniques; the fuzzy logic and the neural network. Characteristics of the fuzzy neural network approach for the modelling of boronizing process are presented in this study. In order to validate the results of our calculation model, we have used the learning base of experimental data of the powder-pack boronizing of Fe-15Cr alloy in the temperature range from 800 to 1050 °C and for a treatment time ranging from 0.5 to 12 h. The obtained results show that it is possible to estimate the influence of different process parameters. Comparing the results obtained by the artificial neural network to experimental data, the average error generated from the fuzzy neural network was 3% for the FeB layer and 3.5% for the Fe2B layer. The results obtained from the fuzzy neural network approach are in agreement with the experimental data. Finally, the utilization of fuzzy neural network approach is well adapted for the boronizing kinetics of Fe-15Cr alloy.
