Abstract With the development of Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology, the quality of fabricated parts is getting more attention. The present study highlights the predictive model for dimensional accuracy in the FDM process. Three process parameters, namely extruder temperature, layer thickness, and infill density, are considered in the model. To achieve better prediction accuracy, three models are studied, namely multivariate linear regression, Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and Support Vector Regression (SVR). The models are used to characterize the complex relationship between the input variables and dimensions of fabricated parts. Based on the experimental data set, it is found that the ANN model performs better than the multivariate linear regression and SVR models. The ANN model is able to study more quality characteristics of fabricated parts with more process parameters of FDM.

Olives are one of the most important agriculture crops in the world, which are harvested in different stages of growth for various uses. One of the ways to detect the adequate time to process the olives is to determine their moisture content. In this study, to determine the moisture content of olives, a dielectric technique was used in seven periods of harvesting and three different varieties of olive including Oily, Mary and Fishemi. The dielectric properties of the olive fruits were measured using an electronic device in the range of 0.1–30 MHz. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Support Vector Regression (SVR) methods were applied to develop the prediction models by using the obtained data acquired by the system. The best results (R = 0.999 and MSE = 0.014) were obtained by the ANN model with a topology of 384–12–1 (384 features in the input vector, 12 neurons in the hidden layer and 1 output). The results obtained indicated the acceptable accuracy of the dielectric technique combined with the ANN model.

The evolution of machine learning (ML) algorithms provides researchers and engineers with state-of-the-art tools to dynamically model complex relationships. The design and operation of municipal solid waste (MSW) management systems require accurate estimation of generation rates. In this study, we applied rapid, non-linear and non-parametric data driven ML algorithms independently, multi-layer perceptron artificial neural network (MLP-ANN) and support vector regression (SVR) models to predict annual MSW generation rates in Bahrain. Models were trained and tested with MSW generation data for period of 1997–2019. The population, gross domestic product, annual tourist numbers, annual electricity consumption and total annual CO2 emissions were selected as explanatory variables and incorporated into developed models. The zero score normalization (ZSN) and minimum maximum normalization (MMN) methods were utilized to improve the quality of data and subsequently enhances the performance of ML algorithms. Statistical metrics were employed to discriminate performance of MLP-ANN and SVR models. The linear, polynomial, radial basis function (RBF) and sigmoid kernel functions were investigated to find the optimal SVR model. Results showed that RBF-SVR model with R2 value of 0.97% and 4.82% and absolute forecasting error (AFE) for the period of 2008 and 2019 exhibits superior prediction and robustness in comparison to MLP-ANN. The efficacy of MLP-ANN model was also reasonably successful with R2 value of 0.94. It was shown that MMN pre-processing generated optimal MLP-ANN model while ZSN pre-processing produced optimal RBF-SVR model. This work also highlights the importance of application of ML modelling approaches to plan and implement their roadmap for waste management systems by policymakers.

This paper presents architecture of backpropagation Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Support Vector Regression (SVR) models in supervised learning process for cement demand dataset. This study aims to identify the effectiveness of each parameter of mean square error (MSE) indicators for time series dataset. The study varies different random sample in each demand parameter in the network of ANN and support vector function as well. The variations of percent datasets from activation function, learning rate of sigmoid and purelin, hidden layer, neurons, and training function should be applied for ANN. Furthermore, SVR is varied in kernel function, lost function and insensitivity to obtain the best result from its simulation. The best results of this study for ANN activation function is Sigmoid. The amount of data input is 100% or 96 of data, 150 learning rates, one hidden layer, trinlm training function, 15 neurons and 3 total layers. The best results for SVR are six variables that run in optimal condition, kernel function is linear, loss function is ౬-insensitive, and insensitivity was 1. The better results for both methods are six variables. The contribution of this study is to obtain the optimal parameters for specific variables of ANN and SVR.
