Coal is the mixture of organic matters, called as macerals, and inorganic matters. Macerals are categorized into three major groups, i.e., vitrinite, inertinite, and liptinite. The maceral group identification serves an important role in coking and non-coking coal processes that are used mainly in steel and iron industries. Hence, it becomes important to efficiently characterize these maceral groups. Currently, industries use the optical polarized microscope to distinguish the maceral groups. However, the microscopical analysis is a manual method which is time-consuming and provides subjective outcome due to human interference. Therefore, an automated approach that can identify the maceral groups accurately in less processing time is strongly needed in industries. Computer-based image analysis methods are revolutionizing the industries because of its accuracy and efficacy. In this study, an intelligent maceral group identification system is proposed using markov-fuzzy clustering approach. This approach is an integration of fuzzy sets and the markov random field, which is employed towards maceral group identification in a clustering framework. The proposed model shows better results when compared with the standard cluster-based segmentation techniques. The results from the suggested model have also been validated against the outcome of manual methods, and the feasibility is tested using performance metrics.

With the rapid development of commercial credit mechanisms, credit funds have become fundamental in promoting the development of manufacturing corporations. However, large-scale, imbalanced credit application information poses a challenge to accurate bankruptcy predictions. A novel multi-stage ensemble model with fuzzy clustering and optimized classifier composition is proposed herein by combining the fuzzy clustering-based classifier selection method, the random subspace (RS)-based classifier composition method, and the genetic algorithm (GA)-based classifier compositional optimization method to achieve accuracy in predicting bankruptcy among corporates. To overcome the inherent inflexibility of traditional hard clustering methods, a new fuzzy clustering-based classifier selection method is proposed based on the mini-batch k-means algorithm to obtain the best performing base classifiers for generating classifier compositions. The RS-based classifier composition method was applied to enhance the robustness of candidate classifier compositions by randomly selecting several subspaces in the original feature space. The GA-based classifier compositional optimization method was applied to optimize the parameters of the promising classifier composition through the iterative mechanism of the GA. Finally, six datasets collected from the real world were tested with four evaluation indicators to assess the performance of the proposed model. The experimental results showed that the proposed model outperformed the benchmark models with higher predictive accuracy and efficiency.

Ganesha University of Education or Undiksha is one of the state universities in Bali, precisely in the city of Singaraja. In the admission of new students, Undiksha applies 3 admissions paths, as follows the State University National Admission Selection (SNMPTN), State University Joint Entrance Test (SBMPTN), and Independent Entrance Test (SMBJM) consisting of 2 parts namely Computer Based Test (CBT) and Interests and Talents. Each year the committees are busy with the re-registration of prospective students. In determining the number of students quota for re-registration, they are still using the manual method in form of an excel file, so they want to use a system to do the process. These problems can be overcome by using “Intelligent System for Re-Registration of New Students Prediction using the Naive Bayes Method (Case Study: Ganesha University of Education)”. The Naive Bayes method is used to determine the re-register probability of the new students so that the number of students who re-register can be determining the new students quota. In developing the system, the researcher use the CRISP-DM methodology as a standard of data mining process as well as a research method. The results of this prediction system research show that the system can predict well with the average predictive system accuracy value of 75.56%.

There are a number of traditional models designed to segment customers, however none of them have the ability to establish non-strict customer segments. One crucial area that can meet this requirement is known as soft computing. Although there have been studies related to the usage of soft computing techniques for segmentation, they are not based on the effective two-stage methodology. The aim of this study is to propose a two-stage segmentation model based on soft computing using the purchasing behaviours of customers in a data mining framework and to make a comparison of the proposed model with a traditional two-stage segmentation model. Segmentation was performed via neuro-fuzzy two stage-clustering approach for a secondary data set, which included more than 300,000 unique customer records, from a UK retail company. The findings indicated that the model provided stronger insights and has greater managerial implications in comparison with the traditional two-stage method with respect to six segmentation effectiveness indicators.

This chapter presents an ensemble-based feature selection with long short-term memory (LSTM) model. A deep recurrent learning model is proposed for classifying network intrusion. This model uses ensemble-based feature selection (EFS) for selecting the appropriate features from the dataset and long short-term memory for the classification of network intrusions. The EFS combines five feature selection techniques, namely information gain, gain ratio, chi-square, correlation-based feature selection, and symmetric uncertainty-based feature selection. The experiments were conducted using the standard benchmark NSL-KDD dataset and implemented using tensor flow and python. The proposed model is evaluated using the classification performance metrics and also compared with all the 41 features without any feature selection as well as with each individual feature selection technique and classified using LSTM. The performance study showed that the proposed model performs better, with 99.8% accuracy, with a higher detection and lower false alarm rates.
