Purpose. Disc cutters are the main cutting tools for the Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs). Prediction of the number of consumed disc cutters of TBMs is one of the most significant factors in the tunneling projects. Choosing the right model for predicting the number of consumed disc cutters in mechanized tunneling projects has been the most important mechanized tunneling topics in recent years. Methods. In this research, the prediction of the number of consumed disc cutters considering machine and ground conditions such as Power (KW), Revolutions per minute (RPM) (Cycle/Min), Thrust per Cutter (KN), Geological Strength Index (GSI) in the Sabzkooh water conveyance tunnel has been conducted by multiple linear regression analysis and multiple nonlinear regression, Gene Expression Programming (GEP) method and Support Vector Machine (SVM) approaches. Findings. Results showed that the number of consumed disc cutters for linear regression method is R2 = 0.95 and RMSE = 0.83, nonlinear regression method is – R2 = 0.95 and RMSE = 0.84, Gene Expression Programming (GEP) method is – R2 = 0.94 and RMSE = 0.95, Support Vector Machine (SVM) method is – R2 = 0.98 and RMSE = 0.45. Originality. During the analyses, in order to evaluate the accuracy and efficiency of predictive models, the coefficient of determination (R2) and root mean square error (RMSE) have been used. Practical implications. Results demonstrated that all four methods are effective and have high accuracy but the method of support vector machine has a special superiority over other methods.

Air pollution became fatal issue for humanity and all environment and developed countries unanimously allocated vast investments on monitoring and researches about air pollutants. Soft computing as a novel way for pollutants prediction can be used for measurement tools calibration which can coincidently decrease the expenditures and enhance their ability to adapt quickly. In this paper support vector machine (SVM) and gene expression programming (GEP) as two powerful approaches with reliable results in previous studies, used to predict tropospheric ozone in Tehran metropolitan by using the photochemical precursors and meteorological parameters as predictors. In a comparison between the two approaches, the best model of SVM gave superior results as it depicted the RMSE= 0.0774 and R= 0.8459 while these results of gene expression programming, respectively, are 0.0883 and 0.7938. Sensitivity of O3 against photochemical precursors and meteorological parameters and also for every input parameter, has been analysed discreetly and the gained results imply that PM2.5, PM10, temperature, CO and NO2 are the most effective parameters for O3 values tolerances. For SVM, several kernel tricks used and the best appropriate kernel selected due to its result. Nonetheless, gamma and sin2 values varied for every kernel and in the last radial basis function kernel opted as the best trick in this study. Finally, the best model of both applications revealed, and the resulted models evaluated as reliable and acceptable.

This study evaluates the performance of a set of machine learning techniques in predicting the prognosis of Hodgkin’s lymphoma using clinical factors and gene expression data. Analysed samples from 130 Hodgkin’s lymphoma patients included a small set of clinical variables and more than 54,000 gene features. Machine learning classifiers included three black-box algorithms ( k-nearest neighbour, Artificial Neural Network, and Support Vector Machine) and two methods based on intelligible rules (Decision Tree and the innovative Logic Learning Machine method). Support Vector Machine clearly outperformed any of the other methods. Among the two rule-based algorithms, Logic Learning Machine performed better and identified a set of simple intelligible rules based on a combination of clinical variables and gene expressions. Decision Tree identified a non-coding gene ( XIST) involved in the early phases of X chromosome inactivation that was overexpressed in females and in non-relapsed patients. XIST expression might be responsible for the better prognosis of female Hodgkin’s lymphoma patients.

Pohon kelapa banyak dimanfaatkan oleh manusia, sehingga tumbuhan ini dianggap tumbuhan serbaguna, salah satunya minyak kelapa yang dihasilkan oleh buah pohon kelapa. Produksi jumlah minyak kelapa menjadi bagian penting disetiap perusahaan yang bergerak di bidang produksi dengan tujuan mencapai target hasil produksi. Namaun Produksi minyak setiap hari mengalami perubahan fluktuatif. Perusahaan sangat memerlukan prediksi jumlah produksi. Penelitian ini bermaksud membandingakn metode support vector machine dan linear regression mengunakan fitur seleksi backward elimination berdasarkan data time series Sales Order. Hasil penelitian pada dataset sales order dengan menggunakan metode Support Vector Machine (SVM) didapatkan RMSE 0,127, dengan menggunakan metode SVM dan Backward Elimination (BE) didapatkan RMSE 0,115, dengan metode Linear Regression (LR) didapatkan RMSE 0,118 dan dengan menggunakan metode LR dan Backward Elimination didapatkan RMSE 0,118.  Dari hasil perbandingan tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa kinerja SVM menggunakan Backward Elimination lebih baik dibanding SVM, LR dan LR menggunakan Backward Elimination

Abstract This paper analyses the effectiveness of determining gas concentrations by using a prototype WO3 resistive gas sensor together with fluctuation enhanced sensing. We have earlier demonstrated that this method can determine the composition of a gas mixture by using only a single sensor. In the present study, we apply Least-Squares Support-Vector-Machine-based (LS-SVM-based) nonlinear regression to determine the gas concentration of each constituent in a mixture. We confirmed that the accuracy of the estimated gas concentration could be significantly improved by applying temperature change and ultraviolet irradiation of the WO3 layer. Fluctuation-enhanced sensing allowed us to predict the concentration of both component gases.
