The precise prediction of the streamflow of reservoirs is of considerable importance for many activities relating to water resource management, such as reservoir operation and flood and drought control and protection. This study aimed to develop and evaluate the applicability of a hidden Markov model (HMM) and two hybrid models, i.e., the support vector machine-genetic algorithm (SVM-GA) and artificial neural fuzzy inference system-genetic algorithm (ANFIS-GA), for reservoir inflow forecasting at the King Fahd dam, Saudi Arabia. The results obtained by the HMM model were compared with those for the two hybrid models ANFIS-GA and SVM-GA, and with those for individual SVM and ANFIS models based on performance evaluation indicators and visual inspection. The results of the comparison revealed that the ANFIS-GA model and ANFIS model provided superior results for forecasting monthly inflow with satisfactory accuracy in both training (R2 = 0.924, 0.857) and testing (R2 = 0.842, 0.810) models. The performance evaluation results for the developed models showed that the GA-induced improvement in the ANFIS and SVR forecasts was matched by an approximately 25% decrease in RMSE and around a 13% increase in Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency. The promising accuracy of the proposed models demonstrates their potential for applications in monthly inflow forecasting in the present semiarid region.

Burrs are undesirable materials beyond the work piece surface during drilling or other machining processes, thus this should be as less as possible during manufacturing. The experimental study has been conducted according to the full factorial design method. A total of 27 experiments were conducted by drilling on an Aluminum 6061T6 plate by choosing three factors and three levels of process parameters like drill diameter, point angle and spindle speed. In this research article, two predictive models, namely, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system and support vector regression, are developed using experimental data to estimate burr height and burr thickness. Then, these predictive models have been used to find out optimum process parameters for minimum burr height and burr thickness using genetic algorithm. It has been found that both the models are able to predict burr size and thickness with good accuracy, while the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system performs better than support vector regression.

E-commerce has become a daily activity in human life. In it, the opinion and past experience related to particular product of others is playing a prominent role in selecting the product from the online market. In this chapter, the authors consider Tweets as a point of source to express users' emotions on particular subjects. This is scored with different sentiment scoring techniques. Since the patterns used in social media are relatively short, exact matches are uncommon, and taking advantage of partial matches allows one to significantly improve the accuracy of analysis on sentiments. The authors also focus on applying artificial neural fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to train the model for better opinion mining. The scored sentiments are then classified using machine learning algorithms like support vector machine (SVM), decision tree, and naive Bayes.

Noise produced by various noise sources in the mines is considered as a serious environmental problem. Exposure to such noise levels is considered as hazardous to workers working in such conditions. Noise assessment was exercised in a highly mechanized opencast bauxite mine, located in eastern India according to the Director General of Mines Safety Technical Circular No. 18 of 1975 and No.5 of 1990. There are numerous approaches in the literature on machinery noise prediction based on statistical models, soft computing techniques such as fuzzy inference system, artificial neural networks, support vector machines, adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system and other classification methods. The main drawback of statistical models, fuzzy inference system, artificial neural network, support vector machine and adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system is lack of interpretation for human and optimization issues. An attempt has been made to examine the applicability of a genetic algorithm, to take the advantage of genetic structures to find an optimal sound pressure level of the machinery noise taking into consideration the distance, directivity index, sound power level and other attenuation parameters under several noisy operating conditions according to ISO 9613-2:1996, ISO 6395:2008 and other related standards. Genetic algorithm used in this article has several advantages: it can be applied for low, high and dynamical system and uses a simple procedure to determine the order and the parameters with high accuracy. Genetic algorithm model is trained and tested in MATLAB to find the optimum parameters. Experimental results show that genetic algorithm is able to converge and find the optimum values faster along with acceptable computational time. By comparing the predicted values with the measured values, it proves the effectiveness of the proposed model as a useful and efficient method for machinery noise optimization problems.
