Background: Sentiment analysis of big data such as Twitter primarily aids the organizations with the potential of surveying public opinions or emotions for the products and events associated with them. Objective: In this paper, we propose the application of a deep learning architecture namely the Convolution Neural Network. The proposed model is implemented on benchmark Twitter corpus (SemEval 2016 and SemEval 2017) and empirically analyzed with other baseline supervised soft computing techniques. The pragmatics of the work includes modelling the behavior of trained Convolution Neural Network on wellknown Twitter datasets for sentiment classification. The performance efficacy of the proposed model has been compared and contrasted with the existing soft computing techniques like Naïve Bayesian, Support Vector Machines, k-Nearest Neighbor, Multilayer Perceptron and Decision Tree using precision, accuracy, recall, and F-measure as key performance indicators. Methods: Majority of the studies emphasize on the utilization of feature mining using lexical or syntactic feature extraction that are often unequivocally articulated through words, emoticons and exclamation marks. Subsequently, CNN, a deep learning based soft computing technique is used to improve the sentiment classifier’s performance. Results: The empirical analysis validates that the proposed implementation of the CNN model outperforms the baseline supervised learning algorithms with an accuracy of around 87% to 88%. Conclusion: Statistical analysis validates that the proposed CNN model outperforms the existing techniques and thus can enhance the performance of sentiment classification viability and coherency.


Weather forecasting and warning is the application of science and technology to predict the state of the weather for a future time of a given location. The emergence of adverse effects of weather has endangered the life of general public in previous years. The unpredicted flood and super cyclone in many places have created havoc. The government and private agencies are working on its behaviours but still it is challenging and incomplete. But, the application of soft computing techniques in weather prediction has made a significant perfomance now a days. This research work presents the comparative study of soft computing techniques like MultiLayer Perceptron(MLP), Support Vector Machine(SVM) and J48 Decision Tree for forecasting the weather of Delhi with ten years data comprising of temperature, dew, humidity, air pressure, wind speed and visibility. This paper tries to describe the comparison among above models using four different error values like Relative Absolute Error(RAE), Mean Absolute Error(MAE), Root Mean Squared Error(RMSE) and Root Relative Squared Error(R2 ) with a proposed model by defining new algorithm. Further the performance can be enhanced if textmining will be applied in this proposed model.

This paper presents an overview of research works on the utilizing of soft computing in the optimization of process parameters and in the prediction of thin film properties in sputtering processes. The papers from this review were obtained from relevant databases and from various scientific journals. The papers collected were published from 2008 to 2012. The focus of the review is to provide an outlook on the utilization of soft computing techniques in sputtering processes. Based on the review, the soft computing techniques which have been applied so far are ANN, GA and Fuzzy Logic. The first finding of this review is that soft computing technique is a promising and more reliable approach to optimize and predict process parameters compared to the traditional methods. The second finding is that the utilizing of soft computing techniques in sputtering processes are still limited and still in exploratory phase as they have not yet been extensively and stably applied. The techniques applied are also limited to ANN, GA and Fuzzy, whereas the exploration into other techniques is also necessary to be conducted in order to seek the most reliable technique and so as to expand the application of soft computing approach. Future research could focus on the exploration of other soft computing techniques for optimization in order to find the best optimization techniques based on the specific processes.

Optimal energy extraction under partial shading conditions from a photovoltaic (PV) array is particularly challenging. Conventional techniques fail to achieve the global maximum power point (GMPP) under such conditions, while soft computing techniques have provided better results. The main contribution of this paper is to devise an algorithm to track the GMPP accurately and efficiently. For this purpose, a ten check (TC) algorithm was proposed. The effectiveness of this algorithm was tested with different shading patterns. Results were compared with the top conventional algorithm perturb and observe (P&O) and the best soft computing technique flower pollination algorithm (FPA). It was found that the proposed algorithm outperformed them. Analysis demonstrated that the devised algorithm achieved the GMPP efficiently and accurately as compared to the P&O and the FPA algorithms. Simulations were performed in MATLAB/Simulink.

In this study, the ilmenite content in beach placer sand was estimated using seven soft computing techniques, namely random forest (RF), artificial neural network (ANN), k-nearest neighbors (kNN), cubist, support vector machine (SVM), stochastic gradient boosting (SGB), and classification and regression tree (CART). The 405 beach placer borehole samples were collected from Southern Suoi Nhum deposit, Binh Thuan province, Vietnam, to test the feasibility of these soft computing techniques in estimating ilmenite content. Heavy mineral analysis indicated that valuable minerals in the placer sand are zircon, ilmenite, leucoxene, rutile, anatase, and monazite. In this study, five materials, namely rutile, anatase, leucoxene, zircon, and monazite, were used as the input variables to estimate ilmenite content based on the above mentioned soft computing models. Of the whole dataset, 325 samples were used to build the regarded soft computing models; 80 remaining samples were used for the models’ verification. Root-mean-squared error (RMSE), determination coefficient (R2), a simple ranking method, and residuals analysis technique were used as the statistical criteria for assessing the model performances. The numerical experiments revealed that soft computing techniques are capable of estimating the content of ilmenite with high accuracy. The residuals analysis also indicated that the SGB model was the most suitable for determining the ilmenite content in the context of this research.

Abstract Fluctuation of groundwater levels around the world is an important theme in hydrological research. Rising water demand, faulty irrigation practices, mismanagement of soil and uncontrolled exploitation of aquifers are some of the reasons why groundwater levels are fluctuating. In order to effectively manage groundwater resources, it is important to have accurate readings and forecasts of groundwater levels. Due to the uncertain and complex nature of groundwater systems, the development of soft computing techniques (data-driven models) in the field of hydrology has significant potential. This study employs two soft computing techniques, namely, extreme learning machine (ELM) and support vector machine (SVM) to forecast groundwater levels at two observation wells located in Canada. A monthly data set of eight years from 2006 to 2014 consisting of both hydrological and meteorological parameters (rainfall, temperature, evapotranspiration and groundwater level) was used for the comparative study of the models. These variables were used in various combinations for univariate and multivariate analysis of the models. The study demonstrates that the proposed ELM model has better forecasting ability compared to the SVM model for monthly groundwater level forecasting.

AbstractRainfall, being one of the most important components of the hydrological cycle, plays an extremely important role in agriculture-based economies like India. This paper presents a comparison between three soft computing techniques, namely Bayesian regression (BR), support vector regression (SVR), and wavelet regression (WR), for monthly rainfall forecast in Assam, India. A WR model is a combination of discrete wavelet transform and linear regression. Monthly rainfall data for 102 years from 1901 to 2002 at 21 stations were used for this study. The performances of different models were evaluated based on the mean absolute error, root mean square error, correlation coefficient, and Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency coefficient. Based on model statistics, WR was found to be the most accurate followed by SVR and BR. The efficiencies for the BR, SVR, and WR models were found to be 32.8%, 52.9%, and 64.03%, respectively. From the spatial analysis of model performances, it was found that the models performed best for the upper Assam region followed by lower, southern, and middle regions, respectively.
