The widespread use of information and communication technologies, database technologies and the Internet has led to the development of specialized digital libraries. These digital libraries serve a huge number of different users and play an important role as repositories and providers of information and knowledge. Therefore, the automatic extraction of useful information from texts stored in digital libraries is becoming an increasingly important research topic in the field of data mining. The article discusses the statistical analysis of texts in the digital library arXiv.org to identify the most common terms, bigrams and trigrams. After the hyper-parameters optimization process of neural network models, the trend prediction results in the use of terms in the field of computer sciences are presented. By analyzing statistics and predicting usage frequency of bigram and trigram terms our findings provide evidence that papers concerned with machine learning, reinforcement learning, generative adversarial network, convolutional neural network and recurrent neural network can be seen as main future research trend in Computer science in the next 3 years. Moreover, topics related to will experience a sudden increase in usage frequency. Being able to predict scientific trends in advance could potentially revolutionize the way science is done, for instance, by enabling funding agencies to optimize allocation of resources towards promising research areas.

The purpose of this research is the evaluation of artificial neural network models in the prediction of stresses in a 400 MVA power transformer winding conductor caused by the circulation of fault currents. The models were compared considering the training, validation, and test data errors’ behavior. Different combinations of hyperparameters were analyzed based on the variation of architectures, optimizers, and activation functions. The data for the process was created from finite element simulations performed in the FEMM software. The design of the Artificial Neural Network was performed using the Keras framework. As a result, a model with one hidden layer was the best suited architecture for the problem at hand, with the optimizer Adam and the activation function ReLU. The final Artificial Neural Network model predictions were compared with the Finite Element Method results, showing good agreement but with a much shorter solution time.

Buried pipes are extensively used for oil transportation from offshore platforms. Under unfavorable loading combinations, the pipe’s uplift resistance may be exceeded, which may result in excessive deformations and significant disruptions. This paper presents findings from a series of small-scale tests performed on pipes buried in geogrid-reinforced sands, with the measured peak uplift resistance being used to calibrate advanced numerical models employing neural networks. Multilayer perceptron (MLP) and Radial Basis Function (RBF) primary structure types have been used to train two neural network models, which were then further developed using bagging and boosting ensemble techniques. Correlation coefficients in excess of 0.954 between the measured and predicted peak uplift resistance have been achieved. The results show that the design of pipelines can be significantly improved using the proposed novel, reliable and robust soft computing models.
