The critical frequency foF2 of the ionosphere F2 layer is one of the most important parameters of the ionosphere. Based on the Elman neural network (ENN), this paper constructs a single station forecasting model to predict foF2 one hour ahead. In order to avoid the network falling into local minimum, the model is optimized by the improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO). The input parameters used in the model include local time, seasonal information, solar cycle information and magnetic activity information. Data of the Wuhan Station from 2008 to 2016 were used to train and test the model. The prediction results of foF2 show that the root mean square error (RMSE) of the Elman neural network model is 4.30% lower than that of the back-propagation neural network (BPNN) model. The RMSE is further reduced by 8.92% after using the IPSO to optimize the model. This indicates that the Elman neural network model optimized by the improved particle swarm optimization is superior to the BP neural network and Elman neural network in the forecast of foF2 one hour ahead at Wuhan station.

News popularity is the maximum growth of attention given for particular news article. The popularity of online news depends on various factors such as the number of social media, the number of visitor comments, the number of Likes, etc. It is therefore necessary to build an automatic decision support system to predict the popularity of the news as it will help in business intelligence too. The work presented in this study aims to find the best model to predict the popularity of online news using machine learning methods. In this work, the result analysis is performed by applying Co-relation algorithm, particle swarm optimization and principal component analysis. For performance evaluation support vector machine, naïve bayes, k-nearest neighbor and neural network classifiers are used to classify the popular and unpopular data. From the experimental results, it is observed that support vector machine and naïve bayes outperforms better with co-relation algorithm as well as k-NN and neural network outperforms better with particle swarm optimization.
