Assistant Conversational Agents (chatbots) are becoming increasingly complex and sophisticated since they are enabled to understand and respond to human language. Chatbots have varying organizational functions, from customer support to personal assistance, and have dominated the digital market...

The nurse-scheduling is a common problem in hospitals. The problem requires a timetable considering hospital regulations and nurses' demands and preferences. This study proposes an integrated Lexicographic goal programming and dynamic satisfaction function model for solving nurse-scheduling...

Follow the leader (FTL) algorithm is a newly developed optimization algorithm inspired by a sheep's movement within a flock. FTL has been successfully implemented to solve power prediction problems. However, the probability of falling in local optima is high due to randomness in the step...

Training a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) from scratch is time-consuming and expensive. In this study, we propose implementing the DenseNet architecture for classification of AD in three classes. Our approach leverages transfer learning architectures as the base model and showcases superior...

Identifying models with Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) is crucial in signal processing and system identification. This paper addresses the challenges of IIR model identification by proposing an improved version of the Artificial Rabbits Optimization (ARO) algorithm called improved ARO (IARO)....

Malaria represents a potentially fatal communicable illness triggered by the Plasmodium parasite. This disease is transmitted to humans through the bites of Anopheles mosquitoes that carry the infection. This disease has significant and devastating consequences on the health systems of fragile...

The communities in a network have distinct characteristics and interrelationships. Community discovery methods based on node embedding and deep learning have surpassed spectral clustering and statistical inference as the preferred methods for handling high-dimensional network data. Community...

Occupational accidents are a significant concern, resulting in human suffering, economic crises, and social issues. Despite ongoing efforts to comprehend their causes and predict their occurrences, the use of machine learning models in this domain remains limited. This study aims to address this...

The lack of new and advanced technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and Fog computing, makes it challenging to trace the origin of agricultural products in supply chains. In addition, the system's traditional centralized architecture cannot provide a trusted traceability service for...

Artificial intelligence (AI) applications are already integrated and expected to expand within the aviation sociotechnical ecosystem. Machine Learning (ML) models are capable and could excel on accident report classification tasks within the aviation context, assuming adequate and proper...
