This study experimented the performance of categorization methods using the kNN classifier. Most sample based automatic text categorization techniques like the kNN classifier reduces the feature set of the training documents. We sought to find out which percentage reductions in the feature set would result in high performances. In addition, the kNN classifier has to find the k number of training documents most similar to the test documents in the training documents. We sought to verify the most appropriate k value through experiments.

Some previous works for nearest neighbor (NN) query processing technique can treat a case that query/data are both moving objects. However, they cannot find exact result owing to vagueness of criterion. In order to escape their limitations and get exact result, we propose new NN query techniques, exact CTNN (continuous trajectory NN) query, approximate CTNN query, and dynamic CTNN query. These are all superior to pervious works, by reducing of number of calculation, considering of trajectory information, and using of continuous query concept. Using these techniques, we can solve any situations and types of NN query in location-aware environment.

Due to COVID19 pandemic, most of educational institutions and schools changed the traditional way of teaching to online teaching and learning using well-known Learning Management Systems (LMS) such as Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard, etc. Accordingly, LMS started to generate a large data related to students' characteristics and achievements and other course-related information. This makes it difficult to teachers to monitor students' behaviour and performance. Therefore, a need to support teachers with a tool alerting student who might be in risk based on their recorded activities and achievements in adopted LMS in the school. This paper focuses on the benefits of using recorded data in LMS platforms, specifically Moodle, to predict students' performance by analysing their behavioural data and engagement activities using data mining techniques. As part of the overall process, this study encountered the task of extracting and selecting relevant data features for predicting performance, along with designing the framework and choosing appropriate machine learning techniques. The collected data underwent pre-processing operations to remove random partitions, empty values, duplicates, and code the data. Different machine learning techniques, including k-NN, TREE, Ensembled Tree, SVM, and MLPNNs were applied to the processed data. The results showed that the MLPNNs technique outperformed other classification techniques, achieving a classification accuracy of 93%, while SVM and k-NN achieved 90% and 87% respectively. This indicates the possibility for future research to investigate incorporating other neural network methods for categorizing students using data from LMS.

Structural design has an imperative role in deciding the failure possibility of a Reinforced Concrete (RC) structure. Recent research works achieved the goal of predicting the structural failure of the RC structure with the assistance of machine learning techniques. Previously, the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) has been trained supported by Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to classify RC structures with reasonable accuracy. Though, keeping in mind the sensitivity in predicting the structural failure, more accurate models are still absent in the context of Machine Learning. Since the efficiency of multi-objective optimization over single objective optimization techniques is well established. Thus, the motivation of the current work is to employ a Multi-objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA) to train the Neural Network (NN) based model. In the present work, the NN has been trained with MOGA to minimize the Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) and Maximum Error (ME) toward optimizing the weight vector of the NN. The model has been tested by using a dataset consisting of 150 RC structure buildings. The proposed NN-MOGA based model has been compared with Multi-layer perceptron-feed-forward network (MLP-FFN) and NN-PSO based models in terms of several performance metrics. Experimental results suggested that the NN-MOGA has outperformed other existing well known classifiers with a reasonable improvement over them. Meanwhile, the proposed NN-MOGA achieved the superior accuracy of 93.33% and F-measure of 94.44%, which is superior to the other classifiers in the present study.

With the increasing use of the Internet and electronic documents, automatic text categorization becomes imperative. Several machine learning algorithms have been proposed for text categorization. The k-nearest neighbor algorithm (kNN) is known to be one of the best state of the art classifiers when used for text categorization. However, kNN suffers from limitations such as high computation when classifying new instances. Instance selection techniques have emerged as highly competitive methods to improve kNN through data reduction. However previous works have evaluated those approaches only on structured datasets. In addition, their performance has not been examined over the text categorization domain where the dimensionality and size of the dataset is very high. Motivated by these observations, this paper investigates and analyzes the impact of instance selection on kNN-based text categorization in terms of various aspects such as classification accuracy, classification efficiency, and data reduction.

Recognizing finger movements have been used as a intuitive way of human-computer interaction. In this study, we implement an wearable device for finger motion recognition and evaluate the accuracy of several ML (Machine learning) techniques. Not only HMM (Hidden markov model) and DTW (Dynamic time warping) techniques that have been traditionally used as time series data analysis, but also NN (Neural network) technique are applied to compare and analyze the accuracy of each technique. In order to minimize the computational requirement, we also apply the pre-processing to each ML techniques. Our extensive evaluations demonstrate that the NN-based gesture recognition system achieves 99.1% recognition accuracy while the HMM and DTW achieve 96.6% and 95.9% recognition accuracy, respectively.

Domain Name Systems (DNS) provide critical performance in directing Internet traffic. It is a significant duty of DNS service providers to protect DNS servers from bandwidth attacks. Data mining techniques may identify different trends in detecting anomalies, but these approaches are insufficient to provide adequate methods for querying traffic data in significant network environments. The patterns can enable the providers of DNS services to find anomalies. Accordingly, this research has used a new approach to find the anomalies using the Neural Network (NN) because intrusion detection techniques or conventional rule-based anomaly are insufficient to detect general DNS anomalies using multi-enterprise network traffic data obtained from network traffic data (from different organizations). NN was developed, and its results were measured to determine the best performance in anomaly detection using DNS query data. Going through the R² results, it was found that NN could satisfactorily perform the DNS anomaly detection process. Based on the results, the security weaknesses and problems related to unpredictable matters could be practically distinguished, and many could be avoided in advance. Based on the R² results, the NN could perform remarkably well in general DNS anomaly detection processing in this study.

Case-based reasoning (CBR) is one of the most widely applied data mining techniques and has proven its effectiveness in various domains. Since CBR is basically based on k-Nearest Neighbors (NN) method, the value of k affects the performance of CBR model directly. Once the value of k is set, it is fixed for the lifetime of the CBR model. However, if the value is set greater or smaller than the optimal value, the performance of CBR model will be deteriorated. In this research, we propose a new method of composing the NN set using similarity scores as themselves, which we shall call s-NN method, rather than using the fixed value of k. In the s-NN method, the different number of nearest neighbors can be selected for each new case. Performance evaluation using the data from UCI Machine Learning Repository shows that the CBR model adopting the s-NN method outperforms the CBR model adopting the traditional k-NN method.

Recently there has been much interest in applying data mining to computer network intrusion detection. A new approach, based on the k-Nearest Neighbour(kNN) classifier, is used to classify Program behaviour as normal or intrusive. Each system call is treated as a word and the collection of system calls over each program execution as a document. These documents are then classified using kNN classifier, a Popular method in text mining. A simple example illustrates the proposed procedure.

The paper describes the study of global approximate optimization utilizing soft computing techniques such as genetic algorithms (GA's), neural networks (NN's), and fuzzy inference systems(FIS). GA's provide the increasing probability of locating a global optimum over the entire design space associated with multimodality and nonlinearity. NN's can be used as a tool for function approximations, a rapid reanalysis model for subsequent use in design optimization. FIS facilitates to handle the quantitative design information under the case where the training data samples are not sufficiently provided or uncertain information is included in design modeling. Properties of soft computing techniques affect the quality of global approximate model. Evolutionary fuzzy modeling (EFM) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) are briefly introduced for structural optimization problem in this context. The paper presents the success of EFM depends on how optimally the fuzzy membership parameters are selected and how fuzzy rules are generated.
