Mining sequential rules with itemset constraints Appl. Intell. (IF 3.325) Pub Date : 2021-03-01 Trang Van; Bac Le
Mining sequential rules from a sequence database usually returns a set of rules with great cardinality. However, in real world applications, the end-users are often interested in a subset of sequential rules. Particularly, they may consider only rules that contain a specific set of items. The naïve strategy is to apply such itemset constraints into the post-processing step. However, such approaches

To address these problems, a new adaptive and intelligent mechanical fault diagnosis method for DC motors based on variational mode decomposition (VMD), singular value decomposition (SVD), and residual deep

Cost-sensitive probability for weighted voting in an ensemble model for multi-class classification problems Appl. Intell. (IF 3.325) Pub Date : 2021-01-06 Artittayapron Rojarath, Wararat Songpan
Ensemble learning is an algorithm that utilizes various types of classification models. This algorithm can enhance the prediction efficiency of component models. However, the efficiency of combining models typically depends on the diversity and accuracy of the predicted results of ensemble models. However, the problem of multi-class data is still encountered. In the proposed approach, cost-sensitive
