Summary

In the last two decades, the topic of computational intelligence (CI) has undergone several definitions. Adaptation and self-organization algorithms and implementations that permit or facilitate appropriate behaviours (intelligent behaviour) in complex and dynamic settings are included in the notion of CI. One or more properties of reason, such as generalisation, discovery, association, and abstraction, are said to be present in this computer paradigm, which demonstrates a capacity to adapt to new conditions and learn from them. Many of the issues we face today in the area of engineering are becoming more complicated because of the prevalence of amorphous structures and behaviours, as well as large-scale, low dependability, and a scarcity of shared or comprehensive information. This intricacy necessitated that the scope of CI is widened to highlight adaptability.

 

In order to operate a system similar to human thinking, CI relies on three primary components: artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic, and evolutionary computation, both of which employ machine learning theories to cope with uncertainty. Hybrid CI models have shown a greater performance and application level in numerous fields of engineering than conventional CI models, which had serious limitations such time-consuming human participation and a lack of resilience. Metaheuristic algorithms may be utilised to improve base model hyper-parameters (CI models), adding extra value to frequently used base intelligence approaches.

 

This Special Issue focuses on the creation of unique hybrid intelligence strategies for handling regression, classification, and time series challenges. We invite scholars to submit original research papers that will help to promote ongoing research on the use of emerging CI and hybrid CI systems to assess and solve complex engineering challenges. In addition, state-of-the-art research reports, reviews, and critical evaluations of CI and hybrid CI systems are most welcome.

    Abstract This study was aimed to prepare landslide susceptibility maps for the Pithoragarh district in Uttarakhand, India, using advanced ensemble models that combined Radial Basis Function Networks (RBFN) with three ensemble learning techniques: DAGGING (DG), MULTIBOOST (MB), and ADABOOST (AB). This combination resulted in three distinct ensemble models: DG-RBFN, MB-RBFN, and AB-RBFN. Additionally, a traditional weighted method, Information Value (IV), and a benchmark machine learning (ML) model, Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network (MLP), were employed for comparison and validation. The models were developed using ten landslide conditioning factors, which included slope, aspect, elevation, curvature, land cover, geomorphology,… More >

    Abstract Electric motor-driven systems are core components across industries, yet they’re susceptible to bearing faults. Manual fault diagnosis poses safety risks and economic instability, necessitating an automated approach. This study proposes FTCNNLSTM (Fine-Tuned TabNet Convolutional Neural Network Long Short-Term Memory), an algorithm combining Convolutional Neural Networks, Long Short-Term Memory Networks, and Attentive Interpretable Tabular Learning. The model preprocesses the CWRU (Case Western Reserve University) bearing dataset using segmentation, normalization, feature scaling, and label encoding. Its architecture comprises multiple 1D Convolutional layers, batch normalization, max-pooling, and LSTM blocks with dropout, followed by batch normalization, dense layers, and More >

    Shengdong Cheng, Juncheng Gao, Hongning Qi
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.141, No.1, pp. 871-892, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2024.052830

    Abstract Driven piles are used in many geological environments as a practical and convenient structural component. Hence, the determination of the drivability of piles is actually of great importance in complex geotechnical applications. Conventional methods of predicting pile drivability often rely on simplified physical models or empirical formulas, which may lack accuracy or applicability in complex geological conditions. Therefore, this study presents a practical machine learning approach, namely a Random Forest (RF) optimized by Bayesian Optimization (BO) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), which not only enhances prediction accuracy but also better adapts to varying geological environments… More >
