Abstract Smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0 are transforming traditional manufacturing processes by utilizing innovative technologies such as the artificial intelligence (AI) and internet of things (IoT) to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure product quality. In light of the recent advancement of Industry 4.0, identifying defects has become important for ensuring the quality of products during the manufacturing process. In this research, we present an ensemble methodology for accurately classifying hot rolled steel surface defects by combining the strengths of four pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures: VGG16, VGG19, Xception, and Mobile-Net V2, compensating for their… More >

Abstract COVID-19 pandemic has affected more than 144 million people and spread to over 200 countries. The prediction of COVID-19 behaviour and trend is crucial to prevent its spreading. Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is Asia’s fifth largest country, and it hosts the two holiest cities of the Islamic world. KSA hosts millions of pilgrims every year, and it is of great importance to predict the COVID-19 spread to organize these religious activities and bring life to normality in KSA. This study proposes four tree-based ensemble methods to predict the COVID-19 daily new cases in KSA.… More >
