This paper presents the application of machine learning (ML) methods in setting up a model with the aim of predicting the energy efficiency of seagoing ships in the case of a vessel for the transport of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). The ML algorithm is learned from shipboard automation system measurement data, noon logbook reports, and […]

Particle-Swarm-Optimization-Enhanced Radial-Basis- Function-Kernel-Based Adaptive Filtering Applied to Maritime Data
The real-life signals captured by different measurement systems (such as modern maritime transport characterized by challenging and varying operating conditions) are often subject to various types of noise and other external factors in the data collection and transmission processes. Therefore, the filtering algorithms are required to reduce the noise level in measured signals, thus enabling […]
RANSAC-Based Signal Denoising Using Compressive Sensing
In this paper, we present an approach to the reconstruction of signals exhibiting sparsity in a transformation domain, having some heavily disturbed samples. This sparsity-driven signal recovery exploits a carefully suited random sampling consensus (RANSAC) methodology for the selection of a subset of inlier samples. To this aim, two fundamental properties are used: A signal […]
XAOM: A method for automatic alignment and orientation of radiographs for computer-aided medical diagnosis
Background and objectives: Computer-aided diagnosis relies on machine learning algorithms that require filtered and preprocessed data as the input. Aligning the image in the desired direction is an additional manual step in post- processing, commonly overlooked due to workload issues. Several state-of-the-art approaches for fracture detection and disease-struck region segmentation benefit from correctly oriented images, […]
Artificial intelligence-based predictive model of nanoscale friction using experimental data
A recent systematic experimental characterisation of technological thin films, based on elaborated design of experiments as well as probe calibration and correction procedures, allowed for the first time the determination of nanoscale friction under the concurrent influence of several process parameters, comprising normal forces, sliding velocities, and temperature, thus providing an indication of the intricate […]
Rule-Based EEG Classifier Utilizing Local Entropy of Time–Frequency Distributions
Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are known to contain signatures of stimuli that induce brain activities. However, detecting these signatures to classify captured EEG waveforms is one of the most challenging tasks of EEG analysis. This paper proposes a novel time–frequency-based method for EEG analysis and characterization implemented in a computer-aided decision-support system that can be used […]
Rethinking Effects of Innovation in Competition In The Era of New Digital Technologies
The new technologies, digitalization, algorithms, big data, artificial intelligence are already changing our lives and commercial habits. The technological revolution with new products and services is transforming the market and business operators. There is a general understanding that new technological improvements benefit competition. The question is, whether competition models are adequate and ready to deal […]
A Comparison of Approaches for Measuring the Semantic Similarity of Short Texts Based on Word Embeddings
Measuring the semantic similarity of texts has a vital role in various tasks from the field of natural language processing. In this paper, we describe a set of experiments we carried out to evaluate and compare the performance of different approaches for measuring the semantic similarity of short texts. We perform a comparison of four […]
Indoor Localization Based on Infrared Angle of Arrival Sensor Network
Accurate, inexpensive, and reliable real-time indoor localization holds the key to the full potential of the context-aware applications and location-based Internet of Things (IoT) services. State-of-the-art indoor localization systems are coping with the complex non-line-of-sight (NLOS) signal propagation which hinders the use of proven multiangulation and multilateration methods, as well as with prohibitive installation costs, […]
Gravitational-Wave Burst Signals Denoising Based on the Adaptive Modification of Intersection of Confidence Intervals Rule
Gravitational-wave data (discovered first in 2015 by the Advanced LIGO interferometers and awarded by the Nobel prize in 2017) is characterized by non-Gaussian and non- stationary noise. An ever- increasing amount of the acquired data requires the development of efficient denoising algorithms that will enable the detection of gravitational- wave events embedded in low signal-to-noise-ratio […]
