The artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is an evolutionary optimization based on swarm intelligence and inspired by the honey bees’ food search behavior. Since ABC has been developed to achieve optimal solutions searching in continuous space, modification required apply it binary problems. In this study, we modify solve problems name improved (IbinABC). proposed method consists of update mech...

This paper presents a practical algorithm for facial age estimation from frontal face image. Facial age estimation generally comprises two key steps including age image representation and age estimation. The anthropometric model used in this study includes computation of eighteen craniofacial ratios and a new accurate skin wrinkles analysis in the first step and a pairwise binary support vector...

In this study, the use of the three-layer feed forward neural network has been investigated for estimating of infinite dilute diffusion coefficient ( D12 ) of supercritical fluid (SCF), liquid and gas binary systems. Infinite dilute diffusion coefficient was spotted as a function of critical temperature, critical pressure, critical volume, normal boiling point, molecular volume in normal boilin...

In this paper, we present a new method to determine the optimal location and parameter settings of UnifiedPower Flow Controller (UPFC) for removing voltage violations and transmission lines overloading. UPFC isconsidered as the most powerful member of the FACTS devices, that it can control shunt and series power flow.This option gives to UPFC the power to control the voltage profile and transmi...

The goal of EUNITE’s second annual competition was to classify bank customers as either active or non-active (binary response variable) based on 36 attributes, 30 of which were numerical, 6 of which were combinatorial, some having more than 50 possible values. The meanings of the variables were kept secret. Example data was made available, consisting of 12000 customer records, each featuring th...

Precipitation deficit causes meteorological drought, and its continuation appears as other different types of droughts including hydrological, agricultural, economic, social droughts. Multivariate Standardized Index (MSPI) can show the drought status from perspective simultaneously. Forecasting multivariate provide good information about future a region will be applicable for planners water div...
