Moisture is one of the most important factors impacting the talc pellet process. In this study, a hybrid model (HM) based on the combination of intelligent algorithms, self-organizing map (SOM), the adaptive neuron fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and metaheuristic optimizations, genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) is introduced, namely, HM-GA and HM-PSO. The main purpose is to predict the moisture in the talc pellet process related to symmetry in the aspect of real-world application problem. In the combination process, SOM classifies the suitable input data. The GA and PSO, as the training algorithms of ANFIS, are investigated to compare the prediction skill. Five factors, including talc powder, water, temperature, feed speed, and air flow of 52 experiment cases designed by central composite design (CCD), are the training set data. Three different measures evaluate the capacity of moisture prediction. The comparison results show that the HM-PSO can provide the smallest difference between train and test datasets under the condition of the moisture being less than 5%. As a result, the HM-PSO model achieves the best result in predicting the moisture for the talc pellet process with R = 0.9539, RMSE = 1.0693, and AAD = 0.393, compared to others.
The proper production plan plays an important role in the cashew nuts market enterprise in order to reduce cost. This study aims to find the optimal production plan for cashew nuts using ant lion optimization (ALO), symbiotic organisms search (SOS), particle swarm optimization (PSO) and artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC). The novel objective function is introduced in this study. Three input data set, including production cost, holding cost and inventory quantity are investigated. The experiment cases consist of the frequency of production cycle time in January, February and March, respectively. As a results, four algorithms are available to estimate not only the proper production plan of cashew nuts but also an ability in reducing the inventory and the holding costs. In summary, the ALO algorithm provides better predictive skill than others for the cashew nuts production plan with the lowest RMSE value of 0.0913.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
