Performance Analysis of Combine Harvester Using Hybrid Model of Artificial Neural Networks Particle Swarm Optimization

Abstract

Novel applications of artificial intelligence for tuning the parameters of industrial machines for optimal performance are emerging at a fast pace. Tuning the combine harvesters and improving the machine performance can dramatically minimize the wastes during harvesting, and it is also beneficial to machine maintenance. Literature includes several soft computing, machine learning and optimization methods that had been used to model the function of harvesters of various crops. Due to the complexity of the problem, machine learning methods had been recently proposed to predict the optimal performance with promising results. In this paper, through proposing a novel hybrid machine learning model based on artificial neural networks integrated with particle swarm optimization (ANN-PSO), the performance analysis of a common combine harvester is presented. The hybridization of machine learning methods with soft computing techniques has recently shown promising results to improve the performance of the combine harvesters. This research aims at improving the results further by providing more stable models with higher accuracy.

COVID-19 Pandemic Prediction for Hungary; a Hybrid Machine Learning Approach

“…To solve these problems, operational NN such as classification, clustering, or function approximation are performed using appropriate learning methods [71,72]. The training of the algorithm is the initial and the important step for developing a model [73,74]. Developing a predictive AI model requires a dataset categorized into two sections i.e.…”

COVID-19 Outbreak Prediction with Machine Learning

“…These ML methods are limited to the basic methods of random forest, neural networks, Bayesian networks, Naïve Bayes, genetic programming and classification and regression tree (CART). Although ML has long been established as a standard tool for modeling natural disasters and weather forecasting [44,45], its application in modeling outbreak is still in the early stages. More sophisticated ML methods (e.g., hybrids, ensembles) are yet to be explored.…”
