Communication is the most common but an intricate activity that we perform every day. Sender sends message, discussions, greetings, gestures, emotics and texts through numerous channels, (e.g. e-mail, messengers, social networks and so on) intending the receiver to understand. The means of personal or group communication has been radically changed over last decade. Geographical, ethnicity, nationality, race, religion are no more hindrance for the sake of social communication. Forms of communication, event, gathering, greetings almost have altered into virtual society. But this hi-tech society has still yet enough room to strengthen its semantic nature. We have made an endeavor to conglomerate the socio-psycho-technical aspect of so-called social networks which could be more realistic, logically inferable and convincible towards people to claim its analogousness with real society. Our devised SN is able to eliminate some weird problems that we face in current SNs, imperfect relationship assignment policies and possibility of data interference among desired and intruder groups.

Economic load dispatch (ELD) problem is a common task in the operational planning of a power system, which requires to be optimized. This paper presents an effective and reliable particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique for the economic load dispatch problem. The results have been demonstrated for ELD of standard 3-generator and 6-generator systems with and without consideration of transmission losses. The final results obtained using PSO are compared with conventional quadratic programming and found to be encouraging.

This Paper investigates the mean to design the reduced order observer and observer based controllers for a class of delayed uncertain nonlinear system subjected to actuator saturation. A new design approach of wavelet based adaptive reduced order observer is proposed. The proposed wavelet adaptive reduced order observer performs the task of identification of unknown system dynamics in addition to the reconstruction of states of the system. Wavelet neural network (WNN) is used to approximate the uncertainties present in the system as well as to identify and compensate the nonlinearities introduced in the system due to actuator saturation. Using the feedback control, based on reconstructed states, the behavior of closed loop system is investigated. In addition robust control terms are also designed to attenuate the approximation error due to WNN. Adaptation laws are developed for the online tuning of the wavelet parameters and the stability of the overall systems is assured by using the Lyapunov- Krasovskii functional. A numerical example is provided to verify the effectiveness of theoretical development.

Statistical learning theory has been introduced in the field of machine learning since last three decades. In speech recognition application, SLT combines generalization function and empirical risk in single margin based objective function for optimization. This paper incorporated separation (misclassification) measures conforming to conventional discriminative training criterion in loss function definition of margin based method to derive the mathematical framework for acoustic model parameter estimation and discuss some important issues related to hinge loss function of the derived model to enhance the performance of speech recognition system.

Clustering is partitioning of data set into subsets (clusters), so that the data in each subset share some common trait. In this paper, an algorithm has been proposed based on Fuzzy C-means clustering technique for prediction of adsorption of cadmium by hematite. The original data elements have been used for clustering the random data set. The random data have been generated within the minimum and maximum value of test data. The proposed algorithm has been applied on random dataset considering the original data set as initial cluster center. A threshold value has been taken to make the boundary around the clustering center. Finally, after execution of algorithm, modified cluster centers have been computed based on each initial cluster center. The modified cluster centers have been treated as predicted data set. The algorithm has been tested in prediction of adsorption of cadmium by hematite. The error has been calculated between the original data and predicted data. It has been observed that the proposed algorithm has given better result than the previous applied methods.

The purpose of Biomedical Natural Language Processing (BioNLP) is to capture biomedical phenomena from textual data by extracting relevant entities, information and relations between biomedical entities (i.e. proteins and genes). In general, in most of the published papers, only binary relations were extracted. In a recent past, the focus is shifted towards extracting more complex relations in the form of bio-molecular events that may include several entities or other relations. In this paper we propose an approach that enables event trigger extraction of relatively complex bio-molecular events. We approach this problem as a detection of bio-molecular event trigger using the well-known algorithm, namely Conditional Random Field (CRF). We apply our experiments on development set. It shows the overall average recall, precision and F-measure values of 64.27504%, 69.97559% and 67.00429%, respectively for the event detection.

In this research paper we presented a model of multi-agent system based learning environment for physically impaired students. The learning system is modeled on the basis of both centralized as well as distributed multi-agent planning. The entire learning system keeps track of the type of impairment the student has and mode of interaction of the environment is set depending on the type of impairment(s). The system consists of agents which are developed using JADE agent technology that helps the students with disabilities to continue studies from their own places.

This paper presents multi-objective function for optimally determining the size and location of distributed generation (DG) and capacitor in distribution systems for power loss minimization, reliability and voltage improvement. The objective function proposed in this paper includes reliability index, active power loss index, DG's and capacitor's investment cost index and voltage profile index which is minimized using binary particle swarm optimization algorithm (BPSO). The effectiveness of the proposed method is examined in the 10 and 33 bus test systems and comparative studies are conducted before and after DG and capacitor installation in the test systems. Results illustrate significant losses reduction and voltage profile and reliability improvement with presence of DG unit and capacitor.

Image segmentation can be cast as a clustering task where the image is partitioned into clusters. Pixels within the same cluster are as homogenous as possible whereas pixels belonging to different clusters are not similar in terms of an appropriate similarity measure. Several clustering methods have been proposed for image segmentation purpose among which the Fuzzy C-Means clustering algorithm. However this algorithm still suffers from some drawbacks, such as local optima and sensitivity to initialization. Artificial Bees Colony algorithm is a recent population-based optimization method which has been successfully used in many complex problems. In this paper, we propose a new fuzzy clustering algorithm based on a modified Artificial Bees Colony algorithm, in which a new mutation strategy inspired from the Differential Evolution is introduced in order to improve the exploitation process. Experimental results show that our proposed approach improves the performance of the basic fuzzy C-Means clustering algorithm and outperforms other population based optimization methods.

This research paper study the performance of distance relays setting based analytic (AM) and artificial neural network (ANN) method for a 400 kV high voltage transmission line in Eastern Algerian transmission networks at Sonelgaz Group compensated by series Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) i.e. Thyristor Controlled Series Reactor (TCSR) connected at midpoint of the electrical transmission line. The facts are used for controlling transmission voltage, power flow, reactive power, and damping of power system oscillations in high power transfer levels. This paper studies the effects of TCSR insertion on the total impedance of a transmission line protected by distance relay and the modified setting zone protection in capacitive and inductive boost mode for three zones. Two different techniques have been investigated in order to prevent circuit breaker nuisance tripping to improve the performances of the distance relay protection.
