Building electrical consumption patterns forecasting based on a novel hybrid deep learning model by Nasser Shahsavari-Pour, Azim Heydari, Farshid Keynia, Afef Fekih, Aylar Shahsavari-Pour

“…Specifically, the proposed model comprises three key components: (i) a mutual information-based feature selection method to identify the most significant input variables influencing energy consumption; (ii) a variational mode decomposition (VMD) approach to decompose the original energy consumption signal into intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), capturing relevant trends and eliminating noise; and (iii) a long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network to perform time-series forecasting of the target energy consumption values. …”

Estimation of Fuzzy Measures Using Covariance Matrices in Gaussian Mixtures by Nishchal K. Verma

“…The mixture components of GMM provide the membership functions for the input-output fuzzy sets. By treating consequent part as a function of fuzzy measures, we derived its coefficients from the covariance matrices found directly from GMM and the defuzzified output constructed from both the premise and consequent parts of the nonadditive fuzzy rules that takes the form of Choquet integral. …”

Correlation between Electrochemical Relaxations and Morphologies of Conducting Polymer Dendrites by Antoine Baron, Enrique H. Balaguera, Sébastien Pecqueur

“…Correlations are established between dispersive capacitances of dendritic morphologies and growth duration, independently from exogenous physical variables: distance, evaporation or aging. Deviation of the anomalous capacitance from the conventional Debye dielectric relaxation can be programmed, as the growth controls the dispersion coefficient of the dendrite's constant-phase elements relaxation. …”
