Association rules are the specific data mining methods aiming to discover explicit relations between the different attributes in a large dataset. However, in reality, several datasets may contain both numeric and categorical attributes. Recently, many meta-heuristic algorithms that mimic the nature are developed for solving continuous problems. This article proposes a new algorithm, DCSA-QAR, for mining quantitative association rules based on crow search algorithm (CSA). To accomplish this, new operators are defined to increase the ability to explore the searching space and ensure the transition from the continuous to the discrete version of CSA. Moreover, a new discretization algorithm is adopted for numerical attributes taking into account dependencies probably that exist between attributes. Finally, to evaluate the performance, DCSA-QAR is compared with particle swarm optimization and mono and multi-objective evolutionary approaches for mining association rules. The results obtained over real-world datasets show the outstanding performance of DCSA-QAR in terms of quality measures.

This paper presents a teaching-learning-based optimization algorithm for discrete large-scale multi-objective problems (DLM-TLBO). Unlike the previous variants, the learning strategy used by each individual and the acquired knowledge are defined based on its level. The proposed approach is used to solve a bi-objective object clustering task (B-OCT) in a swarm robotic system, as a case study. The simple robots have as mission the gathering of a number of objects distributed randomly, while respecting two objectives: maximizing the clustering quality, and minimizing the energy consumed by these robots. The simulation results of the proposed algorithm are compared to those obtained by the well-known algorithm NSGA-II. The results show the superiority of the proposed DLM-TLBO in terms of the quality of the obtained Pareto front approximation and convergence speed.

The direct control power (DPC) of the of the double feed induction generator (DFIG) using conventional controllers based on PI regulators is characterized by poor results: Robustness properties are not guaranteed in the face of parametric uncertainties and strong ripple of the powers. From the best evoked control techniques presented in this field to overcome these drawbacks, we will study some improvement variants such as the use of The second order sliding mode control (SOSMC) developed on the basis of the super twisting torsion algorithm (STA) associated with the fuzzy logic control to obtain (FSOSMC) in order to obtain acceptable performance. Finally, the effectiveness of the planned control system is studied using Matlab/Simulink. The proposed method that not only reduces power ripples, but also improves driving dynamics by making it less sensitive to parameter uncertainty.

On one hand, there are many proposed intrusion detection systems (IDSs) in the literature. On the other hand, many studies try to deduce the important features that can best detect attacks. This paper presents a new and an easy-to-implement approach to intrusion detection, named distance sum-based k-nearest neighbors (DS-kNN), which is an improved version of k-NN classifier. Given a data sample to classify, DS-kNN computes the distance sum of the k-nearest neighbors of the data sample in each of the possible classes of the dataset. Then, the data sample is assigned to the class having the smallest sum. The experimental results show that the DS-kNN classifier performs better than the original k-NN algorithm in terms of accuracy, detection rate, false positive, and attacks classification. The authors mainly compare DS-kNN to CANN, but also to SVM, S-NDAE, and DBN. The obtained results also show that the approach is very competitive.

In this paper, we propose an implementation of a new technique of power maximization using a photovoltaic system emulator. The PV system design and its performance evaluation test before installation would be both costly and time-consuming. To overcome this problem the use of an emulator adds more performance and efficiency in the laboratory. Also, by measuring the voltage and current from the PV emulator the characteristic I-V and P-V are extract.The need to consider the measure power state is strongly nonlinear distribution curve with noise. For that reason, to establish and to detect the power value, measurement equations and dynamic equations proposed MPPT control strategy based on Kalman filter algorithm. The correctness and effectiveness of the strategy is verified by simulation and experiment. This algorithm was experimentally implemented. Data acquisition and control system were implemented using dSPACE1103. The results show that the Kalman filter MPPT work accurately and successfully under the change of solar irradiation.
