Optimized recurrent neural network with fuzzy classifier for data prediction using hybrid optimization algorithm: Scope towards diverse applications

Abstract

Today, data processing has become a challenging task due to the significant increase in the amount of data collected using various sensors. To put up knowledge and forecast the data, the existing data mining techniques compute all numerical attributes in the memory simultaneously. However, the over-abundance of entire factors in the data makes accurate prediction infeasible. This paper attempts to implement a new data prediction model using an optimized machine learning algorithm. The proposed data prediction model involves four main phases: (a) data acquisition, (b) feature extraction, (c) data normalization, and (d) prediction. Initially, few data from the UCI repository like Bike Sharing Dataset, Carbon Nanotubes, Concrete Compressive Strength, Electrical Grid Stability Simulated Data, and SkillCraft-1 Master Table are collected. Further, the feature extraction process extracts the first-order statistics like mean, median, standard deviation, the maximum value of entire data, and the minimum value of entire data, and the second-order statistics like kurtosis, skewness, energy, and entropy. Next, the data or feature normalization is done to arrange the data within a certain limit. The normalized features are then subjected to a hybrid prediction system by integrating the Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and Fuzzy Regression model. As a modification, the number of hidden neurons in the RNN and membership limits of the Fuzzy Regression model are optimized by a hybrid optimization algorithm by merging the concepts of Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) and Cat Swarm Optimization (CSO), which is called the Whale Updated Seek Mode-based CSO (WS-CSO) algorithm. Then, the efficiency of the optimized hybrid classifier for all-time prediction of data in different applications is confirmed based on its valuable performance and comparative analysis.
