Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite contributions to this Special Issue entitled “Advanced Computational Intelligence”.

For decades, different computational techniques and, above all, machine learning, have had a major impact on the research sector. This has been caused by the generalist nature of these techniques, which allows their application in different fields.

Nowadays, numerous advances are made in the field of computational intelligence. Researchers are exploiting the capacity of algorithms for approaching a wide range of problems, which may have a great socio-economic impact on the population.

This Special Issue welcomes proposals that provide new approaches and techniques, belonging to the branch of computational intelligence, to tackle problems of different topics, especially those real cases that can be of great social interest.

This paper presents a novel data-driven approach for enhancing time series forecasting accuracy when faced with missing data. Our proposed method integrates an Echo State Network (ESN) with ARIMA (Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average) modeling, frequency decomposition, and online transfer learning. This combination specifically addresses the challenges missing data introduce in time series prediction. By using the strengths of each technique, our framework offers a robust solution for handling missing data and achieving superior forecasting accuracy in real-world applications. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model through a wind speed prediction case study. Compared to the existing methods, our approach achieves significant improvement in prediction accuracy, paving the way for more reliable decisionmaking in wind energy operations and management.

In recent years, community detection has received increasing interest. In network analysis, community detection refers to the identification of tightly connected subsets of nodes, which are called “communities” or “groups”, in the network. Non-negative matrix factorization models are often used to solve the problem. Orthogonal non-negative matrix tri-factorization (ONMTF) exhibits significant potential as an approach for community detection within multiplex networks. This paper explores the application of ONMTF in multiplex networks, aiming to detect both shared and exclusive communities simultaneously. The model decomposes each layer within the multiplex network into two low-rank matrices. One matrix corresponds to shared communities across all layers, and the other to unique communities within each layer. Additionally, graph regularization and the diversity of private communities are taken into account in the algorithm. The Hilbert Schmidt Independence Criterion (HSIC) is used to constrain the independence of private communities. The results prove that ONMTF effectively addresses community detection in multiplex networks. It also offers strong interpretability and feature extraction capabilities. Therefore, it is an advanced method for community detection in multiplex networks. Full article

This research proposes a method for the detection of semantic similarities in text snippets; the method achieves an unsupervised extraction and comparison of semantic information by mimicking skills for the identification of clauses and possible verb conjugations, the selection of the most accurate organization of the parts of speech, and similarity analysis by a direct comparison on the parts of speech from a pair of text snippets. The method for the extraction of the parts of speech in each text exploits a knowledge base structured as a dictionary and a thesaurus to identify the possible labels of each word and its synonyms. The method consists of the processes of perception, debiasing, reasoning and assessment. The perception module decomposes the text into blocks of information focused on the elicitation of the parts of speech. The debiasing module reorganizes the blocks of information due to the biases that may be produced in the previous perception. The reasoning module finds the similarities between blocks from two texts through analyses of similarities on synonymy, morphological properties, and the relative position of similar concepts within the texts. The assessment generates a judgement on the output produced by the reasoning as the averaged similarity assessment obtained from the parts of speech similarities of blocks. The proposed method is implemented on an English language version to exploit a knowledge base in English for the extraction of the similarities and differences of texts. The system implements a set of syntactic and logical rules that enable the autonomous reasoning that uses a knowledge base regardless of the concepts and knowledge domains of the latter. A system developed with the proposed method is tested on the “test” dataset used on the SemEval 2017 competition on seven knowledge bases compiled from six dictionaries and two thesauruses. The results indicate that the performance of the method increases as the degree of completeness of concepts and their relations increase, and the Pearson correlation for the most accurate knowledge base is 77%.

In this paper, new probabilistic and dynamic (adaptive) strategies for creating multi-method ensembles based on the coral reef optimization with substrate layers (CRO-SL) algorithm are proposed. CRO-SL is an evolutionary-based ensemble approach that is able to combine different search procedures for a single population. In this work, two different probabilistic strategies to improve the algorithm are analyzed. First, the probabilistic CRO-SL (PCRO-SL) is presented, which substitutes the substrates in the CRO-SL population with tags associated with each individual. Each tag represents a different operator which will modify the individual in the reproduction phase. In each generation of the algorithm, the tags are randomly assigned to the individuals with similar probabilities, obtaining this way an ensemble that sees more intense changes with the application of different operators to a given individual than CRO-SL. Second, the dynamic probabilistic CRO-SL (DPCRO-SL) is presented, in which the probability of tag assignment is modified during the evolution of the algorithm, depending on the quality of the solutions generated in each substrate. Thus, the best substrates in the search process will be assigned higher probabilities than those which showed worse performance during the search. The performances of the proposed probabilistic and dynamic ensembles were tested for different optimization problems, including benchmark functions and a real application of wind-turbine-layout optimization, comparing the results obtained with those of existing algorithms in the literature.
