Despite their small numbers, some users of the online social networks demonstrate the ability to influence others. Bloggers are one of such kind of users that through their ideas and opinions on different topics, influence other users. Their identification may be beneficial for several purposes, such as online marketing for products. Much effort has been expanded towards finding the impact of such bloggers within the blogging community. We have expanded on their work by identifying influential bloggers using labeled data. We have improved upon the accuracy of the classification of professional and nonprofessional bloggers. We have made use of Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), and the Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) models. Their performance has been gauged and compared with the existing techniques and approaches, such as an Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Alternating Decision Tree (ADTree) algorithm, and Classification Based on Associations (CBA) algorithm. Adaptive techniques (ANFIS and ANN) are found better than the aforementioned rule-based classifiers. The FIS model outperformed the CBA algorithm, but showed similar performance to the ADTree algorithm. Our proposed ANFIS model showed improved results in terms of performance measures with 93% accuracy for blogger classification. © 2020 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

An Optimally Configured and Improved Deep Belief Network (OCI-DBN) Approach for Heart Disease Prediction Based on Ruzzo-Tompa and Stacked Genetic Algorithm
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020) Ali, Syed Arslan; Raza, Basit; Malik, Ahmad Kamran Kamran; Shahid, Ahmad Raza; Faheem, Muhammed Yasir; Alquhayz, Hani Ali; Kumar, Y. J.
A rapid increase in heart disease has occurred in recent years, which might be the result of unhealthy food, mental stress, genetic issues, and a sedentary lifestyle. There are many advanced automated diagnosis systems for heart disease prediction proposed in recent studies, but most of them focus only on feature preprocessing, some focus on feature selection, and some only on improving the predictive accuracy. In this study, we focus on every aspect that may have an influence on the final performance of the system, i.e., to avoid overfitting and underfitting problems or to solve network configuration issues and optimization problems. We introduce an optimally configured and improved deep belief network named OCI-DBN to solve these problems and improve the performance of the system. We used the Ruzzo-Tompa approach to remove those features that are not contributing enough to improve system performance. To find an optimal network configuration, we proposed a stacked genetic algorithm that stacks two genetic algorithms to give an optimally configured DBN. An analysis of a RBM and DBN trained is performed to give an insight how the system works. Six metrics were used to evaluate the proposed method, including accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, F1 score, and Matthew's correlation coefficient. The experimental results are compared with other state-of-the-art methods, and OCI-DBN shows a better performance. The validation results assure that the proposed method can provide reliable recommendations to heart disease patients by improving the accuracy of heart disease predictions by up to 94.61%. © 2020 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
