Hidden layers play a vital role in the performance of Neural network especially in the case of complex problems where the accuracy and the time complexity are the main constraints. The process of deciding the number of hidden layers and number of neurons in each hidden layer is still confusing. In this article, we reviewed different impacts of Hidden layers on the network which provides an overview of using three numbers of hidden layers that were found to be optimal in terms of reducing the time complexity and getting the qualified accuracy. The techniques implementing less than three number of hidden layers mostly had a loss in accuracy while the architecture implementing more than three numbers of hidden layers were found not to be optimal in terms of time complexity. Usually implementing three numbers of hidden layers give the optimal performance in terms of time complexity and accuracy. We had a survey on recent work about the Neural network based on the Empirical observations, in which if the number of hidden layers is reduced it has a direct impact on the accuracy of the network as with the complex problem having less number of hidden layers it might be possible that network will not be trained properly. On the other hand when the number of hidden layers cross the optimal number of hidden layers (three layers), time complexity increases in orders of magnitude as compared to the accuracy gain.

In the recent past, a few fire warning and alarm systems have been presented based on a combination of a smoke sensor and an alarm device to design a life-safety system. However, such fire alarm systems are sometimes error-prone and can react to non-actual indicators of fire presence classified as false warnings. There is a need for high-quality and intelligent fire alarm systems that use multiple sensor values (such as a signal from a flame detector, humidity, heat, and smoke sensors, etc.) to detect true incidents of fire. An Adaptive neuro-fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is used in this paper to calculate the maximum likelihood of the true presence of fire and generate fire alert. The novel idea proposed in this paper is to use ANFIS for the identification of a true fire incident by using change rate of smoke, the change rate of temperature, and humidity in the presence of fire. The model consists of sensors to collect vital data from sensor nodes where Fuzzy logic converts the raw data in a linguistic variable which is trained in ANFIS to get the probability of fire occurrence. The proposed idea also generates alerts with a message sent directly to the user’s smartphone. Our system uses small size, cost-effective sensors and ensures that this solution is reproducible. MATLAB-based simulation is used for the experiments and the results show a satisfactory output.

This paper presents an intelligent approach to handle heterogeneous and large-sized data using machine learning to generate true recommendations for the future customers. The Collaborative Filtering (CF) approach is one of the most popular techniques of the RS to generate recommendations. We have proposed a novel CF recommendation approach in which opinion based sentiment analysis is used to achieve hotel feature matrix by polarity identification. Our approach combines lexical analysis, syntax analysis and semantic analysis to understand sentiment towards hotel features and the profiling of guest type (solo, family, couple etc). The proposed system recommends hotels based on the hotel features and guest type as additional information for personalized recommendation. The developed system not only has the ability to handle heterogeneous data using big data Hadoop platform but it also recommend hotel class based on guest type using fuzzy rules. Different experiments are performed over the real world dataset obtained from two hotel websites. Moreover, the values of precision and recall and F-measure have been calculated and results are discussed in terms of improved accuracy and response time, significantly better than the traditional approaches.

Clinical research of wound assessment focused on physical appearance of wound i.e. wound width, shape, color etc. Although, wound appearance is most crucial factors to influence healing process. however, apart from wound appearance other factors also contribute in healing process. Wound internal and external environment is one such factor that may show positive or negative impact on healing. Internet of things extensively popular during last decade, due to its heavy applications in almost all domains i.e. agriculture, health, marketing, banking, home etc. Therefore, in current research we proposed IoT based intelligent wound assessment system, for assessment of wound status and apply entropy and information gain statistics of decision tree to reflect status of wound assessment by categorization of assessment results in one of three class i.e. good, satisfactory or alarming. We implemented decision tree in MATLAB, in which we select ID3 algorithm for decision tree which based on entropy and information gain for the selection of best feature to split the tree. The efficient feature split of decision tree improved training accuracy rate and performance of decision tree.
