New efficient tool diagnoses asphaltene stability: Utilization of refractive index

“…[56,57] A typical structure for the program based on the GP method is given in Figure 2. [56][57][58] As noted previously, GP is a competent method to model (or predict) various chemical and petroleum engineering processes (or parameters). [56,57] The most important benefit of GP-based models in contrast with other intelligent methods (e.g., artificial neural network (ANN), least square support vector machine (LSSVM) and fuzzy logic (FL)) are their potential to propose predictive correlations, which are dissimilar to the existing equations developed in the previous studies.…”

[56][57][58] Gene expression programming (GEP) is a new version of GP that has been introduced by Ferreira. [58,59] This technique can generate computer programs and/or correlations for the problems with different natures and sizes, while the conventional GP and other smart tools such as ANN and FL are restricted to a lower number of cases in science and engineering disciplines.…”

The outcomes generated by the GP technique exhibit tree topologies and are displayed in a functional programming language.…”

Towards altruistic data quality assessment for mobile sensing

“…can be extended by instrumenting the phone with external hardware sensors, asking the user to provide additional contextual information (ESMs [21]) or by retrieving information from online and software sources (e.g., weather, traffic, calendar, email). This data can then be used for various research purposes, such as investigating mobile usage [4], understanding personal [11] and social behavior [2,6], or developing applications for wellness and health promotion [7,14,18] or supporting health care [1].…”
