Predicting and improvising the performance of rocket nozzle throat using machine learning algorithms
This paper is a study of one dimensional heat conduction with thermo physical properties like K, row, Cp of a material varying with temperature. The physical problem is characterized by a cylinder of infinite length and thickness L, imposed with a net heat flux at x= 0, with the other end being insulated. The temperatures at the insulate end are measured by placing thermocouples. As the temperatures at the other end are very high, it is not possible to measure temperatures by keeping thermocouples which will burn away. So the problem is initialized with known sensor values near insulated end. By proper predicting values by ARIMA Model, the temperature distribution in Rocket Nozzle throat system (RNT) is calculated. The outcome of the work is processed with Machine Learning algorithm like Genetic algorithm in identifying the optimal location of sensor position which helps in improvising the performance of RNT. 2020, Institute of Advanced Scientific Research, Inc.

Predicting Consumers' Usage Intention Towards User-Generated Content: A Hybrid SEM-ANN Approach
With the change in the communication pattern, end-users are engaging in creating content and refer-ring to the content created by other users while making purchase decisions. This research aims at modelling factors affecting consumers' usage intention (UI) towards user-generated content (UGC) using Need for Cogni-tion (NfC) as a moderator of the proposed relationships. The factors affecting consumers' UI involve perceived usefulness (PU), source credibility (SC), information quality (IQ) and NfC. Further, a novel attempt has been made by using the neural network approach to assess the predictive accuracy of the model. A structured ques-tionnaire was used to collect data from 298 consumers through a survey. Data were analysed using two-stage structural equation modelling (SEM) and artificial neural network (ANN). All the independent variables viz., PU, SC, IQ and NfC significantly affect attitude towards UGC, which in turn affects UI. Results of multi-group anal-ysis and a series of chi-square difference tests reveal that a NfC significantly moderates the relationship be-tween PU and attitude, as well as that between SC and attitude. The root mean square error values from the neural network analysis suggest that the models show good predictive accuracy. This study provides a novel assessment of the usage of a hybrid SEM-ANN approach for understanding of UGC by incorporating NfC as a moderator in shaping consumers' attitudes and intentions to use UGC. 2024 World Scientific Publishing Co. -

Predicting Crude Oil Futures using Feed Forward Neural Networks and Technical Indicators: A Comparative Study on WTI and Brent
In the domains of economic management and energy analysis, forecasting the price of crude oil is increasing popularity. It is essential to the facilitating rapid and cost-effective development with improved quality. Accurate prediction of the crude oil market is essential for steady and fast economic development because of its enormous influence on the global economy and society. Moreover, precise crude oil price prediction aids the traders in making accurate decision to maximize profits. In this work, a machine learning method for forecasting future global price data for crude oil is provided based on past data. The proposed model consists of three phases: primarily, historical data of selected crude oil data are gathered and normalized using data normalization technique. Secondly, technical indicators are derived from the crude oil data. Finally, a Feed Forward Neural Network (FFNN) is designed and trained using these technical indicators to forecast the price of crude oil in the future. Daily, weekly, and monthly data from Brent crude oil and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) are used to evaluate the generated model's prediction ability. To find the most effective FFNN configuration, the model's efficacy is evaluated by adjusting hidden layer number and hidden neurons. Performance of the model is also analyzed by varying number of training and testing samples. The experimental outcomes demonstrates that the designed model exhibits excellent performance for both WTI and Brent data. Notably, the model proves to be effective in predicting crude oil prices, when technical indicators are used as input variables. 2026 IEEE. -

Predicting customer churn: A systematic literature review
Churn prediction is an active topic for research and machine learning approaches have made significant contributions in this domain. Models built to address customer churn, aim to identify customers who are at a high risk of terminating services offered by a company. Hence, an effective machine learning model indirectly contributes to the revenue growth of an organization, by identifying at risk customers, well in advance. This improves the success rate of retention campaigns and reduces costs associated with churn. The aim of this study is to explore the state-of-the-art machine learning techniques used in churn prediction. A systematic literature review, that is driven by 5 research questions and rigorous quality assessment criteria, is presented. There are 38 primary studies that are selected out of 420 studies published between 2018 and 2021. The review identifies popular machine learning techniques used in churn prediction and provides directions for future research. Firstly, the study finds that churn models lack generalization capability across industry domains. Hence, it identifies a need for researchers to explore techniques that extend beyond model experimentation, to improve efficiency of classifiers across domains. Secondly, it is observed that the traditional approaches to churn prediction depend significantly on demographic, product-usage, and revenue features alone. However, recent papers have integrated social network analysis-related features in churn models and achieved satisfactory results. Furthermore, there is a lack of scientific work that utilizes information-rich content of customer-company-interaction instances via email, chat conversations and other means. This area is the least explored. Thirdly, there is scope to investigate the effect of hybrid sampling strategies on model performance. This has not been extensively evaluated in literature. Lastly, there is no formal guideline on correct evaluation parameters to be used for models applied on imbalanced churn datasets. This is a grey area that requires greater attention. 2022 Taru Publications. -
Predicting electric vehicle performance metrics using a convolution neural network-gated recurrent unit-attention based deep learning architecture
The indicators of electric vehicle performance such as state of charge (SOC), remaining useful life (RUL), and charge demand need to be accurately forecasted to ensure maximum energy control and battery life. The models used are usually not able to capture the spatial and temporal correlation of battery data and be robust to the presence of noisy measurements. In this study, we model a sequential attention-based deep learning structure with convolutional neural networks, gated recurrent units, and an attention mechanism that can ultimately understand the local features, temporal relationships, and dynamic significance of various features in sequential battery data. The hybrid architecture of this model allows it to extract local spatial features, long-term sequential dependencies and dynamically find the importance of the critical time steps. We also develop a hybrid loss that is an accumulation of Huber loss and Mean Squared Error, which is much more resilient to outliers and at the same time has high prediction accuracy. It is experimentally proven that the proposed model has R2 values of 0.9575, 0.9558, and 0.9199 on SOC, RUL, and charge demand, respectively, which are better than the current single-architecture methods. 2026 The Authors -
Predicting emotional intelligence, creative performance and knowledge management in higher education using multiple regression
Higher education institutions are paramount in emerging nations like India. Post-globalisation, India witnessed the growth of HEIs, especially in the private sector. However, today most of the institutions are struggling for their existence. One of the most vital reasons for such a staggering performance is the absence of creativity. It will not be an exaggeration to say that the present era is the era of creativity and performance and organisations that cant perform are bound to perish. Creativity can be nurtured and yield success only if it is supported by the emotional intelligence (EI) of the employees and knowledge management (KM) processes. The current paper explored the nexus between emotional intelligence, knowledge management processes and creative performance in HEIs in India and implied that though emotional intelligence affects creative performance, the impact gets manifolded in the presence of the knowledge management process.

Predicting Employee Attrition Using Machine Learning Algorithms
Employees are considered the foundation of any organization. Due to their importance, the Human resources department implements various policies to sustain them. Yet the attrition rate in any organization is increasing yearly. The attrition rate signifies the number of employees who leaves a firm without being replaced. It is regarded as a well-known issue that requires the administration to make the best choices to retain highly competent staff. It is interesting to note that artificial intelligence is frequently used as a successful technique for foreseeing such an issue. This review paper aims to study the different machine learning approaches that predict employee attrition and factors influencing an employee to attrite from an organization. A Hybrid model comprising the various ensemble models is proposed to predict attrition at its earliest. The forecasted attrition model aids in not only taking preventive action but also in improving recruiting choices and rewarding top performers who contribute to the company's success. 2022 IEEE. -

Predicting financial asset prices with neural network: a comparative study of neural networks effectiveness in financial decision-making
Investing requires deep knowledge of complex financial markets, making it incredibly tedious to predict inflation and deflation. Predictive conventional models like ARIMA and GARCH do not accurately capture the non-linearity and volatility presented in financial datasets. This research examines the different forms of predictive assets, real estate, stocks, commodities, bonds, and cryptocurrency using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Neural networks. The primary focus of this research is to assess the valuable prediction capabilities of LSTM across assets and its integration with financial decision-making. According to the empirical results, deep learning LSTM models give better outcomes with equities and gold, with the R2 indicator reaching over 99% alongside a low RMSE. LSTMs had an over 100% MPE prediction error rate for other assets during the test phase, making it harder to predict intensely volatile assets. The model's verification transfers residual autocorrelation, showing that it can enhance forecasting performance with detailed macroeconomic indicators and sentiment analysis data. Studies show that LSTMs are effective in high-frequency markets with non-linear price changes, but they require special attention to balance interpretability and overfitting. Despite the progress that has been achieved in utilizing neural networks for financial forecasting, hybrid models integrated with XAI are recommended to improve efficiency and real-world applicability. These results contribute to the growing domain of AI-powered finance by offering additional means for many investors, analysts, and decision-makers who wish to utilize data for market speculation.

Predicting Financial Market Volatility Using Regression and Machine Learning Techniques
In standard Simple Linear Regression (SLR), one of the major assumptions is that the error terms have constant variance (homoscedasticity). However, this assumption is frequently violated in many real-world datasets, resulting in inefficient estimates and reduced predictive accuracy. To overcome this shortcoming, we propose a hybrid modeling platform that combines SLR with statistical and machine learning methods. The approach starts with SLR to identify the main linear relationship. Whenever residual diagnostics report the presence of heteroskedasticity, an Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (ARCH) model is used to estimate time-varying variance. Such estimated variances are utilized in a Weighted Generalized Least Squares (WGLS) model, which stabilizes the error structure. Finally, to capture any remaining nonlinear patterns, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is applied on the residuals of the WGLS model. By layering these techniques, the hybrid framework improves both stability and predictive power. Simulation studies and empirical tests on Apple Inc. stock data confirmed that the hybrid framework yields reduced MAE and RMSE values and greater explanatory strength than individual approaches. 2025 IEEE.
