Abstract

The region of Beni Mellal, Morocco is heavily dependent on the agricultural sector as its primary source of income. Accurate temperature prediction in agriculture has many benefits including improved crop planning, reduced crop damage, optimized irrigation systems and more sustainable agricultural practices. By having a better understanding of the expected temperature patterns, farmers can make informed decisions on planting schedules, protect crops from extreme temperature events, and use resources more efficiently. The lack of data-driven studies in agriculture impedes the digitalization of farming and the advancement of accurate long-term temperature prediction models. This underscores the significance of research to identify the optimal machine learning models for that purpose. A 22-year time series dataset (2000-2022) is used in the study. The machine-learning model auto-regressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) and deep learning models simple recurrent neural network (SimpleRNN), gated recurrent unit (GRU), and long short-term memory (LSTM) were applied to the time series. The results are evaluated based on the mean absolute error (MAE). The findings indicate that the deep learning models outperformed the machine-learning model, with the GRU model achieving the lowest MAE.

Abstract

The increasing demand for food has led to the adoption of precision livestock, which relies on information and communication technology to promote the best practices in meat production. By automating various aspects of the industry, precision livestock allows for increased productivity, more effective management strategies, and decision-making. The paper proposes a methodology that uses deep learning techniques to automatically classify cattle behavior using accelerometer sensors embedded in collars. The work aims to enhance the efficiency and productivity of the industry by improving the classification of cattle behaviors, which is essential for farmers and barn managers to make informed decisions. We tested three different classification techniques to classify rumination, movement, resting, feeding, salting and other cattle behaviors and we achieved promising results that can contribute to a better understanding and management of cattle behavior in the livestock industry.

Abstract

The remarkable impact of transformers in artificial intelligence, exemplified by applications like GPT-3 in language processing, has sparked interest in their potential for time series analysis. This study aims to explore whether transformers, specifically temporal fusion transformers (TFT), can outperform conventional methods in this domain. The research question is whether TFT exhibits superior performance compared to conventional recurrent neural network (RNN) methods, specifically gated recurrent unit (GRU), and traditional machine learning approaches, notably autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA), in the context of time series analysis and temperature prediction. A comparative analysis is conducted among three models: ARIMA, GRU, and TFT. The study utilizes time series data spanning from 1984 to the end of 2022. The models’ performances are evaluated using multiple metrics: mean absolute error (MAE), root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), and the coefficient of determination (R2). The TFT model achieves the lowest MAE, indicating high accuracy in its predictions. It outperforms both the RNN and traditional machine learning in temperature prediction tasks. Integrating the TFT model with the FAO penman-monteith method could improve irrigation scheduling due to more accurate temperature predictions, potentially enhancing water efficiency and crop yields.

Abstract

The idea of using machine learning resolution techniques to predict student performance on an online learning platform such as Moodle has attracted considerable interest. Machine learning algorithms are capable of correctly interpreting the content and thus predicting the performance of our students. Algorithms namely gradient boosting machines (GBM) and eXtreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) are highly recommended by most researchers due to their high accuracy and smooth boosting time. This research was conducted to analyze the effectiveness of the XGBoost algorithm on Moodle platform to predict student performance by analyzing their online activities, practicing various types of online activities. The proposed algorithm was applied for the prediction of academic performance based on this data received from Moodle. The results demonstrate a strong correlation between many activities like the number of hours spent online and the achievement of academic goals, with a remarkable prediction rate of 0.949.

Abstract

Big  data is a set of technologies and strategies for storing and analyzing large volumes of data in order to learn from it and make predictions. Since non-relational databases such as document-based have been applied in various contexts, the privacy protection must be taken into account by strengthening security to prevent the exposure of user data. In this paper, we focus mainly on secret sharing scheme that supports secure query with data interoperability to design a practical model for document-based databases, especially MongoDB. This approach, being based on secure query processing by defining elementary and suitable operators, allows us to perform operational computations and aggregations on encrypted data in the non-relational document database MongoDB. The obtained results, in the present work, could find places in various fields where data privacy and security are primordial such as healthcare, cloud computing, financial services, artificial intelligence and machine learning, in which user data remains secure and confidential during processing.
