Abstract

Health insurance fraud is a complex problem that also has a significant financial impact. Recently, with the availability of large volumes of data and the evolution of computing power, machine learning techniques have become the preferred method for fraud detection. However, the main difficulty facing researchers in this field is the lack of real data sets and the absence of reliable fraud labels. Most published studies use aggregated provider-level or simulated data to test fraud detection algorithms, which may not deliver accurate results. The present study aims to provide a more accurate assessment of fraud detection methods by using real detailed health insurance claims data to compare six of the most common supervised classification algorithms including neural networks and the use of two categorical feature preparation methods. The study was conducted under the guidance of insurance experts, who provided the fraud label inference rules and reviewed the results. A comprehensive description of the benchmarking process and an interpretation of the results are provided in this paper. The results show that supervised classification can be used effectively to detect health insurance fraud, improving detection accuracy by a factor of 4.2 (84% recall for a positive rate of 20%).

Abstract

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), optimizing energy consumption, and ensuring efficient data transmission are crucial for network longevity and performance. This paper introduces an enhanced clustering technique for WSNs that aims to extend network lifetime and ensure reliable data delivery. Instead of regular K-Means clustering, we integrate the Silhouette score method to evaluate cluster quality and decide the optimal number of clusters. This improves how nodes are grouped together in the network. Additionally, we strategically select routing paths from cluster heads to the base station that minimize energy drainage. Comprehensive simulations show our dual optimization approach outperforms standard K-Means in terms of energy efficiency, stable network organization and effective data transmission and overall, the proposed improvements to clustering and routing significantly advance energy-constrained WSNs toward more sustainable and dependable real-world applications.

Abstract

Customer satisfaction is the key for every business successful. Therefore, keeping the current customer portfolio and expanding it over time is the main goal for any business. Hence, we need first to satisfy these clients. The customer satisfaction helps to retain consumers of its products, increase the life value of the customer, also make known its brand through positive word of mouth to get a better reputation and thus increase turnover. For this reason, several studies have been conducted on this subject to explore all tools and technologies that will help retain customers and reduce their churn rate. Based on various customer satisfaction studies for different types of businesses, this paper shows the review of promising research areas and artificial intelligence (AI) application models in predicting customer satisfaction. The results of this study allowed the identification of the best algorithms with the highest score of performance metrics that can be applied as part of the customer satisfaction prediction, through a detailed benchmark performed. The result shows that random forest (RF) and gradient boost (GB) algorithms in machine learning (ML) and convolutional neural network - long short-term memory (CNN-LSTM) in deep learning (DL) are giving the best performance. The most used metrics are accuracy andF1-score. In addition, DL models outperform ML models in most cases.

Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are small, autonomous, battery-powered nodes capable of sensing, storing, and processing data, while communicating wirelessly with a central base station (BS). Optimizing energy consumption is a major challenge to extend the lifetime of these networks. In this study, we propose an innovative approach combining the k-nearest neighbors (KNN) algorithm with hierarchical and flat routing protocols to improve node selection and clustering in three key protocols: low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH), threshold-sensitive energy efficient sensor network protocol (TEEN), and hybrid energy-efficient distributed clustering (HEED). Concretely, KNN is used to rank nodes based on their spatial and energy proximity, thus optimizing the choice of cluster heads (CHs) and reducing long and costly connections. Simulations show a reduction in the inter-CH distance, a decrease in overall energy consumption, and an extension of the network lifetime compared to conventional versions of the protocols. These improvements not only help increase operational efficiency, but also enhance communications stability and security, providing a robust and sustainable solution for critical WSN applications.
