Deep learning algorithms developed in recent decades have performed well in prediction and classification using accumulated big data. However, as climate change has recently become a more serious global problem, natural disasters are occurring frequently. When analyzing natural disasters from the perspective of a data analyst, they are considered as outliers, and the ability to predict outliers (natural disasters) using deep learning algorithms based on big data acquired by computers is limited. To predict natural disasters, deep learning algorithms must be enhanced to be able to predict outliers based on information such as the correlation between the input and output. Thus, algorithms that specialize in one field must be developed, and specialized algorithms for abnormal values must be developed to predict natural disasters. Therefore, considering the correlation between the input and output, we propose a positive and negative perceptron (PNP) algorithm to predict the flow rate of rivers using climate change-sensitive precipitation. The PNP algorithm consists of a hidden deep learning layer composed of positive and negative neurons. We built deep learning models using the PNP algorithm to predict the flow of three rivers. We also built comparative deep learning models using long short-term memory (LSTM) to validate the performance of the PNP algorithm. We compared the predictive performance of each model using the root mean square error and symmetric mean absolute percentage error and demonstrated that it performed better than the LSTM algorithms .
The most important thing to operate a power system is that the power supply should be close to the power demand. In order to predict the amount of electric power transaction (EPT), it is important to choose and decide the variable and its starting date. In this paper, variables that could be acquired one the starting day of prediction were chosen. This paper designated date, temperature and special day as variables to predict the amount of EPT of the Korea Electric Power company. This paper also used temperature data from a year ago to predict the next year. To do this, we proposed single deep learning algorithms and hybrid deep learning algorithms. The former included multi-layer perceptron (MLP), convolution neural network (CNN), long short-term memory (LSTM), gated recurrent unit (GRU), support vector machine regression (SVR), and adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). The latter included LSTM + CNN and CNN + LSTM. We then confirmed the improvement of accuracy for prediction using pre-processed variables compared to original variables We also assigned two years of test data during 2017–2018 as variable data to measure high prediction accuracy. We then selected a high-accuracy algorithm after measuring root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute percent error (MAPE). Finally, we predicted the amount of EPT in 2018 and then measured the error for each proposed algorithm. With these acquired error data, we obtained a model for predicting the amount of EPT with a high accuracy.

In large-scale e-commerce, recommendation systems must overcome the shortcomings of conventional models, which often struggle to convert user interest into purchases. This study proposes a revenue-driven recommendation approach that explicitly incorporates user price sensitivity. This study introduces a hybrid recommendation engine that combines collaborative filtering (CF), best match 25 (BM25) for textual relevance, and a price-similarity algorithm. The system is deployed within a scalable three-tier architecture using Elasticsearch and Redis to maintain stability under high-traffic conditions. The system’s performance was evaluated through a large-scale A/B test against both a CF-only model and a popular-item baseline. Results showed that while the CF-only model reduced revenue by 5.10%, our hybrid system increased revenue by 5.55% and improved click-through rate (CTR) by 2.55%. These findings demonstrate that integrating price similarity is an effective strategy for developing commercially viable recommendation systems that enhance both user engagement and revenue growth on large online platforms.
