Nowadays, learning-based modeling methods are utilized to build a precise forecast model for renewable power sources. Computational Intelligence (CI) techniques have been recognized as effective methods in generating and optimizing renewable tools. The complexity of this variety of energy depends on its coverage of large sizes of data and parameters, which have to be investigated thoroughly. This paper covered the most resent and important researchers in the domain of renewable problems using the learning-based methods. Various types of Deep Learning (DL) and Machine Learning (ML) algorithms employed in Solar and Wind energy supplies are given. The performance of the given methods in the literature is assessed by a new taxonomy. This paper focus on conducting comprehensive state-of-the-art methods heading to performance evaluation of the given techniques and discusses vital difficulties and possibilities for extensive research. Based on the results, variations in efficiency, robustness, accuracy values, and generalization capability are the most obvious difficulties for using the learning techniques. In the case of the big dataset, the effectiveness of the learning techniques is significantly better than the other computational methods. However, applying and producing hybrid learning techniques with other optimization methods to develop and optimize the construction of the techniques is optionally indicated. In all cases, hybrid learning methods have better achievement than a single method due to the fact that hybrid methods gain the benefit of two or more techniques for providing an accurate forecast. Therefore, it is suggested to utilize hybrid learning techniques in the future to deal with energy generation problems.
The most widely used method for detecting Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is real-time polymerase chain reaction. However, this method has several drawbacks, including high cost, lengthy turnaround time for results, and the potential for false-negative results due to limited sensitivity. To address these issues, additional technologies such as computed tomography (CT) or X-rays have been employed for diagnosing the disease. Chest X-rays are more commonly used than CT scans due to the widespread availability of X-ray machines, lower ionizing radiation, and lower cost of equipment. COVID-19 presents certain radiological biomarkers that can be observed through chest X-rays, making it necessary for radiologists to manually search for these biomarkers. However, this process is time-consuming and prone to errors. Therefore, there is a critical need to develop an automated system for evaluating chest X-rays. Deep learning techniques can be employed to expedite this process. In this study, a deep learning-based method called Custom Convolutional Neural Network (Custom-CNN) is proposed for identifying COVID-19 infection in chest X-rays. The Custom-CNN model consists of eight weighted layers and utilizes strategies like dropout and batch normalization to enhance performance and reduce overfitting. The proposed approach achieved a classification accuracy of 98.19% and aims to accurately classify COVID-19, normal, and pneumonia samples.
Integrating machine learning technologies into artificial intelligence (AI) is at the forefront of the scientific and technological tools employed to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. This study assesses different uses and deployments of modern technology for combating the COVID-19 pandemic at various levels, such as image processing, tracking of disease, prediction of outcomes, and computational medicine. The results prove that computerized tomography (CT) scans help to diagnose patients infected by COVID-19. This includes two-sided, multilobar ground glass opacification (GGO) by a posterior distribution or peripheral, primarily in the lower lobes, and fewer recurrences in the intermediate lobe. An extensive search of modern technology databases relating to COVID-19 was undertaken. Subsequently, a review of the extracted information from the database search looked at how technology can be employed to tackle the pandemic. We discussed the technological advancements deployed to alleviate the communicability and effect of the pandemic. Even though there are many types of research on the use of technology in combating COVID-19, the application of technology in combating COVID-19 is still not yet fully explored. In addition, we suggested some open research issues and challenges in deploying AI technology to combat the global pandemic.
The current work aims to examine the effect of meteorological parameters as well as the temporal variation on the Burdur Lake surface water body areas in Turkey. The data for the surface area of Burdur Lake was collected over 34 years between 1984 and 2019 by Google Earth Engine. The seasonal variation in the water bodies area was collected using our proposed extraction method and 570 Landsat images. The reduction in the total area of the lake was observed between 206.6 km2 in 1984 to 125.5 km2 in 2019. The vegetation cover and meteorological parameters collected that affect the observed variation of surface water bodies for the same area include precipitation, evapotranspiration, albedo, radiation, and temperature. The selected meteorological variables influence the reduction in lake area directly during various seasons. Correlations showed a strong positive or negative significant relationship between the reduction and the selected meteorological variables. A factor analysis provided three components that explain 82.15% of the total variation in the data. The data provide valuable references for decision makers to develop sustainable agriculture and industrial water use policies to preserve water resources as well as cope with potential climate changes.
