Churn prediction methods are widely used to anticipate customer churn from services provided by a company for some reasons. This study aims to develop an optimal churn prediction model based on customer data from a telecommunication company in Indonesia. The model development and evaluation processes are performed by following the Cross-Industry Standard Process for Data Mining (CRISP-DM), which consist of business understanding, data understanding, data preparation, modelling, and evaluation. Various combination of data preparation and modelling methods have been evaluated. The evaluation results show that the combination of feature selection and prediction model yields better results compared to prediction model without feature selection. The highest accuracy is achieved by Random Forrest at 97.82%, which is followed by Decision Tree at 97.06%, and Naive Bayes at 90.62%. This result indicates that a prediction model can be reliably used to predict customer churn in a telecommunication company.

Osteoporosis can be defined as a degenerative disease with reduced bone mass and changes in bone architecture that can lead to bone fragility and the risk of fractures. This abnormality can be indicated by the bone density which in visual can be determined using X-Ray images. However, X-Ray images are susceptible to noise, while in image analysis image contrast affects deep learning abilities. Hence, the CLAHE (Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization) algorithm is used as a contrast enhancement technique in X-Ray images. This study aims to build a deep learning model using the CLAHE-enhanced image dataset with the ResNet-50 and ResNet-101 architectures. The model was built using two different datasets, namely the original image dataset and the CLAHE-enhanced image dataset. The result shows that the highest performance is given by the ResNet-101 model using the CLAHE-enhanced image dataset with an accuracy rate of 96%, precision of 95%, specificity of 95%, recall of 97% and an Fl-score of 96%, respectively. By using the CLAHE algorithm, the resulting image has high contrast and looks better at displaying features in the image so as to produce better model performance.

The indoor positioning system is used to determine the location of people or objects in an enclosed space. It can be used in many applications such as navigation or even active marketing to provide a better experience to customers. There are various solutions to perform indoor localization. In this paper, the focus is on the use of Bluetooth Low Energy beacons to determine the position of the customer or object in the room. Therefore, the goal of this work is to use low-cost HM-10 BLE boards to test their accuracy and use as beacons. After collecting and analyzing the data, it was determined that HM-10 is a viable solution for beacons. When using the log-distance path loss model to determine distance, the experiments show variations between different HM-10 boards, suggesting the need for calibration to obtain more accurate results.

Foreign Exchange market is the world's largest daily currency turnover. Two of the popular currencies Euro and Pound sterling traded against the US Dollar. Since the Russia and Ukraine war started in February 2022, their exchange rates decrease to the lowest rate ever. Even though the general trend is bearish, several daily candles increase for some days making challenges for forex analysts. To solve this problem, classification is applied. The data is labeled downward and upward. By utilizing Linear Kernel and Radial Basis Function (RBF) Kernel-based Support Vector Machines (SVM), the candle direction can be classified and optimized by tuning the Hyperparameters. The accuracy of candle direction classifications are highly improved. After tuning, in general, classification using Linear Models can outperform RBF Models. The best accuracy found on the Pound sterling against US Dollar by using the Linear model is 98.11% and the accuracy becomes 100% on data testing at a ratio of 70:30. Whilst for the Euro against the US Dollar, the best accuracy found the same for both Linear and RBF models on a ratio of 80:20 at 97.53%. However, on data testing, it decreases to 94.51% for Linear Model and 93.41% using RBF Model. The implication of this study is SVM can successfully classify candle direction on pairs in the Forex Market that are affected by a big event that comes for such a long period as long as the hyperparameter is tuned.

Weakly supervised semantic segmentation is typically inspired by class activation maps, which serve as pseudo masks with class-discriminative regions highlighted. Although tremendous efforts have been made to recall precise and complete locations for each class, existing methods still commonly suffer from the unsolicited Out-of-Candidate (OC) error predictions that do not belong to the label candidates, which could be avoidable since the contradiction with image-level class tags is easy to be detected. In this paper, we develop a group ranking-based Out-of-f;Candidate Rectification (OCR) mechanism in a plug-and-play fashion. Firstly, we adaptively split the semantic categories into In-Candidate (IC) and OC groups for each OC pixel according to their prior annotation correlation and posterior prediction correlation. Then, we derive a differentiable rectification loss to force OC pixels to shift to the IC group. Incorporating OCR with seminal baselines (e.g., AffinityNet, SEAM, MCTformer), we can achieve remarkable performance gains on both Pascal VOC (+3.2%, +3.3%, +0.8% mIoU) and MS COCO (+1.0%, +1.3%, +0.5% mIoU) datasets with negligible extra training overhead, which jus-tifies the effectiveness and generality of OCR. † † Ŋ ***/sennnnn/Out-of-Candidate-Rectification

The Versatile Video Coding (VVC) standard incorporates a number of new tools to significantly improve the coding efficiency over its predecessor, the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), at the cost of increased complexity. Hence, to meet real-time and energy efficiency requirements, portable devices must adopt techniques to effectively reduce the VVC complexity, including customized hardware accelerators. This work presents a low-energy hardware architecture design for the Fractional Motion Estimation (FME), which is amongst the most critical VVC and HEVC encoder steps. The proposed architecture reduces the FME complexity by operating over a subset of candidates selected to reduce the energy and area demands without compromising too much the coding efficiency. At the average BD-Rate of only 0.34% and 0.28% for the Low Delay with P slices only (LD-P) and Random Access (RA) configurations, respectively, the proposed architecture achieves a 75.5% energy consumption reduction when compared to a baseline FME architecture while occupying only 36.6 % of the area.
