Project portfolio selection is essential for a company to achieve its strategic goals. Due to constraints such as budget and manpower, companies cannot undertake all projects simultaneously and must prioritize those offering the highest value. Projects often interact and progress through various phases, adding complexity to the selection process. To address these challenges, this study introduces a model that accounts for the multi-stage execution of projects, their interactions, and multiple objectives. A novel multi-objective optimization algorithm is developed to solve this problem, along with a refined project selection method designed to offer decision-makers enhanced insights. Finally, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Based on the project portfolio selection and scheduling problem (PPSS), the development of a systematic and scientific project scheduling plan necessitates comprehensive consideration of individual preferences and multiple realistic constraints, rendering it an NP-hard problem. Simultaneously, accurately and swiftly evaluating the value of projects as a complex entity poses a challenging issue that requires urgent attention. This paper introduces a novel qualitative evaluation-based project value assessment process that significantly reduces the cost and complexity of project value assessment, upon which a preference-based deep reinforcement learning method is presented for computing and solving project subsets and time scheduling plans. This paper first determines the key parameter values of the algorithm through specific examples. Then, using the method of controlling variables, it explores the sensitivity of the algorithm to changes in problem size and dimensionality. Finally, the proposed algorithm is compared with two classical algorithms and two heuristic algorithms across different instances. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm exhibits higher effectiveness and accuracy.

Journal of Physics Conference Series

In response to the challenge of multiple fault types and complex diagnostic criteria in bearing fault diagnosis, a case reasoning method based on ensemble learning is proposed. The approach utilizes Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) to construct a case library for vibration-based features of rolling bearings and perform fault diagnosis. Moreover, addressing the issue of determining optimal feature weight ratios when retrieving similar cases in traditional case reasoning methods, a Random Forest algorithm combined with Bayesian Optimization is introduced. This integration allows for adaptive retrieval of similar cases, thereby enhancing the diagnostic capability for bearing faults. The effectiveness of this approach is validated through experimental analysis.

Journal of Physics Conference Series

The process of Industry 4.0 is constantly promoted. In order to realize the high-quality connotation development of enterprises, manufacturing enterprises need to carry out information transformation and upgrading. The technology of information flow analysis can consistently assess the worth of the factory, overcome existing technical challenges, and achieve intelligent modernization and enhancement of the system. This study presents a visualization and evaluation of the factory’s layout, production lines, and workstation from three perspectives: macro, meso, and micro. To begin, a value added heat map (VAHM) is created by examining the visualization technique for information value added information (IVA). This analysis aims to assess the extent of information wastage in terms of the factory’s physical space, resources, and staff. Additionally, a method for analyzing the information gain of a production line, which is based on the concept of distributed cognition, is introduced. This method evaluates the production line by integrating the economic principle of information processing (EPIP). Furthermore, when assessing complexity, the volume of information in workstations is measured and enhanced by applying the principle of information processing economy. Ultimately, the method’s validity and feasibility are confirmed by applying it to real-world manufacturing industry scenarios.

... Humans are able to use and process fuzzy concepts to form sensations, cognition, and thus reasoning and decision-making, and the human brain can store and process fuzzy information and utilize fuzzy knowledge for fuzzy reasoning, which is the unparalleled superiority of the human brain [22]. Zadeh, an American cybernetics expert, first proposed the concept of fuzzy sets and founded the fuzzy set theory [23], and proposed to quantify the knowledge rules of human fuzzy language with IF-Then fuzzy rules in 1973, which laid the foundation for the theory of fuzziness. ...

... This improvement arises because previous studies, when constructing networks from sequential data, typically overlooked relationships beyond pairwise node connections, implicitly assuming a first-order Markov process. This assumption led to the omission of significant higher-order information present in the original data [14]. To address this issue, Rosvall et al. [15] developed a second-order Markov network model to capture dynamic behaviors, which not only revealed actual travel ...

... Because user requirements exhibit a dynamic iterative trend, the pace of product updates and iterations is accelerated [24]. Therefore, strategically allocating limited resources for the most impactful product improvements plays an important role for SMEs to maintain their market competitiveness [25]. Currently, although some studies have already paid attention to strategies for product design improvement based on online user reviews, they often fell short of addressing the specific needs of SMEs, i.e., comprehensive understanding of user requirements, prioritizing product improvement attributes, and deciding which should be improved immediately. ...
