        Link Prediction (LP) is one of the main research areas in Social Network Analysis (SNA). The problem of LP can help us understand the evolution mechanism of social networks, and it can be used in different applications such as recommendation systems, bioinformatics, and marketing. Social networks can be shown as a graph, and LP algorithms predict future connections by using previous network information. In this paper, a multi-wave cellular learning automaton (MWCLA) is introduced and used to solve the LP problem in social networks. The proposed model is a new CLA with a connected structure and a module of LAs in each cell where a cell module’s neighbors are its successors. In the MWCLA method for improving convergence speed and accuracy, multiple waves have been used parallelly in the network. By using multiple waves, different information of the network can be considered for predicting links in the social network. Here we show that the model converges upon a stable and compatible configuration. Then for the LP problem, it has been demonstrated that MWCLA produces much better results than other approaches compared to some state-of-the-art methods. تفاصيل المقالة

        Successful future urban planning is highly dependent on optimal connectivity between important areas of cities. Discovering essential latent links will optimize the urban structure. Moving towards a better structure requires some information. There are a lot of sources of information for urban structure inferring, including the current structure, the time-varying traffic dynamics, and the construction costs, which are the basics of the optimization problem formulation. This paper presents a new formulation for the problem. The model problem to be solved tries to utilize all data sources needed for inferring. There are some methods for solving the formulated problem. The methods need some development to apply to the model. Methods utilizing learning automata (LA) are very favorable in this field due to the interaction with the environment. This paper presents two LA-based approaches for the model: Distributed Learning Automata (DLA) and Cellular Learning Automata (CLA). The algorithms result in an optimal connectivity matrix considering urban structure, traffic dynamics, and costs, where the matrix must include the current urban structure and some new reasonable necessary links. Moreover, comparisons are possible because the model has a fitness value for evaluating the provided connectivity matrix. The CLA-based proposed method performed better than the others in most experiments. تفاصيل المقالة

        Image segmentation is an important task in image processing and computer vision which attract many researchers attention. There are a couple of information sets pixels in an image: statistical and structural information which refer to the feature value of pixel data and local correlation of pixel data, respectively. Markov random field (MRF) is a tool for modeling statistical and structural information at the same time. Fuzzy Markov random field (FMRF) is a MRF in fuzzy space which handles fuzziness and randomness of data simultaneously. This paper propose a new method called FMRF-C which is model clustering using FMRF and applying it in application of image segmentation. Due to the similarity of FMRF model structure and image neighbourhood structure, exploiting FMRF in image segmentation makes results in acceptable levels. One of the important tools is Cellular learning automata (CLA) for suitable initial labelling of FMRF. The reason for choosing this tool is the similarity of CLA to FMRF and image structure. We compared the proposed method with several approaches such as Kmeans, FCM, and MRF and results demonstratably show the good performance of our method in terms of tanimoto, mean square error and energy minimization metrics. تفاصيل المقالة
