Conventional Applicant Tracking Systems (ATSs) encounter considerable constraints in accurately aligning resumes with job descriptions (JD), especially in handling unstructured data and intricate qualifications. We provide Resume2Vec, an innovative method that utilizes transformer-based deep learning models, including encoders (BERT, RoBERTa, and DistilBERT) and decoders (GPT, Gemini, and Llama), to create embeddings for resumes and job descriptions, employing cosine similarity for evaluation. Our methodology integrates quantitative analysis via embedding-based evaluation with qualitative human assessment across several professional fields. Experimental findings indicate that Resume2Vec outperformed conventional ATS systems, achieving enhancements of up to 15.85% in Normalized Discounted Cumulative Gain (nDCG) and 15.94% in Ranked Biased Overlap (RBO) scores, especially within the mechanical engineering and health and fitness domains. Although conventional the ATS exhibited slightly superior nDCG scores in operations management and software testing, Resume2Vec consistently displayed a more robust alignment with human preferences across the majority of domains, as indicated by the RBO metrics. This research demonstrates that Resume2Vec is a powerful and scalable method for matching resumes to job descriptions, effectively overcoming the shortcomings of traditional systems, while preserving a high alignment with human evaluation criteria. The results indicate considerable promise for transformer-based methodologies in enhancing recruiting technology, facilitating more efficient and precise candidate selection procedures. Full article

Solar energy is an important alternative energy source, and it is essential to forecast solar power generation for efficient power management. Due to the seasonal characteristics of weather features, seasonal data partition strategies help develop prediction models that perform better in extreme weather-related situations. Most existing studies rely on fixed season partitions, such as meteorological and astronomical, where the start and end dates are specific. However, even if the countries are in the same Northern or Southern Hemisphere, seasonal changes can occur due to abnormal climates such as global warming. Therefore, we propose a novel unfixed seasonal data partition based on Symbolic Aggregate Approximation (SAX) to forecast solar power generation. Here, symbolic representations generated by SAX are used to select seasonal features and obtain seasonal criteria. We then employ two-layer stacked LSTM and combine predictions from various seasonal features and partitions through ensemble methods. The datasets used in the experiments are from real-world solar panel plants such as in Gyeongju, South Korea; and in California, USA. The results of the experiments show that the proposed methods perform better than non-partitioned or fixed-partitioned solar power generation forecasts. They outperform them by 2.2% to 3.5%; and 1.6% to 6.5% in the Gyeongju and California datasets, respectively. Full article

Many individuals aspire to start their own businesses and achieve financial success. Before launching a business, they must decide on a location and the type of service to offer. This decision requires collecting and analyzing various characteristics of potential locations and services, such as average revenues and foot traffic. However, this process is challenging because it demands expert knowledge in data collection and analysis. To address this issue, we propose Neural Tensor Factorization (NeuralTF) and Explainable Neural Tensor Factorization (XNeuralTF). These methods automatically analyze these characteristics and predict revenues. NeuralTF integrates Tensor Factorization (TF) with Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP). This integration allows it to handle multi-dimensional tensors effectively. It also learns both explicit and implicit higher-order feature interactions, leading to superior predictive performance. XNeuralTF extends NeuralTF by providing explainable recommendations for three-dimensional tensors. Additionally, we introduce two novel metrics to evaluate the explainability of recommendation models. We conducted extensive experiments to assess both predictive performance and explainability. Our results show that XNeuralTF achieves comparable or superior performance to state-of-the-art methods, while also offering the highest level of explainability. Full article

As artificial intelligence technology progresses, deep learning models are increasingly utilized for machine fault classification. However, a significant drawback of current state-of-the-art models is their high computational complexity, rendering them unsuitable for deployment in portable devices. This paper presents a compact fault diagnosis model that integrates a self-attention SqueezeNet architecture with a hybrid texture representation technique utilizing empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and a gammatone spectrogram (GS) filter. In the model, the dominant signal is first isolated from the audio fault signals by discarding lower intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) from EMD, and subsequently, the dominant signals are transformed into 2D texture maps using the GS filter. These generated texture maps feed as input into the modified self-attention SqueezeNet classifier, featuring reduced model width and depth, for training and validation. Different attention modules were tested in the paper, including the self-attention, channel attention, spatial attention, and convolutional block attention module (CBAM). The models were tested on the MIMII and ToyADMOS datasets. The experimental results demonstrated that the self-attention mechanism with SqueezeNet achieved an accuracy of 97% on the previously unseen MIMII and ToyADMOS datasets. Furthermore, the proposed model outperformed the SqueezeNet attention model with other attention mechanisms and state-of-the-art deep architectures, exhibiting a higher precision, recall, and F1-score. Lastly, t-SNE is applied to visualize the features of the self-attention SqueezeNet for different fault classes of both MIMII and ToyADMOS. Full article
