Abstract. Identifying the intrinsic economic specialization of localities is a key step in the design of evidence-based regional development and smart specialization strategies. This paper proposes a machine learning approach that combines administrative, economic and socio-demographic indicators in order to discover the latent economic profile of each locality. Supervised and unsupervised techniques are compared, allowing both the classification of localities according to predefined typologies and the detection of emerging specialization patterns. The resulting models provide a data-driven foundation for policy-makers to align regional support measures with the actual potential of each territory.

Keywords: machine learning; regional development; smart specialization; localities; economic profiling

Evaluation of Feature Selection Methods in Estimation  of Precipitation Based on Deep Learning Artificial  Neural Networks

Evaluation of Feature Selection Methods in Estimation of Precipitation Based on Deep Learning Artificial Neural Networks

Precipitation is the most important element of the water cycle and an indispensable element of water resources management. This paper aims to model the monthly precipitation in 8 precipitation observation stations. The effects and role of different feature weights pre-processing methods (Weight by deviation, Weight by PCA, Weight by correlation, and Weight by Support Vector Machine) on artificial intelligence modeling were investigated.

A Comparison of different crossover operators in genetic algorithms for clusters shortest-path tree problem

The clustered shortest-path tree (CluSPT) problem is an extension of the classical shortest path problem, given a graph with the nodes partitioned into several mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive clusters looks for a shortest-path spanning tree from a predefined source node to all the other nodes of the graph, with the property that every cluster should generate a connected subgraph.

A comprehensive survey on the generalized traveling salesman problem

The generalized traveling salesman problem (GTSP) is an extension of the classical traveling salesman
problem (TSP), and it is among the most researched combinatorial optimization problems due to its theoretical properties, complexity aspects, and real-life applications in various areas: location-routing problems, material flow design problem, distribution of medical supplies, urban waste collection management, airport selection and routing the courier airplanes, image retrieval and ranking, digital garment manufacturing, etc.
