Resource optimization via identification of articles with aspects of priority and high utility

Abstract

Owing to the linear economic growth, the manufacturing of consumer products has increased manifold, products in diversified packaging and formats are now available in abundance, sometimes even with less or no requirement, resulting in losses. Addressing the gap that exists between productivity and requirements can minimize losses and unnecessary burden on manufacturing units. To minimize losses, a hybrid algorithm is proposed, using the advantages offered by classification and high utility patterns to identify the dominant aspects of articles with a high probability of sale. Articles are identified in a two-step process, identification of samples with context as prominent parameter by vanilla feedforward neural network (VNN) as a first step. The second step comprises the determination of utility pattern mining in articles using faster high-utility itemset miner (FHN), sentiment score obtained provides the utility pattern of the product. Proposed hybrid VNN + FHN, along with convolutional neural network (CNN), long short-term memory (LSTM), and transformer-based prediction model (TPM) were used for assessing the utility-driven product analysis. The hybrid VNN + FHN proposed displays the best adaptability by extracting 158 patterns with a utility of 162.88 units. The algorithm outperforms CNN in utility, LSTM and TPM in speed, and CNN in pattern count, making it a better choice for resource optimization.
