Tree Seed Algorithm-based Feature Selection with Optimal Deep Learning Model for Supply Chain Management

Abstract

In recent days, supply chain and logistic industries have been going through a transformational wave of automation and digitization. Supply chain management (SCM) can involve machine learning (ML) abilities and prediction models to ensure that the demands are satisfied at a minimum cost. Intelligent models can be developed to determine whether adequate inventory is accessible to encounter the predictable rise in demands, and if not, the system spontaneously begins to adjust the orders with suppliers to source the raw materials for resolving the predicted future high demand. The conventional ways of SCM can be replaced by the design of recent artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning (DL) techniques. By this motivation, this research presents a tree seed algorithm-based feature selection with optimum DL technique for supply chain management (TSA-ODLSCM). The proposed TSA-ODLSCM model involves the design of a feature subset selection approach using a tree search algorithm (TSA) algorithm. Besides, a new convolutional neural network with fuzzy cognitive maps (CNN-FCM) technique is designed for the classification process. Moreover, optimal parameter tuning of the CNN-FCM model was performed using the Henry gas solubility optimization (HGSO) technique. To exhibit the improved performance of the TSA-ODLSCM approach, a huge range of simulations were executed and outcomes were examined below several aspects. The experimental validation reported an enhanced 96.52% outcome of the TSA-ODLSCM approach over other methods.
