Spreadsheets, a prime example of end-user programming environments widely used in business for data analysis. However, Excel functionalities have limits compared to dedicated programming languages. This paper addresses this gap by proposing a prototype for integrating Python’s capabilities into Excel through on-premises desktop to build custom spreadsheet functions with Python. This approach overcomes potential latency issues associated with cloud-based solutions. This prototype utilizes Excel-DNA and IronPython. Excel-DNA allows creating custom Python functions that seamlessly integrate with Excel’s calculation engine. IronPython enables the execution of these Python (CSFs) directly within Excel. C# and VSTO add-ins form the core components, facilitating communication between Python and Excel. This approach empowers users with a potentially open-ended set of Python (CSFs) for tasks like mathematical calculations, statistical analysis, and even predictive modeling, all within the familiar Excel interface. This prototype demonstrates smooth integration, allowing users to call Python (CSFs) just like standard Excel functions. This research contributes to enhancing spreadsheet capabilities for end-user programmers by leveraging Python’s power within Excel. Future research could explore expanding data analysis capabilities by expanding the (CSFs) functions for complex calculations, statistical analysis, data manipulation, and even external library integration. The possibility of integrating machine learning models through the (CSFs) functions within the familiar Excel environment.展开更多

文摘This paper presents a 6-layer customized convolutional neural network model(6L-CNN)to rapidly screen out patients with COVID-19 infection in chest CT images.This model can effectively detect whether the target CT image contains images of pneumonia lesions.In this method,6L-CNN was trained as a binary classifier using the dataset containing CT images of the lung with and without pneumonia as a sample.The results show that the model improves the accuracy of screening out COVID-19 patients.Compared to othermethods,the performance is better.In addition,the method can be extended to other similar clinical conditions.

文摘In view of the fact that the prediction effect of influential financial customer churn in the Internet of Things environment is difficult to achieve the expectation,at the smart contract level of the blockchain,a customer churn prediction framework based on situational awareness and integrating customer attributes,the impact of project hotspots on customer interests,and customer satisfaction with the project has been built.This framework introduces the background factors in the financial customer environment,and further discusses the relationship between customers,the background of customers and the characteristics of pre-lost customers.The improved Singular Value Decomposition(SVD)algorithm and the time decay function are used to optimize the search and analysis of the characteristics of pre-lost customers,and the key index combination is screened to obtain the data of potential lost customers.The framework will change with time according to the customer’s interest,adding the time factor to the customer churn prediction,and improving the dimensionality reduction and prediction generalization ability in feature selection.Logistic regression,naive Bayes and decision tree are used to establish a prediction model in the experiment,and it is compared with the financial customer churn prediction framework under situational awareness.The prediction results of the framework are evaluated from four aspects:accuracy,accuracy,recall rate and F-measure.The experimental results show that the context-aware customer churn prediction framework can be effectively applied to predict customer churn trends,so as to obtain potential customer data with high churn probability,and then these data can be transmitted to the company’s customer service department in time,so as to improve customer churn rate and customer loyalty through accurate service.
文摘To improve customer satisfaction of cold chain logistics of fresh agricultural goods enterprises and reduce the comprehensive distribution cost composed of fixed cost, transportation cost, cargo damage cost, refrigeration cost, and time penalty cost, a multi-objective path optimization model of fresh agricultural products distribution considering client satisfaction is constructed. The model is solved using an enhanced Elitist Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II), and differential evolution is incorporated to the evolution operator. The algorithm produced by the revised algorithm produces a better Pareto optimum solution set, efficiently balances the relationship between customer pleasure and cost, and serves as a reference for the long-term growth of organizations. .

文摘With the rise of various new reading media and the rapid development of the digitization of paper resources,the traditional function positioning of university libraries based on information query is facing unprecedented challenges.How to deal with the change of social information?The library should be demand-oriented,re-examine its own value and find a new starting point.With the help of the concept of customer delivered value and based on 4P theory,this paper constructs the value chain of university library from the dimensions of product,image,personnel and service,and forms a multi-dimensional development positioning system.

文摘Nowadays,commercial transactions and customer reviews are part of human life and various business applications.The technologies create a great impact on online user reviews and activities,affecting the business process.Customer reviews and ratings are more helpful to the new customer to purchase the product,but the fake reviews completely affect the business.The traditional systems consume maximum time and create complexity while analyzing a large volume of customer information.Therefore,in this work optimized recommendation system is developed for analyzing customer reviews with minimum complexity.Here,Amazon Product Kaggle dataset information is utilized for investigating the customer review.The collected information is analyzed and processed by batch normalized capsule networks(NCN).The network explores the user reviews according to product details,time,price purchasing factors,etc.,ensuring product quality and ratings.Then effective recommendation system is developed using a butterfly optimized matrix factorizationfiltering approach.Then the system’s efficiency is evaluated using the Rand Index,Dunn index,accuracy,and error rate.
