Fuzzy Logic and Genetic Algorithm Framework for Modelling Sustainable Customer Behaviour and Product Pricing in E-Commerce Surjit Victor, Divya H, Jalaja Enamala, S. Baskaran, Manu Vasudevan Unni, S. Subha 2025 IEEE 6th Global Conference for Advancement in Technology Gcat 2025, 2025 E-commerce dynamic product pricing frequently puts profit maximisation ahead of sustainable customer preferences, which results in lost opportunities to match corporate strategy with environmental responsibility. The hybrid fuzzy logic–genetic algorithm (FL–GA) framework proposed in this study simulates sustainable consumer behaviour and adjusts product pricing appropriately. While the genetic algorithm maximises prices to strike a balance between profitability and the likelihood of a sustainable purchase, fuzzy logic evaluates sustainability affinity, price sensitivity, and purchasing habits to capture the inherent uncertainty in customer purchase decisions. The system's efficiency has been shown by experiments conducted on e-commerce datasets sourced from Kaggle, which yielded an 18.6% increase in profit margin, a 92.4% likelihood to make sustainable purchases, and an R2 score of 0.982. These results outperformed baseline models such as support vector regression, random forest, and linear regression. The findings demonstrate that pricing strategies that incorporate sustainability considerations can produce better environmental and commercial results. This framework offers e-commerce platforms a scalable, data-driven strategy to gain a competitive edge and advance their worldwide environmental objectives.
Enhancing Recruitment Efficiency in HRM through Intelligent Resume Screening and Job Matching Using Fuzzy Logic and Ensemble Learning Kiruthiga V, Kalpana Deshmukh, V S Narayana Tinnaluri, M. Priyadharsini, Manu Vasudevan Unni, S. Ramya 2025 IEEE 3rd Global Conference on Wireless Computing and Networking Gcwcn 2025, 2025 The increasing number of job applications on digital recruitment platforms is a problem for human resource managers, who have to balance efficiency with equity in candidate evaluation. Conventional resume screening systems frequently show restricted interpretability and inadequate matching precision. The proposed study introduces a hybrid recruitment model that combines fuzzy logic and ensemble learning to provide intelligent and explainable candidate-job matching. Fuzzy logic integrates recruiter selection patterns through interpretable membership functions and rule sets, while the ensemble architecture utilises models like Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, and XGBoost to improve predicting accuracy. The system was subjected to extensive evaluation using curated Kaggle recruitment datasets, benchmarked against established baseline models. Experimental results demonstrated substantial performance enhancements, with nDCG@10 = 0.964, Precision@5 = 0.948, Recall@5 = 0.931, MAP = 0.957, AUC = 0.981, and RMSE = 0.082, outperforming conventional methodologies. The suggested approach automates extensive screening while ensuring openness, allowing HR experts to track decisions to comprehensible rules. The suggested study integrates powerful machine learning with human-aligned reasoning to improve the efficiency and lack of trust in AI-driven recruitment platforms. Its use could optimise talent acquisition processes, reduce bias, and enhance recruitment results across several industry sectors.
Predictive Stress Management for Higher Education Faculty Using DCNN and LSTM Models C Lakshmi, P. Jayasaradadevi, Vijayalakshmi Chintamaneni, Rajasekar P, Santhiya Parivallal, Manu Vasudevan Unni 3rd International Conference on Integrated Circuits and Communication Systems Icicacs 2025, 2025 Teachers in higher education, who are already under a lot of strain from both classroom instruction and administrative duties, need to find ways to alleviate the stress that they experience so that they may be more productive and effective in their roles. The commitment of teachers and the quality of education as a whole are profoundly impacted by their well-being. Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) models are utilised in this research to present a predictive stress management methodology. Included in the methodology are steps for preparing data, extracting features, and training the model. In the preprocessing phase, extensive changes were made to the text data, and TF-IDF was used to effectively extract features and weight terms. With an average accuracy of 93.50%, the model outperformed standalone CNN and LSTM models thanks to its hybrid CNN-LSTM architecture. According to the results, the suggested method effectively reduces problems caused by stress in educators. This study highlights the model's ability to enhance prediction tasks, which can help institutions implement effective stress management strategies.
Dynamic Pricing Strategy using Reinforcement Learning and NLP-based Sentiment Analysis of Social Media Data Akana Chandra Mouli Venkata Srinivas, Munawar Yusuf Sayed, Yashwant Waykar, Sandesh R, Sweta Priya, Manu Vasudevan Unni Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Smart Electronics and Communication Icosec 2025, 2025 To improve classification accuracy in social media sentiment analysis, good preprocessing is essential. Pretreatment of data is a crucial part of any sentiment analysis pipeline since it enhances the number of occurrences that are correctly identified. An improved method for handling multi-step NLP problems, RLAP is presented in this paper. It is based on LLM. It represents these tasks as a MDP in our framework, and an LLM is an environment variable within this model. The TF-IDF method is used to extract useful textual information, which allows for more accurate sentiment classification. To guarantee that RLAP is a robust and general sable model, it is tested extensively on three separate natural language processing tasks utilising diverse social media datasets. The outcomes show that RLAP surpasses current models in accuracy and consistency, achieving an impressive 97.55% success rate. This demonstrates how effective it is to manage complicated NLP operations by integrating reinforcement learning concepts with sophisticated language models. To sum up, RLAP is a successful and versatile approach to sentiment analysis, especially in social media settings, and it highlights the significance of combining smart model planning with efficient preprocessing methods.
The Role of HR in Sustainable and Ethical Supply Chain Management using a Residual Neural Network Approach Zulfugarova Seljan Rauf, M. Kathiravan, P. Vanitha, R. Melba Kani, R. Sethumadhavan, Manu Vasudevan Unni International Conference on Intelligent Systems and Computational Networks Iciscn 2025, 2025 Green supply chain management (GSCM) and green human resource management (GHRM) are new OM and HRM concepts. GSCM and GHRM improve organizational sustainability, according to HRM and SCM researchers. HRM and SCM integration is hindered by a large collaboration gap. Our approach requires preprocessing, feature extraction, and model training. During preprocessing, data normalization creates a new range. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) simplifies feature extraction by removing irrelevant or superfluous components. ABiMultiResRNN trains the model. With 92.08% accuracy, the ABiMultiResRNN model outperformed sophisticated models like ResNet and BiLSTM. GSCM and GHRM should be better integrated to promote sustainability, according to this study. ABiMultiResRNN accuracy suggests it could promote sustainable management in organizations.
