This article aims to study technological intelligence in innovative startups in Algeria using Kerr’s model. Technological intelligence consists of four main dimensions: intelligent systems, competitive intelligence, market intelligence, and intelligent processes. To collect data, a questionnaire was distributed to a sample of 255 innovative startups in Algeria, and the data were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with Smart PLS software. The results indicated that the two-dimensional model combining intelligent systems and competitive intelligence provided the best fit, with a relationship value of 0.605 between these two dimensions. On the other hand, the relationship between market intelligence and competitive intelligence was weak, with a value of 0.281, reflecting the limited use of analytical methods by startups to monitor competitors. Based on these findings, the study recommends that innovative startups in Algeria enhance their use of competitive intelligence and intelligent systems to improve decision-making processes. Additionally, these startups should make better use of available market technologies to develop their products and services, while focusing on continuous competitor analysis and identifying opportunities. In conclusion, technological intelligence is a strategic element for startups, helping them improve their performance and achieve a competitive edge in the changing business environment in Algeria.

The classification of large-scale textual dataset is associated with a huge number of instances and millions of features which must be discriminated between large numbers of categories. The task requires the utilization of a defined hierarchy structure and tools that automatically classify instances within the hierarchy known as Large Scale Hierarchical Text Classification (LSHTC). Predicting the labels of instances by the employed classifiers is challenging due to the high number of features. Furthermore, the existing Dimensional Reduction (DR) approaches in cooperation with the LSHTC framework are still quite inefficient. In such a problem, an effective Hierarchical Dimensional Reduction approach can be advantageous in improving the performance of the LSHTC. Therefore, in this paper, we enhance the performance of LSHTC by proposing a Multi-stage Hierarchical Dimensional Reduction (MHDR) approach based on Modified Feature Hashing (MFH) and Hierarchical Bi-Filtering (HBF) method. In addition to alleviating bad collision and result discrepancy, experimental results show that the proposed approach has achieve the best performance in terms of micro-f1 and macro-f1 by recording average scores of 58.47% and 54.77% using TD-SVM, and average scores of 51.14% and 48.70% using TD-LR, respectively. The method also achieved 11% speed-up than the approaches compared.

With flexible learning, students are actively engaged in their own education and are held to high standards of performance. Online academic courses make it easier for students to receive personalized education because they provide students with more flexibility to concentrate on what is most important to them and give them greater control over their own education. This study’s objective was to investigate whether there is a correlation between how well students succeed in online classes and the extent to which they make use of the schedule and the geographical and resource flexibility offered by such programmes. This article uses a developing approach for predicting and classifying the flexibility in online learning of students who are at risk of failing due to academic and demographic variables. The K-nearest neighbours (KNN) method, the random forest (RF) method, and the logistic regression method were used to categorise the students participating in flexible online learning. The information for the dataset came from Kaggle, and it was gathered for use in testing machine learning. The dataset had a total of 1,875 instances representing 11 different features. Also, accuracy, precision, sensitivity and f-score metrics were applied to evaluate the system. The results show that the RF algorithm has a high accuracy percentage of 85%. The empirical findings demonstrate that students formed distinct patterns of learning time, location and access to knowledge. This suggests that flexibility was used to a significant degree. Patterns in learning time and the availability of learning materials were shown to have a substantial relationship with the accomplishments of the students. Understanding flexibility use habits may help adapt lessons and boost collaboration among similar students.
