Abstract: Deep learning (DL) is the basis of many applications of artificial intelligence (AI), and cloud service is the main way of modern computer capabilities. DL functions provided by cloud services have attracted great attention. At present, the application of AI in various fields of life is gradually playing an important role, and the demand and enthusiasm of governments at all levels for building AI computing capacity are also growing. The AI logic evaluation process is often based on complex algorithms that use or generate large amounts of data. Due to the higher requirements for the data processing and storage capacity …of the device itself, which are often not fully realized by humans because the current data processing technology and information storage technology are relatively backward, this has become an obstacle to the further development of AI cloud services. Therefore, this paper has studied the requirements and objectives of the cloud service system under AI by analyzing the operation characteristics, service mode and current situation of DL, constructed design principles according to its requirements, and finally designed and implemented a cloud service system, thereby improving the algorithm scheduling quality of the cloud service system. The data processing capacity, resource allocation capacity and security management capacity of the AI cloud service system were superior to the original cloud service system. Among them, the data processing capacity of AI cloud service system was 7.3% higher than the original cloud service system; the resource allocation capacity of AI cloud service system was 6.7% higher than the original cloud service system; the security management capacity of AI cloud service system was 8.9% higher than the original cloud service system.

Abstract: Electrical device automation in smart industries assimilates machines, electronic circuits, and control systems for efficient operations. The automated controls provide human intervention and fewer operations through proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers. Considering these devices’ operational and control loop contributions, this article introduces an Override-Controlled Definitive Performance Scheme (OCDPS). This scheme focuses on confining machine operations within the allocated time intervals preventing loop failures. The control value for multiple electrical machines is estimated based on the operational load and time for preventing failures. The override cases use predictive learning that incorporates the previous operational logs. Considering the override prediction, the control value is …adjusted independently for different devices for confining variation loops. The automation features are programmed as before and after loop failures to cease further operational overrides in this process. Predictive learning independently identifies the possibilities in override and machine failures for increasing efficacy. The proposed method is contrasted with previously established models including the ILC, ASLP, and TD3. This evaluation considers the parameters of uptime, errors, override time, productivity, and prediction accuracy. Loops in operations and typical running times are two examples of the variables. The learning process results are utilized to estimate efficiency by modifying the operating time and loop consistencies with the help of control values. To avoid unscheduled downtime, the discovered loop failures modify the control parameters of individual machine processes. Show more

Abstract: Machine learning algorithms have been widely used in risk prediction management systems for financial data. Early warning and control of financial risks are important areas of corporate investment decision-making, which can effectively reduce investment risks and ensure companies’ stable development. With the development of the Internet of Things, enterprises’ financial information is obtained through various intelligent devices in the enterprise financial system. Big data provides high-quality services for the economy and society in the high-tech era of information. However, the amount of financial data is large, complex and variable, so the analysis of financial data has huge difficulties, and with …the in-depth application of machine learning algorithms, its shortcomings are gradually exposed. To this end, this paper collects the financial data of a listed group from 2005 to 2020, and conducts data preprocessing and Feature selection, including removing missing values, Outlier and unrelated items. Next, these data are divided into a training set and a testing set, where the training set data is used for model training and the testing set data is used to evaluate the performance of the model. Three methods are used to build and compare data control models, which are based on machine learning algorithm, based on deep learning network and the model based on artificial intelligence and Big data technology proposed in this paper. In terms of risk event prediction comparison, this paper selects two indicators to measure the performance of the model: accuracy and Mean squared error (MSE). Accuracy reflects the predictive ability of the model, which is the proportion of all correctly predicted samples to the total sample size. Mean squared error is used to evaluate the accuracy and error of the model, that is, the square of the Average absolute deviation between the predicted value and the true value. In this paper, the prediction results of the three methods are compared with the actual values, and their accuracy and Mean squared error are obtained and compared. The experimental results show that the model based on artificial intelligence and Big data technology proposed in this paper has higher accuracy and smaller Mean squared error than the other two models, and can achieve 90% accuracy in risk event prediction, which proves that it has higher ability in controlling financial data risk.

Abstract: In the age of big data, electronic data has developed rapidly and gradually replaced traditional paper documents. In daily life, all kinds of data are saved in the form of electronic documents. In this regard, people have strengthened the development of electronic depository system. Electronic storage refers to the storage of actual events in the form of electronic data through information technology to prove the time and content of events. Its application scenarios are very extensive such as electronic contracts, online transactions and intellectual property rights. However, due to the vulnerability of electronic data, the existing electronic data depository system …has certain security risks, and its content is very easy to be tampered with and destroyed, resulting in the loss of depository information. Due to the complexity of the operation of the existing electronic data depository system, some users are likely to reduce the authenticity of the depository information due to the non-standard operation. In order to solve the problems existing in the current electronic data storage system, this paper designed an electronic data storage system based on cloud computing and blockchain technology. The data storage of cloud computing and blockchain was decentralized, and its content cannot be tampered with. It can effectively ensure the integrity and security of electronic information, which is more suitable for the needs of electronic storage scenarios. This paper first introduced the development of electronic data depository system and cloud computing, and optimized the electronic data depository system through the task scheduling model of cloud computing. Finally, the feasibility of the system was verified through experiments. The data showed that the functional efficiency of the system in the electronic data sampling point storage function, the upload of documents to be stored, the download of stored documents, the view of stored information function and the file storage and certificate comparison verification function has reached 0.843, 0.821, 0.798, 0.862 and 0.812 respectively. The final function indexes of each function of the traditional electronic data depository system were 0.619, 0.594, 0.618, 0.597 and 0.622 respectively. This data shows that the electronic data storage system based on cloud computing and blockchain modeling can effectively manage electronic data and facilitate relevant personnel to verify electronic data.

Abstract: With the rapid development of the economy, the demand for electric power is increasing, and the operation quality of the power system directly affects the quality of people’s production and life. The electric energy provided by the electric power system is the foundation of social operation. Through continuous optimization of the functions of the electric power system, the efficiency of social operation can be improved, and economic benefits can be continuously created, thereby promoting social progress and people’s quality of life. In the power system, the responsibility of the power distribution network (PDN) is to transmit electricity to all parts …of the country, and its transmission efficiency would directly affect the operational efficiency of the power system. PDN scheduling plays an important role in improving power supply reliability, optimizing resource allocation, reducing energy waste, and reducing environmental pollution. It is of great significance for promoting social and economic development and environmental protection. However, in the PDN scheduling, due to the inflexibility of the power system scheduling, it leads to the loss and waste of electric energy. Therefore, it is necessary to upgrade the operation of the PDN automatically and use automation technology to improve the operational efficiency and energy utilization rate of the power system. This article optimized the energy-saving management of PDN dispatching through electrical automation technology. The algorithm proposed in this paper was a distribution scheduling algorithm based on electrical automation technology. Through this algorithm, real-time monitoring, analysis, and scheduling of PDNs can be achieved, thereby improving the efficiency and reliability of distribution systems and reducing energy consumption. The experimental results showed that before using the distribution scheduling algorithm based on electrical automation technology, the high loss distribution to transformation ratios of power distribution stations in the first to fourth quarters were 21.93%, 22.95%, 23.61%, and 22.47%, respectively. After using the distribution scheduling algorithm, the high loss distribution to transformation ratios for the four quarters were 15.75%, 13.81%, 14.77%, and 13.12%, respectively. This showed that the algorithm can reduce the high loss distribution to transformation ratio of power distribution stations and reduce their distribution losses, which saved electric energy. The research results of this article indicated that electrical automation technology can play an excellent role in the field of PDN scheduling, which optimized the energy-saving management technology of PDN scheduling, indicating an advanced development direction for intelligent management of PDN scheduling.

Abstract: With the passage of time, the importance of spatio-temporal data (STD) is increasing day by day, but the spatiotemporal characteristics of STD bring huge challenges to data processing. Aiming at the problems of image information loss, limited compression ratio, slow compression speed and low compression efficiency, this method based on image compression. This article intended to focus on aircraft trajectory data, meteorological data, and remote sensing image data as the main research objects. The research results would provide more accurate and effective data support for research in related fields. The image compaction algorithm based on deep learning in this article …consisted of two parts: encoder and decoder, and this method was compared with the JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) method. When compressing meteorological data, the algorithm proposed in this paper can achieve a maximum compaction rate of 0.400, while the maximum compaction rate of the JPEG compaction algorithm was only 0.322. If a set of aircraft trajectory data containing 100 data points is compressed to 2:1, the storage space required for the algorithm in this paper is 4.2 MB, while the storage space required for the lossless compression algorithm is 5.6 MB, which increases the compression space by 33.33%. This article adopted an image compaction algorithm based on deep learning and data preprocessing, which can significantly improve the speed and quality of image compaction while maintaining the same compaction rate, and effectively compress spatial and temporal dimensional data.

Abstract: With the rapid development of information technology and the rapid popularization of the Internet, while people enjoy the convenience and efficiency brought about by new technologies, they are also suffering from the harm caused by cyber attacks. In addition to efficiently thwarting network assaults, a high volume of complicated security event data might unintentionally increase the strain of policy makers. At present, NS threats mainly include network viruses, trojans, DOS (Denial-Of-Service), etc. For the increasingly complex Network Security (NS) problems, the traditional rule-based network monitoring technology is difficult to predict the unknown attack behavior. Environment-based, dynamic and integrated data fusion …can integrate data from a macro perspective. In recent years, Machine Learning (ML) technology has developed rapidly, which could easily train, test and predict existing third-party models. It uses ML algorithms to find out the association between data rather than manually sets rules. Support vector machine is a common ML method, which can predict the security of the network well after training and testing. In order to monitor the overall security status of the entire network, NS situation awareness refers to the real-time and accurate reproduction of network attacks using the reconstruction approach. Situation awareness technology is a powerful network monitoring and security technology, but there are many problems in the existing NS technology. For example, the state of the network cannot be accurately detected, and its change rule cannot be understood. In order to effectively predict network attacks, this paper adopted a technology based on ML and data analysis, and constructed a NS situational awareness model. The results showed that the detection efficiency of the model based on ML and data analysis was 7.18% higher than that of the traditional NS state awareness model. Show more

Abstract: With the rapid development of the economy, the power supply has also shown an increasing trend year by year, and many loopholes and hidden dangers have emerged during the operation of the power grid. The power grid may be subject to malicious attacks, such as hacker attacks, power theft, etc. This may lead to security risks such as power grid system paralysis and information leakage. In order to ensure the quality of power supply, it is necessary to optimize the distribution of electricity and improve power supply efficiency. This article pointed out the security performance issues of power Internet of …Things (IoT) terminals and analyzed the design and implementation of a vulnerability mining system for power IoT terminals based on a fuzzy mathematical model simulation platform. This article used a fuzzy mathematical model to quantitatively evaluate the security performance of power IoT terminals, providing an effective theoretical basis for vulnerability mining. Based on the analysis of vulnerability mining technology classification and vulnerability attack process, this article characterizes vulnerability parameters through fuzzy mapping. Based on the collected vulnerability data and the online and device status of power IoT terminals, fuzzy logic inference is used to determine and mine potential vulnerability issues in power IoT terminals. This article aimed to improve the security performance of power IoT terminals and ensure the safe and stable operation of the power system. By testing the number of system vulnerabilities, vulnerability risk level, and vulnerability mining time of the power IoT terminal vulnerability mining system based on fuzzy mathematical models, it was found that the power IoT simulation platform based on fuzzy mathematical models has fewer terminal vulnerabilities. The fuzzy mathematical model can reduce the vulnerability risk level of the power IoT simulation platform system, and the time required for vulnerability mining was reduced; the time was reduced by 0.48 seconds, and the speed of vulnerability mining was improved. Fuzzy mathematical models can promote the development of the power industry, which provides strong support for the security protection of power IoT terminals. Show more

Abstract: An electrical Discharge Machine (EDM) is an effective spark machine that passes the sparks to get the desired shape by performing metal fabrication. In the EDM process, materials are removed between the two electrodes by transferring the workpiece’s high electric voltage and dielectric liquid. The voltage between the two electrodes is gradually increased to break down the dielectrics and remove the materials from the surface. EDM utilizes several parameters to regularize the material removal rate during this process. EDM changes its parameter for every experiment to minimize the Average Tool Wear Rate (ATWR). The existing techniques utilize a neural model …to optimize the EDM parameter. However, the traditional approaches fail to perform the fine-tuning process that affects the Material Removal Rate (MRR) and ATWR. Therefore, meta-heuristics optimization techniques are incorporated with the neural model to enhance the EDM parameter optimization process. In this work, the EDM experimental data have been collected and processed by the learning process to create the training pattern. Then, the test data is investigated using the Backpropagation Neural Model (BPM) to propagate the neural parameters. The BPM model is integrated with the Butterfly Optimization Algorithm (BOA) to select the search space’s global parameters. This analysis clearly shows an 8.93% maximum prediction rate, 0.023 minimum prediction rate and 2.83% mean prediction rate while investigating the different testing patterns compared to other methods.

Abstract: In the era of rapid development of modern internet technology, network transmission techniques are continuously iterating and updating. The Quick UDP Internet Connections (QUIC) protocol has emerged as a timely response to these advancements. Owing to the strong compatibility and high transmission speed of QUIC, its extended version, Multipath QUIC (MPQUIC), has gained popularity. MPQUIC can integrate various transmission scenarios, achieving parallel transmission with higher bandwidth. However, due to some security flaws in the protocol, MPQUIC is susceptible to attacks from anomalous network traffic. To address this issue, we propose an MPQUIC traffic anomaly detection model based on Empirical Mode …Decomposition (EMD) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, which can decompose and denoise data and learn the long-term dependencies of the data. Simulation experiments are conducted by obtaining MPQUIC traffic data under normal and anomalous conditions for prediction, analysis, and evaluation. The results demonstrate that the proposed model exhibits satisfactory prediction performance when trained on both normal and anomalous traffic data, enabling anomaly detection. Moreover, the evaluation metrics indicate that the EMD-LSTM-based model achieves higher accuracy compared to various traditional single models. Show more

Abstract: Currently, the data management of power enterprises faces the need to analyze data sources from multiple places. However, traditional multi-source data fabric systems have problems such as low analysis efficiency and high error rates, which brings great inconvenience to the data analysis of power enterprises.

This article uses simulated annealing genetic algorithm to perform high-performance calculations on system …timing data, thus achieving data matching. This article conducted data level data integration, feature level data integration, and decision level data integration. The access survey method was used to analyze the current data management problems faced by power companies. The evaluation and analysis of general multi-source data fabric systems and multi-source data fabric systems based on intelligent system architecture were conducted using the evaluation panel evaluation method. The analysis results showed that the operational convenience of the multi-source data fabric system based on intelligent system architecture could reach 60%–80%, which greatly improved compared to general multi-source data fabric systems; the information sharing of multi-source data fabric systems based on intelligent system architecture was greatly improved; the data processing efficiency of general multi-source data fabric systems was much lower than that of multi-source data fabric systems based on intelligent system architecture; however, the symmetry of data collection and matching in the multi-source data fabric system based on intelligent system architecture was slightly insufficient, and further improvement was still needed. In order to benefit more power companies through the intelligent system architecture based multi-source data fabric system, it was necessary to strengthen the management of data collection and matching symmetry.

Abstract: With the increasing Power Load (PL), the operation of the power system is facing increasingly severe challenges. PL control is an important means to ensure the stability of power system operation and power supply quality. However, traditional PL control methods have limitations and cannot meet the requirements of load control in the new era of power systems. This is because with the development of modern industry and commerce, the demand for electricity is gradually increasing. This article constructed a PL control and management terminal operating system based on machine learning technology to achieve intelligent management of PL, so as to …improve the operational efficiency and power supply quality of the power system. This article identified the design concept of a PL control management terminal operating system based on machine learning technology by reviewing the current research status of PL control technology. Based on the operational characteristics and data characteristics of the power system, this article selected suitable machine learning algorithms to process and analyze load data, and established a prototype of a PL control and management terminal operating system based on machine learning technology, so as to realize intelligent processing and analysis of load data and conduct experimental verification. The experimental results show that through the comparative study of 6 sets of data in the tertiary level, the difference between the system and the real tertiary level is 0.079 kw, 0.005 kw and 0.189 kw respectively. Therefore, therefore, the average difference between the predicted value and the measured value of the PL system is about 0.091 kw. This indicated that the system had high accuracy and real-time performance in predicting PL, which could effectively improve the load control efficiency and power supply quality of the power system. The PL control management terminal operating system based on machine learning technology constructed in this article provided new ideas and methods for the development of PL control technology. In the future, system algorithms can be further optimized and a more intelligent PL control and management terminal operating system can be constructed to cope with the growing PL and increasingly complex power system operating environment.

Abstract: Incremental learning relies on the availability of ample training data for novel classes, a requirement that is often unfeasible in various application scenarios, particularly when new classes are rare groups that are pricey or challenging to attain. The main focus of incremental learning is on the tricky task of continuously learning to classify new classes in incoming data with no erasing knowledge of old classes. The research intends to develop a comparative analysis of optimization algorithms in training few-shot continual learning models to conquer catastrophic forgetting. The presented mechanism integrates various steps: pre-processing and classification. Images are initially pre-processed through …contrast enhancement to elevate their quality.

Abstract: In the face of a growing global population, optimizing agricultural practices is crucial. One major challenge is weed infestation, which significantly reduces crop yields and increases production costs. This paper presents a novel system for weed-crop classification and image detection specifically designed for sesame fields. We leverage the capabilities of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) by employing and comparing different modified YOLO based object detection models, including YOLOv8, YOLO NAS, and the recently released Gold YOLO. Our investigation utilizes two datasets: a publicly available weed image collection and a custom dataset we meticulously created containing sesame plants and various weed species …commonly found in sesame fields. The custom dataset boasts a significant size of 2148 images, enriching the training process. Our findings reveal that the YOLOvv8 model surpasses both YOLO NAS and Gold YOLO in terms of key evaluation metrics like precision, recall and mean average precisions. This suggests that YOLOv8 demonstrates exceptional potential for real-time, on-field weed identification in sesame cultivation, promoting informed weed management strategies and ultimately contributing to improve agricultural yield.

Abstract: SOC is a crucial parameter in battery management systems (BMS), indicating the remaining amount of charge in a battery. Longer battery life and the removal of catastrophic battery damage are the results of accurate SOC assessment. Furthermore, it is crucial to have a dependable and precise estimation of SoC for an effective EV operation. Therefore, the lithium battery represents a characteristic nonlinear system, as well as the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) algorithm proves to be a viable approach for SOC estimation. It is necessary to develop a new model called Modified EKF for SOC estimate based on EKF and KF …in order to improve the stability and accuracy of the anticipated SOC. In this instance, the statistical cumulative error is utilized to determine the SOC using the Extended Kalman filter. Higher-order statistical characteristics including homogeneity, skewness, kurtosis, contrast, and entropy are taken into consideration in order to calculate the error involved in the estimation of SOC. Here, the suggested plan is to be simulated in MATLAB, and the temporal efficacy of the suggested approach is verified. The estimated Modified-EKF MAE is 0.2681%, the estimated SoC error RMSE is 0.34051%, and the estimated MSE is 0.11595%. Show more

Abstract: The contemporary fog computing paradigm evolved from traditional cloud computing to give storage and computation resources at the network’s edge. Fog enabled vehicular processing is anticipated to be a fundamental component that may expedite a variety of applications, notably crowd-sensing, when applied to vehicular networks. As a result, the confidentiality and safety of vehicles participating in the crowd-sensing platform are now recognized as critical challenges for smart police and cyber defence. Furthermore, sophisticated access control is essential to meet the requirements of crowd-sensing users of information. This work presents a novel secured fog-based protocol for vehicular crowd sensing utilizing an attribute-based encryption …model. The proposed framework incorporates a two-layered fog architecture termed fog layer A and fog layer B. Fog layer A includes data owners (vehicles) and fog nodes, while fog layer B consists of fog nodes integrated with Road Side Units (RSUs). The Transport Triggered Architecture (TTA) governs the retrieval of regular or specialized data as per the request of data users. The data collection procedure varies based on the type of data being processed. Regular data is gathered from data owners, aggregated using the Multiple Kernel Induced in Kernel Least Mean Square (MKI-KLMS) technique, which employs kernel least mean square and hierarchical fractional bidirectional least mean square methods to handle redundancy in data aggregation. Subsequently, the aggregated data is encrypted using the Proposed Fusion Key for Encryption (PFKE) technique, which employs a fusion key for message encryption. Additionally, an enhanced Blowfish algorithm is applied for an extra layer of encryption on the already encrypted data. The encrypted data is then transmitted to the TTA. The decryption process utilizes the same key to retrieve the original message. The Modified Attribute based Encryption Model (MAEM) scheme achieves the highest efficiency of 90.9476. Show more

Abstract: Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) pose significant routing challenges due to their decentralized and dynamic nature. Node mobility results in frequent changes in network topology, leading to unsFIG connectivity and link quality. Traditional RPs designed for static networks are inadequate for MANETs. To deal with these issues, a secure routing approach is proposed using the Red Panda-Lyrebrid Optimization (RePLO) algorithm, which combines the advantages of the Red Panda Optimization (RPO) and Lyrebird Optimization Algorithm (LOA) algorithms. The proposed approach consists of five steps: (i) configuring the system model, (ii) developing the energy model, (iii) creating the mobility model, (iv) selecting …cluster heads using the RePLO algorithm, and (v) routing using the RePLO algorithm. The RePLO algorithm optimizes cluster head selection and routing while considering specific constraints such as delay, distance, energy, & security for Cluster Head (CH) selection, and link quality and enhanced trust for routing optimization. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is evaluated using various metrics to demonstrate its efficiency in MANET routing. By integrating multiple optimization techniques and considering critical constraints, the RePLO algorithm offers a systematic and secure solution for MANET routing. The evaluation results confirm the efficacy of the proposed approach in improving network performance, reliability, and security. Overall, the RePLO algorithm presents a promising approach to tackle the routing issues inherent in MANETs, paving the way for more robust and efficient communication in mobile ad hoc networks.

Octopus is a universal matrix programming framework that provides a programming model based on matrix operations, which can conveniently analyze and process large-scale data. By using Octopus, users can extract functions and data from multiple platforms and operate through a unified matrix operation interface. The distributed matrix representation …and storage layer can design data storage formats for distributed file systems. Each computing platform in OctMatrix provides its own matrix library, and it provides a matrix library written in R language for the above users. SymboMatrix provides a matrix interface to OctMatrix that is consistent with OctMatrix. However, SymboMatrix also retains the flow diagram for matrix operations in the process, and it also supports logical and physical optimization of the flow diagram on a DAG. For the DAG computational flow graph generated by SymbolMatrix, this paper divided it into two parts: logical optimization and physical optimization. This paper adopted a distributed file system based on line matrix, and obtained the corresponding platform matrix by reading the documents based on line matrix. In the evaluation of system performance, it was found that the distributed matrix computing system had a high computing efficiency, and the average CPU (central processing unit) usage reached 70%.

Furthermore, the research will provide new technological means for the measurement of related sports projects. In contrast to the utilization of human motion recognition technology, the study introduces image recognition technology into …the domain of standing long jump testing. This technology enables the calculation of distance through the application of image processing and perspective transformation algorithms, thereby facilitating the realization of a distance measurement function. Specifically, this includes using wavelet decomposition coefficients and morphological denoising to improve the performance of wavelet threshold denoising, achieving feature extraction of image edge information, adding vibration sensors and CNN algorithms to adjust the angle of offset images, and designing a multi-step long jump distance measurement system. The combination of wavelet decomposition coefficients and morphological denoising utilized in the study demonstrated lower mean square error (50.8369) and signal-to-noise ratio (24.1126) values, with a maximum accuracy of 96.23%, which was significantly higher than the other two comparison methods. In the context of different feature information recognition, the ROC curve area of the algorithm model proposed in the study reached over 85%, with a deviation in the dataset of all below 0.5. The minimum absolute and relative errors between the measurement results of this method and the actual test results were 0.01 cm and 2%, respectively. The overall deviation of the system was 0.35, indicating high stability. The proposed long jump measurement system has the potential to enhance the efficiency of testing for the standing long jump, while also forming a complementary mode with traditional distance measurement systems. This could collectively serve the intelligent instrument market, providing technical means for the development of sports teaching projects. Show more

Abstract: Recent research suggests that by 2023, the production of data will exceed 300 exabytes per month, a figure surpassing human verbal communication by over 60 times. This exponential growth underscores the need for platforms to adapt in areas such as data analysis and storage. Efficient data organization is crucial, considering the growing scarcity of time and space resources. While manual sorting may suffice for small datasets in smaller organizations, large corporations dealing with millions or billions of documents require advanced tools to streamline storage, sorting, and analysis processes. In response to this need, this research introduces a novel architecture called …Slick, designed to enhance sorting, filtering, organization, and analysis capabilities for any storage service. The proposed architecture incorporates two innovative techniques – Degree of Importance (DOI) and amortized clustering – along with established natural language processing methods such as Topic Modelling, Summarization, and Tonal Analysis. Additionally, a new methodology for keyword extraction and document grouping is presented, resulting in significantly improved response times. It offers a searchable platform where users can utilize succinct keywords, lengthy text passages, or complete documents to access the information they seek. Experimental findings demonstrate a nearly 46 percent reduction in average response time compared to existing methods in literature. Show more

Abstract: With the rapid development of computer technology, parameter adaptive control methods are becoming more and more widely used in nonlinear systems. However, there are still many problems with synchronous controllers with multiple inputs and a single output, uncertainty, and dynamic characteristics. This paper analyzed a synchronization control strategy of uncoupled nonlinear systems based on parameter dynamic factors to adjust the performance of the synchronization controller, and briefly introduced the manifestations of chaotic motion. The characteristics and differences of continuous feedback control methods and transmission and transfer control methods were pointed out. Simple, effective, stable, and feasible synchronous control was analyzed …using parameter-adaptive control theory. By analyzing the non-linear relationships between various models at different orders, the fuzzy distribution of the second-order mean and their independent and uncorrelated matrices were obtained, and their corresponding law formulas were established to solve the functional expression between the corresponding state variables and the dynamic characteristics of the system. The error risk test, computational complexity test, synchronization performance score test, and chaos system control effect score test were carried out on the control algorithms of traditional chaos system synchronization methods and chaos system synchronization methods based on parameter adaptive methods. Parameter adaptive methods were found to effectively reduce the error risk of high-performance control algorithms for synchronization of the unified chaos system. The complexity of the calculation process was simplified and the complexity score of the calculation process was reduced by 0.6. The application of parameter adaptive methods could effectively improve the synchronization performance of control algorithms, and the control effectiveness rating of control algorithms was improved. The experimental test results proved the effectiveness of control algorithms, which greatly enriched the field of modern control applications and also drove the vigorous development of nonlinear dynamics research, thus making significant progress in chaos application research.

Abstract: Globalization leads to expanding international trade and the integration of national economies into the global economy. Global cities also known as world cities, are increasingly recognized as powerful and economically competitive hubs in the global economy. These cities are characterized by their high levels of interconnectedness, both within their urban fabric and with other major cities around the globe. A global city’s economic strength is a key factor since it attracts foreign investors and citizens. Thus, examining the economics of global cities has gained popularity among specialists as a research topic. However, several economic methods have been utilized to forecast …the world economy in recent decades. Yet, their prediction rates are quite low. Hence, analyzing the economics in the world cities has become a hot research topic among experts. Despite the implementation of various economic prediction techniques over the past decades, their performance in accurately forecasting economic outcomes remains low. Hence, in this research work, an automated economic analysis strategy is introduced for the world cities to tackle this problem. Firstly, data from various benchmark sources have been collected to gather data on world cities for predicting economic status. Further, the garnered data are involved with the data pre-processing, where the data are processed to produce better predictions without any false rate. Subsequently, deep features are extracted from the resultant pre-processed data to enhance network performance. Finally, the extracted deep features are subjected to the Adaptive Deep Capsule Network with Attention Mechanism (ADCapNet-AM) for the economic forecast of the world cities. Here, the Improved Humboldt Squid Optimization Algorithm (IHSOA) is employed for optimizing the network parameters in ADCapNet-AM. Finally, the predicted outcomes are analyzed and balanced with the existing prediction techniques to showcase the effectiveness of the designed model. Show more

Abstract: In film and television production, efficient and precise image processing is vital for achieving realistic visual effects. Therefore, exploring and applying advanced image processing technologies has become an essential method for elevating the production quality of film and television projects. This work investigates the application of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in the processing and production of animated images in film and television scenarios. By comparing the performance of standard Generative Adversarial Network (GAN), DenseNet, and CycleGAN models under different noise conditions, it is found that CycleGAN performs the best in image denoising and detail restoration. Experimental results demonstrate that CycleGAN …achieves a Peak Signal-to-noise Ratio (PSNR) of 30.1dB and a Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) of 0.88 under Gaussian noise conditions. Moreover, CycleGAN achieves a PSNR of 29.5dB and an SSIM of 0.85 under salt-and-pepper noise conditions. It outperforms the other models in both conditions. Additionally, CycleGAN’s mean absolute error is significantly lower than that of the other models. This work demonstrates that CycleGAN can more effectively handle complex noise and generate high-quality images under unsupervised learning conditions. These findings provide new directions for future image processing research and offer important references for model selection in practical applications. This work not only offers new perspectives on the development of animation image processing technology but also establishes a theoretical foundation for applying advanced AI techniques in film and television production. Through comparative analysis of various deep learning models, this work highlights the superior performance of CycleGAN under complex noise conditions. This advancement not only drives progress in image processing technology but also provides effective solutions for efficient production and quality enhancement of future film and television works.

Abstract: Traditional data storage models are inadequate in the face of the growing demand for big data in transportation and transportation management. Its poor horizontal scalability makes it difficult to deal with the growth of massive data; on the other hand, its complex management makes it challenging to achieve unified management and effective resource utilization due to the differences in equipment from different manufacturers. In order to effectively store and manage this huge amount of information, it is urgent to rely on advanced technical tools. In this context, while ensuring data security and simplifying data management, it is also necessary to …meet the terminal’s demand for high real-time performance, and these factors jointly promote the continuous attention and improvement of data storage terminal performance. This paper proposes a Hadoop solution based on distributed computing. As a distributed system infrastructure, Hadoop allows users to develop distributed programs without a deep understanding of distributed details, fully using the high-speed computing and storage capabilities of Hadoop clusters, which is especially suitable for big data processing tasks on the Internet of Things (IoT) platform. The experimental results show that for a 10 GB data file, the traditional terminal (Terminal 1) can store 7.8 GB, while the Hadoop-based terminal (Terminal 2) can store 9.9 GB. For 50 GB of data files, Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 can store 40.4 GB and 49.8 GB of data respectively. These results show that Hadoop terminals have significant advantages in processing large-scale data, especially in terms of data storage efficiency, and can use storage resources more effectively to meet the high-performance requirements of traffic and transportation management for data storage terminals.

Abstract: Automated models using deep learning are more extensively used in medical imaging in the last decade. The present study contributes to the diagnosis of dementia using MRI. Dementia is a syndrome that deteriorates the cognitive function of the brain. The disease has no cure, till now, except for the prior diagnosis. The present study aims for classifying the MRI scans of two datasets OASIS and ADNI into 2 categories: binary and multi-classification. To achieve the objective, the EfficientNetB0 architecture of deep learning is fine-tuned by adding three dense layers on the top of the network. The swish activation function is …used in the inner dense layers added. The dropout and batch normalization layers are also added for dealing with the problem of overfitting. This architecture offers high accuracy and high efficiency compared to other pre-trained networks. The model is assessed on various performance measures and outperformed the state of art techniques. For the OASIS dataset, the best testing accuracy for binary classification is 93.10% with a 0.01 learning rate. The sensitivity is 95.93%, specificity is 90.08%, false-negative rate is 4.07, the false-positive rate is 9.92 and the F1-score is 93.48%. The best testing accuracy of multi-classification is 84.50% with a 0.001 learning rate. For the ADNI dataset, the best testing accuracy is 96.08% with a learning rate of 0.001. The sensitivity is 94.74%, specificity is 99.32%, false-negative rate is 5.26, the false-positive rate is 0.68 and the f1-score is 97.16%. The best testing accuracy of multi-classification is 98.10 with a 0.01 learning rate.

Abstract: In modern supply chain management, it is crucial to be able to track the flow of goods in real-time and maintain data integrity. Research focuses on the transparency, security, and efficiency improvements brought about by blockchain technology, and how these improvements can help address information asymmetry issues in supply chain management and improve overall operational efficiency. At the same time, the study explored the working principle of the practical Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus mechanism, proposed relevant improvement measures, and analyzed how these improvements can be effectively applied in the scenario of supply chain information sharing to improve the stability and efficiency …of the overall system. The research results show that the overall latency of improved PBFT is maintained at the millisecond level, while the latency of traditional PBFT can reach several seconds or exceed 10 seconds. In terms of CPU resource consumption, the demand for improving PBFT only shows linear growth, while the demand for traditional PBFT increases sharply. In addition, improving PBFT also has significant advantages in communication costs. In an 8-node network, the communication volume of improved PBFT is only 11.27 KB, while traditional PBFT is 43.67 KB. In terms of throughput and latency performance, the improved PBFT can handle over 16000 requests per second in a 16 node network, significantly better than the traditional PBFT’s approximately 8000 requests. Meanwhile, at 64 nodes, the improved version has a latency of 301.7 milliseconds, much lower than the traditional version’s 510.2 milliseconds. These improvements demonstrate the advantages of improving PBFT in enhancing supply chain transparency, security, and efficiency, providing effective technical support for the digitization and intelligence of supply chain management. We hope that research can promote the digitization and intelligence of supply chain management, and facilitate the efficient operation and optimization of the supply chain. Show more

Abstract: Faced with the situation that the elderly people at home have dangerous behaviors, the study explores various aspects of motion target detection, real-time target tracking and behavioral pose recognition and classification, using behavioral poses in videos as samples. To tackle the challenges in detecting motion targets, a target detection method based on Gaussian mixture model (GMM) and four frame difference method is proposed; A tracking technique incorporating Kalman filter (KF) is investigated to trail the behavioral changes of the elderly in actual time. A seven-layer convolutional neural network (CNN) is constructed to face the problem of inaccurate behavioral pose recognition. …Through relevant experimental analyses, the outcomes show that the increased GMM detection way has a complete profile and the accuracy is significantly improved. The KF target tracking technique can trail the object trajectory in actual time and steadily, with the smallest trailing error value of 0.19. The classification accuracy of the CNN pose recognition model is 95.87%, and the pose classification time is 27 seconds. Its performance is superior to the mean shift algorithm, particle filter algorithm, and Cam Shift algorithm in all aspects. When applied in practice, it can accurately identify whether the elderly’s behavior is abnormal and ensure their daily health. Show more
