Abstract: Due to the complexity of the calculation process of the existing methods, the efficiency of data fusion of the power grid model is low. In order to improve the knowledge fusion effect of power grid model, this paper studied the knowledge fusion method of power grid model based on Seq2seq half pointer and half label method. The Text Rank algorithm is used to calculate the weight of semantic nodes of each grid model, and combined with the topological potential method, the semantic information of the grid model is extracted according to the final weight value, and the Seq2Seq semi-pointer semi-label …model framework is constructed. The data of the scheduling automation system OMS and the production management system PMS are used as input. The extracted candidate mesh model semantics and the original mesh model semantics are encoded by Seq2Seq half-pointer half-label model. The semantic data of the power grid model is fused and sent to the Seq2Seq encoder. After the training is completed, the effective information is extracted from the power grid model through the Seq2Seq model to complete the knowledge fusion of the power grid model. Experimental results show that this method eliminates the redundant part of the basic attributes of each data source in the substation grid model after knowledge fusion, and the description of each basic attribute is more standardized, unified and perfect. Under different mesh model data dimensions, the support of the proposed method is all above 98%. The model trained by the proposed method tends to be stable after 120 iterations, and the precision, recall and F1 of the test set are 0.98, 0.93 and 0.91, respectively. At the same time, this method has high efficiency in the knowledge fusion processing of the power grid model, and its data processing speed is less than 160 s. The average integrity of the private data of the power grid model is 98.86%, indicating that the proposed method can better ensure the integrity of the data. Finally, compared with the application of other methods under different data amounts, the mean square error obtained by the proposed method is the smallest, indicating that the proposed method effectively improves the fusion accuracy.

Abstract: Multivariate Time Series (MTS) forecasting has gained significant importance in diverse domains. Although Recurrent Neural Network (RNN)-based approaches have made notable advancements in MTS forecasting, they do not effectively tackle the challenges posed by noise and unordered data. Drawing inspiration from advancing the Transformer model, we introduce a transformer-based method called STFormer to address this predicament. The STFormer utilizes a two-stage Transformer to capture spatio-temporal relationships and tackle the issue of noise. Furthermore, the MTS incorporates adaptive spatio-temporal graph structures to tackle the issue of unordered data specifically. The Transformer incorporates graph embedding to combine spatial position information with long-term …temporal connections. Experimental results based on typical finance and environment datasets demonstrate that STFormer surpasses alternative baseline forecasting models and achieves state-of-the-art results for single-step horizon and multistep horizon forecasting.

Abstract: Mineral classification is a crucial task for geologists. Minerals are identified by their characteristics. In the field, geologists can identify minerals by examining lustre, color, streak, hardness, crystal habit, cleavage, fracture, and specific features. Geologists sometimes use a magnifying hand lens to identify minerals in the field. Surface color can assist in identifying minerals. However, it varies widely, even within a single mineral family. Some minerals predominantly show a single color. So, identifying minerals is possible considering surface color and texture. But, again, a limited database of minerals is available with large-scale images. So, the challenges arise to identify the …minerals using their images with limited images. With the advancement of machine learning, the deep learning approach with bi-layer feature fusion enhances the dimension of the feature vector with the possibility of high accuracy. Here, an experimental analysis is reported with three possibilities of bi-layer feature fusion of three CNN models like Alexnet, VGG16 & VGG19, and a framework is suggested. Alexnet delivers the highest performance with the bi-layer fusion of fc6 and fc7. The achieved accuracy is 84.23%, sensitivity 84.23%, specificity 97.37%, precision 84.7%, FPR 2.63%, F1 Score 84.17%, MCC 81.75%, and Kappa 53.59%. Show more

Abstract: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have gained popularity across various research fields in recent years. GNNs utilize graphs to construct an embedding that includes details about the nodes and edges in a graph’s neighborhood. In this work, a set of Region Adjacency Graphs (RAG) derives the attribute values from Static Signature (SS) images. These attribute values are used to label the nodes of the complete graph, which is formed by considering each signature as a node taken from the sample of signatures of a specific signer. The complete graph is trained by using GraphSAGE, an inductive representation learning method. This trained …model helps to determine any newly introduced node (static signature to be tested) as genuine or fake. Standard static signature datasets, notably GPDSsynthetic and MCYT-75 are used to test the prevailing model. Experimental results on genuine and counterfeit signature networks demonstrate that our computed model enables a high rate of accuracy (GPDSsynthetic 99.91% and MCYT-75 99.56%) and minimum range of loss (GPDSsynthetic 0.0061 and MCYT-75 0.0070) on node classification.

Abstract: The Fuzzy C-means (FCM) algorithm is one of the most widely used algorithms in unsupervised pattern recognition. As the intensity of observation noise increases, FCM tends to produce large center deviations and even overlap clustering problems. The relative entropy fuzzy C-means algorithm (REFCM) adds relative entropy as a regularization function to the fuzzy C-means algorithm, which has a good ability for noise detection and membership assignment to observed values. However, REFCM still tends to generate overlapping clusters as the size of the cluster increases and becomes imbalanced. Moreover, the convergence speed of this algorithm is slow. To solve this problem, …modified suppressed relative entropy fuzzy c-means clustering (MSREFCM) is proposed. Specifically, the MSREFCM algorithm improves the convergence speed of the algorithm while maintaining the accuracy and anti-noise capability of the REFCM algorithm by adding a suppression strategy based on the intra-class average distance measurement. In addition, to further improve the clustering performance of MSREFCM for multidimensional imbalanced data, the center overlapping problem and the center offset problem of elliptical data are solved by replacing the Euclidean distance in REFCM with the Mahalanobis distance. Experiments on several synthetic and UCI datasets indicate that MSREFCM can improve the convergence speed and classification performance of the REFCM for spherical and ellipsoidal datasets with imbalanced sizes. In particular, for the Statlog dataset, the running time of MSREFCM is nearly one second less than that of REFCM, and the accuracy of MSREFCM is 0.034 higher than that of REFCM. Show more

Abstract: Communication is an essential component of human nature. It connects humans, allowing them to learn, grow, col-laborate, and resolve conflicts. Several aspects of human society, relationships, and growth would be significantly hampered in the absence of efficient communication. Hand gesture recognition is a way to interact with technology that can be particularly useful for individuals with disabilities. This hand gesture recognition is mainly employed in sign language translation, healthcare, rehabilitation, prosthesis, and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). The high degree of dexterity is a main challenge for prosthetic limbs. In order to meet this challenge, hand gesture recognition is employed for the …prosthetic limb, which can be used for rehabilitation. The objective of this article is to show the methodology for the recognition of hand gestures using Electromyography (EMG) signals. This article uses the pro-posed time domain feature extraction method called Absolute Fluctuation Analysis (AFA) along with the Root Mean Square (RMS) for the feature extraction method. Along with these feature extraction methods, repeated stratified K-fold cross validation is used for the validation of the classifiers such as the XGB classifier, the K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN) classifier, the Decision Tree classifier, the Random Forest classifier, and the SVM classifier, whose mean recognition accuracy is given by 93.26%, 87.42%, 85.26%, 92.23%, and 91.78%, respectively. The recognition accuracy of machine learning classifiers is being compared with state-of-the-art networks such as artificial neural net-works (ANN), long short-term memory (LSTM), bidirectional LSTM, gated recurrent units (GRU), and convolution-al neural networks (CNN), which provide recognition accuracy of 96.65%, 99.16%, 99.94%, and 99.99%, respectively.

Abstract: Intelligent vehicles require accurate identification of traversable road areas and the ability to provide precise and real-time localization data in unstructured road environments. To address these issues, we propose a system for traversable map construction and robust localization in unstructured road environments based on a priori knowledge. The proposed method performs traversable area segmentation on the LiDAR point cloud and employs a submap strategy to jointly optimize multiple frames of data to obtain a reliable and accurate point cloud map of the traversable area, which is then rasterized and combined with the vehicle kinematic model for global path planning. Then, …it integrates priori map information and real-time sensor information to provide confidence and priori constraints to ensure the robustness of localization, and it fuses multi-sensor heterogeneous data to improve real-time localization. Experiments are conducted in a mining environment to evaluate the performance of the proposed method on an unstructured road. The experimental results demonstrate that the traversable map and localization results based on the proposed method can meet the requirements for autonomous vehicle driving on unstructured roads and provide reliable priori foundation and localization information for autonomous vehicle navigation.

Abstract: Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is an interconnection of tiny biosensors that are organized in/on several parts of the body. The developed WBAN is used to sense and transmit health-related data over the wireless medium. Energy efficiency is the primary challenges for increasing the life expectancy of the network. To address the issue of energy efficiency, one of the essential approaches i.e., the selection of an appropriate relay node is modelled as an optimization problem. In this paper, energy efficient routing optimization using Multiobjective-Energy Centric Honey Badger Optimization (M-ECHBA) is proposed to improve life expectancy. The proposed M-ECHBA is optimized …by using the energy, distance, delay and node degree. Moreover, the Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) is used to perform the node scheduling at transmission. Therefore, the M-ECHBA method is used to discover the optimal routing path for enhancing energy efficiency while minimizing the transmission delay of WBAN. The performances of the M-ECHBA are analyzed using life expectancy, dead nodes, residual energy, delay, packets received by the Base Station (BS), Packet Loss Ratio (PLR) and routing overhead. The M-ECHBA is evaluated with some classical approaches namely SIMPLE, ATTEMPT and RE-ATTEMPT. Further, this M-ECHBA is compared with the existing routing approach Novel Energy Efficient hybrid Meta-heuristic Approach (NEEMA), hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization-Simulated Annealing (hPSO-SA), Energy Balanced Routing (EBR), Threshold-based Energy-Efficient Routing Protocol for physiological Critical Data Transmission (T-EERPDCT), Clustering and Cooperative Routing Protocol (CCRP), Intelligent-Routing Algorithm for WBANs namely I-RAW, distributed energy-efficient two-hop-based clustering and routing namely DECR and Modified Power Line System (M-POLC). The dead nodes of M-ECHBA for scenario 3 at 8000 rounds are 4 which is less when compared to the dead nodes of EBR. Show more
