Abstract: A cubic fuzzy graph is a type of fuzzy graph that simultaneously supports two different fuzzy memberships. The study of connectivity in cubic fuzzy graph is an interesting and challenging topic. This research generalized the neighborhood connectivity index in a cubic fuzzy graph with the aim of investigating the connection status of nodes with respect to adjacent vertices. In this survey, the neighborhood connectivity index was introduced in the form of two numerical and distance values. Some characteristics of the neighborhood connectivity index were investigated in cubic fuzzy cycles, saturated cubic fuzzy cycle, complete cubic fuzzy graph and complementary cubic …fuzzy graph. The method of constructing a cubic fuzzy graph with arbitrary neighborhood connectivity index was the other point in this research. The results showed that the neighborhood connectivity index depends on the potential of nodes and the number of neighboring nodes. This research was conducted on the Central Bank’s data regarding inter-bank relations and its results were compared in terms of neighborhood connectivity index. Show more

Abstract: Point cloud object detection is gradually playing a key role in autonomous driving tasks. To address the issue of insensitivity to sparse objects in point cloud object detection, we have made improvements to the voxel encoding and 3D backbone network of the PVRCNN++. We have introduced adaptive pooling operations during voxel feature encoding to expand the point cloud information within each voxel, followed by the utilization of multi-layer perceptrons to extract richer point cloud features. On the 3D backbone network, we have employed adaptive sparse convolution operations to make the backbone network’s channel count more flexible, allowing it to accommodate …a wider range of input data types. Furthermore, we have integrated Focal Loss to tackle the issue of class imbalance in detection tasks. Experimental results on the public KITTI dataset demonstrate significant improvements over the PVRCNN++, particularly in pedestrian and bicycle detection tasks. Specifically, we have observed 1% increase in detection accuracy for pedestrians and 2.1% improvement for bicycles. Our detection performance also surpasses that of other comparative detection algorithms. Show more

Abstract: Non-speech emotion recognition involves identifying emotions conveyed through non-verbal vocalizations such as laughter, crying, and other sound signals, which play a crucial role in emotional expression and transmission. This paper employs a nine-category discrete emotion model encompassing happy, sad, angry, peaceful, fearful, loving, hateful, brave, and neutral. A proprietary non-speech dataset comprising 2337 instances was utilized, with 384-dimensional feature vectors extracted. The traditional Backpropagation Neural Network (BPNN) algorithm achieved a recognition rate of 87.7% on the non-speech dataset. In contrast, the proposed Whale Optimization Algorithm - Backpropagation Neural Network (WOA-BPNN) algorithm, applied to a self-made non-speech dataset, demonstrated a remarkable …accuracy of 98.6%. Notably, even without facial emotional cues, non-speech sounds effectively convey dynamic information, and the proposed algorithm excels in their recognition. The study underscores the importance of non-speech emotional signals in communication, especially with the continuous advancement of artificial intelligence technology. The abstract thus encapsulates the paper’s focus on leveraging AI algorithms for high-precision non-speech emotion recognition. Show more

Abstract: Given that cloud computing is a relatively new field of study, there is an urgent need for comprehensive approaches to resource provisioning and the allocation of Internet of Things (IoT) services across cloud infrastructure. Other challenging aspects of cloud computing include IoT resource virtualization and disseminating IoT services among available cloud resources. To meet deadlines, optimize application execution times, efficiently use cloud resources, and identify the optimal service location, service placement plays a crucial role in installing services on existing virtual resources within a cloud-based environment. To achieve load balance in the fog computing infrastructure and ensure optimal resource allocation, …this work proposes a meta-heuristic approach based on the cat swarm optimization method. For more clarity in the difference between the work presented in this research and other similar works, we named the proposed technique MH-CSO. The algorithm incorporates a resource check parameter to determine the accessibility and suitability of resources in different situations. This conclusion was drawn after evaluating the proposed solution in the ifogsim environment and comparing it with particle swarm and ant colony optimization techniques. The findings demonstrate that the proposed solution successfully optimizes key parameters, including runtime and energy usage. Show more

Abstract: The segmentation of neuronal morphology in electron microscopy images is crucial for the analysis and understanding of neuronal function. However, most of the existing segmentation methods are not suitable for challenging datasets where the neuronal structure is contaminated by noise or has interrupted parts. In this paper, we propose a segmentation method based on deep learning to determine the location information of neurons and reduce the influence of image noise in the data. Specifically, we adapt our neuron dataset based on UNet by using convolution with BN fusion and multi-input feature fusion. The method is named REDAFNet. The model simplifies …the model structure and enhances the generalization ability by fusing the convolution layer and BN layer. The noise interference in the data was reduced by multi-input feature fusion, and the ability to understand and express the data was enhanced. The method takes a neuron image as input and its pixel segmentation map as output. Experimental results show that the segmentation accuracy of the proposed method is 91.96%, 93.86% and 80.25% on the ISBI2012 dataset, U-RISC retinal neuron dataset and N2DH-GOWT1 stem cell dataset, respectively. Compared with the existing segmentation methods, the proposed method can extract more complete feature information and achieve more accurate segmentation. Show more

Abstract: As CO2 emissions continue to rise, the problem of global warming is becoming increasingly serious. It is important to provide a robust management decision-making basis for the reductions of carbon emissions worldwide by predicting carbon emissions accurately. However, affected by various factors, the prediction of carbon emissions is challenging due to its nonlinear and nonstationary characteristics. Thus, we propose a combination forecast model, named CEEMDAN-GWO-SVR, which incorporates multiple features to predict trends in China’s carbon emissions. First, the impact of online search attention and public health emergencies are considered in carbon emissions prediction. Since the impact of different variables …on carbon emissions is lagged, the grey relational degree is used to identify the appropriate lag series. Second, irrelevant features are eliminated through RFECV. To address the issue of feature redundancy of online search attention, we propose a dimensionality reduction method based on keyword classification. Finally, to evaluate the features of the proposed framework, four evaluation indicators are tested in multiple machine learning models. The best-performed model (SVR) is optimized by CEEMDAN and GWO to enhance prediction accuracy. The empirical results indicate that the proposed framework maintains good performance in both multi-scenario and multi-step prediction. Show more
