Abstract: Proper and systematic management of food industry failures can improve the quality of products and save a lot on the costs of organizations and people’s health. One of the conventional methods for risk assessment is the Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) which is often performed in a phase or stage. Compared to the combined methods, this method is less accurate due to similar priorities of failure in the evaluation and the lack of consideration of the interaction between risks. The current research has applied an integrated approach based on two techniques, FMEA and Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM), in a …multi-stage manner to increase assessment accuracy and ranking of failures. By considering the risks of an industry in an uncertain environment and the causal relationships between failures, this approach can evaluate the industry’s risks better than conventional methods. In the research method, the initial prioritization of failures by the FMEA method is used as the input of the multi-stage FCM. The cause-and-effect relationship between the failures is determined by experts and the functional records of the processes, and the FCM is prepared. Since no research evaluates the risks of the malting industry step by step and considers the causal relationships between the risks, the present study has improved risk evaluation in the malting industry by using a multi-stage FCM. The ranking results with the proposed hybrid approach and its comparison with the conventional methods showed that the rating became more accurate, and the multiple priorities were improved. Managers of the malt beverage industry can make effective investment decisions to reduce or better control the risks of this industry by using the results of applying the proposed approach. Show more

Abstract: It is observed that IFSs are defined based on the concept that the iterates take only an integer number of times. This work studies the dynamics of functions, where a function can iterate r times for every r ∈ R . Utilizing concepts from fuzzy sets, r -times iterates of a function are defined for r ∈ R . The study demonstrates that the chaotic property can be generalized to this new iterative concept. The chaotic behavior of a function is then extended using this iterative concept.

Abstract: Parkinson disease (PD) is a type of neurodegenerative disorder that affects the motor movement of the patient. But each technique has its own advantages or disadvantages. In gene, speech and handwriting data model, the feature extraction and reduction is an important step for efficient classification. These two steps require proper attention for selection and also require high processing time as compared to other data model like images. Because in image modality, the deep learning algorithm can be applied that can perform all process and automate the classification. As compared to these domains, the signal produces better and best results. Because …the electroencephalogram (EEG) signal are taken from the brain using electrodes and it helps to observe the brain signals effectively and immediately as compared to the other data modals. Hence, in this paper, the wavelet transform will be used to decompose the signals and statistical features will be extracted from the transformed signal. Here, the satin bower bird optimization will be used for both type of wavelet selection and feature reduction process for final classification. The reduced feature set will be classified using Ensemble Neural Network type including InceptionV3, DenseNet, MobileNet, Xception, and NasNet) recently proposed for medical image classification. The whole process will be realized using MATLAB R2021a software and its performance will be evaluated in terms of Accuracy and is compared against Automated Tunable Q-wavelet transform performance. The proposed ensemble method, employing EEG signal processing and neural networks, achieved a 97% success rate in discriminating PD datasets, surpassing Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Machine Learning (ML) classifications (88% –92%). Utilizing MATLAB R2021a, its superiority over Q-wavelet transform was evident, signifying improved PD dataset discrimination. Show more

Abstract: Pedestrian trajectory prediction plays a crucial role in autonomous driving, as its accuracy directly affects the autonomous driving system’s comprehension of the environment and subsequent decision-making processes. Current trajectory prediction methods tend to oversimplify pedestrians to mere point coordinates, utilizing positional information to infer interactions among individuals while overlooking the temporal correlations between them, thereby excessively simplifying pedestrian characteristics. To address the aforementioned issues, this paper proposes a trajectory prediction model for autonomous driving applications, that takes into account both pedestrian motion characteristics and scene interaction. The model optimizes the LSTM unit structure twice, serving to learn correlations among long …trajectories of pedestrians and to integrate multiple forms of information into the neighborhood interaction module. Furthermore, our model introduces dual attention mechanisms for individuals and scenes, focusing on the key motion points of individual pedestrians and their interactive behavior with others in busy scenarios. The efficacy of the model was validated on the MOT16 pedestrian dataset and the Daimler pedestrian path prediction dataset, outperforming mainstream methods with 8% and 10% reductions in Average Displacement Error and Final Displacement Error respectively.

Abstract: In order to enhance the accuracy and reliability of fault diagnosis in chemical processes, this paper proposes a methodology for chemical process fault diagnosis based on an improved SE-ResNet-BiGRU neural network. Initially, the ResNet model is enhanced by incorporating the SENet mechanism, enabling the extraction of features from input data and selectively enhancing them, thereby strengthening the model’s ability to capture crucial features. Subsequently, the BiGRU model is employed to perform temporal modeling on the extracted features, allowing for better capture of dynamic changes in fault signals. In order to validate the effectiveness of this approach, experiments are conducted using …the TE chemical process dataset. The results are analyzed using methods such as ROC-AUC, confusion matrix, and t-SNE visualization. The improved SE-ResNet-BiGRU model achieves a testing accuracy of 97.78% and an average fault diagnosis rate of 97.24%. Compared to other deep learning methods, this methodology exhibits significant improvements in fault diagnosis rate and reliability. It holds promising potential as an essential tool for fault diagnosis in chemical processes, contributing to enhanced production safety, efficiency, and reduced risk of accidents. Show more

Abstract: Spherical q-linear Diophantine fuzzy sets (Sq-LDFSs) showed a significant improvement to handling uncertainty in multi-criteria decision-making (MADM). It is advantageous for two-parametric data as well as for data with three variable parameters. One of the most crucial functions of supply chain management is to increase competitive pressure. The study’s standout innovation, Multi-Attributive Ideal Real Comparative Analysis (MAIRCA), has been implemented to give powerful group decision-making. An ecological perspective is becoming more prevalent due to the competitive climate and customer perception. Green supplier selection (GSS) has become a significant issue. In this study, we address the problem of GSS, which aims …for flexibility, robustness, ecological sensitivity, leanness, and feasibility. The feasibility criteria in recycling, environmental, carbon footprints, and water consumption are different from those in standard supplier selection. The aim of our work is to introduced the weighted Average/Geometric aggregation operators based on Sq-LDFSs. For this we defined some operational rules as a foundation of aggregation operators. Secondly we proposed a MAIRCA approach for Sq-LDFSs to address these issues. The MAIRCA strategy, which uses multi-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) to evaluate and choose traditional and environmental conventionalities, is used to reduce instability and ambiguity. The spherical q-linear Diophantine fuzzy MAIRCA approach provides comparative analysis of decision-makers and criteria. By merging Sq-LDFS and MAIRCA, a hybrid strategy is formed, successfully selecting the best provider among options based on the order of significance. These numerical examples demonstrate the suggested MCGDM approaches that were applied in actual situations, giving a realistic appreciation of their efficacy. The comparative study of the final ranking further supports the idea that these strategies are dependable in decision-making processes in addition to being practical and usable. Show more

Abstract: The similarity measure of intuitionistic fuzzy sets is a primary method for dealing with uncertainty and fuzzy problems and is commonly used in fuzzy decision-making and pattern recognition. The current mainstream similarity measure is based on the classical fuzzy set with only one negation, which often violates the intuitionistic problem in applications because the actual semantics of multiple negations are not considered. To solve the inconsistency and irrationality problems in the classical similarity methods, we introduce three negations (contradiction negation, opposition negation, and mediation negation) in the intuitionistic fuzzy set to obtain the generalized intuitionistic fuzzy set and prove its …related property theorem. On this basis, our similarity measure adopts a mediational negation to represent non-membership, which fully utilizes the multiple negation information of non-membership and hesitancy and avoids the loss of fuzzy information. We verify the method’s rationality, validity, and originality through pattern recognition experiments and numerical examples, which improves the performance of intuitionistic fuzzy set similarity in practical applications and provides a new approach for future research on intuitionistic fuzzy inference.

Abstract: Artificial intelligence has played a significant role in the expansion of the agriculture industry in recent times by evaluating data and making recommendations for better production. An automated method for determining significant information in seed quality analysis is the peanut maturity analysis in image processing through sensory images. The majority of the time, changes in picture intensity result in feature independence and precise maturity level determination. Therefore, agricultural precision in identifying essential features is low. To address this issue, we suggest employing a Cross-Layer Multi-Perception Neural Network (CLMPNN) for hyperspectral sensory image feature observation in order to determine the optimal …assessment of peanut maturity in agriculture. The sensing unit first determines the angular cascade projection’s (ACP) structural dependencies for the peanut pod structure. With the aid of color-intensive saturation, the entity projection of pod growth is found using the Slicing Fragment Segmentation (SFS) technique. This generates the various entity variations by integrating relational maturity and non-maturity findings with spectral values. Next, cross-layer multi-perception neural networks are trained with hyperspectral values optimized by LSTM to distinguish between mature and immature pods. In comparison to the other system, this one does exceptionally well in precision agriculture, with a 98.6 well recall rate, a 97.3% classification accuracy, and a 98.9% production accuracy. Show more

Abstract: The rapier loom works in a complex environment and operates at high speeds. It is inevitable that its performance will deteriorate during the production process, which in turn will cause faults. The development of maintenance has undergone the transition from “regular maintenance” and “post-event maintenance” to “predictive maintenance”. In order to achieve the synergistic optimization goal of ensuring operational safety and reducing operational costs, a predictive maintenance method driven by the fusion of digital twin and deep learning is proposed based on the idea of “combining the real with the virtual and controlling the real”. Firstly, a digital twin system …structure model of rapier weaving machine is constructed, and the overall architecture of digital twin is proposed according to the full operation cycle of rapier weaving machine. Then, the digital twin-driven process parameter evaluation and prediction and health state evaluation and prediction are investigated separately. In order to achieve the evaluation and prediction of process parameters to ensure the efficiency of weaving machine operation, the prediction method of IWOA optimized BP neural network driven by twin data is proposed and the model is updated and optimized based on the martingale distance approach. In order to achieve health state assessment and prediction, we use health index as an evaluation index to characterize the health condition of spindles, and use BiLSTM network to achieve prediction of remaining spindle life and then make maintenance decisions. The results show that there are greater advantages to combining deep learning and digital twin technology for intelligent predictive maintenance of rapier loom. Show more

Abstract: Facial expression recognition has long been an area of great interest across a wide range of fields. Deep learning is commonly employed in facial expression recognition and demonstrates excellent performance in large-sample classification tasks. However, deep learning models often encounter challenges when confronted with small-sample expression classification problems, as they struggle to extract sufficient relevant features from limited data, resulting in subpar performance. This paper presents a novel approach called the Multi-CNN Logical Reasoning System, which is based on local area recognition and logical reasoning. It initiates the process by partitioning facial expression images into two distinct components: eye action …and mouth action. Subsequently, it utilizes logical reasoning based on the inherent relationship between local actions and global expressions to facilitate facial expression recognition. Throughout the reasoning process, it not only incorporates manually curated knowledge but also acquires hidden knowledge from the raw data. Experimental results conducted on two small-sample datasets derived from the KDEF and RaFD datasets demonstrate that the proposed approach exhibits faster convergence and higher prediction accuracy when compared to classical deep learning-based algorithms.

Abstract: Pedestrian detection plays a crucial role in ensuring traffic safety within the domain of computer vision. However, accurately detecting pedestrians in complex environments proves to be a challenge due to issues such as occlusion. To address this issue, this paper presents an end-to-end pedestrian detection model founded on the DEtection TRansformer (DETR) architecture, effectively managing occlusion scenarios. The proposed model comprises a backbone Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and a Transformer network. The backbone CNN incorporates variable convolution and U-Net design principles to enhance feature extraction capabilities, particularly for occluded pedestrians. Additionally, our innovative Adaptive Occlusion-Aware Attention Mechanism (AOAM) is embedded …within the Transformer network, allowing the model to dynamically adjust attention weights and enhance the localization and identification of occluded pedestrians. Extensive experiments on the Caltech and ETH datasets demonstrate the superior performance of our model compared to state-of-the-art approaches across four key evaluation metrics. This study provides effective methodologies and theoretical foundations for pedestrian detection in complex environments. Show more

Abstract: To address the issue of unknown expert and attribute weights in the comprehensive assessment of hospitals, as well as the potential challenges posed by distance measures, this paper presents a probabilistic language multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) approach that utilizes correlation coefficients and improved entropy. First, the correlation function, called the probabilistic linguistic correlation coefficient, is introduced into the probabilistic linguistic term set(PLTS) to measure the consistency among experts, so as to obtain the weights of experts. Next, based on Shannon entropy, an improved probabilistic linguistic entropy is proposed to measure the uncertainty of PLTS considering the number of alternatives and …information quantity. Then, based on the correlation coefficient and improved entropy, the attribute weights are obtained. In addition, in order to overcome the counter-intuitive problem of existing distance measurement, this paper proposes a probabilistic language distance measurement method based on the Bray-Curtis distance to measure the differences between PLTSs. On this basis, by applying the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) method and using PLTSs to construct the MAGDM method, the ranking of alternative schemes is generated. Finally, the improved MAGDM method is applied to an example of the comprehensive evaluation of the smart medical hospitals. The results show that compared with the existing methods, this method can determine the weight information more reasonably, and the decision-making results are not counter-intuitive, so it can evaluate the hospital more objectively.

Abstract: The notion of a T-bipolar soft set (T - BS ft S ) is the structure that has the ability to discuss the two-sided aspects of certain situations like the effects and side effects of a medicine. Moreover, T - BS ft S has the ability to discuss the parametrization tool as well. Also, notice that a group is an algebraic structure that is the key tool in many branches of mathematics. In many decision-making situations, we have to discuss the two-sided aspects of a certain situation and we can see that T - BS ft S is …the only structure that can handle it. So based on a characteristic of T - BS ft S and groups theory there is a need to define the combined notion of T - BS ft S and group. So, based on these valuable structures, in this manuscript, we aim to introduce the notion of T-bipolar soft groups by generalizing T-bipolar soft sets. Based on this newly defined structure, we have defined the basic operational laws like extended union, extended intersection, restricted union, restricted intersection, AND product, and OR product for T-bipolar soft groups. Moreover, we have observed the impact of these newly defined notions on T-bipolar soft groups. Show more

Abstract: The medical domain faces unique challenges in Information Retrieval (IR) due to the complexity of medical language and terminology discrepancies between user queries and documents. While traditional Keyword-Based Methods (KBM) have limitations, the integration of semantic knowledge bases and concept mapping techniques enhances data organization and retrieval. Addressing the growing demands in the biomedical field, a novel medical Information Retrieval System (IRS) is proposed that employs Deep Learning (DL) and KBM. This system comprises five core steps: pre-processing of texts, document indexing using DL (ELMo) and KBM, advanced query processing, a BiLSTM-based retrieval network for contextual representation, and a KR-R …re-ranking algorithm to refine document relevance. The purpose of the system is to give users improved biomedical search results through the integration of all of these techniques into a method that takes into consideration the semantic problems of medical records. An in-depth examination of the TREC-PM track samples from 2017 to 2019 observed an impressive leading MRR score of 0.605 in 2017 and a best-in-class rPrec score of 0.350 in 2019, proving how well able the system is to detect and rank relevant medical records accurately.

Abstract: Over the past several decades, several air pollution prevention measures have been developed in response to the growing concern over air pollution. Using models to anticipate air pollution accurately aids in the timely prevention and management of air pollution. However, the spatial-temporal air quality aspects were not properly taken into account during the prior model construction. In this study, the distance correlation coefficient (DC) between measurements made in various monitoring stations is used to identify appropriate correlated monitoring stations. To derive spatial-temporal correlations for modeling, the causality relationship between measurements made in various monitoring stations is analyzed using Transfer Entropy …(TE). This work explores the process of identifying a piecewise affine (PWA) model using a larger dataset and suggests a unique hierarchical clustering-based identification technique with model structure selection. This work improves the BIRCH (Balanced Iterative Reducing and Clustering using Hierarchies) by introducing Kullback-Leibler (KL) Divergence as the dissimilarity between clusters for handling clusters with arbitrary shapes. The number of clusters is automatically determined using a cluster validity metric. The task is formulated as a sparse optimization problem, and the model structure is selected using parameter estimations. Beijing air quality data is used to demonstrate the method, and the results show that the proposed strategy may produce acceptable forecast performance. Show more

Abstract: Social recommendations enhance the quality of recommendations by integrating social network information. Existing methods predominantly rely on pairwise relationships to uncover potential user preferences. However, they usually overlook the exploration of higher-order user relations. Moreover, because social relation graphs often exhibit scale-free graph structures, directly embedding them in Euclidean space will lead to significant distortion. To this end, we propose a novel graph neural network framework with hypergraph and hyperbolic embedding learning, namely HMGCN. Specifically, we first construct hypergraphs over user-item interactions and social networks, and then perform graph convolution on the hypergraphs. At the same time, a multi-channel setting …is employed in the convolutional network, with each channel encoding its corresponding hypergraph to capture different high-order user relation patterns. In addition, we feed the item embeddings and the obtained high-order user embeddings into a hyperbolic graph convolutional network to extract user and item representations, enabling the model to better capture the hierarchical structure of their complex relationships. Experimental results on three public datasets, namely FilmTrust, LastFM, and Yelp, demonstrate that the model achieves more comprehensive user and item representations, more accurate fitting and processing of graph data, and effectively addresses the issues of insufficient user relationship extraction and data embedding distortion in social recommendation models.

Abstract: The drilling permanent magnet synchronous motor (DPMSM) contains multiple subsystems with identical structures and has a high probability of failure because the downhole working conditions are harsh. Therefore, the quick localization of faults is difficult to determine although the fault type may be identified in time. The system diagnostic model based on the Bayesian network (BN) can be used for fault diagnosis and localization for components in subsystems, but it is difficult to build and modify due to the complex system in practice. New methods are necessary to reduce the difficulty of building and modifying models. In this study, object-oriented …ideas are introduced into the BN to establish a system diagnostic model based on an Object-oriented Bayesian network (OOBN) for the DPMSM. First, the fault diagnostic models for subsystems based on BN are established, respectively. Then, submodels of forward and backward based on BN are instantiated as instance nodes. Next, instance nodes are connected through input nodes and output nodes to establish the OOBN-based system diagnosis model. Finally, the system diagnosis model is validated by sensitivity analysis and the effectiveness is discussed in Cases. The system diagnosis model can effectively reduce the difficulties of modeling and modifying. Show more

Abstract: Traditional multi-label feature selection is usually performed under the condition of given label information, but nowadays, labeling multi-label data is a huge project, which is both time-consuming and labor-intensive, but if there is no label information condition, it will lead to poor feature selection, in order to solve this problem, this paper proposes a new semi-supervised multi-label feature selection method, i.e., semi-supervised multi-label feature selection algorithm based on dual dynamic graph. In this paper, a semi-supervised multi-label feature selection algorithm is proposed by constructing a dual dynamic graph. First, the method selects the most discriminative features for dimensionality reduction through …the feature selection method of least squares regression, combined with the redundancy penalty of highly correlated features. Second, the label information is added to the construction of sample matrix similarity to learn the similarity. A semi-supervised multi-label feature selection framework is constructed by designing iterative updates of dual dynamic graphs to learn more accurate pseudo-label matrices to guide feature selection. Finally, the paper validates the above model using the alternating iteration optimization algorithm and verifies the effectiveness of the algorithm through experiments. Show more

Abstract: Supplier selection is a very crucial process within a business or commercial enterprise because it depends upon different components like reliability, customer need, services, cost and reputation. A suitable supplier is familiar with developing a relationship between customer needs and business. To serve this purpose, the multiple attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) technique is a well-known and efficient aggregation model used to evaluate flexible optimal options by considering some appropriate criteria or attributes. Experts face some sophisticated challenges during the decision-making process due to uncertain and ambiguous information about human opinions. To address such conditions, we explore the notion of spherical …fuzzy sets (SFS) and their reliable operations. Some flexible operational laws of Dombi t-norms are also developed in light of spherical fuzzy (SF) information. Combining the theory of Hamy mean (HM) models and Dombi aggregation tools, some robust strategies are also studied in this research work. The main objectives of this article are to propose some dominant strategies in the presence of SF information including spherical fuzzy Dombi Hamy mean (SFDHM), spherical fuzzy Dombi weighted Hamy mean (SFDWHM), spherical fuzzy Dombi Dual Hamy mean (SFDDHM) and spherical fuzzy Dombi weighted Dual Hamy mean (SFDWDHM) operators. The MAGDM techniques are utilized to evaluate the flexibility of our derived methodologies under considering SF information. An experimental case study is utilized to evaluate a notable supplier enterprise under consideration of our developed methodologies. Finally, a comprehensive overview of our research work is also presented. Show more

Abstract: Symptom-based disease identification is crucial to the diagnosis of the disease at the early stage. Usage of traditional stacking and blending models i.e., with default values of the models cannot handle the multi-classification data properly. Some of the existing researchers also implemented tuning with the help of a grid search approach but it consumes more time because it checks all the possible combinations. Suppose if the model has n estimators with k values it needs to check (n*k)! elements combination, this makes the learning time high. The proposed model chooses the estimators to train the model with in a considerable …amount of time using an advanced tuning technique known as “Bayes-Search” on an ensemble random forest and traditional, support vector machine. The advantage of this model is its capability to store the best evaluation metrics from the previous model and utilise them to store the new model. This model chooses the values of the estimator based on the probability of selection, which reduces the elements in search space i.e., (< (n-k)!). The proposed model defines the objective function with a minimum error rate and predicts the error rate with the selected estimators for different distributions. The model depending on the predicted value decides whether to store the value or to return the value to the optimizer. The Bayes search optimization has achieved +9.21% accuracy than the grid search approach. Among the two approaches random forest has achieved good accuracy and less loss using Bayes search with cross-validation. Show more

Abstract: Traditional fault detection methods in acoustic signal feature extraction of rolling bearings often make the signal denoising process complex due to low signal-to-noise ratio and weak fault features, making this method difficult to meet real-time requirements. Therefore, a fault detection model based on Fast-Renoriented SIFT feature extraction is proposed, which can quickly extract a large number of features from the original signal without the need for noise reduction processing and can effectively improve the efficiency and accuracy of fault detection. At the same time, to adapt to the fault detection of rolling bearings under multiple working conditions, this study also …proposes an adaptive extended word bag model that combines local kurtosis and local 2-dimensional information entropy features, improving the adaptability and flexibility of the new model. It obtained a 100% overall recognition rate and a fault detection time of no more than 0.5 seconds in a 5-fold cross-validation experiment, verifying the excellent recognition accuracy, stability, and operational efficiency of the detection model. Its recognition accuracy in the multi-working condition rolling bearing fault detection experiment was above 97%, which was improved by about 21.25% compared to the traditional word bag model and had significant advantages in fault recognition accuracy and computational efficiency.

Abstract: Quasi-Affine Transformation Evolutionary (QUATRE) algorithm is a kind of swarm-based collaborative optimization algorithm that solves the problem of a position deviation in a DE search by using the co-evolution matrix M instead of the cross-control parameter CR in the differential evolution algorithm (DE). However, QUATRE shares some of the same weaknesses as DE, such as premature convergence and search stagnation. Inspired by the artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC), we propose a new QUATRE algorithm to improve these problems that ranks all the individuals and evolves only the poorer half of the population. In an evolving population, individuals of …different levels intersect with dimensions of different sizes to improve search efficiency and accuracy. In addition, we establish a better selection framework for the parent generation individuals and select more excellent parent individuals to complete the evolution for the individuals trapped in search stagnation. To verify the performance of the new QUATRE algorithm, we divide the comparison algorithm into three groups, including ABC variant group, DE variant group, and QUATRE variant group, and the CEC2014 test suite is used for the comparison. The experimental results show the new QUATRE algorithm performance is competitive. We also successfully apply the new QUATRE algorithm on the 3D path planning of UAV, and compared with the other famous algorithm performance it is still outstanding, which verifies the algorithm’s practicability.

Abstract: Human pose recognition from videotapes has become an emerging research topic for tracking human movements. The objective of this work is to develop a deep multimodal Spatio-Temporal Harris Hawk Optimized Pose Recognition (STHHO-PR) framework for self-learning fitness exercises. The presented STHHO-PR framework uses audio modality and visual modality to classify the different poses. In audio modality, the VGG-16 network paradigm is used to extract the audio traits for fitness pose recognition. In visual modality, Harris Hawks Optimization (HHO) along with the Minimum Cross Entropy (MCE) method is employed to find out the optimum threshold values for body parts segmentation. These …segmented body parts highlight the human joint points that are connected through the skeletonization process to extract the skeletal information. The extracted spatio-temporal features from audio modality and visual modality are optimally fused and used in the classification process. Weighted Majority Voting Ensemble (WMVE) classifier is adopted to build the classification model. This work is experimented with yoga videos acquired from publicly available datasets. The results show that the presented STHHO-PR framework outperforms other state-of-art procedures in terms of prediction accuracy. Show more

The major problem in gearbox is catastrophic failure due to heavy loads, corrosion and erosion, results in economic loss and creates high safety risks. So, it is necessary to provide condition monitoring technique to detect and diagnose failures, to achieve cost benefits to industry. The main purpose of this study to use Machine Learning (ML) algorithms and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) which are very powerful and reliable tool for fault detection and …its most important attribute is its ability to efficiently detect non-stationary, non-periodic, transient features of the vibration signal. To do the vibration study, an experimental setup was created, and various faults were induced faults of various kinds that usually occurred in the gearbox. The gear in the gear train was subjected to vibration analysis which was captured via a sensor. Signal processing was carried out using MATLAB Toolbox. To automatically identify the flaws in the helical gearbox, an artificial neural network (ANN) and several machines learning methods, including KNN, decision tree, random forest, and SMV, were trained by creating a database from the experiment conducted. The outcomes showed potential in accurately classifying the faults.

Abstract: Although facial expression recognition (FER) has a wide range of applications, it may be difficult to achieve under local occlusion conditions which may result in the loss of valuable expression features. This issue has motivated the present study, as a part of which an effective multi-feature cross-attention network (MFCA-Net) is proposed. The MFCA-Net consists of a two-branch network comprising a multi-feature convolution module and a local cross-attention module. Thus, it enables decomposition of facial features into multiple sub-features by the multi-feature convolution module to reduce the impact of local occlusion on facial expression feature extraction. In the next step, the …local cross-attention module distinguishes between occluded and unoccluded sub-features and focuses on the latter to facilitate FER. When the MFCA-Net performance is evaluated by applying it to three public large-scale datasets (RAF-DB, FERPlus, and AffectNet), the experimental results confirm its good robustness. Further validation is performed on a real FER dataset with local occlusion of the face. Show more

Abstract: As more people express their thoughts on products on various online shopping platforms, the feelings expressed in these opinions are becoming a significant source of information for marketers and buyers. These opinions have a big impact on consumers’ decision to buy the best quality product. When there are too many features or a small number of records to analyze, the decision-making process gets difficult. A recent stream of study has used the conventional quantitative star score ratings and textual content reviews in this context. In this research, a decision-making framework is proposed that relies on feature-based opinions to analyze the …textual content of reviews and classify buyer’s opinions, thereby assisting consumers in making long-term purchases. The framework is proposed in this paper for product purchase decision making based on feature-based opinions and deep learning. Framework consists of four components: i) Pre-processing, ii) Feature extraction, iii) Feature-based opinion classification, and iv) Decision-making. Web scraping is used to obtain the dataset of Smartphone reviews, which is subsequently clean and pre-processed using tokenization and POS tagging. From the tagged dataset, noun labeled words are retrieved, and then the probable product’s features are extracted. These feature-based sentences or reviews are processed using a word embedding to generate review vectors that identify contextual information. These word vectors are used to construct hidden vectors at the word and sentence levels using a hierarchical attention method. With respect to each feature, reviews are divided into five classes: extremely positive, positive, extremely negative, negative, and neutral. The proposed method may readily detect a customer’s opinion on the quality of a product based on a certain attribute, which is beneficial in making a purchase choice. Show more

Abstract: Panchromatic and multi-spectral image fusion, called panchromatic sharpening, is the process of combining the spatial and spectral information of the source image into the fused image to give the image a higher spatial and spectral resolution. In order to improve the spatial resolution and spectral information quality of the image, an adaptive multi-spectral image fusion method based on an improved arithmetic optimization algorithm is proposed. This paper proposed improved arithmetic optimization algorithm, which uses dynamic stochastic search technique and oppositional learning operator, to perform local search and behavioral complementation of population individuals, and to improve the ability of population individuals …to jump out of the local optimum. The method combines adaptive methods to calculate the weights of linear combinations of panchromatic and multi-spectral gradients to improve the quality of fused images. This study not only improves the quality and effect of image fusion, but also focuses on optimizing the operation efficiency of the algorithm to have real-time and high efficiency. Experimental results show that the proposed method exhibits strong performance on different datasets, improves the spatial resolution and spectral information quality of the fused images, and has good adaptability and robustness.

Abstract: Under the influence of the coronavirus disease and other factors, agricultural product prices show non-stationary and non-linear characteristics, making it increasingly difficult to forecast accurately. This paper proposes an innovative combinatorial model for Chinese hog price forecasting. First, the price is decomposed using the Seasonal and Trend decomposition using the Loess (STL) model. Next, the decomposed data are trained with the Long Short-term Memory (LSTM) and Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) models. Finally, the prepared data and the multivariate influence factors after Factor analysis are predicted using the gated recurrent neural network and attention mechanisms (AttGRU) to obtain the …final prediction values. Compared with other models, the STL-FA-AttGRU model produced the lowest errors and achieved more accurate forecasts of hog prices. Therefore, the model proposed in this paper has the potential for other price forecasting, contributing to the development of precision and sustainable agriculture. Show more

Abstract: Although natural language processing (NLP) refers to a process involving the development of algorithms or computational models that empower machines to understand, interpret, and generate human language, machines are still unable to fully grasp the meanings behind words. Specifically, they cannot assist humans in categorizing words with general or technical purposes without predefined standards or baselines. Empirically, prior researches have relied on inefficient manual tasks to exclude these words when extracting technical words (i.e., terminology or terms used within a specific field or domain of expertise) for obtaining domain information from the target corpus. Therefore, to enhance the efficiency of …extracting domain-oriented technical words in corpus analysis, this paper proposes a machine-based corpus optimization method that compiles an advanced general-purpose word list (AGWL) to serve as the exclusion baseline for the machine to extract domain-oriented technical words. To validate the proposed method, this paper utilizes 52 COVID-19 research articles as the target corpus and an empirical example. After compared to traditional methods, the proposed method offers significant contributions: (1) it can automatically eliminate the most common function words in corpus data; (2) through a machine-driven process, it removes general-purpose words with high frequency and dispersion rates –57% of word types belonging to general-purpose words, constituting 90% of the total words in the target corpus. This results in 43% of word types representing domain-oriented technical words that makes up 10% of the total words in the target corpus are able to be extracted. This allows future researchers to focus exclusively on the remaining 43% of word types in the optimized word list (OWL), enhancing the efficiency of corpus analysis for extracting domain knowledge. (3) The proposed method establishes a set of standard operation procedure (SOP) that can be duplicated and generally applied to optimize any corpus data. Show more

Abstract: When providing patient care, healthcare professionals often rely on interpreting laboratory and clinical test results. However, their analysis is constrained by human capacity, leading to uncertainties in diagnoses. Machine learning has the potential to evaluate a larger amount of data and identify patterns and relationships that may otherwise go unnoticed. However, popular machine learning algorithms typically require abundant and labeled data, which is not always available. To address this challenge, the adoption of active learning allows for the selection of the most relevant instances for training, reducing the need for extensive labeling. Additionally, fuzzy logic offers the ability to handle …uncertainties. This paper proposes a novel approach that utilizes fuzzy membership functions to transform data as a pre-processing step for active learning. The objective is to approximate similar instances, specifically for the purpose of prediction, thereby minimizing the workload of human experts in labeling data for model training. The results of this study demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach in predicting heart disease and highlight the potential of using membership functions to enhance machine learning models in the analysis of medical information. By incorporating fuzzy logic and active learning, healthcare professionals can benefit from improved accuracy and efficiency in diagnosing and predicting pacients’ health conditions. Show more

Abstract: In order to ensure the safety of life and property in large buildings, the design of emergency evacuation routes for large buildings based on cloud computing and GIS big data is studied. Combining cloud computing and GIS big data, a command model for emergency evacuation of large buildings is built. Emergency evacuation functions are realized through the access layer, business logic layer, cloud computing layer and data layer. GIS big data of large buildings is stored in the model data layer. GIS geographic data is clustered through the MapReduce based parallel K-means clustering algorithm in the cloud computing layer. After …clustering, the emergency evacuation road network of large buildings is constructed through GIS in the business logic layer. On the road network, the emergency evacuation route selection method combining Dikstra algorithm and ant colony algorithm is used to realize the optimal route selection of emergency evacuation of large buildings. Experiments show that this method can effectively select the best evacuation path in large buildings, and the evacuation speed of the selected path is fast, which can ensure the safety of people in buildings.

Abstract: In many real production scenarios, departmental organizations often exhibit a hierarchical structure, where departments cooperate with subordinate departments to optimize resource allocation and maximize their respective benefits. However, due to a lack of information or data, many model parameters in the allocation process cannot be precisely defined. In response to this challenge, an interval n -person hierarchical resource allocation model is proposed to achieve maximum economic benefit in uncertain environments. Based on the concepts of satisfactory degrees of comparing intervals and interval-valued cores of interval-valued n -person cooperative games, an auxiliary nonlinear programming model and method are developed to solve …the interval-valued cores of such cooperative games. The approach explicitly considers the inclusion and/or overlap relations between intervals, whereas the traditional interval ranking method may not guarantee the existence of interval-valued cores. The proposed method offers cooperative opportunities under uncertain conditions. Finally, the feasibility and applicability of the models and methods are demonstrated through a numerical example and comparison with other methods. Show more

Abstract: This paper discusses the use of an improved random forest regression algorithm (RFRA) to predict the total score of powerlifters. The paper collected the age, weight, and total score of multiple powerlifters, and then used an improved RFRA to build a predictive model. The parameters of this model are optimized by a differential squirrel search algorithm. The experimental results show that our proposed method can effectively predict the total score of powerlifters with an error of less than 10%, which can provide a reference for experts and athletes before training or competition.

Abstract: The reliability of machine tool components, particularly the tool magazine manipulator, significantly affects the overall performance of the machine tool. To address the challenge of accurately evaluating the manipulator’s health status using a single performance indicator, this study proposes a method that combines Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation (FCE) and a Combined Weighting Method (CWM). By considering both subjective and objective factors, this method provides a comprehensive evaluation of the manipulator’s health status, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of the assessment. The method utilizes fuzzy distribution to construct membership matrices for different health levels and adopts the CWM that combines the Entropy …Weight Method (EWM) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to determine the combined weights of the health evaluation indices. This approach improves the accuracy and reliability by considering multiple indicators and objectively weighting them based on their importance. The current health status of the manipulator is evaluated using the fuzzy weighted average operator and the maximum membership principle. Moreover, a fault prediction method based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and GM(1,1) is proposed to overcome the information gap and small sample problems. The proposed model’s prediction accuracy is verified by comparing it with other models, demonstrating its effectiveness and reliability. Show more

Abstract: Vehicle safety on roadsides is vital for preventing collisions, controlling failures and accidents, and ensuring driver and passenger wellness. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in vehicle safety relies on the vehicle’s physical attributes for predicting and preventing collisions. This article introduces a Differential FEA (DFEA) model for predicting vehicle collisions regardless of the speed and direction for driver/ passenger safety. The proposed model induces a vehicle’s speed, direction, and displacement from two perspectives: self and approaching vehicle. The collision probability with the trailing or persuading vehicle is calculated by distinguishing the forward and rear features. The differential calculus for the point …of deviation and distance metrics are significantly estimated for a vehicle’s front and rear ends. Such calculus generates a maximum and minimum possibility for self and approaching vehicle contact. This contact is further split based on the collision threshold; the threshold is determined using the safe distance between two vehicles for collision-less driving. The threshold exceeding vehicles are alerted for their change in direction/ speed through contact point (rear/front) differential derivatives. This ensures collision detection under fewer contact errors, leveraging the safety of the duo vehicles. Show more

Abstract: A common cardiovascular illness with high fatality rates is coronary artery disease (CAD). Researchers have been exploring alternative methods to diagnose and assess the severity of CAD that are less invasive, cost-effective, and utilize noninvasive clinical data. Machine learning algorithms have shown promising and potential results. Accordingly, this study focuses on assisting medical practitioners with CAD detection by using a hybrid classification system combining XGBoost and Adam optimization. The primary approach incorporates One-Hot encoding to transform categorical attributes within the dataset, enhancing the precision of predictions. The secondary approach constitutes a hybrid classification model integrating XGBoost and employing Adam optimizations …for CAD detections. The efficacy of the recommended method is assessed using the cleveland, Hungarian, and Statlog heart-disease data sets. The proposed system and the standard Grid and Random Search classifiers are compared. The experimental outcomes indicate that the suggested model achieves a notable prediction accuracy of 94.19%. This represents an improvement of 7 to 8% over the existing grid search algorithm and 2 to 3% improvement over the random search algorithm for the above all datasets. Hence, the proposed system can be a valuable tool for identifying CAD patients, offering enhanced prediction accuracy. Show more

Abstract: In addition to providing learners with a large amount of teaching resources, online teaching platforms can also provide learning resources and channels such as video courseware, Q&A tutoring groups, and forums. However, currently, there are still shortcomings in depth and dimensionality in mining student learning behavior data on the platform. In view of this situation, based on the learning interaction behavior, this study established the difficulty similarity model of knowledge points, and used spectral clustering to classify their difficulty. In addition, the study intended to use the maximum frequent subgraph under the Gspan framework to characterize learners’ implicit learning patterns. …The outcomes expressed that the algorithm put forward in the study achieved the highest accuracy index of 98.8%, which was 1.4%, 4.0%, and 8.6% higher than Apriori-based graph mining algorithms, K-means, and frequent subgraph discovery algorithms. In terms of F1 index, the convergence value of the algorithm proposed in the study was 95.5%, which was about 2.5% higher than the last three algorithms. In addition, learners of all three cognitive levels had the highest maximum number of frequent subgraphs with sizes above 100 when the minSup value was 60%. And when the number of clusters was 3, the clustering accuracy of the three learners was the highest. In similarity calculation, the calculation method used in the study was at the minimum in terms of root mean square error and absolute error average index, which were 0.048% and 0.01% respectively. This indicated that the model proposed by the research had better classification effect on the difficulty of knowledge points for learners of different cognitive levels, and had certain application potential.
