Abstract: This research focuses on Scene Text Recognition (STR), a crucial component in various applications of artificial intelligence such as image retrieval, office automation, and intelligent traffic systems. Recent studies have shown that semantic-aware approaches significantly improve the performance of STR tasks, with context-aware STR methods becoming mainstream. Among these, the fusion of visual and language models has shown remarkable effectiveness. We propose a novel method (PABINet) that incorporates three key components: a Visual-Language Decoder, a Language Model, and a Fusion Model. First, during training, the Visual-Language Decoder masks the original labels in the Transformer decoder using permutation masks, with each …mask being unique. This enhances word memorization and learning through contextual semantic information, resulting in robust semantic knowledge. During the inference stage, the Visual-Language Decoder employs autonomous Autoregressive model (AR) inference to generate results. Subsequently, the Language Model scrutinizes and corrects the output of the Visual-Language Encoder using a cloze mask approach, achieving context-aware, autonomous, bidirectional inference. Finally, the Fusion Model concatenates and refines the outputs of both models through iterative layers.Experimental results demonstrate that our PABINet performs exceptionally well when handling various quality images. When trained with synthetic data, PABINet achieves a new STR benchmark (average accuracy of 92.41%), and when trained with real data, it establishes new state-of-the-art results (average accuracy of 96.28%).

Abstract: In today’s digital era, the security of sensitive data such as Aadhaar data is of utmost importance. To ensure the privacy and integrity of this data, a conceptual framework is proposed that employs the Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol and Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC) to enhance the security. The proposed system begins with the preprocessing phase, which includes removing noise, standardizing formats and validating the integrity of the data. Next, the data is segmented into appropriate sections to enable efficient storage and retrieval in the cloud. Each segment is further processed to extract meaningful features, ensuring that the relevant information …is preserved while reducing the risk of unauthorized access. For safeguarding the stored Aadhaar data, the system employs the Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol which allows the data owner and the cloud service provider to establish a shared secret key without exposing it to potential attackers. Additionally, HMAC is implemented to verify the identity of users during the login process. HMAC enhances security by leveraging cryptographic hash functions and a shared secret key to produce a distinct code for each login attempt. This mechanism effectively protects the confidentiality and integrity of stored data. The combination of Diffie-Hellman key exchange and HMAC authentication provides a robust security framework for Aadhaar data. It ensures that the data remains encrypted and inaccessible without the secret key, while also verifying the identity of users during the login process. This comprehensive approach helps preventing unauthorized access thereby protecting against potential attacks, instilling trust and confidence in the security of Aadhaar data stored in the cloud. Results of the article depict that the proposed scheme achieve 0.19 s of encryption time and 0.05 s of decryption time. Show more

Abstract: There are limitations of personalization in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) that have a serious impact on driver acceptance and satisfaction. This study investigates driving style recognition method to achieve personalization of longitudinal driving behavior. Currently, driving style recognition algorithms for Personalized Adaptive Cruise Control (PACC) rely on integrated recognition. However, disturbances in the driving cycle may lead to changes in a driver’s integrated driving style. Therefore, the integrated driving style cannot accurately and comprehensively reflect the driver’s driving style. To solve this problem, a new driving style recognition method for PACC is proposed, which considers integrated driving style and …driving cycle. Firstly, the method calculates the constructed feature parameters of driving cycle and style, and then reduces the dimensionality of the feature parameter matrix by principal component analysis (PCA). Secondly, a two-stage clustering algorithm with self-organizing mapping networks and K-means clustering (SOM-K-means) is used to obtain the type labels. Then, a transient recognition model based on random forest (RF) is established and the hyperparameters of this model are optimized by sparrow search algorithm (SSA). Based on this, a comprehensive driving style recognition model is established using analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Finally, the validity of the proposed method is verified by a natural dataset. The method incorporates the driving cycle into driving style recognition and provides guidance for improving the personalization of adaptive cruise control system. Show more

Abstract: Distributed flexible flowshop scheduling is getting more important in the large-scale panel furniture industry. It is vital for a higher manufacturing efficiency and economic profit. The distributed scheduling problem with lot-streaming in a flexible flow shop environment is investigated in this work. Furthermore, the actual constraints of packaging collaborative and machine setup times are considered in the proposed approach. The average order waiting time for packaging and average order delay rate is used as objectives. Non-dominated sorting method is used to handle this bi-objective optimization problem. An improved encoding method was proposed to address the large-scale orders that need to …be divided into sub-lots based on genetic algorithm. The proposed approach is firstly validated by benchmark with other multi-objectives evolutionary algorithms. The results found that the proposed approach had a good convergence and diversity. Besides, the influence of the proportion of large-scale orders priority level and sub-lot size was investigated in a panel furniture manufacturing scenario. The results can be concluded that the enterprise could obtain shorter order average waiting time and delay rate when the sub-lot sizes were set as two and the order priority level was allocated in the proportion of 1:2:3:4:5.

Abstract: The research of biomedical data is crucial for disease diagnosis, health management, and medicine development. However, biomedical data are usually characterized by high dimensionality and class imbalance, which increase computational cost and affect the classification performance of minority class, making accurate classification difficult. In this paper, we propose a biomedical data classification method based on feature selection and data resampling. First, use the minimal-redundancy maximal-relevance (mRMR) method to select biomedical data features, reduce the feature dimension, reduce the computational cost, and improve the generalization ability; then, a new SMOTE oversampling method (Spectral-SMOTE) is proposed, which solves the noise sensitivity problem …of SMOTE by an improved spectral clustering method; finally, the marine predators algorithm is improved using piecewise linear chaotic maps and random opposition-based learning strategy to improve the algorithm’s optimization seeking ability and convergence speed, and the key parameters of the spectral-SMOTE are optimized using the improved marine predators algorithm, which effectively improves the performance of the over-sampling approach. In this paper, five real biomedical datasets are selected to test and evaluate the proposed method using four classifiers, and three evaluation metrics are used to compare with seven data resampling methods. The experimental results show that the method effectively improves the classification performance of biomedical data. Statistical test results also show that the proposed PRMPA-Spectral-SMOTE method outperforms other data resampling methods. Show more

Abstract: Image segmentation is critical in medical image processing for lesion detection, localisation, and subsequent diagnosis. Currently, computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) has played a significant role in improving diagnostic efficiency and accuracy. The segmentation task is made more difficult by the hazy lesion boundaries and uneven forms. Because standard convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are incapable of capturing global contextual information, adequate segmentation results are impossible to achieve. We propose a multiscale feature fusion network (MTC-Net) in this paper that integrates deep separable convolution and self-attentive modules in the encoder to achieve better local continuity of images and feature maps. In the decoder, …a multi-branch multi-scale feature fusion module (MSFB) is utilized to improve the network’s feature extraction capability, and it is integrated with a global cooperative aggregation module (GCAM) to learn more contextual information and adaptively fuse multi-scale features. To develop rich hierarchical representations of irregular forms, the suggested detail enhancement module (DEM) adaptively integrates local characteristics with their global dependencies. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed network, we conducted extensive experiments, evaluated on the public datasets of skin, breast, thyroid and gastrointestinal tract with ISIC2018, BUSI, TN3K and Kvasir-SEG. The comparison with the latest methods also verifies the superiority of our proposed MTC-Net in terms of accuracy. Our code on https://github.com/gih23/MTC-Net. Show more

Abstract: With the rapid development of big data and continuous optimization of online shopping platforms, personalized recommendation has become a standard feature of recommendation methods. In order to effectively provide personalized recommendations to customers, improve recommendation accuracy, and customer satisfaction, it is necessary to consider customers’ preferences for multiple product attributes when making product recommendations. However, existing recommendation methods require precise calculation of product attribute weights, which is computationally expensive, complex, and often results in unstable weight values. This paper proposes a multi-attribute recommendation method based on consumer decision preference information that overcomes the need for weights and reflects personalized customer …preferences. Based on the acquisition of customer product attribute preference sequences, a partial order relation for recommended products is constructed using partial order set theory. Finally, the recommended products are determined through the partial order Hasse diagram, where the top layer elements of the Hasse diagram represent the recommended product set. This method addresses challenges that traditional content-based recommendations cannot overcome. The experiment in this paper uses a dataset of 30,000 records from Beeradvocate beer reviews. The experimental results show that, compared to traditional multi-attribute recommendation methods, this method only requires decision-maker preference information to complete product recommendations, requiring less information and having lower computational costs, resulting in more robust results.

Abstract: Joint segmentation and registration of images is a focused area of research nowadays. Jointly segmenting and registering noisy images and images having weak boundaries/intensity inhomogeneity is a challenging task. In medical image processing, joint segmentation and registration are essential methods that aid in distinguishing structures and aligning images for precise diagnosis and therapy. However, these methods encounter challenges, such as computational complexity and sensitivity to variations in image quality, which may reduce their effectiveness in real-world applications. Another major issue is still attaining effective joint segmentation and registration in the presence of artifacts or anatomical deformations. In this paper, a …new nonparametric joint model is proposed for the segmentation and registration of multi-modality images having weak boundaries/noise. For segmentation purposes, the model will be utilizing local binary fitting data term and for registration, it is utilizing conditional mutual information. For regularization of the model, we are using linear curvature. The new proposed model is more efficient to segmenting and registering multi-modality images having intensity inhomogeneity, noise and/or weak boundaries. The proposed model is also tested on the images obtained from the freely available CHOAS dataset and compare the results of the proposed model with the other existing models using statistical measures such as the Jaccard similarity index, relative reduction, Dice similarity coefficient and Hausdorff distance. It can be seen that the proposed model outperforms the other existing models in terms of quantitatively and qualitatively. Show more

Abstract: To solve the problem that the walking jitter of quadruped robots leads to the degradation of clarity of visual imaging, a quadruped robot visual imaging jitter compensation algorithm based on the theory of walking jitter is proposed. The D-H coordinate transformation method is used to establish the coordinate system of each joint of the leg. The kinetic equations of the leg are derived from the relationship between the rotational velocity and the moment of the leg joint, and the kinetic equilibrium equations of the quadruped robot body are established based on the spatial moment equilibrium theorem; the spring-mass model of …the leg of the quadruped robot is used to construct the kinetic equations of the leg jittering, and the kinetic equations of the body jittering are derived using the moment equilibrium condition of the body center of gravity position and under the effect of the leg and body jitter to obtain the visual imaging device jitter quantity; finally, the tremor quantity is combined with the jitter quantity and rotation matrix to derive the walking jitter mathematical model of the quadruped robot visual imager, and the jitter compensation algorithm of quadruped robot visual imager is verified. The experimental results show that compared with the traditional Wiener filter algorithm for jitter compensation and the BP neural network jitter compensation algorithm, this algorithm improves the visual imaging by 10.8% and 3.3% in the two evaluation indexes of peak signal-to-noise ratio and structural similarity, respectively, and the de-jittering effect is better.

Abstract: Test-time augmentation (TTA) has become a widely adopted technique in the computer vision field, which can improve the prediction performance of models by aggregating the predictions of multiple augmented test samples without additional training or hyperparameter tuning. While previous research has demonstrated the effectiveness of TTA in visual tasks, its application in natural language processing (NLP) tasks remains challenging due to complexities such as varying text lengths, discretization of word elements, and missing word elements. These unfavorable factors make it difficult to preserve the label invariance of the standard TTA method for augmented text samples. Therefore, this paper proposes a …novel TTA technique called Defy, which combines nearest-neighbor anomaly detection algorithm and an adaptive weighting network architecture with a bidirectional KL divergence entropy regularization term between the original sample and the aggregated sample, to encourage the model to make more consistent and reliable predictions for various augmented samples. Additionally, by comparing with Defy, the paper further explores the problem that common TTA methods may impair the semantic meaning of the text during augmentation, leading to a shift in the model’s prediction results from correct to corrupt. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that Defy consistently outperforms existing TTA methods in various text classification tasks and brings consistent improvements across different mainstream models.

Abstract: Over the years, numerous optimization problems have been addressed utilizing meta-heuristic algorithms. Continuing initiatives have always been to create and develop new, practical algorithms. This work proposes a novel meta-heuristic approach employing the slender Loris optimization algorithm (SLOA), miming slender Loris behavior. The behavior includes foraging, hunting, migration and communication with each other. The ultimate goal of the devised algorithm is to replicate the food-foraging behaviour of Slender Loris (SL) and the quick movement of SL when threatened (i.e.) their escape from predators and also mathematically modelled the special communication techniques of SL using their urine scent smell. SLOA modelled …SL’s slow food foraging behaviour as the exploitation phase, and moving between the tree and escaping from a predator is modelled as the exploration phase. The Eyesight of slender Loris plays a vital role in food foraging during nighttime in dim light. The operator’s Eyesight is modelled based on the angle of inclination of SL. The urine scent intensity is used here to be instrumental in preventing already exploited territory activities, which improves algorithm performance. The suggested algorithm is assessed and tested against nineteen benchmark test operations and evaluated for effectiveness with standard widely recognized meta-heuristics algorithms. The result shows SLOA performing better and achieving near-optimal solutions and dominance in exploration–exploitation balance in most cases than the existing state-of-the-art algorithms. Show more

Abstract: The rough set model has been extended to interval rough number decision systems, but the existing studies do not consider interval rough number decision systems with missing values. To this end, a rough set model of incomplete interval rough number decision systems (IIRNDSs) is proposed, and its uncertainty measures are investigated. Firstly, the similarity of two incomplete interval rough numbers (IIRNs) are defined by calculating their optimistic and pessimistic distances of the lower and upper approximation intervals of IIRNs. Then, the rough sets in IIRNDSs are constructed by the induced similarity relation. Next, four uncertainty measures, including approximation accuracy, approximation …roughness, conditional entropy, and decision rough entropy are given, which exhibit a monotonic variation with changes in the size of attribute sets, α, and θ. Finally, the experimental results demonstrate the proposed rough set model of IIRNDSs is feasible and effective. Show more

Abstract: This paper proposes a method of using machine learning and an evolutionary algorithm to solve the flexible job shop problem (FJSP). Specifically, a back propagation (BP) neural network is used as the machine learning method, the most widely used genetic algorithm (GA) is employed as the optimized object to address the machine-selection sub-problem of the FJSP, and particle swarm optimization (PSO) is utilized to solve the operation-order sub-problem of the FJSP. At present, evolutionary algorithms such as the GA, PSO, ant colony algorithm, simulated annealing algorithm, and their optimization algorithms are widely used to solve the FJSP; however, none of …them optimizes the initial solutions. Because each of these algorithms only focuses on solving a single FJSP, they can only use randomly generated initial solutions and cannot determine whether the initial solutions are good or bad. Based on these standard evolutionary algorithms and their optimized versions, the JSON object was introduced in this study to cluster and reconstruct FJSPs such that the machine learning strategies can be used to optimize the initial solutions. Specifically, the BP neural networks are trained so that the generalization of BP neural networks can be used to judge whether the initial solutions of the FJSPs are good or bad. This approach enables the bad solutions to be filtered out and the good solutions to be maintained as the initial solutions. Extensive experiments were performed to test the proposed algorithm. They demonstrated that it was feasible and effective. The contribution of this approach consists of reconstructing the mathematical model of the FJSP so that machine learning strategies can be introduced to optimize the algorithms for the FJSP. This approach seems to be a new direction for introducing more interesting machine learning methodologies to solve the FJSP. Show more

Abstract: Kansei Engineering (KE) is a product design method that aims to develop products to meet users’ emotional preferences. However, traditional KE faces the problem that the acquisition of Kansei factors does not represent the real consumers demands based on manual and reports, and using traditional methods to calculate relationship between Kansei factors and specific design elements, which can lead to the omission of key information. To address these problems, this study adopts text mining and backward propagation neural networks (BPNN) to propose a product form design method from a multi-objective optimization perspective. Firstly, Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) and WordNet …are used to extract key user Kansei requirements from online review texts to obtain more accurate Kansei knowledge. Secondly, the BPNN is used to establish the non-linear relationship between product Kansei factors and specific design elements, and a preference mapping prediction model is constructed. Finally, BPNN is transformed into an iterative prediction value of non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II), and the model is solved through multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (MOEA) to obtain the Pareto optimal solution set that satisfies the user’s multiple emotional needs, and the fuzzy Delphi method is used to obtain the best product form design scheme that meets the user’s multiple emotional images. Using the example of electric bicycle form design could show that this proposed method can effectively complete multi-objective product solutions innovation design. Show more

Abstract: The concept of entropy and information gain of BE-algebras in scientific disciplines such as information theory, data science, supply chain and machine learning assists us to calculate the uncertanity of the scientific processes of phenomena. In this respect the notion of filter entropy for a transitive BE-algebra is introduced and its properties are investigated. The notion of a dynamical system on a transitive BE-algebra is introduced. The concept of the entropy for a transitive BE-algebra dynamical system is developed and, its characteristics are considered. The notion of equivalent transitive BE-algebra dynamical systems is defined, and it is proved the fact …that two equivalent BE-algebra dynamical systems have the same entropy. Theorems to help calculate the entropy are given. Specifically, a new version of Kolmogorov– Sinai Theorem has been proved. The study introduces the concept of information gain of a transitive BE-algebra with respect to its filters and investigates its properties. This study proposes the use of filter entropy to approximate the level of risk introduced by a BE-algebra dynamical system. This aim is reached by defining the information gain with respect to the filters of a BE-algebra. This methodology is well developed for use in engineering, especially in industrial networks.

Abstract: Time series forecasting has a wide range of applications in various fields. To eliminate the need for time series data volume, a meta-learning-based few-shot time series forecasting method is proposed. This method uses a residual stack module as its backbone and connects the residuals forward and backward through a multilayer fully connected network so that the model and the meta-learning framework can be seamlessly combined. The Empirical knowledge of different time-sequence tasks is obtained through meta-training. To enable fast adaptation to new prediction tasks, a small meta-network is introduced to adaptively and dynamically generate the learning rate and weight decay …coefficient of each step in the network. This method can use sequences of different data distribution characteristics for cross-task learning, and each training task only needs a small number of time series to achieve sequence prediction for the target task. The results show that compared with the two baselines, the proposed method has improved performance on 67.07% and 58.53% of the evaluated tasks. Thus, this method can effectively alleviate the problems caused by insufficient data during training and has broad application prospects in the field of time series. Show more

Abstract: As the volume of data continues to grow, the significance of text classification is on the rise. This vast amount of data majorly exists in the form of texts. Effective data preparation is essential to extract sentiment data from this vast amount of text, as irrelevant and redundant information can impede valuable insights. Feature selection is an important step in the data preparation phase as it eliminates irrelevant and insignificant features from the huge features set. There exist a large body of work related to feature selection for image processing but limited research is done for text data. While some …studies recognize the significance of feature selection in text classification, but there is still need for more efficient sentiment analysis models that optimize feature selection and reduce computational. This manuscript aims to bridge these gaps by introducing a hybrid multi-objective evolutionary algorithm as a feature selection mechanism, combining the power of multiple objectives and evolutionary processes. The approach combines two feature selection techniques within a binary classification model: a filter method, Information Gain (IG), and an evolutionary wrapper method, Binary Multi-Objective Grey Wolf Optimizer (BMOGWO). Experimental evaluations are conducted across six diverse datasets. It achieves a reduction of over 90 percent in feature size while improving accuracy by nearly nine percent. These results showcase the model’s efficiency in terms of computational time and its efficacy in terms of higher classification accuracy which improves sentiment analysis performance. This improvement can be beneficial for various applications, including recommendation systems, reviews analysis, and public opinion observation. However, it’s crucial to acknowledge certain limitations of this study. These encompass the need for broader classifier evaluation, and scalability considerations with larger datasets.

Abstract: Malware attack is a growing problem on the Android mobile platform due to its popularity and openness. Although numerous malware detection approaches have been proposed, it still remains challenging for malware detection due to a large amount of constantly mutating apps. The opcode, as the most fundamental part of Android app, possesses good resistance against obfuscation and Android version updates. Due to the large number of opcodes, most opcode-based methods employ statistical-based feature selection, which disrupts the correlation and semantic information among opcodes. In this paper, we propose an Android malware detection framework based on sensitive opcodes and deep reinforcement …learning. Firstly, we extract sensitive opcode fragments based on sensitive elements and then encode the features using n -gram. Next, we use deep reinforcement learning to select the optimal subset of features. During the process of handling opcodes, we focus on preserving semantic information and the correlation among opcodes. Finally, our experimental results show an accuracy of 0.9670 by using the 25 opcode features we obtained. Show more

Abstract: Existing methods for recognizing partial discharge patterns in power cables do not utilize fuzzy clustering of the discharge signals, resulting in poor quality and low recall and precision of the pattern recognition. To address this, we propose a new approach for partial discharge pattern recognition in cables using Gustafson-Kessel(GK) Fuzzy Clustering. The method involves acquiring signals from a power cable partial discharge monitoring system and then processing the signals with GK fuzzy clustering. The clustered discharge signals are filtered with wavelet packet transforms before input into an improved adaptive resonance theory(ART) neural network for final pattern recognition. Experiments demonstrate the …new technique achieves up to 98.7% recall and 85.6% precision for discharge pattern recognition, with discharge signal Signal Noise Ratio(SNR) between 55 dB and 62 dB and maximum recognition accuracy reaching 98%. The proposed fuzzy clustering-based pattern recognition approach significantly enhances partial discharge diagnostics for power cable monitoring. Show more

Abstract: To better understand users’ behavior patterns in web search, numerous click models are proposed to extract the implicit interaction feedback. Most existing click models are heavily based on the implicit information to model user behaviors, ignoring the impact of explicit information between queries and documents in search sessions. In this paper, we fully consider the topic relevance between queries and documents in search sessions and propose a novel topic relevance-aware click model (TRA-CM) for web search. TRA-CM consists of a relevance estimator and an examination predictor. The relevance estimator consists of a topic relevance predictor and a click context encoder. …In the topic relevance predictor, we utilize the pre-trained BERT model to model the content information of queries and documents in search sessions. Meanwhile, we use transformer to encode users’ click behaviors in the click context encoder. We further apply a two-stage fusion strategy to obtain the final relevance scores. The examination predictor estimates the examination probability of each document. We further utilize learnable filters to attenuate log noise and obtain purer input features in both relevance estimator and examination predictor, and investigate different combination functions to integrate relevance scores and examination probabilities into click prediction. Extensive experiment results on two real-world session datasets prove that TRA-CM outperforms existing click models in both click prediction and relevance estimation tasks. Show more

Early diagnosis is very important to avoid experiencing morbidity and mortality. Various tools and techniques are used to detect and monitor laryngeal cancers. Unfortunately, these tools and techniques have various limitations, for example, Existing tools and approaches Mask R-CNN for identifying laryngeal cancer have various performance limitations.

Abstract: Traffic on highways has increased significantly in the past few years. Consequently, this has caused delays for the drivers in reaching their final destination and increased the highway’s congestion level. Many options have been proposed to ease these issues. In this paper, a model of the highway drivers’ population was built based on several factors, including the behavioral patterns of the drivers, like drivers’ time flexibility to reach the destination, their carpool eligibility, and their tolerance to pay the toll price, in addition to the traffic information from the system. A fuzzy logic decision-making model is presented to emulate how …drivers would choose the lane to use based on the aforementioned factors and the current congestion levels of all the lanes on the highway. The presented model, along with the simulation results from applying the model to different simulation scenarios, show the usefulness of such a model in predicting an optimal toll value. Such optimal value would reduce congestion on the highway at one end while maximizing the revenue for the toll company. Show more

Abstract: A Single-valued neutrosophic set (SVNS) has recently been explored as a comprehensive tool to assess uncertain information due to varied human cognition. This notion stretches the domain of application of the classical fuzzy set and its extended versions. Various comparison measures based on SVNSs like distance measure, similarity measure, and, divergence measure have practical significance in the study of clustering analysis, pattern recognition, machine learning, and computer vision-related problems. Existing measures have some drawbacks in terms of precision and exclusion of information and produce unreasonable results in categorization problems. In this paper, we propose a generic method to define new …divergence measures based on common aggregation operators and discuss some algebraic properties of the proposed divergence measures. To further appreciate the proposed divergence measures, their application to pattern recognition has been investigated in conjunction with the prominent existing comparison measures based on SVNSs. The comparative assessment sensitivity analysis of the proposed measures establishes their edge over the existing ones because of appropriate classification results. Show more

Abstract: During the operation of HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning) systems, precise energy consumption prediction plays an important role in achieving energy savings and optimizing system performance. However, the HVAC system is a complex and dynamic system characterized by a large number of variables that exhibit significant changes over time. Therefore, it is inadequate to rely on a fixed offline model to adapt to the dynamic changes in the system that consume tremendous computation time. To solve this problem, a deep neural network (DNN) model based on Just-in-Time learning with hyperparameter R (RJITL) is proposed in this paper to predict …HVAC energy consumption. Firstly, relevant samples are selected using Euclidean distance weighted by Spearman coefficients. Subsequently, local models are constructed using deep neural networks supplemented with optimization techniques to enable real-time rolling energy consumption prediction. Then, the ensemble JITL model mitigates the influence of local features, and improves prediction accuracy. Finally, the local models can be adaptively updated to reduce the training time of the overall model by defining the update rule (hyperparameter R ) for the JITL model. Experimental results on energy consumption prediction for the HVAC system show that the proposed DNN-RJITL method achieves an average improvement of 5.17% in accuracy and 41.72% in speed compared to traditional methods.

Abstract: In order to effectively prevent and control accidents, it is essential to trace back the causes of gas explosions in cities. The DT-AR(decision tree-association rule) algorithm is proposed as a quantitative analysis of gas accident features and causality. First, 210 gas explosion accident investigation reports were taken as samples. The gas accident causation system is divided into three aspects, including environmental factors, management factors and physical factors. Management factors were sorted into organizational-level and individual-level factors from the investigation reports. Second, the CART decision tree model was used to compare location features, organizational causality features, and individual causality features of …the piped and bottled gas accidents, and a decision tree model with the gas system fault site as the root node was built to filter the key feature variables. In order to reveal factor correlations and deep-level causation, the Apriori algorithm is used to mine accident association rules. The combinations on the branches of the decision tree are used as constraints to filter the critical causality rule, which improves the efficiency of association rule screening and enhances prediction accuracy. The results demonstrate that the DT-AR algorithm can evaluate the importance of variables, quickly locate effective combinations of factors, and mine the complete causal chain. The association rule is screened based on the constraint of the key element combination of the decision tree, which compensates for the low efficiency of the Apriori algorithm for association rule mining. In addition, the accident-caused excavation results provide an effective path for gas companies, outsourced service companies and administrative departments to implement gas safety chain supervision, which can address the problem of gas accident safety management failures and provide decision support for accident prevention.

This paper improves the Smote algorithm from the algorithm and sample dimensions to tackle the issue of imbalanced distribution of questionnaire data. The k-means Smote is combined with RBFNN as K-RBFNN Smote in the algorithm dimension and add FCM link to resample the minority set in the sample dimension as FCM K-RBFNN Smote. In order to improve the generalization of models, the RUS module is added to the algorithm. Experiments are carried out on four improved Smote technologies and two existing Smote technologies combined with …XGBoost, which is superior than the other five conventional classification models. The experimental results indicate that the performance order is RUS FCM K-RBFNN Smote > K-RBFNN Smote > FCM K-RBFNN Smote > RUS K-RBFNN Smote > K-Means Smote > FCM Smote. The RUS FCM K-RBFNN method has been identified as the optimal approach for enhancing performance, resulting in a 98.58% accuracy rate. In conclusion, Smote algorithm undergoes the implementation of K-RBFNN shows greater performance and the enhancement of FCM and RUS relies on the structure of sampling. Show more

Abstract: Nowadays, cancer has become more alarming. This paper discusses the most significant Ovarian Cancer, Epithelial Ovarian Cancer (EOC), due to the low survival rate. The proposed algorithm for this work is a ‘Multi classifier ShapRFECV based EOC’ (MSRFECV-EOC) subtype analysis technique that utilized the EOC data from the National Centre for Biotechnology Information and Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia websites for early identification of EOC using Machine Learning Techniques. This approach increases the data size, balances different classes of the data, and cuts down the enormous number of features unrelated to the disease of interest to prevent overfitting. To incorporate these …functionalities, in the data preprocessing stage, OC-related gene names were taken from the Cancermine database and other OC-related works. Moreover, OC datasets were merged based on OC genes, and missing values of EOC subtypes were identified and imputed using Iterative Logistic Imputation. Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique with an Edited Nearest Neighbors approach is applied to the imputed dataset. Next, in the Feature Selection phase, the most significant features for subtypes of EOC were identified by applying the Shapley Additive Explanations based on the Recursive Feature Elimination Cross-Validation (ShapRFECV) algorithm, preserving predefined features while selecting new EOC features. Eventually, an accuracy of 97% was achieved with Optuna-optimized Random Forest, which outperformed the existing models. SHAP plotted the most prominent features behind the classification. The Pickle tool saves much training time by preserving hidden parameter values of the model. In the final phase, by using the Stratified K Fold Stacking Classifier, the accuracy was improved to 98.9%. Show more

Abstract: With tremendous evolution in the internet world, the internet has become a household thing. Internet users use search engines or personal assistants to request information from the internet. Search results are greatly dependent on the entered keywords. Casual users may enter a vague query due to lack of knowledge of the domain-specific words. We propose a query reformulation system that determines the context of the query, decides on keywords to be replaced and outputs a better-modified query. We propose strategies for keyword replacements and metrics for query betterment checks. We have found that if we project keywords into the vector …space of word projection using word embedding techniques and if the keyword replacement is correct, clusters of a new set of keywords become more cohesive. This assumption forms the basis of our proposed work. To prove the effectiveness of the proposed system, we applied it to the ad-hoc retrieval tasks over two benchmark corpora viz TREC-CDS 2014 and OHSUMED corpus. We indexed Whoosh search engine on these corpora and evaluated based on the given queries provided along with the corpus. Experimental results show that the proposed techniques achieved 9 to 11% improvement in precision and recall scores. Using Google’s popularity index, we also prove that the reformulated queries are not only more accurate but also more popular. The proposed system also applies to Conversational AI chatbots like ChatGPT, where users must rephrase their queries to obtain better results. Show more

Abstract: Security and privacy are major concerns in this modern world. Medical documentation of patient data needs to be transmitted between hospitals for medical experts opinions on critical cases which may cause threats to the data. Nowadays most of the hospitals use electronic methods to store and transmit data with basic security measures, but these methods are still vulnerable. There is no perfect solution that solves the security problems in any industry, especially healthcare. So, to cope with the arising need to increase the security of the data from being manipulated the proposed method uses a hybrid image encryption technique to …hide the data in an image so it becomes difficult to sense the presence of data in the image while transmission. It combines Least Significant Bit (LSB) Algorithm using Arithmetic Division Operation along with Canny edge detection to embed the patient data in medical images. The image is subsequently encrypted using keys of six different chaotic maps sequentially to increase the integrity and robustness of the system. Finally, an encrypted image is converted into DNA sequence using DNA encoding rule to improve reliability. The experimentation is done on the Chest XRay image, Knee Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) image, Neck MRI image, Lungs Computed Tomography (CT) Scan image datasets and patient medical data with 500 characters, 1000 characters and 1500 characters. And, it is evaluated based on time coefficient of encryption and decryption, histogram, entropy, similarity score (Mean Square Error), quality score (peak signal-to-noise ratio), motion activity index (number of changing pixel rate), unified average changing intensity, image similarity score (structure similarity index measurement) between original and encrypted images. Also, the proposed technique is compared with other recent state of arts methods for 500 characters embedding and performed better than those techniques. The proposed method is more stable and embeds comparatively more data than other recent works with lower Mean Square Error value of 4748.12 which is the main factor used to determine how well the data is hidden and cannot be interpreted easily. Also, it achieved a Peak Signal-Noise Ratio (PSNR) value of 71.34 dB, which is superior than other recent works, verifying that the image quality remains uncompromising even after being encrypted.

Abstract: Document-level relation extraction aims to uncover relations between entities by harnessing the intricate information spread throughout a document. Previous research involved constructing discrete syntactic matrices to capture syntactic relationships within documents. However, these methods are significantly influenced by dependency parsing errors, leaving much of the latent syntactic information untapped. Moreover, prior research has mainly focused on modeling two-hop reasoning between entity pairs, which has limited applicability in scenarios requiring multi-hop reasoning. To tackle these challenges, a syntax-enhanced multi-hop reasoning network (SEMHRN) is proposed. Specifically, the approach begins by using a dependency probability matrix that incorporates richer grammatical information instead of …a sparse syntactic parsing matrix to build the syntactic graph. This effectively reduces syntactic parsing errors and enhances the model’s robustness. To fully leverage dependency information, dependency-type-aware attention is introduced to refine edge weights based on connecting edge types. Additionally, a part-of-speech prediction task is included to regularize word embeddings. Unrelated entity pairs can disrupt the model’s focus, reducing its efficiency. To concentrate the model’s attention on related entity pairs, these related pairs are extracted, and a multi-hop reasoning graph attention network is employed to capture the multi-hop dependencies among them. Experimental results on three public document-level relation extraction datasets validate that SEMHRN achieves a competitive F1 score compared to the current state-of-the-art methods. Show more

Abstract: Achieving household food security is the tumbling issue of the century. This article explores the factors affecting household food security and solutions by utilizing a synergy of statistical and mathematical models. The methodology section is divided into two portions namely sociological and mathematical methods. Sociologically, 379 household heads were interviewed through structured questions and further analyzed in terms of descriptive and binary logistic regression. The study found that 4 independent variables (poverty, poor governance, militancy, and social stratification) showed a significant association (P = 0.000) to explain variations in the dependent variable (household FS). The Omnibus test value (χ2 = 102.386; P … = 0.000) demonstrated that the test for the entire model against constant was statistically significant. Therefore, the set of predictor variables could better distinguish the variation in household FS. The Nagelkerke’s R Square (R2 = .333) helps to interpret that the prediction variable and the group variables had a strong relationship. Moreover, 23% to 33% variation in FS was explained by the grouping variables (Cox and Snell R2 = 0.237 and Nagelkerke’s R2 = 0.333). The significant value of Wald test results for each variable confirmed that the grouping variables (poor governance P = 0.004, militancy P = 0.000, social stratification P = 0.021 and poverty P = 0.000) significantly predicted FS at the household level. Mathematically, all the statistics were validated further through the application of spherical fuzzy mathematics (TOPIS and MADM) to explore what factors are affecting household FS. Thus, the study found that F 3 (poverty ) > F 2 (militancy) > F 4 (social stratification) > F 1 (poor governance) respectively. Thus, it could be concluded from these findings that the prevalence of poverty dysfunctional all the channels of household FS at the macro and micro levels. Therefore, a sound and workable model to eradicate poverty in the study area by ensuring social safety nets for the locals was put forward some of the policy implications for the government are the order of the day.

Abstract: Classifying VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) traffic is vital for optimizing network performance and Quality of Service (QoS). This study introduces the Multivariate Statistical-Based Classification (MVSC) system, designed to classify network traffic with high accuracy and efficiency. As traditional methods struggle in the diverse and complex landscape of today’s network traffic, which includes voice, video, gaming, and data, the MVSC algorithm rises to the challenge. It employs Statistical Dissemination and leverages various statistical features such as Packet Size, Inter-Arrival Statistics, Packet and Data rates, Flow Length, and Five-tuple information to create nuanced profiles of network traffic packets. These packets are …then grouped into distinct clusters based on their statistical attributes through Application Flow Cluster Grouping. A unique aspect of the MVSC system is its approach to representing each application flow as points in a two-dimensional space, where distances to predefined application profiles are calculated. The nearest profile then determines the type of VoIP traffic. Experimental results using university traffic data (KU-IDS) underscore the system’s high accuracy, consistently around 98-99%. These findings affirm the system’s suitability for real-time deployment. In summary, the MVSC system offers a robust and efficient solution for VoIP traffic classification, significantly boosting network performance and QoS, and proving to be an invaluable asset in contemporary network management.

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 existing negative selection algorithms can not improve their detection performance by human intervention during the testing process. This paper proposes a negative selection algorithm with human-in-the-loop for anomaly detection. It uses self-sample clusters to train detectors with a nonrandom strategy. Its detectors and self-sample clusters fully cover state space without overlapping each other. It locally adjusts detectors and self-sample clusters with human intervention to improve its detection performance during the testing process. Experiments were performed on two synthetic datasets and the Iris dataset from the UCI repository to assess its performance. The results show that it outperforms the other …anomaly detection methods in most cases. 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.
