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. This paper proposes a novel approach to assess the quantity of uncertainty, and the impact of information gain of a BE-algebra dynamical system. Show more

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. These identified limitations serve as directions for future research and the enhancement of the proposed approach. Show more

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

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.

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 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.
