Abstract: The actual operating environment of rotating mechanical device contains a large number of noisy interference sources, leading to complex components, strong coupling, and low signal to noise ratio for vibration. It becomes a big challenge for intelligent fault diagnosis from high-noise vibration signals. Thus, this paper proposes a new deep learning approach, namely decomposition-enhance Fourier residual network (DEFR-net), to achieve high noise immunity for vibration signal and learn effective features to discriminate between different types of rotational machine faults. In the proposed DEFR-net, a novel algorithm is proposed to explicitly model high-noise signals for noisy data filtering and effective feature …enhancement based on a hard threshold decomposition function and muti-channel self-attention mechanism. Furthermore, it deeply integrates complementary analysis based on fast Fourier transform in the time-frequency domain and extends the breadth of network. The performance of the proposed model is verified by comparison with five state-of-the-art algorithms on two public datasets. Moreover, the noise experimental results show that the fault diagnosis accuracy is still 85.91% when the signal-to-noise-ratio reaches extreme noise of –8 dB. The results demonstrate that the proposed method is a valuable study for intelligent fault diagnosis of rotating machines in high-noise environments. Show more

Abstract: The main focus of this paper is to solve the optimization problem of minimizing the maximum completion time in the flexible job-shop scheduling problem. In order to optimize this objective, random sampling is employed to extract a subset of states, and the mutation operator of the genetic algorithm is used to increase the diversity of sample chromosomes. Additionally, 5-tuple are defined as the state space, and a 4-tuple is designed as the action space. A suitable reward function is also developed. To solve the problem, four reinforcement learning algorithms (Double-Q-learning algorithm, Q-learning algorithm, SARS algorithm, and SARSA(λ ) algorithm) are …utilized. This approach effectively extracts states and avoids the curse of dimensionality problem that occurs when using reinforcement learning algorithms. Finally, experimental results using an international benchmark demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed solution model. Show more

Abstract: Current mainstream deep learning optimization algorithms can be classified into two categories: non-adaptive optimization algorithms, such as Stochastic Gradient Descent with Momentum (SGDM), and adaptive optimization algorithms, like Adaptive Moment Estimation with Weight Decay (AdamW). Adaptive optimization algorithms for many deep neural network models typically enable faster initial training, whereas non-adaptive optimization algorithms often yield better final convergence. Our proposed Adaptive Learning Rate Burst (Adaburst) algorithm seeks to combine the strengths of both categories. The update mechanism of Adaburst incorporates elements from AdamW and SGDM, ensuring a seamless transition between the two. Adaburst modifies the learning rate of the SGDM …algorithm based on a cosine learning rate schedule, particularly when the algorithm encounters an update bottleneck, which is called learning rate burst. This approach helps the model to escape current local optima more effectively. The results of the Adaburst experiment underscore its enhanced performance in image classification and generation tasks when compared with alternative approaches, characterized by expedited convergence and elevated accuracy. Notably, on the MNIST, CIFAR-10, and CIFAR-100 datasets, Adaburst attained accuracies that matched or exceeded those achieved by SGDM. Furthermore, in training diffusion models on the DeepFashion dataset, Adaburst achieved convergence in fewer epochs than a meticulously calibrated AdamW optimizer while avoiding abrupt blurring or other training instabilities. Adaburst augmented the final training set accuracy on the MNIST, CIFAR-10, and CIFAR-100 datasets by 0.02%, 0.41%, and 4.18%, respectively. In addition, the generative model trained on the DeepFashion dataset demonstrated a 4.62-point improvement in the Frechet Inception Distance (FID) score, a metric for assessing generative model quality. Consequently, this evidence suggests that Adaburst introduces an innovative optimization algorithm that simultaneously updates AdamW and SGDM and incorporates a learning rate burst mechanism. This mechanism significantly enhances deep neural networks’ training speed and convergence accuracy. Show more

Abstract: This paper presents an approach incorporating fuzzy logic techniques inside a convolutional neural network to manage uncertainty present in the multiple data sources that the model handles when training. The implementation considers the use of information and filters in the fuzzy spectrum, as well as the creation of a new layer to replace the traditional convolution layer with a fuzzy convolutional layer. The aim is to design artificial intelligence algorithms that combine the potential of deep convolutional neural networks and fuzzy logic to create robust systems that allow modeling the uncertainty present in the sources of data and that are …applied to classification problems. The fuzzification process is developed using three membership functions, including the Triangular, Gaussian, and S functions. The work was tested in databases oriented to traffic signs, due to the complexity of the different circumstances and factors in which a traffic sign can be found. Show more

Abstract: The ability of deep learning based bearing fault diagnosis methods is developing rapidly. However, it is difficult to obtain sufficient and comprehensive fault data in industrial applications, and changes in vibration signals caused by machine operating conditions can also hinder the accuracy of the model. The problem of limited data and frequent changes in operating conditions can seriously affect the effectiveness of deep learning methods. To tackle these challenges, a novel transformer model named the Differential Window Transformer (Dwin Transformer), which employs a new differential window self-attention mechanism, is presented in this paper. Meanwhile, the model introduces a hierarchical structure …and a new patch merging to further improve performance. Furthermore, a new fault diagnosis model dealing with limited training data is proposed, which combines the Auxiliary Classifier Generative Adversarial Network with the Dwin Transformer(DT-ACGAN). The DT-ACGAN model can generate high-quality fake samples to facilitate training with limited data, significantly improving diagnostic capabilities. The proposed model can achieve excellent results under the dual challenges of limited data and variable working conditions by combining Dwin Transformer with GAN. The DT-ACGAN owns superior diagnostic accuracy and generalization performance under limited sample data and varying working environments when compared with other existing models. A comparative test about cross-domain ability is conducted on the Case Western Reserve University dataset and Jiang Nan University dataset. The results show that the proposed method achieves an average accuracy of 11.3% and 3.76% higher than other existing methods with limited data respectively. Show more

Abstract: There is scope to enhance agricultural measurement and control systems user interactivity, which typically necessitates training for users to perform specific operations successfully. With the continuous development of natural language semantic processing technology, it has become essential to augment the user-friendliness of multifaceted control and query operations in the agricultural measurement and control sector, ultimately leading to reduced operation costs for users. The study aims to focus on command parsing. The proposed AMR-OPO semantic parsing framework is based on the natural language understanding method of Abstract Meaning Representation of Rooted Markup Graphs (AMR). It transforms the user’s natural language inputs …into structured ternary (OPO) statements (operation-place-object) and converts the corresponding parameters of the user’s input commands. The framework subsequently sends the transformed commands to the relevant devices via the IoT gateway. To tackle the intricate task of parsing instructions, we developed a BERT-BiLSTM-ATT-CRF-OPO entity recognition model. This model can detect and extract entities from agricultural instructions, and precisely populate them into OPO statements. Our model shows exceptional accuracy in instruction parsing, with precision, recall, and F-value all measuring at 92.13%, 93.12%, and 92.76%, correspondingly. The findings from our experiment reveal outstanding and precise performance of our approach. It is anticipated that our algorithm will enhance the user experience offered by agricultural measurement and control systems, while also making them more user-friendly. Show more

Abstract: In response to a series of issues in the distribution network, such as inadequate and inflexible utilization of flexible loads, delayed response to demand participation, and the uncertainty of new energy source output, a differentiated objective-based method for optimizing distribution network operations is proposed. Firstly, flexible loads are categorized, and corresponding mathematical models are established. Secondly, by employing chance-constrained programming to account for the uncertainty in new energy source output, a multi-objective optimization model is developed to reduce distribution network economic costs, decrease network losses, and enhance power supply reliability. Subsequently, an improved NSGA-III algorithm is introduced to address the …multi-objective model. Finally, an 11-node distribution network is used as a case study, and three different algorithms are comprehensively compared. This confirms the rationality of the optimized scheduling scheme proposed in this paper. Show more

Abstract: Super-enhancers are a category of active super-enhancers densely occupied by transcription factors and chromatin regulators, controlling the expression of disease-related genes and cellular identity. Recent studies have demonstrated the formation of complex structures by various factors and super-enhancers, particularly in various cancers. However, our current knowledge of super-enhancers, such as their genomic locations, interaction with factors, functions, and distinction from other super-enhancers regions, remains limited. This research aims to employ deep learning techniques to detect and differentiate between super-enhancers and enhancers based on genomic and epigenomic features and compare the accuracy of the results with other machine learning methods In …this study, in addition to evaluating algorithms, we trained a set of genomic and epigenomic features using a deep learning algorithm and the Python-based cross-platform software to detect super-enhancers in DNA sequences. We successfully predicted the presence of super-enhancers in the sequences with higher accuracy and precision. Show more
