Abstract: The rapid advancement of communication and information technology has led to the expansion and blossoming of digital music. Recently, music feature extraction and classification have emerged as a research hotspot due to the difficulty of quickly and accurately retrieving the music that consumers are looking for from a large volume of music repositories. Traditional approaches to music classification rely heavily on a wide variety of synthetically produced aural features. In this research, we propose a novel approach to selecting the musical genre from user playlists by using a classification and feature selection machine learning model. To filter, normalise, and eliminate …missing variables, we collect information on the playlist’s music genre and user history. The characteristics of this data are then selected using a convolutional belief transfer Gaussian model (CBTG) and a fuzzy recurrent adversarial encoder neural network (FRAENN). The experimental examination of a number of music genre selection datasets includes measures of training accuracy, mean average precision, F-1 score, root mean squared error (RMSE), and area under the curve (AUC). Results show that this model can both create a respectable classification result and extract valuable feature representation of songs using a wide variety of criteria. Show more

Abstract: In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has rapidly emerged as an essential technology, enabling seamless communication between billions of interconnected devices. These devices generate a massive amount of data that requires efficient management to ensure optimum performance in IoT environments. Dynamic load balancing (DLB) is a crucial technique employed to distribute workloads evenly across multiple computing resources, thereby reducing latency and increasing the overall efficiency of IoT networks. This paper presents a novel DLB approach based on type-2 fuzzy logic systems (T2FLS) to enhance the performance and reliability of IoT environments. The proposed T2FLS-based DLB technique addresses the …inherent uncertainties and imprecisions in IoT networks by considering various parameters, such as workload, processing capability, and communication latency. A comprehensive performance evaluation is carried out to compare the proposed method with traditional DLB approaches. Simulation results demonstrate that the T2FLS-based DLB technique significantly improves the network’s response time, throughput, and energy efficiency, while also providing better adaptability and robustness to dynamic changes in IoT environments. This study contributes to the advancement of DLB techniques in IoT networks and lays the groundwork for further research in this field. Show more

Abstract: The fees of different certification services are charged in different ways: For example, T-mall.com (one of the leading e-commerce platforms in China) uses a total certification service , where each type of seller participating in the platform must purchase certification services; Pinduoduo.com (another Chinese e-commerce platform) uses an alternative certification service , where after paying a transaction fee, each seller participating in the platform can choose whether to purchase certification services. This paper studies how the choice of certification services affects the participation decisions of both sellers and buyers, as well as the revenue and quality level (the proportion of …high-quality sellers of all participating sellers) of a platform. According to previous research, network externalities also affect sellers’ and buyers’ participation strategies. Studies on the effectiveness of different certification services for e-commerce platforms have rarely considered both positive and negative network externalities. The results of constructed game-theoretic models show that both the certification capability and the certification cost play critical roles in determining which certification services can generate more revenue. If a platform provides certification services, the total certification service always generates a higher quality level than the alternative certification service. Furthermore, the applicable scope of certification services (defined as the certification strategy space), can be broadened by increasing both the profit ratio (the ratio between the profit of H-type sellers and L-type sellers) and the value ratio (the ratio between the value of H-type sellers and L-type sellers). Counterintuitively, a higher certification capability does not always yield a higher certification fee. Show more

Abstract: An improved genetic algorithm is proposed for the Job Shop Scheduling Problem with Minimum Total Weight Tardiness (JSSP/TWT). In the proposed improved genetic algorithm, a decoding method based on the Minimum Local Tardiness (MLT) rule of the job is proposed by using the commonly used chromosome coding method of job numbering, and a chromosome recombination operator based on the decoding of the MLT rule is added to the basic genetic algorithm flow. As a way to enhance the quality of the initialized population, a non-delay scheduling combined with heuristic rules for population initialization. and a PiMX (Precedence in Machine crossover) …crossover operator based on the priority of processing on the machine is designed. Comparison experiments of simulation scheduling under different algorithm configurations are conducted for randomly generated larger scale JSSP/TWT. Statistical analysis of the experimental evidence indicates that the genetic algorithm based on the above three improvements exhibits significantly superior performance for JSSP/TWT solving: faster convergence and better scheduling solutions can be obtained.

Abstract: As the demand for energy in India continues to surge, accurate forecasting becomes paramount for efficient resource allocation and sustainable development. This study proposes an innovative approach to forecasting Indian primary energy demand by integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques with Fuzzy Auto-regressive Distributed Lag (FADL) models. FADL models, incorporating fuzzy logic, allow for a nuanced representation of uncertainties and complexities within the energy demand dynamics. In this research, historical energy consumption data is analysed using FADL models with both symmetric and non-symmetric triangular coefficients, enhancing the model’s adaptability to the inherent uncertainties associated with energy forecasting. This study addresses the …urgent need for enhanced energy planning models in the context of sustainable development. Our research aims to provide a comprehensive framework for predicting future Total Final Consumption (TFC) in alignment with the Indian National Energy Plan’s net-zero emissions target by 2035. Recognizing the limitations of current models, our research introduces a novel approach that integrates advanced algorithms and methodologies, offering a more flexible and realistic assessment of TFC trends. The primary objective of this study is to develop an improved energy planning model that surpasses existing projections by incorporating sophisticated algorithms. We aim to refine Show more

Abstract: When calculating participants’ contribution to federated learning, addressing issues such as the inability to collect complete test data and the impact of malicious and dishonest participants on the global model is necessary. This article proposes a federated aggregation method based on cosine similarity approximation Shapley value method contribution degree. Firstly, a participant contribution calculation model combining cosine similarity and the approximate Shapley value method was designed to obtain the contribution values of the participants. Then, based on the calculation model of participant contribution, a federated aggregation algorithm is proposed, and the aggregation weights of each participant in the federated aggregation …process are calculated by their contribution values. Finally, the gradient parameters of the global model were determined and propagated to all participants to update the local model. Experiments were conducted under different privacy protection parameters, data noise parameters, and the proportion of malicious participants. The results showed that the accuracy of the algorithm model can be maintained at 90% and 65% on the MNIST and CIFAR-10 datasets, respectively. This method can reasonably and accurately calculate the contribution of participants without a complete test dataset, reducing computational costs to a certain extent and can resist the influence of the aforementioned participants.

Abstract: Several methodologies have been proposed in the literature of graph theory for depicting collaboration among entities. However, in these studies, the measure of collaboration is taken based on the crisp graphical properties and discusses only its positive effects. In this manuscript, we discuss the simultaneous collaboration and competition that are observed among individuals, organizations, countries, communities and many others. The notion of bipolar fuzzy bunch graph (BFBG) is introduced in this study to effectively capture the positive and negative effects of both the terms collaboration and competition, which is jointly called coopetition. The goal of this paper is to introduce …an improved representation and analytical measure for coopetition. To further enrich the literature on competition graphs, the notion of survival and winning competition among species has been introduced and also provides its bipolar fuzzy competition degrees. We also introduce two types of coopetition measures to understand the ranking structure of entities (i.e. which node batter collaborates and competes with other nodes) in the network: a) bipolar fuzzy coopetition degree and b) bipolar fuzzy coopatition index. In the form of a bipolar fuzzy coopetition graph, we find evidence to validate our framework and computations. We gathered research articles on COVID-19 and their citations over a specific time period from a specific journal. To demonstrate our approach, we displayed bipolar fuzzy collaboration and competition of various countries on COVID-19 and classified their rankings based on their positive and negative coopetition indices.
