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

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

Abstract: 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: The technique of determining the borders between several objects or regions in an image is known as edge detection. The edges of an object in an image serve as the object’s limits and can reveal crucial details about the object’s size, shape, and position. The pre-processing stage of edge detection is crucial because it can increase the precision and effectiveness of edge detection algorithms. As low-density or low-pixel values muddy the image, detecting edges in low-resolution images is difficult. This paper aims to introduce LRED, an improved edge detection model for low-resolution images based on Gaussian smoothing. Also used for …image pre-processing and smoothing is the Gaussian filter. The Gaussian smoothing method works well for spotting edges in images. Additionally, we have presented a comprehensive comparison of our proposed approach with three modern, cutting-edge detection approaches and algorithms. Investigations have been conducted on several images in addition to low-quality images to discover edges. RMSE and PSNR are two different evaluation metrics used to measure proposed methods. LRED achieved 90.25% MSE, which is slightly better than the other three approaches which show more reliable outcomes. Show more

Abstract: Privacy-Preserving Fuzzy Commitment Schemes (PPFCS) have emerged as a promising solution for secure Internet of Things (IoT) device authentication, addressing the critical need for privacy and security in the rapidly growing IoT ecosystem. This paper presents a novel PPFCS-based authentication mechanism that protects sensitive user data and ensures secure communication between IoT devices. The proposed scheme leverages error-correcting codes (ECC) and cryptographic hash functions to achieve reliable and efficient authentication. The PPFCS framework allows IoT devices to authenticate themselves without revealing their true identity, preventing unauthorized access and preserving users’ privacy. Furthermore, our PPFCS-based authentication mechanism is resilient against various …attacks, such as replay, man-in-the-middle, and brute-force attacks, by incorporating secure random nonce generation and timely key updates. We provide extensive experimental results and comparative analysis, demonstrating that the proposed PPFCS significantly outperforms existing authentication schemes in terms of security, privacy, and computational efficiency. As a result, the PPFCS offers a viable and effective solution for ensuring secure and privacy-preserving IoT device authentication, mitigating the risks associated with unauthorized access and potential data breaches in the IoT ecosystem.

Abstract: In this study, we investigate the viability of applying fuzzy reinforcement learning (FRL) to Internet of Things-based robots for purposes of autonomous navigation and collision avoidance. The proposed approach utilises FRL, IoT, and a sensor network to give the robot the ability to learn from its environment and act in accordance with those policies. The authors used FRL to train a mobile robot with wheels to move around and avoid obstacles, and then they put the robot through its paces in a virtual world. Results showed that the FRL-based technique improved the robot’s navigation and collision avoidance performance compared to …traditional rule-based approaches.

Abstract: Mechanical fault diagnosis is currently a highly trending topic, facing two significant challenges. Firstly, the acquisition of an ample number of fault samples proves to be difficult, thereby limiting access to sufficient data samples. Secondly, intricate and non-mathematically describable associations often exist among different faults. Most algorithms treat fault samples as isolated entities, consequently impacting the accuracy of fault diagnosis. This paper proposes a novel machine learning framework called Domain Graph Attention Neural Network (DGAT), which leverages the topological structure of graphs to effectively capture the interrelationships among fault samples. Additionally, this framework incorporates domain information during node updates …to obtain richer embeddings, particularly in scenarios with limited available samples. It effectively overcomes the fixed receptive field limitation of the original Graph Attention Network (GAT). In order to validate the effectiveness of the model, we conducted extensive comparative experiments on diverse datasets, which demonstrated the superior performance of the proposed model. Show more
