Abstract: Horizontal gene transference is a biological process that involves the donation of DNA or RNA from an organism to a second, unrelated organism. This process is different from the more common one, vertical transference, which is present whenever an organism or pair of organisms reproduce and transmit their genetic material to the descendants. The identification of segments of genetic material that are the result of horizontal transference is relevant to construct accurate phylogenetic trees, on one hand, and to detect possible drug-resistance mechanisms, on the other, since this movement of genetic material is the main cause behind antibiotic resistance in …bacteria. Here, we describe a novel algorithm able to detect sequences of foreign origin, and thus, possible acquired via horizontal transference. The general idea of our method is that within the genome of an organism, there might be sequences that are different from the vast majority of the remaining sequences from the same organism. The former are candidate anomalies, and thus, their origin may be explained by horizontal transference. This approach is equivalent to a particular instance of the authorship attribution problem, that in which from a set of texts or paragraphs, almost all of them were written by the same author, whereas a minority has a different authorship. The constraint is that the author of each text is not known, so the algorithm has to attribute the authorship of each one of the texts. The texts detected to be written by a different author are the equivalent of the sequences of foreign origin for the case of genetic material. We describe here a novel method to detect anomalous sequences, based on interpretable embeddings derived from a common attention mechanism in humans, that of identifying novel tokens within a given sequence. Our proposal achieves novel and consistent results over the genome of a well known organism. Show more

Abstract: Cattle detection and counting is one of the most important topics in the development of modern agriculture and animal husbandry. The traditional manual monitoring methods are inefficient and constrained by factors such as site. To solve the above problems, a SCS-YOLOv5 cattle detection and counting model for complex breeding scenarios is proposed. The original SPPF module is replaced in the YOLOv5 backbone network with a CSP structured SPPFCSPC. A CA (Coordinate Attention) mechanism is added to the neck network, as well as the SC (Standard Convolution) of the Neck network is replaced with a light convolution GSConv and Slim Neck …is introduced, and training strategies such as multi-scale training are also employed. The experimental results show that the proposed method enhances the feature extraction ability and feature fusion ability, balances the localization accuracy and detection speed, and improves the use effect in real farming scenarios. The Precision of the improved network model is improved from 93.2% to 95.5%, [email protected] is improved from 94.5% to 95.2%, the RMSE is reduced by about 0.03, and the FPS reaches 88. Compared with other mainstream algorithms, the comprehensive performance of SCS-YOLOv5 s is in a leading position, with fewer missed and false detections, and the strong robustness and generalization ability of this model are proved on multi-category public datasets. Applying the improvement ideas in this paper to YOLOv8 s also yields an increase in accuracy. The improved method in this study can greatly improve the accuracy of cattle detection and counting in complex environments, and has good real-time performance, so as to provide technical support for large-scale cattle breeding.

Abstract: The use of generative models in image synthesis has become increasingly prevalent. Synthetic medical imaging data is of paramount importance, primarily because medical imaging data is scarce, costly, and encumbered by legal considerations pertaining to patient confidentiality. Synthetic medical images offer a potential answer to these issues. The predominant approaches primarily assess the quality of images and the degree of resemblance between these images and the original ones employed for their generation.The central idea of the work can be summarized in the question: Do the performance metrics of Frechet Inception Distance(FID) and Inception Score(IS) in the Cycle-consistent Generative Adversarial Networks …(CycleGAN) model are adequate to determine how real a generated chest x-ray pneumonia image is? In this study, a CycleGAN model was employed to produce artificial images depicting 3 classes of chest x-ray pneumonia images: general(any type), bacterial, and viral pneumonia. The quality of the images were evaluated assessing and contrasting 3 criteria: performance metric of CycleGAN model, clinical assessment of respiratory experts and the results of classification of a visual transformer(ViT). The overall results showed that the evaluation metrics of the CycleGAN are insufficient to establish realism in generated medical images. Show more

Abstract: Video anomaly detection (VAD) has garnered substantial attention from researchers due to its broad applications, including fire detection, drop detection, and vibration detection. In the current context of VAD, existing methods prioritize detection efficiency but overlook the impact of motion and appearance information. Additionally, achieving accurate predictions while retaining motion and appearance information poses a significant challenge. This paper proposes a novel semi-supervised method for VAD based on Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) structures with dual generators and dual discriminators, namely Dual-GAN. The future frame generator utilizes an improved encoder-decoder network to preserve more spatial information. Motion information for the future …flow generator is obtained by estimating optical flow between reconstruction frames, complementing the optical flow between prediction frames. The introduction of a frame discriminator and a motion discriminator against the frame generator enhances the realism of prediction frames, which facilitates the identification of unexpected abnormal events. This method significantly outperforms comparative approaches in synthesizing video frames and predicting future flows, showcasing its effectiveness in handling diverse video data. Extensive experiments are performed on four publicly available datasets to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of the model performance. Further exploration could include refining the model architecture, exploring additional datasets, and adapting the methodology to specific application domains. Show more

Abstract: This paper performs an analysis comparing two evolutionary explainable fuzzy models that make inferences in a pipeline with a blood test data set for COVID-19 classification. Firstly, data is preprocessed by the following stages: cleaning, imputation and ranking feature selection. Later, we perform a comparative analysis between several clustering methods used in an Evolutionary Clustering-Structured Fuzzy Classifier (ECSFC) to solve this classification problem using the Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm. Complementarily, we find that the Fuzzy Decision Tree model produces similar performance when is tuned with the DE algorithm (EFDT). The obtained results show that, simpler models are easier to explain …qualitatively, i.e., increasing the number of clusters in ECSFC model or the maximum depth of the tree in EFDT model, does not necessarily help to obtain simplified and accurate models. In addition, although the EFDT model is by itself an intuitively explainable model, the ECSFC, with the help of the proposed Weighted Stacked Features Plot, generates more intuitive models that allow not only highlighting the features and the linguistic terms that defines a patient with COVID-19, but also allows users to visualize in a single graph and in specific colors the analyzed classes.

Abstract: The traditional multi-task Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) fuzzy system modeling methods pay more attention to utilizing the inter-task correlation to learn the consequent parameters but ignore the importance of the antecedent parameters of the model. To this end, we propose a novel multi-task TSK fuzzy system modeling method based on multi-task fuzzy clustering. This method first proposes a novel multi-task fuzzy c-means clustering method that learns multiple specific clustering centers for each task and some common clustering centers for all tasks. Secondly, for the consequent parameters of the fuzzy system, the novel low-rank and row-sparse constraints are proposed to better implement multi-task …learning. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model shows better performance compared with other existing methods. Show more

Abstract: As machine learning models become increasingly integrated into practical applications and are made accessible via public APIs, the risk of model extraction attacks has gained prominence. This study presents an innovative and efficient approach to model extraction attacks, aimed at reducing query costs and enhancing attack effectiveness. The method begins by leveraging a pre-trained model to identify high-confidence samples from unlabeled datasets. It then employs unsupervised contrastive learning to thoroughly dissect the structural nuances of these samples, constructing a dataset of high quality that precisely mirrors a variety of features. A mixed information confidence strategy is employed to refine the …query set, effectively probing the decision boundaries of the target model. By integrating consistency regularization and pseudo-labeling techniques, reliance on authentic labels is minimized, thus improving the feature extraction capabilities and predictive precision of the surrogate models. Evaluation on four major datasets reveals that the models crafted through this method bear a close functional resemblance to the original models, with a real-world API test success rate of 62.35%, which vouches for the method’s validity.

Abstract: Sensors are often deployed in harsh environments, in which some threats may endanger the safety of sensors. In this paper, a sensor deployment model is developed in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), in which the coverage rate and the threat risk are considered simultaneously. The model is established as an optimization problem. An adaptive ranking teaching learning-based optimization algorithm (ARTLBO) is proposed to solve the problem. Learners are divided into inferior and superior groups. The teacher phase is boosted by replacing the teacher with the top three learners, and the learner phase is improved by providing some guidance for inferior learners. …The experimental results show that the proposed ARTLBO algorithm can effectively optimize the model. The fitness values of the proposed model found by the proposed ARTLBO are 0.4894, 0.4886, which are better than its competitors.

Abstract: In large-scale scenes, how to quickly obtain paths while ensuring the shortest possible path length is a key issue. Rapidly-exploring Random Tree (RRT) have the characteristic of quickly exploring the state space, but it is often difficult to obtain a short path. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes an improved RRT algorithm based on equidistance retention strategy and A* local search(ERRRT-A*). First, RRT is used for large-step global fast exploration to obtain approximate paths. Then, an equidistance retention strategy is used to discard most of the points and retain a small number of key points. Finally, A* is used …to search between each segment to obtain a new path. The ERRRT-A* algorithm is compared with other commonly used algorithms on maps of different size in terms of path length and planning time. Simulation results indicate that compared with other algorithms, this algorithm achieves fast planning in large-scale scenes while obtaining short path length, which can effectively balance the path length and planning time.

Abstract: This study underscores the crucial role of image preprocessing in enhancing the outcomes of multimodal image registration tasks using scale-invariant feature selection. The primary focus is on registering two types of retinal images, assessing a methodology’s performance on a set of retinal image pairs, including those with and without microaneurysms. Each pair comprises a color optical image and a gray-level fluorescein image, presenting distinct characteristics and captured under varying conditions. The SIFT methodology, encompassing five stages, with preprocessing as the initial and pivotal stage, is employed for image registration. Out of 35 test retina image pairs, 33 (94.28%) were successfully …registered, with the inability to extract features hindering automatic registration in the remaining pairs. Among the registered pairs, 42.42% were retinal images without microaneurysms, and 57.57% had microaneurysms. Instead of simultaneous registration of all channels, independent registration of preprocessed images in each channel proved more effective. The study concludes with an analysis of the fifth registration’s resulting image to detect abnormalities or pathologies, highlighting the challenges encountered in registering blue channel images due to high intrinsic noise.

Abstract: Legal judgment prediction(LJP) has achieved remarkable results. However, existing methods still face problems such as difficulties in obtaining key feature words for charges, which impose limitations on the improvement of prediction results. To this end, we propose a legal judgment prediction model with legal feature Word subgraph Label-Embedding and Dual-knowledge Distillation(WLEDD). Compared with traditional methods, our method has two contributions: (1) To mitigate the impact of overly sparse tail class data and high similarity text representations, we capture the critical features related to the charges by fusing LDA and legal feature word subgraphs. Then we encode them as label information …to obtain highly distinguished representations of legal documents. (2) To solve the problem of high difficulty in some subtasks in LJP, we perform subtask-oriented compression of models to construct a student model with lower complexity and higher accuracy through dual knowledge distillation. Moreover, we exploit the logical association between the subtasks to constrain the labels of articles by charge prediction results. It greatly reduces the difficulty of article prediction. Experimental results on four datasets show that our approach significantly outperforms the baseline models. Compared with the state-of-art method, the F1 value of WLEDD for charge prediction has increased by an average of 2.57% . For article prediction, the F1 value has increased by an average of 1.09% . In addition, we demonstrate its effectiveness through ablation experiments and analytical experiments. Show more

Abstract: The paper focuses on how to improve the prediction accuracy of time series and the interpretability of prediction results. First, a novel Prophet model based on Gaussian linear fuzzy approximate representation (GF-Prophet) is proposed for long-term prediction, which uniformly predicts the data with consistent trend characteristics. By taking Gaussian linear fuzzy information granules as inputs and outputs, GF-Prophet predicts with significantly smaller cumulative error. Second, noticing that trend extraction affects prediction accuracy seriously, a novel granulation modification algorithm is proposed to merge adjacent information granules that do not have significant differences. This is the first attempt to establish Prophet based …on fuzzy information granules to predict trend characteristics. Experiments on public datasets show that the introduction of Gaussian linear fuzzy information granules significantly improves prediction performance of traditional Prophet model. Compared with other classical models, GF-Prophet has not only higher prediction accuracy, but also better interpretability, which can clearly give the change information, fluctuation amplitude and duration of a certain trend in the future that investors actually pay attention to.

Abstract: Accurate prediction of grid loss in power distribution networks is pivotal for efficient energy management and pricing strategies. Traditional forecasting approaches often struggle to capture the complex temporal dynamics and external influences inherent in grid loss data. In response, this research presents a novel hybrid time-series deep learning model: Gated Recurrent Units with Temporal Convolutional Networks (GRU-TCN), designed to enhance grid loss prediction accuracy. The proposed model integrates the temporal sensitivity of GRU with the local context awareness of TCN, exploiting their complementary strengths. A learnable attention mechanism fuses the outputs of both architectures, enabling the model to discern significant …features for accurate prediction. The model is evaluated using well-established metrics across distinct temporal phases: training, testing, and future projection. Results showcase Resulting in encouraging Figures for mean absolute error, root mean squared error, and mean absolute percentage error, the model’s capacity to capture both long-term trends and transitory patterns. The GRU-TCN hybrid model represents a pioneering approach to power grid loss prediction, offering a flexible and precise tool for energy management.

Abstract: Human Activity Recognition (HAR) utilizing Channel State Information (CSI) extracted from WiFi signals has garnered substantial interest across various domains and applications. This field’s potential paths and applications extend beyond CSI-based HAR and include smart homes, assisted living, security, gaming, surveillance, and context-aware computing. The ability of deep learning algorithms to effectively process and interpret CSI data opens up new possibilities for accurate and robust human activity recognition in real-world scenarios. However, traditional Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) models, such as Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), rely solely on their internal memory cells to maintain information over …time. Important details might be diluted or lost within the memory cells in complex CSI sequences. To address this limitation, we propose a lightweight approach that incorporates a multi-head adaptive attention weight mechanism MHAAM into the HAR framework. The multi-head attention mechanism allows the model to attend to different informative patterns within the CSI data simultaneously, capturing fine-grained temporal dependencies and improving the model’s ability to recognize complex activities. The implemented models effectively filter out noise and irrelevant information by assigning higher weights to informative CSI features, further enhancing activity classification accuracy. Experimental evaluations and comparative analyses of HAR for seven activities demonstrate that attention-based RNN models with multi-head attention consistently outperform traditional RNN models. The multi-head attention mechanism achieves improved generalization and testing for seven common human activities and environments, leading to a higher complex human activity classification accuracy of up to 98.5%.

Abstract: Accurately classifying products in e-commerce is critical for enhancing user experience, but it remains challenging due to data quality issues and the dynamic nature of product categories. Customers are increasingly relying on visual information to make informed purchasing decisions, emphasizing the importance of accurate product classification using images. In this paper, an innovative approach called SSWSO_LeNet is proposed for product image classification in e-commerce. The method involves preprocessing the input images using Region of Interest (RoI) and Adaptive Wiener Filters to improve image quality and reduce unwanted distortions. Data augmentation techniques are then applied to increase the diversity of the …dataset and the robustness of the model. To address this, we propose SSWSO_LeNet, integrating Squirrel Search Algorithm (SSA) and War Strategy Optimization (WSO) with LeNet. SSA mimics southern flying squirrels’ foraging behavior to find global optima efficiently, while WSO balances exploration and exploitation stages, enhancing classification accuracy. Experimental results show SSWSO_LeNet outperforms state-of-the-art models with an impressive accuracy of 0.976, sensitivity of 0.877, and specificity of 0.857. By leveraging SSA, WSO, and LeNet, SSWSO_LeNet not only improves classification accuracy but also reduces reliance on human editors, decreasing both cost and time in e-commerce product classification.

Abstract: Nature-inspired algorithms as problem-solving methodologies are extremely effective in discovery of optimized solutions in multi-dimensional and multi-modal problems. Because of qualities like “self-optimization”, “flexibility” and etc., nature-inspired algorithms for problem solving are effectively optimal. Feature selection is an approach to find approximate optimal subset of the features which are more relevant towards the particular outcome. In this study, we focused on how feature selection may improve the credit scoring model’s performance for prediction. Nature-inspired algorithms are applied for feature selection to improve the predictive performance of the credit scoring model. Additionally, four benchmark credit scoring datasets collected from the UCI …repository are used to test feature selection by several Nature-inspired algorithms aggregated with “Random Forest (RF)”, “Logistic Regression (LR),” and “Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP)” for classification and results are compared in terms of classification accuracy and G-measures.

Abstract: When data are hazy or uncertain, estimators given under classical statistics are ineffective. Given that it deals with uncertainty, neutrosophic statistics is the sole alternative. Due to the vast range of applications, extensive research has been done in this area. The objective of this study is to determine the most accurate predictions for the population mean with the least amount of mean square error. We have created neutrosophic ratio type estimators, when working with ambiguous, hazy, and neutrosophic-type data, the proposed estimation methods are very useful for computing results. These estimators produce findings that are not single-valued but rather have …an interval form, where our population parameter may lie more frequently. Since we have an estimated interval with the unknown population mean value given a minimal mean square error, it improves the estimators’ efficiency. Real life neutrosophic line losses data and simulation are both used to analyze the effectiveness of the proposed neutrosophic ratio-type estimators. Additionally, a comparison is made to show how helpful Neutrosophic ratio type estimator is in comparison to existing estimators. Show more

Abstract: The advancements in technology, particularly in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be advantageous for the agricultural sector to enhance the yield. Establishing an agricultural ontology as part of the development would spur the expansion of cross-domain agriculture. Semantic and syntactic knowledge of the domain data is required for building such a domain-based ontology. To process the data from text documents, a standard technique with syntactic and semantic features are needed because the availability of pre-determined agricultural domain-based data is insufficient. In this research work, an Agricultural Ontologies Construction framework (AOC) is proposed for …creating the agricultural domain ontology from text documents using NLP techniques with Robustly Optimized BERT Approach (RoBERTa) model and Graph Convolutional Network (GCN). The anaphora present in the documents are resolved to produce precise ontology from the input data. In the proposed AOC work, the domain terms are extracted using the RoBERTa model with Regular Expressions (RE) and the relationships between the domain terms are retrieved by utilizing the GCN with RE. When compared to other current systems, the efficacy of the proposed AOC method achieves an exceptional result, with precision and recall of 99.6% and 99.1% respectively. Show more

Abstract: This paper focuses on solving the fully fuzzy transportation problem in which the parameters are triangular Type-2 fuzzy numbers due to the instinctive of human imprecision. To deal with uncertainty more precisely, a triangular Type-1 fuzzy transportation problem is reformed as a transportation problem with triangular Type-2 fuzzy parameters in this paper. In order to compare triangular Type-2 fuzzy numbers, a new ranking(ordering) technique is proposed by extending the Yager’s function. However, two efficient algorithmic approaches namely, triangular Type-2 fuzzy zero suffix method (TT2FZSM) and triangular Type-2 fuzzy zero average method (TT2FZAM) are proposed to generate the initial transportation cost …of the fully triangular Type-2 fuzzy transportation problem. Both TT2FZSM and TT2FZAM are converging towards an optimal solution. In addition to TT2FZSM and TT2FZAM, the modified distribution method is applied to ensure optimality. Subsequently, we carry out a comprehensive discussion of the obtained results to establish the validation of the proposed approach. Show more

Abstract: Assessing fetal growth and development requires accurate identification of the fetal area contour and measurement of the Crown-Rump Length (CRL). In this paper, we presented a unique method for autonomously segmenting the fetal region in ultrasound images and calculating the CRL based on the U-Net architecture. Because of its capacity to capture both global and local information, the U-Net model is a popular choice for image segmentation tasks. Our method employs the U-Net model to extract the fetal region contour and measure the CRL, resulting in a dependable and efficient prenatal evaluation solution.

Abstract: Mental and cognitive well-being is of paramount significance for human beings. Consequently, the early detection of issues that may culminate in conditions such as depression holds great importance in averting adverse outcomes for individuals. Depression, a prevalent mental health disorder, can severely impact an individual’s quality of life. Timely identification and intervention are critical to prevent its progression. Our research delves into the application of Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) techniques to potentially facilitate the early recognition of depressive tendencies. By leveraging the cognitive triad theory, which encapsulates negative self-perception, a pessimistic outlook on the world, and a …bleak vision of the future, we aim to develop predictive models that can assist in identifying individuals at risk. In this regard, we selected The Cognitive Triad Dataset, which takes into account six different categories that encapsulate negative and positive postures about three different contexts: self context, future context and world context. Our proposal achieved great performance, by relying on a strict preprocessing analysis, which led to the models obtaining an accuracy value of 0.97 when classifying aspect contexts; 0.95 when classifying sentiment-aspects; and a value of 0.93 in accuracy was achieved under the aspect-sentiment paradigm. Our models outperformed those reported in the literature. Show more

Abstract: Sustainable agriculture revolves around soil organic carbon (SOC), which is essential for numerous soil functions and ecological attributes. Farmers are interested in conserving and adding additional soil organic carbon to certain fields in order to improve soil health and productivity. The relationship between soil and environment that has been discovered and standardized throughout time has enhanced the progress of digital soil-mapping techniques; therefore, a variety of machine learning techniques are used to predict soil properties. Studies are thriving at how effectively each machine learning method maps and predicts SOC, especially at high spatial resolutions. To predict SOC of soil at …a 30 m resolution, four machine learning models—Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, Adaptive Boosting, and k-Nearest Neighbour were used. For model evaluation, two error metrics, namely R2 and RMSE have been used. The findings demonstrated that the calibration and validation sets’ descriptive statistics sufficiently resembled the entire set of data. The range of the calculated SOC content was 0.06 to 1.76 %. According to the findings of the study, Random Forest showed good results for both cases, i.e. evaluation using cross validation and without cross validation. Using cross validation, RF confirmed highest R2 as 0.5278 and lowest RMSE as 0.1683 for calibration dataset while without cross validation it showed R2 as 0.8612 and lowest RMSE as 0.0912 for calibration dataset. The generated soil maps will help farmers adopt precise knowledge for decisions that will increase farm productivity and provide food security through the sustainable use of nutrients and the agricultural environment.

Abstract: This paper investigates an observer-based boundary controller design for interconnected nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) systems. First, the Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy model is adopted to accurately describe the target systems. Then, boundary measurements are employed to reduce the number of sensors. Next, considering the phenomenon of abnormal interference that may lead to measurement outliers and observer parameters’ uncertainties, an outlier-resistant non-fragile observer expressed by a saturation function is designed to guarantee the desired control objectives. Moreover, the boundary control approach is employed to trade-off the cost of system design and system performance. Furthermore, utilizing the membership function-dependent Lyapunov functions and …free-weight matrixes, sufficient conditions ensuring the closed-loop systems’ exponential stability are obtained while decreasing the conservativeness of the system stability analysis. Finally, the proposed method’s feasibility and effectiveness are validated by an example. Show more

Abstract: Instance-Based Learning, such as the k Nearest Neighbor (kNN), offers a straightforward and effective solution for text classification. However, as a lazy learner, kNN’s performance heavily relies on the quality and quantity of training instances, often leading to time and space inefficiencies. This challenge has spurred the development of instance-reduction techniques aimed at retaining essential instances and discarding redundant ones. While such trimming optimizes computational demands, it might adversely affect classification accuracy. This study introduces the novel Selective Learning Vector Quantization (SLVQ) algorithm, specifically designed to enhance the performance of datasets reduced through such techniques. Unlike traditional LVQ algorithms that …employ random vector weights (codebook vectors), SLVQ utilizes instances selected by the reduction algorithm as the initial weight vectors. Importantly, as these instances often contain nominal values, SLVQ modifies the distances between these nominal values, rather than modifying the values themselves, aiming to improve their representation of the training set. This approach is crucial because nominal attributes are common in real-world datasets and require effective distance measures, such as the Value Difference Measure (VDM), to handle them properly. Therefore, SLVQ adjusts the VDM distances between nominal values, instead of altering the attribute values of the codebook vectors. Hence, the innovation of the SLVQ approach lies in its integration of instance reduction techniques for selecting initial codebook vectors and its effective handling of nominal attributes. Our experiments, conducted on 17 text classification datasets with four different instance reduction algorithms, confirm SLVQ’s effectiveness. It significantly enhances the kNN’s classification accuracy of reduced datasets. In our empirical study, the SLVQ method improved the performance of these datasets, achieving average classification accuracies of 82.55%, 84.07%, 78.54%, and 83.18%, compared to the average accuracies of 76.25%, 79.62%, 66.54%, and 78.19% achieved by non-fine-tuned datasets, respectively.

Abstract: English text analysis is required for quantitative grammar, phrase, and word assessment to improve its usage in conversation, drafting, etc. In particular, a teaching system requires the flawless and precise use of English words, phrases, and sentences for fundamental and knowledge-based learning. Data integration and interoperability, data volume, and data variety pose difficulties for text data analytics. This article discusses a heterogeneous English teaching system text analysis solution that integrates a Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Deep Learning (DL). The Text Analytical Model (TAM) uses fused methods (FM) to handle words and their placement for sentence framing. The framed teaching sentence …is analyzed lexically for its precision and meaning with conventional features. Initially, the possible word combinations using the crossover and mutation operations of the genetic process are performed. The outcome of the genetic process forecasts different possible sentence combinations for delivering the English context to students. The mutation process identifies the most precise lexical sentence that fits the subject and context. Based on precision, the DL model is trained to reduce the initial population of the GA process; this is achieved in English teaching through repetitions or drilling performed for different sentences and words. The learning converges towards precision in delivering context-based words and sentences by reducing unnecessary crossovers in the genetic process to reduce computational complexity. This feature, therefore, achieves high-precision convergence with less computation time compared to methods of the same kind. TAM-FM improves the precision convergence, forecast probability, and population refinement by 9.5%, 11.39%, and 8.81%, respectively. TAM-FM reduces the computation time and complexity by 9.67% and 8.3%, respectively. Show more

Abstract: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal condition that typically affects female during the time of their reproduction. It is identified by the disruptions in hormonal balance, particularly an increase in levels of androgen (male hormone) in the female body. PCOS can lead to various symptoms and health complications including irregular menstrual cycles, ovarian cysts, fertility issues, insulin resistance, weight gain, acne, and excess hair growth. The real-world PCOS detection is a challenging task whilst PCOS specific cause is unknown and its symptoms are unclear. Thus, accurate and timely diagnosis of PCOS is crucial for effective management and prevention of …long-term complications. In such cases, Machine learning based PCOS prediction model support diagnostic process, address potential errors and time constraints. Machine learning algorithms can analyze large set of patient data, including medical history, hormonal profiles, and imaging results, to assist in the diagnosis of PCOS. In particular, the performance of data analysis chore and prediction model is improved by ensemble feature selection strategies. These methods concentrate on selecting a subset of pertinent features from a broader range of features. The unstable nature of the outcome of feature selection algorithm is a frequent issue in practical applications, when it is applied multiple times on similar dataset or with slight modifications in the data. Thus, evaluating the robustness of feature selection algorithm is most important. To address these issues and quantify the robustness, this study uses Jenson-Shannon divergence, an information theoretic approach with ensemble feature selection method to handle the various findings, such as complete ranking, half ranking and top-k lists (without ranking). Furthermore, this article proposes a hybrid machine learning classifier with SMOTE – SVM for the prompt detection of PCOS and the performance of the model is compared with a number of other individual classifiers including KNN (K-Nearest Neighbour), Support Vector Machine (SVM), AdaBoost, LR –Logistic Regression, NB –Nave Bayes, RF –Random Forest, Decision Tree. The proposed SWISS-AdaBoost classifier surpassed other models with 97.81% of accuracy and AUC of 99.08%. Show more

Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT) devices are major stakeholders of contemporary network bandwidth. The proliferation of IoT devices and the demand for latency-free communication in time-critical applications has proven the drawback of cloud-based solutions. Edge computing is an paradigm that reduces the application’s response time by utilizing computation and storage proximate to each devices. Privacy in cloud computing is attained by system virtualization, containerization, among other evolved technologies. As privacy remains a primary concern, there is a need to test the feasibility of resource-constrained edge devices. Hence, this work aimed to examine the usability of such devices in edge computing by …benchmarking on different runtime environments. The results reveal that a standard mechanism was achieved for defining the criteria to identify the suitable edge devices for computation offloading, particularly for a set of smart traffic surveillance use cases. Further, an optimization algorithm was designed to generate an optimum schedule that decides the best device to execute a particular task from the set of suitable edge devices to enhance energy and execution time in a global view. Based on the feasibility study and optimal schedule, a makespan that is nearly 11 times better than local execution for the considered traffic surveillance workflow was achieved. Show more

Abstract: Fog computing has several undeniable benefits, such as enhancing near-real-time response, reducing transmission costs, and facilitating IoT analysis. This technology is poised to have a significant impact on businesses, organizations, and our daily lives. However, mobile user equipment struggles to handle the complex computing tasks associated with modern applications due to its limited processing power and battery life. Edge computing has emerged as a solution to this problem by relocating processing to nodes at the network’s periphery, which have more computational capacity. With the rapid evolution of wireless technologies and infrastructure, edge computing has become increasingly popular. Nevertheless, managing fog …computing resources remains challenging due to resource constraints, heterogeneity, and distant nodes. For delay-sensitive intelligent IoT applications within the fog computing architecture, cooperation and communication processing resources in 6 G and future networks are essential. This study proposes a joint computational and optimized resource allocation (JCORA) technique to accelerate the processing of data from intelligent IoT sensors in a cell association environment. The proposed technique utilizes an uplink and downlink power allocation factor and the shortest job first (SJF) task scheduling system to optimize user fairness and decrease data processing time. This is a complex assignment due to several non-convex limitations. The suggested JCORA-SJF model simultaneously optimizes time partitioning, computing task processing mode selection, and target sensing location selection to maximize the weighted total of task processing and communication performance. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed JCORA-SJF algorithms, and the system’s scalability is also examined. Show more

Abstract: Social media platforms play vital roles in disseminating information during crisis situations. Many rescue agencies, media outlets, and volunteers regularly monitor this data to identify and analyze disasters, ultimately mitigating life risks. However, effectively categorizing these messages based on information types is crucial for enhancing the situational awareness of emergency responders. This paper addresses the challenge of analyzing informal crisis-related social media texts by classifying disaster event tweets into 10 humanitarian categories associated with 19 major natural disaster events. We fine-tune seven state-of-the-art pre-trained transformer models and compare their performance with the recently introduced domain-specific models, i.e., CrisisTransformers. We empirically …found that CrisisTransformers outperform seven strong baseline transformer models in classifying disaster-specific tweets from the HumAID dataset, achieving a macro-averaged F1 score of 0.77. Our work contributes to the crisis computing field by improving the classification of disaster-related tweets and enhancing the capabilities of emergency responders and disaster management organizations.

Abstract: The W3C linked building data group is working on modeling the information for integrating building information with building life cycle data using Semantic Web technologies. The community has proposed a set of semantic models such as ifcOWL and Building Topology Ontology (BOT), to model various applications across Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operation (AECO) domain. On the other hand, the Semantic Web of Things (SWoT) group proposed standard semantic models such as M3-lite and BOSH ontologies for describing the sensor networks, observations, and sensor measurements. Both the aforementioned domains have their own siloed applications and with the evolution of the smart …home domain, there is a need to combine the knowledge of building information with the sensor knowledge to develop cross-domain applications. However, in order to develop such downstream applications leveraging advantages from both domains requires interoperable knowledge.

Abstract: Speech production is a complex sequential process which involve the coordination of various articulatory features. Among them tongue being a highly versatile active articulator responsible for shaping airflow to produce targeted speech sounds that are intellectual, clear, and distinct. This paper presents a novel approach for predicting tongue and lip articulatory features involved in a given speech acoustics using a stacked Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) architecture, combined with a one-dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for post-processing with fixed weights initialization. The proposed network is trained with two datasets consisting of simultaneously recorded speech and Electromagnetic Articulography (EMA) datasets, each …introducing variations in terms of geographical origin, linguistic characteristics, phonetic diversity, and recording equipment. The performance of the model is assessed in Speaker Dependent (SD), Speaker Independent (SI), corpus dependent (CD) and cross corpus (CC) modes. Experimental results indicate that the proposed model with fixed weights approach outperformed the adaptive weights initialization with in relatively minimal number of training epochs. These findings contribute to the development of robust and efficient models for articulatory feature prediction, paving the way for advancements in speech production research and applications.

Abstract: Non-Autoregressive Machine Translation (NAT) represents a groundbreaking advancement in Machine Translation, enabling the simultaneous prediction of output tokens and significantly boosting translation speeds compared to traditional auto-regressive (AR) models. Recent NAT models have adeptly balanced translation quality and speed, surpassing their AR counterparts. The widely employed Knowledge Distillation (KD) technique in NAT involves generating training data from pre-trained AR models, enhancing NAT model performance. While KD has consistently proven its empirical effectiveness and substantial accuracy gains in NAT models, its potential within Indic languages has yet to be explored. This study pioneers the evaluation of NAT model performance for Indic …languages, focusing mainly on Kashmiri to English translation. Our exploration encompasses varying encoder and decoder layers and fine-tuning hyper-parameters, shedding light on the vital role KD plays in facilitating NAT models to capture variations in output data effectively. Our NAT models, enhanced with KD, exhibit sacreBLEU scores ranging from 16.20 to 22.20. The Insertion Transformer reaches a SacreBLEU of 22.93, approaching AR model performance. Show more

Abstract: Predicting the remaining life of aircraft engines is paramount in aviation maintenance management. It helps formulate maintenance schedules, reduce maintenance expenses, and enhance flight safety. Traditional methods for predicting the remaining life of an engine suffer from significant errors and limited generalization capabilities. This paper introduces a predictive model based on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks and Feedforward Neural Networks (FNN) to improve prediction accuracy. Furthermore, the model’s hyperparameters undergo optimization using the Gannet Optimization Algorithm (GOA). Leveraging the N-CMAPSS dataset for prediction and transfer learning experiments, the results highlight the significant advantages of the proposed model in forecasting the …remaining life of aircraft engines. When subjected to training and testing on the DS02 equipment dataset, the root mean square error (RMSE) registers at 5.04. At that time, the score function reached a value of 1.39, surpassing the performance of current state-of-the-art prediction methods. Additionally, in terms of its transfer learning capabilities, the model demonstrates minimal fluctuations in RMSE when applied directly to datasets of various other engine models. It consistently maintains a high level of predictive accuracy. Show more

Abstract: GLOBOCAN 2020 states that, after lung cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer worldwide, affecting many women [1 ]. AI-based computer-assisted detection/diagnosis techniques can assist radiologists in diagnosing breast cancer earlier. Mammography is one of the most widely used and effective methods for detecting and treating breast cancer. This research proposes a customised deep-learning model for breast cancer categorization. To effectively categorise the breast cancer mammography image, two customised CNN models are proposed. Three real-time datasets such as MIAS, CBIS-DDSM, and INbreast were used to evaluate the efficacy of the proposed categorization strategy. The results show that the proposed …method effectively classifies the image and obtains 98.78%, 97.84% and 96.92% accuracy for the datasets MIAS, INbreast and CBIS-DDSM. Show more

Abstract: In recent years, multiple studies have highlighted the growing correlation between breast density and the risk of developing breast cancer. In this research, the performance of two convolutional neural network architectures, VGG16 and VGG19, was evaluated for breast density classification across three distinct scenarios aimed to compare the masking effect on the models performance. These scenarios encompass both binary classification (fatty and dense) and multi-class classification based on the BI-RADS categorization, utilizing a subset of the ABC-Digital Mammography Dataset. In the first experiment, focusing on cases with no masses, VGG16 achieved an accuracy of 93.33% and 90.00% for two and …four-class classification. The second experiment, which involved cases with benign masses, yielded a remarkable accuracy of 95.83% and 93.33% with VGG16, respectively. In the third and last experiment, an accuracy of 88.00% was obtained using VGG16 for the two-class classification, while VGG19 delivered an accuracy of 93.33% for the four-class classification. These findings underscore the potential of deep learning models in enhancing breast density classification, with implications for breast cancer risk assessment and early detection. Show more

Abstract: The body size parameter of cattle is an important index reflecting the growth and development and health condition of cattle. The traditional manual contact measurement is not only a large workload and difficult to measure, but also prone to problems such as affecting the normal life habits of cattle. In this paper, we address this problem by proposing a contactless body size measurement method for cattle based on machine vision. Firstly, the cattle is confined to a fixed space using a position-limiting device, and images of the body of the cattle are taken from three directions: top, left, and right, …using multiple cameras. Secondly, the image is segmented using a fuzzy clustering algorithm based on neighborhood adaptive local spatial information improvement, and the image is processed to extract the contour images of the top view and side view. The key points of body measurements were extracted using interval division and curvature calculation for the side view images, and the key point information was extracted using skeleton extraction and pruning for the top view images, which realized the measurements of body height(BH), rump height(RH), body slanting length(BSL), and abdominal circumference(AC) parameters of the cattle. The correlation between body size and weight data obtained by contactless methods was investigated and the modeled using one-factor linear regression, one-factor nonlinear regression, multivariate stepwise regression, RBF network fitting, BP neural network fitting, support vector machine, and particle swarm optimization-based support vector machine methods, respectively. Information on body size parameters was collected from 137 cattles, and the results showed that the maximum errors between the measured and actual values of BH, RH, BSL and AC were 5.0%, 4.4%, 3.6%, and 5.5%, respectively. Correlation of BH, RH, BSL and AC with weight obtained by non-contact methods was > 0.75. The BH parameter can be selected in the single-factor growth monitoring. The multi-body scale can reflect the growth status of cattle more comprehensively, in which RH, BSL and AC are important detection parameter; the multi-factor nonlinear model can reflect the growth characteristics of cattle more comprehensively. The contactless measurement method proposed in the paper can effectively improve the work efficiency and reduce the stress reaction of cattle, which is a long-term and effective monitoring method, and is of great significance in promoting accurate and welfare cattle rearing.

Abstract: The Internet of Things lies in establishing low-power and lossy networks created by interconnecting many wireless devices with limited resources. Fascinatingly, an IPv6 routing protocol for low-power and lossy networks has become a common practice for these applications. Even though this protocol addresses the challenges of low-power networks, many issues concerning the quality of service and energy consumption are open to the research community. The protocol relies on a destination-oriented directed acyclic graph, and the root selection depends on some constraints and metrics associated with an objective function (OF). The conventional OFs select parents based on a single metric, such …as the expected transmission count or the number of nodes to travel. The current paper proposes an enhancement to the OF metric, aiming to decrease node energy and enhance the quality of service. This improvement is achieved by the factors, including the received signal strength indicator, node distance, power, link quality indicator, and expected transmission count, to select reliable communication links. The minimum power needed for reliable communication is predicted from the received signal strength indicator, node distance, receiver power, and link quality indicator using a nonlinear support vector machine. The OF value of the candidate node is computed from the power level and expected transmission count combined using the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model. The proposed OF is implemented in the Cooja simulator and compared against minimum rank with hysteresis OF and OF zero. A considerable improvement in the packet delivery ratio and a 37.5% reduction in energy consumption is obtained. Show more

Abstract: Long-term evolution in wireless broadband communication aims to provide secure communication for users and a high data rate for a fourth-generation network. Even though the fourth-generation network provides security, some loopholes lead to several attacks on the fourth-generation network attacks. The denial-of-service attack occurs when the user communicates with a rogue base station, and the radio base station in fourth-generation long-term evolution networks ensures that the user is attached to the rogue node assigned network. The location leak attack occurs when the packets are sniffed to find any user’s location using its temporary mobile subscriber identity. Prevention of rogue base …station and location leak attacks helps the system achieve secure communication between the participating entities. Earlier works in long-term evolution mobility management do not address preventing attacks such as denial-of-service, rogue base stations and location leaks and suffer from computational costs while providing security features. Hence, the present paper addresses the vulnerability of these attacks. It also investigates how these attacks occur and exposes communication in the fourth-generation network. To mitigate these vulnerabilities, the paper proposes a novel authentication scheme. The proposed scheme is simulated using Network Simulator 3, and the security analysis of the proposed scheme is shown using AVISPA –a security tool. Numerical analysis demonstrates that the proposed scheme significantly reduces communication overhead and computational costs associated with the fourth-generation long-term evolution authentication mechanism.
