Abstract: This paper proposes a lightweight human action recognition algorithm for pedestrian behavior recognition. First, the skeleton feature information is input into the HRNet network model. In order to selectively enhance more details containing the target features and suppress irrelevant or weak features, an external attention mechanism is added to the HRN child model. Secondly, in order to extract the temporal characteristics of the target feature vector and ensure the continuity of actions in human behavior recognition, a dual-stream network based on HRNet and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is constructed; finally, due to the huge model, it cannot be well transplanted …to embedded. Therefore, this paper uses depthwise separable convolution to lightweight the network model. The experimental results show that in terms of human behavior recognition, the method in this paper has better recognition accuracy than Two-stream, Multi-streamCNN, Cov3DJ, ConvNets, JTM, ASM-3, RF+SW, hd-CNN and TPSMMs. Show more

Abstract: The paper addresses the optimization challenges in cloud resource task execution within the container paradigm, introducing the Multi-Objective Comprehensive Container Scheduling and Resource Allocation (MOCCSRA) scheme. It aims to enhance cost-effectiveness and efficiency by utilizing the Tuna Swarm Optimization (TSO) technique to optimize task planning and resource allocation. This novel approach considers various objectives for task scheduling optimization, including energy efficiency, compliance with service level agreements (SLAs), and quality of service (QoS) metrics like CPU utilization, memory usage, data transmission time, container-VM correlation, and container grouping. Resource allocation decisions are guided by the VM cost and task completion period factors. …MOCCSRA distinguishes itself by tackling the multi-objective optimization challenge for task scheduling and resource allocation, producing non-dominated Pareto-optimal solutions. It effectively identifies optimal tasks and matches them with the most suitable VMs for deploying containers, thereby streamlining the overall task execution process. Through comprehensive simulations, the results demonstrate MOCCSRA’s superiority over traditional container scheduling methods, showcasing reductions in resource imbalance and notable enhancements in response times. This research introduces an innovative and practical solution that notably advances the optimization field for cloud-based container systems, meeting the increasing demand for efficient resource utilization and enhanced performance in cloud computing environments.

Abstract: As an emerging concept in knowledge management (KM), green knowledge management plays a crucial role in the sustainable development of enterprises. A reasonable assessment of an enterprise’s green knowledge management capabilities can help the company effectively manage the embedded green knowledge within its operational processes, thereby achieving self-reinforcement of competitive advantages for the enterprise. Therefore, this paper proposes a multi-criteria classification method based on interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy entropy weight method-TOPSIS-Sort-B (EWM-TOPSIS-Sort-B) to assess the green knowledge management capabilities of enterprises. In this method, expert assessments are expressed using interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets. A new entropy weight method is introduced into …TOPSIS-Sort-B to determine the weights of various evaluation indicators, and TOPSIS-Sort-B is employed to classify and rate each evaluation scheme. It is worth noting that this paper has improved the TOPSIS-Sort-B method by not converting interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets into precise values throughout the entire evaluation process, thus avoiding information loss. Finally, we applied a case of knowledge management capability assessment to validate the proposed method, and conducted sensitivity analysis and comparative analysis on this approach. The analysis results indicate that variations in the parameter ϑ of the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy aggregation operator lead to changes in criterion weights and the comprehensive evaluation matrix, resulting in unordered changes in the final classification results. Due to the absence of transformation of interval values in this study, compared to the four classification methods of TOPSISort-L, the classification results are more detailed, and the evaluation levels are more pronounced.

Abstract: News summary generation is an important task in the field of intelligence analysis, which can provide accurate and comprehensive information to help people better understand and respond to complex real-world events. However, traditional news summary generation methods face some challenges, which are limited by the model itself and the amount of training data, as well as the influence of text noise, making it difficult to generate reliable information accurately. In this paper, we propose a new paradigm for news summary generation using Large Language Model(LLM) with powerful natural language understanding and generative capabilities. We also designed News Summary Generator (NSG), …which aims to select and evolve the event pattern population and generate news summaries, so that using LLM extracts structured event patterns from events contained in news paragraphs, evolves the event pattern population using a genetic algorithm, and selects the most adaptive event patterns to input into LLM in order to generate news summaries. The experimental results show that the news summary generator is able to generate accurate and reliable news summaries with some generalization ability. Show more

Abstract: We investigate the semi-online problem of MapReduce scheduling on two parallel machines. We aim to minimize the makespan. Jobs are released over-list, and each job includes a map task and a reduce task. The job’s map task can be preemptive and scheduled simultaneously onto different machines, however, the reduce task is non-preemptive. The job’s reduce task needs to wait for its map task to complete before starting. We consider the following two versions: Firstly, we know the processing time of the largest reduce task beforehand, and then design a 4/3-competitive optimal semi-online algorithm. Secondly, we know in advance the value …of the reduce task with the largest processing time and the the total sum of the processing times. Then we present a 4/3-competitive semi-online algorithm. We conclude that the algorithm is the best possible when the largest reduce task meets certain conditions. Show more

Abstract: Effective fire detection can identify the source of the fire faster, and reduce the risk of loss of life and property. Existing methods still fail to efficiently improve models’ multi-scale feature learning capabilities, which are significant to the detection of fire targets of various sizes. Besides, these methods often overlook the accumulation of interference information in the network. Therefore, this paper presents an efficient fire detection network with boosted multi-scale feature learning and interference immunity capabilities (MFII-FD). Specifically, a novel EPC-CSP module is designed to enhance backbone’s multi-scale feature learning capability with low computational consumption. Beyond that, a pre-fusion module …is leveraged to avoid the accumulation of interference information. Further, we also construct a new fire dataset to make the trained model adaptive to more fire situations. Experimental results demonstrate that, our method obtains a better detection accuracy than all comparative models while achieving a high detection speed for video in fire detection task. Show more

Abstract: The idea of sustainable development has become more important in resolving environmental issues and fostering a healthy coexistence of human endeavors with the natural world. Internet of Things (IoT) technology is expanding across many industries, and it is also advancing in agriculture and the agricultural environment. The planning and design for intelligent gardens using a unique Sunflower Optimized-Enhanced Support Vector Machine (SFO-ESVM) is thoroughly analyzed and researched in this study. The development and plan of intelligent gardens are investigated using agricultural IoT technologies and agricultural landscapes. First, we used the SFO method to select the best garden plan inspired by …the mathematical patterns observed in sunflower seed groupings. Next, we use an ESVM model to assess how well each plant species fits into the planned garden. The SFO-ESVM considers several variables, such as soil qualities, climatic information, plant traits, and ecological requirements, to choose the best plants. Additionally, we create an intelligent control system that combines sensors, actuators, and IoT technologies to track and regulate the environmental parameters of the garden. The SFO-ESVM-based conceptual planning and design framework for smart gardens is proposed and systematically extended to give scientific direction for the agricultural IoT of smart gardens. The proposed method was then tested in a real-world garden environment. The outcomes show that the SFO-ESVM framework-based intelligent design and execution of the sustainable development-oriented garden combines ecological principles with innovative optimization methods.

Abstract: This paper proposes a watermarking method that can be used for the copyright protection of DNN models, utilizing learnable block-wise image transformation techniques and a secret key to embed a watermark. A black-box watermarking approach is used, which does not require a specific predefined training or trigger set, allowing for the remote verification of model ownership. As a result, this method can achieve copyright protection using authentication methods for DNN models. Results of experiments on established datasets [1, 2 ] indicate that the original watermark is not easily overwritten by pirated watermarks. Moreover, its performance in pruning attack experiments is …similar to that observed in the studies cited above. However, our approach demonstrates stronger robustness against fine-tuning attacks, while also achieving higher image classification accuracy. Show more

Abstract: The detection of communication signals in heterogeneous electromagnetic environments currently relies primarily on a one-dimensional statistical feature threshold method. However, this approach is highly sensitive to dynamic changes in the environment, fluctuations in signal-to-noise ratios, and complex noise. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a novel time-frequency diagram based on high-order accumulation for signal detection. Traditional time-frequency diagrams suffer from poor noise suppression ability and unclear features. However, higher-order cumulants can effectively overcome these shortcomings. Currently, methods based on higher-order cumulants are typically limited to one-dimensional signals. Yet, two-dimensional time-frequency signal diagrams can represent a broader array of features. …This paper employs higher-order accumulation to extract time-frequency features from the received signal, thereby transforming the conventional radio detection problem into an image recognition challenge. By merging the advantages of higher-order accumulations and time-frequency diagrams, we propose the use of higher-order accumulation time-frequency diagrams for signal detection. Extensive experimental simulations demonstrate that the proposed time-frequency diagram exhibits strong anti-noise performance and effectively suppresses frequency bias from multiple perspectives. The performance of the Higher-Order Cumulant-Time Frequency (HOC-TF) indicated lower Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) compared with the Short-Time Fourier Transform-Time Frequency (STFT-TF) and Wavelet Transform-Time Frequency (WT-TF). Additionally, compared to the STFT-TF and WT-TF methodologies, the novel time-frequency diagram introduced demonstrates superior stability using the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) method. Moreover, by combining the new time-frequency diagram with the deep learning YOLOV5 network, signal detection and modulation identification of communication signals can be achieved. Show more
