Abstract: With the development of artificial intelligence technology, the assessment method based on machine learning, especially the ensemble learning method, has attracted more and more attention in the field of credit assessment. However, most of the ensemble assessment models are complex in structure and costly in time for parameter tuning, few of them break through the limitations of lightweight, universal and efficient. This paper present a new ensemble model for personal credit assessment. First, considering the conflicts and differences among multiple sources of information, a new method is proposed to correct the category prior information by using the difference measure. Then, …the revised prior information is fused with the current sample information with the help of Bayesian data fusion theory. The model can integrate the advantages of multiple benchmark classifiers to reduce the interference of uncertain information. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed model, several typical ensemble classification models are selected and empirically studied using real customer credit data from a commercial bank in China, and the results show that among various assessment criteria: the proposed model not only effectively improves the multi-class classification performance, but also outperforms other advanced multi-class classification credit assessment models in terms of parameter tuning and generalizability. This paper supports commercial banks and other financial institutions examination and approval work. Show more

Abstract: Numerous people are interested in learning yoga due to the increased tension levels in the modern lifestyle, and there are a variety of techniques or resources available. Yoga is practiced in yoga centers, by personal instructors, and through books, the Internet, recorded videos, etc. As the aforementioned resources may not always be available, a large number of people will opt for self-study in fast-paced lifestyles. Self-learning makes it impossible to recognize an incorrect posture. Incorrect poses will have a negative effect on the patient’s health, causing severe agony and long-term chronic issues. Computer vision (CV)-related techniques derive pose features and …conduct pose analysis using non-invasive CV methods. The application of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to an inter-disciplinary field like yoga becomes quite difficult. Due to its potent feature learning ability, deep learning (DL) has recently achieved an impressive level of performance in classifying yoga poses. In this paper, an artificial algae optimizer with hybrid deep learning-based yoga pose estimation (AAOHDL-YPE) model is presented. The presented AAOHDL-YPE model analyzes yoga video clips to estimate pose. Utilizing Part Confidence Map and Part Affinity Field with bipartite equivalent and parsing, OpenPose can be employed to determine the joint location. The deep belief network (DBN) model is then used for Yoga recognition. Finally, the AAO algorithm is utilized to enhance the EfficientNet model’s recognition performance. The results of a comprehensive experimentation analysis reveal that the AAOHDL-YPE technique produces superior results in comparison to existing methods. Show more

Abstract: An increasing number of fake news combining text, images and other forms of multimedia are spreading rapidly across social platforms, leading to misinformation and negative impacts. Therefore, the automatic identification of multimodal fake news has become an important research hotspot in academia and industry. The key to multimedia fake news detection is to accurately extract features of both text and visual information, as well as to mine the correlation between them. However, most of the existing methods merely fuse the features of different modal information without fully extracting intra- and inter-modal connections and complementary information. In this work, we learn …physical tampered cues for images in the frequency domain to supplement information in the image space domain, and propose a novel multimodal frequency-aware cross-attention network (MFCAN) that fuses the representations of text and image by jointly modelling intra- and inter-modal relationships between text and visual information whin a unified deep framework. In addition, we devise a new cross-modal fusion block based on the cross-attention mechanism that can leverage inter-modal relationships as well as intra-modal relationships to complement and enhance the features matching of text and image for fake news detection. We evaluated our approach on two publicly available datasets and the experimental results show that our proposed model outperforms existing baseline methods. Show more

Abstract: Predicting the landslide-prone area is critical for various applications, including emergency response, land planning, and disaster mitigation. There needs to be a thorough landslide inventory in current studies and appropriate sampling uncertainty issues. Landslide risk mapping has expanded significantly as machine learning techniques have developed. However, one of the primary issues in Landslide Prediction is data imbalance (DI). This is problematic since it is challenging or expensive to generate an accurate inventory map of landslides based on previous data. This study proposes a novel landslide prediction method using Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) for generating the synthetic data, Synthetic Minority Oversampling …Technique (SMOTE) for overcoming the data imbalance problem, and Bee Collecting Pollen Algorithm (BCPA) for feature extraction. Combining 184 landslides and ten criteria, including topographic wetness index (TWI), aspect, distance from the road, total curvature, sediment transport index (STI), height, slope, stream, lithology, and slope length, a geographical database was produced. The data was generated using GAN, a Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN) technique to populate the dataset. The proposed DCNN-BCPA approach findings were merged with current machine learning methods such as Random Forests (RF), Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), k-Nearest Neighbours (k-NN), Decision Trees (DT), Support Vector Machine (SVM), logistic regression (LR). The model’s accuracy, precision, recall, f-score, and RMSE were measured using the following metrics: 92.675%, 96.298%, 90.536%, 96.637%, and 45.623%. This study suggests that harmonizing landslide data may have a substantial impact on the predictive capabilities of machine learning models. Show more

Abstract: Accurate identification and monitoring of aircraft on the airport surface can assist managers in rational scheduling and reduce the probability of aircraft conflicts, an important application value for constructing a "smart airport." For the airport surface video monitoring, there are small aircraft targets, aircraft obscuring each other, and affected by different weather, the aircraft target clarity is low, and other complex monitoring problems. In this paper, a lightweight model network for video aircraft recognition in airport field video in complex environments is proposed based on SSD network incorporating coordinate attention mechanism. First, the model designs a lightweight feature extraction network …with five feature extraction layers. Each feature extraction layer consists of two modules, Block_A and Block_I. The Block_A module incorporates the coordinate attention mechanism and the channel attention mechanism to improve the detection of obscured aircraft and to enhance the detection of small targets. The Block_I module uses multi-scale feature fusion to extract feature information with rich semantic meaning to enhance the feature extraction capability of the network in complex environments. Then, the designed feature extraction network is applied to the improved SSD detection algorithm, which enhances the recognition accuracy of airport field aircraft in complex environments. It was tested and subjected to ablation experiments under different complex weather conditions. The results show that compared with the Faster R-CNN, SSD, and YOLOv3 models, the detection accuracy of the improved model has been increased by 3.2% , 14.3% , and 10.9% , respectively, and the model parameters have been reduced by 83.9% , 73.1% , and 78.2% respectively. Compared with the YOLOv5 model, the model parameters are reduced by 38.9% when the detection accuracy is close, and the detection speed is increased by 24.4% , reaching 38.2fps, which can well meet the demand for real-time detection of aircraft on airport surfaces.

Abstract: Occult peritoneal metastasis often emerges in sick persons having matured gastric cancer (GC) and is inexpertly detected with presently feasible instruments. Due to the existence of peritoneal metastasis that prevents the probability of healing crucial operation, there relies upon a discontented requirement for an initial diagnosis to accurately recognize sick persons having occult peritoneal metastasis. The proffered paradigm of this chapter identifies the initial phases of occult peritoneal metastasis in GC. The initial phase accompanies metabolomics for inspecting biomarkers. If the sick person undergoes the initial signs of occult peritoneal metastasis in GC, early detection is conducted. Yet, the physical …prognosis of this cancer cannot diagnose it, and so, automated detection of the images by dissecting the preoperational Computed Tomography (CT) images by conditional random fields accompanying Pro-DAE (Post-processing Denoising Autoencoders) and the labeling in the images is rid by denoising strainers; later, the ensued images and the segmented images experience the Graph Convolutional Networks (GCN), and the outcome feature graph information experience the enhanced categorizer (Greywold and Cuckoo Search Naïve Bayes categorizer) procedure that is employed for initial diagnosis of cancer. Diagnosis of cancer at the initial phase certainly lessens the matured phases of cancer. Hence, this medical information is gathered and treated for diagnosing the sickness. Show more

Abstract: Background: Many neurodegenerative diseases affect human gait. Gait analysis is an example of a non-invasive manner to diagnose these diseases. Nevertheless, gait analysis is difficult to do because patients with different neurodegenerative diseases may have similar human gaits. Machine learning algorithms may improve the correct identification of these pathologies. However, the problem with many classification algorithms is a lack of transparency and interpretability for the final user. Methods: In this study, we implemented the PS -Merge operator for the classification, employing gait biomarkers of a public dataset. Results: The highest classification percentage was 83.77%, which means …an acceptable degree of reliability. Conclusions: Our results show that PS -Merge has the ability to explain how the algorithm chooses an option, i.e., the operator can be seen as a first step to obtaining an eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI).

Abstract: The utilization of green edge has emerged as a promising paradigm for the development of new energy vehicle (NEV). Nevertheless, the recharging of these vehicles poses a significant challenge in due to limited power resources and enormous transmission demands. A novel architecture based on Wifi-6 communication is proposed, which makes the most of heterogeneous edge nodes to achieve real-time processing and computation of tasks. To address the collaborative power resource optimization problem, the interference between different vehicles is considered, and the task offloading is optimized. In particular, the power contention among recharging clusters is modeled as an exact game and …a task offloading strategy model is proposed jointly with the Deep Q-Network (DQN) algorithm, which is employed by a secondary application. Thereby, the recharging efficiency and task offloading computation are optimized and improved. Results indicate that the total resource consumption is favorably improved with this architecture and algorithm and the Nash equilibrium is also demonstrated. Show more

Abstract: Traditional testimony and electronic endorsements are extremely challenging to uphold and defend, and there is a problem with challenging authentication. The identity of the student is typically not recognized when it comes to requirements for access to a student’s academic credentials that are scattered over numerous sites. This is an issue with cross-domain authentication methods. On the one hand, whenever the volume of cross-domain authentication requests increases dramatically, the response time can become intolerable because of the slow throughput associated with blockchain mechanisms. These systems still do not give enough thought to the cross-domain scenario’s anonymity problem. This research proposes …an effective cross-domain authentication mechanism called XAutn that protects anonymity and integrates seamlessly through the present Certificate Transparency (CT) schemes. XAutn protects privacy and develops a fast response correctness evaluation method that is based on the RSA (Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman) cryptographic accumulator, Zero Knowledge Proof Algorithm, and Proof of Continuous work consensus Algorithm (POCW). We also provide a privacy-aware computation authentication approach to strengthen the integrity of the authentication messages more securely and counteract the discriminatory analysis of malevolent requests. This research is primarily used to validate identities in a blockchain network, which makes it possible to guarantee their authenticity and integrity while also increasing security and privacy. The proposed technique greatly outperformed the current methods in terms of authentication time, period required for storage, space for storage, and overall processing cost. The proposed method exhibits a speed gain of authentication of roughly 9% when compared to traditional blockchain systems. The security investigation and results from experiments demonstrate how the proposed approach is more reliable and trustworthy. Show more

Abstract: The selection of an appropriate third-party logistics (3PL) provider has become an inescapable option for shippers in today’s business landscape, as the outsourcing of logistics activities continues to increase. Choosing the 3PL supplier that best meets their requirements is one of the most difficult difficulties that logistics consumers face. Effective decision-making (DM) is critical in dealing with such scenarios, allowing shippers to make well-informed decisions within a restricted timeframe. The importance of DM arises from the possible financial repercussions of poor decisions, which can result in significant financial losses. In this regard, we introduce p, q-spherical fuzzy set (p, q …-SFS), a novel concept that extends the concept of T-spherical fuzzy sets (T-SFSs). p, q- SFS is a comprehensive representation tool for capturing imprecise information. The main contribution of this article is to define the basic operations and a series of averaging and geometric AOs under p, q -spherical fuzzy (p, q -SF) environment. In addition, we establish several fundamental properties of the proposed aggregation operators (AOs). Based on these AOs, we propose a stepwise algorithm for multi-criteria DM (MCDM) problems. Finally, a real-life case study involving the selection of a 3PL provider is shown to validate the applicability of the proposed approach. Show more

Abstract: This paper proposes a new epidemic prediction model that hybridizes several models, such as the autoregressive integrated moving average model (ARIMA), random forest (RF), and response surface method (RSM). The modeling process based on ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) is particularly suitable for dealing with non-stationary and nonlinear data. ARIMA’s timeliness and difference have strong deterministic information extraction ability. RF is robust and stable, with fast speed, and strong generalization ability. Under the adjustability and correspondence of the response surface, the comprehensiveness of the model is well demonstrated. Taking the United States as an example, the proposed ARIMA-RF-RSM model is …used to explore the development mechanism of the early epidemic according to the data of the early epidemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The proposed model has high prediction accuracy (mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) is 1.97% and root mean square error (RSME) is 7.24%). It helps to take effective prevention and control measures in time. In addition, the model has universal applicability to the analysis of disease transmission in relevant areas. Show more

Abstract: This paper explores the relationship between fuzzy logic algebra and non associative groupoid. As a groupoid which can satisfy type-2 cyclic associative (T2CA) law, T2CA-groupoid is characterized by generalized symmetry. Fuzzy logic algebra is a major direction in the study of fuzzy logic. Residuated lattices are a class of fuzzy logic algebras with widespread applications. The inflationary pseudo general residuated lattice (IPGRL), a generalization of the residuated lattice, does not need to satisfy the associative law and commutative law. Moreover, the greatest element of IPGRL is no longer the identity element. In this paper, the notion of T2CA-IPGRL (IPGRL in …T2CA-groupoid) is proposed and its properties are investigated in combination with the study of IPGRL and T2CA-groupoid. In addition, the generalized symmetry and regularity of T2CA-groupoid are investigated based on the characteristics of commutative elements. Meanwhile, the decomposition of T2CA-root of band with T2CA-unipotent radical is studied as well. The result shows that every T2CA-root of band is the disjoint union of T2CA-unipotent radicals.

Abstract: Timely detection of building damage after a disaster can provide support and help in saving lives and reducing losses. The emergence of transfer learning can solve the problem of difficulty in obtaining several labeled samples to train deep models. However, some degree of differences exists among different scenarios, which may affect the transfer performance. Furthermore, in reality, data can be collected from multiple historical scenarios but cannot be directly combined using single-source domain adaptation methods. Therefore, this study proposes a multi-source variational domain adaptation (MVDA) method to complete the task of post-disaster building assessment. The MVDA method consists of two …stages: first, the distributions of each pair of source and target domains in specific feature spaces are aligned separately; second, the outputs of the pre-trained classifiers are aligned using domain-specific decision boundaries. This method maximizes the relevant information in the historical scene, solves the problem of inconsistent image classification in the current scene, and improves the migration efficiency from the history to the current disaster scene. The proposed approach is validated by two challenging multi-source transfer tasks using the post-disaster hurricane datasets. The average accuracy rate of 83.3% for the two tasks is achieved, obtaining an improvement of 0.9% compared with the state-of-the-art methods. Show more

Abstract: Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a strategy that leads the network via software by separating its control plane from the underlying forwarding plane. In support of a global digital network, multi-domain SDN architecture emerges as a viable solution. However, the complex and ever-evolving nature of network threats in a multi-domain environment presents a significant security challenge for controllers in detecting abnormalities. Moreover, multi-domain anomaly detection poses a daunting problem due to the need to process vast amounts of data from diverse domains. Deep learning models have gained popularity for extracting high-level feature representations from massive datasets. In this work, a novel …deep neural network architecture, supervised learning based LD-BiHGA (Low Dimensional Bi-channel Hybrid GAN Attention) system is designed to learn class-specific features for accurate anomaly detection. Two asymmetric GANs are employed for learning the normal and abnormal network flows separately. Then, to extract more relevant features, a bi-channel attention mechanism is added. This is the first study to introduce an innovative hybrid architecture that merges bi-channel hybrid GANs with attention models for the purpose of anomaly detection in a multi-domain SDN environment that effectively handles real-time unbalanced data. The suggested architecture demonstrates its effectiveness on three benchmark datasets, achieving an average accuracy improvement of 7.225% on balanced datasets and 3.335% on imbalanced datasets compared to previous intrusion detection system (IDS) architectures in the literature.

Abstract: For the purpose of real-time monitoring the hazard information on the electric power construction site, a personal safety monitoring system based on Artificial intelligence internet of things (AIoT) technology is designed. After the system sensing layer collects the gas information of the construction site through the gas sensor, limit current oxygen sensor and DS1820B temperature sensor, the edge computing device of the edge layer directly stores its calculation in the database of the platform layer through the data gateway. The Artificial Intelligence (AI) analysis module of this layer invokes the monitoring data of the power construction site of the database, …and uses the personal safety identification method of the power construction site based on artificial intelligence technology, to complete the abnormal identification of monitoring data and realize personal safety monitoring. In addition, the system is also equipped with a power-fail detection module, which can collect the working voltage through the voltage transformer and compare it with the mains power standard to judge whether there is a power-fail risk, so as to prevent the problem of threatening personal safety due to the power-fail of the energized equipment. After testing, the system can monitor the operation status of the construction site in real time to protect personal safety. Show more

Abstract: Data mining is one of the emerging technologies used in many applications such as Market analysis and Machine learning. Temporal data mining is used to get a clear knowledge about current trend and to predict the upcoming future. The rudimentary challenge in introducing a data mining procedure is, processing time and memory consumption are highly increasing while trying to improve the accuracy, precision or recall. As well as, while trying to reduce the processing time or memory consumption, accuracy, precision and recall values are reducing significantly. So, for improving the performance of the system and to preserve the memory and …processing time, Three-Dimensional Fuzzy FP-Tree (TDFFPT) is proposed for Temporal data mining. Three functional modules namely, Three-Dimensional Temporal data FP-Tree (TTDFPT), Fuzzy Logic based Temporal Data Tree Analyzer (FTDTA) and Temporal Data Frequent Itemset Miner (TDFIM) are integrated in the proposed method. This algorithm scans the database and generates frequent patterns as per the business need. Every time a client purchases a new item, it gets stored in the recent database layer instead of rescanning the entire records which are placed in the old layer. The results obtained shows that the performance of the proposed model is more efficient than that of the existing algorithm in terms of overall accuracy, processing time, reduction in the memory utilization, and the number of databases scans. In addition, the proposed model also provides improved decision making and accurate pattern prediction in the time series data. Show more

Abstract: Intelligent Transportation Systems have become integral to daily life, with VANETs (vehicular ad-hoc networks) playing the pivotal role. VANETs, the subsets of MANETs, employ vehicles as nodes to establish intelligent transport systems. However, due to critical applications such as military use, these networks are susceptible to attacks. With features like high mobility, dynamic network topology, and coverage issues, security breaches are a concern. This necessitates a secure routing algorithm to mitigate attacks and ensure message delivery. In our study, we utilize the UNSW-NB15 intrusion detection dataset to develop training and testing models. Our proposed novel intrusion detection system employs a …feature selection algorithm that prioritizes significant arriving traffic attributes. This algorithm enhances abnormal activity detection while minimizing associated features. To achieve this, we modify the Conditional Random Field algorithm with fuzzy-based rules, resulting in a more efficient selection of influential and contributing features for detecting attacks such as DoS, Worms, Fuzzers, and Shellcode. Through appropriate feature selection using the modified Conditional Random Field and Support Vector Machine classification system in our experiments, we demonstrate a notable increase in security by reducing the false positive rate. Additionally, our approach excels in detecting accuracy of Fuzzers (98.86%), DoS (98.80%), Worms (34.45%), and Shellcode (89.308%), ultimately enhancing network performance. These findings underscore the effectiveness of our proposed method in enhancing intrusion detection and overall network efficiency. Show more

The basis for the success of this SFL algorithm is the ability to exchange information among a group of individuals which phenomenally explores the search space. SFL improves the overall lifespan of the network, the cost of connection …among the sensors, to enhance the equality of coverage among the sensors and targets, reduced sensor count for increased coverage, etc. When it comes to coverage connectivity issues, each target has to be covered using k sensors to avoid the loss of data and m sensors connected enhance the lifespan of the network. When the targets are covered by k sensors then the loss of data will be reduced to an extended manner. When the sensors are connected with m other sensors then the connectivity among the sensors will not go missing and hence the lifespan of the network will be improved significantly. Therefore, the sensor node number in coverage indicates the total number of sensor nodes utilised to cover a target, and the number of sensor nodes in connected reflects the total number of sensor nodes that provide redundancy for a single failed sensor node. Connectivity between sensor nodes is crucial to the network’s longevity. The entire network backbone acts strategically when all the sensors are connected with one or the other to pertain to the connectivity of the network. Coverage is yet another key issue regarding the loss of data. The proposed algorithm solves the connectivity of sensors and coverage of targets problems without weighted sum approach. The proposed algorithm is evaluated and tested under different scenarios to show the significance of the proposed algorithm. Show more

Abstract: Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET) Technology is advancing due to the convergence of VANET and cloud computing technologies, Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET) entities can benefit from the cloud service provider’s favourable storage and computing capabilities. Cloud computing, the processing and storage capabilities provided by various cloud service providers, would be available to all VANET enterprises. Digital Twin helps in creating a digital view of the Vehicle. It focuses on the physical behaviour of the Vehicle as well as the software it alerts when it finds issues with the performance. The representation of the Vehicle is created using intelligent sensors, which are …in OBU of VANET that help collect info from the product. The author introduces the Cloud-based three-layer key management for VANET in this study. Because VANET connections can abruptly change, critical negotiation verification must be completed quickly and with minimal bandwidth. When the Vehicles are in movement, we confront the difficulty in timely methods, network stability, and routing concerns like reliability and scalability. We must additionally address issues such as fair network access, inappropriate behaviour identification, cancellation, the authentication process, confidentiality, and vehicle trustworthiness verification. The proposed All-Wheel Control (AWC) method in this study may improve the safety and efficiency of VANETs. This technology would also benefit future intelligent transportation systems. The Rivest–Shamir–Adleman (RSA) algorithm and Chinese Remainder Theorem algorithms generate keys at the group, subgroup, and node levels. The proposed method produces better results than the previous methods. Show more

Abstract: Tunnels water leakage detection in complex environments is difficult to detect the edge information due to the structural similarity between the region of water seepage and wet stains. In order to address the issue, this study proposes a model comprising a multilevel transformer encoder and an adaptive multitask decoder. The multilevel transformer encoder is a layered transformer to extract the multilevel characteristics of water leakage information, and the adaptive multitask decoder comprises the adaptive network branches. The adaptive network branches generate the ground truths of wet stains and water seepage through the threshold value and transmit them to the network …for training. The converged network, the U-net, fuses coarse images from the adaptive multitask decoder, and the fusion images are the final segmentation results of water leakage in tunnels. The experimental results indicate that the proposed model achieves 95.1% Dice and 90.4% MIOU, respectively. This proposed model demonstrates a superior level of precision and generalization when compared to other related models. Show more

Abstract: Heart disease (HD) is a leading cause of mortality worldwide, emphasizing the need for accurate and efficient detection and classification methods. Recently, Blockchain (BC) provides seamless and secure sharing of heart disease data amongst healthcare providers, specialists, and researchers. This allows collaborative efforts, data exchange, and integration of diverse datasets, leading to a more comprehensive analysis and accurate detection of heart diseases. BC provides a decentralized and tamper-proof platform for storing sensitive patient data related to heart disease. This ensures the integrity and security of the data, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or data manipulation. Therefore, this study presents …a new blockchain-assisted heart disease detection and classification model with feature selection with optimal fuzzy logic (BHDDC-FSOFL) technique. The presented BHDDC-FSOFL technique uses BC technology to store healthcare data securely. In addition, the disease detection module encompasses the design of biogeography teaching and learning-based optimization (BTLBO) algorithm for feature selection (FS) procedure. Moreover, an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) classifier can be exploited for HD detection and classification. Furthermore, the ebola search optimization (ESO) algorithm is used for the parameter tuning of the ANFIS classifier. The integration of ANFIS classifier enables the modeling of uncertainty and imprecision in HD data, while metaheuristic algorithms aid in optimizing the classification process. Additionally, the utilization of BC technology ensures secure and transparent storage and sharing of healthcare data. To demonstrate the enhanced HD classification results of the BHDDC-FSOFL technique, a detailed experimental analysis was made on the HD dataset. The extensive result analysis pointed out the improved performance of the BHDDC-FSOFL technique compared to recent approaches in terms of different measures. Therefore, the proposed model offers a reliable and privacy-enhancing solution for healthcare providers and patients in a BC-assisted healthcare environment. Show more

Abstract: To achieve the carbon neutrality goal, enterprises should consider not only the development of new low-carbon emission projects but also the adjustment of the existing high-carbon emission projects. This paper discusses a multi-period project adjustment and selection (MPPAS) problem under the carbon tax and carbon quota policies. First, we propose an uncertain mean-chance MPPAS model for maximizing the profit of the project portfolio under the carbon tax and carbon quota policies. Then, we provide the deterministic equivalent of the proposed model and conduct the theoretical analysis of the impact of carbon tax and carbon quota policies. Next, we propose an …improved adaptive genetic algorithm to solve the proposed model. Finally, we give numerical experiments to verify the proposed algorithm’s performance and show the proposed model’s applicability. Research has shown that the government can achieve the carbon neutrality goal by determining reasonable carbon tax and carbon quota policies, and companies can make the optimal investment decisions for the project portfolio by the proposed model. In addition, the proposed algorithm has good performances in robustness, convergence speed, and global convergence. Show more

Abstract: Liver cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide and poses a significant challenge to physicians in terms of accurate diagnosis and treatment. AI-powered segmentation and classification algorithms can play a vital role in assisting physicians in detecting and diagnosing liver tumors. However, liver tumor classification is a difficult task due to factors such as noise, non-homogeneity, and significant appearance variations in cancerous tissue. In this study, we propose a novel approach to automatically segmenting and classifying liver tumors. Our proposed framework comprises three main components: a preprocessing unit to enhance picture contrast, a Masked Recurrent Convolutional Neural Network (RCNN) …for liver segmentation, and a pixel-wise classification unit for identifying abnormalities in the liver. When our models are applied to the challenging MICCAI’2027 liver tumor segmentation (LITS) database, we achieve Dice similarity coefficients of 96% and 98% for liver segmentation and lesion identification, respectively. We also demonstrate the efficiency of our proposed framework by comparing it with similar strategies for tumor segmentations. The proposed approach achieved high accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and F1 score parameters for liver segmentation and lesion identification. These results were evaluated using the Dice similarity coefficient and compared with similar strategies for tumor segmentation. Our approach holds promise for improving the accuracy and speed of liver tumor detection and diagnosis, which could have significant implications for patient outcomes. Show more

Abstract: Microaneurysms, tiny, circular red dots that occur in retinal fundus images, are one of the earliest symptoms of diabetic retinopathy. Because microaneurysms are small and delicate, detecting them can be difficult. Their small size and cunning character make automatic detection of them difficult. In this study, a novel encoder-decoder network is proposed to segment the MAs automatically and accurately. The encoder part mainly consists of three parts: a low-level feature extraction module composed of a dense connectivity block (Dense Block), a High-resolution Block (HR Block), and an Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling (ASPP) module, of which the latter two modules are …used to extract high-level information. Therefore, the network is named a Multi-Level Features based Deep Convolutional Neural Network (MF-DCNN). The proposed decoder takes advantage of the multi-scale features from the encoder to predict MA regions. Compared with the existing methods on three datasets, it is proved that the proposed method is better than the current excellent methods in the segmentation results of the normal and abnormal fundus. In the case of fewer network parameters, MF-DCNN achieves better prediction performance on intersection over union (IoU), dice similarity coefficient (DSC), and other evaluation metrics. MF-DCNN is lightweight and able to use multi-scale features to predict MA regions. It can be used to automatically segment the MA and assist in computer-aided diagnosis. Show more

Abstract: The performance of Interval type-2 fuzzy logic system (IT2FLS) can be affected by many factors including the type of reduction methodology followed and the kind of membership function applied. Further, a particular membership function is influenced by its construction, the type of optimisation and adaptiveness applied, and the learning scheme adopted. The available literature lags in providing detailed information about such factors affecting the performance of IT2FLS. In this work, an attempt has been made to comprehensively study the factors affecting the performance of IT2FLS by introducing a new trapezoidal-triangular membership function (TTMF). A real-time application of drilling operation has …been considered as an example for predicting temperature of the job, which is considered as one of the key state variables to evaluate. A detailed comparison based on membership functions (MFs) such as triangular membership function (TrMF), trapezoidal membership function (TMF), the newly introduced trapezoidal-triangular membership function (TTMF), semi-elliptic membership function (SEMF), and Gaussian membership function (GMF) has been performed and presented. Further, the average error rate obtained with two “type-reduction” methods such as “Wu-Mendel” uncertainty bounds and Center of sets type reduction (COS TR) has also been discussed. This study provides information for selecting a particular MF and “type reduction” scheme for the implementation of IT2FLS. Also, concludes that MF having fewer parameters such as GMF and SEMF possess significant advantages in terms of computation complexity compared to others. Show more

Abstract: Selecting appropriate Cluster Heads (CHs) can significantly enhance the lifetime of the wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Fuzzy logic is an effective approach for CH election. However, existing fuzzy-logic-based CH election methods usually require a large number of fuzzy rules, making the CH election procedure inefficiency. In this study, a data-driven CH election method is proposed based on a compact set of fuzzy rules, which are learned by group sparse Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (GS-TSK) fuzzy system. Specifically, five linguistic variables were first used as features to describe the status of sensor nodes. After that, a compact set of fuzzy rules were learned by …GS-TSK, and they were then used to predict the chance of each sensor node becoming a CH. Based on the selected CHs, the clusters are generated. Simulation results show that the GS-TSK can select CHs with fewer rules more accurately. Besides, by using the proposed DD-FLC, an average improvement of WSN was shown in terms of first node dead (FND), 10% of nodes dead (10PND), quarter of nodes dead (QND), half of nodes dead (HND).

Abstract: In order to effectively control the pressure and energy consumption of multiple air compressors within an acceptable range, an intelligent pressure switching control method for air compressor group control based on multi-agent RL is studied. This method uses sensors in the air compressor field control cabinet to collect data such as header pressure, air storage tank pressure, and air storage tank temperature and sends them to the edge data collector for integration. After integration, the main control cabinet sends them to the upper computer. Combined with the on-site collected data, a multi-agent-based air compressor group control model is designed to …convert multiple air compressors in the air compressor group control problem into a multi-agent mode, facilitating unified switching control of the air compressor group. Then, using the intelligent pressure switching control method based on deep Q-learning, driven by a neural network controller, the frequency of the frequency converter is adjusted to control the pressure at the outlet of the air compressor terminal header within the set value range, completing the pressure intelligent switching control. After testing, this method has good application results in pressure control, energy saving, and other aspects after being used for intelligent pressure switching control of air compressor group control.

Abstract: Diagnosis is given top priority in terms of farm resource allocation, because it directly affects the GDP of the country. Crop analysis at an early stage is important for verifying the efficient crop output. Computer vision has a number of intriguing and demanding concerns, including disease detection. After China, India is the world’s second-largest creator of wheat. However, there exist algorithms that can accurately identify the most prevalent illnesses of wheat leaves. To help farmers keep track on a large area of wheat plantation, leaf image and data processing techniques have recently been deployed extensively and in pricey systems. In …this study, a hybrid pre-processing practice is used to remove undesired distortions while simultaneously enhancing the images. Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) is used to segment the affected areas from the pre-processed images. The data is then incorporated into a disease classification model using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). It was tested using Kaggle data and several metrics to see how efficient the suggested approach was. This study demonstrates that the traditional Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) technique achieved 91.94% accuracy on the input images, but the hybrid pre-processing model with CNN achieved 95.06 percent accuracy.

Abstract: Early detection of diseases in men and women can improve treatment and reduce the risk involved in human life. Nowadays techniques which are non-invasive in nature are popularly used to detect the various types of diseases. Histopathological analysis plays a major role in finding the nature of the disease through medical images. Manual interpretation of these medical imaging takes time, is tedious, subjective, and can have human errors. It has also been discovered that the interpretation of these images varies amongst diagnostic labs. As computer power and memory capacity have increased, methodologies and medical image processing techniques have been developed …to interpret and analyse these images as a substitute for human involvement. The challenge lies in devising an efficient pre-processing technique that helps in analysing, processing and preparing the medical image for further diagnostics. This research provides a hybrid technique that reduces noise in the NITFI medical image by using a 2D adaptive median filter at level 1. The edges of the filtered medical image are preserved using the modified CLAHE algorithm which preserves the local contrast of the image. Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm extracts the ROI part of the image which helps in easy and accurate identification of the disease. All the three steps are run over the 3D image slices of a NIFTI image. The proposed method proves that it achieves close to ideal RMSE, PSNR and UQI values as well as achieves an average runtime of 37.193 seconds for EM per slice. Show more

Abstract: Rice is a staple meal that helps people worldwide access sufficient food. However, this crop has several illnesses, significantly lowering its production and quality. Because of this, it is imperative to conduct early disease detection to halt the spread of infections. Because of this, it is desirable to develop an automatic system that will help agronomists, pathologists, and indeed growers in directly diagnosing rice diseases. This would allow for preventative measures to be done as quickly as feasible. In this day and age of artificial intelligence, researchers have experimented with various learning approaches to discover diseases that can affect rice …plants. Deep learning has recently seen considerable use in many computer vision and image analysis fields, becoming one of the most prominent machine learning algorithms. Deep learning has also recently found substantial usage in many computer vision and picture analysis fields. On the other hand, deep learning methods have seen very little application in plant disease recognition, except for some ongoing research centered on the problem and using a public dataset of pictures magnified to show plant leaves. Because of their high computational complexity, which requires a huge memory cost, and the complexity of experimental materials’ backgrounds, which makes it difficult to train an efficient model, deep learning methods have only seen limited use in plant disease recognition. This is due to several factors, including the following: The Inception module was improved to recognise and detect rice plant illnesses in this research by substituting the original convolutions with architecture based on modified-Xception (M-Xception). In addition, ResNet extracts features by prioritising logarithm calculations over softmax calculations to get more consistent classification outcomes. The model’s training utilised a two-stage transfer learning process to produce an effective model. The results of the experiments reveal that the suggested approach can achieve the specified level of performance, with an average recognition fineness of 99.73% on the public dataset and 98.05% on the domestic dataset, respectively. Our proposed work is better as per existing methods and models. Show more

Abstract: Brain tumor is observed to be grown in irregular shape and presented deep inside the tissues that led to cancer. Human brain tumor identification and categorization are performed with high latency, but also an essential task for the medical experts. The assistance through the automated diagnosis is generally utilized for the advancement in the diagnosis ability in order to get superior accuracy in brain tumor detection. Although the researches are enhancing the brain tumor detection performance, the highly challenging is to segment the brain tumor since it has variability concerning the tumor type, contrast, image modality and also in other …factors. To meet up all the challenges, a novel classification method is introduced using segmentation and machine learning approaches. Initially, the required images are collected from benchmark data sources. The input images are undergone for pre-processing stage, where it is done via “Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) and filtering methods”. Further, the pre-processed imagesare given as input to two classifier models as “Residual Network (ResNet) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU)”, in which the model provide the result as normal and abnormal images. In the second part, obtained abnormal image acts an input for segmentation step. In segmentation, it is needed to extract the relevant features by texture and spatial features. The resultant features are subjected for optimizing, where the optimal features are acquired through Adaptive Coyote Optimization Algorithm (ACOA). Then, the extracted features are fed into machine learning model like “Support Vector Machine (SVM), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and Random Forest (RF)” to render the segmented image. Finally, the hybrid classification named Hybrid ResGRUis developed by integrating the ResNet and GRU, where the hyper parameters are tuned optimally using developed ACOA, thus it is used for classifying the abnormal image that belongs to benign stage or malignant stage. The experimental results are evaluated, and its performance is analyzed by various metrics. Hence, the proposed classification model ensures effective segmentation and classification performance.

Abstract: The worldwide deforestation rate worsens year after year, ultimately resulting in a variety of severe implications for both mankind and the environment. In order to track the success of forest preservation activities, it is crucial to establish a reliable forest monitoring system. Changes in forest status are extremely difficult to manually annotate due to the tiny size and subtlety of the borders involved, particularly in regions abutting residential areas. Previous forest monitoring systems failed because they relied on low-resolution satellite images and drone-based data, both of which have inherent limitations. Most government organizations still use manual annotation, which is a …slow, laborious, and costly way to keep tabs on data. The purpose of this research is to find a solution to these problems by building a poly-highway forest convolution network using deep learning to automatically detect forest borders so that changes over time may be monitored. Here initially the data was curated using the dynamic decomposed kalman filter. Then the data can be augmented. Afterward the augmented image features can be fused using the multimodal discriminant centroid feature clustering. Then the selected area can be segmented using the iterative initial seeded algorithm (IISA). Finally, the level and the driver of deforestation can be classified using the poly-highway forest convolution network (PHFCN). The whole experimentation was carried out in a dataset of 6048 Landsat-8 satellite sub-images under MATLAB environment. From the result obtained the suggested methodology express satisfied performance than other existing mechanisms. Show more

Abstract: Optimizing the allocation of preschool education resources and improving the efficiency of resource allocation is of great strategic significance for the universal and inclusive development of preschool education and the realization of “education for young children". In recent years, the shift from high-speed development to high-quality development of the social economy has significantly improved the balanced development level of China’s preschool education industry. However, preschool education remains the weakest link in China’s education system and the most unfavorable aspect of educational resource allocation. Problems such as shortage of preschool education resources, insufficient investment, uneven regional development, imbalanced supply and demand …structure, low resource allocation efficiency, and “difficult to enter, expensive to enter” are still prominent. How to optimize resource allocation and improve resource utilization efficiency in the limited resources of preschool education is the key to achieving balanced, fair, coordinated, and high-quality development of preschool education. The county preschool education resource allocation level evaluation is MAGDM problems. Recently, the TODIM and TOPSIS technique was employed to cope with MAGDM issues.

Abstract: Sentiment analysis (SA)at the sentence, aspect, and document levels determines the sentiment of particular aspect phrases in a given sentence. Due to their capacity to extract sentiment information from text in aspect-level sentiment classification, neural networks (NNs) have achieved significant success. Generally speaking, sufficiently sizable training corpora are necessary for NNs to be effective. The performance of NN-based systems is reduced by the small size of the aspect-level corpora currently available. In this research, we suggest a gated bilateral recurrent neural network (G-Bi-RNN) as a foundation for multi-source data fusion, their system offers sentiment information that several sources. We develop …a uniform architecture specifically to include information from sentimental lexicons, including aspect- and sentence-level corpora. To further provide aspect-specific phrase representations for SA, we use G-Bi-RNN, a deep bilateral Transformer-based pre-trained language model. We assess our methods using SemEval 2014 datasets for laptops and restaurants. According to experimental findings, our method consistently outperforms cutting-edge techniques on all datasets. We use a number of well-known aspect-level SA datasets to assess the efficacy of our model. Experiments show that when compared to baseline models, the suggested model can produce state-of-the-art results. Show more

Abstract: Intuitionistic fuzzy (IF) information aggregation in multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) is a substantial stream that has attracted significant research attention. There are various IF aggregation operators have been suggested for extracting more informative data from imprecise and redundant raw information. However, some of the aggregation techniques that are currently being applied in IF environments are non-monotonic with respect to the total order, and suffer from high computational complexity and inflexibility. It is necessary to develop some novel IF aggregation operators that can surpass these imperfections. This paper aims to construct some IF aggregation operators based on Yager’s triangular norms to …shed light on decision-making issues. At first, we present some novel IF operations such as Yager sum, Yager product and Yager scalar multiplication on IF sets. Based on these new operations, we propose the IF Yaeger weighted geometric operator and the IF Yaeger ordered weighted geometric operator, and prove that they are monotone with respect to the total order. Then, the focus on IF MCDM have motivated the creation of a new MCDM model that relies on suggested operators. We show the applicability and validity of the model by using it to select the most influential worldwide supplier for a manufacturing company and evaluate the most efficient method of health-care disposal. In addition, we discuss the sensitivity of the proposed operator to decision findings and criterion weights, and also analyze it in comparison with some existing aggregation operators. The final results show that the proposed operator is suitable for aggregating both IF information on “non-empty lattice" and IF data on total orders. Show more

Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT) devices installed in hospital direct data unceasingly; in this manner, energy usage augments with the number of broadcasts too. In this paper, Reliable Cluster based Data Collection Framework (RCDCF) for IoT-Big Data Healthcare Applications (HA) is developed. During clustering process, the connected IoT devices are grouped into clusters. In clustering technique, the available IoT devices are gathered into groups. The device with high battery capacity and processing ability is selected as a cluster head (CH). Each member of the cluster is allocated multiple slots by applying a general function pooled by the Fog node and the …entire devices. To perceive and eliminate outliers from the sensor data, Density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) method is utilized. To forecast the objective and subjective behaviours of the equipments, a Random Forest Deep Neural Network (RF-DNN) based classification model is utilized.

Abstract: Coronavirus is a new pathogen that causes both the upper and lower respiratory systems. The global COVID-19 pandemic’s size, rate of transmission, and the number of deaths is all steadily rising. COVID-19 instances could be detected and analyzed using Computed Tomography scanning. For the identification of lung infection, chest CT imaging has the advantages of speedy detection, relatively inexpensive, and high sensitivity. Due to the obvious minimal information available and the complicated image features, COVID-19 identification is a difficult process. To address this problem, modified-Deformed Entropy (QDE) algorithm for CT image scanning is suggested. To enhance the number of training …samples for effective testing and training, the suggested method utilizes QDE to generate CT images. The retrieved features are used to classify the results. Rapid innovations in quantum mechanics had prompted researchers to use Quantum Machine Learning (QML) to test strategies for improvement. Furthermore, the categorization of corona diagnosed, and non-diagnosed pictures is accomplished through Quanvolutional Neural Network (QNN). To determine the suggested techniques, the results are related with other methods. For processing the COVID-19 imagery, the study relates QNN with other existing methods. On comparing with other models, the suggested technique produced improved outcomes. Also, with created COVID-19 CT images, the suggested technique outperforms previous state-of-the-art image synthesis techniques, indicating possibilities for different machine learning techniques such as cognitive segmentation and classification. As a result of the improved model training/testing, the image classification results are more accurate. Show more

Abstract: SLR, which assists hearing-impaired people to communicate with other persons by sign language, is considered as a promising method. However, as the features of some of the static SL could be the same as the feature in a single frame of dynamic Isolated Sign Language (ISL), the generation of accurate text corresponding to the SL is necessary during the SLR. Therefore, Edge-directed Interpolation-based Recurrent Neural Network (EI-RNN)-centered text generation with varied features of the static and dynamic Isolated SL is proposed in this article. Primarily, ISL videos are converted to frames and pre-processed with key frame extraction and illumination control. …After that, the foreground is separated with the Symmetric Normalised Laplacian-centered Otsu Thresholding (SLOT) technique for finding accurate key points in the human pose. The human pose’s key points are extracted with the Media Pipeline Holistic (MPH) pipeline approach and to improve the features of the face and hand sign, the resultant frame is fused with the depth image. After that, to differentiate the static and dynamic actions, the action change in the fused frames is determined with a correlation matrix. After that, to engender the output text for the respective SL, features are extracted individually as of the static and dynamic frames. It is obtained from the analysis that when analogized to the prevailing models, the proposed EI-RNN’s translation accuracy is elevated by 2.05% in INCLUDE 50 Indian SL based Dataset and Top 1 Accuracy 2.44% and Top 10 accuracy, 1.71% improved in WLASL 100 American SL.

Abstract: In this paper, the robust stability of nonlinear system with unknown perturbation is considered combining operator-based right coprime factorization and fuzzy control method from the input-output view of point. In detail, fuzzy logic system is firstly combined with operator-based right coprime factorization method to study the uncertain nonlinear system. By using the operator-based fuzzy controller, the unknown perturbation is formulated, and a sufficient condition of guaranteeing robust stability is given by systematic calculation, which reduces difficulties in designing controller and calculating inverse of Bezout identity. Implications of the results related to former results are briefly compared and discussed. Finally, a …simulation example is shown to confirm effectiveness of the proposed design scheme of this paper.

Abstract: In agriculture, selecting an “appropriate plant for an appropriate soil” is a crucial stage for all sorts of lands. There are different types of soil found in India. It is necessary to understand the features of the soil type to predict the types of crops cultivated in a particular soil. This leads to significant inconsistencies and errors in large-scale soil mapping. However, manually analyzing the soil type in the laboratory is cost-effective and time-consuming, yet it produces an inaccurate classification result. To overcome these challenges, a novel AQU-FRC Net (Aquila – Faster Regional Convolutional Neural Neural) is proposed for the …automatic prediction of soil and recommending suitable crops based on a soil-crop relationship database. The soil images were pre-processed using a Scalable Range-based Adaptive Bilateral Filter (SCRAB) for eliminating the noise artifacts from the images. The pre-processed images were classified using Faster-RCNN, which utilized MobileNet as a feature extraction network. The classification results were optimized by the Aquila optimization (AQU) algorithm that normalizes the parameters of the network to achieve better results. The proposed AQU-FRC Net achieves a high accuracy of 98.16% for predicting soil. The experimental results demonstrate that the model successfully predicts the soil when compared to other meta-heuristic-based methods. Show more

Abstract: In the era of big data, the complexity of data is increasing. Problems such as data imbalance and class overlap pose challenges to traditional classifiers. Meanwhile, the importance of imbalanced data has become increasingly prominent, it is necessary to find appropriate methods to enhance classification performance of classifiers on such datasets. In response, this paper proposes a mixed sampling method (ISODF-ENN) based on iterative self-organizing (ISODATA) denoising diffusion algorithm and edited nearest neighbors (ENN) data cleaning algorithm. The algorithm first uses iterative self-organizing clustering algorithm to divide minority class into different sub-clusters, then it uses denoising diffusion algorithm to generate …new minority class data for each sub-cluster, and finally it uses ENN algorithm to preprocess majority class data to remove the overlap with the minority class data. Each sub-cluster is oversampled according to sampling ratio, so that the oversampled minority class data also conforms to the distribution of original minority class data. Experimental results on keel datasets demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms other methods in terms of F-value and AUC, effectively addressing the issues of class imbalance and class overlap.

Abstract: Multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (multi-UAVs) formation shape refers to the geometric shape when multi-UAVs fly in formation and describes their relative positions. It plays a necessary role in multi-UAVs collaboration to improve performance, avoid collision, and provide reference for control. This study aims to determine the most appropriate multi-UAVs formation shape in a specific mission to meet different and even conflicting requirements. The proposed approach introduces requirement satisfaction and spherical fuzzy analytic network process (SFANP) to improve the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS). First, multi-UAVs capability criteria and their evaluation models are constructed. Next, performance …data are transformed into requirement satisfaction of capability and unified into a same scale. Qualitative judgments are made and quantified based on spherical fuzzy sets and nonlinear transformation functions are developed for benefit, cost, and interval metrics. Then, SFANP is used to handle interrelationships among criteria and determine their global weights, which takes decision vagueness and hesitancy into account and extends decision-makers’ preference domain onto a spherical surface. Finally, alternative formation shapes are ranked by their distances to the positive and negative ideal solution according to the TOPSIS. Furthermore, a case study of 9 UAVs performing a search-attack mission is set up to illustrate the proposed approach, and a comparative analysis is conducted to verify the applicability and credibility.
