Abstract: With the rapid economic development and increasingly serious environmental problems, many regions have launched green credit policies. Green credit can reduce the loan interest rate of the environmental protection industry and lower the financing threshold. Traditional risk prediction methods cannot comprehensively evaluate the green credit risk of the enterprise based on the degree of green environmental protection and the industry environment in which the enterprise is located, resulting in the inconsistency between the credit financial risk prediction and the actual results, which increases the bank credit risk. In order to strengthen the management level of green credit and reduce the …probability of non-performing loans, a scientific risk assessment method was constructed by using a combination of automatic encoding network and bidirectional long short-term memory neural network model to predict the financial risks of green credit, driven by multi-modal data. Through the study of multimodal data, this paper took green credit financial risk as the research object, aggregated the information of various enterprises to improve the bank’s capital utilization rate, and also promoted enterprises to take the initiative to transform into the direction of green environmental protection. Finally, the experiment proved that multimodal data fusion model was more superior than random forest in risk prediction, reducing the bank’s non-performing loan rate by 3.1% and improving the bank’s risk control level.

Abstract: Due to its remarkable performance, the convolutional neural network (CNN) has gained widespread usage in image inpainting challenges. However, most of these CNN-based methods reconstruct images only in the spatial domain, which produces satisfactory outcomes for small-region inpainting tasks, but blurs the details and generates incomplete structures for large-region inpainting tasks with complex backgrounds. In this paper, we address the issue of large-region inpainting tasks by our novel Adaptive Fourier Neural Network . Specifically, in our network, a Fourier-based global receptive field module is introduced to incorporate frequency information and expand the receptive field by transforming local convolutions into …global convolutions, enabling the proposed network to transmit global information to the missing region. Furthermore, to better fuse spatial and frequency features, an attention-based joint space-frequency module is proposed to combine spatial and frequency information. Finally, to validate the effectiveness and robustness of our proposed method, we conduct qualitative and quantitative experiments on two popular datasets Paris StreetView and Places. The experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art methods by generating sharper, more coherent, and visually plausible inpainting results. Code will be released after this work published: https://github.com/langka9/AFNN.git . Show more

Abstract: In this technology world, education is also becoming one of the basic necessities of human life like food, shelter, and clothes. Even in day-to-day daily activities, the world is moving toward an automated process using technology developments. Some of the technology developments in day-to-day life activities are smartphone, internet activities, and home and office appliances. To cope with these advanced technologies, the persons must have basic educational qualification to understand and operate those appliances easily. Apart from this, the education helps the person to develop their personal growth in both knowledge and wealth. With the development of technologies, different Artificial …Intelligence techniques have been applied on the datasets to analyze these factors and enhance the teaching method. But the current techniques were applied to one or two data models that analyze either their educational performance or demographic variable. But these models were not sufficient for analyzing all the factors that affects the education. To overcome this, a single optimized machine-learning approach is proposed in this paper to analyze the factors that affect the education. This analysis helps the faculty to enhance their teaching methodology and understand the student’s mentality toward education. The proposed Hybrid Cuckoo search-particle swarm optimization was implemented on three datasets to determine the factors that affect the education. These optimal factors are determined by identifying their relations to the final results of an individual person. All these optimal factors are combined and grades are grouped to analyze the proposed optimization process performance using regression neural network. The proposed optimization-based neural network was tested on three data models and its performance analysis showed that the proposed model can achieve higher accuracy of 99% that affects the individual education. This shows that the proposed model can help the faculty to enhance their attention to the students individually. Show more

Abstract: In the expansive domain of data-driven research, the curse of dimensionality poses challenges such as increased computational complexity, noise sensitivity, and the risk of overfitting models. Dimensionality reduction is vital to handle high-dimensional datasets effectively. The pilot study disease dataset (PSD) with 53 features contains patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and Osteoarthritis (OA). Our work aims to reduce the dimension of the features in the PSD dataset, identify a suitable feature selection technique for the reduced-dimensional dataset, analyze an appropriate Machine Learning (ML) model, select significant features to predict the RA and OA disease and reveal significant features that predict …the arthritis disease. The proposed study, Progressive Feature Reduction with Varied Missing Data (PFRVMD), was employed to reduce the dimension of features by using PCA loading scores in the random value imputed PSD dataset. Subsequently, notable feature selection methods, such as backward feature selection, the Boruta algorithm, the extra tree classifier, and forward feature selection, were implemented on the reduced-dimensional feature set. The significant features/biomarkers are obtained from the best feature selection technique. ML models such as the K-Nearest Neighbour Classifier (KNNC), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Logistic Regression (LR), Naïve Bayes Classifier (NBC), Random Forest Classifier (RFC) and Support Vector Classifier (SVC) are used to determine the best feature selection method. The results indicated that the Extra Tree Classifier (ETC) is the promising feature selection method for the PSD dataset because the significant features obtained from ETC depicted the highest accuracy on SVC.

Abstract: By anticipating system defect-prone units, software-developing businesses aim to increase the quality of software. Despite the development of numerous Data Mining (DM) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques in the Software Defect Prediction (SDP) field, dealing with the uncertainty of datasets persists due to noise, data distribution, class overlapping, proposed model parameters, and old data. This uncertainty issue has a negative impact on the accuracy of software defect prediction. To overcome this limitation, a model-based hybridization of Ant Colony Optimization-inspired Fuzzy Rough Feature Selection (FRAC) followed by adapting the parameters of Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) with a novel algorithm called …Turbulent Flow of Water Optimization (TFWO) is recommended. The proposed model (FRAC+TFWANFIS) performed better than contemporary literature and other optimization algorithms in SDP, such as Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), Differential Evolution (DE), ANFIS, Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and Genetic Algorithm (GA). Also, the performance of the proposed model is superior to that of other conventional classification techniques such as Naïve Bayes (NB), Logistic Regression (LR), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Fuzzy Rough Nearest Neighbor (FRNN), Fuzzy Nearest Neighbor (FNN), Bagging, C4.5, Random Forest (RF), and K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN). Two datasets, PC3 and PC4, with large dimensions from the OPENML platform are used. The experiments are applied with regard to accuracy, Standard Deviation (SD), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Mean Square Error (MSE), and other measurement metrics. The uncertainty issue is addressed by the (FRAC+TFWANFIS) model with accuracy 90.8% and 91.1% for PC3 and PC4, respectively. Show more

Abstract: Online monitoring of cutting tools wear is an important component of advanced manufacturing technology, which can greatly improve the processing efficiency and reduce the production cost. In this paper, a cutting tools wear state prediction method based on acoustic imaging recognition is developed. By applying the advantages of the functional generalized inverse beamforming method in the sound field reconstruction, the acoustic signal is used as the carrier to reconstruct the three-dimensional space radiated sound field. And then, slice the reconstructed sound field image and input it into the convolutional neural network model as a sample, to process and classify the …image and mines the feature information related to state from the sound field image. By incorporating amplitude and phase information of the sound field, the presented method utilizes spatial domain mapping to accurately identify the noise source and address challenges such as low recognition rate and difficult diagnosis under weak fault conditions. Furthermore, the paper also demonstrates the recognition of sound field states through a fault experiment in sound box simulation, based on these theories. And the recognition of sound field states is achieved through a simulation fault experiment conducted on the sound box, thereby validating the feasibility of the state monitoring method based on pattern recognition of sound and image. Finally, the experimental object is selected as the four-edge carbide milling cutter, and the cutting tools wear state is monitored by integrating sound field reconstruction techniques with convolution feature extraction methods to validate the robustness of the proposed approach.

Abstract: Health assessment is one of the important theoretical bases for deciding whether the diversion tunnel can operate safely and stably. A project of the TBM diversion tunnel is taken as the research object to ensure the normal operation of the diversion tunnel. Based on measured data and considering multiple safety aspects such as structural response, durability, and external factors of the diversion tunnel, a TBM diversion tunnel structural health evaluation index system is established. A new method for the TBM diversion tunnel structural health comprehensive evaluation based on Analytic Hierarchy Process-Matter Element Extension-Variable Weight Theory (AMV) is proposed to explore …the impact of AMV fluctuation with the measured results of the indicators on the weight, closeness, and health grade of each evaluation index. The high sensitivity and high-risk evaluation indicators for the structural health of the diversion tunnels are identified. It is found that the variable weight varies with the changes in various indicator values, which can accurately evaluate the health status of tunnels in real-time. The characteristic values of the tunnel grade calculated by the AHP and the AMV are 1.589 and 1.695, respectively. The results of the corresponding interval diversion tunnel are the basic safety state of grade B. Except for the two evaluation indicators of concrete strength and slurry properties, the variable weight values and grade characteristic values of other evaluation indicators increase with the increase of indicator values. The four indicators of segment settlement, segment opening, segment misalignment, and segment cracks are more sensitive to the health of the TBM diversion tunnel. This AMV can accurately evaluate the health status of the diversion tunnel structure. The research results can provide references for later maintenance work and similar projects. Show more
