Abstract: In today’s data-rich era, there is a growing need for developing effective similarity and dissimilarity measures to compare vast datasets. It is desirable that these measures reflect the intrinsic structure of the domain of these measures. Recently, it was shown that the space of finite probability distributions has a symmetric structure generated by involutive negation mapping probability distributions into their “opposite” probability distributions and back, such that the correlation between opposite distributions equals –1. An important property of similarity and dissimilarity functions reflecting such symmetry of probability distribution space is the co-symmetry of these functions when the similarity between probability …distributions is equal to the similarity between their opposite distributions. This article delves into the analysis of five well-known dissimilarity functions, used for creating new co-symmetric dissimilarity functions. To conduct this study, a random dataset of one thousand probability distributions is employed. From these distributions, dissimilarity matrices are generated that are used to determine correlations similarity between different dissimilarity functions. The hierarchical clustering is applied to better understand the relationships between the studied dissimilarity functions. This methodology aims to identify and assess the dissimilarity functions that best match the characteristics of the studied probability distribution space, enhancing our understanding of data relationships and patterns. The study of these new measures offers a valuable perspective for analyzing and interpreting complex data, with the potential to make a significant impact in various fields and applications.

Abstract: Recently, Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) using aggregating neighborhood collaborative information have shown effectiveness in recommendation. However, GNNs-based models suffer from over-smoothing and data sparsity problems. Due to its self-supervised nature, contrastive learning has gained considerable attention in the field of recommendation, aiming at alleviating highly sparse data. Graph contrastive learning models are widely used to learn the consistency of representations by constructing different graph augmentation views. Most current graph augmentation with random perturbation destroy the original graph structure information, which mislead embeddings learning. In this paper, an effective graph contrastive learning paradigm CollaGCL is proposed, which constructs graph augmentation by …using singular value decomposition to preserve crucial structure information. CollaGCL enables perturbed views to effectively capture global collaborative information, mitigating the negative impact of graph structural perturbations. To optimize the contrastive learning task, the extracted meta-knowledge was propagate throughout the original graph to learn reliable embedding representations. The self-information learning between views enhances the semantic information of nodes, thus alleviating the problem of over-smoothing. Experimental results on three real-world datasets demonstrate the significant improvement of CollaGCL over state-of-the-art methods. Show more

Abstract: Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) remote-sensing images have a wide range of applications in wildfire monitoring, providing invaluable data for early detection and effective management. This paper proposes an improved few-shot target detection algorithm tailored specifically for wildfire detection. The quality of UAV remote-sensing images is significantly improved by utilizing image enhancement techniques such as Gamma change and Wiener filter, thereby enhancing the accuracy of the detection model. Additionally, ConvNeXt-ECA is used to focus on valid information within the images, which is an improvement of ConvNeXt with the addition of the ECANet attention mechanism. Furthermore, multi-scale feature fusion is performed by …adding a feature pyramid network (FPN) to optimize the extracted small target features. The experimental results demonstrate that the improved algorithm achieves a detection accuracy of 93.2%, surpassing Faster R-CNN by 6.6%. Moreover, the improved algorithm outperforms other target detection algorithms YOLOv8, RT-DETR, YoloX, and SSD by 3.4%, 6.4%, 7.6% and 21.1% respectively.

Abstract: Precise video moment retrieval is crucial for enabling users to locate specific moments within a large video corpus. This paper presents Interactive Moment Localization with Multimodal Fusion (IMF-MF), a novel interactive moment localization with multimodal fusion model that leverages the power of self-attention to achieve state-of-the-art performance. IMF-MF effectively integrates query context and multimodal features, including visual and audio information, to accurately localize moments of interest. The model operates in two distinct phases: feature fusion and joint representation learning. The first phase dynamically calculates fusion weights for adapting the combination of multimodal video content, ensuring that the most relevant features …are prioritized. The second phase employs bi-directional attention to tightly couple video and query features into a unified joint representation for moment localization. This joint representation captures long-range dependencies and complex patterns, enabling the model to effectively distinguish between relevant and irrelevant video segments. The effectiveness of IMF-MF is demonstrated through comprehensive evaluations on three benchmark datasets: TVR for closed-world TV episodes and Charades for open-world user-generated videos, DiDeMo dataset, Open-world, diverse video moment retrieval dataset. The empirical results indicate that the proposed approach surpasses existing state-of-the-art methods in terms of retrieval accuracy, as evaluated by metrics like Recall (R1, R5, R10, and R100) and Intersection-of-Union (IoU). The results consistently demonstrate IMF-MF’s superior performance compared to existing state-of-the-art methods, highlighting the benefits of its innovative interactive moment localization approach and the use of self-attention for feature representation and attention modeling.

Abstract: Anomaly detection, a critical aspect of data analysis and cybersecurity, aims to identify unusual patterns that deviate from the expected norm. In this study, we propose a hybrid approach that combines the strengths of Autoencoder neural networks and Multiclass Support Vector Machines (SVM) for robust anomaly detection. The Autoencoder is utilized for feature learning and extraction, capturing intricate patterns in the data, while the Multiclass SVM provides a discriminative classification mechanism to distinguish anomalies from normal patterns. Specifically, the Autoencoder is trained on normal data to acquire a compact and efficient representation of the underlying patterns, with the reconstruction errors …serving as indicative measures of anomalies. Concurrently, a Multiclass SVM is trained to classify instances into multiple classes, including an anomaly class. The anomaly scores from the Autoencoder and the decision function of the Multiclass SVM, along with that of the Random Forest Neural Network (AE-RFNN), are combined, leveraging their complementary strengths. A thresholding mechanism is then employed to classify instances as normal or anomalous based on the combined scores. The performance of the hybrid model is evaluated using standard metrics such as precision, recall, F1-score, and the area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve. The proposed hybrid anomaly detection approach demonstrates effectiveness in capturing complex patterns and discerning anomalies across diverse datasets. Additionally, the model offers flexibility for adaptation to evolving data distributions. This study contributes to the advancement of anomaly detection methodologies by presenting a hybrid solution that combines feature learning and discriminative classification for improved accuracy and generalization.

Abstract: Image classification using polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (Pol-SAR) is becoming more important in image processing for remote sensing applications. However, in the existing techniques, during the feature extraction process, there exist some limitations including laborious endeavour for Pol-SAR image classification, identifying intrinsic features for target recognition is difficult in feature selection, and pixel-level Pol-SAR image classification is difficult for obtaining more precise and coherent interpretation consequences. Hence to overcome these issues, a novel Multifarious Stratification Stratagem in machine learning is proposed to achieve pixel-level Pol-SAR classification. In this proposed model, a novel Scrumptious Integrant Wrenching method is used for efficient …feature extraction. It is compatible with the orientation-sensitive of the Pol-SAR image which increases the variety of intra-layer features. To remove the difficulty in feature selection, a novel Episodicical Proximity Selection method is proposed in which a Split-level parallel feature selection strategy is used to select the best qualities from the extracted features. To tackle the difficulty in classification, an Elastic Net Classifier (ENC) is used that find the coefficient vector for the linear combination of the training sets. This efficiently classified the best features in the Pol-SAR images and improved the proposed system’s accuracy. As a result, the performance measures of the proposed system demonstrate that the accuracy is increased by 99.69%, precision is increased by 98.99%, recall is increased by 98.99%, sensitivity is increased by 98.99%, and F1-score is increased by 98.99% as a response.

Abstract: As technology evolves, the allocation and use of educational resources becomes increasingly complex. Due to the many factors involved in recommending and matching English education resources, traditional predictive control models are no longer adequate. Therefore, fuzzy predictive control models based on neural networks have emerged. To increase the effectiveness and efficiency of using English educational resources (EER), this research aims to create a neural network-based fuzzy predictive control model (T-S-BPNN) for resource suggestion and matching. The results of the study show that the T-S-BPNN model α proposed in the study starts from 0 and increases sequentially by 0.1 up to …1, observing the change in MAE values. The experiment’s findings demonstrate that the value of MAE is lowest at values around 0.5. The T-S-BPNN model, on the other hand, gradually plateaued in its adaptation rate up to 7 runs, reaching about 9.8%. The accuracy rate peaked at 0.843 when the number of recommendations reached 7. The recall rate also peaked at 0.647 when the number of recommended English courses reached 7. The R-value for each set hovered around 0.97, which is a good fit. And the R-value of the training set is 0.97024, which can indicate that the T-S-BPNN model model proposed in the study fits well. It indicates that the algorithm proposed in the study is highly practical. Show more

Abstract: The rapid growth of the cloud computing landscape has created significant challenges in managing the escalating volume of data and diverse resources within the cloud environment, catering to a broad spectrum of users ranging from individuals to large corporations. Ineffectual resource allocation in cloud systems poses a threat to overall performance, necessitating the equitable distribution of resources among stakeholders to ensure profitability and customer satisfaction. This paper addresses the critical issue of resource management in cloud computing through the introduction of a Dynamic Task Scheduling with Virtual Machine allocation (DTS-VM) strategy, incorporating Edge-Cloud computing for the Internet of Things (IoT). …The proposed approach begins by employing a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) algorithm to classify user tasks into Low Priority, Mid Priority, and High Priority categories. Tasks are then assigned to Edge nodes based on their priority, optimizing efficiency through the application of the Spotted Hyena Optimization (SHO) algorithm for selecting the most suitable edge node. To address potential overloads on the edge, a Fuzzy approach evaluates offloading decisions using multiple metrics. Finally, optimal Virtual Machine allocation is achieved through the application of the Stable Matching algorithm. The seamless integration of these components ensures a dynamic and efficient allocation of resources, preventing the prolonged withholding of customer requests due to the absence of essential resources. The proposed system aims to enhance overall cloud system performance and user satisfaction while maintaining organizational profitability. The effectiveness of the DTS-VM strategy is validated through comprehensive testing and evaluation, showcasing its potential to address the challenges posed by the diverse and expanding cloud computing landscape.

Abstract: The actual operating environment of rotating mechanical device contains a large number of noisy interference sources, leading to complex components, strong coupling, and low signal to noise ratio for vibration. It becomes a big challenge for intelligent fault diagnosis from high-noise vibration signals. Thus, this paper proposes a new deep learning approach, namely decomposition-enhance Fourier residual network (DEFR-net), to achieve high noise immunity for vibration signal and learn effective features to discriminate between different types of rotational machine faults. In the proposed DEFR-net, a novel algorithm is proposed to explicitly model high-noise signals for noisy data filtering and effective feature …enhancement based on a hard threshold decomposition function and muti-channel self-attention mechanism. Furthermore, it deeply integrates complementary analysis based on fast Fourier transform in the time-frequency domain and extends the breadth of network. The performance of the proposed model is verified by comparison with five state-of-the-art algorithms on two public datasets. Moreover, the noise experimental results show that the fault diagnosis accuracy is still 85.91% when the signal-to-noise-ratio reaches extreme noise of –8 dB. The results demonstrate that the proposed method is a valuable study for intelligent fault diagnosis of rotating machines in high-noise environments. Show more

Abstract: Current mainstream deep learning optimization algorithms can be classified into two categories: non-adaptive optimization algorithms, such as Stochastic Gradient Descent with Momentum (SGDM), and adaptive optimization algorithms, like Adaptive Moment Estimation with Weight Decay (AdamW). Adaptive optimization algorithms for many deep neural network models typically enable faster initial training, whereas non-adaptive optimization algorithms often yield better final convergence. Our proposed Adaptive Learning Rate Burst (Adaburst) algorithm seeks to combine the strengths of both categories. The update mechanism of Adaburst incorporates elements from AdamW and SGDM, ensuring a seamless transition between the two. Adaburst modifies the learning rate of the SGDM …algorithm based on a cosine learning rate schedule, particularly when the algorithm encounters an update bottleneck, which is called learning rate burst. This approach helps the model to escape current local optima more effectively. The results of the Adaburst experiment underscore its enhanced performance in image classification and generation tasks when compared with alternative approaches, characterized by expedited convergence and elevated accuracy. Notably, on the MNIST, CIFAR-10, and CIFAR-100 datasets, Adaburst attained accuracies that matched or exceeded those achieved by SGDM. Furthermore, in training diffusion models on the DeepFashion dataset, Adaburst achieved convergence in fewer epochs than a meticulously calibrated AdamW optimizer while avoiding abrupt blurring or other training instabilities. Adaburst augmented the final training set accuracy on the MNIST, CIFAR-10, and CIFAR-100 datasets by 0.02%, 0.41%, and 4.18%, respectively. In addition, the generative model trained on the DeepFashion dataset demonstrated a 4.62-point improvement in the Frechet Inception Distance (FID) score, a metric for assessing generative model quality. Consequently, this evidence suggests that Adaburst introduces an innovative optimization algorithm that simultaneously updates AdamW and SGDM and incorporates a learning rate burst mechanism. This mechanism significantly enhances deep neural networks’ training speed and convergence accuracy. Show more

Abstract: This paper presents an approach incorporating fuzzy logic techniques inside a convolutional neural network to manage uncertainty present in the multiple data sources that the model handles when training. The implementation considers the use of information and filters in the fuzzy spectrum, as well as the creation of a new layer to replace the traditional convolution layer with a fuzzy convolutional layer. The aim is to design artificial intelligence algorithms that combine the potential of deep convolutional neural networks and fuzzy logic to create robust systems that allow modeling the uncertainty present in the sources of data and that are …applied to classification problems. The fuzzification process is developed using three membership functions, including the Triangular, Gaussian, and S functions.

Abstract: The ability of deep learning based bearing fault diagnosis methods is developing rapidly. However, it is difficult to obtain sufficient and comprehensive fault data in industrial applications, and changes in vibration signals caused by machine operating conditions can also hinder the accuracy of the model. The problem of limited data and frequent changes in operating conditions can seriously affect the effectiveness of deep learning methods. To tackle these challenges, a novel transformer model named the Differential Window Transformer (Dwin Transformer), which employs a new differential window self-attention mechanism, is presented in this paper. Meanwhile, the model introduces a hierarchical structure …and a new patch merging to further improve performance. Furthermore, a new fault diagnosis model dealing with limited training data is proposed, which combines the Auxiliary Classifier Generative Adversarial Network with the Dwin Transformer(DT-ACGAN). The DT-ACGAN model can generate high-quality fake samples to facilitate training with limited data, significantly improving diagnostic capabilities. The proposed model can achieve excellent results under the dual challenges of limited data and variable working conditions by combining Dwin Transformer with GAN. The DT-ACGAN owns superior diagnostic accuracy and generalization performance under limited sample data and varying working environments when compared with other existing models. A comparative test about cross-domain ability is conducted on the Case Western Reserve University dataset and Jiang Nan University dataset. The results show that the proposed method achieves an average accuracy of 11.3% and 3.76% higher than other existing methods with limited data respectively. Show more

Abstract: There is scope to enhance agricultural measurement and control systems user interactivity, which typically necessitates training for users to perform specific operations successfully. With the continuous development of natural language semantic processing technology, it has become essential to augment the user-friendliness of multifaceted control and query operations in the agricultural measurement and control sector, ultimately leading to reduced operation costs for users. The study aims to focus on command parsing. The proposed AMR-OPO semantic parsing framework is based on the natural language understanding method of Abstract Meaning Representation of Rooted Markup Graphs (AMR). It transforms the user’s natural language inputs …into structured ternary (OPO) statements (operation-place-object) and converts the corresponding parameters of the user’s input commands. The framework subsequently sends the transformed commands to the relevant devices via the IoT gateway. To tackle the intricate task of parsing instructions, we developed a BERT-BiLSTM-ATT-CRF-OPO entity recognition model. This model can detect and extract entities from agricultural instructions, and precisely populate them into OPO statements. Our model shows exceptional accuracy in instruction parsing, with precision, recall, and F-value all measuring at 92.13%, 93.12%, and 92.76%, correspondingly. The findings from our experiment reveal outstanding and precise performance of our approach. It is anticipated that our algorithm will enhance the user experience offered by agricultural measurement and control systems, while also making them more user-friendly. Show more

Abstract: Super-enhancers are a category of active super-enhancers densely occupied by transcription factors and chromatin regulators, controlling the expression of disease-related genes and cellular identity.

The analysis shows that the existing mathematical models are suitable only for determining TD along the length of casing string (CS) and are not suitable for determining TD along the length of the tubing run, since the existence of the interfacial (between the CS and the tubing) annulus of the fluid and gas layers with heat capacity and thermal conductivity that differ significantly from the heat capacity and thermal conductivity of rocks surrounding the CS. Given …the above, mathematical models taking into account the impact of the fluid and gas layers in the annulus on the heat transfer from the upward fluid flow to the tubing wall and from the wall to the interfacial annulus are developed. To ensure the technological effectiveness of the obtained model, formulas for quantitative estimation of the heat transfer of the fluid flow into the surrounding environment are given. Show more

Abstract: Containerized data centers (CDCs) have experienced rapid growth in recent years, owing to their modular and scalable nature. However, ensuring reliability and early fault detection in these complex systems is critical. This paper presents a novel Fuzzy Logic-based Fault Detection (FLFD) framework for CDCs using Digital Twins (DTs). The proposed approach employs DTs to create accurate virtual representations of the CDCs, which enable real-time monitoring and analysis of the physical systems. This paper focuses on three main aspects: (1) the development of a comprehensive DT model for CDCs, (2) the design and implementation of a FLFD algorithm, and (3) the …validation of the proposed approach through extensive simulations and real-world case studies. The FLFD algorithm leverages fuzzy logic principles to identify and localize faults in the system, thereby enhancing the overall fault detection accuracy and reducing false alarms. Results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework, with significant improvements in fault detection performance and system reliability. The FLFD approach offers a promising solution for proactive maintenance and management in containerized data centers, paving the way for more efficient and resilient operations. Show more

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: 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: 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: 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: The Internet’s evolution resulted in a massive amount of data. As a result, the internet has become more sophisticated and vulnerable to massive attacks. The attack detection system is a key feature for system security in modern networks. The IDS might be signature-based or detect anomalous behavior. Researchers recently created several detection algorithms for identifying network intrusions in vehicular network security, but they failed to detect intrusions effectively. For this reason, the optimal Deep Learning approach, namely Political Fractional Dingo Optimizer (PFDOX)-based Deep belief network is introduced for attack detection in network security for vehicles. The Internet of Vehicle simulation …is done initially, and then the input data is passed into the pre-processing phase, which removes noise present in the data. Then, the feature extraction module receives the pre-processed data. The Deep Maxout Network is trained using the Fractional Dingo optimizer (FDOX)is utilized to detect normal and abnormal behavior. Fractional calculus and Dingo optimizer (DOX) are combined to create the proposed FDOX. Finally, intruder/attack types are classified using the Deep Belief Network, which is tuned using the PFDOX. The PFDOX is created by the assimilation of the DOX, Fractional Calculus, and Political Optimizer (PO). The experimental result shows that the designed PFDOX_DBN for attack type classification offers a better result based on f-measure, precision, and recall with the values of 0.924, 0.916, and 0.932, for the CIC-IDS2017 dataset.

Abstract: Lung cancer incidence and mortality continue to rise rapidly around the world. According to the American Cancer Society, the five-year survivability for individuals in the metastasis phases is significantly lower, highlighting the importance of early lung cancer diagnosis for effective therapy and improved quality of life. To achieve this, it is crucial to combine PET’s sensitivity for recognizing abnormal regions with CT’s anatomical localization for evaluating PET-CT images in computer-assisted detection implementations. Current PET-CT image evaluation methods either run each modality independently or aggregate the data from both, but they often overlook the fact that different visual features encode different …types of data from different modalities. For instance, high atypical PET uptake within the lungs is more crucial for identifying tumors compared to physical PET uptake in the heart. To address the challenges of fine-grained issues during feature extraction and fusion, we propose an interpretable deep learning-based solution for lung cancer diagnosis using CT and PET images. This involves building an Optimal Adversarial Network for merging and an Optimal Attention-based Generative Adversarial Network with Classifier (Opt_att-GANC) to augment the classification of the existence and nonexistence of lung cancer based on extracted features. The performance of the Opt_att-GANC is compared with existing methodologies like global-feature encoding U-Net (GEU-Net), 3D Dense-Net, and 3D Convolutional Neural Network Technique (3D-CNN). Results show that the proposed Opt_att-GANC achieves an F1-score of 67.08%, 93.74% accuracy, 92% precision, 92.1% recall, and 93.74% recall. The prospective study aims to enhance the precision degree with reduced duration by incorporating an ensemble neural network paradigm for feature extraction. Show more

Abstract: In the current scenario, feature selection (FS) remains one of the very important functions in machine learning. Decreasing the feature set (FSt) assists in enhancing the classifier’s accuracy. Because of the existence of a huge quantity of data within the dataset (DS), it remains a colossal procedure for choosing the requisite features out of the DS. Hence, for resolving this issue, a new Chaos Quasi-Oppositional-based Flamingo Search Algorithm with Simulated Annealing Algorithm (CQOFSASAA) has been proffered for FS and for choosing the optimum FSt out of the DSs, and, hence, this lessens the DS’ dimension. The FSA technique can be …employed for selecting the optimal feature subset out of the DS. Generalized Ring Crossover has been as well embraced for selecting the very pertinent features out of the DS. Lastly, the Kernel Extreme Learning Machine (KELM) classifier authenticates the chosen features. This proffered paradigm’s execution has been tested by standard DSs and the results have been correlated with the rest of the paradigms. From the experimental results, it has been confirmed that this proffered CQOFSASAA attains 93.74% of accuracy, 92% of sensitivity, and 92.1% of specificity. 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: 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: 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: 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: Time-sensitive programs that are linked to smart services, such as smart healthcare as well as smart cities, are supported in large part by the fog computing domain. Due to the increased speed limitation of the cloud, Cloud Computing (CC) is a competent platform for fog in data processing, but it is unable to meet the demands of time-sensitive programs. The procedure of resource provisioning, as well as allocation in either a fog-cloud structure, takes into account dynamic changes in user requirements, and resources with limited access in fog devices are more difficult to manage. Due to the continual changes in …user requirement factors, the deadline represents the biggest obstacle in the fog computing structure. Hence the objective is to minimize the total cost involved in scheduling by maximizing resource utilization. For dynamic scheduling in the fog-cloud computing model, the efficiency of hybridization of the Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) and Lion Algorithm (LA) is developed in this study. In terms of energy costs, processing costs, and communication costs, the created GWOMLA-based Deep Belief Network (DBN) performed better and outruns the other traditional models. Show more

Abstract: Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality from cancer. Lung cancer is a kind of malignant lung tumor characterized by uncontrolled cell proliferation in lung tissues. Even though CT scans are the most often used imaging technology in medicine, clinicians find it challenging to interpret and diagnose cancer from CT scan pictures. As a result, computer-aided diagnostics can assist clinicians in precisely identifying malignant cells. Many computer-aided approaches were explored and applied, including image processing and machine learning. A comparison of the various classification methodologies will assist in enhancing the accuracy of lung cancer detection systems that …employ robust segmentation and classification algorithms presented in this research.

Abstract: To address the issue of final delivery route planning in the community group purchase model, this study takes into full consideration logistics vehicles of different energy types. With the goal of minimizing the sum of vehicle operating costs, delivery timeliness costs, goods loss costs, and carbon emissions costs, a multi-objective optimization model for community group purchase final delivery route planning is constructed. An improved genetic algorithm with a hill-climbing algorithm is utilized to enhance adaptive genetic operators, preventing the algorithm from getting stuck in local optima and improving the solution efficiency. Finally, a case study simulation is conducted to validate …the feasibility of the model and algorithm. Experimental results indicate that currently, among the three types of vehicles, fuel logistics vehicles still have an advantage in terms of vehicle usage cost. Electric logistics vehicles exhibit the poorest performance with the highest cost per hundred kilometers, but their sole advantage lies in their high energy release efficiency, enabling optimal low-carbon vehicle performance. Battery-swapping logistics vehicles perform the best in terms of carbon emissions, combining the advantages of both fuel-based and electric logistics vehicles. Therefore, battery-swapping logistics vehicles are a favorable choice for replacing fuel-based logistics vehicles in the future, offering promising prospects for future development. Show more

Abstract: Energy is a critical resource for daily activities and lifestyles with direct impacts on the economy, health and environment. Therefore, monitoring its efficient use is essential to reduce energy waste and lessen related concerns such as global warming and climate change. One of the prominent and evolving solutions is Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) smart meters, which enables consumers to track their per-appliance energy consumption more effectively. Some recent approaches have proposed deep learning as a powerful tool for energy disaggregation. However, it is difficult to employ these models in resource-constrained end devices for effective energy monitoring. In this paper, we …explore and evaluate a lightweight improved model for multi-target non-intrusive load monitoring based on MobileNet architectures. With extensive experiments using the ENERTALK dataset, the results show that MobileNetV3-large is the most appealing for energy disaggregation as it requires about 55% less storage for trained model and about 6% less training time than MobileNetV2 with almost the same performance. On average, version 3 large has a 17.63% reduction in SAE and requires 54.21% and 8.93% less space and less training time than version 2, respectively. Moreover, the average performance is boosted using an ensemble multi-target MobileNet model across all houses, leading to significant reduction of MAE, SAE, and RMSE errors of about 6%, 48%, and 4%, respectively. In comparison to other work, the proposed MMNet-NILM shows superior performance for the majority of appliances in terms of all considered evaluation metrics. Show more

Abstract: Video Super Resolution (VSR) applications extensively utilize deep learning-based methods. Several VSR methods primarily focus on improving the fine-patterns within reconstructed video frames. It frequently overlooks the crucial aspect of keeping conformation details, particularly sharpness. Therefore, reconstructed video frames often fail to meet expectations. In this paper, we propose a Conformation Detail-Preserving Network (CDPN) named as SuperVidConform. It focuses on restoring local region features and maintaining the sharper details of video frames. The primary focus of this work is to generate the high-resolution (HR) frame from its corresponding low-resolution (LR). It consists of two parts: (i) The proposed model decomposes …confirmation details from the ground-truth HR frames to provide additional information for the super-resolution process, and (ii) These video frames pass to the temporal modelling SR network to learn local region features by residual learning that connects the network intra-frame redundancies within video sequences. The proposed approach is designed and validated using VID4, SPMC, and UDM10 datasets. The experimental results show the proposed model presents an improvement of 0.43 dB (VID4), 0.78 dB (SPMC), and 0.84 dB (UDM10) in terms of PSNR. Further, the CDPN model set new standards for the performance of self-generated surveillance datasets. Show more

Abstract: The rise of decision processes in various sectors has led to the adoption of decision support systems (DSSs) to support human decision-makers but the lack of transparency and interpretability of these systems has led to concerns about their reliability, accountability and fairness. Explainable Decision Support Systems (XDSS) have emerged as a promising solution to address these issues by providing explanatory meaning and interpretation to users about their decisions. These XDSSs play an important role in increasing transparency and confidence in automated decision-making. However, the increasing complexity of data processing and decision models presents computational challenges that need to be investigated. …This review, therefore, focuses on exploring the computational complexity challenges associated with implementing explainable AI models in decision support systems. The motivations behind explainable AI were discussed, explanation methods and their computational complexities were analyzed, and trade-offs between complexity and interpretability were highlighted. This review provides insights into the current state-of-the-art computational complexity within explainable decision support systems and future research directions. Show more
