Abstract: One of the most common types of cancer is Laryngeal cancer, which has a high mortality rate. The primary malignant tumor responsible for this disease is squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Early diagnosis is very important to avoid experiencing morbidity and mortality. Various tools and techniques are used to detect and monitor laryngeal cancers. Unfortunately, these tools and techniques have various limitations, for example, Existing tools and approaches Mask R-CNN for identifying laryngeal cancer have various performance limitations. These include the inability to accurately identify the disease in its early stages, the complexity of the computational environment, and the time-consuming process …of conducting patient screenings by utilizing diverse image datasets, but it lagging to detect large dataset. In this paper, we present a hybrid deep-learning model which can be used to analyze and monitor the different symptoms of laryngeal cancers. Proposed model takes Laryngeal cancer dataset as input; preprocessing is done using median filter, then data augmentation is applied to increase data diversity, then feature extraction is performed using LBP-KNN, finally cancer identification/classification is done using Mask-RCNN. Proposed model attains Accuracy:99.3% ; Precision:97.99% ; Recall:98.09% and F-measure: 97.01%. This method could be useful in providing clinical support to radiologists and doctors. The proposed model can be used to detect minor malignancies in patients in a fast and accurate manner. It can also help improve the efficiency of the clinical process by allowing clinicians to screen more patients. Show more

Abstract: Combining the harmony search algorithm (HS) with the local search algorithm (LS) can prevent the HS from falling into a local optimum. However, how LS affects the performance of HS has not yet been studied systematically. Therefore, in this paper, it is first proposed to combine four frequently used LS with HS to obtain several search algorithms (HSLSs). Then, by taking the flexible job-shop scheduling problem (FJSP) as an example and considering decoding times, study how the parameters of HSLSs affect their performance, where the performance is evaluated by the difference rate based on the decoding times. The simulation results …mainly show that (I) as the harmony memory size (HMS) gradually increases, the performance of HSLSs first increases rapidly and then tends to remain unchanged, and HMS is not the larger the better; (II) as harmony memory considering rate increases, the performance continues to improve, while the performance of pitch adjusting rate on HSLSs goes to the opposite; Finally, more benchmark instances are also used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms. The results of this paper have a certain guiding significance on how to choose LS and other parameters to improve HS for solving FJSP. Show more

Abstract: Knowledge graph question answering aims to answer natural language questions using structured knowledge graph data. The key to achieving this is having a correct semantic understanding of the question phrases. Query graph generation is an important step for knowledge graph question answering systems to tackle complex questions. Unlike simple single-hop questions, complex questions often require reasoning between multiple triples to get the right answer due to multiple entities, relationships and constraints, making it difficult to generate correct query graphs. In previous studies, researchers have primarily focused on improving the extraction and representation of question features, neglecting the prior structural information …implicated in the question itself. In this paper, we propose a question structure classifier to classify the question structure, and alleviate the noise interference in query graph through classification results. In the classifier, we strengthen the information about the question structure through the attention mechanism, while weakening the irrelevant information. Moreover, a query graph sorting module based on feature cross-coding is proposed to sort candidate paths in the query graph using fine-grained feature interaction between words. Extensive experiments are conducted on two public datasets (MetaQA and WebQuestionsSP) and the experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms other baselines. Show more

Abstract: Pythagorean fuzzy sets, as a generalization of intuitionistic fuzzy sets, have a wide range of applications in many fields including image recognition, data mining, decision making, etc. However, there is little research on clustering algorithms of Pythagorean fuzzy sets. In this paper, a novel clustering idea under Pythagorean fuzzy environment is presented. Firstly, the concept of feature vector of Pythagorean fuzzy number (PFN) is presented by taking into account five parameters of PFN, and some new methods to compute the similarity measure of PFNs by applying the feature vector are proposed. Furthermore, a fuzzy similarity matrix by utilizing similarity measure …of PFNs is established. Later, the fuzzy similarity matrix is transformed into a fuzzy equivalent matrix which is utilized to establish a novel Pythagorean fuzzy clustering algorithm. Based on the proposed clustering algorithm, a novel multiple attribute decision making (MADM) method under Pythagorean fuzzy environment is presented. To illustrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed technique, an application example is offered. Show more

Abstract: Recovering low-quality waste heat using industrial waste heat is challenging, and the reuse technology needs to erupt. Moreover, the gas source of low-quality waste heat is relatively volatile, which makes it challenging to keep the actual working condition of the plant stable. Therefore, it is inspiring to research the robustness of root-waste heat power generation processed measurement and control system to improve the stability of the plant operation. Hence, in this paper, we have applied uncertainty theory to analyze it and formulate the uncertainty model based on the Bode diagram. We also proposed a control method based on the uncertainty …model, which combines robust control and internal model control to make the roots waste heat power generation system operate stably under the effect of external disturbances and changes of internal structure or parameters in actual operation. Experimental results show that the robust internal model control method has a speed deviation of no more than 7.9 r/min compared with the PID control method. The adjustment time to track the set value does not exceed 73.1 seconds within the allowed fluctuation range. The fluctuation variance is 30.95% of that of the PID controller. The dynamic performance is better, with strong anti-interference capability and significantly improved tracking performance. It ensures the stability of the roots-type waste heat utilization system, which is essential for future intelligent grid-connected power generation. Show more

Abstract: The quantification of the interplay between student behavior data and classroom teaching effectiveness using quantitative metrics has perennially posed a challenge in the evaluation of classroom instruction. Classroom activity serves as a reflection of student engagement, emotional ambiance, and other pertinent aspects during the pedagogical process. This article presents a methodology for quantifying student head posture during classroom instruction utilizing AI-driven video analysis technology, notably the Classroom Activity Index (CAI). A Classroom Activity Analysis System (CAAS) was designed and developed, integrating a multi-scale classification network based on ECA-ResNet50 and ECA-ResNet18. This network discerns and categorizes various head regions of students …situated in both the frontal and real rows of a lecture-style classroom, irrespective of their dimensions. The classification network attains exceptional performance, boasting F1 score of 0.91 and 0.92 for student head-up and head-nodding. Drawing on the live classroom instruction at a higher vocational college in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, a comparative experiment was executed. The findings revealed that three factors: teacher-student verbal interaction, teacher body language, and utilization of digital resource, all exert an influence on CAI. Simultaneously, the degree of classroom activity as gauged by FIAS and manual analysis fundamentally aligns with the CAI indicators quantified by CAAS, validating the efficacy of CAI in the quantification of classroom activity. Consequently, the incorporation of CAAS in teaching, research, and oversight scenarios can augment the precision and scientific rigor of classroom teaching assessment. Show more
