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

Abstract: Clustering is an essential unsupervised technique when category information is not available. Although K-means and Max-min distance K-means clustering algorithms are widely used, they have some disadvantages such as dependence on the initial centers, sensitivity to outliers caused by using only distance as the clustering criterion. To overcome the problems, this paper proposes SMM-K-means algorithm which overcomes the dependence on the initial cluster centers and the initial number of clusters and the sensitivity to the outliers. First, the initial value K of the optimal cluster number is determined by the elbow method, and K-means is used for initial clustering. A …new inter-cluster separation measure is then constructed based on the idea of q-nearest neighbors, which is constructed by comprehensive considering the separation between clusters and the distribution compactness of clusters themselves. Finally, the two sample points with highest degree of separation are brought into Max-min distance K-means algorithm as new initial centers for clustering. The definite determining method of cluster centers eliminates the complicated iterative calculation, and the construction of inter-cluster separation measure overcomes the sensitivity of clustering results to noise points and isolated points, and has good applicability and generalization. In addition, this algorithm is not limited by the shape and size of the clusters and has better flexibility. The experimental results show that the SMM-K-means algorithm has higher CH values, resulting in a better clustering effect and stability. Show more

Abstract: Knowledge tracing aims to model learners’ knowledge mastery based on their historical interaction records and predict their future performance. Due to its great potential in enabling personalized learning in intelligent tutoring systems, it has received extensive attention. However, most deep learning-based knowledge tracing methods have significant predictive performance. It is difficult to extract meaningful interpretations from the thousands of parameters in neural networks. The interpretability of knowledge tracing refers to the ability of learners to easily understand the predicted results.To address this problem, based on learning factors that influence the learner’s exercise performance, this paper proposes a novel knowledge tracing …model which is named Integrating L earning factors and B ayesian network for interpretable K nowledge T racing (LBKT). Firstly, meaningful learning factors, including knowledge mastery, learning ability, and exercise difficulty, are calculated from learners’ historical interaction records using deep learning and statistical methods. Then, Bayesian network is constructed to capture the causal relation between the three learning factors and exercise response. Finally, the Bayesian network is generated through structure and parameter learning to obtain interpretable prediction of future exercise performance. The proposed model named LBKT is evaluated on three public real-world educational datasets. The experiment results demonstrate that our approach achieves better predictive performance compared to baseline knowledge tracing methods, while also exhibiting significant superiority in model interpretability.

Abstract: Sarcasm is a rhetorical device commonly used in social media and is prevalent on some social platforms, such as Twitter and Reddit, to dismiss, criticize or ridicule people or events using metaphors and exaggeration. With the rapid growth of social media and internet technology, the way people express their emotions and feelings is not limited to text. Therefore, a multi-modal sarcasm detection task is crucial to understanding people’s real feelings and beliefs. However, most existing models often use implicit fusion and do not significantly align the emotions between modalities explicitly, neglecting the significant role of emotional words in sarcasm detection. …In this paper, a model was proposed based on emotion perception and cross-modality attention fusion for multi-modal sarcasm detection. Specifically, an external emotional knowledge was introduced for emotional information enhancement. In addition, the dual-channel BERT-based module and cross-modality interaction fusion were proposed based on an attention mechanism. The experimental results on a public multi-modal sarcasm detection dataset based on Twitter demonstrate the superiority of the proposed model. Show more

Abstract: Breast cancer has been life-threatening for many years as it is the common cause of fatality among women. The challenges of screening such tumors through manual approaches can be overcome by computer-aided diagnosis, which aids radiologists in making precise decisions. The selection of significant features is crucial for the estimation of prediction accuracy. This work proposes a hybrid Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Honey Badger Algorithm (HBA) based Deep Neural Network (DNN), HGAHBA-DNN for the concurrent optimal features selection and parameter optimization; further, the optimal features and parameters extracted are fed into the DNN for the prediction of the breast cancer. …It fuses the benefits of HBA with parallel processing and efficient feedback with GA’s excellent global convergent rate during the processing stages. The aforementioned method is evaluated on the Wisconsin Original Breast Cancer (WOBC), Wisconsin Diagnostic Breast Cancer (WDBC), and the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) datasets. Subsequently, the performance is validated using several metrics like accuracy, precision, Recall, and F1-score. The experimental result shows that HGAHBA-DNN obtains accuracy of 99.42%, 99.84%, and 92.44% for the WOBC, WDBC, and SEER datasets respectively, which is much superior to the other state-of-the-art methods.

Abstract: A robust muscle fatigue algorithm plays a pivotal role in depicting the degree of muscle fatigue in both time-series EMG signal graphs and spectral graphs, aligning with human perception. While the fuzzy approximate entropy (fApEn ) algorithm has been enhanced from the foundation of approximate entropy (ApEn ) through the incorporation of fuzzy affiliation, concerns persist regarding the threshold value and the algorithm’s application range. This study extracts EMG signals across varied time durations and head-down angles, employing enhanced signal preprocessing techniques and optimizing the fApEn algorithm. Furthermore, real-time fatigue perceptions of subjects were recorded using the rating of …perceived exertion. Experimental outcomes reveal that the EMG signal, post-wavelet analysis preprocessing, demonstrates promising noise reduction capabilities. Notably, the fApEn algorithm exhibits considerable enhancements through the identification of an optimal threshold using the gradient descent algorithm and a machine learning strategy. Show more

Abstract: News text is an important branch of natural language processing. Compared to ordinary texts, news text has significant economic and scientific value. The characteristics of news text include structural hierarchy, diverse label categories, and limited high-quality annotation samples. Many machine learning and deep learning methods exist to analyze various forms of news text. However, due to label imbalance, hierarchical semantics, and confusing labels, current methods have limitations. Therefore, this paper proposes a news text classification framework based on hierarchical semantics and prior correction (HSPC). Firstly, data augmentation is used to enhance the diversity of the training set and adversarial learning …is employed to improve the resistance of the model with its robustness. Then, a hierarchical feature extraction approach is employed to extract semantic features from different levels of news texts. Consequentially, a feature fusion method is designed to allow the model to focus on relevant hierarchical semantics for label classification. Finally, highly confusing label predictions are corrected to optimize the label prediction of the model and improve confidence. Multiple experiments are performed on four widely used public datasets. The experimental results indicate that HSPC achieves higher classification accuracy compared to other models. On the FCT, AGNews, THUCNews, and Ohsumed datasets, HSPC improves the accuracy by 1.03%, 1.38%, 2.55%, and 1.15%, respectively, compared to state-of-the-art methods. This validates the rationality and effectiveness of the designed mechanisms. Show more

Abstract: The automatic segmentation of diabetic retinopathy (DR) holds significant importance for assisting physicians in diagnosis and treatment. Given the complexity, high inter-class similarity, and uncertainty of DR, it is crucial to integrate multiscale information between lesions and establish global correlations among them. To address these issues, a novel HRU-TNet (Hybrid Residual U-Transformer Network) algorithm for retinal lesion segmentation is proposed. In this framework, the network is augmented with lightweight self-attention residual U-modules (LSA-RSU) to capture high-frequency details of the lesions and global contextual information. The skip connections are then enhanced through interactive residual transformer fusion modules (IRTF) and channel-cross attention …(CCA), promoting dependencies among features at different scales and filtering out interfering information to guide feature fusion and eliminate ambiguity. Additionally, a novel retinal image enhancement technique is devised, employing local wavelet transformations to capture detailed components of the retinal images, thereby enhancing the representational capacity of the segmentation network. Data augmentation is also performed to ensure network adaptability to small datasets. Comprehensive experiments conducted on the publicly available IDRID and e_ophtha datasets yielded average AUC_PR values of 0.709 and 0.451, respectively. The proposed approach demonstrated superior generalization on the DDR dataset compared to other methods mentioned in the literature. These results demonstrate that our proposed method is better suited for small retinal datasets, exhibiting improved segmentation accuracy and generalization compared to existing approaches. Show more

Abstract: This paper introduces a new fuzzy structure named “fuzzy primal.” Then, it studies the essential properties and discusses their basic operations. By applying the q-neighborhood system in a primal fuzzy topological space and the Łukasiewicz disjunction, we establish a fuzzy operator (·) ⋄ on the family of all fuzzy sets, followed by its core characterizations. Next, we use (·) ⋄ to investigate a further fuzzy operator denoted by Cl ⋄ . To determine a new fuzzy topology from the existing one, the earlier fuzzy operators are explored. Such a new fuzzy topology is called primal fuzzy topology. Various properties of …primal fuzzy topologies are found. Among others, the structure of a fuzzy base that generates a primal fuzzy topology. Furthermore, the concept of compatibility between fuzzy primals and fuzzy topologies is introduced, and some equivalent conditions to that concept are examined. It is shown that if a fuzzy primal is compatible with a fuzzy topology, then the fuzzy base that produces the primal fuzzy topology is itself a fuzzy topology. Show more

Methods: We design a novel generative framework, PalScDiff, that leverages a denoising diffusion probabilistic model to reconstruct the label distribution for medical images, thereby enabling the sampling of diverse, plausible segmentation outcomes. Specifically, with the …condition of the corresponding image, PalScDiff learns to estimate the masses region probability through denoising step by step. Furthermore, we design a Progressive Augmentation Learning strategy to incrementally handle segmentation challenges of irregular and blurred tumors. Moreover, multi-round sampling is employed to achieve robust breast mass segmentation. Results: Our experimental results show that PalScDiff outperforms established models such as U-Net and transformer-based alternatives, achieving an accuracy of 95.15%, precision of 79.74%, Dice coefficient of 77.61%, and Intersection over Union (IOU) of 81.51% . Conclusion: The proposed model demonstrates promising capabilities for accurate and efficient computer-aided segmentation of breast cancer. Show more

Abstract: Target encirclement is widely used in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs), which can effectively monitor and intercept external threats. However, the integration from target detection, localization to final tracking is difficult or costly. This article proposes a complete and inexpensive framework of the target encirclement for multiple quadrotors. The framework consists of three modules: object detection, target localization and formation tracking. Firstly, a one-stage object detector based on a convolutional neural network is used to achieve fast and accurate object detection. Then, combined with the position and attitude states of the quadrotor, a 3D target localization scheme to locate …the target position is proposed. Based on consensus theory, a time-varying formation tracking control protocol is proposed. Finally, a multiple quadrotor platform composed of one reconnaissance quadrotor and four hunter quadrotors is built with self-organizing network communication, which avoids the expensive cost of deploying object detection modules on each quadrotor platform. We deployed the framework on the multiple quadrotor platform and conducted static and dynamic localization and encirclement experiments with a minibus as the target. The result shows that the reconnaissance quadrotors can detect and accurately locate targets over 30 fps , and the average deviation of locating the target minibus could reach a minimum of 0.0712 m . The hunter quadrotors could track and encircle the dynamic moving target minibus in a time-varying formation. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and practicality of the proposed framework of the target encirclement for multiple quadrotors. Show more

Abstract: Fuzzy rough sets (FRSs) play a significant role in the field of data analysis, and one of the common methods for constructing FRSs is the use of the fuzzy logic operators. To further extend FRSs theory to more diverse information backgrounds, this article proposes a covering variable precision fuzzy rough set model based on overlap functions and fuzzy β-neighbourhood operators (OCVPFRS). Some necessary properties of OCVPFRS have also been studied in this work. Furthermore, multi-label classification is a prevalent task in the realm of machine learning. Each object (sample or instance) in multi-label data is associated with various labels (classes), …and there are numerous features or attributes that need to be taken into account within the attribute space. To enhance various performance metrics in the multi-label classification task, attribute reduction is an essential pre-processing step. Therefore, according to overlap functions and fuzzy rough sets’ excellent work on applications: such as image processing and multi-criteria decision-making, we establish an attribute reduction method suitable for multi-label data based on OCVPFRS. Through a series of experiments and comparative analysis with existing multi-label attribute reduction methods, the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method have been verified. Show more

Abstract: Speech recognition with visual context is a technique that uses digital image processing to detect lip movements within the frames of a video to predict the words uttered by a speaker. Although models with excellent results already exist, most of them are focused on very controlled environments with few speaker interactions. In this work, a new implementation of a model based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) is proposed, taking into account image frames and three models of audio usage throughout spectrograms. The results obtained are very encouraging in the field of automatic speech recognition.

Abstract: Efficient medical information management is essential in today’s healthcare, significantly to automate diagnoses of chronic diseases. This study focuses on the automated identification of diabetic patients through a clinical note classification system. This innovative approach combines rules, information extraction, and machine learning algorithms to promise greater accuracy and adaptability. Initially, the four algorithms evaluated showed similar performance, with Gradient Boosting standing out with an accuracy of 0.999. They were tested on our clinical and oncology notes, where SVM excelled in correctly labeling non-oncology notes with a 0.99. Gradient Boosting had the best average with 0.966. The combination of rules, information …extraction, and Random Forest provided the best average performance, significantly improving the classification of clinical notes and reducing the margin of error in identifying diabetic patients. The principal contribution of this research lies in the pioneering integration of rule-based methods, information extraction techniques, and machine learning algorithms for enhanced accuracy in diabetic patient identification. For future work, we consider implementing these algorithms in natural clinical settings to evaluate their practical performance. Additionally, additional approaches will be explored to improve the accuracy and applicability of clinical note-grading systems in healthcare. Show more

Abstract: Within various industrial settings, such as shipping, aeronautics, woodworking, and footwear, there exists a significant challenge: optimizing the extraction of sections from material sheets, a process known as “nesting”, to minimize wasted surface area. This paper investigates efficient solutions to complex nesting problems, emphasizing rapid computation over ultimate precision. We introduce a dual-approach methodology that couples both a greedy technique and a genetic algorithm. The genetic algorithm is instrumental in determining the optimal sequence for placing sections, ensuring each is located in its current best position. A specialized representation system is devised for both the sections and the material sheet, …promoting streamlined computation and tangible results. By balancing speed and accuracy, this study offers robust solutions for real-world nesting challenges within a reduced computational timeframe. Show more

Abstract: The detection of out-of-distribution (OoD) samples in semantic segmentation is crucial for autonomous driving, as deep learning models are typically trained under the assumption of a closed environment, whereas the real world presents an open and diverse set of scenarios. Existing methods employ uncertainty estimation, image reconstruction, and other techniques for OoD sample detection. We have observed that different classes may exhibit connections and associations in varying contexts. For example, objects encountered by autonomous vehicles differ in rural road scenes compared to urban environments, and the likelihood of encountering novel objects varies. This aspect is missing in current anomaly detection …methods and is vital for OoD sample detection. Existing approaches solely consider the relative significance of each prediction class, overlooking the inter-object correlation. Although prediction scores (e.g., max logits) obtained from the segmentation network are applicable for OoD sample detection, the same problem persists, particularly for OoD objects. To address this issue, we propose the utilization of the Mahalanobis distance of max logits to evaluate the final predicted score. By calculating the Mahalanobis distance, the paper aims to uncover correlations between different classes, thus enhancing the effectiveness of OoD detection. To this end, we also extend the state-of-the-art segmentation model, DeepLabV3+, to enable OoD sample detection in this paper. Specifically, this paper proposes a novel backbone network, SOD-ResNet101, for extracting contextual and multi-scale semantic information, leveraging the class correlation feature of the Mahalanobis distance to enhance the detection performance of out-of-distribution objects. Notably, our approach eliminates the need for external datasets or separate network training, making it highly applicable to existing pretraining segmentation models. Show more

Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) strategy enables physical objects to easily produce, receive, and exchange data. IoT devices are getting more common in our daily lives, with diverse applications ranging from consumer sector to industrial and commercial systems. The rapid expansion and widespread use of IoT devices highlight the critical significance of solid and effective cybersecurity standards across the device development life cycle. Therefore, if vulnerability is exploited directly affects the IoT device and the applications. In this paper we investigated and assessed the various real-world critical IoT attacks/vulnerabilities that have affected IoT deployed in the commercial, industrial and consumer …sectors since 2010.

Abstract: This work considers implementation of a diachronic predictor of valence, arousal and dominance ratings of English words. The estimation of affective ratings is based on data on word co-occurrence statistics in the large diachronic Google Books Ngram corpus. Affective ratings from the NRC VAD dictionary are used as target values for training. When tested on synchronic data, the obtained Pearson‘s correlation coefficients between human affective ratings and their machine ratings are 0.843, 0.779 and 0.792 for valence, aroused and dominance, respectively. We also provide a detailed analysis of the accuracy of the predictor on diachronic data. The main result of …the work is creation of a diachronic affective dictionary of English words. Several examples are considered that illustrate jumps in the time series of affective ratings when a word gains a new meaning. This indicates that changes in affective ratings can serve as markers of lexical-semantic changes. Show more

Abstract: Cylinder liner is an internal part of the automobile engine, which plays an important role in the automobile internal combustion engine. Therefore, it is a top priority to accurately and quickly detect the cylinder liner surface defects. In order to effectively achieve the classification and localization of surface defects on the cylinder liner, this paper establishes a dataset for surface defects on cylinder liner and proposes a based on improved YOLOv5 algorithm for detecting surface defects on cylinder liner. Firstly, a machine vision system is established to acquire on-site images and perform manual annotation to build the dataset of surface …defects on cylinder liner. Secondly, the GSConv SlimNeck mechanism is introduced to reduce the model complexity; the Bi-directional Feature Pyramid Network (BiFPN) is used to fuse the feature information at different scales to enhance the detection accuracy of small surface defects on cylinder liner; and embedding the SimAM attention mechanism to focus on the object region of interest and improve the accuracy and robustness of the model. The final improved YOLOv5 model reduces the number of model parameters by 15.8% compared to the non-improved YOLOv5. And the experimental results on our self-built dataset for cylinder liner defects show that the mAP0.5 is improved by 0.4%. This means that the accuracy of model detection was not compromised. This method can be applied to actual production processes. Show more

Abstract: In the realm of graph representation learning, Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have demonstrated exceptional efficacy across diverse tasks. Typically, GNNs employ message-passing schemes to disseminate node features along graph structures, culminating in learned graph representations. However, their heavy reliance on smoothed node features over graph structures, coupled with limited expressiveness in the presence of node attributes, often constrains link prediction performance. To surmount this challenge, we propose GTLP, a Graph Transformer based link prediction framework. GTLP integrates unsupervised GNNs and structure encoding, enabling a holistic consideration of both topological structures and node features. This approach preserves critical node location and …role information, enhancing the model’s expressiveness. By introducing the Graph Transformer model, GTLP adeptly incorporates neighbor information, refining embedding quality and bolstering the model’s learning and generalization capabilities. Notably, our method exhibits superior scalability, accommodating diverse techniques for information extraction, embedding learning, and sampling. Experimental results underscore GTLP’s state-of-the-art performance, outpacing various baselines across five real-world datasets. Show more

Abstract: With the rapid proliferation of substantial textual data from sources such as social media, online comments, and news articles, sentiment analysis has become increasingly crucial. However, existing deep learning methods have overlooked the significance of part-of-speech (POS) and emotional words in understanding the emotion of text. Based on this, this paper proposes a sentiment analysis approach that combines multiple features with a dual-channel network. Firstly, the vector representation of the text is obtained through Robustly Optimized BERT Pretraining Approach (RoBERTa). Secondly, the POS features and word emotional features are separately updated using self-attention to calculate weights. Concatenating words, POS and …emotion, feature dimension reduction and fusion are achieved through a linear layer. Finally, the fused feature vector is input into a dual-channel network composed of Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (BiGRU) and Deep Pyramid Convolutional Neural Network (DPCNN). Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves higher classification accuracy than the comparative methods on three sentiment analysis datasets. Moreover, the experimental results fully validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Show more

Abstract: Under the influence of the coronavirus disease and other factors, agricultural product prices show non-stationary and non-linear characteristics, making it increasingly difficult to forecast accurately. This paper proposes an innovative combinatorial model for Chinese hog price forecasting. First, the price is decomposed using the Seasonal and Trend decomposition using the Loess (STL) model. Next, the decomposed data are trained with the Long Short-term Memory (LSTM) and Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) models. Finally, the prepared data and the multivariate influence factors after Factor analysis are predicted using the gated recurrent neural network and attention mechanisms (AttGRU) to obtain the …final prediction values. Compared with other models, the STL-FA-AttGRU model produced the lowest errors and achieved more accurate forecasts of hog prices. Therefore, the model proposed in this paper has the potential for other price forecasting, contributing to the development of precision and sustainable agriculture. Show more

Abstract: This paper introduces an automated decision-making framework for providing controlled agent behavior in systems dealing with human behavior-change. Controlled behavior in such settings is important in order to reduce unexpected side-effects of a system’s actions. The general structure of the framework is based on a psychological theory, the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), capturing causes to human motivational states, which enables reasoning about dynamics of human motivation. The framework consists of two main components: 1) an ontological knowledge-base that models an individual’s behavioral challenges to infer motivation states and 2) a transition system that, in a given motivation state, decides …on motivational support, resulting in transitions between motivational states. The system generates plans (sequences of actions) for an agent to facilitate behavior change. A particular use-case is modeled regarding children with Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC) who commonly experience difficulties in everyday social situations. An evaluation of a proof-of-concept prototype is performed that presents consistencies between ASC experts’ suggestions and plans generated by the system. Show more

Abstract: Transformer-based neural machine translation (NMT) models have achieved state-of-the-art performance in the machine translation paradigm. These models learn the translation knowledge from the bilingual corpus through the attention mechanism automatically. This differs from the way human translators approach sentence translation, where prior knowledge plays a significant role. Inspired by this, a word translation augmentation (WTA) method is proposed to improve the Transformer-based NMT model. The main steps are as follows: Firstly, constructing the word alignment rules based on the training set. Next, generating the translation rules for source words according to the word alignment rules. Lastly, incorporating the potential translation …candidates for each source word into the NMT model during the training and testing procedure. In addition, the WTA method introduces the idea of Mixup for translation candidates of a source word and employs two augmentation strategies to augment the encoder. The results of experiments on several translation tasks with high-resource and low-resource indicate the effectiveness of the proposed method compared with the corresponding strong baseline, and the improvement in BLEU score achieved ranges from 0.42 to 0.63.

Abstract: Emotion detection in educational dialogues, particularly within student-teacher interactions, has become a crucial research area for improving the learning experience. In this paper, we employ two models, one generic Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) and the Emotion detection model Robustly Optimized BERT Approach (EmoRoBERTa), to automatically classify emotions in a corpus of student-teacher chat interactions. Then subsequently, we validate these classifications using a scheme based on oracles, employing two generative large language models (ChatGPT and Bard). Experiments on emotion detection in dialogues between students and teachers revealed that EmoRoBERTa exhibited a reasonable level of agreement with the oracles, while …ChatGPT demonstrated the highest consistency with EmoRoBERTa’s predictions. Furthermore, we identified the impact of specific words on emotion classification, offering insights into the decision-making process of these models. The results not only highlight the prominent presence of emotions like approval, gratitude, curiosity, disapproval, amusement, confusion, remorse, joy , and surprise but also provide substantial support for the utilization of the proposed emotion detection model to enhance the student learning environment. Exploring the emotional aspects of educational dialogues holds the potential to enhance instruction methods, provide timely assistance to students in need, and create an improved learning atmosphere.

Abstract: With the rise of the fruit processing industry, machine learning and image processing have become necessary for quality control and monitoring of fruits. Recently, strong vision-based solutions have emerged in farming industries that make inspections more accurate at a much lower cost. Advanced deep learning methods play a key role in these solutions. In this study, we built an image-based framework that uses the ResNet-101 CNN model to identify different types of papaya fruit diseases with minimal training data and processing power. A case study to identify commonly encountered papaya fruit diseases during harvesting was used to support the results …of the suggested methodology. A total of 983 images of both healthy and defective papaya were considered during the experiment. In this study, we initially used the ResNet-101 CNN model for classification and then combined the deep features drawn out from the activation layer (fc1000) of the ResNet-101 CNN along with a multi-class Support Vector Machine (SVM) to classify papaya fruit defect detection. After comparing the performance of both approaches, it was found that Cubic SVM is the best classifier using the deep feature of ResNet-101 CNN, achieved with an accuracy of 99.5% and an area under the curve (AUC) of 1 without any classification error. The findings of this experiment reveal that the ResNet-101 CNN with the cubic SVM model can categorize good, diseased, and defective papaya pictures. Moreover, the suggested model executed the task in a greater way in terms of the F1- Score (0.99), sensitivity (99.50%), and precision (99.71%). The present work not only assists the end user in determining the type of disease but also makes it possible for them to take corrective measures during farming. Show more

Abstract: Modern image processing techniques are improving beyond old methods, which include advanced approaches, for example deep learning. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are excellent at automatic feature extraction, whereas Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) produce realistic images. Transfer learning uses pre-trained models, whereas semantic segmentation identifies pixels in images. Super-resolution, style transfer, and attention mechanisms can increase the quality of images and understanding. Adversarial defenses address purposeful manipulations, while 3D image processing handles three-dimensional data. These advancements make use of improved computational power and massive datasets to revolutionize image processing capabilities. Traditional image processing algorithms frequently fail to handle the complex and …multidimensional structure of color images, particularly when dealing with uncertainty and imprecision. In this study, the 3D-EIFIM frame work is extented and scaled aggregation operations 3D-EIFIM tailored for image data are proposed. By representing each pixel as an entry of 3D-EIFIM and applying aggregation techniques to enable more effective image analysis, manipulation, and enhancement. The practical implications of this research are significant, as it can lead to advancements in fields such as computer vision, medical imaging, and remote sensing. 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.

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

Abstract: Accurate prediction of short-term electricity price is the key to obtain economic benefit and also an important index of power system planning and management. Support vector regression (SVR) based ensemble works have gained remarkable achievements in terms of high accuracy and steady performance, but they are highly dependent on data representativeness and have a high computational complexity O (k * N 3 ) of data samples and parameter selection. To further improve the data representativeness and reduce its computational complexity, this paper develops a new approach to forecast electricity price via optimal weighted ensemble. In the model, the cluster-based subsampling …algorithm is proposed to categorize the inputs being seasonally decomposed into several groups, and representative data are drawn from each group in a certain proportion to ensure that each subset trained with SVR has the same representativeness and features. Moreover, the optimal weighted combination method is presented to assign weights to the sub-SVRs to obtain the optimal support vector regression ensemble model (OWSSVRE). The experimental results show that the improved support vector regression ensemble model with the same features and representativeness of the subset has better performance in electricity price forecasting. As a result, it is suitable to support decision making in the energy and other sectors. Show more

Abstract: The Internet of Things and Quantum Computing raise concerns, as Quantum IoT defines security that exploits quantum security management in IoT. The security of IoT is a significant concern for ensuring secure communications that must be appropriately protected to address key distribution challenges and ensure high security during data transmission.

Abstract: Medical short text classification is of great significance to medical information extraction and medical auxiliary diagnosis. However, medical short texts face challenges such as sparse features, semantic ambiguity, and the specialized nature of the medical field, resulting in relatively low accuracy in short text classification. Taking into consideration the characteristics of medical short texts, this paper proposes a Chinese medical short text classification model based on DPECNN. First, ERNIE is utilized to learn text knowledge and information in order to enhance the model’s semantic representation capabilities. Then, the DPECNN model is employed to extract rich feature information, and the classification …results are generated through a fully connected layer. In the case of DPCNN, it only considers deep-level contextual semantic information, overlooking the correlation of adjacent semantic information between channels. To address this, ECA channel attention is introduced to account for adjacent semantic information. The use of a self-normalizing activation function helps avoid the problem of vanishing gradients. To enhance the model’s robustness and generalization ability, the FGM adversarial training algorithm is employed to perturb the data. The F1 values achieved on the THUCNews, KUAKE-QIC, and CHIP-CTC datasets are 95.00%, 79.45%, and 82.81%, respectively. Show more

Abstract: The Hilbert spectrum images of intrinsic mode functions (IMF) of empirical mode decomposition (EMD) analysis and variational mode decomposition (VMD) analysis of faulty machine vibration signals are used in deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) for machine fault classification in which the DCNN automatically learns the features from spectral images using convolution layer. Though both EMD and VMD analysis suit well for non-stationary signal analysis, VMD has the merit of aliasing free IMFs. In this paper, the performance improvement of DCNN classification for a non-stationary vibration signal dataset using VMD is brought out. The numerical experiment uses the Hilbert spectrum images …of 4 EMD-IMFs and 4 VMD-IMFs in DCNN to classify 10 different faults of the Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) bearing dataset. The confusion matrices are obtained and the plot of model accuracies in terms of epochs for the DCNN is analysed. It is shown that the spectrum images of one of the four EMD-IMFs, IMF0 , give a validation accuracy of 100% and in the case of VMD the spectrum images of two of the four VMD-IMFs, IMF0 , and IMF1 give a validation accuracy of 100%. This reveals that non-aliasing IMFs of VMD are better at classifying bearing faults. Further to bring out the merits of VMD analysis for non-stationary signals the numerical experiment is conducted using VMD analysis for binary fault classification of the milling dataset which is more non-stationary than the bearing dataset which is proved by plotting the statistical parameters of both datasets against time. It is found that the DCNN classification is 100% accurate for IMF3 of VMD analysis which is much better than the 81% accuracy provided by EMD analysis as per existing literature. The performance comparison highlights the merits of VMD analysis over EMD analysis and other state-of-the-art methods and ensemble learning methods. Show more

Abstract: Software Defined Networking (SDN) proposes a centralized network paradigm where a central controller manages the network. While this centralizes scheme opens up previously unachievable opportunities, it also makes the network more susceptible to a varying range of cyber threats. The development of effective Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) designed for the SDN topology is a critical need to address the different vulnerabilities SDN faces. Towards that purpose, the inSDN dataset was specifically curated for intrusion detection in SDN with various attack scenarios unique to the SDN topology. This study leveraged the inSDN dataset to introduce an innovative Intrusion Detection …System (IDS) model that amalgamates Principal Component Analysis (PCA), a dimensionality reduction technique widely employed in traditional Machine Learning (ML) to extract the principal features of the dataset and couples it with Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to classify network traffic based on the extracted features. The proposed model attains an exceptional accuracy rate of 99.95% for multi-class classification and demonstrate that it surpasses the current state-of-the-art techniques while operating within a much simpler framework. This significantly diminishes the necessity for complex models that demand extensive computational resources when dealing with the inSDN attack dataset. The analysis of the dataset carried out in this study also provides insights into the redundancy present in the dataset and identifies the core features that contains most of the information in the dataset.

Abstract: The influenza virus can spread easily, causing significant public health concern. Despite the existence of different techniques for rapid detection and prevention of influenza, their efficiency varies significantly. Additionally, there is currently a lack of a comprehensive, interoperable, and reusable real-time model for detecting influenza infection and predicting relationships within the field of influenza analysis.

Abstract: Facial Emotion Recognition (FER) is a powerful tool for gaining insights into human behaviour and well-being by precisely quantifying a wide range of emotions especially stress, through the analysis of facial images. Detecting stress using FER entails meticulously examining subtle facial cues, such as changes in eye movements, brow furrowing, lip tightening, and muscle contractions. To assure effectiveness and real-time processing, FER approaches based on deep learning and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques was created using edge modules. This research introduces a novel approach for identifying stress, leveraging the Conv-XGBoost Algorithm to analyse facial emotions. The proposed model sustain rigorous evaluation …techniques, for employing key metrics examination such as the F1 score, validation accuracy, precision, and recall rate to assess its real-world reliability and robustness. This comprehensive analysis and validation proved the model’s practical utility in facial analysis. Integrating the Conv-XGBoost Algorithm with facial emotion analysis represents a promising and highly accurate solution for efficient stress detection. The method surpasses existing literature and demonstrate significant potential for practical applications based on well-validated data. Show more

Abstract: In this work, the image block matching based on dissimilarity measure is investigated. Moreover, an unsupervised approach is implemented to yield that the algorithms have low complexity (in numbers of operations) compared to the full search algorithm. The state-of-the-art experiments only use discrete cosine transform as a domain transform. In addition, some images were tested to evaluate the algorithms. However, these images were not evaluated according to specific characteristics. So, in this paper, an improved version is presented to tackle the problem of dissimilarity measure in block matching with a noisy environment, using another’s domain transforms or low-pass filters to …obtain a better result in block matching implementing a quantitive measure with an average accuracy margin of ± 0.05 is obtained. The theoretical analysis indicates that the complexity of these algorithms is still accurate, so implementing Hadamard spectral coefficients and Fourier filters can easily be adjusted to obtain a better accuracy of the matched block group.

Abstract: To ensure a safe and pleasant user experience while watching content on YouTube, it is necessary to identify and classify inappropriate content, especially content that is inappropriate for children. In this work, we have concentrated on establishing an efficient system for detecting inappropriate content on YouTube. Most of the work focuses on manual pre-processing; however, it takes too much time, requires manpower support, and is not ideal for solving real-time problems. To address this challenge, we have proposed an automatic preprocessing scheme for selecting appropriate frames and removing unwanted frames such as noise and duplicate frames. For this purpose, we …have utilized the proposed novel auto-determined k-means (PADK-means) algorithm. Our PADK-means algorithm automatically determines the optimal cluster count instead of manual specifications. By doing this, we have solved the manual cluster count specification problem in the traditional k-means clustering algorithm. On the other hand, to improve the system’s performance, we utilized the Proposed Feature Extraction (PFE) method, which includes two pre-trained models DenseNet121 and Inception V3 are utilized to extract local and global features from the frame. Finally, we employ a proposed double-branch recurrent network (PDBRNN) architecture, which includes bi-LSTM and GRU, to classify the video as appropriate or inappropriate. Our proposed automatic preprocessing mechanism, proposed feature extraction method, and proposed double-branch RNN classifier yielded an impressive accuracy of 97.9% . Show more

Abstract: Active contour model (ACM) is considered as one of the most frequently employed models in image segmentation due to its effectiveness and efficiency. However, the segmentation results of images with intensity non-uniformity processed by the majority of existing ACMs are possibly inaccurate or even wrong in the forms of edge leakage, long convergence time and poor robustness. In addition, they usually become unstable with the existence of different initial contours and unevenly distributed intensity. To better solve these problems and improve segmentation results, this paper puts forward an ACM approach using adaptive local pre-fitting energy (ALPF) for image segmentation with …intensity non-uniformity. Firstly, the pre-fitting functions generate fitted images inside and outside contour line ahead of iteration, which significantly reduces convergence time of level set function. Next, an adaptive regularization function is designed to normalize the energy range of data-driven term, which improves robustness and stability to different initial contours and intensity non-uniformity. Lastly, an improved length constraint term is utilized to continuously smooth and shorten zero level set, which reduces the chance of edge leakage and filters out irrelevant background noise. In contrast with newly constructed ACMs, ALPF model not only improves segmentation accuracy (Intersection over union(IOU)), but also significantly reduces computation cost (CPU operating time T ), while handling three types of images. Experiments also indicate that it is not only more robust to different initial contours as well as different noise, but also more competent to process images with intensity non-uniformity. Show more

Abstract: Existing POI recommendation methods often fail to capture the fine-grained preferences of users and face the challenge of modeling multiple relationships. Moreover, knowledge graph-based recommendation methods are limited in storing dynamic user trajectories, making them unsuitable for POI recommendation scenarios. In this paper, we propose a Multi-View Heterogeneous Knowledge learning model that utilizes techniques for heterogeneous knowledge representation learning and multi-view context modeling. Our model comprehensively models user preferences and the relationships between users and POIs by utilizing information from users’ visiting sequences and POI attributes knowledge graph. Specifically, we design a heterogeneous knowledge embedding method to learn the representation …of users and POIs using POI attribute knowledge and users’ visiting sequences. Additionally, we constructed a user trajectory similarity graph and a POI attribute similarity graph to explore potential relations between users and between POIs. The former measures the similarity of user behaviors based on user visit sequences, and the latter quantifies the similarity between different POIs through a novel feature mapping method. Finally, we propose a multi-view hybrid learning method that combines unsupervised and supervised learning paradigms to model complex relationships, improving the overall recommendation performance. Extensive experiments on real-world datasets validate the effectiveness of our method. Show more

Abstract: Non-speech emotion recognition involves identifying emotions conveyed through non-verbal vocalizations such as laughter, crying, and other sound signals, which play a crucial role in emotional expression and transmission. This paper employs a nine-category discrete emotion model encompassing happy, sad, angry, peaceful, fearful, loving, hateful, brave, and neutral. A proprietary non-speech dataset comprising 2337 instances was utilized, with 384-dimensional feature vectors extracted. The traditional Backpropagation Neural Network (BPNN) algorithm achieved a recognition rate of 87.7% on the non-speech dataset. In contrast, the proposed Whale Optimization Algorithm - Backpropagation Neural Network (WOA-BPNN) algorithm, applied to a self-made non-speech dataset, demonstrated a remarkable …accuracy of 98.6% . Notably, even without facial emotional cues, non-speech sounds effectively convey dynamic information, and the proposed algorithm excels in their recognition. The study underscores the importance of non-speech emotional signals in communication, especially with the continuous advancement of artificial intelligence technology. The abstract thus encapsulates the paper’s focus on leveraging AI algorithms for high-precision non-speech emotion recognition. Show more

Abstract: To address the issue of unknown expert and attribute weights in the comprehensive assessment of hospitals, as well as the potential challenges posed by distance measures, this paper presents a probabilistic language multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) approach that utilizes correlation coefficients and improved entropy. First, the correlation function, called the probabilistic linguistic correlation coefficient, is introduced into the probabilistic linguistic term set(PLTS) to measure the consistency among experts, so as to obtain the weights of experts. Next, based on Shannon entropy, an improved probabilistic linguistic entropy is proposed to measure the uncertainty of PLTS considering the number of alternatives and …information quantity. Then, based on the correlation coefficient and improved entropy, the attribute weights are obtained. In addition, in order to overcome the counter-intuitive problem of existing distance measurement, this paper proposes a probabilistic language distance measurement method based on the Bray-Curtis distance to measure the differences between PLTSs. On this basis, by applying the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) method and using PLTSs to construct the MAGDM method, the ranking of alternative schemes is generated. Finally, the improved MAGDM method is applied to an example of the comprehensive evaluation of the smart medical hospitals. The results show that compared with the existing methods, this method can determine the weight information more reasonably, and the decision-making results are not counter-intuitive, so it can evaluate the hospital more objectively.

Abstract: Temporal sentence grounding in videos (TSGV), which aims to retrieve video segments from an untrimmed videos that semantically match a given query. Most previous methods focused on learning either local or global query features and then performed cross-modal interaction, but ignore the complementarity between local and global features. In this paper, we propose a novel Multi-Level Interaction Network for Temporal Sentence Grounding in Videos. This network explores the semantics of queries at both phrase and sentence levels, interacting phrase-level features with video features to highlight video segments relevant to the query phrase and sentence-level features with video features to learn …more about global localization information. A stacked fusion gate module is designed, which effectively captures the temporal relationships and semantic information among video segments. This module also introduces a gating mechanism to enable the model to adaptively regulate the fusion degree of video features and query features, further improving the accuracy of predicting the target segments.

Abstract: The utilization of the spectrum is optimized through which primary users of modern wireless communication technologies might obtain a higher chance of detection. The research aims to study how the NI-USRP hardware platform can be used to set up greedy cooperative spectrum sensing for cognitive radio networks. Research primarily deals with energy detection and eigenvalue-based detection approaches, both of which are highly recognized for their capacity to sense the spectrum without having prior knowledge of the primary user signals. In the hardware arrangement, there is one transmitter and two cognitive radio receivers. LABVIEW makes it simple to deploy and maximizes …the detection probability across a large sample. Here, it was demonstrated that cooperative spectrum sensing is superior to non-cooperative spectrum sensing, which results in a reduction in the risk of errors occurring during detection. The research discovered that the OR combination rule has a higher detection probability than the AND rule at the same time. The research emphasizes the significance of expanding cooperative spectrum sensing to improve overall detection capabilities. SNRs that are more than 10 dB allow the energy detector to operate, and the eigenvalue detector continues to work when the SNR drops to –9 dB. Show more

Abstract: Point cloud object detection is gradually playing a key role in autonomous driving tasks. To address the issue of insensitivity to sparse objects in point cloud object detection, we have made improvements to the voxel encoding and 3D backbone network of the PVRCNN++. We have introduced adaptive pooling operations during voxel feature encoding to expand the point cloud information within each voxel, followed by the utilization of multi-layer perceptrons to extract richer point cloud features. On the 3D backbone network, we have employed adaptive sparse convolution operations to make the backbone network’s channel count more flexible, allowing it to accommodate …a wider range of input data types. Furthermore, we have integrated Focal Loss to tackle the issue of class imbalance in detection tasks. Experimental results on the public KITTI dataset demonstrate significant improvements over the PVRCNN++, particularly in pedestrian and bicycle detection tasks. Specifically, we have observed 1% increase in detection accuracy for pedestrians and 2.1% improvement for bicycles.

Abstract: Density based methods are significant approaches in outlier detection for high dimensional datasets and Local correlation integral (LOCI) is one of the best of them. To extend LOCI for fuzzy datasets, we should employ suitable metrics to measure the distance between two fuzzy numbers. Euclidean distance measure is a classic one in metric learning, but to overcome curse of dimensionality, we apply fractional distance metric too. Then, after introducing the FLOCI outlier detection algorithm for identifying the fuzzy outliers, we study the efficiency of the proposed method by doing some numerical experiments, in which the obtained results were completely successfull. …We also compared the results with Fuzzy versions of Distance based ABOD and SOD methods to prove robustness of this approache. More than the above, one of the main advantages of the new approach is the determination of outlierness factor for each data which is not presented in classical LOCI method. Show more

Abstract: The goal of speech enhancement is to restore clean speech in noisy environments. Acoustic scenarios with low signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) make it quite challenging to extract the target speech from its noise. In the current study, to enhance noisy speech, we propose a feature recalibration based multi-scale convolutional encoder-decoder architecture with squeeze temporal convolutional networks (S-TCN) bottleneck. Each multi-scale convolutional layer in encoder and decoder is followed by time-frequency attention module (TFA). The recalibration based multi-scale 2D convolution layers are used to extract local and contextual information. Additionally, the recalibration network is equipped with a gating mechanism to control the …flow of information among the layers, enabling weighting of the scaled features for noise suppression and speech retention. The fully connected layer (FC) in the bottleneck part of encoder-decoder contains a few neurons, which capture the global information from the multi-scale 2D convolution layer and reduce parameters. A S-TCN, inspired by the popular temporal convolutional neural network (TCNN), is inserted between the encoder and the decoder to model long-term dependencies in speech. The TFA is a highly efficient network component, that operates through two simultaneous attentions, one focused on time frames, and the other on frequency channels. These attentions work together to explicitly exploit positional information to create a two-dimensional attention map to effectively capture the significant time-frequency distribution of speech. Utilizing the common voice dataset, our proposed model consistently enhances results compared to the current benchmarks, as demonstrated by two extensively utilized objective measures PESQ and STOI. The proposed model shows significant improvements, with average PESQ and STOI scores increasing by 45.7% and 23.8% respectively for seen background noises, and by 43.5% and 21.4% for unseen background noises, when compared to the quality of noisy speech. Tests validate that the proposed approach outperforms numerous cutting-edge algorithms. Show more

Abstract: Efficient feature representation is the key to improving crowd counting performance. CNN and Transformer are the two commonly used feature extraction frameworks in the field of crowd counting. CNN excels at hierarchically extracting local features to obtain a multi-scale feature representation of the image, but it struggles with capturing global features. Transformer, on the other hand, could capture global feature representation by utilizing cascaded self-attention to capture remote dependency relationships, but it often overlooks local detail information. Therefore, relying solely on CNN or Transformer for crowd counting has certain limitations. In this paper, we propose the TCHNet crowd counting model …by combining the CNN and Transformer frameworks. The model employs the CMT (CNNs Meet Vision Transformers) backbone network as the Feature Extraction Module (FEM) to hierarchically extract local and global features of the crowd using a combination of convolution and self-attention mechanisms. To obtain more comprehensive spatial local information, an improved Progressive Multi-scale Learning Process (PMLP) is introduced into the FEM, guiding the network to learn at different granularity levels. The features from these three different granularity levels are then fed into the Multi-scale Feature Aggregation Module (MFAM) for fusion. Finally, a Multi-Scale Regression Module (MSRM) is designed to handle the multi-scale fused features, resulting in crowd features rich in high-level semantics and low-level detail. Experimental results on five benchmark datasets demonstrate that TCHNet achieves highly competitive performance compared to some popular crowd counting methods. Show more

Abstract: In BCI (brain-computer interface) applications, it is difficult to obtain enough well-labeled EEG data because of the expensive annotation and time-consuming data capture procedure. Conventional classification techniques that repurpose EEG data across domains and subjects lead to significant decreases in silent speech recognition classification accuracy. This research provides a supervised domain adaptation using Convolutional Neural Network framework (SDA-CNN) to tackle this problem. The objective is to provide a solution for the distribution divergence issue in the categorization of speech recognition across domains. The suggested framework involves taking raw EEG data and deriving deep features from it and the proposed feature …selection method also retrieves the statistical features from the corresponding channels. Moreover, it attempts to minimize the distribution divergence caused by variations in people and settings by aligning the correlation of both the source and destination EEG characteristic dissemination. In order to obtain minimal feature distribution divergence and discriminative classification performance, the last stage entails simultaneously optimizing the loss of classification and adaption loss. The usefulness of the suggested strategy in reducing distributed divergence among the source and target Electroencephalography (EEG) data is demonstrated by extensive experiments carried out on KaraOne datasets. The suggested method achieves an average accuracy for classification of 87.4% for single-subject classification and a noteworthy average class accuracy of 88.6% for cross-subject situations, which shows that it surpasses existing cutting-edge techniques in thinking tasks. Regarding the speaking task, the model’s median classification accuracy for single-subject categorization is 86.8%, while its average classification accuracy for cross-subject classification is 87.8% . These results underscore the innovative approach of SDA-CNN to mitigating distribution discrepancies while optimizing classification performance, offering a promising avenue to enhance accuracy and adaptability in brain-computer interface applications.

Abstract: In recent years, face detection has emerged as a prominent research field within Computer Vision (CV) and Deep Learning. Detecting faces in images and video sequences remains a challenging task due to various factors such as pose variation, varying illumination, occlusion, and scale differences. Despite the development of numerous face detection algorithms in deep learning, the Viola-Jones algorithm, with its simple yet effective approach, continues to be widely used in real-time camera applications. The conventional Viola-Jones algorithm employs AdaBoost for classifying faces in images and videos. The challenge lies in working with cluttered real-time facial images. AdaBoost needs to search …through all possible thresholds for all samples to find the minimum training error when receiving features from Haar-like detectors. Therefore, this exhaustive search consumes significant time to discover the best threshold values and optimize feature selection to build an efficient classifier for face detection. In this paper, we propose enhancing the conventional Viola-Jones algorithm by incorporating Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to improve its predictive accuracy, particularly in complex face images. We leverage PSO in two key areas within the Viola-Jones framework. Firstly, PSO is employed to dynamically select optimal threshold values for feature selection, thereby improving computational efficiency. Secondly, we adapt the feature selection process using AdaBoost within the Viola-Jones algorithm, integrating PSO to identify the most discriminative features for constructing a robust classifier. Our approach significantly reduces the feature selection process time and search complexity compared to the traditional algorithm, particularly in challenging environments. We evaluated our proposed method on a comprehensive face detection benchmark dataset, achieving impressive results, including an average true positive rate of 98.73% and a 2.1% higher average prediction accuracy when compared against both the conventional Viola-Jones approach and contemporary state-of-the-art methods.

Abstract: Analyzing physiological signals in the brain under outdoor conditions, like observing animal behavior, forms the normative basis for the outdoor task and provides new insights into the cognitive neuronal mechanisms of children’s functional brain systems. Here we investigated EEG data from a cohort of seventeen children (6–7 years old, 30-channel EEG) in the resting state and animal-observation state, using the microstate method combined with source-localization analysis to identify the changes in network-level functional interactions. Our study suggested that: while observing animal behavior, the parameters (global explained variance, occurrence, coverage, and duration) of microstates showed a regular trend, and the dynamic …reorganization patterns of children’s brains were associated with verbal input networks and higher-order cognitive networks; the activity of the brain network in the frontal and temporal lobes of children increased, while the activity of the insula brain area decreased after observing the behavioral activities of animals. This study may be essential to understand the effects of animal behavior on changes in healthy children’s emotions and have important implications for education. Show more

Abstract: Big Data Analytics (BDA) is an unavoidable technique in today’s digital world for dealing with massive amounts of digital data generated by online and internet sources. It is kept in repositories for data processing via cluster nodes that are distributed throughout the wider network. Because of its magnitude and real-time creation, big data processing faces challenges with latency and throughput. Modern systems such as Hadoop and SPARK manage large amounts of data with their HDFS, Map Reduce, and In-Memory analytics approaches, but the migration cost is higher than usual. With Genetic Algorithm-based Optimization (GABO), Map Reduce Scheduling (MRS) and Data …Replication have provided answers to this challenge. With multi objective solutions provided by Genetic Algorithm, resource utilization and node availability improve processing performance in large data environments. This work develops a novel creative strategy for enhancing data processing performance in big data analytics called Map Reduce Scheduling Based Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (MRSNSGA). The Hadoop-Map Reduce paradigm handles the placement of data in distributed blocks as a chunk and their scheduling among the cluster nodes in a wider network. Best fit solutions with high latency and low accessing time are extracted from the findings of various objective solutions. Experiments were carried out as a simulation with several inputs of varied location node data and cluster racks. Finally, the results show that the speed of data processing in big data analytics was enhanced by 30–35% over previous methodologies. Optimization approaches developed to locate the best solutions from multi-objective solutions at a rate of 24–30% among cluster nodes. Show more

Abstract: Competitiveness in the global market is getting more intense. Due to resource and budget constraints, firms need to achieve their expected goals and satisfy all investment constraints under uncertainty. Selecting the set of projects among other candidates to get the most efficient portfolio requires a lot of attention from the Decision Makers (DMs) as this consideration no longer relies purely on the financial term. This problem becomes a multi-objective problem under uncertainty where the financial return and risk from uncertainty are required into the trading off consideration. Due to the financial uncertainty, the chance-constrained programming has been employed in this …study for defuzzifying and solving uncertain optimization problems at a specified confidence level that is defined by the DMs. Then, various kinds of investment or financial risk measures, Lower-Semi Variance Index (LSVI), the absolute deviation with the expected FNPV, and the absolute mean-Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) gap are provided in the selection of such risk measures to show their differences in characteristics and performances in the obtained results. Since, such problems can consist of many project candidates and complex constraints, which may grow beyond the application of the exact optimization approach, a meta-heuristic method, Genetic Algorithm (GA), is introduced to optimize this problem through designing and constructing a decision support tool for the investment portfolio selection and optimization. The applicability of the proposed comparative approach and the constructed tool are illustrated through examples. Show more

Abstract: The rapid development of modern cold chain logistics technology has greatly expanded the sales market of agricultural products in rural areas. However, due to the uncertainty of agricultural product harvesting, relying on the experience values provided by farmers for vehicle scheduling can easily lead to low utilization of vehicle capacity during the pickup process and generate more transportation cost. Therefore, this article adopts a non-linear improved grey prediction method based on data transformation to estimate the pickup demand of fresh agricultural products, and then establishes a mathematical model that considers the fixed vehicle usage cost, the damage cost caused by …non-linear fresh fruit and vegetable transportation damage and decay rate, the cooling cost generated by refrigerated transportation, and the time window penalty cost. In order to solve the model, a hybrid simulated annealing algorithm integrating genetic operators was designed to solve this problem. This hybrid algorithm combines local search strategies such as the selection operator without repeated strings and the crossover operator that preserves the best substring to improve the algorithm’s solving performance. Numerical experiments were conducted through a set of benchmark examples, and the results showed that the proposed algorithm can adapt to problem instances of different scales. In 50 customer examples, the difference between the algorithm and the standard value in this paper is 2.30%, which is 7.29% higher than C&S. Finally, the effectiveness of the grey prediction freight path optimization model was verified through a practical case simulation analysis, achieving a logistics cost savings of 9.73% . Show more

Abstract: Due to the complexity of the factors influencing membrane fouling in membrane bioreactors (MBR), it is difficult to accurately predict membrane fouling. This paper proposes a multi-strategy of integration aquila optimizer deep belief network (MAO-DBN) based membrane fouling prediction method. The method is developed to improve the accuracy and efficiency of membrane fouling prediction. Firstly, partial least squares (PLS) are used to reduce the dimensionality of many membrane fouling factors to improve the algorithm’s generalization ability. Secondly, considering the drawbacks of deep belief network (DBN) such as long training time and easy overfitting, piecewise mapping is introduced in aquila optimizer …(AO) to improve the uniformity of population distribution, while adaptive weighting is used to improve the convergence speed and prevent falling into local optimum. Finally, the prediction of membrane fouling is carried out by utilizing membrane fouling data as the research object. The experimental results show that the method proposed in this paper can achieve accurate prediction of membrane fluxes, with an 88.45% reduction in RMSE and 87.53% reduction in MAE compared with the DBN model before improvement. The experimental results show that the model proposed in this paper achieves a prediction accuracy of 98.61%, both higher than other comparative models, which can provide a theoretical basis for membrane fouling prediction in the practical operation of membrane water treatment.

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: Construction site environment helmet detection is of great significance for protecting workers’ lives and realizing the automation of safety management. Aiming at the current object detection methods for the complex construction site environment in the small-scale helmet object detection ability is insufficient. This paper proposes a construction site environment helmet detection method based on multi-scale context and attention fusion. The method is able to aggregate the multi-scale contextual semantics of deep image features through the proposed multi-scale context module and expand the receptive field in order to improve the network’s discriminative learning ability for small-scale helmet objects. Meanwhile, the proposed …attention feature fusion module dynamically fuses features from shallow features and network decoding features to enhance the network’s ability to learn the expression of global feature dependencies and local spatial detail features of helmet objects, and further improve the network’s detection precision of helmet objects. The experimental results show that on the constructed safety helmet wearing dataset, the proposed method in this paper has good detection effect and balanced detection speed compared with the existing mainstream object detection methods.

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: With the increasing demand for tourism, people’s travel modes are more and more diversified, and the tourism recommendation system also arises at the historical juncture. However, the current recommendation system is only recommended for a single user and does not realize the group travel recommendation. To achieve the goal of recommending its preferred attractions for multiple users, the time decay characteristics and Pearson correlation coefficient in Newton’s cooling law are used to obtain the user similarity with spatial distance factor and temporal decay factor and to obtain the score prediction results based on spatiotemporal fusion. In addition, the trust of …user communication is used to recommend, and the weights of the two scoring results are added to obtain the personalized recommendation results of member users. Finally, the study used the fusion strategy to integrate the personalized recommendation results for group preference and obtained the final group travel recommendation list. Therefore, a group travel recommendation model based on spatio-temporal integration factors was constructed. According to the experimental analysis, we can see that the average HR value of the constructed model is 0.8124, and the average NDCG value is 0.7284, which can accurately judge users’ preferences and get the most suitable group travel recommendation results, thus facilitating users to make the next plan for the tourism project.

Abstract: The convergence of visual communication design with unique effects, graphic design, as well as virtual reality, which is becoming progressively more popular, has created a new paradigm for education in recent years. However, emerging evidence indicates that their integration into the world of learning is a somewhat gradual and intricate process. The present research proposes a novel algorithm and a functional model of artificial intelligence technology design to automatically arrange graphic language in visual communication design. In visual communication design, the goal orchestration function used to determine the display size of buffer images is the difference between the minimum and …maximum values of the number of orchestration screens. An ant colony method is used in visual communication design to identify the optimal locations for visuals to be presented, and ASM semantics is used to characterize the visual languages. In order to accomplish the invention and development of a visual communication design style, the suggested algorithm has to be programmed and executed. It employs sequential decision marking to characterize the visual vocabulary and accomplishes automated organization. According to the trial results, visual saturation based on AI technology can reach up to 97%, and the average user satisfaction score is 7.65. It is evident that a creative visual thinking approach can maximize the visual communication design effect and communicate fresh design concepts. Show more
