Abstract: In today’s world, cloud computing plays a significant role in the development of an effective computing paradigm that adds more benefits to the modern Internet of Things (IoT) frameworks. However, cloud resources are considered to be dynamic and the demands necessitated for resource allocation for a certain task are different. These diverse factors may cause load and power imbalance which also affect the resource utilization and task scheduling in the cloud-based IoT environment. Recently, a bio-inspired algorithm can work effectually to solve task scheduling problems in the cloud-based IoT system. Therefore, this work focuses on efficient task scheduling and resource …allocation through a novel Hybrid Bio-Inspired algorithm with the hybridized of Improvised Particle Swarm Optimization and Ant Colony Optimization. The vital objective of hybridizing these two approaches is to determine the nearest multiple sources to attain discrete and continuous solutions. Here, the task has been allocated to the virtual machine through a particle swarm and continuous resource management can be carried out by an ant colony. The performance of the proposed approach has been evaluated using the CloudSim simulator. The simulation results manifest that the proposed Hybridized algorithm efficiently scheduling the task in the cloud-based IoT environment with a lesser average response time of 2.18 sec and average waiting time of 3.6 sec as compared with existing state-of-the-art algorithms.

Abstract: In order to solve the problem of health evaluation of CNC machine tools, an evaluation method based on grey clustering analysis and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation was proposed. The health status grade of in-service CNC machine tools was divided, and the performance indicator system of CNC machine tools was constructed. On the above basis, the relative importance of each performance and its indicators were combined, and grey clustering analysis and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation was utilized to evaluate the health status of in-service CNC machine tools to determine their health grade. The proposed health status evaluation method was applied to evaluate the …health level of an in-service gantry CNC machine that can be used for the machining propellers, and the results shown that the health status of the whole gantry CNC machine tool is healthy. The proposed evaluation method provides useful references for further in-depth research on the health status analysis and optimization of CNC machine tools. Show more

Abstract: In previous studies, various machine-driven decision support systems based on recurrent neural networks (RNN) were ordinarily projected for the detection of cardiovascular disease. However, the majority of these approaches are restricted to feature preprocessing. In this paper, we concentrate on both, including, feature refinement and the removal of the predictive model’s problems, e.g., underfitting and overfitting. By evading overfitting and underfitting, the model will demonstrate good enactment on equally the training and testing datasets. Overfitting the training data is often triggered by inadequate network configuration and inappropriate features. We advocate using Chi2 statistical model to remove irrelevant features when …searching for the best-configured gated recurrent unit (GRU) using an exhaustive search strategy. The suggested hybrid technique, called Chi2 GRU, is tested against traditional ANN and GRU models, as well as different progressive machine learning models and antecedently revealed strategies for cardiopathy prediction. The prediction accuracy of proposed model is 92.17%. In contrast to formerly stated approaches, the obtained outcomes are promising. The study’s results indicate that medical practitioner will use the proposed diagnostic method to reliably predict heart disease. Show more

Abstract: In the medical field, Named Entity Recognition (NER) plays a crucial role in the process of information extraction through electronic medical records and medical texts. To address the problems of long distance entity, entity confusion, and difficulty in boundary division in the Chinese electronic medical record NER task, we propose a Chinese electronic medical record NER method based on the multi-head attention mechanism and character-word fusion. This method uses a new character-word joint feature representation based on the pre-training model BERT and self-constructed domain dictionary, which can accurately divide the entity boundary and solve the impact of unregistered words. Subsequently, …on the basis of the BiLSTM-CRF model, a multi-head attention mechanism is introduced to learn the dependency relationship between remote entities and entity information in different semantic spaces, which effectively improves the performance of the model. Experiments show that our models have better performance and achieves significant improvement compared to baselines. The specific performance is that the F1 value on the Chinese electronic medical record data set reaches 95.22%, which is 2.67%higher than the F1 value of the baseline model. Show more

Abstract: Nowadays, early detecting and warning Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) attacks is a major challenge for intrusion monitoring and prevention systems. Current studies and proposals for APT attack detection often focus on combining machine-learning techniques and APT malware behavior analysis techniques based on network traffic. To improve the efficiency of APT attack detection, this paper proposes a new approach based on a combination of deep learning networks and ATTENTION networks. The proposed process for APT attack detection in this study is as follows: Firstly, all data of network traffic is pre-processed, and analyzed by the CNN-LSTM deep learning network, which is …a combination of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Long Short Term Memory (LSTM). Then, instead of being used directly for classification, this data is analyzed and evaluated by the ATTENTION network. Finally, the output data of the ATTENTION network is classified to identify APT attacks. The optimization proposal for detecting APT attacks in this study is a novel proposal. It hasn’t been proposed and applied by any research. Some scenarios for comparing and evaluating the method proposed in this study with other approaches (implemented in section 4.4) show the superior effectiveness of our proposed approach. The results prove that the proposed method not only has scientific significance but also has practical significance because the model combining deep learning with ATTENTION network has helped improve the efficiency of analyzing and detecting APT malware based on network traffic.

Abstract: The adoption of a new transmission line is extremely complex because of its socio-economic problems such as environmental clearances. Thus, there is a prominence of better utility over available transmission infrastructure. The Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) devices can offer transmission capability enhancement, power compensation, and stability as well as voltage improvement. However, the FACTS devices have a higher penetration impact of wind generation for the dynamic stability of power networks. In this work, an efficient Intellectual Control system has been proposed to stabilize the FACTS devices placement. The Squirrel Search Optimization is adapted with an intellectual control system …to enhance the steady-state voltage stability of FACTS devices. The proposed system has been evaluated with the assist of IEEE 14 and 26 standard bus systems to handle the multi-objective functions like cost, reduction in power loss, reducing risks, and maximizing user’s benefit. These multi-objective functions facilitate to attain the optimal placement and load flows at various sites. The simulation can be carried out with MATLAB/SIMULINK environment and the results manifest that the proposed system outperforms well when compared with existing approaches. Show more

Abstract: Jeffries-Matusita (JM) distance, a transformation of the Bhattacharyya distance, is a widely used measure of the spectral separability distance between the two class density functions and is generally used as a class separability measure. It can be considered to have good potential to be used for evaluation of the effectiveness of a feature in discriminating two classes. The capability of JM distance as a ranking based feature selection technique for binary classification problems has been verified in some research works as well as in our earlier work. It was found by our simulation experiments with benchmark data sets that JM …distance works equally well compared to other popular feature ranking methods based on mutual information, information gain or Relief. Extension of JM distance measure for feature ranking in multiclass problems has also been reported in the literature. But all of them are basically rank based approaches which deliver the ranking of the features and do not automatically produce the final optimal feature subset. In this work, a novel heuristic approach for finding out the optimum feature subset from JM distance based ranked feature lists for multiclass problems have been developed without explicitly using any specific search technique. The proposed approach integrates the extension of JM measure for multiclass problems and the selection of the final optimal feature subset in a unified process. The performance of the proposed algorithm has been evaluated by simulation experiments with benchmark data sets in comparison with two other previously developed multiclass JM distance measures (weighted average JM distance and another multiclass extension equivalent to Bhattacharyya bound) and some other popular filter based feature ranking algorithms. It is found that the proposed algorithm performs better in terms of classification accuracy, F-measure, AUC with a reduced set of features and computational cost. Show more

Abstract: As a major concern of chief managers in each organization, project portfolio selection has a special place in their responsibilities. To assist managers in making decisions, applicable optimization models play an essential role in such processes. In this regard, this paper provides a stochastic optimization model for a project portfolio selection problem under different scenarios. Providing the novelty in the model along with making it closer to reality, the interdependency between revenue and cost of projects is considered. Due to the inherent uncertainty of parameters, the revenue and cost of each project, as well as contributed capital, follow triangular fuzzy …parameters. Contrary to the previous model, the appreciation of assets is considered in the proposed model as the other novelty of the proposed model. To tackle the uncertainty of parameters, a robust possibilistic approach is used, which has been first-ever devised in such problems. Being both optimistic and pessimistic approaches available for decision-makers, a new measure is introduced to make the model inclusive. Moreover, by considering the confidence level as both parameter and decision variables, the robust possibilistic programming approach is adopted to solve the proposed model. Using the new proposed measure, the optimal average value of robust model are obtained under different confidence level. Finally, solving the optimization model, the results are provided by implementing the realization for uncertain parameters, and regarding the obtained results, discussions are made to provide some insights to the managers.
