Abstract: In the process of large-scale group decision making (LSGDM), probabilistic linguistic term set (PLTS) is an useful tool to represent the preferences of expert. There is a common case that experts tend to provide incomplete preferences due to various reasons. However, previous methods which cope with the missing values never took experts′ level of cognition over alternatives and attributes into account. In reality, because of limited knowledge reservation and the complexity of decision problem, experts have diverse familiarity with each scheme and attribute. For handling the defect, we propose a novel method to fill missing preference values, based on …the combination of knowledge-match degree and trust degree of experts providing reference information. We obtain the knowledge-match degree through the accuracy and reliability of preference as well as the trust degree through social network analysis technology (SNA), and use the probabilistic linguistic weighted average operator (PLWA) to integrate the referential values into preferences of the missing expert. Moreover, to solve the consensus problem at minimal cost, a consensus model based minimum adjust is developed in which the consensus degree of identified elements are all lowest at three aspects including decision matrix, internal experts and intra-group. On the basis of the trust relationship, revising the preference with low consensus guarantees regulated experts′ real aspiration. In addition, a new approach to measure the weight of sub-group is proposed in the light of trust in-degree which considers the reliability of experts in the same subgroup.The feasibility and validity of the LSGDM method are tested by using a numerical example and comparing with other methods.

Abstract: Optimal control is a very important field of study, not only in theory but in applications, and fractional optimal control is also a significant branch of research in theory and applications. Based on the concept of fuzzy process, a fuzzy fractional optimal control problem is presented.

Abstract: Power quality disturbance (PQD) defines the presence of inconsistencies that occur in the usual wave shapes of voltage and current signals. Power quality is considered the main challenge for power industry with the increase in dynamic load and highly subtle electronic devices. Besides, the islanding events, particularly unintended islanding, grasp significant challenges and it needs to be identified at the early stage. Islanding is an anomalousstate in the power system, where the distributed generators (DGs) are placed on supplying electrical energy to the local load even after the shortage of the major grid. Therefore, it is essential to identify and …differentiate the PQ events and islanding events in ensuring pollution-free power, equipment, and labor safety. With this motivation, this paper presents an automated optimal deep learning based islanding detection (AODL-ID) technique. The proposed AODL-ID technique involves three major stages namely decomposition, classification, and hyperparameter tuning. Firstly, an empirical mode decomposition (EMD) approach is utilized to decompose the basic signals from the polluted signals. In addition, bidirectional gated recurrent neural network (BiGRNN) technique is employed for the classification of islanding and non-islanding PQ events in the wind energy penetrated DG systems by means of features (Voltage and current (RMS, half-cycle, peak and fundamental) Frequency. Power Factor / Cos Phi. Power and energy (active, reactive, harmonic, apparent)). Since the hyperparameters play a significant role in overall classification performance, the hyperparameter tuning of the BiGRNN model takes place using chaotic crow search algorithm (CCSA). To examine the enhanced classification outcome of the AODL-ID technique, a set of experimental analyses is carried out and the outcomes are investigated interms of various evaluation metrics. The simulation outcomes highlighted the supremacy of the AODL-ID technique over the compared techniques. Show more

Abstract: This paper proposes a multi-feature spatial convolutional semantic matching model (BMCSA) based on BERT by enriching different feature spatial information of semantic features. BMCSA employs the BERT model to extract the semantic features of the text, then uses the two-dimensional convolutional network to extract different feature spatial information, and finally combines the Attention mechanism to capture the global feature spatial information. We use two different semantic matching data sets and a text inference data set to verify the effectiveness of the proposed model. Experimental results prove that BMCSA is better than the baseline model.

Abstract: The most significant and fundamental topological property is connectedness (resp. disconnectedness). This property highlights the most important characteristics of topological spaces and helps to distinguish one topology from another. Taking this into consideration, we investigate bipolar hypersoft connectedness (resp. bipolar hypersoft disconnectedness) for bipolar hypersoft topological spaces. With the help of an example, we show that if there exist a non-null, non-whole bipolar hypersoft sets which is both bipolar hypersoft open and bipolar hypersoft closed over 𝒰, then the bipolar hypersoft space need not be a bipolar hypersoft disconnected. Furthermore, we present the concepts of separated bipolar hypersoft sets …and bipolar hypersoft hereditary property. Show more

Abstract: In this information age, there is exponential growth in visual content and video captioning can address many real-life applications. Automatic generation of video captions can be beneficial to comprehend a video in a short time, assist in faster information retrieval, video analysis, indexing, report generation, etc. Captioning of industrial videos is of importance to get a visual and textual summary of the work ongoing in the industry. The generated captioned summary of the video can assist in remote monitoring of industries and these captions can be utilized for video question-answering, video segment extraction, productivity analysis, etc. Due to the presence …of diverse events processing of industrial videos are more challenging compared to other domains. In this paper, we address the real-life application of generating the descriptions for the videos of a labor-intensive industry. We propose a keyframe-based approach for the generation of video captions. The framework produces a video summary by extraction of keyframes, thereby reducing the video captioning task to image captioning. These keyframes are passed to the image captioning model for description generation. Utilizing these individual frame captions, multi-caption descriptions of a video are generated with a unique start and end time of each caption. For image captioning, a merge encoder-decoder model with a stacked decoder for caption generation is used. We have performed experimentation on a dataset specifically created for the small-scale industry. We have also shown that data augmentation on the small dataset can greatly benefit the generation of remarkably good video descriptions. Results of extensive experimentation performed by utilizing different image encoders, language encoders, and decoders in the merge encoder-decoder model are reported. Apart from presenting the results on domain-specific data, results on domain-independent datasets are also presented to show the applicability of the technique in general. Performance comparison with existing datasets - OVSD and Flickr8k and Flickr30k are reported to demonstrate the scalability of our method. Show more

Abstract: The rapid and effective identification of leaf diseases of woody fruit plants can help fruit farmers prevent and cure diseases in time to improve fruit quality and minimize economic losses, which is of great significance to fruit planting. In recent years, deep learning has shown its unique advantages in image recognition. This paper proposes a new type of network based on deep learning image recognition method to recognize leaf diseases of woody fruit plants. The network merges the output of the convolutional layer of ResNet101 and VGG19 to improve the feature extraction ability of the entire model. It uses the …transfer learning method to partially load the trained network weights, reducing model training parameters and training time. In addition, an attention mechanism is added to improve the efficiency of network information acquisition. Meanwhile, dropout, L2 regularization, and LN are used to prevent over-fitting, accelerate convergence, and improve the network’s generalization ability. The experimental results show that the overall accuracy of woody fruit plant leaf diseases identification based on the model proposed in this paper is 86.41%. Compared with the classic ResNet101, the accuracy is improved by 1.71%, and the model parameters are reduced by 96.63%. Moreover, compared with the classic VGG19 network, the accuracy is improved by 2.08%, and the model parameters are reduced by 96.42%. After data set balancing, the overall identification accuracy of woody fruit plant leaf diseases based on the model proposed in this paper can reach 86.73%. Show more

Abstract: The process of urbanization has brought about prosperity in urban civilizations, causing a series of ecological and social problems. Therefore, in recent years, monitoring the process of urban expansion has become a hot spot in the field of geosciences. The 8 main urban agglomerations built-up areas from 1995 to 2015 were extracted by night light images. Based on the expansion speed and intensity index, center of gravity migration model, spatial correlation analysis and grey correlation analysis, the characteristics of the spatial and temporal variation were described. Based on it, a driving force model was established to explore the factors behind …its spatial and temporal expansion. The built-up areas of the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region, the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle, Central Plains, the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, central Yunnan, and the Beibu Gulf have been increasing year by year, and reached 7671 km2 , 3926 km2 , 3729 km2 , 3025 km2 , 6649 km2 , 3172 km2 , 500 km2 , 1047 km2 in 2015, which are 5.0, 6.6, 2.6, 5.1, 3.1, 2.8, 3.5, 3.2 times more than that in 1995 respectively. There is an expansion trend of ‘point-block-surface’ from the overall perspective. The development of all eight urban agglomerations belongs to the spatial expansion mode under the guidance of agglomeration, the spatial distribution presents positive spatial autocorrelation, and the agglomeration degree manifests fluctuating changes. Socio-economic factors such as non-agricultural population, regional Gross Domestic Product, and total industrial output have a greater impact on the expansion of urban built-up areas, while the number of colleges and universities and the total investment in fixed assets have less impact with less synchronization.
