Abstract: MobileBert is a generic lightweight model suffering from a large network depth and parameter cardinality. Therefore, this paper proposes a secondary lightweight model entitled LightMobileBert, which retains the bottom 12 Transformers structure of the pre-trained MobileBert and utilizes the tensor decomposition technique to process the model to skip pre-training and further reduce the parameters. At the same time, the joint loss function is constructed based on the improved Supervised Contrastive Learning loss function and the Cross-Entropy loss function to improve performance and stability. Finally, the LMBert_Adam optimizer, an improved Bert_Adam optimizer, is used to optimize the model. The experimental results …demonstrate that LightMobileBert has a comparatively higher performance than MobileBert and other popular models while requiring 57% fewer network parameters than MobileBert, confirming that LightMobileBert retains a higher performance while being lightweight.

Firstly, aiming at maximizing the possibility of optimal node selection in the process of path planning, a composite optimal node prediction model is introduced to improve the state transition function. Secondly, a pheromone model with initialize the distribution and “reward or punishment” update mechanism is used to updates the global pheromone concentration directionally, …which increases the pheromone concentration of excellent path nodes and the heuristic effect; Finally, a prediction-backward mechanism to deal with the “deadlock” problem in the ant colony search process is adopted in the IPACO algorithm, which enhance the success rate in the ACO algorithm path planning. Five groups of different environments are selected to compare and verify the performance of IPACO algorithm, ACO algorithm and three typical path planning algorithms. The experimental simulation results show that, compared with the ACO algorithm, the convergence speed and the planning path accuracy of the IPACO algorithm are improved by 57.69% and 12.86% respectively, and the convergence speed and the planning path accuracy are significantly improved; the optimal path length, optimization speed and stability of the IPACO algorithm are improved. Which verifies that the IPACO algorithm can effectively improve the environmental compatibility and stability of the ant colony algorithm path planning, and the effect is significantly improved.

Abstract: Soft separation axioms and their properties are popular topic in the research of soft topological spaces. Two types of separation axioms T i -I and T i -II (i = 0, 1, ⋯ , 4) which take single point soft sets and soft points as separated objects have been given in [18 ] and [30 ] respectively. In this paper we show that a soft T 0 -II(T 1 -II, T 2 -II, and T 4 -II respectively) space is a soft T 0 -I(T 1 -I, T 2 -I, and T 4 -I respectively) space, if the initial universe …set X and the parameter set E are sets of two elements.

Abstract: Remote Health Monitoring (RHM) is an important research topic among the researchers, where many challenges are to be addressed with respect to communication, device, synchronization, data analysis, knowledge inferencing, database maintenance, security, timely notification etc. Among these multi challenges, personalization of health data and scheduling of alert generation have been focused on this work. Recognizing the regular health pattern of each individual helps in diagnosing the disease accurately (reduces the False Alarm Ratio (FAR)) and provides the necessary treatment earlier. Similarly, in real time, with multiple patients, the latency should be minimal for timely alert generation. To address these two …challenges, a Density-based K- means clustering (DbK-meansC) approach has been proposed in this work that personalize the vital health values. From the personalized health values the abnormalities in the health status of a person can be detected earlier. Here the health records are continuously updated with respect to health values that reflects in personalization of health records. If any abnormality noted in the health values, then the proposed work sends an alert message to the caretaker / the respective doctor using a dynamic preemptive priority scheduling scheme. The scheduling is done with respect to the severity levels of the vital health values of each individual respectively. The arrived results show that the proposed personalized abnormality detection RHM model generate alerts with minimum latency in terms of response and waiting time in a multi patient environment. With proper personalization, the obtained specificity and sensitivity are 91.56% and 92.87% respectively and the computational time is reduced as the degree of personalization increases. Show more

Abstract: Since the tax of carbon emission is popular and consumers are exhibiting low-carbon preference, a manufacturer may invest to adopt carbon emission reduction (CER) technologies to produce green products. In face of high cost of CER investment and random yield in low carbon production processes for the manufacturer, this paper explores the incentive role of the contracts of revenue-sharing (RS) and cost-sharing with subsidy (CSS) offered by a retailer in a low-carbon supply chain. Theoretical analysis and numerical experiments show that both RS and CSS can promote the manufacturer’s Carbon Emission Reduction (CER) efforts and improve the efficiency of the …supply chain, and RS boosts these more than CSS. RS and CSS can also decrease firms’ profit losses due to yield uncertainty, and RS also decreases firms’ profit losses more than CSS. Moreover, to motivate manufacturer’s CER efforts, the government should levy the highest-possible carbon tax under RS, the medium-level carbon tax under CSS, and the lowest-possible carbon tax for the decentralized case, and levy the same carbon tax on the centralized case with that under RS.

Abstract: Single-valued neutrosophic set is an important tool for describing fuzzy information and solving fuzzy decision problems. It is known that entropy can be applied to measure the degree of uncertainty of evaluation information and determine the important degree of objects, similarity is mainly used to capture the internal relationship of the evaluation objects. Therefore, single-valued neutrosophic entropy and single-valued neutrosophic similarity are two important topics in multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) problems. In this paper, some new single-valued neutrosophic entropy and similarity methods are first proposed to deal with uncertain and fuzzy decision problems with the help of exponential function. Then, the …proofs of exponential entropy and exponential similarity measures fit the definition of single-valued neutrosophic similarity and single-valued neutrosophic entropy are presented. Moreover, we apply these two measure methods to cope with the MADM problems, then a new MADM method is provided. Finally, the developed MADM method is applied to the practical example of investment decision, and comparisons with other methods are conducted to show the advantages and rationality of our method.

Abstract: In this research, we use the harmonic mean technique to present an interactive strategy for addressing neutrosophic multi-level multi-objective linear programming (NMMLP) problems. The coefficients of the objective functions of level decision makers and constraints are represented by neutrosophic numbers. By using the interval programming technique, the NMMLP problem is transformed into two crisp MMLP problems, one of these problems is an MMLP problem with all of its coefficients being upper approximations of neutrosophic numbers, while the other is an MMLP problem with all of its coefficients being lower approximations of neutrosophic numbers. The harmonic mean method is then used …to combine the many objectives of each crisp problem into a single objective. Then, a preferred solution for NMMLP problems is obtained by solving the single-objective linear programming problem. An application of our research problem is how to determine the optimality the cost of multi-objective transportation problem with neutrosophic environment. To demonstrate the proposed strategies, numerical examples are solved. Show more

Abstract: Categorical Boost (CatBoost) is a new approach in credit rating. In the process of classification and prediction using CatBoost, parameter tuning and feature selection are two crucial parts, which affect the classification accuracy of CatBoost significantly. This paper proposes a novel SSA-CatBoost model, which mixes Sparrow Search Algorithm (SSA) and CatBoost to improve classification and prediction accuracy for credit rating. In terms of parameter tuning, the SSA-CatBoost optimization obtains the most optimal parameters by iterating and updating the sparrow’s position, and utilize the optimal parameter to improve the accuracy of classification and prediction. In terms of feature selection, a novel …wrapping method called Recursive Feature Elimination algorithm is adopted to reduce the adverse impact of noise data on the results, and further improves calculation efficiency. To evaluate the performance of the proposed SSA-CatBoost model, P2P lending datasets are employed to assess the prediction results, then the interpretable Shap package is used to explain the reason why the proposed model considers a sample as good or bad. Consequently, the experimental results show that the SSA-CatBoost model has an ideal accuracy in classification and prediction for credit rating by comparing the SSA-CatBoost model with the CatBoost model and other well-known machine learning models.

Abstract: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are the most common occupational health problems in agriculture workers due to repetitive and excessive force movement activities involved in their job processes. The Fine-Kinney method has been commonly used as a quantitative evaluation method in risk assessment studies. Classically, the risk value via Fine–Kinney is calculated by the mathematical multiplication irrespective of the degree of importance of each risk parameter (probability (P), exposure (E), and consequence (C)). Hence, a novel risk management model was proposed based on integrating Fine-Kinney and spherical fuzzy AHP-TOPSIS. First, each risk parameter is weighted using the spherical fuzzy AHP (SF-AHP). …Second, the spherical fuzzy TOPSIS (SF-TOPSIS) method is used for hazard ranking. The proposed model is applied to evaluate risks in tea harvesting workers for work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Subsequently, a sensitivity analysis is carried out to test the proposed model. Finally, we compare the proposed model’s applicability and effectiveness with the spherical fuzzy COmbinative Distance-based ASsessment (SF-CODAS) method based on Fine-Kinney. The ranking similarity between the proposed Fine-Kinney-based SF-TOPSIS and SF-CODAS methods is checked by applying Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient, in which 92% of rankings are matched.

Abstract: Understanding and forecasting air quality index (AQI) plays a vital role in guiding the reduction of air pollution and helping social sustainable development. By combining fuzzy logic with decomposition techniques, ANFIS has become an important means to analyze the data resources, uncertainty and fuzziness. However, few studies have paid attention to the noise of decomposed subseries. Therefore, this paper presents a novel decomposition-denoising ANFIS model named SSADD-DE-ANFIS (Singular Spectrum Analysis Decomposition and Denoising-Differential Evolution-Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System). This method uses twice SSA to decompose and denoise the AQI series, respectively, then fed the subseries obtained after the decomposition and denoising …into the constructed ANFIS for training and predicting, and the parameters of ANFIS are optimized using DE. To investigate the prediction performance of the proposed model, twelve models are included in the comparisons. The experimental results of four seasons show that: the RMSE of the proposed SSADD-DE-ANFIS model is 1.400628, 0.63844, 0.901987 and 0.634114, respectively, which is 19.38%, 21.27%, 20.43%, 21.27% and 87.36%, 88.12%, 88.97%, 88.71% lower than that of the single SSA decomposition and SSA denoising. Diebold-Mariano test is performed on all the prediction results, and the test results show that the proposed model has the best prediction performance. Show more

It is a dangerous disease and increases high mortality rate within the age of 15 to 24. It may be cured by finding what type of ICH is affected in the brain within short period with more accuracy.

Abstract: Forecasting trend and variation ranges for time series has been challenging but crucial in real-world modeling. This study designs a hybrid time series forecasting (FIGDS) model based on granular computing and dynamic selection strategy. Firstly, with the guidance of the principle of justifiable granularity, a collection of interval-based information granules is formed to characterize variation ranges for time series on a specific time domain. After that, the original time series is transformed into granular time series, contributing to dealing with time series at a higher level of abstraction. Secondly, the L 1 trend filtering method is applied to extract …trend series and residual series. Furthermore, this study develops hybrid predictors of the trend series and residual series for forecasting the variation range of time series. The ARIMA model is utilized in the forecasting task of the residual series. The dynamic selection strategy is employed to identify the ideal forecasting models from the pre-trained multiple predictor system for forecasting the test pattern of the trend series. Eventually, the empirical experiments are carried out on ten time series datasets with a detailed comparison for validating the effectiveness and practicability of the established hybrid time series forecasting method.

Abstract: Medical decisions, especially when diagnosing Hepatitis C, are challenging to make as they often have to be based on uncertain and fuzzy information. In most cases, that puts doctors in complex yet uncertain decision-making situations. Therefore, it would be more suitable for doctors to use a semantically intelligent system that mimics the doctor’s thinking and enables fast Hepatitis C diagnosis. Fuzzy ontologies have been used to remedy the shortcomings of classical ontologies by using fuzzy logic, which allows dealing with fuzzy knowledge in ontologies. Moreover, Fuzzy Bayesian networks are well-known and widely used to represent and analyze uncertain medical data. …This paper presents a system that combines fuzzy ontologies and Bayesian networks to diagnose Hepatitis C. The system uses a fuzzy ontology to represent sequences of uncertain and fuzzy data about patients and some features relevant to Hepatitis C diagnosis, enabling more reusable and interpretable datasets. In addition, we propose a novel semantic diagnosis process based on a fuzzy Bayesian network as an inference engine. We conducted an experimental study on 615 real cases to validate the proposed system. The experimentation allowed us to compare the results of existing machine learning algorithms for the Hepatitis C diagnosis with the results of our proposed system. Our solution shows promising results and proves effective for fast medical assistance. Show more

Abstract: A machine learning method is now considered capable of accurately segmenting images. However, one significant disadvantage of this strategy is that it requires a lengthy training phase and an extensive training dataset. This article uses an image segmentation by histogram thresholding approach that does not require training to overcome this difficulty. This article proposes straightforward and time-optimal algorithms, which are guaranteed by mathematical proofs. Furthermore, we experiment with the proposed algorithms using 100 images from a standard database. The results show that, while their performances are not significantly different, the two proposed methods are roughly 10 and 20 times faster …than the most simple and optimal method, Brute Force. They also show that the proposed algorithms can deal with bimodal images and images with various shapes of the image histogram. Because our proposed algorithms are the most efficient and effective. As a result, they can be used for real-time segmentations and as a pre-processing approach for multiple object segmentation. Show more

Abstract: Unconstrained video face recognition is an extension of face recognition technology, and it is an indispensable part of intelligent security and criminal investigation systems. However, general face recognition technology cannot be directly applied to unconstrained video face recognition, because the video contains fewer frontal face image frames and a single image contains less face feature information. To address the above problems, this work proposes a Feature Map Aggregation Network (FMAN) to achieve unconstrained video face recognition by aggregating multiple face image frames. Specifically, an image group is used as the input of the feature extraction network to replace a single …image to obtain a multi-channel feature map group. Then a quality perception module is proposed to obtain quality scores for feature maps and adaptively aggregate image features from image groups at the feature map level. Finally, extensive experiments are conducted on the challenging face recognition benchmarks YTF, IJB-A and COX to evaluate the proposed method, showing a significant increase in accuracy compared to the state-of-the-art.

However, handling the deployment challenges of security awareness, energy consumption, resource optimization, service assurance and real-time big data analytics in Industrial IoT Networks is a herculean task. In this paper, Dantzig Wolfe Decomposition Algorithm-based Service Assurance and Parallel Optimization Algorithm (DWDA-SAPOA) is proposed for guaranteeing QoS in energy efficient Software-Defined Industrial IoT Networks. This DWDA-SAPOA is proposed for achieving minimized energy consumption on par with the competitive network routing …algorithms which fails in satisfying the strict requirements of heterogeneous Quality of Service (QoS) during the process of optimizing resources under industrial communications. It is proposed as a service assurance and centralized route optimization strategy using the programmability and flexibility characteristics facilitating by the significant Software Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm which is implemented over a multi-layer programmable industrial architecture. It supports bandwidth-sensitive service and ultra-reliable low-latency communication type of heterogeneous flows that represents a routing optimization problem which could be potentially modelled as a multi-constrained shortest path problem. It further adopts Dantzig Wolfe Decomposition Algorithm (DWDA) to handle the complexity of NP-hard involved in solving the multi-constrained shortest path problems. The simulation experiments of the proposed DWDA-SAPOA prove its predominance in minimizing energy consumption by 24.28%, flow violation by 19.21%, packet loss by 21.28%, and end-to-end delay by 29.82%, and bandwidth utilization by up to 26.22% on par with the benchmarked QoS provisioning and energy-aware routing problem.

Abstract: Emotional AI is the next era of AI to play a major role in various fields such as entertainment, health care, self-paced online education, etc., considering clues from multiple sources. In this work, we propose a multimodal emotion recognition system extracting information from speech, motion capture, and text data. The main aim of this research is to improve the unimodal architectures to outperform the state-of-the-arts and combine them together to build a robust multi-modal fusion architecture. We developed 1D and 2D CNN-LSTM time-distributed models for speech, a hybrid CNN-LSTM model for motion capture data, and a BERT-based model for text …data to achieve state-of-the-art results, and attempted both concatenation-based decision-level fusion and Deep CCA-based feature-level fusion schemes. The proposed speech and mocap models achieve emotion recognition accuracies of 65.08% and 67.51%, respectively, and the BERT-based text model achieves an accuracy of 72.60%. The decision-level fusion approach significantly improves the accuracy of detecting emotions on the IEMOCAP and MELD datasets. This approach achieves 80.20% accuracy on IEMOCAP which is 8.61% higher than the state-of-the-art methods, and 63.52% and 61.65% in 5-class and 7-class classification on the MELD dataset which are higher than the state-of-the-arts.

Abstract: In reality, the data generated in many fields are often imbalanced, such as fraud detection, network intrusion detection and disease diagnosis. The class with fewer instances in the data is called the minority class, and the minority class in some applications contains the significant information. So far, many classification methods and strategies for binary imbalanced data have been proposed, but there are still many problems and challenges in multi-class imbalanced data that need to be solved urgently. The classification methods for multi-class imbalanced data are analyzed and summarized in terms of data preprocessing methods and algorithm-level classification methods, and the …performance of the algorithms using the same dataset is compared separately. In the data preprocessing methods, the methods of oversampling, under-sampling, hybrid sampling and feature selection are mainly introduced. Algorithm-level classification methods are comprehensively introduced in four aspects: ensemble learning, neural network, support vector machine and multi-class decomposition technique. At the same time, all data preprocessing methods and algorithm-level classification methods are analyzed in detail in terms of the techniques used, comparison algorithms, pros and cons, respectively. Moreover, the evaluation metrics commonly used for multi-class imbalanced data classification methods are described comprehensively. Finally, the future directions of multi-class imbalanced data classification are given. Show more

Abstract: In the control system of a lithium battery rolling mill, the correction system was crucial. This was because the correction system had a significant impact on the performance of the lithium battery rolling mill, including high precision and efficient rolling quality. However, the non-linearity of the correction system and the uncertainty of the correction system made it a challenging problem to achieve a high precision correction control. The contribution and innovation of this paper was a genetic fuzzy PID control strategy based on Kalman filter, which was proposed and applied to the control of lithium battery rolling mill correction technology. …In order to achieve intelligent control of a high-precision electrode rolling mill correction system, an algorithm fusion control scheme was proposed. Firstly, a novel and detailed correction system model was presented. Next, the initial PID parameters of the correction were optimized by means of a genetic algorithm so that the PID parameters could be adapted to the correction control process and then optimized again by adding an extended Kalman filter. Finally, the lithium battery rolling mill correction control system was validated, tested and commissioned in the field. The results showed that the designed algorithm could meet the working requirements of the lithium battery rolling mill and that it improved the accuracy of the correction system. In the actual lithium battery rolling mill production process, the algorithm was compared with a conventional PID. Compared with the common single algorithm, the fusion algorithm proposed in this paper was a complete set of high precision correction control system algorithm to solve the high precision problem faced by the correction system in the actual lithium battery rolling mill correction system.

Abstract: The wind power is considered as a potential renewable energy resource which requires less management cost and effort than the others like as tidal, geothermal, etc. However, the natural randomization and volatility aspects of wind in different regions have brought several challenges for efficiently as well as reliably operating the wind-based power supply grid. Thus, it is necessary to have centralized monitoring centers for managing as well as optimizing the performance of wind power farms. Among different management task, wind speed prediction is considered as an important task which directly support for further wind-based power supply resource planning/optimization, hence towards …power shortage risk and operating cost reductions. Normally, considering as traditional time-series based prediction problem, most of previous deep learning-based models have demonstrated significant improvement in accuracy performance of wind speed prediction problem. However, most of recurrent neural network (RNN) as well as sequential auto-encoding (AE) based architectures still suffered several limitations related to the capability of sufficient preserving the spatiotemporal and long-range time dependent information of complex time-series based wind datasets. Moreover, previous RNN-based wind speed predictive models also perform poor prediction results within high-complex/noised time-series based wind speed datasets. Thus, in order to overcome these limitations, in this paper we proposed a novel integrated convolutional neural network (CNN)-based spatiotemporal randomization mechanism with transformer-based architecture for wind speed prediction problem, called as: RTrans-WP. Within our RTrans-WP model, we integrated the deep neural encoding component with a randomized CNN learning mechanism to softy align temporal feature within the long-range time-dependent learning context. The utilization of randomized CNN component at the data encoding part also enables to reduce noises and time-series based observation uncertainties which are occurred during the data representation learning and wind speed prediction-driven fine-tuning processes.

Abstract: The field of self-driving cars is one that is rapidly growing in popularity. The goal of autonomous vehicles has always been to avoid accidents. It has long been argued that human errors while driving are the primary cause of traffic accidents, and autonomous cars have the potential to remove this. An intelligent transportation system based on the Internet of Things (IoT) is required at some point for the vehicle to make an instant choice to evade accidents, regardless of the competence of a decent driver Mishaps on the road and in the weather are those that occur due to unfavourable …weather circumstances such as fog, gusts, snow, rain, slick pavement, sleet, etc. There are many factors that might cause a vehicle to lose control, including speed, weight, momentum, poor fleet maintenance. It has the potential to lessen the number of collisions caused by poor weather and deteriorating road circumstances. An IoT-based intelligent accident escaping system for poor weather and traffic circumstances is presented here. A variety of sensors are used to check the health of the vehicle. Data from sensors is processed by a microcontroller and displayed on the dashboard of a car after it has been received. The proposed model combines both an IoT system that monitors weather and road conditions and an intelligent system based on deep learning that learns the adverse variables that impact an accident in order to anticipate and prescribe a harmless speed to the driver. The experimental results show that the proposed deep learning technique achieved 94% of accuracy, where the existing LeNet model achieved 80% of accuracy for the prediction process. The proposed ResNet is more effective than LeNet, because identity mapping is used to solve the vanishing gradient problems. Show more

Abstract: For real-time applications, the performance in classifying the movements should be as high as possible, and the computational complexity should be low. This paper focuses on the classification of five upper arm movements which can be provided as a control for human-machine interface (HMI) based applications. The conventional machine learning algorithms are used for classification with both time and frequency domain features, and k-nearest neighbor (KNN) outplay others. To further improve the classification accuracy, pretrained CNN architectures are employed which leads to computational complexity and memory requirements. To overcome this, the deep convolutional neural network (CNN) model is introduced with …three convolutional layers. To further improve the performance which is the key idea behind real-time applications, a hybrid CNN-KNN model is proposed. Even though the performance is high, the computation costs of the hybrid method are more. Minimum redundancy maximum relevance (mRMR), a feature selection method makes an effort to reduce feature dimensions. As a result, better performance is achieved by our proposed method CNN-KNN with mRMR which reduces computational complexity and memory requirement with a mean prediction accuracy of about 99.05±0.25% with 100 features.

Abstract: Gas gathering pipeline network system is an important process facility for gas field production, which is responsible for collecting, transporting and purifying natural gas produced by wells. In this paper, an optimization model for the layout of star-tree gas gathering pipeline network in discrete space is established to find the most economical design scheme. The decision variables include valve set position, station position and pipeline connection relation. A series of equality and inequality constraints are developed, including node flow balance constraints, pipeline hydraulic constraints and pipeline structure constraints. A global optimization strategy is proposed and an improved genetic algorithm is …used to solve the model. To verify the validity of the proposed method, the optimization model is applied to a coalbed methane field gathering pipeline network in China. The results show that the global optimization scheme saves 1489.74×104 RMB (26.36%) in investment cost compared with the original scheme. In addition, the comparison between the global and hierarchical optimization scheme shows that the investment cost of the global optimization scheme is 567.22×104 RMB less than that of the hierarchical optimization scheme, which further proves the superiority of the global optimization method. Finally, the study of this paper can provide theoretical guidance for the design and planning of gas field gathering pipeline network. Show more

Abstract: Effectively evaluating high-embankment deformation and stability is important for heavy-haul railway safety. An improved extension model with an attribute reduction algorithm was proposed for the comprehensive evaluation method. First, a hierarchical evaluation system for high embankments in heavy-haul railways was established using the attribute reduction algorithm, which includes the principal component analysis, maximum information coefficient, coefficient of variation, and improved Dempster-Shafer evidence theory. Furthermore, the improved extension model was used to evaluate high-embankment performance in heavy-haul railways. In this improved extension model, the combination weighting method, an asymmetric proximity function, and the maximum membership principle effectiveness verification were used. Finally, …three high embankments in a Chinese heavy-haul railway were studied. The results illustrate that the main influencing factors for high-embankment performance in a heavy-haul railway are annual rainfall, annual temperature, and 21 other indicators. The performance of the three embankments is level III (ordinary), level II (fine), and level III (ordinary), respectively, indicating that these embankments have generally unfavourable performance. The three embankments’ performance matches field measurements, and the proposed method outperforms the Fuzzy-AHP method, cloud model, and gray relational analysis. This study demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed method in assessing the high-embankment performance under heavy axle loads. Show more

Abstract: Flink is regarded as a promising distributed data processing engine for unifying bounded data and unbounded data. Unbalanced workloads upon multiple workers/task managers/servers in the Flink bring congestion, which will lead to the quality of service (QoS) decreasing. The balanced load distribution could efficiently improve QoS. Besides, existing works are lagging behind the current Flink version. To distribute workloads upon workers evenly, a resource-oriented load balancing task scheduling (RoLBTS) mechanism for Flink is proposed. The capacities of CPU, memory, and bandwidth are taken into consideration. Based on the barrel principle, the memory, and the bandwidth are respectively selected to model …the resource occupancy ratio of the physical node and that of the physical link. On the based of modeled resource occupancy ratio, the data processing of load-balancing resource usage in Flink is formulated as a quadratic programming problem. Based on the self-recursive calling, a RoLBTS algorithm for scheduling task-needed resources is presented. Trough the numerical simulation, the superiority of our work is evaluated in terms of resource score, the number of possible scheduling solutions, and resource usage ratio. Show more

Abstract: In the context of the strategic target of carbon emission peaking and carbon neutrality, industrial green technology innovation (GTI) has become the focus of discussion in academia these days. Based on the panel data of 30 provinces in China from 2011 to 2019, we construct Spatial Durbin Models to explore the spatial effects of capital enrichment (CE) on GTI by using the geographical distance matrix, the economic distance matrix and the adjacency matrix. The results reveal that: (1) The regional differences in the development of GTI are prominent, showing a higher level in the east and lower in the west. …(2) GTI exhibits the spatial characteristic of polarization. Its spatiotemporal evolutionary pattern reveals a phased feature of first strengthened and then weakened. (3) The CE has a significant inhibitory effect on GTI, which may be caused by the “rebound effect”, dominated by short-term economic interests and the ineffective capital allocation. This effect is more prominent in regions with unbalanced economies. (4) The spatial spillover effect of CE is significantly negative, indicating a “siphon effect”. Based on these findings, the suggestions for promoting GTI are put forward. Show more

Abstract: Role-oriented network embedding aims to preserve the structural similarity of nodes so that nodes with the same role stay close to each other in the embedding space. Role-oriented network embeddings have wide applications such as electronic business and scientific discovery. Anonymous walk (AW) has a powerful ability to capture structural information of nodes, but at present, there are few role-oriented network embedding methods based on AW. Our main contribution is the proposal of a new framework named REAW, which can generate the role-oriented embeddings of nodes based on anonymous walks. We first partition a number of anonymous walks starting from …a node into the representative set and the non-representative set. Then, we leverage contrastive learning techniques to learn AW embeddings. We integrate the learned AW embeddings with AW’s empirical distribution to obtain the structural feature of the node, and finally we generate the node’s embedding through message passing operations. Extensive experiments on real network datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework in capturing the role of nodes. Show more

Abstract: In recent years, the lack of thermal images and the difficulty of thermal feature extraction have led to low accuracy and efficiency in the fault diagnosis of circuit boards using thermal images. To address the problem, this paper presents a simple and efficient intelligent fault diagnosis method combined with computer vision, namely the bag-of-SURF-features support vector machine (BOSF-SVM). Firstly, an improved BOF feature extraction based on SURF is proposed. The preliminary fault features of the abnormally hot components are extracted by the speeded-up robust features algorithm (SURF). In order to extract the ultimate fault features, the preliminary fault features are …clustered into K clusters by K-means and substituted into the bag-of-features model (BOF) to generate a bag-of-SURF-feature vector (BOSF) for each image. Then, all of the BOSF vectors are fed into SVM to train the fault classification model. Finally, extensive experiments are conducted on two homemade thermal image datasets of circuit board faults. Experimental results show that the proposed method is effective in extracting the thermal fault features of components and reducing misdiagnosis and underdiagnosis. Also, it is economical and fast, facilitating savings in labour costs and computing resources in industrial production. Show more

Abstract: In healthcare (HC), Internet of Things (IoT) integrated cloud computing provides various features and real-time applications. However, owing to the nature of IoT architecture, their types, various modes of communication and the density of data transformed in the network, security is currently a critical issue in the IoT healthcare (IoT-HC) field. This paper proposes a deep learning (DL) model, namely Adaptive Swish-based Deep Multi-Layer Perceptron (ASDMLP) that identifies the intrusions or attacks in the IoT healthcare (IoT-HC) platform. The proposed model starts by clustering the patients’ sensor devices in the network using the Probability-based Fuzzy C-Means (PFCM) model. After clustering …the devices, the cluster heads (CHs) among the cluster members are selected based on the energy, distance and degree of the sensor devices for aggregating the data sensed by the medical sensor devices. The base station (BS) sends the patient’s data collected by the CHs to the cloud server (CS). At the cloud end, the proposed model implements an IDS by applying training of the DL model in publicly available databases. The DL approach first performs preprocessing of the data and then selects optimal features from the dataset using the Opposition and Greedy Levy mutation-based Coyotes Optimization Algorithm (OGCOA). The ASDMLP trains these optimal features for the detection of HC data intrusions. The outcomes confirm that the proposed approach works well on real-time IoT datasets for intrusion detection (ID) without compromising the energy consumption (EC) and lifespan of the network.

Abstract: Recently computer vision and NLP based techniques have been employed for document layout analysis where different types of elements in the document and their relative position are identified. This process is trickier as there are blocks which are structurally similar but semantically different such as title, text etc. This works attempts to use region-based CNN architecture (F-RCNN) for determining five different sections in the scientific articles. To improve the performance of detection algorithm, reading order is used as an additional feature and this model is known as MF-RCNN. First, an algorithm is formulated to find the reading order in documents …which adopts Manhattan-layout using a color-coding scheme. Secondly, this information is fused with the input image without changing its shape. Experimental results show that MF-RCNN which uses the reading order performs better when compared with F-RCNN when tested on Publaynet dataset. Show more

Abstract: Spotting rumors from social media and intervening early has always been a daunting challenge. In recent years, Deep neural networks have begun to discover rumors by exploring the way of rumor propagation. The existing static graph models either only focus on the spatial structure information of rumor propagation or on time series propagation information but do not effectively combine them. This paper proposes the Static Spatiotemporal Model (SSM), which first extracts the textual semantic information and constructs undirected and directed propagation trees. Then obtains spatial structure information of rumor propagation through Graph Convolutional Network and extracts time series propagation information …through the Recurrent Neural Network. The extracted spatiotemporal information is enhanced using different source node information hopping. Finally, SSM uses a weighted connection ensemble to rumor classification. Experimentally validated on datasets such as Weibo and Twitter, the results show that the proposed method outperforms several state-of-the-art static graph models. To better apply SSM in early detection and characterize early concepts, this paper presents a new data collection index for early detection, which can detect events that spread faster and have more significant influence in a targeted manner. The experimental results on the new indicators further verify the superiority of SSM as it can extract sufficient information in early detection or events with fewer participants. Show more

Abstract: Multimodal analysis focuses on the internal and external manifestations of cancer cells to provide physicians, oncologists and surgeons with timely information on personalized diagnosis and treatment for patients. Decision fusion in multimodal analysis reduces manual intervention, and improves classification accuracy facilitating doctors to make quick decisions. Genetic characteristics extracted on biopsies do not, however, provide details on adjacent cells. Images can only provide external observable details of cancer cells. While mammograms can detect breast cancer, region wise details can be obtained from ultrasound images. Hence, different types of imaging techniques are used. Features are extracted using the SelectKbest method in …the Wisconsin Breast Cancer, Clinical and gene expression datasets. The features are extracted using Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix from Histology, Mammogram and Sonogram images. For image datasets, the Convolution Neural Network (CNN) is used as a classifier. The combined features from clinical, gene expression and image datasets are used to train an Integrated Stacking Classifier. The integrated multimodal system’s effectiveness is shown by experimental findings. Show more

Abstract: In view of the large-scale and high-dimensional problems of industrial data and fault-tracing problems, a fault detection and diagnosis method based on multi-block probabilistic kernel partial least squares (MBPKPLS) is proposed. First, the process variables are divided into several blocks in a decentralized manner to address the large-scale and high-dimensional problems. The probabilistic characteristics and relationship between the corresponding process variables and the quality variables of each block are analyzed using latent variables, and the PKPLS model of each block is established separately. Second, the MBPKPLS model is applied to process monitoring, statistics of each block are established in a …high-dimensional space, and the monitoring indicators in each block are used to detect faults. Third, based on fault detection, the multi-block concept is further used to locate the cause of fault, thereby solving the problem of fault tracing. Finally, a numerical example and the penicillin fermentation process (PFP) are used to test the effectiveness of the MBPKPLS method. The results demonstrate that the proposed method is suitable for processing large-scale, high-dimensional data with strong nonlinear characteristics, and the MBPKPLS process monitoring method is effective for improving the performance of fault detection and diagnosis.

Abstract: In increasingly complex scenes, multi-scale information fusion becomes more and more critical for semantic image segmentation. Various methods are proposed to model multi-scale information, such as local to global, but this is not enough for the scene changes more and more, and the image resolution becomes larger and larger. Cross-Scale Sampling Transformer is proposed in this paper. We first propose that each scale feature is sparsely sampled at one time, and all other features are fused, which is different from all previous methods. Specifically, the Channel Information Augmentation module is first proposed to enhance query feature features, highlight part of …the response to sampling points and enhance image features. Next, the Multi-Scale Feature Enhancement module performs a one-time fusion of full-scale features, and each feature can obtain information about other scale features. In addition, the Cross-Scale Fusion module is used for cross-scale fusion of query feature and full-scale feature. Finally, the above three modules constitute our Cross-Scale Sampling Transformer(CSSFormer). We evaluate our CSSFormer on four challenging semantic segmentation benchmarks, including PASCAL Context, ADE20K, COCO-Stuff 10K, and Cityscapes, achieving 59.95%, 55.48%, 50.92%, and 84.72% mIoU, respectively, outperform the state-of-the-art.

Abstract: A smart healthcare network can use sensors and the Internet of Things (IoT) to enhance patient care while decreasing healthcare expenditures. It has become more difficult for healthcare providers to keep track and analyze the massive amounts of data it generates. Health care data created by IoT devices and e-health systems must be handled more efficiently. A wide range of healthcare industries can benefit from machine learning (ML) algorithms in the digital world. However, each of these algorithms has to be taught to anticipate or solve a certain problem. IoT-enabled healthcare data and health monitoring-based machine learning algorithms (IoT-HDHM-MLA ) …have been proposed to solve the difficulties faced by healthcare providers. Sensors and IoT devices are vital for monitoring an individual’s health. The proposed IoT-HDHM-MLA aims to deliver healthcare services via remote monitoring with experts and machine learning algorithms. In this system, patients are monitored in real-time for various key characteristics using a collection of small wireless wearable nodes. The health care business benefits from systematic data collection and efficient data mining. Thus, the experimental findings demonstrate that IoT-HDHM-MLA enhances efficiency in patient health surveillance. Show more

Specifically, the concept of L-valued operators with t-norm/t-conorm is introduced and the existing relationships between them are also studied. Interestingly, we associate L-valued co-topologies/topologies for a given L-valued tree automaton, using them to characterize some algebraic concepts. Further, we introduce the concepts of Alexandroff L-graded co-topologies and Alexandroff L-graded topologies which correspond to the L-valued operators with t-norm and L-valued operators with t-conorm/implicator, respectively. In addition, we aim to specify the relationship between the L-graded co-topologies/topologies, …showing that the introduced L-graded co-topologies/topologies have some interesting consequences under homomorphism.

Abstract: The users of mobile phone are exponentially increasing. The applications are developed every day in a variety of domains to enhance the Quality of User Experience (QoUE) along with utility determinants. The design of the mobile application impacts the QoUE. QoUE in mobile applications is a measure that describes the appropriateness of the purpose of the application and the need for user retention. However, the challenge is to identify, understand, focus and interconnect the variety of determinants influencing the QoUE based on mobile application design. These determinants are based on the diversity of users and the related functional needs, user-specific …needs, and background functioning of the application. The modelling and analysis help mobile application developers to improve, increase and retain user engagement on the app based on improved QoUE. To do so, a qualitative analytical method is employed in the following steps. The first ever Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM) is proposed to show the causal-effect links of the interdependent determinants in mobile applications based on QoUE. In our model, the existence of relationships between determinants relies on a thorough literature review. The weight of these links is estimated by users of different ages and lines of work. This is performed by an empirical study based on a questionnaire filled by experts. The questionnaire is based on the formal utility and perceived QoUE-based topics. Finally, scenario-based analysis on formed FCM based on these inputs is performed. We show that small changes in cases using different direct determinants can be used to enhance QoUE. These changes can be studied before launching an application for the user, thereby limiting the need to rework the improvements based on QoUE and providing useful guidance for the possible increase in user base and behaviour change.

Abstract: As the latest and hottest concept in the international arena, the metaverse concept has attracted the attention of various industries including information, economy, art, management, education and teaching for its application and technology integration research, but whether to define metaverse as a technology or a scenario has not yet reached a unified understanding in the academic and scientific communities. We believe that metaverse should be used as a key concept and emerging theory in building the future intelligent field. Therefore, we introduce the concept of metaverse in future film and animation teaching as a novel, strategic and disruptive teaching field …with great potential, and the constructed metaverse self-directed learning field will become an important part of school education resource optimization. In this study, we focus on the quality improvement path of film and animation teaching in the context of metaverse, and conduct a study on the assessment method of teaching quality after the introduction of metaverse concept. Specifically, we discuss the quality improvement measures in the future teaching of film and animation, construct a teaching field of film and animation based on the metaverse, and propose a related teaching quality assessment model and establish an index system for the quality assessment of film and animation teaching in the context of the metaverse. The index system is composed of 3 primary indicators, 9 secondary indicators and 27 tertiary indicators, and the quantitative calculation is carried out by the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) in fuzzy mathematics, and the weighting results of the indicators are calculated. The research goal of combining quantitative analysis and qualitative research was achieved. What can be seen through our research is that the metaverse online classroom built with virtual reality and other technologies will have more advantages than the traditional teaching classroom. In the future, similar learning devices can be introduced in film and animation teaching, and diversified learning modules can be established. Not only can the learning efficiency of offline classroom be improved, but also more learning space can be opened for online classroom. This study bridges the gap in the theory of quality assessment of film and animation teaching after the introduction of the future metaverse concept, innovates the analysis of the new concept and the improvement of the old method, builds a new scenario of organic combination of new technology and traditional education teaching, and provides a new idea for international and domestic future education research.

Abstract: Early identification of chronic kidney disease (CKD) becomes essential to reduce the severity level and mortality rate. Since medical diagnoses are equipped with latest technologies such as machine learning (ML), data mining, and artificial intelligence, they can be employed to diagnose the disease and aid decision making process. Since the accuracy of the classification model greatly depends upon the number of features involved, the feature selection (FS) approaches are developed which results in improved accuracy. With this motivation, this study designs a novel chaotic binary black hole based feature selection with classification model for CKD diagnosis, named CBHFSC-CKD technique. The …proposed CBHFSC-CKD technique encompasses the design of chaotic black hole based feature selection (CBH-FS) to choose an optimal subset of features and thereby enhances the diagnostic performance. In addition, the bacterial colony algorithm (BCA) with kernel extreme learning machine (KELM) classifier is applied for the identification of CKD. Moreover, the design of BCA to optimally adjust the parameters involved in the KELM results in improved classification performance. A comprehensive set of simulation analyses is carried out and the results are inspected interms of different aspects. The simulation outcome pointed out the supremacy of the CBHFSC-CKD technique compared to other recent techniques interms of different measures. Show more

Abstract: Outlier detection is a process to find out the objects that have the abnormal behavior. It can be applied in many aspects, such as public security, finance and medical care. An information system (IS) as a database that shows relationships between objects and attributes. A real-valued information system (RVIS) is an IS whose information values are real numbers. A RVIS with missing values is an incomplete real-valued information system (IRVIS). The notion of inner boundary comes from the boundary region in rough set theory (RST). This paper conducts experiments directly in an IRVIS and investigates outlier detection in an IRVIS …based on inner boundary. Firstly, the distance between two information values on each attribute of an IRVIS is introduced, and the parameter λ to control the distance is given. Then, the tolerance relations on the object set are defined according to the distance, by the way, the tolerance classes, the λ-lower and λ-upper approximations in an IRVIS are put forward. Next, the inner boundary under each conditional attribute in an IRVIS is presented. The more inner boundaries an object belongs to, the more likely it is to be an outlier. Finally, an outlier detection method in an IRVIS based on inner boundary is proposed, and the corresponding algorithm (DE) is designed, where DE means degree of exceptionality. Through the experiments base on UCI Machine Learning Repository data sets, the DE algorithm is compared with other five algorithms. Experimental results show that DE algorithm has the better outlier detection effect in an IRVIS. It is worth mentioning that for comprehensive comparison, ROC curve and AUC value are used to illustrate the advantages of the DE algorithm. Show more

Abstract: We introduce a semi-supervised space adjustment framework in this paper. In the introduced framework, the dataset contains two subsets: (a) training data subset (space-one data (SOD )) and (b) testing data subset (space-two data (STD )). Our semi-supervised space adjustment framework learns under three assumptions: (I) it is assumed that all data points in the SOD are labeled, and only a minority of the data points in the STD are labeled (we call the labeled space-two data as LSTD ), (II) the size of LSTD is very small comparing to the size of SOD , and (III) …it is also assumed that the data of SOD and the data of STD have different distributions. We denote the unlabeled space-two data by ULSTD , which is equal to STD - LSTD . The aim is to map the training data, i.e., the data from the training labeled data subset and those from LSTD (note that all labeled data are considered to be training data, i.e., SOD ∪ LSTD ) into a shared space (ShS ). The mapped SOD , ULSTD , and LSTD into ShS are named MSOD , MULSTD , and MLSTD , respectively. The proposed method does the mentioned mapping in such a way that structures of the data points in SOD and MSOD , in STD and MSTD , in ULSTD and MULSTD , and in LSTD and MLSTD are the same. In the proposed method, the mapping is proposed to be done by a principal component analysis transformation on kernelized data. In the proposed method, it is tried to find a mapping that (a) can maintain the neighbors of data points after the mapping and (b) can take advantage of the class labels that are known in STD during transformation. After that, we represent and formulate the problem of finding the optimal mapping into a non-linear objective function. To solve it, we transform it into a semidefinite programming (SDP ) problem. We solve the optimization problem with an SDP solver. The examinations indicate the superiority of the learners trained in the data mapped by the proposed approach to the learners trained in the data mapped by the state of the art methods. Show more

Hard clustering (KMeans Clustering) or Soft clustering (Fuzzy C-Means) to generate samples called clusters, which in turn is used to generate the Local Regression Models (LRM) for the given dataset. These LRMs are used to create a Global Regression Model. This methodology is known as Enhanced Regression Model (ERM). The performance of the proposed approach is tested with 5 different datasets. The experimental results revealed that the proposed …methodology yielded better predictive accuracy than the non-hybrid MLR model; also, fuzzy C-Means performs better than the KMeans clustering algorithm for sample selection. Thus, ERM has potential to handle data with uncertainty and complex pattern and produced a high prediction accuracy rate. Show more

Abstract: Colorectal cancer is the third most diagnosed malignancy in the world. Polyps (either malignant or benign) are the primary cause of colorectal cancer. However, the diagnosis is susceptive to human error, less effective, and falls below recommended levels in routine clinical procedures. In this paper, a Capsule network enhanced with radon transforms for feature extraction is proposed to improve the feasibility of colorectal cancer recognition. The contribution of this paper lies in the incorporation of the radon transforms in the proposed model to improve the detection of polyps by performing efficient extraction of tomographic features. When trained and tested with …the polyp dataset, the proposed model achieved an overall average recognition accuracy of 94.02%, AUC of 97%, and an average precision of 96%. In addition, a posthoc analysis of the results exhibited superior feature extraction capabilities comparable to the state-of-the-art and can contribute to the field of explainable artificial intelligence. The proposed method has a considerable potential to be adopted in clinical trials to eliminate the problems associated with the human diagnosis of colorectal cancer. Show more

Abstract: Knowledge Graph Embedding (KGE), which aims to embed the entities and relations of a knowledge gxraph into a low-dimensional continuous space, has been proven to be an effective method for completing a knowledge graph and improving the quality of the knowledge graph. The translation-based models represented by TransE, TransH, TransR and TransD have achieved great success in this regard. There is still potential for improvement in dealing with complex relations. In this paper, we find that the lack of flexibility in entity embedding limits the model’s ability to model complex relations. Therefore, we propose single-directional-flexible (sdf) models and multi-directional-flexible (mdf) …models to increase the flexibility and expressiveness of entity embeddings. These two methods can be applied to the TransD model and its variant models without increasing any time cost and space cost. We conduct experiments on benchmarks such as WN18 and FB15k. The experimental results show that the models significantly surpasses the classical translation models in both tasks of triplet classification and link prediction. In particular, for Hits@1 of link prediction of WN18, we get 71.7% after applying our method to TransD, which is much better than 24.1% of TransD. Show more

Abstract: The investigation on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) classification algorithm based on deep learning is particularly important in medical image analyses and has not been reported. This paper proposes an MRI classification algorithm based on convolutional neural network (MRINet), for accurately classifying CSVD and improving the classification performance. The working method includes five main stages: fabricating dataset, designing network model, configuring the training options, training model and testing performance. The actual training and testing datasets of MRI of CSVD are fabricated, the MRINet model is designed for extracting more detailedly features, a smooth categorical-cross-entropy …loss function and Adam optimization algorithm are adopted, and the appropriate training parameters are set. The network model is trained and tested in the fabricated datasets, and the classification performance of CSVD is fully investigated. Experimental results show that the loss and accuracy curves demonstrate the better classification performance in the training process. The confusion matrices confirm that the designed network model demonstrates the better classification results, especially for luminal infarction. The average classification accuracy of MRINet is up to 80.95% when classifying MRI of CSVD, which demonstrates the superior classification performance over others. This work provides a sound experimental foundation for further improving the classification accuracy and enhancing the actual application in medical image analyses. Show more

Abstract: In today’s social media and various frequently used lifestyle applications, the phenomenon that people express their sentiment via comments or instant barrage is common. People not only show their joys and sorrows in the process of expression but also present their opinions to one thing in many aspects which include. Nowadays, aspect-based sentiment analysis has become a mature and wildly-used technology. There are many public datasets considered as a benchmark to test model performance, such as Laptop2014, Restaurant2014, Twitter, etc. In our work, we also use these public datasets as the test criteria. Current mainstream models generally use the methods …of stacking multi-RNNs layers or combining neural networks and BERT or other pre-trained models. On account of the importance displayed by the dependence between aspect words and sentiment words, we investigate a novel model (BGAT) blending bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU) and relational graph attention network (RGAT) to learn dependencies information. Extensive experiments have been conducted on five datasets, the results demonstrate the great capability of our model. Show more

Abstract: Sentiment analysis is a natural language processing (NLP) technique for determining emotional tone in a body of text. Using product reviews in sentiment analysis and opinion mining various methods have been developed previously. Although, existing product review analyzing techniques could not accurately detect the product aspect and non-aspect. Hence a novel Detach Frequency Assort is proposed to detect the product aspect term using TF-ISF (Term frequency-inverse sentence frequency) with Part of Speech (POS) tags for sentence segmentation and additionally using Feedback Neural Network to combine product aspect feedback loop. Furthermore, decision-making problem occurs during classification of sentiments. Hence, to solve …this problem a novel technique named, Systemize Polarity Shift is proposed in which flow search based Support Vector Machine (SVM) with Bag of Words model classifies pre-trained review comments as positive, negative, and neutral sentiments. Moreover, the identification of specific products is not focused in sentiment analysis. Hence, a novel Revival Extraction is proposed in which a specific product is extracted based on thematic analysis method to obtain accurate data. Thus, the proposed Product Review Opinion framework gives effective optimized results in sentiment analysis with high accuracy, specificity, recall, sensitivity, F1-Score, and precision. Show more

Abstract: Recommendations analysis of road safety requires decision-making tools that accommodate weather uncertainties. Operation and maintenance of transport infrastructure have been one of the sub-areas that require attention due to its importance in the quality of the road. Several investigations have proposed artificial neural networks and Bayesian networks to assess the risk of the road. These methods make use of historic accident records to generate useful road safety metrics; however, there is less information on how climatic factors and road surface conditions affect the models that generate recommendations for safe traffic. In this research, Bayesian Network, as a Hidden Markov Models, …and Apriori method are proposed to evaluate the open and closed state of the road. The weather and road surface conditions are explicitly written as a sequence of latent variables from observed data. Different weather variables were studied in order to evaluate both road states (open or close) and the results showed that the Hidden Markov Model provides explicit insight into the sequential nature of the road safety conditions but does not provide a directly interpretable result for human decision making. In this way, we complement the study with the Apriori algorithm using categorical variables. The experimental results show that combining the Hidden Markov Model and the Apriori algorithm provides an interpretable rule for decision making in recommendations of road safety to decide an opening or closing of the road in extreme weather conditions with a confidence higher than 90%.

Abstract: In today’s world, mining and learning applications play an essential role in healthcare sectors and intend to transform all the data into an understandable form. However, the healthcare sectors require an automated disease prediction system for better medical analysis and emphasize better prediction accuracy for evaluation purposes. In this paper, a new automated prediction model based on Linearly Support Vector Regression and Stacked Linear Swarm Optimization (LSVR-SLSO) has been proposed to predict heart disease accurately. Primarily, the features are analyzed in a linear and non-linear manner using LSVR feature learning approaches. The extracted features are then fed into the SLSO …model in order to extract the global optimal solutions. These global solutions will reduce the data dimensionality and computational complexity during the evaluation phase. Moreover, the optimal solution facilitates the proposed model to predict heart disease appropriately. The simulation can be carried out through the MATLAB environment by utilizing a publicly available benchmark heart disease dataset. The performance results evident that the proposed LSVR-SLSO model can efficiently predict heart disease with superior accuracy of 98%, precision of 98.76%, and recall of 99.7% when compared with conventional approaches. The better performance of the proposed model will pave the way to act as an effective clinical decision support tool for physicians during an emergency. Show more

Abstract: Deep neural networks have been adopted in multi-label classification for their excellent performance, however, existing methods fail to comprehensively utilize the high-order correlations between instances and the high-order correlations between labels, and these methods are difficult to deal with label noise effectively. We propose a novel end-to-end deep framework named Robust Fused Hypergraph Neural Networks for Multi-Label Classification (RFHNN), which can effectively utilize the two kinds of high-order correlations and adopt them to mitigate the impact of label noise. In RFHNN, Hypergraph Neural Networks (HNNs) are adopted to mine and utilize the high-order correlations of the instances in the feature …space and the label space respectively. The high-order correlations of the instances can not only improve the accuracy of the classification and the discrimination of the proposed model, but also lay the foundation for the subsequent noise correction module. Meanwhile, a hypergraph construction method based on the Apriori algorithm is proposed to realize Hypergraph Neural Networks (HNNs), which can mine robust second-order and high-order label correlations effectively. Effective classifiers are learned based on the correlations between the labels, which will not only improve the accuracy of the model, but can also enhance the subsequent noise correction module. In addition, we have designed a noise correction module in the networks. With the help of the high-order correlations among the instances and the effective classifier, the framework can effectively correct the noise and improve the robustness of the model. Extensive experimental results on datasets demonstrate that our proposed approach is better than the state-of-the-art multi-label classification algorithms. When dealing with the multi-label training datasets with noise in the label space, our proposed method also has great performance. Show more

Abstract: For D numbers theory, there are some drawbacks in the D numbers’ integration rule. For example, the missing information is ignored in the final decision judgment for multi-attribute decision (MADM). For this problem, some researchers have improved the D numbers’ integration rules based on optimistic criterion for overcoming the shortcoming of D numbers’ integration rule. However, optimistic and pessimistic criterion are two sides of the coin for fuzzy environment. Therefore, in this article, a new D numbers’ integration rules based on pessimistic criterion is proposed. We improve the D numbers’ integration rules to redefine the missing information distribution rules based …on pessimistic criterion. The missing information is distributed in inverse proportion to each D number according to the size of the original evidence credibility. Two examples of MADM is applied by the proposed method, the results show that the proposed method can be applied to MADM. Show more

Abstract: Reward signal reinforcement learning algorithms can be used to solve sequential learning problems. However, in practice, they still suffer from the problem of reward imbalance, which limits their use in many contexts. To solve this unbalanced reward problem, in this paper, we propose a novel model-based reinforcement learning algorithm called the expected n-step value iteration (EnVI). Unlike traditional model-based reinforcement learning algorithms, the proposed method uses a new return function that changes the discount of future rewards while reducing the influence of the current reward. We evaluated the performance of the proposed algorithm on a Treasure-Hunting game and a …Hill-Walking game. The results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can reduce the negative impact of unbalanced rewards and greatly improve the performance of traditional reinforcement learning algorithms.

Abstract: The issue of how to fully utilize natural daylighting of public buildings is one of the greatest practical objectives for lighting savings. The rapid and accurate prediction of the daylighting coefficient at the early design stage can provide a quantitative basis for energy-saving optimization. However, it is not comprehensive to determine the design parameters according to experience. The key problem that is still facing designers is the interoperability between building modeling and energy simulation tools. In this paper, an integrated approach using a dataset created by building information modeling and artificial neural network technology is developed for the fast optimal …daylight factor prediction of large public spaces at the early design stage. According to this approach, the value of daylight factors is calculated for different windowsill heights, window heights and widths by Autodesk® Revit and Ecotect Analysis to form a dataset. With this dataset, an artificial neural network model is established using the backpropagation algorithm to predict the relevant design parameters. With their large interior spaces, the reading areas of the aboveground five floors in Chengdu University of Technology Library are selected to carry out the daylight factor experiment and rapid prediction. A total of 495 groups of experimental data are randomly divided into training and testing sets. The root mean squared errors are below 0.1, which indicates a high regression model fitting. A total of 225,369 groups of prepared data are used in the prediction model to obtain the optimal windowsill height (1.0 m), window height (2.4 m) and window width (2.1 m) for five floors in the case of the maximum daylighting coefficient. Finally, a smartphone app is designed to facilitate daylight factor prediction without any experience in modeling and simulation tools, which is simple and available to realize prediction visualization and historical result analysis.

Abstract: The amount of audio visual content kept in networked repositories has increased dramatically in recent years. Many video hosting websites exist, such as YouTube, Metacafe, and Google Video. Currently, indexing and categorising these videos is a time-consuming task. The system either asks the user to provide tags for the videos they submit, or manual labelling is used. The aim of this research is to develop a classifier that can accurately identify videos. Every video has content that is either visual, audio, or text. Researchers categorised the videos based on any of these three variables. With the Pattern Change with Size …Invariance (PCSI) algorithm, this study provides a hybrid model that takes into account all three components of the video: audio, visual, and textual content. This study tries to classify videos into broad categories such as education, sports, movies, and amateur videos. Key feature extraction and pattern matching would be used to accomplish this. A fuzzy logic and ranking system would be used to assign the tag to the video. The proposed system is tested only on a virtual device in addition a legitimate distributed cluster for the aim of reviewing real-time performance, especially once the amount and duration of films are considerable. The efficiency of video retrieval is measured with metrics like accuracy, precision, and recall is over 99% success. Show more

Choosing which set of requirements can be done according to cost and time is an NP-hard problem known as Next Release Problem (NRP). In this article, a multi objective evolutionary algorithm (MOEA) framework is proposed to solve NRP. The framework applies the non-repetitive population, integrates solutions and external repository. Furthermore, a novel approach is implemented to satisfy the constraints of the problem. In this framework, six evolutionary algorithms are implemented and using seven quality indicators, the achieved results of that algorithms are compared with the original versions of …same algorithms. Through using HV (the ratio of the region covered by Pareto Front) and NDS (the number of solutions in the Pareto Front) metrics, the effects of the proposed algorithms are compared with other works’ results. The efficacy of the proposed MOEA framework is measured using three real world datasets. The gained results represent that the implemented algorithms perform better than other related algorithms previously published. Show more

Abstract: The study examines various studies on Named Entity Recognition (NER) and Part of Speech (POS) tagging for the Urdu language conducted by academics and researchers. POS and NER tagging for Urdu still faces obstacles in terms of increasing accuracy while lowering false-positive rates and labelling unknown terms, despite the efforts of numerous researchers. In addition, ambiguity exists when tagging terms with different contextual meanings within a sentence. Due to the fact that Urdu is an inflectional, derivational, morphologically rich, and context-sensitive language, the existing models, such as Linguistic rule application, N-gram Markov model, Tree Tagger, random forest (RF) tagger, etc., …were unable to produce accurate experimental results on Urdu language data. The significance of this study is that it fills a gap in the literature concerning the lack of POS and NER tagging for the Urdu language. For Urdu POS and NER tagging, we propose a deep learning model with a well-balanced set of language-independent features as well as a survey of important Urdu POS/NER techniques. In addition, this is the first study to use residual biDirectional residual Long short-term memory (residual biLSTM) architecture trained on the Urmono dataset in conjunction with the randomly initialised word2vec, fastText and mBERT embeddings are utilised to generate word or character vectors.For each experiment, the paper also employs the evaluation methods of Macro-F1, precision, precision, and recall. The proposed method with mbert embedding as word vectors provides best results of F1 score for POS and NER at 91.11% and 99.11% respectively. Also, the accuracy, precision and recall for POS are reported at 94.85%, 91.79% and 90.77%. Similarly, the accuracy, precision and recall for NER of the proposed model are reported at 99.77%, 98.78% and 99.45% respectively, which are higher than baseline models. Show more

Abstract: The technique of integrating images from two or more sensors that were taken from the same place or the same object is known as image fusion. The goal is to get more spectral and spatial information from the combined image as a whole than from the individual images. It is required to fuse the images in order to improve the spatial and spectral quality of both panchromatic and multispectral images. This study introduces a novel method for fusing remote sensing images that combines L0 smoothing, NSCT (Non-subsampled Contourlet Transform), SR (Sparse Representation), and MAR (Max absolute rule). The multispectral and …panchromatic images are initially divided into lower and higher frequency components using the L0 smoothing filter as the method of fusion. The fusion process is then carried out, utilising a technique that combines NSCT and SR to fuse low-frequency components. Similar to this, the Max-absolute fusion rule is used to fuse high-frequency components. In conclusion, the disintegration of fused low-frequency and high-frequency data yields the final image. Our method yields an enhanced outcome in terms of the correlation coefficient, Entropy, spatial frequency, and fusion of mutual information for both the term of picture quality enhancement and visual evaluation. This suggested approach produces superior outcomes after execution. This study makes use of the Landsat-7ETM+, IKONOS, and Quick Bird datasets. Different satellites are used to take each image. There have been two examples of each image used. In comparison to previous Traditional Methods, the proposed image fusion techniques’ output has a quality that is more than 20% higher. Show more

Abstract: Maintaining accurate topology of the low-voltage distribution grid (LVDG) are critical to the operations and maintenance of power distribution systems. However, this goal is hard to achieve due to the fast-changing LVDG topology. To this end, we focus on the abnormal customer-transformer relationships identification in the LVDG and propose an identification method based on an A daptive D ual-channel G raph W avelet Neural N etwork (ADGWN) consisting of two identical GWNs connected with the attention mechanism. In the proposed ADGWN, two GWNs learn customer embedding simultaneously from the LVDG topology graph and the feature graph that is …constructed from customer electricity consumption data with the k -Nearest Neighbor algorithm. The topology identification results of these two GNNs are then adaptively fused to form the ultimate identification result with the attention mechanism by dynamically balancing the aforementioned two types of information. To validate the performance of our proposed method, we further build a real benchmarking dataset from customer electricity consumption data collected from a certain substation in Shanghai, China. Experimental results show that the proposed ADGWN achieves 100.0% LVDG topology identification accuracy and significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art. Our proposed method can help operators of power distribution systems maintain the accurate topology in a timely and economic manner. Show more

Abstract: A dynamic world has different uncertainties. These uncertainties always impact adversely while making decisions. Existing systems sometimes fail as they are trained without considering uncertainty inclusion due to the dynamic nature of the problem. This is quite observed in gaming, which is most dynamic and contributes adversely while deciding for the next move. Strategic games have fewer uncertainties rather than ground sports. Many types of factors add uncertainty to the system. There is a need of handling the required uncertainty which will help in making the decision. Also while finding similarities between games or matches, player and playing style results …don’t depict exact similarities between them. There is a need to measure uncertainty-based similarities as it helps in deciding the situation of the game or player. Here Uncertainty based decision support system is proposed which takes uncertainty as input rather than only considering patterns of input. Patterns always help if the system is more static while considering a dynamic system where we need to consider patterns and uncertainties in the scenarios. Results are shown on limited types of moves in game data and how uncertainty-based similarity and next move selection are improved. Show more

Abstract: Background: Data redundancy (DR) and data privacy (DP) is a critical issue that increases storage and security problems in cloud environments. Data de-duplication (DD) is one of the efficient backup storage techniques to reduce DR. The main problem with using cloud computing (CC) is more storage, the cost of deployment and maintenance. Objective: To minimize this problem, High-performance Grade Byte Check and Fuzzy search Techniques (HP-GBC-FST) based DD is proposed in this paper. Methods: The HP-GBC-FST is based on the pre-process of data by comparing their first byte and categorizing the byte based on the first …byte. After DD, encryption has been processed on data to improve the data security in the cloud environment and then encrypted data is stored in the cloud. This HP-GBC-FST recognizes DR at the block level, reducing the redundancy of data more effectively. Then, HP-GBC-FST is created to detect and eliminate duplicates, improve security and storage efficiency (SE), reduce DD time and computation cost (CPC) in the DD verification and auditing phase. Result: The experiment has been conducted in an Intel I5 system and 500GB, 1Tb memory space and implemented in the Java programming environment. The results of the experiment reveal that the HP-GBC-FST improved the DD ratio and security by 3.7 and 97%, respectively, and reduced the DD time and CPC by 87% and 84.4%, respectively, over the existing technique. Conclusion: It concluded that the HP-GBC-FST has greater improvement over DD data in the cloud. Finally, the performance analysis of the HP-GBC-FST achieves higher storage, both privacy and security attributes, and incurs minimal CPC, DD time compared with the state he art research. Show more

Abstract: Neutrosophic Set (NS) allows us to handle uncertainty and indeterminacy of the data. Several researchers have investigated the Transportation Problems (TP) with various forms of input data. This paper emphasizes a dynamic optimal solution framework for TPs in a neutrosophic setting. This paper investigates a Neutrosophic Transportation Problem (NTP) in which supply, demand, and transportation cost are considered as Single-Valued Neutrosophic Trapezoidal Numbers (SVNTrNs). The weighted possibilistic mean value of their truth, indeterminacy, and facility membership function are calculated. Then, NTP is modelled as a parametric Linear Programming Problem (LPP) and solved. Further, the drawbacks of the existing approaches and …advantages of the developed method are discussed. Finally, the real-time problem and numerical illustrations are presented and compared to existing solutions.
