Abstract: Rolling bearings are a key component of rotating machinery and their health directly affects the safe operation of mechanical equipment. Therefore, fault diagnose for rolling bearings is very important. The fault diagnosis process of rolling bearings includes three stages: signal decomposition, feature extraction, and pattern recognition. Variational mode decomposition (VMD) can suppress end effects, but improper parameter settings will cause information losses or excessive decomposition. In this work, an improved whale optimization algorithm (IWOA) is applied to parameter settings of VMD. Correspondingly, an IWOA-VMD signal decomposition method is proposed. The decomposed signal is combined with a Laplace score method and …classifier to remove the redundancy and noise in the feature set and obtain a low-dimensional sensitive feature subset. Then, aiming at the problem of the parameter settings of a least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) affecting the recognition performance and accuracy, a salp swarm algorithm (SSA) is used to globally optimize the penalty parameter and kernel width in the LSSVM to establish an SSA-LSSVM fault recognition model. This model is applied to the fault diagnosis of rolling bearings. In particular, rolling bearing fault samples at Case Western Reserve University are used to verify the method. The results indicate that the proposed method is effective and improves the speed and accuracy of fault diagnosis. Show more

Abstract: The most common type of disease that is normal among women is lung cancer. It is one of the main reasons among women, despite great efforts to prevent it through trackers. An automatic disease detection system helps doctors identify and provide accurate results, thus minimizing the mortality rate. Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) has minimal human intervention and produces more accurate results than humans. It will be a difficult and lengthy task that depends on the experience of the pathologists. Deep learning methods have been shown to give better results when correlated with ML and extract the best highlights from images. …The main objective of this article is to propose a deep learning technique in combination with a convolution neural network (CNN) with a chimpanzee optimization algorithm to diagnose lung cancer. Here, CNN is used for feature extraction and used for extracted feature detection. Experimental results show that the proposed system achieves 100% accuracy, 99% sensitivity, 99% recall, and 98% F1 score compared to other traditional models. As the system achieved correct results, it can help doctors easily investigate lung cancer. Show more

Abstract: Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are a new technology that helps with a variety of practical uses, involving healthcare and monitoring the environment. In recent years, security has been considered as important topic in WSN since it is vulnerable to several security threats. Recent works uses cryptographic techniques to ensure security in WSN. In existing works, the security methodologies require high resources but still assure low level security. To resolve this issue, this paper proposes a node validation method which is lightweight as well as assures high level security. The main idea behind this work is to integrate Blockchain technology with …WSN environment. We presented a novel Blockchain-assisted Node Validation (BlockNode) methodology for ensuring high level security. To maintain energy efficiency, the network is segregated into multiple clusters by Valid Cluster Formation (VCF) approach. In each cluster, optimum CH is selected by using type-II fuzzy algorithm. The VCF approach only allows the valid nodes which are authorized by Blockchain validation. Then, the data transmission is secured by Jacobian Curve Encryption (JCE) algorithm. For optimal route selection, Energy-aware Reinforcement Learning (ERL) algorithm is proposed. Overall, the proposed work high level security with minimum resource consumption. The experimental results obtained from NS-3.25 simulation tool confirms that the proposed work achieves better performance in security level, encryption & decryption time, delay, energy consumption, delivery ratio and throughput.

Abstract: The purpose of the Chinese similar case matching task is to compare the similarity of two case texts with a given anchor text and find out which text is more similar to the anchor text. In the area of law, it plays an important role and has been of interest to many researchers. Previous approaches have compared legal texts only at the text semantic level, without incorporating article information of law. In addition, the position correlation of words in case texts is often important, but it has not been considered in previous approaches. This paper proposes a method which extracts …features from the semantic similarity level and from the level of related articles of law, respectively, to enable similarity comparisons of legal case texts. When similarity comparisons are made at the semantic similarity level, a novel capsule network method is proposed based on siamese structure that introduces the position correlation and the routing mechanism within the capsule network is improved so that deep text features between case pairs can be learned. When similarity comparisons are made at the level of related articles of law, related articles of law are selected and coded and interacted with the case text features to generate legal features. Experiment is conducted with a real-world legal text dataset, and the proposed model outperformed all baseline models, demonstrating effectiveness of the proposed model. Further, to confirm the generality of the improved capsule network proposed in the paper on long text datasets, this paper also carried out experiments on two long text datasets, demonstrating effectiveness of the improved capsule network proposed in the model.

Abstract: The primary goal is to enhance the PSN by maintaining stable and consistent MGS operation and reestablishing stable operating conditions after generational interruptions. The artificial neural network is created using a bio-inspired optimization algorithm, such as particle swarm optimization, second generation particle swarm optimization, and new model particle swarm optimization., which directs the evolutionary learning process to determine the most optimal solution. For the best result, the ANN and bio-inspired algorithm (BIANN) are coupled. The suggested BIANN-based controller is made comprised of an internal current and an external power loop. The proper PI gain parameter is tuned using BIANN, allowing …the MGS to be stable. Three PSOs are used to investigate the suggested method, and the Matlab Simulink platform is used to create the fitness functions. The results are examined and contrasted. The new model’s particle swarm optimization provides MGS functioning and stability that is largely accurate and reliable. Show more

Abstract: The influence maximization problem is one of the hot research topics in the field of complex networks in recent years. The so-called influence maximization problem is how to select the seed set that propagates the largest amount of information on a given network. In practical applications, networks are often exposed to complicated environments, and both link-specific and node-specific attacks can have a significant impact on the network’s propagation performance. Several pilot studies have revealed the crux of the robust influence maximization problem, but the current work available is not comprehensive. On the one hand, existing studies only consider the case …that the network structure is stable or under link-specific attacks, and few researches have concentrated on the case when the network structure is under node-specific attacks. On the other hand, the current algorithm fails to combine the information of the search process well to solve the robust influence maximization problem. Aiming at these deficiencies, in this paper, a metric for evaluating the robust influence performance of seeds under node-specific attacks is developed. Guided by this, a genetic algorithm (GA) maintaining the principle of diversity concern (DC) to solve the Robust Influence Maximization (RIM) problem is designed, called DC-GA-RIM. DC-GA-RIM contains several problem-orientated operators and fully considers diverse information in the optimization process, which significantly improves the search ability of the algorithm. The effectiveness of DC-GA-RIM in solving the RIM problem is demonstrated on a variety of networks. The superiority of this algorithm over other approaches is shown. Show more

Abstract: As a complex uncertain differential equation, how to solve the multi-dimensional uncertain differential equation is a complicated and difficult problem. This paper will be devoted to the α-path of some special multi-dimensional uncertain differential equations, namely, multi-factor uncertain differential equations, nested uncertain differential equations and multi-factor nested uncertain differential equations. The α-path method is used to study the numerical solution problems of the above three special multi-dimensional uncertain differential equations. At the same time, the inverse uncertainty distributions and expected values of these three special multi-dimensional uncertain differential equations are also obtained. At last, the numerical algorithm examples are given …to verify it. Show more

Abstract: Text summarization (TS) plays a crucial role in natural language processing (NLP) by automatically condensing and capturing key information from text documents. Its significance extends to diverse fields, including engineering, healthcare, and others, where it offers substantial time and resource savings. However, manual summarization is a laborious task, prompting the need for automated text summarization systems. In this paper, we propose a novel strategy for extractive summarization that leverages a generative adversarial network (GAN)-based method and Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) word embedding. BERT, a transformer-based architecture, processes sentence bidirectionally, considering both preceding and following words. This contextual understanding …empowers BERT to generate word representations that carry a deeper meaning and accurately reflect their usage within specific contexts. Our method adopts a generator and discriminator within the GAN framework. The generator assesses the likelihood of each sentence in the summary while the discriminator evaluates the generated summary. To extract meaningful features in parallel, we introduce three dilated convolution layers in the generator and discriminator. Dilated convolution allows for capturing a larger context and incorporating long-range dependencies. By introducing gaps between filter weights, dilated convolution expands the receptive field, enabling the model to consider a broader context of words. To encourage the generator to explore diverse sentence combinations that lead to high-quality summaries, we introduce various noises to each document within our proposed GAN. This approach allows the generator to learn from a range of sentence permutations and select the most suitable ones. We evaluate the performance of our proposed model using the CNN/Daily Mail dataset. The results, measured using the ROUGE metric, demonstrate the superiority of our approach compared to other tested methods. This confirms the effectiveness of our GAN-based strategy, which integrates dilated convolution layers, BERT word embedding, and a generator-discriminator framework in achieving enhanced extractive summarization performance.

Abstract: Weather Forecasting is very essential as it is helpful in saving lives and materials by predicting disasters such as cyclonic storms, tsunamis, extreme rainfall, etc. Within the defined range of rainfall rate approximation, this study investigates the application of Fuzzy Logic (FL) to forecast rainfall using the Interval Type –2 Fuzzy Inference System (IT2FIS). Environmental parameters which influence rainfall have been applied in this analysis and every implementation is carried out using MATLAB 9.13. The performance of IT2FIS model is compared with the actual data. Correlation coefficient (R 2 ) and Root Mean-Squared Error (RMSE) have been used to evaluate …the performance metrics of the proposed model. The results suggest that the IT2FIS model can capture the dynamic behavior of rainfall data and generate reasonable results, implying that it might be beneficial in long-term rainfall prediction.

Abstract: In this new era of intelligence and automation, it is important to develop intelligent software to analyse traffic data and detect abnormal activities occurring in the public. Information from GPS, Surveillance cameras, traffic management systems etc will be helpful for the researchers to develop such algorithms. In this research work, we propose a method to detect traffic accidents and used a deep convolutional neural network (D-CNN) and Centroid based vehicle tracking algorithm for vehicle detection. Overlapping bounding boxes and speed of the vehicle are considered for collision detection. The vehicle is tracked using a centroid tracking algorithm to find acceleration, …speed and trajectory values of each vehicle in the continuous frames. The trajectory and angle change after the collision can be used to classify the accidents. The result shows a detection accuracy of 99% in such a way outperforms the other latest methods. The results from the proposed method can be used in several accident reconstruction softwares like PC crash, ARPro etc. Show more
