Abstract: Low-resource language in machine translation systems poses multiple complications regarding accuracy in translation due to insufficient incorporation of linguistic information. The difference in the linguistic information between the language pair also significantly impacts the dataset creation for improving translation accuracy. Although neural machine translation achieves a state-of-the-art approach, dealing with low-resource language is challenging since it struggled with limited resources. This paper attempts to address the data scarcity problem using augmentation of synthetic parallel sentences, source-target phrase pairs, and language models at the target side for English-to-Mizo and Mizo-to-English translation via transformer-based neural machine translation. We have attained state-of-the-art results …for both directions of translation. Show more

Abstract: Handwriting robots as an application of Imitation Learning (IL). However, most methods have poor accuracy of trajectory generation under task constraints, and models are less robust to changes in demonstration data. This paper proposes an IL algorithm named Bagging in Hidden Semi-Markov Model (BHSMM). The demonstration data is first divided into several sub-datasets, and each sub-dataset is encoded into several basic learning models by Hidden Semi-Markov Models (HSMM). Then the relationship between the task constraint points and the basic learning models is used to derive the weights. Finally, the trajectories adapted to the task constraints are generated based on the …weights. We conducted experiments on the handwritten dataset LASA and compared the accuracy error with the original HSMM method. The results show that the BHSMM can generate trajectories that satisfy the position and velocity constraints and is more robust to changes in the demonstration data than the HSMM. In addition, satisfactory results are obtained in trajectory generation for real robot handwriting. Show more

Abstract: Students’ English learning ability depends on the knowledge and practice provided during the teaching sessions. Besides, language usage improves the self-ability to scale up the learning levels for professional communication. Therefore, the appraisal identification and ability estimation are expected to be consistent for different English learning levels. This paper introduces Performance Data-based Appraisal Identification Model (PDAIM) to support such reference. This proposed model is computed using fuzzy logic to identify learning level lags. The lag in performance and retains in scaling-up are identified using different fuzzification levels. The study suggests a fuzzy logic model pinpointing learning level gaps and consistently …evaluating performance across various English learning levels. The PDAIM model gathers high and low degrees of variance in the learning process to give students flexible learning knowledge. Based on the student’s performance and capacity for knowledge retention, it enables scaling up the learning levels for professional communication. The performance measure in the model is adjusted to accommodate the student’s diverse grades within discernible assessment boundaries. This individualized method offers focused education and advancement to students’ unique requirements and skills. The model contains continuous normalization to enhance the fuzzification process by employing prior lags and retentions. Several indicators, including appraisal rate, lag detection, number of retentions, data analysis rate, and analysis time, are used to validate the PDAIM model’s performance. The model may adjust to the various performance levels and offer pertinent feedback using fuzzification. The high and low variation levels in the learning process are accumulated to provide adaptable learning knowledge to the students. Therefore, the performance measure is modified to fit the student’s various grades under distinguishable appraisal limits. If a consistent appraisal level from the fuzzification is observed for continuous sessions, then the learning is scaled up to the next level, failing, which results in retention. This proposed model occupies constant normalization for improving the fuzzification using previous lags and retentions. Hence the performance of this model is validated using appraisal rate, lag detection, number of retentions, data analysis rate, and analysis time. Show more

Abstract: Vehicle Edge Computing (VEC) is a promising technique to improve the quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE) in autonomous driving by exploiting the resources at the network edge. However, the high mobility of the vehicles leads to stochastic communication link duration, and the tasks generated by various applications in autonomous driving incur fierce competition for resources. These challenges cause excessive task completion delays. In this paper, we propose a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) partial computation offloading scheme that leverages the prediction results of the communication link lifetime between vehicles. A History track, Current interactions and Future planning trajectory-aware Gated …Recurrent Units (HCF-GRU) network is built to capture the essential factors to improve the prediction accuracy. Then, we design a GRU-based Proximal Policy Optimization (GRU-PPO) algorithm to obtain an optimal one-to-many offloading decision to minimize the task execution cost. The HCF-GRU prediction algorithm is evaluated on a real world vehicle trajectory dataset, and the performance of the GRU-PPO algorithm is analyzed on extensive numerical simulations. Experimental results demonstrate that our prediction network and offloading decision algorithm outperform the baseline methods in terms of prediction accuracy and task execution cost. Show more

Abstract: In the context of globalization, cross-border e-commerce platforms have become the main way for enterprises to achieve international trade transformation and overseas investment. From this, it can be seen that cross-border e-commerce platforms are of great importance to the development of enterprises, and the development of cross-border e-commerce platforms is also a necessary choice for the development of the times. In the new era, in order to make cross-border e-commerce platforms better serve enterprises and bring economic benefits to their development. The sustainable development capability evaluation of third-party cross-border e-commerce (TPCBEC) platform is a MAGDM. Recently, the Exponential TODIM (ExpTODIM) …technique and Evaluation Based on Distance from Average Solution (EDAS) technique has been employed to cope with MAGDM issues. The 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic sets (2TLNSs) are employed as a tool for portraying uncertain information during the sustainable development capability evaluation of TPCBEC platform. In this paper, the 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic number Exponential TODIM-EDAS (2TLNN-ExpTODIM-EDAS) technique is implemented to manage the MAGDM under 2TLNSs. Finally, a numerical study for sustainable development capability evaluation of TPCBEC platform is constructed to validate the implemented technique.

Abstract: The traditional rule-based energy management strategy for plug-in hybrid vehicles has issues, such as difficulty in online correction and limited online optimization capabilities. In addition, the global optimization energy management strategy cannot be applied online or in real-time. Considering the above difficulties, this study proposes a real-time optimization energy management strategy based on the Markov chain for driving condition prediction and online optimization with the minimum principle. To verify the proposed control strategy, the plug-in hybrid vehicle dynamics model, driving condition prediction model, and online optimization control model were first established. The initial value of the battery state of charge …was set to 0.4 under the UDDS (Urban Dynamometer Driving Schedule) standard cycle. The simulation results showed that the comprehensive fuel consumption cost was 1.66 yuan, which was 8.28% better than the energy economy of the traditional rule-based energy management strategy. At the same time, a complete vehicle test was also conducted based on a sample vehicle test platform. The experimental results indicated that the energy management strategy proposed herein exhibits better fuel economy compared to that exhibited by the traditional rule-based energy management strategy. Simulations and experiments have verified the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy in this study. Show more

Abstract: Digital technologies, such as big data, the Internet, and artificial intelligence, are rapidly advancing. Photovoltaic building materials enterprises (PBMEs) have been leveraging digital transformation to enhance their technological innovation capabilities and gain a competitive edge. In the global context of transitioning towards a low-carbon economy, the deep integration of digital technology offers a new solution for the green transformation of PBMEs. The synergy between green traction digitalization and digitalization enables green practices, making collaborative integration crucial for the far-reaching development of PBMEs. Within the framework of China’s “double carbon” policy, domestic PBMEs are experiencing exponential growth, where digital green innovation …(DGI) has become their primary objective. In this DGI context, selecting the right partners is the first step that significantly impacts the efficiency and effectiveness of DGI implementation. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to assist PBMEs in selecting high-quality partners, promoting the DGI process, enhancing technological innovation capabilities, and gaining a competitive advantage. To achieve this, the paper proposes constructing a theoretical framework for evaluating the DGI cooperation ability of PBMEs using the theory of ecological reciprocity. Based on this framework, an evaluation index system is established to assess the DGI cooperation ability of potential partners The interval intuitionistic fuzzy evaluation method, combined with a double combination weighting approach, is employed to evaluate the DGI ability of selected partners. Furthermore, by applying field theory, a dynamic selection model for strategic alliance partners is developed to aid PBMEs in selecting high-quality partners for DGI and facilitating the DGI process. The research findings indicate that: i) The evaluation standard framework for DGI cooperation ability of PBMEs encompasses “symbiosis,” “mutualism,” and “regeneration,” along with the crucial environmental element of mutual trust. ii) The evaluation method based on double combination weighting effectively assesses the comprehensive DGI capabilities of selected PBME partners. The application of field theory enables scientific and effective dynamic partner selection for PBMEs through resource complementarity. iii) The proposed framework and partner selection model can be employed in real partner selection scenarios for PBMEs, allowing them to choose high-quality partners, enhance their DGI capabilities, and attain practical selection outcomes. This paper presents novel partner selection model that integrates decision rules and resource complementarity, enabling PBMEs to efficiently select DGI partners from a pool of potential candidates and improve their innovation efficiency. The utilization of the double combination weighting method and field theory in the partner selection paradigm of D extends the theoretical foundation, while the establishment of the DGI capability evaluation index system for PBME partners contributes to empirical applications.

Abstract: With the increasing levels of intelligence and automation, the relationship between humans and vehicles has evolved from a utilitarian perspective to a partnership. Among the crucial factors for enhancing user experiences are the analysis of driving tasks, the construction of user needs models, and the design of intelligent interfaces. Based on this background, this paper proposes a cognitive task analysis model using intelligent steering wheel information interaction design as the vehicle. The model aims to extract key design elements to assist designers in making design decisions, thereby improving the human-machine cooperation performance of intelligent automobiles and enhancing user perceptual experiences. …Firstly, within the context of human-machine cooperation systems, a cognitive task analysis method integrating the SRK model is proposed. By analyzing the behavioral decision characteristics between the vehicle and the user, a framework for the human-machine interface (HMI) logic of the steering wheel and a dynamic layout prototype are established. Secondly, the design of the steering wheel’s HMI interaction is based on an analysis of users’ affective needs and rational physiological characteristics. This paper integrates the analysis of users’ affective needs to identify design elements that align with a high level of user satisfaction. Lastly, the design methodology model is applied to a navigation scenario, resulting in the creation of a steering wheel HMI prototype within a human-machine cooperation system. The prototype is then subjected to a combined subjective and objective experimental analysis, thereby validating the superiority of the steering wheel HMI’s detection indicators over those of the central control HMI and establishing the design pattern for the steering wheel HMI.

Abstract: Chinese Language learning grows ever more essential to develop the students’ personalities and values as the curriculum, thereby improving teaching strategies based on students’ learning preferences are more crucial. Students’ participation in learning the Chinese Language is generally minimal and typically operates in a passive learning mode. The development of the Chinese Language instruction in these higher educational settings will be impacted by the absence of an organized strategy for teaching the Chinese Language. An algorithm is called the Fuzzy Pattern-driven Personalized Teaching (FPPT) has been proposed to identify the association between the students learning patterns and interests in the …Chinese Language in the higher education for providing the personalized teaching to solve these challenges. Fuzzy sets are incorporated into FP-Growth for personalized the Chinese Language learning to improve the suggestions by considering the ambiguous preferences and the proficiency levels. The fuzzy pattern is unrevealed by implementing the Frequent Pattern (FP) growth algorithm to find patterns in the students learning activity and preferences so that personalized the teaching methods can be developed to meet the needs of each student and maximize their motivation for the language learning. Using the support and the confidence measures, these identified Fuzzy association relationships of student learning interest results in personalized the Chinese Language teaching in the higher education. The experimental results showed that the proposed FPPT system significantly improved each student’s learning outcome, communication effectiveness, learning motivation, and the Language proficiency level.

Abstract: The introduction of fractional order accumulation has played a crucial role in the development of grey forecasting methods. However, accurately identifying a single fractional order accumulation for modeling diverse sequences is challenging due to the dependence of different fractional order accumulations on data structure over time. To address this issue, we propose a novel fractional grey model abbreviated as FGMMA, incorporating a model averaging method. The new model combines existing fractional grey models by using four judgment criteria, including Akaike information criteria, Bayesian information criteria, Mallows criteria, and Jackknife criteria. Meanwhile, the cutting-edge algorithm named breed particle swarm optimization is …employed to search the optimal fractional order for each candidate model to enhance the effectiveness of the designed model. Subsequently, we conduct a Monte Carlo simulation for verification and validation purposes. Finally, empirical analysis based on energy consumption in three countries is conducted to verify the applicability of the proposed model. Compared with other benchmark models, we can conclude that the proposed model outperforms the other competitive models. Show more

Abstract: Conversational recommender systems use natural language conversations to elicit user preferences and recommend items proactively. Existing methods based on graph neural networks have been proven to be effective in exploiting knowledge graphs. However, node positions are often treated as constants, which leads to the neglect of graph connectivity due to fuzzy processing. In addition, although the transformer has significant advantages in understanding the text, its secondary computational complexity may be incapable when dealing with long texts. In order to solve these problems, we propose an additive positional conversational recommender model called APCR. This model converts the pair product of transformer …into a linear operation, and uses the Laplacian eigenvector to build a location graph. The extended graph neural network captures the topology structure of the location knowledge graph. Specifically, we design an encoder based on additive attention to break through the bottleneck of long text. Furthermore, we develop a recommendation model based on a positional graph neural network to match items with dialogue context, thereby capturing the graph topology. Extensive experiments on the REDIAL dataset show significant improvements in our proposed model over the state-of-the-art methods in recommendation and dialogue generation evaluations. Show more

Abstract: Multi-granularity hesitant fuzzy linguistic terms set is an effective expression of linguistic information, which can utilize some fuzzy linguistic terms to evaluate various common qualitative information and plays an important role when experts provide linguistic information to express hesitancy. Since the alternative description in the decision-making information system is characterized by multi-granularity, uncertainty, and vagueness, this paper proposes a multi-granularity hesitant fuzzy linguistic decision-making VIKOR method based on entropy weight and information transformation. Specifically, this paper firstly adopts fuzzy information entropy to obtain the weights of different attributes and introduces a multi-granularity hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set conversion method to …realize the semantic information conversion between different granularities. Then for the converted affiliation linguistic decision matrix, the entropy weighting method is used to obtain the weights of different affiliation granularity layers, and a weight optimization VIKOR method based on the affiliation linguistic decision matrix is further proposed to rank the alternatives. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed method verified by arithmetic examples, experimental analysis is carried out in terms of parameter sensitivity analysis and comparison with other methods. The experimental results prove the rationality and effectiveness of the proposed method. Show more

Abstract: Now, the Cyber security is facing unprecedented difficulties as a result of the proliferation of smart devices in the Internet of Things (IoT) environment. The rapid growth in the number of Internet users over the past two decades has increased the need for cyber security. Users have provided new opportunities for attackers to do harm. Limited security budgets leave IoT devices vulnerable and easily hacked to launch distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, with disastrous results. Unfortunately, due to the unique nature of the Internet of Things environment, most security solutions and intrusion detection systems (IDS) cannot be directly adapted to the …IoT with acceptable security performance and are vulnerable to various attacks that do not benefit. In this paper we propose an optimal secure defense mechanism for DDoS in IoT network using feature optimization and intrusion detection system (OSD-IDS). In OSD-IDS mechanism, first we introduce an enhanced ResNet architecture for feature extraction which extracts more deep features from given traffic traces. An improved quantum query optimization (IQQO) algorithm for is used feature selection to selects optimal best among multiple features which reduces the data dimensionality issues. The selected features have given to the detection and classification module to classify the traffic traces are affected by intrusion or not. For this, we design a fast and accurate intrusion detection mechanism, named as hybrid deep learning technique which combines convolutional neural network (CNN) and diagonal XG boosting (CNN-DigXG) for the fast and accurate intrusion detection in IoT network. Finally, we validate the performance of proposed technique by using different benchmark datasets are BoNeSi-SlowHTTPtest and CIC-DDoS2019. The simulation results of proposed IDS mechanism are compared with the existing state-of-art IDS mechanism and analyze the performance with respects to different statistical measures. The results show that the DDoS detection accuracy of proposed OSD-IDS mechanism is high as 99.476% and 99.078% for BoNeSi-SlowHTTPtest, CICDDoS2019, respectively. Show more

Abstract: Video anomaly detection refers to the automatic identification of abnormal behaviors, objects, or events in videos. However, current methods for anomaly detection based on original frames lack a comprehensive understanding of the importance of foreground information, making it challenging to efficiently address video anomaly detection in the presence of complex background interference. In this paper, we propose a video anomaly detection algorithm based on Background Separation Network (BSN) to address this issue. Firstly, we utilize a video stabilization algorithm to reduce video jitter and enhance the quality of input video frames. Secondly, BSN shifts the focus from the entire frame …to the foreground region with higher anomaly detection value. BSN utilizes the motion pixel distribution of the video as the basis for foreground extraction, enabling pixel-level background separation to obtain more accurate and complete foreground targets. Lastly, a certain proportion of foreground targets in the foreground image are masked as background, reducing the interference caused by redundant targets on the detection results. The proposed method achieves an accuracy of 96.2% on the UCSD ped2 dataset, demonstrating its effectiveness. This method contributes to accurately detecting abnormal behaviors in real-world surveillance videos to protect the safety of public lives and assets. Show more

Abstract: Effective data management has arisen as a major concern in today’s era of ubiquitous data generation from a plethora of intelligent gadgets. While data proliferation promises unparalleled benefits, it imposes significant storage and computing constraints, particularly on end-users with limited capabilities. To solve these difficulties, this article investigates the confluence of cloud storage, blockchain technology, public auditing, reputation systems, and dynamic auditing. Because of their low-cost data storage and processing capabilities, cloud computing services have grown in popularity, leading customers to embrace data outsourcing to reduce local administrative overhead. This study digs into a novel paradigm for ensuring the integrity …and security of data stored in cloud environments using blockchain technology. Integrating public auditing systems enables visible and verifiable data audits, ensuring consumers of data trustworthiness. A reputation system is also included to build trust among cloud service providers and users, improving the overall trustworthiness of the ecosystem. The suggested system also includes dynamic auditing, which allows for real-time changes and data verification, reacting to the changing nature of cloud-stored information. This study provides a thorough examination of the architectural components, techniques, and protocols used in this novel approach. We illustrate the feasibility and usefulness of our approach in ensuring data integrity, security, and reliability in cloud storage systems through empirical analysis and case studies. The findings show the potential benefits of this integrated strategy to solving the issues posed by the modern digital landscape’s tremendous proliferation of data. Through the synergistic integration of cloud storage, blockchain technology, public auditing, reputation systems, and dynamic auditing, this research provides a holistic solution for managing data in the cloud while ensuring data integrity, security, and trust. This comprehensive strategy lays the way for a more robust and dependable cloud data management ecosystem, increasing user trust in cloud-based services. Show more

Abstract: Pairwise fuzzy preference matrices can be constructed using expert ratings. The number of pairwise preference values to be specified by the experts increases quadratically with the number of options. Consistency (transitivity) allows to reduce this quadratic complexity to linear complexity which makes this approach feasible also for large scale applications. Preference values are usually expected to be on a fixed finite interval. Additive preference is defined on such a finite interval. However, completing preference matrices using additive consistency may yield preferences outside this finite interval. Multiplicative preference is defined on an infinite interval and is therefore not suitable here. …To overcome this problem we extend the concept of consistency beyond additive and multiplicative to arbitrary commutative, associative, and invertible operators. Infinitely many of such operators induce infinitely many types of consistency. As one example, we examine Einstein consistency, which is induced by the Einstein sum operator. Completing preference matrices using Einstein consistency always yields preferences inside the finite interval, which yields the first method that allows to construct large scale finite preference matrices using expert ratings. A case study with the real–world car preference data set indicates that Einstein consistency also yields more accurate preference estimates than additive or multiplicative consistency. Show more

Abstract: In the modern world, structured and semi-structured knowledge bases hold a considerable amount of data. There-fore, people who are familiar with formal query languages should not be the only ones who can efficiently and clearly query them. Semantic Parsing (SP) is converting natural language utterances into formal meaning representations. The paper suggests a model for SP that uses a novel method of utilizing the Semi-Supervised Generative Adversarial Network (SS-GAN) to enhance the classifier performance. The proposed SS-GAN extends the fine-tuning of word embedding architectures using unlabeled examples in a generative adversarial environment. We provide a regularization strategy for addressing the …mode missing problem and unstable training in SS-GAN. The main viewpoint is to use the extracted feature vectors from the discriminator. Hence, the generator produces outputs by aiding the discriminator’s learned features. A reconstruction loss is added to the loss function of the SS-GAN to drive the genera-tor to reconstruct outputs from the discriminator’s features, hence steering the generator toward actual data configurations. The proposed reconstruction loss improves the performance of SS-GAN, produces high-quality outputs, and may be combined with other regularization loss functions to improve the performance of diverse GANs. We employ BERT word embedding for our model, which can be included in a downstream task and fine-tuned as a model, while the pre-trained BERT model can capture various linguistic properties. We examine the suggested model using the WikiSQL and SparC datasets, and the analysis findings reveal our model outperforms its rivals. The findings from our experiments indicate that the need for labeled samples can be minimized, down to as few as 100 instances, while still achieving commendable classification outcomes. Show more

Abstract: Once industrial control systems are targeted by cyber-attacks, the consequences can be severe, including asset loss, environmental pollution, and public security risks. Risk assessment is an important way to ensure that industrial control systems operate efficiently, steadily and safely. The purpose of this paper is to develop a risk assessment model for industrial control systems based on asymmetric connection cloud and Choquet integral, which fully takes into account the fact that values of risk indicators are often fuzzy, random, asymmetrically distributed in finite intervals, and there are interactions among different indicators. To do so, we first establish a risk assessment …index system to ensure the full reflection of availability, integrity, and confidentiality in the results of risk assessment for industrial control systems. Then we establish classification standards for each evaluation indicator based on the importance of assets, vulnerabilities, and threats in evaluating the risk of industrial control systems. Next we develop a risk assessment model based on asymmetric connection cloud and Choquet integral to determine the risk level of industrial control systems. In the following, an example is provided to demonstrate the feasibility and reliability of this proposed model. The experimental results have demonstrated a high level of credibility in assessing cyber-attacks by the proposed model, indicating its potential for analyzing the current security and risk posture of industrial control systems.

Abstract: Knowledge tracing (KT), which aims to trace human knowledge learning process by using machines, has widely applied in online learning systems. It dynamically models student’s knowledge states in relation to different learning factors through their learning interactions. Recently, KT has attracted many researches attention due to its good performance to using deep learning. Although most of KT models have shown outstanding results, they have limitations: either ignore the human cognitive law and learning behavior, or lack the ability to go deeper modeling to trace knowledge state. In this paper, we propose a deeper knowledge tracking model integrating cognitive theory and …learning behavior (CLDKT). It united the advantages of memory network and recurrent neural network of the existing deep learning KT models for modeling student learning. To better implement CLDKT, we add the residual network (ResNet) to realize the deep modeling of learning behaviors. Extensive experiments on three open benchmark datasets to evaluate our model. Experimental results demonstrate that (I) CLDKT outperforms the state-of-the-art KT models on students’ performance prediction. (II) CLDKT can deeper modeling to trace knowledge state owing to the ResNet import. (III) CLDKT has better interpretability and predictability, which proves the effectiveness of the knowledge tracing model integrating cognitive law and learning behavior. Show more

Abstract: Currently, scientific big data management is generally faced with the problems of scattered data resources, inconsistent data standards, and the inability to share and circulate data safely. Research personnel attaches great importance to whether sharing the first-hand property is secure under clear ownership and whether it can contribute to the large society. The isolation of the data management system is the obvious obstacle to collecting and managing across-disciplinary data. To a large extent, sharing and trading scientific big data is the primary purpose to realize the clarity of property rights, secure data sharing, and the value of the data assets …step by step. We propose to construct a public platform for scientific big data management. The system is managed to unify and authorize the on-chain data, on which data sharing and trading is tracked throughout the process. Smart contracts are executed with vital functions and guarantee price matching in data transactions. We design the incentive mechanism which measures the incentive yield of data cost quality based on Evolutionary Game Theory and Data Quality Control Theory (EGQCY), considering how the cost of data quality performs in controlling and impacting the rational release of the incentive yields in the sharing and trading process. The experiments found that the design of incentive yield and incentive coefficients only significantly affected the transition from low-quality data to medium-quality data. Both parameters converged to fixed values as the cost of data quality increased. Show more

Abstract: The relationship between transportation infrastructure and entrepreneurship has been widely discussed by scholars. However, as an important transportation infrastructure, the impact of subway construction on entrepreneurship has been less studied. Based on the Synthetic Control Method, this paper takes the urban data of China from 2003 to 2017 as the research sample and uses the synthetic control method to study the influence of eight cities with subway service on entrepreneurship. The results show that: (1) The impact of subway openings on entrepreneurship varies across different cities. Specifically, it has a positive effect on entrepreneurship in Hangzhou, Zhengzhou, and Changsha, while …it has a negative impact on entrepreneurship in Harbin and Ningbo. In the cases of Suzhou, Wuxi, and Kunming, the influence on entrepreneurship levels could not be conclusively established. (2) For cities where entrepreneurship activity increased following the opening of subways, further investigation revealed that subway openings did not directly stimulate entrepreneurship within transport-related industries. Instead, they indirectly boosted the entrepreneurial landscape in Hangzhou, Zhengzhou, and Changsha by accelerating the flow of resources and enhancing spillover effects within their respective advantageous industries. This study’s contributions are twofold. Firstly, it introduces innovative perspectives and methodologies for assessing the impact of subway systems on entrepreneurship, highlighting the differentiated effects observed across various cities and industries. Secondly, it emphasizes the importance of considering local advantageous industries in subway construction planning for government authorities, as this can maximize the subway’s potential to drive entrepreneurship in urban areas.

Abstract: Emergency rescue decisions in case of a typhoon disaster can be considered multi-attribute decision-making problems. Considering the need for the timeliness and authenticity of decision-making information sources after such a disaster, this study proposed using learning methods to process real-time online data and interval-valued neutrosophic numbers (NNs) to express the classification results. Using Typhoon Hagupit as an example, a trained text classification model was used to classify real-time data (online comments), following which the classification results were used as weights to convert these data into interval-valued NNs. Finally, the technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) …method was adopted to rank the extent of damage caused by the typhoon in each region; the sorting results were consistent with the official statistical data, proving the effectiveness of the proposed method. A detailed sensitivity analysis was conducted to determine the optimal parameter settings of the classification model. Furthermore, the proposed method was compared with existing methods in terms of data conversion and deep learning efficiency; the results confirmed the superior capabilities of the proposed method. Notably, the proposed method can provide support to disaster management professionals in their post-disaster emergency relief work. Show more

Abstract: Photorealistic image style transfer aims to transfer style information while preserving the realistic details of the content image. However, an existing limitation is the inability to effectively balance the relationship between image realism and stylization intensity, resulting in poor image transfer performance. To address this issue, we propose an photorealistic style transfer method that fusing Frequency Separation Channel Attention Mechanism (FSCAM) and Mirror Fluid Pyramid Integration (MFPI). This method achieves superior stylization intensity while improves image realism. Firstly, we propose an improved channel attention mechanism called FSCAM. This mechanism utilizes Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) to decompose features into different frequency …components and screens out high-valued texture and color features, thereby enhancing the stylization intensity of the generated images. In addition, we designed a MFPI module. The module is able to integrate information from different scales, enhance the preservation of low-level detail features in high-level features, and thus improve the realism of the images. Experimental results demonstrate that our method not only enhances the stylization intensity but also improves the image realism. It achieves satisfactory performance in terms of subjective visual performance and objective evaluation metrics. Show more

Abstract: Effective energy futures price prediction is an important work in the energy market. However, the existing research on the application of “decomposition-prediction” framework still has shortcomings in noise processing and signal reconstruction. In view of this, this paper first uses PSO to optimize VMD to improve the effectiveness of single decomposition, and further uses SGMD to capture the remaining key information after extracting low-frequency modal components by using PSO-VMD technology. Further, combined with LSTM to predict each component, a new PSO-VMD-SGMD-LSTM hybrid model is innovatively constructed. The empirical research results based on the real energy market transaction price show that …compared with the benchmark model, the hybrid model proposed in this paper has obvious forecasting advantages in different forecasting scenarios.

Abstract: Let G be a graph and R = {r 1 , r 2 , …, r k } be an ordered subset of vertices of G , if every two vertices of G have different representation r (v |R ) = (d (v , r 1 ) , d (v , r 2 ) , …, d (v , r k )) with respect to R , then R is said to be a metric-based resolving parameter or resolving set of G and its minimum cardinality is called the metric dimension of graph G . Metric dimension …is considered as an important applied concept of graph theory especially in the localization of a network and also in the chemical graph theoretical study of molecular compounds. Therefore, it is hot topic to study for different families of graphs as well. Convex polytopes play an important role both in various branches of mathematics and in applied areas, most notably in linear programming. In this paper, we determine the metric-based resolving parameter of line graph of a convex polytope S n , and conclude that it has constant metric dimension but vary with the parity of n . This article presents a measurement of the line graph of a convex polytope, denoted as ( S n ) . The subsequent section provides the metric dimension of the resulting graph. There are two scenarios pertaining to the metric dimension of a selected graph with respect to the metric dimension. The metric dimension of even cycle-based convex polytopes is three, whereas for other values, the metric dimension is four. Show more

Abstract: In this paper, we present a novel DILTS algorithm that uses a new approach inspired by the energy efficiency of dragonflies. The algorithm optimizes the energy-harvesting mechanisms in IoT devices, inspired by the way dragonflies use wind energy to fly. A sophisticated algorithm optimizes power consumption during task execution, saving energy and speeding up tasks while maintaining the application throughput. The algorithm leverages lazy task scheduling (LTS) to enhance task execution performance. The proposed algorithm evaluates the energy levels of each task and implements an LTS method. This LTS approach improves performance and task management by streamlining scheduling data and …reducing overhead. The LTS model reliably optimizes the energy across microbenchmarks and real-time IoT devices. To assess the efficiency and practicality of our algorithm, we compared it to four alternatives. Our novel algorithm outperformed the others with a chip area of 856 μm2 , performance speed of 7.11 ns, scheduling accuracy of 94%, and response time of 2.61 ns. Our simulations showed that our proposed method reduced energy consumption by up to 10.02% compared to existing methods. We evaluated the performance of the algorithms on a Zynq 7000 FPGA using the Xilinx Vivado platform via simulations. Our novel algorithm can improve the energy efficiency of green data centers.

Abstract: Automatic text summarization is the task of creating concise and fluent summaries without human intervention while preserving the meaning of the original text document. To increase the readability of the languages, a summary should be generated. In this paper, a novel Nesterov-accelerated Adaptive Moment Estimation Optimization based on Long Short-Term Memory [NADAM-LSTM] has been proposed to summarize the text. The proposed NADAM-LSTM model involves three stages namely pre-processing, summary generation, and parameter tuning. Initially, the Giga word Corpus dataset is pre-processed using Tokenization, Word Removal, Stemming, Lemmatization, and Normalization for removing irrelevant data. In the summary generation phase, the text …is converted to the word-to-vector method. Further, the text is fed to LSTM to summarize the text. The parameter of the LSTM is then tuned using NADAM Optimization. The performance analysis of the proposed NADAM-LSTM is calculated based on parameters like accuracy, specificity, Recall, Precision, and F1 score. The suggested NADAM-LSTM achieves an accuracy range of 99.5%. The result illustrates that the proposed NADAM-LSTM enhances the overall accuracy better than 12%, 2.5%, and 1.5% in BERT, CNN-LSTM, and RNN respectively. Show more

Abstract: In the era of advanced technology, integrating and distributing data are crucial in smart grid-connected systems. However, as energy loads continue to increase, practical implementation of these systems faces challenges in resource allocation and lacks efficient data collaboration. In this study, the ant colony optimization algorithm is further investigated for stochastic crossover systems and cluster nodes in intelligent path planning management. To improve the pheromone setting method in smart grid-connected systems, we propose an adaptive intelligent ant colony optimization algorithm called the Group Allocation Optimization Algorithm (GAOA). This algorithm expands the pheromone transmission rate of network nodes, establishes a multi-constrained …adaptive model with data mining as the pheromone target, and analyzes the accuracy of resource allocation to import the optimal scheme for smart grid-connected systems. Through experimental results, we demonstrate that the optimized adaptive ant colony algorithm leads to effective improvements in grid-connected systems, pheromone evaluation, data throughput, convergence speed, and data load distribution. These findings provide evidence that the optimized ant colony algorithm is both feasible and effective for resource allocation in smart grid-connected systems. Show more

Abstract: Video forgery, a prevalent concern in today’s digital age, involves the deliberate manipulation of video content, often carried out using sophisticated video editing software. In response to this challenge, the need for an automated approach to detect forged video footage has become increasingly pressing. Our proposed methodology addresses this need by employing a multi-faceted strategy. It begins with the classification of video frames as either originating from genuine sources or having undergone manipulation. To assess the authenticity, the Δ r ¯ s metric is applied to evaluate the coherence of frame sequences. …Additionally, we’ve harnessed the power of machine learning, training a model on a diverse dataset, namely the VIFFD dataset. This robust machine learning approach, particularly the suggested Support Vector Machine (SVM) method, consistently achieves an impressive average accuracy of 94.4%, showcasing its potential as a dependable and effective solution for video forgery detection. In an era where the trustworthiness of video content is of paramount importance, our method emerges as a pivotal safeguard, contributing significantly to the preservation of the integrity and credibility of visual media.

Abstract: Semantic segmentation is a pivotal task in the field of computer vision, encompassing diverse applications and undergoing continuous development. Despite the growing dominance of deep learning methods in this field, many existing network models suffer from trade-offs between accuracy and computational cost, or between speed and accuracy. In essence, semantic segmentation aims to extract semantic information from deep features and optimize them before upsampling output. However, shallow features tend to contain more detailed information but also more noise, while deep features have strong semantic information but lose some spatial information. To address this issue, we propose a novel mutual optimization …strategy based on shallow spatial information and deep semantic information, and construct a details and semantic mutual optimization network (DSMONet). This effectively reduces the noise in the shallow features and guides the deep features to reconstruct the lost spatial information, avoiding cumbersome side auxiliary or complex decoders. The Mutual Optimization Module (MOM) includes Semantic Adjustment Details Module (SADM) and Detail Guided Semantic Module (DGSM), which enables mutual optimization of shallow spatial information and deep semantic information. Comparative evaluations against other methods demonstrate that DSMONet achieves a favorable balance between accuracy and speed. On the Cityscapes dataset, DSMONet achieves performances of 79.3% mean of class-wise intersection-over-union (mIoU)/44.6 frames per second (FPS) and 78.0% mIoU/102 FPS. The code is available at https://github.com/m828/DSMONet . Show more

Abstract: The focus of attention has shifted to land use and land cover changes as a result of the world’s fast urbanisation, and logical planning of urban land resources depends greatly on the forecast and analysis of these changes. In order to more precisely forecast and assess patterns of land use change, the study suggests a grey Markov land pattern analysis and prediction model that incorporates social aspects. The study builds a land pattern analysis and prediction model using a major city as the research object. The outcomes demonstrated the high accuracy and reliability of the grey Markov land pattern analysis …and prediction model incorporating social factors, which can more accurately reflect and predict the land use pattern of the study area, with an average relative error of less than 0.01, an accuracy of more than 98%, and an overall fit that has increased by more than 3%. The overall pattern of change is very consistent with the reality. The model predicts that the main trend of future land use in the study area is the continued expansion of urban land such as industrial land, land for transport facilities and land for settlements, while non-construction land such as agricultural land and forest land will continue to decrease. The optimized land pattern analysis and prediction model of the study has a good application environment. Show more

Abstract: Users possess the option to rent instances of various sorts, in a variety of regions, and a variety of availability zones, thanks to cloud service carriers like AWS, GCP, and Azure. In the cloud business right now, fixed price models are king when it comes to pricing. However, as the diversity of cloud providers and users grows, this approach is unable to accurately reflect the market’s current needs for cost savings. As a consequence, a dynamic pricing strategy has become a desirable tactic to better handle the erratic cloud demand. In this study, a deep learning model was used to …propose a dynamic pricing structure that ensures service providers are treated fairly in a multi-cloud context. The computational optimization of DL approaches can be severely hampered by the requirement for human hyperparameter selection. Traditional automated solutions to this issue have inadequate durability or fail in specific circumstances. To choose the hyper-parameters in the Dueling Deep Q-Network (DDQN), the hybrid DL approach in this study uses the concept-based wild horse optimization (WHO) method. A community of untamed horses is evolved, and the fitness of the population is evaluated concurrently to estimate the optimum hyper-parameters. The plan changes the price appropriately to promote the use of underutilized resources and discourage the use of overutilized resources. The evaluation’s findings demonstrated that the suggested strategy can lower end-user costs while conducting compute- and data-intensive activities in a multi-cloud environment. The research was concluded by comparing current models after the results were analyzed using various performance indicators. Show more

Abstract: Cataract, a common eye disease, causes lens opacification, which can lead to blindness. Early cataract detection in a privacy-preserving approach has led us to investigate the concept of Federated Learning (FL) and its prominent technique, known as Federated Averaging (FedAVG). Federated learning has the potential to solve the privacy issues by allowing data servers to train their models natively and distribute them without invading patient confidentiality. This research introduces an interactive federated learning framework that permits multiple medical institutions to screen cataract from split lamp images utilising convolutional neural network (CNN) without sharing patient data, as well as grade normal, …mild, moderate, and severe cataracts. The CNN is developed based on Modified-ResNet-50 and FedAVG technique could achieve relatively high accuracy. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed modification reduces the processing time to a greater extent. Show more

Abstract: In the new normal period, the trend changes and adjustments of the environment such as international trade, production capacity, labor supply and resource constraints have put forward new requirements for China’s industrial development, which have brought new challenges and given new opportunities. In the new normal stage where economic growth continues to decline, industrial growth is still an important support for economic growth. The advancement of industrial technology is the main driving force for improving the total factor productivity of the industrial industry. Therefore, the most important thing to promote industrial growth is to upgrade the level of industrial technology. …In response to the above-mentioned problems, this paper analyzed the relationship between industrial technology and industrial output in the new normal environment by using the BP neural network (BPNN) algorithm. The connection between the two has been found, which provided a clear direction for the functional adjustment of economic law. Experimental studies have shown that there is a positive relationship between industrial technological progress and industrial output. When other conditions are the same, and when the non-new normal is selected, industrial output increases by about 0.36% for every 1% increase in industrial technological progress. When choosing to be in the new normal, industrial technological progress has a higher impact on industrial output. For every 1% increase in technological progress, industrial output increases by about 0.39%. Show more

Abstract: Recently, there has been a lot of interest in using the wearable sensors for tracking the exercise progress because of the unbiased accuracy and precision they are provided throughout the continual monitoring. For those with physical impairments, the system’s non-intrusive, lightweight ways of the monitoring activity may ease their load and enhance the quality of their decision-making. As a different measuring unit measures the exercise activity levels recorded by the each wearable sensor, it is challenging to assess the monitoring system. Hence, this paper proposes a Hybridized Fuzzy Multi-Attribute for Exercise Monitoring System (HFMA-EMS) to address the uncertainty issues of …the wearable sensors. The Triangular Fuzzy membership function is proposed to begin classifying the observed values. Pair-wise attribute comparison and evaluator weighting in a T-spherical uncertain linguistic set setting utilizing the Techniques for Ordering of Preferences by Similarities to Ideal Solutions (TOPSIS). In the suggested method, a utility function is used to assess the merits of a model in which attribute the weights are calculated, followed by an exercise in which the attributes are ordered employing the Measurements of the Alternative and Ranking Compromise Solutions model (MARCOS). The performance is performed to analyze the proposed method’s accuracy, precision, recall, f1-score, and correct and incorrect exercise assessment by an accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetic field sensor unit. The application scenario of the HFMA-EMS can be used in the clinical applications, healthcare management, and sports injury detection. Show more

In order to improve the knowledge fusion effect of power grid model, this paper studied the knowledge fusion method of power grid model based on Seq2seq half pointer and half label method. The Text Rank algorithm is used to calculate the weight of semantic nodes of each grid model, and combined with the topological potential method, the semantic information of the grid model is extracted according to the final weight value, and the Seq2Seq semi-pointer semi-label …model framework is constructed. The data of the scheduling automation system OMS and the production management system PMS are used as input. The extracted candidate mesh model semantics and the original mesh model semantics are encoded by Seq2Seq half-pointer half-label model. The semantic data of the power grid model is fused and sent to the Seq2Seq encoder. After the training is completed, the effective information is extracted from the power grid model through the Seq2Seq model to complete the knowledge fusion of the power grid model. Experimental results show that this method eliminates the redundant part of the basic attributes of each data source in the substation grid model after knowledge fusion, and the description of each basic attribute is more standardized, unified and perfect. Under different mesh model data dimensions, the support of the proposed method is all above 98%. The model trained by the proposed method tends to be stable after 120 iterations, and the precision, recall and F1 of the test set are 0.98, 0.93 and 0.91, respectively. At the same time, this method has high efficiency in the knowledge fusion processing of the power grid model, and its data processing speed is less than 160 s. The average integrity of the private data of the power grid model is 98.86%, indicating that the proposed method can better ensure the integrity of the data. Finally, compared with the application of other methods under different data amounts, the mean square error obtained by the proposed method is the smallest, indicating that the proposed method effectively improves the fusion accuracy.

Abstract: Multivariate Time Series (MTS) forecasting has gained significant importance in diverse domains. Although Recurrent Neural Network (RNN)-based approaches have made notable advancements in MTS forecasting, they do not effectively tackle the challenges posed by noise and unordered data. Drawing inspiration from advancing the Transformer model, we introduce a transformer-based method called STFormer to address this predicament. The STFormer utilizes a two-stage Transformer to capture spatio-temporal relationships and tackle the issue of noise. Furthermore, the MTS incorporates adaptive spatio-temporal graph structures to tackle the issue of unordered data specifically. The Transformer incorporates graph embedding to combine spatial position information with long-term …temporal connections. Experimental results based on typical finance and environment datasets demonstrate that STFormer surpasses alternative baseline forecasting models and achieves state-of-the-art results for single-step horizon and multistep horizon forecasting.

Abstract: Mineral classification is a crucial task for geologists. Minerals are identified by their characteristics. In the field, geologists can identify minerals by examining lustre, color, streak, hardness, crystal habit, cleavage, fracture, and specific features. Geologists sometimes use a magnifying hand lens to identify minerals in the field. Surface color can assist in identifying minerals. However, it varies widely, even within a single mineral family. Some minerals predominantly show a single color. So, identifying minerals is possible considering surface color and texture. But, again, a limited database of minerals is available with large-scale images. So, the challenges arise to identify the …minerals using their images with limited images. With the advancement of machine learning, the deep learning approach with bi-layer feature fusion enhances the dimension of the feature vector with the possibility of high accuracy. Here, an experimental analysis is reported with three possibilities of bi-layer feature fusion of three CNN models like Alexnet, VGG16 & VGG19, and a framework is suggested. Alexnet delivers the highest performance with the bi-layer fusion of fc6 and fc7. The achieved accuracy is 84.23%, sensitivity 84.23%, specificity 97.37%, precision 84.7%, FPR 2.63%, F1 Score 84.17%, MCC 81.75%, and Kappa 53.59%. Show more

Abstract: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have gained popularity across various research fields in recent years. GNNs utilize graphs to construct an embedding that includes details about the nodes and edges in a graph’s neighborhood. In this work, a set of Region Adjacency Graphs (RAG) derives the attribute values from Static Signature (SS) images. These attribute values are used to label the nodes of the complete graph, which is formed by considering each signature as a node taken from the sample of signatures of a specific signer. The complete graph is trained by using GraphSAGE, an inductive representation learning method. This trained …model helps to determine any newly introduced node (static signature to be tested) as genuine or fake. Standard static signature datasets, notably GPDSsynthetic and MCYT-75 are used to test the prevailing model. Experimental results on genuine and counterfeit signature networks demonstrate that our computed model enables a high rate of accuracy (GPDSsynthetic 99.91% and MCYT-75 99.56%) and minimum range of loss (GPDSsynthetic 0.0061 and MCYT-75 0.0070) on node classification.

Abstract: The Fuzzy C-means (FCM) algorithm is one of the most widely used algorithms in unsupervised pattern recognition. As the intensity of observation noise increases, FCM tends to produce large center deviations and even overlap clustering problems. The relative entropy fuzzy C-means algorithm (REFCM) adds relative entropy as a regularization function to the fuzzy C-means algorithm, which has a good ability for noise detection and membership assignment to observed values. However, REFCM still tends to generate overlapping clusters as the size of the cluster increases and becomes imbalanced. Moreover, the convergence speed of this algorithm is slow. To solve this problem, …modified suppressed relative entropy fuzzy c-means clustering (MSREFCM) is proposed. Specifically, the MSREFCM algorithm improves the convergence speed of the algorithm while maintaining the accuracy and anti-noise capability of the REFCM algorithm by adding a suppression strategy based on the intra-class average distance measurement. In addition, to further improve the clustering performance of MSREFCM for multidimensional imbalanced data, the center overlapping problem and the center offset problem of elliptical data are solved by replacing the Euclidean distance in REFCM with the Mahalanobis distance. Experiments on several synthetic and UCI datasets indicate that MSREFCM can improve the convergence speed and classification performance of the REFCM for spherical and ellipsoidal datasets with imbalanced sizes. In particular, for the Statlog dataset, the running time of MSREFCM is nearly one second less than that of REFCM, and the accuracy of MSREFCM is 0.034 higher than that of REFCM. Show more

Abstract: Ground mobile robots can replace human beings to perform special tasks in threatened areas. Path planning technology provides mobile robots with the ability to reach the target position autonomously. When there are threats in the environment, the ground mobile robot needs to be able to reach the target position quickly and safely. Because threats are often difficult to calculate in such environments, and planned paths are difficult to use for path tracing. Therefore, path planning should comprehensively consider the distance, continuity and possible threats when moving. Aiming at the problem that the threat in the environment cannot be accurately calibrated …usually, this paper proposes a method to mark the threat degree on the global elevation map by using the fuzzy logic system. In order to verify the feasibility of the algorithm, the improved algorithm with the classical algorithm in different environments and the current similar algorithm are compared with the current simulation experiment. The simulation results show that the algorithm has achieved good results, which proves the superiority of the algorithm. The path planning results of the algorithm in the threatened 3D environment not only have less threat, but also have better adaptability to the natural environment, and the planning path quality is better than that of the same type of algorithm.

Abstract: Recognizing and classifying citrus fruits is a challenging yet crucial task for agriculture, food processing, and quality control. Classifying citrus fruits is challenging because of their wide variety, often with a similar flesh appearance, shape, and size. Therefore, efficient and effective approaches are required for accurate identification. Our study focused on efficiently identifying citrus fruit types by utilizing a hybrid ResNet101-SVM model. ResNet101-SVM is the combination of the feature extraction capabilities of the ResNet101 with the classification power of SVM. This hybrid approach leverages the strengths of both deep learning (feature extraction) and traditional machine learning (SVM classification) to improve …the accuracy and robustness of citrus fruit classification. The model outperformed the standard ResNet101 model across various performance metrics, achieving impressive accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, F1 Score, MCC, and Kappa values of 99.81%, 99.81%, 99.8%, 99.82%, 0.18%, 99.81%, 99.80%, and 98.77%, respectively. This study holds significant promise for various applications, particularly in the domains of food processing and quality control. Show more

Abstract: Communication is an essential component of human nature. It connects humans, allowing them to learn, grow, col-laborate, and resolve conflicts. Several aspects of human society, relationships, and growth would be significantly hampered in the absence of efficient communication. Hand gesture recognition is a way to interact with technology that can be particularly useful for individuals with disabilities. This hand gesture recognition is mainly employed in sign language translation, healthcare, rehabilitation, prosthesis, and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). The high degree of dexterity is a main challenge for prosthetic limbs. In order to meet this challenge, hand gesture recognition is employed for the …prosthetic limb, which can be used for rehabilitation. The objective of this article is to show the methodology for the recognition of hand gestures using Electromyography (EMG) signals. This article uses the pro-posed time domain feature extraction method called Absolute Fluctuation Analysis (AFA) along with the Root Mean Square (RMS) for the feature extraction method. Along with these feature extraction methods, repeated stratified K-fold cross validation is used for the validation of the classifiers such as the XGB classifier, the K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN) classifier, the Decision Tree classifier, the Random Forest classifier, and the SVM classifier, whose mean recognition accuracy is given by 93.26%, 87.42%, 85.26%, 92.23%, and 91.78%, respectively. The recognition accuracy of machine learning classifiers is being compared with state-of-the-art networks such as artificial neural net-works (ANN), long short-term memory (LSTM), bidirectional LSTM, gated recurrent units (GRU), and convolution-al neural networks (CNN), which provide recognition accuracy of 96.65%, 99.16%, 99.94%, and 99.99%, respectively.

Abstract: Intelligent vehicles require accurate identification of traversable road areas and the ability to provide precise and real-time localization data in unstructured road environments. To address these issues, we propose a system for traversable map construction and robust localization in unstructured road environments based on a priori knowledge. The proposed method performs traversable area segmentation on the LiDAR point cloud and employs a submap strategy to jointly optimize multiple frames of data to obtain a reliable and accurate point cloud map of the traversable area, which is then rasterized and combined with the vehicle kinematic model for global path planning. Then, …it integrates priori map information and real-time sensor information to provide confidence and priori constraints to ensure the robustness of localization, and it fuses multi-sensor heterogeneous data to improve real-time localization. Experiments are conducted in a mining environment to evaluate the performance of the proposed method on an unstructured road. The experimental results demonstrate that the traversable map and localization results based on the proposed method can meet the requirements for autonomous vehicle driving on unstructured roads and provide reliable priori foundation and localization information for autonomous vehicle navigation.

Abstract: Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is an interconnection of tiny biosensors that are organized in/on several parts of the body. The developed WBAN is used to sense and transmit health-related data over the wireless medium. Energy efficiency is the primary challenges for increasing the life expectancy of the network. To address the issue of energy efficiency, one of the essential approaches i.e., the selection of an appropriate relay node is modelled as an optimization problem. In this paper, energy efficient routing optimization using Multiobjective-Energy Centric Honey Badger Optimization (M-ECHBA) is proposed to improve life expectancy. The proposed M-ECHBA is optimized …by using the energy, distance, delay and node degree. Moreover, the Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) is used to perform the node scheduling at transmission. Therefore, the M-ECHBA method is used to discover the optimal routing path for enhancing energy efficiency while minimizing the transmission delay of WBAN. The performances of the M-ECHBA are analyzed using life expectancy, dead nodes, residual energy, delay, packets received by the Base Station (BS), Packet Loss Ratio (PLR) and routing overhead. The M-ECHBA is evaluated with some classical approaches namely SIMPLE, ATTEMPT and RE-ATTEMPT. Further, this M-ECHBA is compared with the existing routing approach Novel Energy Efficient hybrid Meta-heuristic Approach (NEEMA), hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization-Simulated Annealing (hPSO-SA), Energy Balanced Routing (EBR), Threshold-based Energy-Efficient Routing Protocol for physiological Critical Data Transmission (T-EERPDCT), Clustering and Cooperative Routing Protocol (CCRP), Intelligent-Routing Algorithm for WBANs namely I-RAW, distributed energy-efficient two-hop-based clustering and routing namely DECR and Modified Power Line System (M-POLC). The dead nodes of M-ECHBA for scenario 3 at 8000 rounds are 4 which is less when compared to the dead nodes of EBR. Show more
