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: 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. Thus, the main advantages of the proposed 2TLNN-ExpTODIM-EDAS technique are outlined: (1) the proposed 2TLNN-ExpTODIM-EDAS technique not only handles the distances information from the 2TLNNAS, but also portrays the DMs’ psychological behavior during the sustainable development capability evaluation of TPCBEC platform. (2) the proposed 2TLNN-ExpTODIM-EDAS technique analyze the behavior of the TODIM technique and EDAS technique as MADM techniques when they are hybridized. Show more

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.
