In the method, all base classifiers may be allowed to operate in different measurement/feature spaces to make the most of diverse classification information. The weights assigned to each output of a base classifier are estimated by the separability of training sample sets in relevant feature space. For this purpose, some decision tables （DTs） are established in terms of the diverse feature sets. And then the uncertainty measures of the separability are induced, in the form of mass functions in Dempster-Shafer theory （DST）, from each DTs based on generalized rough set model. From the mass functions, all the weights are calculated by a modified heuristic fusion function and assigned dynamically to each classifier varying with its output. The comparison experiment is performed on the hyperspectral remote sensing images. And the experimental results show that the performance of the classification can be improved by using the proposed method compared with the plurality voting （PV）.展开更多

文摘Surface electromyography(sEMG)-based gesture recognition is a key technology in the field of human–computer interaction.However,existing gesture recognition methods face challenges in effectively integrating discriminative temporal feature representations from sEMG signals.In this paper,we propose a deep learning framework named TFN-FICFM comprises a Temporal Fusion Network(TFN)and Fuzzy Integral-Based Classifier Fusion method(FICFM)to improve the accuracy and robustness of gesture recognition.Firstly,we design a TFN module,which utilizes an attention-based recurrent multi-scale convolutional module to acquire multi-level temporal feature representations and achieves deep fusion of temporal features through a feature pyramid module.Secondly,the deep-fused temporal features are utilized to generate multiple sets of gesture category prediction confidences through a feedback loop.Finally,we employ FICFM to perform fuzzy fusion on prediction confidences,resulting in the ultimate decision.This study conducts extensive comparisons and ablation studies using the publicly available datasets Ninapro DB2 and DB5.Results demonstrate that the TFN-FICFM model outperforms state-of-the-art methods in classification performance.This research can serve as a benchmark for sEMG-based gesture recognition and related deep learning modeling.

文摘The rapid growth of mobile applications,the popularity of the Android system and its openness have attracted many hackers and even criminals,who are creating lots of Android malware.However,the current methods of Android malware detection need a lot of time in the feature engineering phase.Furthermore,these models have the defects of low detection rate,high complexity,and poor practicability,etc.We analyze the Android malware samples,and the distribution of malware and benign software in application programming interface(API)calls,permissions,and other attributes.We classify the software’s threat levels based on the correlation of features.Then,we propose deep neural networks and convolutional neural networks with ensemble learning(DCEL),a new classifier fusion model for Android malware detection.First,DCEL preprocesses the malware data to remove redundant data,and converts the one-dimensional data into a two-dimensional gray image.Then,the ensemble learning approach is used to combine the deep neural network with the convolutional neural network,and the final classification results are obtained by voting on the prediction of each single classifier.Experiments based on the Drebin and Malgenome datasets show that compared with current state-of-art models,the proposed DCEL has a higher detection rate,higher recall rate,and lower computational cost.

文摘To enhance the mechanical properties of Mo alloys prepared through laser powder bed fusion(LPBF),a hot isostatic pressing(HIP)treatment was used.Results show that following HIP treatment,the porosity decreases from 0.27%to 0.22%,enabling the elements Mo and Ti to diffuse fully and to distribute more uniformly,and to forming a substantial number of low-angle grain boundaries.The tensile strength soars from 286±32 MPa to 598±22 MPa,while the elongation increases from 0.08%±0.02%to 0.18%±0.02%,without notable alterations in grain morphology during the tensile deformation.HIP treatment eliminates the molten pool boundaries,which are the primary source for premature failure in LPBFed Mo alloys.Consequently,HIP treatment emerges as a novel and effective approach for strengthening the mechanical properties of LPBFed Mo alloys,offering a fresh perspective on producing high-performance Mo-based alloys.
文摘An accurate and early diagnosis of brain tumors based on medical ima-ging modalities is of great interest because brain tumors are a harmful threat to a person’s health worldwide.Several medical imaging techniques have been used to analyze brain tumors,including computed tomography(CT)and magnetic reso-nance imaging(MRI).CT provides information about dense tissues,whereas MRI gives information about soft tissues.However,the fusion of CT and MRI images has little effect on enhancing the accuracy of the diagnosis of brain tumors.Therefore,machine learning methods have been adopted to diagnose brain tumors in recent years.This paper intends to develop a novel scheme to detect and classify brain tumors based on fused CT and MRI images.The pro-posed approach starts with preprocessing the images to reduce the noise.Then,fusion rules are applied to get the fused image,and a segmentation algorithm is employed to isolate the tumor region from the background to isolate the tumor region.Finally,a machine learning classifier classified the brain images into benign and malignant tumors.Computing statistical measures evaluate the classi-fication potential of the proposed scheme.Experimental outcomes are provided,and the Enhanced Flower Pollination Algorithm(EFPA)system shows that it out-performs other brain tumor classification methods considered for comparison.
