While having accurate detection and segmentation of brain tumours would be beneficial, current methods still need to solve this problem despite the numerous available approaches. Precise analysis of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is crucial for detecting, segmenting, and classifying brain tumours in medical diagnostics. Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a vital component in medical diagnosis, and it requires precise, efficient, careful, efficient, and reliable image analysis techniques. The authors developed a Deep Learning (DL) fusion model to classify brain tumours reliably. Deep Learning models require large amounts of training data to achieve good results, so the researchers utilised data augmentation techniques to increase the dataset size for training models. VGG16, ResNet50, and convolutional deep belief networks networks extracted deep features from MRI images. Softmax was used as the classifier, and the training set was supplemented with intentionally created MRI images of brain tumours in addition to the genuine ones. The features of two DL models were combined in the proposed model to generate a fusion model, which significantly increased classification accuracy. An openly accessible dataset from the internet was used to test the model's performance, and the experimental results showed that the proposed fusion model achieved a classification accuracy of 98.98%. Finally, the results were compared with existing methods, and the proposed model outperformed them significantly.展开更多

A fusion model is employed to describe the tracked head by sampling the models of the fore-head and the back-head under different situations. Thus the fusion head reference model is represented by the color distribution estimated from both the fore- head and the back-head.

Finally, the learned hierarchical hybrid testability model （HHTM） is used to estimate the testability of equipment. Compared with the results of other modeling methods, the relative deviation of the HHTM is only 0.52%, and the evaluation result is the most accu rate.展开更多

However, earlier research on DSm theory mainly focused on one sort of questions.

This paper analyzes the evidence fusion procedure, as well as correlative node input and output information. Key steps and detailed procedures of evidence fusion are also discussed. Finally, an experiment illustrates the efficiency of the proposed evidence fusion procedure.展开更多

The multi-source information fusion process of innovation alliances was classified into three layers, namely, the information perception layer, the feature clustering layer,and the decision fusion layer. The agencies in the alliance were defined as sensors through which information is perceived and obtained, and the features were clustered. Finally, various types of information were fused by the innovation alliance based on the fusion algorithm to achieve complete and comprehensive information. The model was applied to a study on economic information prediction, where the accuracy of the fusion results was higher than that from a single source and the errors obtained were also smaller with the MPE less than 3%, which demonstrates the proposed fusion method is more effective and reasonable. This study provides a reasonable basis for decision-making of innovation alliances.展开更多

The algorithm is mainly based on Kalman filter and interacting multiple model(IMM). It processes crosscorrelated sensor noises by using augmented fusion before model interacting. And eigenvalue decomposition is utilized to reduce calculation complexity and implement parallel computing. In simulation part, the feasibility of the algorithm was tested and verified, and the relationship between sensor number and the estimation precision was studied. Results show that simply increasing the number of sensor cannot always improve the performance of the estimation. Type and number of sensors should be optimized in practical applications.展开更多

文摘As a virtual representation of a specific physical asset,the digital twin has great potential for realizing the life cycle maintenance management of a dynamic system.Nevertheless,the dynamic stress concentration is generated since the state of the dynamic system changes over time.This generation of dynamic stress concentration has hindered the exploitation of the digital twin to reflect the dynamic behaviors of systems in practical engineering applications.In this context,this paper is interested in achieving real-time performance prediction of dynamic systems by developing a new digital twin framework that includes simulation data,measuring data,multi-level fusion modeling(M-LFM),visualization techniques,and fatigue analysis.To leverage its capacity,the M-LFM method combines the advantages of different surrogate models and integrates simulation and measured data,which can improve the prediction accuracy of dynamic stress concentration.A telescopic boom crane is used as an example to verify the proposed framework for stress prediction and fatigue analysis of the complex dynamic system.The results show that the M-LFM method has better performance in the computational efficiency and calculation accuracy of the stress prediction compared with the polynomial response surface method and the kriging method.In other words,the proposed framework can leverage the advantages of digital twins in a dynamic system:damage monitoring,safety assessment,and other aspects and then promote the development of digital twins in industrial fields.

文摘The energy consumption of buildings accounts for approximately 40%of total energy consumption.An accurate energy consumption analysis of buildings can not only promise significant energy savings but also help estimate the demand response potential more accurately,and consequently brings benefits to the upstream power grid.This paper proposes a novel physical-data fusion modeling(PFM)method for modeling smart buildings that can accurately assess energy consumption.First,a thermal process model of buildings and an electrical load model that focus on building heating,ventilation,and air conditioning(HVAC)systems are presented to analyze the thermal-electrical conversion process of energy consumption of buildings.Second,the PFM method is used to improve the accuracy of the energy consumption analysis model for buildings by modifying the parameters that are difficult to measure in the physical model(i.e.,it effectively modifies the electrical load model based on the proposed PFM method).Finally,case studies involving a real-world dataset recorded in a high-tech park in Changzhou,China,demonstrate that the proposed method exhibits superior performance with respect to the traditional physical modeling(TPM)method and data-driven modeling(DDM)method in terms of the achieved accuracy.

文摘Objectives:This study presents a method combining a one-class classifier and laser-induced breakdown spectrometry(LIBS)to quickly identify healthy Tegillarca granosa(T.granosa).Materials and Methods:The sum of ranking differences(SRD)was used to fuse multiple anomaly detection metrics to build the one-class classifier,which was only trained with healthy T.granosa.The one-class classifier can identify healthy T.granosa to exclude non-healthy T.granosa.The proposed method calculated multiple anomaly detection metrics and standardized them to obtain a fusion matrix.Based on the fusion matrix,the samples were ranked by SRD and those ranked lowest and below the threshold were considered to be unhealthy.Results:Multiple anomaly detection metrics were fused by the SRD algorithm and tested on each band,and the final fusion model achieved an accuracy rate of 98.46%,a sensitivity of 100%,and a specificity of 80%.The remaining three single classification models obtained the following results:the SVDD model achieved an accuracy rate of 87.69%,a sensitivity of 90%,and a specificity of 60%;the OCSVM model achieved an accuracy rate of 80%,a sensitivity of 76.67%,and a specificity of 60%;and the DD-SIMCA model achieved an accuracy rate of 95.38%,a sensitivity of 98.33%,and a specificity of 60%.Conclusions:The experimental results showed that the proposed method achieved better results than the traditional one-class classification methods with a single metric.Therefore,the fusion method effectively improves the performance of traditional one-class classifiers when using LIBS to quickly identify healthy substances(healthy T.granosa).

文摘Blended teaching is one of the essential teaching methods with the development of information technology.Constructing a learning effect evaluation model is helpful to improve students’academic performance and helps teachers to better implement course teaching.However,a lack of evaluation models for the fusion of temporal and non-temporal behavioral data leads to an unsatisfactory evaluation effect.To meet the demand for predicting students’academic performance through learning behavior data,this study proposes a learning effect evaluation method that integrates expert perspective indicators to predict academic performance by constructing a dual-stream network that combines temporal behavior data and non-temporal behavior data in the learning process.In this paper,firstly,the Delphi method is used to analyze and process the course learning behavior data of students and establish an effective evaluation index system of learning behavior with universality;secondly,the Mann-Whitney U-test and the complex correlation analysis are used to analyze further and validate the evaluation indexes;and lastly,a dual-stream information fusion model,which combines temporal and non-temporal features,is established.The learning effect evaluation model is built,and the results of the mean absolute error(MAE)and root mean square error(RMSE)indexes are 4.16 and 5.29,respectively.This study indicates that combining expert perspectives for evaluation index selection and further fusing temporal and non-temporal behavioral features that for learning effect evaluation and prediction is rationality,accuracy,and effectiveness,which provides a powerful help for the practical application of learning effect evaluation and prediction.

文摘Lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)have emerged as the preferred energy storage systems for various types of electric transports,including electric vehicles,electric boats,electric trains,and electric airplanes.The energy management of LIBs in electric transports for all-climate and long-life operation requires the accurate estimation of state of charge(SOC)and capacity in real-time.This study proposes a multistage model fusion algorithm to co-estimate SOC and capacity.Firstly,based on the assumption of a normal distribution,the mean and variance of the residual error from the model at different ageing levels are used to calculate the weight for the establishment of a fusion model with stable parameters.Secondly,a differential error gain with forward-looking ability is introduced into a proportional–integral observer(PIO)to accelerate convergence speed.Thirdly,a fusion algorithm is developed by combining a multistage model and proportional–integral–differential observer(PIDO)to co-estimate SOC and capacity under a complex application environment.Fourthly,the convergence and anti-noise performance of the fusion algorithm are discussed.Finally,the hardware-in-the-loop platform is set up to verify the performance of the fusion algorithm.The validation results of different aged LIBs over a wide range of temperature show that the presented fusion algorithm can realize a high-accuracy estimation of SOC and capacity with the relative errors within 2%and 3.3%,respectively.

文摘In order to meet the demand of testability analysis and evaluation for complex equipment under a small sample test in the equipment life cycle, the hierarchical hybrid testability model- ing and evaluation method （HHTME）, which combines the testabi- lity structure model （TSM） with the testability Bayesian networks model （TBNM）, is presented. Firstly, the testability network topo- logy of complex equipment is built by using the hierarchical hybrid testability modeling method. Secondly, the prior conditional prob- ability distribution between network nodes is determined through expert experience. Then the Bayesian method is used to update the conditional probability distribution, according to history test information, virtual simulation information and similar product in- formation. Finally, the learned hierarchical hybrid testability model （HHTM） is used to estimate the testability of equipment. Compared with the results of other modeling methods, the relative deviation of the HHTM is only 0.52%, and the evaluation result is the most accu rate.

文摘Nowadays,as the number of textual data is exponentially increasing,sentiment analysis has become one of the most significant tasks in natural language processing(NLP)with increasing attention.Traditional Chinese sentiment analysis algorithms cannot make full use of the order information in context and are inefficient in sentiment inference.In this paper,we systematically reviewed the classic and representative works in sentiment analysis and proposed a simple but efficient optimization.First of all,FastText was trained to get the basic classification model,which can generate pre-trained word vectors as a by-product.Secondly,Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory Network(Bi-LSTM)utilizes the generated word vectors for training and then merges with FastText to make comprehensive sentiment analysis.By combining FastText and Bi-LSTM,we have developed a new fast sentiment analysis,called FAST-BiLSTM,which consistently achieves a balance between performance and speed.In particular,experimental results based on the real datasets demonstrate that our algorithm can effectively judge sentiments of users’comments,and is superior to the traditional algorithm in time efficiency,accuracy,recall and F1 criteria.

文摘Effect of various spatial and energy distributions of fusion neutron sourceon the calculation of neutron wall loading of Tokamak D-D fusion device has been investigated bymeans of the 3-D Monte Carlo code MCNP. A realistic Monte Carlo source model was developed based onthe accurate representation of the spatial distribution and energy spectrum of fusion neutrons tosolve the complicated problem of tokamak fusion neutron source modelling. The results show thatthose simplified source models will introduce significant uncertainties. For accurate estimation ofthe key nuclear responses of the tokamak design and analyses, the use of the realistic source isrecommended. In addition, the accumulation of tritium produced during D-D plasma operation should becarefully considered.

文摘Dezert-Smarandache（DSm） theory, a new information fusion theory, is widely applied in image processing, multiple targets tracking identification, and other areas for its excellent processing ability of imperfect information. However, earlier research on DSm theory mainly focused on one sort of questions. An evidence fusion procedure is proposed based on the hybrid DSm model to compensate for a lack of research on the entire information procedure of DSm theory. This paper analyzes the evidence fusion procedure, as well as correlative node input and output information. Key steps and detailed procedures of evidence fusion are also discussed. Finally, an experiment illustrates the efficiency of the proposed evidence fusion procedure.

文摘To solve the problem of information fusion from multiple sources in innovation alliances, an information fusion model based on the Bayesian network is presented. The multi-source information fusion process of innovation alliances was classified into three layers, namely, the information perception layer, the feature clustering layer,and the decision fusion layer. The agencies in the alliance were defined as sensors through which information is perceived and obtained, and the features were clustered. Finally, various types of information were fused by the innovation alliance based on the fusion algorithm to achieve complete and comprehensive information. The model was applied to a study on economic information prediction, where the accuracy of the fusion results was higher than that from a single source and the errors obtained were also smaller with the MPE less than 3%, which demonstrates the proposed fusion method is more effective and reasonable. This study provides a reasonable basis for decision-making of innovation alliances.

文摘This paper presents a data fusion algorithm for dynamic system with multi-sensor and uncertain system models. The algorithm is mainly based on Kalman filter and interacting multiple model(IMM). It processes crosscorrelated sensor noises by using augmented fusion before model interacting. And eigenvalue decomposition is utilized to reduce calculation complexity and implement parallel computing. In simulation part, the feasibility of the algorithm was tested and verified, and the relationship between sensor number and the estimation precision was studied. Results show that simply increasing the number of sensor cannot always improve the performance of the estimation. Type and number of sensors should be optimized in practical applications.
