文摘The rapid integration of Internet of Things(IoT)technologies is reshaping the global energy landscape by deploying smart meters that enable high-resolution consumption monitoring,two-way communication,and advanced metering infrastructure services.However,this digital transformation also exposes power system to evolving threats,ranging from cyber intrusions and electricity theft to device malfunctions,and the unpredictable nature of these anomalies,coupled with the scarcity of labeled fault data,makes realtime detection exceptionally challenging.To address these difficulties,a real-time decision support framework is presented for smart meter anomality detection that leverages rolling time windows and two self-supervised contrastive learning modules.The first module synthesizes diverse negative samples to overcome the lack of labeled anomalies,while the second captures intrinsic temporal patterns for enhanced contextual discrimination.The end-to-end framework continuously updates its model with rolling updated meter data to deliver timely identification of emerging abnormal behaviors in evolving grids.Extensive evaluations on eight publicly available smart meter datasets over seven diverse abnormal patterns testing demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed full framework,achieving average recall and F1 score of more than 0.85.

文摘This study explores the integration of Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR)imagery with deep learning and metaheuristic feature optimization techniques for enhanced oil spill detection.This study proposes a novel hybrid approach for oil spill detection.The introduced approach integrates deep transfer learning with the metaheuristic Binary Harris Hawk optimization(BHHO)and Principal Component Analysis(PCA)for improved feature extraction and selection from input SAR imagery.Feature transfer learning of the MobileNet convolutional neural network was employed to extract deep features from the SAR images.The BHHO and PCA algorithms were implemented to identify subsets of optimal features from the entire feature dataset extracted by MobileNet.A supplemented hybrid feature set was constructed from the PCA and BHHO-generated features.It was used as input for oil spill detection using the logistic regression supervised machine learning classification algorithm.Several feature set combinations were implemented to test the classification performance of the logistic regression classifier in comparison to that of the proposed hybrid feature set.Results indicate that the highest oil spill detection accuracy of 99.2%has been achieved using the logistic regression classification algorithm,with integrated feature input from subsets identified using the PCA and the BHHO feature selection techniques.The proposed method yielded a statistically significant improvement in the classification performance of the used machine learning model.The significance of our study lies in its unique integration of deep learning with optimized feature selection,unlike other published studies,to enhance oil spill detection accuracy.

文摘A healthy brain is vital to every person since the brain controls every movement and emotion.Sometimes,some brain cells grow unexpectedly to be uncontrollable and cancerous.These cancerous cells are called brain tumors.For diagnosed patients,their lives depend mainly on the early diagnosis of these tumors to provide suitable treatment plans.Nowadays,Physicians and radiologists rely on Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI)pictures for their clinical evaluations of brain tumors.These evaluations are time-consuming,expensive,and require expertise with high skills to provide an accurate diagnosis.Scholars and industrials have recently partnered to implement automatic solutions to diagnose the disease with high accuracy.Due to their accuracy,some of these solutions depend on deep-learning(DL)methodologies.These techniques have become important due to their roles in the diagnosis process,which includes identification and classification.Therefore,there is a need for a solid and robust approach based on a deep-learning method to diagnose brain tumors.The purpose of this study is to develop an intelligent automatic framework for brain tumor diagnosis.The proposed solution is based on a novel dense dynamic residual self-attention transfer adaptive learning fusion approach(NDDRSATALFA),carried over two implemented deep-learning networks:VGG19 and UNET to identify and classify brain tumors.In addition,this solution applies a transfer learning approach to exchange extracted features and data within the two neural networks.The presented framework is trained,validated,and tested on six public datasets of MRIs to detect brain tumors and categorize these tumors into three suitable classes,which are glioma,meningioma,and pituitary.The proposed framework yielded remarkable findings on variously evaluated performance indicators:99.32%accuracy,98.74%sensitivity,98.89%specificity,99.01%Dice,98.93%Area Under the Curve(AUC),and 99.81%F1-score.In addition,a comparative analysis with recent state-of-the-art methods was performed and according to the comparative analysis,NDDRSATALFA shows an admirable level of reliability in simplifying the timely identification of diverse brain tumors.Moreover,this framework can be applied by healthcare providers to assist radiologists,pathologists,and physicians in their evaluations.The attained outcomes open doors for advanced automatic solutions that improve clinical evaluations and provide reasonable treatment plans.

文摘Music recommendation systems are essential due to the vast amount of music available on streaming platforms,which can overwhelm users trying to find new tracks that match their preferences.These systems analyze users’emotional responses,listening habits,and personal preferences to provide personalized suggestions.A significant challenge they face is the“cold start”problem,where new users have no past interactions to guide recommendations.To improve user experience,these systems aimto effectively recommendmusic even to such users by considering their listening behavior and music popularity.This paper introduces a novel music recommendation system that combines order clustering and a convolutional neural network,utilizing user comments and rankings as input.Initially,the system organizes users into clusters based on semantic similarity,followed by the utilization of their rating similarities as input for the convolutional neural network.This network then predicts ratings for unreviewed music by users.Additionally,the system analyses user music listening behaviour and music popularity.Music popularity can help to address cold start users as well.Finally,the proposed method recommends unreviewed music based on predicted high rankings and popularity,taking into account each user’s music listening habits.The proposed method combines predicted high rankings and popularity by first selecting popular unreviewedmusic that themodel predicts to have the highest ratings for each user.Among these,the most popular tracks are prioritized,defined by metrics such as frequency of listening across users.The number of recommended tracks is aligned with each user’s typical listening rate.The experimental findings demonstrate that the new method outperformed other classification techniques and prior recommendation systems,yielding a mean absolute error(MAE)rate and rootmean square error(RMSE)rate of approximately 0.0017,a hit rate of 82.45%,an average normalized discounted cumulative gain(nDCG)of 82.3%,and a prediction accuracy of new ratings at 99.388%.

文摘Herein,we developed three-dimensional pristine titanium dioxide(TiO_(2))photo-electrocatalyst material(PEM)with homogeneous distribution of oxygen vacancies(OV)for lithium-oxygen(Li-O_(2))battery system(denoted as LOBs)under illumination.This rationally designed OV-TiO_(2)photoelectrode-catalyst has exhibited excellent capacity,small overpotential,long-term cycle stability,and higher rate capability performance according to our electrochemical experiment study.In short,OV as photoinduced charge separation centers(inert surface atomic modification method)fascinate the effective separation of electrons(e^(−))and holes(h^(+)).In turn,induced e−and h+are beneficial to the oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)and oxygen evolution reaction(OER)process.More importantly,machine learning(ML)algorithms to analyze and optimize battery performance are innovative in the photoelectrical field.The utility of ML analysis is extensively shown to be effective in learning the in/output connection of interest.Based on ML analysis results,the OV-TiO_(2)cathode is indeed the key point to extend the LOB life span.More importantly,our brilliant anatase OV-TiO_(2)revealed the optimization of electrode material for high performance and reversibility in LOBs.We expect that it will bring special OV-TiO_(2)and some other hierarchical hollow nanomaterials,a big step toward battery technology no matter in cost-effectiveness and environmentally friendly aspects.
文摘Background:Gene expression profiling plays a key role in cancer research,but its high dimensionality and redundancy pose challenges for effective analysis.Feature selection and robust classification are critical for improving predictive performance,while explainable machine learning techniques support transparency and biomarker discovery.Methods:To propose a hybrid explainable machine learning framework that combines stability-guided multi-source(SGMS)feature selection with classification models for gene expression-based cancer prediction and biomarker identification.SGMS integrates Mutual Information,F-statistic,and random forest(RF)importance to select informative genes.These features are used to train classifiers,including novel elasticnet logistic regression(NEN-LR),RF,and Support Vector Machine(SVM).Performance is evaluated using accuracy,precision,recall,F1-score,and Matthews correlation coefficient(MCC).SHapley Additive exPlanations(SHAP)values are used to interpret gene-level contributions,and co-expression networks help identify functional gene modules.Results:The proposed NEN-LR classifier achieved the highest performance with 99.8%accuracy,99.9%precision,and 0.997 MCC using the top 200 SGMS-selected genes.Biomarker discovery identified both class-specific and shared genes across five cancer types,with top genes like gene_230,gene_5380,and gene_18570 consistently appearing across multiple classes.Visualization tools,including heatmaps,Venn diagrams,and co-expression networks,were used to interpret expression dynamics and regulatory patterns,enhancing the biological relevance of findings.SHAP analysis revealed top biomarkers with strong predictive influence,while co-expression clustering uncovered biologically meaningful gene modules.Other models also showed marked improvement using SGMS-selected features.Conclusion:The proposed framework successfully integrates feature selection,interpretable classification,and biomarker discovery,providing a powerful tool for precision oncology and molecular diagnostics.

文摘Aimed at the issues of high feature dimensionality,excessive data redundancy,and low recognition accuracy of using single classifiers on ground-glass lung nodule recognition,a recognition method was proposed based on CatBoost feature selection and Stacking ensemble learning.First,the method uses a feature selection algorithm to filter important features and remove features with less impact,achieving the effect of data dimensionality reduction.Second,random forests classifier,decision trees,K-nearest neighbor classifier,and light gradient boosting machine were used as base classifiers,and support vector machine was used as meta classifier to fuse and construct the ensemble learning model.This measure increases the accuracy of the classification model while maintaining the diversity of the base classifiers.The experimental results show that the recognition accuracy of the proposed method reaches 94.375%.Compared to the random forest algorithm with the best performance among single classifiers,the accuracy of the proposed method is increased by 1.875%.Compared to the recent deep learning methods(ResNet+GBM+Attention and MVCSNet)on ground-glass pulmonary nodule recognition,the proposed method’s performance is also better or comparative.Experiments show that the proposed model can effectively select features and make recognition on ground-glass pulmonary nodules.
文摘This study investigated the role of intentional self-regulation and the moderating role of peer relationship in the relationship between teacher-student relationship and learning engagement.The study sample comprised 540 Chinese senior secondary school students between the ages of 15–18(51.67%boys;Mage=16.56 years;SDage=0.90).They completed surveys on the Teacher-Student Relationship Scale,the Selection,Optimization,and Compensation(SOC)Scale,the Peer Relationship Scale for Children and Adolescents,and the Learning Engagement Scale.The results following regression analysis showed that teacher-student relationship predicted higher learning engagement among senior secondary school students.Intentional self-regulation partially mediated the link between teacher-student relationship and learning engagement for higher learning engagement.Peer relationship moderated the relationships between teacher-student relationship and learning engagement and moderated the relationship between teacher-student relationship and intentional self-regulation for higher learning engagement.Thesefindings imply learning engagement can be enhanced by optimizing teacher-student relationship and strengthening intentional self-regulation interventions.
文摘Heart disease prediction is a critical issue in healthcare,where accurate early diagnosis can save lives and reduce healthcare costs.The problem is inherently complex due to the high dimensionality of medical data,irrelevant or redundant features,and the variability in risk factors such as age,lifestyle,andmedical history.These challenges often lead to inefficient and less accuratemodels.Traditional predictionmethodologies face limitations in effectively handling large feature sets and optimizing classification performance,which can result in overfitting poor generalization,and high computational cost.This work proposes a novel classification model for heart disease prediction that addresses these challenges by integrating feature selection through a Genetic Algorithm(GA)with an ensemble deep learning approach optimized using the Tunicate Swarm Algorithm(TSA).GA selects the most relevant features,reducing dimensionality and improvingmodel efficiency.Theselected features are then used to train an ensemble of deep learning models,where the TSA optimizes the weight of each model in the ensemble to enhance prediction accuracy.This hybrid approach addresses key challenges in the field,such as high dimensionality,redundant features,and classification performance,by introducing an efficient feature selection mechanism and optimizing the weighting of deep learning models in the ensemble.These enhancements result in a model that achieves superior accuracy,generalization,and efficiency compared to traditional methods.The proposed model demonstrated notable advancements in both prediction accuracy and computational efficiency over traditionalmodels.Specifically,it achieved an accuracy of 97.5%,a sensitivity of 97.2%,and a specificity of 97.8%.Additionally,with a 60-40 data split and 5-fold cross-validation,the model showed a significant reduction in training time(90 s),memory consumption(950 MB),and CPU usage(80%),highlighting its effectiveness in processing large,complex medical datasets for heart disease prediction.
文摘In the evolving landscape of cyber threats,phishing attacks pose significant challenges,particularly through deceptive webpages designed to extract sensitive information under the guise of legitimacy.Conventional and machine learning(ML)-based detection systems struggle to detect phishing websites owing to their constantly changing tactics.Furthermore,newer phishing websites exhibit subtle and expertly concealed indicators that are not readily detectable.Hence,effective detection depends on identifying the most critical features.Traditional feature selection(FS)methods often struggle to enhance ML model performance and instead decrease it.To combat these issues,we propose an innovative method using explainable AI(XAI)to enhance FS in ML models and improve the identification of phishing websites.Specifically,we employ SHapley Additive exPlanations(SHAP)for global perspective and aggregated local interpretable model-agnostic explanations(LIME)to deter-mine specific localized patterns.The proposed SHAP and LIME-aggregated FS(SLA-FS)framework pinpoints the most informative features,enabling more precise,swift,and adaptable phishing detection.Applying this approach to an up-to-date web phishing dataset,we evaluate the performance of three ML models before and after FS to assess their effectiveness.Our findings reveal that random forest(RF),with an accuracy of 97.41%and XGBoost(XGB)at 97.21%significantly benefit from the SLA-FS framework,while k-nearest neighbors lags.Our framework increases the accuracy of RF and XGB by 0.65%and 0.41%,respectively,outperforming traditional filter or wrapper methods and any prior methods evaluated on this dataset,showcasing its potential.

文摘Seismic data denoising is a critical process usually applied at various stages of the seismic processing workflow,as our ability to mitigate noise in seismic data affects the quality of our subsequent analyses.However,finding an optimal balance between preserving seismic signals and effectively reducing seismic noise presents a substantial challenge.In this study,we introduce a multi-stage deep learning model,trained in a self-supervised manner,designed specifically to suppress seismic noise while minimizing signal leakage.This model operates as a patch-based approach,extracting overlapping patches from the noisy data and converting them into 1D vectors for input.It consists of two identical sub-networks,each configured differently.Inspired by the transformer architecture,each sub-network features an embedded block that comprises two fully connected layers,which are utilized for feature extraction from the input patches.After reshaping,a multi-head attention module enhances the model’s focus on significant features by assigning higher attention weights to them.The key difference between the two sub-networks lies in the number of neurons within their fully connected layers.The first sub-network serves as a strong denoiser with a small number of neurons,effectively attenuating seismic noise;in contrast,the second sub-network functions as a signal-add-back model,using a larger number of neurons to retrieve some of the signal that was not preserved in the output of the first sub-network.The proposed model produces two outputs,each corresponding to one of the sub-networks,and both sub-networks are optimized simultaneously using the noisy data as the label for both outputs.Evaluations conducted on both synthetic and field data demonstrate the model’s effectiveness in suppressing seismic noise with minimal signal leakage,outperforming some benchmark methods.
