文摘The problem of collision avoidance for non-cooperative targets has received significant attention from researchers in recent years.Non-cooperative targets exhibit uncertain states and unpredictable behaviors,making collision avoidance significantly more challenging than that for space debris.Much existing research focuses on the continuous thrust model,whereas the impulsive maneuver model is more appropriate for long-duration and long-distance avoidance missions.Additionally,it is important to minimize the impact on the original mission while avoiding noncooperative targets.On the other hand,the existing avoidance algorithms are computationally complex and time-consuming especially with the limited computing capability of the on-board computer,posing challenges for practical engineering applications.To conquer these difficulties,this paper makes the following key contributions:(A)a turn-based(sequential decision-making)limited-area impulsive collision avoidance model considering the time delay of precision orbit determination is established for the first time;(B)a novel Selection Probability Learning Adaptive Search-depth Search Tree(SPL-ASST)algorithm is proposed for non-cooperative target avoidance,which improves the decision-making efficiency by introducing an adaptive-search-depth mechanism and a neural network into the traditional Monte Carlo Tree Search(MCTS).Numerical simulations confirm the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method.

文摘Prediction of the age of each individual is possible using the changing pattern of DNA methylation with age.In this paper an age prediction approach to work out multivariate regression problems using DNA methylation data is developed.In this research study a convolutional neural network(CNN)-based model optimised by the genetic algorithm(GA)is addressed.This paper contributes to enhancing age prediction as a regression problem using a union of two CNNs and exchanging knowledge be-tween them.This specifically re-starts the training process from a possibly higher-quality point in different iterations and,consequently,causes potentially yeilds better results at each iteration.The method proposed,which is called cooperative deep neural network(Co-DeepNet),is tested on two types of age prediction problems.Sixteen datasets containing 1899 healthy blood samples and nine datasets containing 2395 diseased blood samples are employed to examine the method's efficiency.As a result,the mean absolute deviation(MAD)is 1.49 and 3.61 years for training and testing data,respectively,when the healthy data is tested.The diseased blood data show MAD results of 3.81 and 5.43 years for training and testing data,respectively.The results of the Co-DeepNet are compared with six other methods proposed in previous studies and a single CNN using four prediction accuracy measurements(R^(2),MAD,MSE and RMSE).The effectiveness of the Co-DeepNet and superiority of its results is proved through the statistical analysis.
文摘With the increasing importance of supply chain transparency,blockchain-based data has emerged as a valuable and verifiable source for analyzing procurement transaction risks.This study extends the mathematical model and proof of‘the Overall Performance Characteristics of the Supply Chain’to encompass multiple variables within blockchain data.Utilizing graph theory,the model is further developed into a single-layer neural network,which serves as the foundation for constructing two multi-layer deep learning neural network models,Feedforward Neural Network(abbreviated as FNN)and Deep Clustering Network(abbreviated as DCN).Furthermore,this study retrieves corporate data from the Chunghwa Yellow Pages online resource and Taiwan Economic Journal database(abbreviated as TEJ).These data are then virtualized using‘the Metaverse Algorithm’,and the selected virtualized blockchain variables are utilized to train a neural network model for classification.The results demonstrate that a single-layer neural network model,leveraging blockchain data and employing the Proof of Relation algorithm(abbreviated as PoR)as the activation function,effectively identifies anomalous enterprises,which constitute 7.2%of the total sample,aligning with expectations.In contrast,the multi-layer neural network models,DCN and FNN,classify an excessively large proportion of enterprises as anomalous(ranging from one-fourth to one-third),which deviates from expectations.This indicates that deep learning may still be inadequate in effectively capturing or identifying malicious corporate behaviors associated with distortions in procurement transaction data.In other words,procurement transaction blockchain data possesses intrinsic value that cannot be replaced by artificial intelligence(abbreviated as AI).
文摘In the context of climate change,countries in West Africa are faced with recurrent flooding with catastrophic consequences,that makes it imperative to have access to rainfall information on fine spatial and temporal scales for better monitoring and prediction of these phenomena,as could be provided by weather radars.Based on an extensive archive of data from the X-band polarimetric radar and rain gauges observations gathered during the intensive AMMA campaigns in 2006–2007 and the Megha-Tropiques satellite measurement validation programme in 2010 in West Africa,we(i)simulated jointly realistic data for polarimetric radar variables and rain intensity using copula,and(ii)assessed rain rate estimation methods based on neural network(NN)inversion techniques and non-linearly calibrated parametric algorithms.The assessment of rainfall rate retrieval by these estimators is carried out using the part of the observations database not employed for calibration steps.The multiparametric algorithms R(ZH,K_(DP))and R(Z_(DR),K_(DP))perform better than R(ZH,Z_(DR))and R(ZH,Z_(DR),K_(DP)),especially since they are calibrated using copulas with upper tail dependencies,with KGE ranging in 0.68–0.75 and 0.79–0.82,respectively versus ranges of 0.40–0.64 and 0.20–0.51,for the two latter estimators.The neural network-based estimators RNN(Z_(DR),K_(DP))and RNN(ZH,K_(DP)),show KGE score characteristics comparable to those obtained from the best parametric relations,specifically optimized for the synthetic copula-based dataset.However,the neural network-based estimators were shown to be more robust when applied to a specific rainfall event.More specifically,neural network-based estimators trained on synthetic data are sensitive to the copulas’ability to capture the dependence between the variables of interest over the entire distribution of joint values.This leads to a near-cancellation of sensitivity to variability in the raindrop size distribution,as shown the coefficients of correlation near 1,especially for RNN(Z_(DR),K_(DP)),and for less extent RNN(Z_(H),K_(DP)).

文摘Developing an accurate and efficient comprehensive water quality prediction model and its assessment method is crucial for the prevention and control of water pollution.Deep learning(DL),as one of the most promising technologies today,plays a crucial role in the effective assessment of water body health,which is essential for water resource management.This study models using both the original dataset and a dataset augmented with Generative Adversarial Networks(GAN).It integrates optimization algorithms(OA)with Convolutional Neural Networks(CNN)to propose a comprehensive water quality model evaluation method aiming at identifying the optimal models for different pollutants.Specifically,after preprocessing the spectral dataset,data augmentation was conducted to obtain two datasets.Then,six new models were developed on these datasets using particle swarm optimization(PSO),genetic algorithm(GA),and simulated annealing(SA)combined with CNN to simulate and forecast the concentrations of three water pollutants:Chemical Oxygen Demand(COD),Total Nitrogen(TN),and Total Phosphorus(TP).Finally,seven model evaluation methods,including uncertainty analysis,were used to evaluate the constructed models and select the optimal models for the three pollutants.The evaluation results indicate that the GPSCNN model performed best in predicting COD and TP concentrations,while the GGACNN model excelled in TN concentration prediction.Compared to existing technologies,the proposed models and evaluation methods provide a more comprehensive and rapid approach to water body prediction and assessment,offering new insights and methods for water pollution prevention and control.

文摘Fatigue damage is a primary contributor to the failure of composite structures,underscoring the critical importance of monitoring its progression to ensure structural safety.This paper introduces an innovative approach to fatigue damage monitoring in composite structures,leveraging a hybrid methodology that integrates the Whale Optimization Algorithm(WOA)-Backpropagation(BP)neural network with an ultrasonic guided wave feature selection algorithm.Initially,a network of piezoelectric ceramic sensors is employed to transmit and capture ultrasonic-guided waves,thereby establishing a signal space that correlates with the structural condition.Subsequently,the Relief-F algorithm is applied for signal feature extraction,culminating in the formation of a feature matrix.This matrix is then utilized to train the WOA-BP neural network,which optimizes the fatigue damage identification model globally.The proposed model’s efficacy in quantifying fatigue damage is tested against fatigue test datasets,with its performance benchmarked against the traditional BP neural network algorithm.The findings demonstrate that the WOA-BP neural network model not only surpasses the BP model in predictive accuracy but also exhibits enhanced global search capabilities.The effect of different sensor-receiver path signals on the model damage recognition results is also discussed.The results of the discussion found that the path directly through the damaged area is more accurate in modeling damage recognition compared to the path signals away from the damaged area.Consequently,the proposed monitoring method in the fatigue test dataset is adept at accurately tracking and recognizing the progression of fatigue damage.
文摘Any malfunctions of the actuators of the robots have the potential to destroy the robot’s normal motion,and most of the current actuator fault diagnosis methods are difficult to meet the requirements of simplifying the actuator modeling and solving the difficulty of fault data collection.To solve the problem of real-time diagnosis of actuator faults in the 3-PR(P)S parallel robot,the model of 3-PR(P)S parallel robot and data-driven-based method for the fault diagnosis are presented.Firstly,only the input-output relationship of the actuator is considered for modeling actuator faults,reducing the complexity of fault modeling and reducing the time consumption of parameter identification,thereby meeting the requirements of real-time diagnosis.A Simulink model of the electromechanical actuator(EMA)was constructed to analyze actuator faults.Then the short-term analysis method was employed for collecting the sample data of the slider position on the test platform of the EMA system and feature extraction.Training samples for neural networks are obtained.Furthermore,we optimized the Back Propagation(BP)neural network using the Dung Beetle Optimization Algorithm(DBO),which effectively resolved the weights and thresholds of the BP neural network.Compared to BP and Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO)-BP,the DBO-BP has better convergence,convergence rate,and the best-classifying quality.So,the classification for the different actuator faults is obviously improved.Finally,a fault diagnosis system was designed for the actuator of the 3-PR(P)S parallel robot,and the experimental results demonstrate that this system can detect actuator faults within 0.1 seconds.This work also provides the technical support for the fault-tolerant control of the 3-PR(P)S Parallel robot.

文摘Enhancing the accuracy of real-time ship roll prediction is crucial for maritime safety and operational efficiency.To address the challenge of accurately predicting the ship roll status with nonlinear time-varying dynamic characteristics,a real-time ship roll prediction scheme is proposed on the basis of a data preprocessing strategy and a novel stochastic trainer-based feedforward neural network.The sliding data window serves as a ship time-varying dynamic observer to enhance model prediction stability.The variational mode decomposition method extracts effective information on ship roll motion and reduces the non-stationary characteristics of the series.The energy entropy method reconstructs the mode components into high-frequency,medium-frequency,and low-frequency series to reduce model complexity.An improved black widow optimization algorithm trainer-based feedforward neural network with enhanced local optimal avoidance predicts the high-frequency component,enabling accurate tracking of abrupt signals.Additionally,the deterministic algorithm trainer-based neural network,characterized by rapid processing speed,predicts the remaining two mode components.Thus,real-time ship roll forecasting can be achieved through the reconstruction of mode component prediction results.The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed hybrid prediction scheme for ship roll motion are demonstrated through the measured data of a full-scale ship trial.The proposed prediction scheme achieves real-time ship roll prediction with superior prediction accuracy.

文摘Convolutional neural networks(CNNs)exhibit superior performance in image feature extraction,making them extensively used in the area of traffic sign recognition.However,the design of existing traffic sign recognition algorithms often relies on expert knowledge to enhance the image feature extraction networks,necessitating image preprocessing and model parameter tuning.This increases the complexity of the model design process.This study introduces an evolutionary neural architecture search(ENAS)algorithm for the automatic design of neural network models tailored for traffic sign recognition.By integrating the construction parameters of residual network(ResNet)into evolutionary algorithms(EAs),we automatically generate lightweight networks for traffic sign recognition,utilizing blocks as the fundamental building units.Experimental evaluations on the German traffic sign recognition benchmark(GTSRB)dataset reveal that the algorithm attains a recognition accuracy of 99.32%,with a mere 2.8×10^(6)parameters.Experimental results comparing the proposed method with other traffic sign recognition algorithms demonstrate that the method can more efficiently discover neural network architectures,significantly reducing the number of network parameters while maintaining recognition accuracy.
文摘Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs)have emerged as crucial tools for real-time environmental monitoring through distributed sensor nodes(SNs).However,the operational lifespan of WSNs is significantly constrained by the limited energy resources of SNs.Current energy efficiency strategies,such as clustering,multi-hop routing,and data aggregation,face challenges,including uneven energy depletion,high computational demands,and suboptimal cluster head(CH)selection.To address these limitations,this paper proposes a hybrid methodology that optimizes energy consumption(EC)while maintaining network performance.The proposed approach integrates the Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy with Deterministic(LEACH-D)protocol using an Artificial Neural Network(ANN)and Bayesian Regularization Algorithm(BRA).LEACH-D improves upon conventional LEACH by ensuring more uniform energy usage across SNs,mitigating inefficiencies from random CH selection.The ANN further enhances CH selection and routing processes,effectively reducing data transmission overhead and idle listening.Simulation results reveal that the LEACH-D-ANN model significantly reduces EC and extends the network’s lifespan compared to existing protocols.This framework offers a promising solution to the energy efficiency challenges in WSNs,paving the way for more sustainable and reliable network deployments.

The combination way of the two optimizing algorithms was used in board allocating of furniture production. In the experiment, the rectangular flake board of 3650 mm 1850 mm was used as raw material to allocate 100 sets of Table Bucked. The utilizing rate of the board reached 94.14 % and the calculating time was only 35 s. The experiment result proofed that the method by using the GA for optimizing the weights of the ANN can raise the utilizing rate of the board and can shorten the time of the design. At the same time, this method can simultaneously searched in many directions, thus greatly in-creasing the probability of finding a global optimum.
