文摘Metaheuristics are commonly used in various fields,including real-life problem-solving and engineering applications.The present work introduces a novel metaheuristic algorithm named the Artificial Circulatory System Algorithm(ACSA).The control of the circulatory system inspires it and mimics the behavior of hormonal and neural regulators involved in this process.The work initially evaluates the effectiveness of the suggested approach on 16 two-dimensional test functions,identified as classical benchmark functions.The method was subsequently examined by application to 12 CEC 2022 benchmark problems of different complexities.Furthermore,the paper evaluates ACSA in comparison to 64 metaheuristic methods that are derived from different approaches,including evolutionary,human,physics,and swarm-based.Subsequently,a sequence of statistical tests was undertaken to examine the superiority of the suggested algorithm in comparison to the 7 most widely used algorithms in the existing literature.The results show that the ACSA strategy can quickly reach the global optimum,avoid getting trapped in local optima,and effectively maintain a balance between exploration and exploitation.ACSA outperformed 42 algorithms statistically,according to post-hoc tests.It also outperformed 9 algorithms quantitatively.The study concludes that ACSA offers competitive solutions in comparison to popüler methods.

文摘To address the issue of abnormal energy consumption fluctuations in the converter steelmaking process,an integrated diagnostic method combining the gray wolf optimization(GWO)algorithm,support vector machine(SVM),and K-means clustering was proposed.Eight input parameters—derived from molten iron conditions and external factors—were selected as feature variables.A GWO-SVM model was developed to accurately predict the energy consumption of individual heats.Based on the prediction results,the mean absolute percentage error and maximum relative error of the test set were employed as criteria to identify heats with abnormal energy usage.For these heats,the K-means clustering algorithm was used to determine benchmark values of influencing factors from similar steel grades,enabling root-cause diagnosis of excessive energy consumption.The proposed method was applied to real production data from a converter in a steel plant.The analysis reveals that heat sample No.44 exhibits abnormal energy consumption,due to gas recovery being 1430.28 kg of standard coal below the benchmark level.A secondary contributing factor is a steam recovery shortfall of 237.99 kg of standard coal.This integrated approach offers a scientifically grounded tool for energy management in converter operations and provides valuable guidance for optimizing process parameters and enhancing energy efficiency.

文摘In the context of rural revitalization and the development of smart agriculture, image classification technology based on deep learning has emerged as a crucial tool for digital monitoring and intelligent prevention and control of agricultural diseases. This paper provides a systematic review of the evolutionary development of algorithms within this field. Addressing challenges such as domain drift and limited global awareness in classical convolutional neural networks (CNNs) applied to complex agricultural environments, the paper focuses on the latest advancements in vision transformers (ViT) and their hybrid architectures to enhance cross-domain robustness and fine-grained recognition capabilities. In response to the challenges posed by scarce long-tail data and limited edge computing power in real-world scenarios, the paper explores solutions related to few-shot learning and ultra-lightweight network deployment. Finally, a forward-looking analysis is presented on the application paradigms of multimodal feature fusion, vision-based large models, and explainable artificial intelligence (AI) within smart plant protection. This analysis aims to offer theoretical insights for the development of efficient and transparent intelligent diagnostic systems for agricultural diseases, thereby supporting the advancement of digital agriculture and the construction of a robust agricultural nation.

文摘Accurate prediction of flood events is important for flood control and risk management.Machine learning techniques contributed greatly to advances in flood predictions,and existing studies mainly focused on predicting flood resource variables using single or hybrid machine learning techniques.However,class-based flood predictions have rarely been investigated,which can aid in quickly diagnosing comprehensive flood characteristics and proposing targeted management strategies.This study proposed a prediction approach of flood regime metrics and event classes coupling machine learning algorithms with clustering-deduced membership degrees.Five algorithms were adopted for this exploration.Results showed that the class membership degrees accurately determined event classes with class hit rates up to 100%,compared with the four classes clustered from nine regime metrics.The nonlinear algorithms(Multiple Linear Regression,Random Forest,and least squares-Support Vector Machine)outperformed the linear techniques(Multiple Linear Regression and Stepwise Regression)in predicting flood regime metrics.The proposed approach well predicted flood event classes with average class hit rates of 66.0%-85.4%and 47.2%-76.0%in calibration and validation periods,respectively,particularly for the slow and late flood events.The predictive capability of the proposed prediction approach for flood regime metrics and classes was considerably stronger than that of hydrological modeling approach.

文摘The cemented tailings backfill(CTB)with initial defects is more prone to destabilization damage under the influence of various unfavorable factors during the mining process.In order to investigate its influence on the stability of underground mining engineering,this paper simulates the generation of different degrees of initial defects inside the CTB by adding different contents of air-entraining agent(AEA),investigates the acoustic emission RA/AF eigenvalues of CTB with different contents of AEA under uniaxial compression,and adopts various denoising algorithms(e.g.,moving average smoothing,median filtering,and outlier detection)to improve the accuracy of the data.The variance and autocorrelation coefficients of RA/AF parameters were analyzed in conjunction with the critical slowing down(CSD)theory.The results show that the acoustic emission RA/AF values can be used to characterize the progressive damage evolution of CTB.The denoising algorithm processed the AE signals to reduce the effects of extraneous noise and anomalous spikes.Changes in the variance curves provide clear precursor information,while abrupt changes in the autocorrelation coefficient can be used as an auxiliary localization warning signal.The phenomenon of dramatic increase in the variance and autocorrelation coefficient curves during the compression-tightening stage,which is influenced by the initial defects,can lead to false warnings.As the initial defects of the CTB increase,its instability precursor time and instability time are prolonged,the peak stress decreases,and the time difference between the CTB and the instability damage is smaller.The results provide a new method for real-time monitoring and early warning of CTB instability damage.
文摘Recently,bio-inspired algorithms have been increasingly explored for autonomous robot path planning on grid-based maps.However,these approaches endure performance degradation as problem complexity increases,often resulting in lengthy search times to find an optimal solution.This limitation is particularly critical for real-world applications like autonomous off-road vehicles,where highquality path computation is essential for energy efficiency.To address these challenges,this paper proposes a new graph-based optimal path planning approach that leverages a sort of bio-inspired algorithm,improved seagull optimization algorithm(iSOA)for rapid path planning of autonomous robots.A modified Douglas–Peucker(mDP)algorithm is developed to approximate irregular obstacles as polygonal obstacles based on the environment image in rough terrains.The resulting mDPderived graph is then modeled using a Maklink graph theory.By applying the iSOA approach,the trajectory of an autonomous robot in the workspace is optimized.Additionally,a Bezier-curve-based smoothing approach is developed to generate safer and smoother trajectories while adhering to curvature constraints.The proposed model is validated through simulated experiments undertaken in various real-world settings,and its performance is compared with state-of-the-art algorithms.The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model outperforms existing approaches in terms of time cost and path length.
文摘Optimizing convolutional neural networks(CNNs)for IoT attack detection remains a critical yet challenging task due to the need to balance multiple performance metrics beyond mere accuracy.This study proposes a unified and flexible optimization framework that leverages metaheuristic algorithms to automatically optimize CNN configurations for IoT attack detection.Unlike conventional single-objective approaches,the proposed method formulates a global multi-objective fitness function that integrates accuracy,precision,recall,and model size(speed/model complexity penalty)with adjustable weights.This design enables both single-objective and weightedsum multi-objective optimization,allowing adaptive selection of optimal CNN configurations for diverse deployment requirements.Two representativemetaheuristic algorithms,GeneticAlgorithm(GA)and Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO),are employed to optimize CNNhyperparameters and structure.At each generation/iteration,the best configuration is selected as themost balanced solution across optimization objectives,i.e.,the one achieving themaximum value of the global objective function.Experimental validation on two benchmark datasets,Edge-IIoT and CIC-IoT2023,demonstrates that the proposed GA-and PSO-based models significantly enhance detection accuracy(94.8%–98.3%)and generalization compared with manually tuned CNN configurations,while maintaining compact architectures.The results confirm that the multi-objective framework effectively balances predictive performance and computational efficiency.This work establishes a generalizable and adaptive optimization strategy for deep learning-based IoT attack detection and provides a foundation for future hybrid metaheuristic extensions in broader IoT security applications.

文摘Network Intrusion Detection System(IDS)aims to maintain computer network security by detecting several forms of attacks and unauthorized uses of applications which often can not be detected by firewalls.The features selection approach plays an important role in constructing effective network IDS.Various bio-inspired metaheuristic algorithms used to reduce features to classify network traffic as abnormal or normal traffic within a shorter duration and showing more accuracy.Therefore,this paper aims to propose a hybrid model for network IDS based on hybridization bio-inspired metaheuristic algorithms to detect the generic attack.The proposed model has two objectives;The first one is to reduce the number of selected features for Network IDS.This objective was met through the hybridization of bioinspired metaheuristic algorithms with each other in a hybrid model.The algorithms used in this paper are particle swarm optimization(PSO),multiverse optimizer(MVO),grey wolf optimizer(GWO),moth-flame optimization(MFO),whale optimization algorithm(WOA),firefly algorithm(FFA),and bat algorithm(BAT).The second objective is to detect the generic attack using machine learning classifiers.This objective was met through employing the support vector machine(SVM),C4.5(J48)decision tree,and random forest(RF)classifiers.UNSW-NB15 dataset used for assessing the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid model.UNSW-NB15 dataset has nine attacks type.The generic attack is the highest among them.Therefore,the proposed model aims to identify generic attacks.My data showed that J48 is the best classifier compared to SVM and RF for the time needed to build the model.In terms of features reduction for the classification,my data show that the MFO-WOA and FFA-GWO models reduce the features to 15 features with close accuracy,sensitivity and F-measure of all features,whereas MVO-BAT model reduces features to 24 features with the same accuracy,sensitivity and F-measure of all features for all classifiers.

文摘Nowadays,meta-heuristic algorithms are attracting widespread interest in solving high-dimensional nonlinear optimization problems.In this paper,a COVID-19 prevention-inspired bionic optimization algorithm,named Coronavirus Mask Protection Algorithm(CMPA),is proposed based on the virus transmission of COVID-19.The main inspiration for the CMPA originated from human self-protection behavior against COVID-19.In CMPA,the process of infection and immunity consists of three phases,including the infection stage,diffusion stage,and immune stage.Notably,wearing masks correctly and safe social distancing are two essential factors for humans to protect themselves,which are similar to the exploration and exploitation in optimization algorithms.This study simulates the self-protection behavior mathematically and offers an optimization algorithm.The performance of the proposed CMPA is evaluated and compared to other state-of-the-art metaheuristic optimizers using benchmark functions,CEC2020 suite problems,and three truss design problems.The statistical results demonstrate that the CMPA is more competitive among these state-of-the-art algorithms.Further,the CMPA is performed to identify the parameters of the main girder of a gantry crane.Results show that the mass and deflection of the main girder can be improved by 16.44%and 7.49%,respectively.
