文摘The Bat algorithm,a metaheuristic optimization technique inspired by the foraging behaviour of bats,has been employed to tackle optimization problems.Known for its ease of implementation,parameter tunability,and strong global search capabilities,this algorithm finds application across diverse optimization problem domains.However,in the face of increasingly complex optimization challenges,the Bat algorithm encounters certain limitations,such as slow convergence and sensitivity to initial solutions.In order to tackle these challenges,the present study incorporates a range of optimization compo-nents into the Bat algorithm,thereby proposing a variant called PKEBA.A projection screening strategy is implemented to mitigate its sensitivity to initial solutions,thereby enhancing the quality of the initial solution set.A kinetic adaptation strategy reforms exploration patterns,while an elite communication strategy enhances group interaction,to avoid algorithm from local optima.Subsequently,the effectiveness of the proposed PKEBA is rigorously evaluated.Testing encompasses 30 benchmark functions from IEEE CEC2014,featuring ablation experiments and comparative assessments against classical algorithms and their variants.Moreover,real-world engineering problems are employed as further validation.The results conclusively demonstrate that PKEBA ex-hibits superior convergence and precision compared to existing algorithms.

文摘The surge in smishing attacks underscores the urgent need for robust,real-time detection systems powered by advanced deep learning models.This paper introduces PhishNet,a novel ensemble learning framework that integrates transformer-based models(RoBERTa)and large language models(LLMs)(GPT-OSS 120B,LLaMA3.370B,and Qwen332B)to enhance smishing detection performance significantly.To mitigate class imbalance,we apply synthetic data augmentation using T5 and leverage various text preprocessing techniques.Our system employs a duallayer voting mechanism:weighted majority voting among LLMs and a final ensemble vote to classify messages as ham,spam,or smishing.Experimental results show an average accuracy improvement from 96%to 98.5%compared to the best standalone transformer,and from 93%to 98.5%when compared to LLMs across datasets.Furthermore,we present a real-time,user-friendly application to operationalize our detection model for practical use.PhishNet demonstrates superior scalability,usability,and detection accuracy,filling critical gaps in current smishing detection methodologies.

文摘Brain tumors require precise segmentation for diagnosis and treatment plans due to their complex morphology and heterogeneous characteristics.While MRI-based automatic brain tumor segmentation technology reduces the burden on medical staff and provides quantitative information,existing methodologies and recent models still struggle to accurately capture and classify the fine boundaries and diverse morphologies of tumors.In order to address these challenges and maximize the performance of brain tumor segmentation,this research introduces a novel SwinUNETR-based model by integrating a new decoder block,the Hierarchical Channel-wise Attention Decoder(HCAD),into a powerful SwinUNETR encoder.The HCAD decoder block utilizes hierarchical features and channelspecific attention mechanisms to further fuse information at different scales transmitted from the encoder and preserve spatial details throughout the reconstruction phase.Rigorous evaluations on the recent BraTS GLI datasets demonstrate that the proposed SwinHCAD model achieved superior and improved segmentation accuracy on both the Dice score and HD95 metrics across all tumor subregions(WT,TC,and ET)compared to baseline models.In particular,the rationale and contribution of the model design were clarified through ablation studies to verify the effectiveness of the proposed HCAD decoder block.The results of this study are expected to greatly contribute to enhancing the efficiency of clinical diagnosis and treatment planning by increasing the precision of automated brain tumor segmentation.
文摘Modern manufacturing processes have become more reliant on automation because of the accelerated transition from Industry 3.0 to Industry 4.0.Manual inspection of products on assembly lines remains inefficient,prone to errors and lacks consistency,emphasizing the need for a reliable and automated inspection system.Leveraging both object detection and image segmentation approaches,this research proposes a vision-based solution for the detection of various kinds of tools in the toolkit using deep learning(DL)models.Two Intel RealSense D455f depth cameras were arranged in a top down configuration to capture both RGB and depth images of the toolkits.After applying multiple constraints and enhancing them through preprocessing and augmentation,a dataset consisting of 3300 annotated RGB-D photos was generated.Several DL models were selected through a comprehensive assessment of mean Average Precision(mAP),precision-recall equilibrium,inference latency(target≥30 FPS),and computational burden,resulting in a preference for YOLO and Region-based Convolutional Neural Networks(R-CNN)variants over ViT-based models due to the latter’s increased latency and resource requirements.YOLOV5,YOLOV8,YOLOV11,Faster R-CNN,and Mask R-CNN were trained on the annotated dataset and evaluated using key performance metrics(Recall,Accuracy,F1-score,and Precision).YOLOV11 demonstrated balanced excellence with 93.0%precision,89.9%recall,and a 90.6%F1-score in object detection,as well as 96.9%precision,95.3%recall,and a 96.5%F1-score in instance segmentation with an average inference time of 25 ms per frame(≈40 FPS),demonstrating real-time performance.Leveraging these results,a YOLOV11-based windows application was successfully deployed in a real-time assembly line environment,where it accurately processed live video streams to detect and segment tools within toolkits,demonstrating its practical effectiveness in industrial automation.The application is capable of precisely measuring socket dimensions by utilising edge detection techniques on YOLOv11 segmentation masks,in addition to detection and segmentation.This makes it possible to do specification-level quality control right on the assembly line,which improves the ability to examine things in real time.The implementation is a big step forward for intelligent manufacturing in the Industry 4.0 paradigm.It provides a scalable,efficient,and accurate way to do automated inspection and dimensional verification activities.

文摘Images taken in dim environments frequently exhibit issues like insufficient brightness,noise,color shifts,and loss of detail.These problems pose significant challenges to dark image enhancement tasks.Current approaches,while effective in global illumination modeling,often struggle to simultaneously suppress noise and preserve structural details,especially under heterogeneous lighting.Furthermore,misalignment between luminance and color channels introduces additional challenges to accurate enhancement.In response to the aforementioned difficulties,we introduce a single-stage framework,M2ATNet,using the multi-scale multi-attention and Transformer architecture.First,to address the problems of texture blurring and residual noise,we design a multi-scale multi-attention denoising module(MMAD),which is applied separately to the luminance and color channels to enhance the structural and texture modeling capabilities.Secondly,to solve the non-alignment problem of the luminance and color channels,we introduce the multi-channel feature fusion Transformer(CFFT)module,which effectively recovers the dark details and corrects the color shifts through cross-channel alignment and deep feature interaction.To guide the model to learn more stably and efficiently,we also fuse multiple types of loss functions to form a hybrid loss term.We extensively evaluate the proposed method on various standard datasets,including LOL-v1,LOL-v2,DICM,LIME,and NPE.Evaluation in terms of numerical metrics and visual quality demonstrate that M2ATNet consistently outperforms existing advanced approaches.Ablation studies further confirm the critical roles played by the MMAD and CFFT modules to detail preservation and visual fidelity under challenging illumination-deficient environments.

文摘Presently,precision agriculture processes like plant disease,crop yield prediction,species recognition,weed detection,and irrigation can be accom-plished by the use of computer vision(CV)approaches.Weed plays a vital role in influencing crop productivity.The wastage and pollution of farmland's natural atmosphere instigated by full coverage chemical herbicide spraying are increased.Since the proper identification of weeds from crops helps to reduce the usage of herbicide and improve productivity,this study presents a novel computer vision and deep learning based weed detection and classification(CVDL-WDC)model for precision agriculture.The proposed CVDL-WDC technique intends to prop-erly discriminate the plants as well as weeds.The proposed CVDL-WDC technique involves two processes namely multiscale Faster RCNN based object detection and optimal extreme learning machine(ELM)based weed classification.The parameters of the ELM model are optimally adjusted by the use of farmland fertility optimization(FFO)algorithm.A comprehensive simulation analysis of the CVDL-WDC technique against benchmark dataset reported the enhanced out-comes over its recent approaches interms of several measures.
文摘Depression is a serious medical condition and is a leading cause of disability worldwide.Current depression diagnostics and assessment has significant limitations due to heterogeneity of clinical presentations,lack of objective assessments,and assessments that rely on patients'perceptions,memory,and recall.Digital phenotyping(DP),especially assessments conducted using mobile health technologies,has the potential to greatly improve accuracy of depression diagnostics by generating objectively measurable endophenotypes.DP includes two primary sources of digital data generated using ecological momentary assessments(EMA),assessments conducted in real-time,in subjects'natural environment.This includes active EMA,data that require active input by the subject,and passive EMA or passive sensing,data passively and automatically collected from subjects'personal digital devices.The raw data is then analyzed using machine learning algorithms to identify behavioral patterns that correlate with patients'clinical status.Preliminary investigations have also shown that linguistic and behavioral clues from social media data and data extracted from the electronic medical records can be used to predict depression status.These other sources of data and recent advances in telepsychiatry can further enhance DP of the depressed patients.Success of DP endeavors depends on critical contributions from both psychiatric and engineering disciplines.The current review integrates important perspectives from both disciplines and discusses parameters for successful interdisciplinary collaborations.A clinically-relevant model for incorporating DP in clinical setting is presented.This model,based on investigations conducted by our group,delineates development of a depression prediction system and its integration in clinical setting to enhance depression diagnostics and inform the clinical decision making process.Benefits,challenges,and opportunities pertaining to clinical integration of DP of depression diagnostics are discussed from interdisciplinary perspectives.

文摘In this work,we propose a new,fully automated system for multiclass skin lesion localization and classification using deep learning.The main challenge is to address the problem of imbalanced data classes,found in HAM10000,ISBI2018,and ISBI2019 datasets.Initially,we consider a pretrained deep neural network model,DarkeNet19,and fine-tune the parameters of third convolutional layer to generate the image gradients.All the visualized images are fused using a High-Frequency approach along with Multilayered Feed-Forward Neural Network(HFaFFNN).The resultant image is further enhanced by employing a log-opening based activation function to generate a localized binary image.Later,two pre-trained deep models,Darknet-53 and NasNet-mobile,are employed and fine-tuned according to the selected datasets.The concept of transfer learning is later explored to train both models,where the input feed is the generated localized lesion images.In the subsequent step,the extracted features are fused using parallel max entropy correlation(PMEC)technique.To avoid the problem of overfitting and to select the most discriminant feature information,we implement a hybrid optimization algorithm called entropy-kurtosis controlled whale optimization(EKWO)algorithm.The selected features are finally passed to the softmax classifier for the final classification.Three datasets are used for the experimental process,such as HAM10000,ISBI2018,and ISBI2019 to achieve an accuracy of 95.8%,97.1%,and 85.35%,respectively.
文摘This paper investigates the application ofmachine learning to develop a response model to cardiovascular problems and the use of AdaBoost which incorporates an application of Outlier Detection methodologies namely;Z-Score incorporated with GreyWolf Optimization(GWO)as well as Interquartile Range(IQR)coupled with Ant Colony Optimization(ACO).Using a performance index,it is shown that when compared with the Z-Score and GWO with AdaBoost,the IQR and ACO,with AdaBoost are not very accurate(89.0%vs.86.0%)and less discriminative(Area Under the Curve(AUC)score of 93.0%vs.91.0%).The Z-Score and GWO methods also outperformed the others in terms of precision,scoring 89.0%;and the recall was also found to be satisfactory,scoring 90.0%.Thus,the paper helps to reveal various specific benefits and drawbacks associated with different outlier detection and feature selection techniques,which can be important to consider in further improving various aspects of diagnostics in cardiovascular health.Collectively,these findings can enhance the knowledge of heart disease prediction and patient treatment using enhanced and innovativemachine learning(ML)techniques.These findings when combined improve patient therapy knowledge and cardiac disease prediction through the use of cutting-edge and improved machine learning approaches.This work lays the groundwork for more precise diagnosis models by highlighting the benefits of combining multiple optimization methodologies.Future studies should focus on maximizing patient outcomes and model efficacy through research on these combinations.

文摘The Brain Tumor(BT)is created by an uncontrollable rise of anomalous cells in brain tissue,and it consists of 2 types of cancers they are malignant and benign tumors.The benevolent BT does not affect the neighbouring healthy and normal tissue;however,the malignant could affect the adjacent brain tissues,which results in death.Initial recognition of BT is highly significant to protecting the patient’s life.Generally,the BT can be identified through the magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)scanning technique.But the radiotherapists are not offering effective tumor segmentation in MRI images because of the position and unequal shape of the tumor in the brain.Recently,ML has prevailed against standard image processing techniques.Several studies denote the superiority of machine learning(ML)techniques over standard techniques.Therefore,this study develops novel brain tumor detection and classification model using met heuristic optimization with machine learning(BTDC-MOML)model.To accomplish the detection of brain tumor effectively,a Computer-Aided Design(CAD)model using Machine Learning(ML)technique is proposed in this research manuscript.Initially,the input image pre-processing is performed using Gaborfiltering(GF)based noise removal,contrast enhancement,and skull stripping.Next,mayfly optimization with the Kapur’s thresholding based segmentation process takes place.For feature extraction proposes,local diagonal extreme patterns(LDEP)are exploited.At last,the Extreme Gradient Boosting(XGBoost)model can be used for the BT classification process.The accuracy analysis is performed in terms of Learning accuracy,and the validation accuracy is performed to determine the efficiency of the proposed research work.The experimental validation of the proposed model demonstrates its promising performance over other existing methods.

文摘Early identification and treatment of stroke can greatly improve patient outcomes and quality of life.Although clinical tests such as the Cincinnati Pre-hospital Stroke Scale(CPSS)and the Face Arm Speech Test(FAST)are commonly used for stroke screening,accurate administration is dependent on specialized training.In this study,we proposed a novel multimodal deep learning approach,based on the FAST,for assessing suspected stroke patients exhibiting symptoms such as limb weakness,facial paresis,and speech disorders in acute settings.We collected a dataset comprising videos and audio recordings of emergency room patients performing designated limb movements,facial expressions,and speech tests based on the FAST.We compared the constructed deep learning model,which was designed to process multi-modal datasets,with six prior models that achieved good action classification performance,including the I3D,SlowFast,X3D,TPN,TimeSformer,and MViT.We found that the findings of our deep learning model had a higher clinical value compared with the other approaches.Moreover,the multi-modal model outperformed its single-module variants,highlighting the benefit of utilizing multiple types of patient data,such as action videos and speech audio.These results indicate that a multi-modal deep learning model combined with the FAST could greatly improve the accuracy and sensitivity of early stroke identification of stroke,thus providing a practical and powerful tool for assessing stroke patients in an emergency clinical setting.

文摘Traditional data-driven fault diagnosis methods depend on expert experience to manually extract effective fault features of signals,which has certain limitations.Conversely,deep learning techniques have gained prominence as a central focus of research in the field of fault diagnosis by strong fault feature extraction ability and end-to-end fault diagnosis efficiency.Recently,utilizing the respective advantages of convolution neural network(CNN)and Transformer in local and global feature extraction,research on cooperating the two have demonstrated promise in the field of fault diagnosis.However,the cross-channel convolution mechanism in CNN and the self-attention calculations in Transformer contribute to excessive complexity in the cooperative model.This complexity results in high computational costs and limited industrial applicability.To tackle the above challenges,this paper proposes a lightweight CNN-Transformer named as SEFormer for rotating machinery fault diagnosis.First,a separable multiscale depthwise convolution block is designed to extract and integrate multiscale feature information from different channel dimensions of vibration signals.Then,an efficient self-attention block is developed to capture critical fine-grained features of the signal from a global perspective.Finally,experimental results on the planetary gearbox dataset and themotor roller bearing dataset prove that the proposed framework can balance the advantages of robustness,generalization and lightweight compared to recent state-of-the-art fault diagnosis models based on CNN and Transformer.This study presents a feasible strategy for developing a lightweight rotating machinery fault diagnosis framework aimed at economical deployment.
