Currently, this approach faces the challenge of KPI metrics redundancy. Although existing studies have used feature selection methods to address this issue, the optimal number of KPI metrics remains difficult to determine. Furthermore, existing failure prediction models have not achieved satisfactory performance. To address the aforementioned challenges, we propose a failure prediction method, MOFSDF, which leverages multi-objective optimization and the deep forest model. The method aims to achieve optimal failure prediction performance with the fewest KPI metrics. MOFSDF frames the selection of KPI metrics as a multi-objective optimization problem, where the objective is to minimize the number of KPI metrics while simultaneously maximizing the model’s performance. This optimization process is achieved through the NSGA-III algorithm. Furthermore, the integration of the deep forest model guarantees both the robustness and generalization capabilities of the failure prediction model. We use the ZTE dataset for the empirical study.

Advanced encoder–decoder architectures, utilizing satellite remote sensing data, are now primary techniques for this forecasting task. However, these methods encounter significant limitations, particularly as forecast horizons extend. In such scenarios, predictions often exhibit spatial texture degradation and distortions in radiation intensity. This significantly reduces precision and reliability, making it difficult to meet the demands of high-precision applications. To address these limitations, this paper proposes GAN-Solar, a novel quality optimization model for short-term solar radiation forecasting based on Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). GAN-Solar utilizes an ED-AttUNet model, enhanced with conditional inputs, as its generator. A discriminator, incorporating residual structures, progressive downsampling, and conditional information, is employed to distinguish between real and generated forecasts. This adversarial process, guided by a hybrid loss function and a discriminator treated as a learnable objective function, refines the forecast quality. Experimental results on summer solar radiation data demonstrate that GAN-Solar significantly improves forecast quality. It reduces the Root Mean Square Error by approximately 3.2% and increases the Structural Similarity Index from 0.84 to 0.87 when compared to the baseline ED-AttUNet model. The proposed method effectively mitigates issues of texture degradation and intensity distortion, leading to clearer and more accurate solar radiation predictions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100702,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Intelligent Networks","volume":"6 ","pages":"Pages 89-96"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144771588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dynamic resource awareness algorithms are introduced to construct an adaptive migration model based on network function virtualization. Based on the Multi-Armed Bandit (MAB) algorithm, a dynamic routing model based on MAB is constructed by using a greedy algorithm to search for random actions. When the nodes were 200 and 500, the migration costs of the adaptive migration model based on network function virtualization were 1000 and 3000, respectively. The average migration was 350 and 900 respectively, while destination nodes' average resource occupancy rates were 52 % and 58 %, respectively. When the path failure rates were 4 % and 20 %, the algorithm's safe path rates were 96.25 % and 92.75 %. For fixed and mobile nodes, the link load rate of the dynamic routing model based on the MAB algorithm was low and the load growth was relatively stable. This dynamic routing model's link delay is significantly less than the Dijkstra algorithm.
