The pump is considered a swash plate axial piston pump used in the excavator. Additionally, the outlet pressure data of the pump are extracted based on Amesim. The proposed transformer is a modified transformer, which allows fast fault detection by modifying the transformer and reducing the size of this model. The classes are normal and 6 fault types, and comparison models are long short-term memory (LSTM) and its family models, which are representative time series models. Unlike comparison models, the modified transformer has an average accuracy of 100% and a detection time of 0.00271 s, which is a slight difference of 0.00036 s from the single LSTM that showed the shortest operation time among the models. We also perform fault detection by changing data points and show a stable high accuracy of 99.93% for all data points of 500, 1,000, and 1,500 without any optimization. Various external noises are added because excavators are construction equipment used in rough terrain. Therefore, we conduct detection performance analysis at different additional noise levels with Gaussian noise with zero mean. As a result, we confirm that the modified transformer showed a high detection accuracy of over 98.08% up to standard deviation 4, where data characteristics were well maintained, unlike other time series models. Through the various analyses above, we confirm that fast and accurate fault detection is possible based on the modified transformer.","PeriodicalId":13079,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Access","volume":"12 ","pages":"145795-145808"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10704636","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142408943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One such measure involves attributing malware to its respective Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) group, which serves several purposes, two of the most important ones are: aiding in incident response and facilitating legal recourse.

These endeavors have leveraged a variety of machine learning and deep learning techniques, alongside diverse features extracted from malware binary files, to develop attribution systems. Despite these advancements, the field continues to beckon further investigation to enhance attribution methodologies. The basis of developing an effective attribution systems is to benefit from a rich dataset. Previous studies in this domain have meticulously detailed the process of model training and evaluation using distinct datasets, each characterized by unique strengths, weaknesses, and varying number of samples. In this paper, we scrutinize previous datasets from several perspectives while focusing on analyzing our dataset, which we claim is the most comprehensive in the realm of malware attribution. This dataset encompasses 64,440 malware samples attributed to 22 APT groups and spans a minimum of 40 malware families. The samples in the dataset span the years 2020 to 2024, and their developer APT groups originate from Russia, South Korea, China, USA, Nigeria, North Korea, Pakistan and Belarus.

Alongside the high data rates offered by this band, the huge bandwidth can be shared more generously across multiple users with hopes of reducing network congestion. With the recent improvements being made on the electronics side such as high-speed data converters and high-frequency oscillators, several testing platforms for experimental THz communication have been recently developed. However, these are mostly device technology demonstrators, channel sounders, or physical-layer testbeds, which do not support real-time digital signal processing (DSP). Such platforms have supported the large body of THz research focused on studying the channel or developing physical layer solutions. However, the lack of real-time DSP capabilities prevents the testing of upper networking protocols, on which the research community is only now starting to focus. While real-time networking platforms, namely, software-defined radio (SDR) platforms, developed for lower frequency systems could be utilized, their very low bandwidth misses the point of moving to the sub-THz and THz bands. To fill the gap, in this paper, we design an SDR platform able to process multi-GHz of baseband bandwidth in real-time by leveraging the state of the art in radio-frequency systems on chip (RFSoC), a custom frequency-multiplexing analog network and a multi-phase implementation of an orthogonal frequency-division modulation (OFDM) physical layer. As an instantiation of the platform, we demonstrate a real-time link at 135 GHz with 8 GHz of bandwidth supporting a bit-rate of 33 Gbps when frequency-multiplexing four 2-GHz-wide channels, each with 64-sub-carrier OFDM. Finally, we identify immediate next steps and cross-layer challenges foreseen when implementing wireless communication and sensing systems at frequencies above 100 GHz.","PeriodicalId":13079,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Access","volume":"12 ","pages":"146315-146327"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10704668","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142447016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent advancements in deep learning have driven increased interest in end-to-end models, which is the central focus of this review.

To address these issues, we propose an agricultural pest classification model based on a multi-scale linear attention mechanism and Focal Loss. This model employs a multi-scale linear attention module to capture local features at various scales, as well as the long-distance dependencies and global relationships among these local features. It utilizes an attention mechanism with linear time complexity to ensure computational efficiency. In addition, we use the Focal Loss function to alleviate the impact of sample imbalance in the dataset and explore the effects of various data augmentation techniques on the model’s generalization ability. Experimental results demonstrate that our model performs excellently across datasets of different scales.","PeriodicalId":13079,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Access","volume":"12 ","pages":"146610-146619"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10704656","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142447231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, information about activities in the activity-on-arc network was represented in the structure matrix (SM), and a data storage format and a coordinate-coded structure were constructed. Then, a chromosome correction operator and serial schedule generation scheme were designed based on the SM. Further, an adaptive probability operator, along with its related similar-uniform crossover operator and hybrid mutation operator, were designed based on the level of population diversity. Finally, Python programs were written in combination with a case study, and the efficiency of the algorithm was statistically analyzed from two aspects: data formats, and operators. SM-GA enhances the running efficiency by approximately 36 times compared to the genetic algorithm using a traditional data format. Compared to the genetic algorithm using traditional crossover and mutation operators, SM-GA improves the optimization efficiency by approximately four times.
