An efficient algorithm is developed that, given data generated by an undisclosed simple causal schema, recovers the structure of that schema, as well as the directionality of all links that are uniquely orientable. A simple schema is represented by a directed acyclic graph (dag) where every pair of nodes with a common direct child have no common ancestor nor is one an ancestor of the other.

Knowledge‐level models of expert reasoning represent an important output of the knowledge‐acquisition process, since they describe, in a conceptual and implementation‐independent fashion, the different roles and types of knowledge required for a problem‐solving task. We argue that a formalization of such models enhances knowledge acquisition, and in particular the conceptualization phase, by rendering currently informal concepts and intuitions more precise, thus also contributing to a more solid basis for KBS design, validation, and maintenance. A framework is constructed for the formal specification of knowledge‐level models. The proposed formalism, called <jats:sc>ml<jats:sup>2</jats:sup></jats:sc>, has been inspired by the <jats:sc>kads</jats:sc> methodology for KBS development, and aims at expressing different roles and types of knowledge components through employing an order‐sorted logic, a modular structuring of theories, and a meta‐level organization of knowledge, comprising “enlarged” reflection rules and a “meaningful” naming relation.

To address this issue, the proposed work introduces a novel approach for efficient cloud service provisioning by utilizing container-based cloud service brokerage and implementing service arbitrage across various cloud providers. A microservice architecture-based service discovery mechanism is developed which incorporates a service registry for tracking newly available services from the providers. Docker containers are employed to orchestrate the services, which ensures streamlined management and deployment of offered services. Further, the proposed system recommends and evaluates the services to the cloud users based on probability matrices, mapping matrices, and user feedback.

Additional information on the degree of acceptance or rejection contains such allocated probabilities. More conveniently, we create a comprehensive type of PDHFS called interval-valued PDHFS (IVPDHFS) to interpret the probability data that exist in the hesitancy. This study describes several basic operating laws by stressing the advantages and enriching the utility of IVPDHFS in MAGDM. To aggregate IVPDHF information in MAGDM problems and extend its applications, we present the Muirhead mean (MM) operator of IVPDHFSs and study some attractive properties of the suggested operator. Besides that, in order to compute attribute weights, a new organizational framework is designed by using partial knowledge of the decision makers (DMs). Subsequently, a standardized technique with the suggested operator for MAGDM is introduced, and the realistic usage of the operator is illustrated by the use of a problem of regenerative energy source selection.

Conventional methods such as technical analysis (based on historical market data) and fundamental analysis (based on economic variables) suffer from data noise, processing delays, and insufficient data. To make predictions more accurate, faster, and able to handle more data, the suggested method combines several steps: extracting important information, labeling it, choosing the best features, merging different models, and fine-tuning the model settings. Based on the price data, this approach initially generates 5 labels with a new labeling method based on the percentage of average price changes in several days and generates signals (hold, buy, sell, strong sell, and strong buy). Thereafter, it extracts 768 features from technical studies using the TA-Lib library and from an authoritative site. The TLBOA algorithm, which does not get stuck in the local optimum with two updates, was used to select and reduce features to 15 to avoid overfitting. A variety of ML models, including support vector machine and Naive Bayes, use these selected features for training. By using the evolutionary DE algorithm to optimize the XGBoost meta-parameters, we increased the accuracy by 1%–4%.

It has revolutionized various domains, from paper drafting to video editing. However, some individuals exploit AI to create deceptive content, such as fake videos, audios, and images, to mislead others. To address this, researchers and large corporations have proposed solutions for detecting fake content using classical deep learning models. However, these models often suffer from a large number of trainable parameters, which leads to large model sizes and, consequently, computational intensive. To overcome these limitations, we propose various hybrid classical–quantum models that use a classical pre-trained model as a front-end feature extractor, followed by a quantum-based LSTM network, that is, QLSTM. These pre-trained models are based on the ResNet architecture, such as ResNet34, 50, and 101. We have compared the performance of the proposed models with their classical counterparts. These proposed models combine the strengths of classical and quantum systems for the detection of deepfake video (without audio). Our results indicate that the proposed models significantly reduce the number of trainable parameters, as well as quantum long short-term memory (QLSTM) parameters, which leads to a smaller model size than the classical models. Despite the reduced parameter, the performance of the proposed models is either superior to or comparable with that of their classical equivalent. The proposed hybrid quantum models, that is, ResNet34-QLSTM, ResNet50-QLSTM, and ResNet101-QLSTM, achieve a reduction of approximately 1.50%, 4.59%, and 5.24% in total trainable parameters compared to their equivalent classical models, respectively. Additionally, QLSTM linked with the proposed models reduces its trainable parameters by 99.02%, 99.16%, and 99.55%, respectively, compared to equivalent classical LSTM. This significant reduction highlights the efficiency of the quantum-based network in terms of resource usage. The trained model sizes of the proposed models are 81.35, 88.06, and 162.79, and their equivalent classical models are 82.59, 92.28, and 171.76 in MB, respectively.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":14089,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Intelligent Systems","volume":"2025 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/int/3990069","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144492724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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}
