This study examines the effectiveness of contemporary machine learning methods in identifying fraudulent credit card transactions, addressing the prevalent issue of class imbalance in fraud datasets (284,807 transactions; only 0.17% fraudulent). Utilizing the publicly accessible Kaggle Credit Card Fraud dataset, we employed and evaluated eight supervised learning models—logistic regression, support vector machine, random forest, XGBoost, gradient boosting machine (GBM), voting classifier, artificial neural network (ANN), and convolutional neural network (CNN). SMOTE (synthetic minority over-sampling technique) was applied to address class imbalance. Each model was evaluated on Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1-score, and ROC-AUC. The voting classifier (XGBoost + GBM + random forest) achieved the highest overall performance with Accuracy = 99.12%, Precision = 97.10%, Recall = 89.89%, F1-score = 93.37%, and ROC-AUC = 0.98. XGBoost independently delivered competitive results with ROC-AUC = 0.97 and Recall = 87.65%, demonstrating its strength in handling imbalanced data. SMOTE markedly enhanced detection rates by equilibrating the dataset and facilitating more representative learning.

However, due to the lack of current research on credit risk evaluation of FF&R, the existing credit default risk early warning models of FF&Rs mostly follow the credit default risk early warning model of farmers and small and micro enterprises. Therefore, the construction of credit default risk early warning model of FF&R is both a theoretical problem to be solved and of great practical significance. This paper classifies FF&Rs into three types of nondefault, low default and high default by using hierarchical clustering, so as to obtain a more realistic description of default conditions of FF&Rs. At the same time, the classification of three default states is taken as the input layer of the neural network, and the number of selected indicators of FF&Rs is taken as the output layer to construct the default risk warning model of FF&R neural network, thus improving the fitting efficiency of the neural network and the accuracy of default prediction state, timely warning and preventing the further deterioration of the default situation of FF&R. Empirical evidence shows that the hierarchical clustering-neural network model constructed in this paper achieves a default prediction accuracy of 97.9% on the FF&Rs dataset.

To overcome these limitations, an improved interacting multiple model smooth variable structure filter algorithm is proposed in this paper. The novelty of our work lies in the deep integration of an improved smooth variable structure filter (ISVSF) with the interacting multiple model (IMM) framework. Based on sliding mode control and variable structure theory, the smooth variable structure filter (SVSF) confines state estimates within a bounded region around the true state trajectory, offering enhanced robustness to model uncertainties compared to the Kalman filter. Building on SVSF, the proposed ISVSF incorporates a time-varying smooth subspace with a smooth saturation function for gain calculation and uses Bayesian theory to derive the covariance matrix, thereby improving filtering stability and convergence. The IMM algorithm, recognized as an effective approach for state estimation in systems with variable structures and parameters, helps mitigate navigation parameter errors induced by time-varying noise. The actual field experiments show that the proposed IMM-ISVSF algorithm can improve the estimation accuracy of attitude, velocity and position of the integrated navigation system compared with the smooth variable structure filter and the interactive multimodel extended Kalman filter.</p>","PeriodicalId":46238,"journal":{"name":"AUTOMATIC CONTROL AND COMPUTER SCIENCES","volume":"60 2","pages":"246 - 259"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149023261","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}

However, traditional routing protocols like AODV and OLSR face significant challenges, including increased latency, inefficient route discovery, and poor adaptability to frequent topology changes. This paper introduces the Priority-Based Routing Optimization Protocol (APBROP), a novel hybrid routing framework that addresses these limitations through a combination of innovative techniques. APBROP employs a dynamic multimetric weighting mechanism that integrates; hop count, bandwidth, and link stability to ensure optimal route selection. It incorporates a priority-based route discovery system to prioritize critical data traffic to reduce network congestion and extend node lifetimes. Additionally, APBROP leverages a cluster-assisted reactive-proactive mechanism, which combines intracluster proactive routing with intercluster reactive routing, to enhance scalability and reduce control overhead. To improve resilience, the protocol includes a dynamic failure recovery system that preemptively detects and mitigates route failures using multipath redundancy. Simulation results demonstrate that APBROP significantly outperforms existing protocols in terms of packet delivery ratio, end-to-end delay, throughput and scalability, particularly in disaster-prone and resource-constrained environments. These results establish APBROP as a robust, adaptable, and setting a new benchmark for MANET routing protocols.</p>","PeriodicalId":46238,"journal":{"name":"AUTOMATIC CONTROL AND COMPUTER SCIENCES","volume":"60 2","pages":"208 - 219"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149023039","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}

Addressing this gap, our research endeavours to fill this void by conducting a thorough investigation and implementation of spatial and temporal feature-based methodologies on a newly created dataset. We utilized Mediapipe to extract spatial features. These features were then seamlessly integrated into a sequence-based gated recurrent unit (GRU) model, ensuring a robust framework for analysis. For the temporal dimension, we adopted a sophisticated sliding window approach, facilitating the training of three distinct convolutional neural network (CNN) models on a subset encompassing 21 dynamically bi-handed signed words.

However, in outdoor scenes, on the one hand, due to the unclear environmental characteristics, the laser point cloud pairing error is large. On the other hand, the nonlinear calculation of the extended Kalman filter has accumulated errors, resulting in large positioning errors for robots and low map construction accuracy. Two measures have been taken to improve the reliability of robot spatial positioning. Firstly, based on the laser odometer in LiDAR SLAM, three sensors, namely photoelectric encoded odometry, GPS (Global Positioning System), and IMU (inertial measurement unit), are integrated to improve the reliability of robot spatial positioning. Secondly, a multisensor fusion extended Kalman filtering algorithm based on error state iteration calculation is proposed to further compress the error space. Firstly, a kinematic model of the wheeled mobile robot was constructed, along with spatial measurement and positioning models for four sensors: photoelectric odometry, GPS (Global Positioning System), IMU (inertial measurement unit), and IMU. Secondly, based on the IMU spatial positioning error state iterative calculation model, the extended Kalman filter fusion algorithm is adopted to predict and iteratively update the spatial pose prediction data of the four sensors, effectively improving the spatial positioning accuracy of the robot. Finally, a physical experimental platform for unmanned wheelchair LiDAR SLAM was established, and experimental verification was carried out on the campus environment. The results showed that the robot trajectory positioning error of the LiDAR SLAM optimized based on the proposed error iterative multisensor fusion extended Kalman filter algorithm was only 0.040 m, which reduced the trajectory error by 0.017 m compared to other fusion methods and improved the accuracy by 29.82%.
