Therefore, this paper proposes a new model for the feature extraction and recognition of dance motor imagery EEG, which makes full use of the advantage of anti-aliasing filter based on whale parameter optimization method. The anti-aliasing filter is used for preprocessing, and the filtered signal is extracted by two-dimensional empirical wavelet transform. The extracted feature is input to the robust support matrix machine to complete pattern recognition. In pattern recognition process, an improved whale algorithm is used to dynamically adjust the optimal parameters of individual subjects. Experiments are carried out on two public data sets to verify that anti-aliasing filter-based preprocessing can improve signal feature discrimination. The improved whale algorithm can find the optimal parameters of robust support matrix machine classification for individuals. This presented method can improve the recognition rate of dance motion image. Compared with other advanced methods, the proposed method requires less samples and computing resources, and it is suitable for the practical application of brain-computer interface.","PeriodicalId":50636,"journal":{"name":"Computer Science and Information Systems","volume":"20 1","pages":"1849-1868"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68464333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, machine learning has serious security and privacy issues. BRFD is a smart Receiver Forwarding Decision solution based on Bayesian theory for Named Data Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (NDN-VANET). In BRFD, every vehicle that received an interest packet is required to make a forwarding decision according to the collected network status information. And then decides whether it will forward the received interest packet or not. Therefore, the privacy information of a vehicle can be revealed to other vehicles during information exchange of the network status. In this paper, a Privacy-Aware intelligent forwarding solution PABRFD is proposed by integrating Homomorphic Encryption (HE) into the improved BRFD. In PABRFD, a secure Bayesian classifier is used to resolve the security and privacy issues of information exchanged among vehicle nodes. We informally prove that this new scheme can satisfy security requirements and we implement our solution based on HE standard libraries CKKS and BFV. The experimental results show that PABRFD can satisfy our expected performance requirements.","PeriodicalId":50636,"journal":{"name":"Computer Science and Information Systems","volume":"2012 1","pages":"1-24"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73786564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since agents? performance and skills may vary from task to task, the decisions about individual agent-task assignment will determine the overall performance of the coalition. Maximising the efficiency of the one-on-one assignment of tasks to agents corresponds to the conventional linear sum assignment problem, which considers efficiency as the sum of the costs or benefits of individual agent-task assignments obtained by the coalition as a whole. This approach may be unfair since it does not explicitly consider fairness and, thus, is unsuitable for individually rational agents? coalitions. In this paper, we propose two new assignment models that balance efficiency and fairness in task assignment and study the utilitarian, egalitarian, and Nash social welfare for task assignment in individually rational agents? coalitions. Since fairness is a relatively abstract term that can be difficult to quantify, we propose three new fairness measures based on equity and equality and use them to compare the newly proposed models. Through functional examples, we show that a reasonable trade-off between efficiency and fairness in task assignment is possible through the use of the proposed models.","PeriodicalId":50636,"journal":{"name":"Computer Science and Information Systems","volume":"157 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135446191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent research, however, lacks theoretical analysis to guarantee the faithfulness of explanations and could produce an unreliable explanation. In order to explain ResNets predictions, we suggest a provably faithful explanation for ResNet using a surrogate explainable model, a neural ordinary differential equation network (Neural ODE). First, ResNets are proved to converge to a Neural ODE and the Neural ODE is regarded as a surrogate model to explain the decision-making attribution of the ResNets. And then the decision feature and the explanation map of inputs belonging to the target class for Neural ODE are generated via the symplectic adjoint method. Finally, we prove that the explanations of Neural ODE can be sufficiently approximate to ResNet. Experiments show that the proposed explanation method has higher faithfulness with lower computational cost than other explanation approaches and it is effective for troubleshooting and optimizing a model by the explanation.","PeriodicalId":50636,"journal":{"name":"Computer Science and Information Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136209985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are internet-based online communities where users can ask for help and find the solution to a problem. On online discussion forums, a new user becomes exhausted from reading the significant number of replies in a discussion. An automated discussion thread summarizing system (DTS) is necessary to create a candid view of the entire discussion of a query. Most of the previous approaches for automated DTS use the continuous bag of words (CBOW) model as a sentence embedding tool, which is poor at capturing the overall meaning of the sentence and is unable to grasp word dependency. To overcome this limitation, we introduce the LSTM Auto-encoder as a sentence embedding technique to improve the per formance of DTS. The empirical result in the context of average precision, recall, and F-measure of the proposed approach with respect to ROGUE-1 and ROUGE-2 of two standard experimental datasets proves the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach and outperforms the state-of-the-art CBOW model in sentence embedding tasks by boosting the performance of the automated DTS model.","PeriodicalId":50636,"journal":{"name":"Computer Science and Information Systems","volume":"20 1","pages":"1367-1387"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68464284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
