In this paper, we propose a three-dimensional CT image lung nodule detection method based on parallel pooling and dense blocks, which includes two parts, i.e., candidate nodule extraction and false positive suppression. First, a dense U-shaped backbone network with parallel pooling is proposed to obtain the candidate nodule probability map. The parallel pooling structure uses multiple pooling operations for downsampling to capture spatial information comprehensively and address the problem of information loss resulting from maximum and average pooling in the shallow layers. Then, a parasitic network with parallel pooling, dense blocks, and attention modules is designed to suppress false positive nodules. The parasitic network takes the multiscale feature maps of the backbone network as the input. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method significantly improves the accuracy of lung nodule detection, achieving a CPM score of 0.91, which outperforms many existing methods.","PeriodicalId":507857,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Intelligent Systems","volume":"118 33","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139135323","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}

This disease affects the spinal cord, more specifically, the lower motor neurons (LMNs) and the upper motor neurons (UMNs) inside the brain along with their networks. Various solutions have been developed to predict ALS. Some of these solutions were implemented using different deep-learning methods (DLMs). Nevertheless, this disease is considered a tough task and a huge challenge. This article proposes a reliable model to predict ALS disease based on a deep-learning tool (DLT). The developed DLT is designed using a UNET architecture. The proposed approach is evaluated for different performance quantities on a dataset and provides promising results. An average obtained accuracy ranged between 82% and 87% with around 86% of the F-score. The obtained outcomes can open the door to applying DLMs to predict and identify ALS disease.","PeriodicalId":507857,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Intelligent Systems","volume":"121 16","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139134781","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}

In practical applications, many hardware issues, such as power transistor shutdown and loss, are the main reasons that affect the inverter conversion efficiency. On the other hand, the working frequency of WPT systems ranges from hundreds of kHz to a few MHz, and traditional voltage and current phasor estimation requires a very high sampling rate which is difficult to achieve. To overcome these limitations, this paper introduces a phase-shifting full bridge inverter using a zero-voltage switching (ZVS) soft switching technology to optimize the conversion efficiency of the inverter. Meanwhile, apparent power is introduced to detect the operating frequency and phase angle. Combined with an FPGA soft switching control strategy, this approach allows for the quick adjustment of the driving pulse of MOS transistors, as well as the voltage and current at the transmitting end, to a completely symmetrical state in real-time, effectively suppressing frequency offset and achieving efficient frequency tracking control and maximum efficiency tracking (MET) control of the WPT system. Through simulation and experiments, the ZVS soft switching technology has been achieved with the inverter control strategy, leading to improved conversion efficiency. The frequency offset that can be corrected can reach 0.1 Hz using the apparent power detection method, and the maximum transfer efficiency of the WPT system can reach 91%.","PeriodicalId":507857,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Intelligent Systems","volume":"78 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139155024","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}

Among these robotic systems, human-machine dialogue systems are particularly noteworthy as they deliver both auditory and visual services to users, effectively bridging the communication gap between humans and machines. Despite their utility, the majority of existing approaches to these systems primarily concentrate on augmenting the logical coherence of the system’s responses, inadvertently neglecting the significance of user emotions in shaping a comprehensive communication experience. To tackle this shortcoming, we propose the development of an innovative human-machine dialogue system that is both intelligent and emotionally sensitive, employing multimodal generation techniques. This system is architecturally comprised of three components: (1) data collection and processing, responsible for gathering and preparing relevant information, (2) a dialogue engine, which generates contextually appropriate responses, and (3) an interaction module, responsible for facilitating the communication interface between users and the system. To validate our proposed approach, we have constructed a prototype system and conducted an evaluation of the performance of the core dialogue engine by utilizing an open dataset. The results of our study indicate that our system demonstrates a remarkable level of multimodal generation response, ultimately offering a more human-like dialogue experience.","PeriodicalId":507857,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Intelligent Systems","volume":"15 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139161569","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}

In response to this phenomenon, this article proposes a random multiproduct U-shaped mixed-flow incomplete disassembly line balancing problem (MUPDLBP). MUPDLBP introduces a mixed disassembly method for multiple products and incomplete disassembly method into the traditional DLBP, while considering the characteristics of U-shaped disassembly lines and the uncertainty of the disassembly process. First, mixed-flow disassembly can improve the efficiency of disassembly lines, reducing factory construction and maintenance costs. Second, by utilizing the characteristics of incomplete disassembly to reduce the number of dismantled components and the flexibility and efficiency of U-shaped disassembly lines in allocating disassembly tasks, further improvement in disassembly efficiency can be achieved. In addition, this paper also addresses the characteristics of EOL products with heavy weight and high rigidity. While retaining the basic settings of MUPDLBP, the stability of the assembly during the disassembly process is considered, and a new problem called MUPDLBP_S, which takes into account the disassembly stability, is further proposed. The corresponding mathematical model is provided. To obtain high-quality disassembly plans, a new and improved algorithm called INSGAII is proposed. The INSGAII algorithm uses the initialization method based on Monte Carlo tree simulation (MCTI) and the Group Global Crowd Degree Comparison (GCDC) operator to replace the initialization method and crowding distance comparison operator in the NSGAII algorithm, effectively improving the coverage of the initial population individuals in the entire solution space and the evenness and spread of the Pareto front. Finally, INSGAII’s effectiveness has been affirmed by tackling both current disassembly line balancing problems and the proposed MUPDLBP and MUPDLBP_S. Importantly, INSGAII outshines six comparison algorithms with a top rank of 1 in the Friedman test, highlighting its superior performance.","PeriodicalId":507857,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Intelligent Systems","volume":"31 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139172893","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}

Gulzar, Adnan Shakoor","doi":"10.1155/2023/6957327","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2023/6957327","url":null,"abstract":"This article discusses issues with disturbance rejection and periodic signal tracking in a specific type of time-varying delay nonlinear systems. The proposed approach, known as the modified repetitive controller (MRC) scheme, utilizes an equivalent-input-disturbance (EID) estimator to enhance the system’s performance. It effectively improves the system’s ability to reject both aperiodic and periodic unknown disturbances, while also achieving accurate tracking of periodic reference signals. A T-S fuzzy model has been used to roughly represent the system nonlinearity. Additionally, a fuzzy state observer based on an adaptive periodic event-triggered mechanism (APETM-FSO) has been used to decrease data transfer, energy use, and communication resource utilization. The APETM is able to identify the occurrence of an event by surpassing a predetermined threshold with the error signal, thanks to the designed adaptive event triggering condition. Transmission of the current data only takes place when the event happens, while data can remain unchanged using a zero-order hold if the event does not occur. In addition to, controller parameters are tuned using a particle swarm optimization (PSO) approach. Hence, T-S fuzzy model-based EID, MRC, FSO-APETM, and PSO construct the overall system. In order to ensure the asymptotic stability of the entire system in the presence of unknown disturbances, the article establishes sufficient conditions using the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional stability theory and linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). These conditions are derived to guarantee the desired stability properties of the system. To demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed scheme, simulation results with comparative study are presented. The proposed controller has achieved better tracking performance with less tracking error with maximum value of 0.05. In addition, the suggested APETM has minimum triggering times which is 34 as comparison with PETM which is 40 times, and hence, APETM is more effective than PETM in reducing data transmission frequency and using less communication resources overall.","PeriodicalId":507857,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Intelligent Systems","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139232927","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}

To solve this problem, we propose a novel certificateless public auditing for medical data in the cloud (CPAMD), which can achieve efficient batch auditing without complicated certificate management and key escrow. Specifically, in our CPAMD, a new secure certificateless signature method is designed to generate tamper-proof data block tags; a manageable delegated data outsourcing mechanism is presented to reduce the burden of data maintenance on patients and achieve auditability of outsourcing behavior; and a privacy-preserving augmented verification strategy is proposed to provide comprehensive auditing of both medical data and its source information without compromising privacy.

MSDRSN combines the ability of stacking in improving prediction accuracy and the advantages of deep residual shrinkage network (DRSN) in denoising. First, cumulative sum (CUSUM) from statistics is used to divide the full life cycle of the rolling bearings and discover the points of failure.

This limitation, in turn, impacts the detection accuracy of intrusion detection systems. To address this issue and further enhance detection accuracy, this paper proposes an algorithm called the Fourier Neural Network (FNN). The core of FNN consists of a Deep Fourier Neural Network Block (DFNNB), which is composed of a Hadamard Neural Network (HNN) and a Fourier Neural Network Layer (FNNL). In a DFNNB, the HNN is responsible for sampling the network intrusion data samples in different time domain spaces. The FNNL, on the other hand, performs a Fourier transform on the samples outputted by the HNN and maps them to the frequency domain space, followed by a filtering process. Finally, the data processed by filtering are transformed back to the time domain space for subsequent feature extraction work by the DFNNB. Additionally, to enhance the algorithm’s detection accuracy and filter out noise signals, this paper also introduces a High-energy Filtering Process (HFP), which eliminates noise signals from the data signal and reduces interference on the final detection result. Due to the ability of FNN to process network data in both the time domain space and the frequency domain space, it possesses a stronger capability in expressing data features. Finally, this paper conducts performance evaluations on the KDD Cup99, NSL-KDD, UNSW-NB15, and CICIDS2017 datasets. The results demonstrate that the proposed FNN-based IDS model achieves higher detection rates, lower false alarm rates, and better detection performance than classical deep learning and machine learning methods.","PeriodicalId":507857,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Intelligent Systems","volume":"37 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139269132","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}
