The proposed fuzzy model reconstructs degradation data into a consistent downward trend based on mid- and short-term tendencies of the battery, alleviating abnormal variability and improving suitability for predictive modelling. In the second stage, uncertainty arising during the recursive prediction process of a standalone Transformer model was mitigated through the integration of a particle filter. This approach dynamically manages prediction errors using particles, effectively controlling cumulative errors and enhancing the stability and reliability of long-term predictions. This methodology can lead to extended battery life and increased operational reliability through accurate RUL prediction. The proposed methodology is validated through experiments using NASA and CALCE battery datasets, demonstrating superior prediction accuracy and stability compared to conventional approaches by systematically reducing uncertainties.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51053,"journal":{"name":"Expert Systems","volume":"42 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143554853","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}

The recently proposed <b>W</b>eightless, <b>I</b>nterval-<b>B</b>ased <b>A</b>pproach (WIBA) tackles these issues by relying on an ordering of the criteria (according to their relevance) instead of explicit weights and using interval scores to evaluate alternatives. Although originally proposed for selecting solutions of interest in the context of multi-objective and many objective optimization problems, it can be adapted to rank such solutions. However, the robustness of WIBA rankings has not been studied, and sensitivity analysis approaches based on perturbations of the weights cannot be applied. Furthermore, there is no friendly environment for exploring WIBA properties. This paper addresses these gaps by (1) introducing a novel local sensitivity analysis technique to explore how small perturbations in the order of criteria affect rankings, and (2) presenting WIBApp, a freely available visual software tool that implements WIBA features, including the proposed sensitivity analysis. Using a case study on the selection of technical universities, the paper first illustrates WIBA's flexibility and utility in real-world decision scenarios, enabling decision makers to effectively deal with uncertainty and complexity, and second shows how WIBApp simplifies data management, enhances analysis and facilitates comparisons among rankings. By advancing the theoretical foundations of WIBA and providing a practical implementation, this work contributes to providing decision makers with a robust framework for handling multi-criteria problems, enhancing the reliability of rankings and supporting informed decisions.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51053,"journal":{"name":"Expert Systems","volume":"42 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143554268","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}

Over the past few years, several progress have been made, and there are still some issues concerning processing time, accuracy, and computational complexity. The developed approaches detects the activities of anomalies like traffic rule violations, riots, fighting, and stampede, in addition, several anomalous entities such as abandoned luggage and weapons at the sensitive place automatically in time.

In recent days, there have been only a few devoted surveys associated with deep learning related video anomaly identification as the research domain is in its initial stages. In this review work, the abnormal behaviour analysis models using deep learning are reviewed in depth in for security applications. Based on the traditionally used abnormal behaviour analysis models in crowded scenes, we widely categorised the methods into classification using object tracking, classification using handcrafted extracted features, classification using non-contact heart rate variability and blood pressure, analysing motion patterns from the visual frames, and classification using face images. We also discuss the comparative analysis of the previous methods with respect to datasets, computational infrastructure, and performance measures for both qualitative and quantitative analysis.

However, the technology for autonomous driving has yet to reach a level of maturity that guarantees consistent performance, reliability, and safety, with several challenges remaining unresolved. This study specifically focuses on 2D image-based object detection methods, which offer several advantages over other modalities, such as cost-effectiveness and the ability to capture visual features like colour and texture that are not detectable by LiDAR. We provide a comprehensive survey of DL-based strategies for detecting vehicles and pedestrians using 2D images, analysing both one-stage and two-stage detection frameworks. Additionally, we review the most commonly used publicly available datasets in autonomous driving research and highlight their relevance to 2D detection tasks.

The proposed method facilitates the discovery of natural groupings and behaviours, which is crucial for effective coordination in complex environments. It identifies natural groupings within a set of features and detects the best clusters with similar behaviour in the data, overcoming the limitations of traditional state-of-the-art methods. The algorithm utilises a density peak clustering method to determine cluster centers and then extracts features from paths passing through these peak points (centers). These features are used to train the support vector machine (SVM) to predict the labels of other points. The proposed algorithm is enhanced using two key concepts: first, it employs Q-Generalised Extreme Value (Q-GEV) under power normalisation instead of traditional generalised extreme value distributions, thereby increasing modelling flexibility; second, it utilises the random vector functional link (RVFL) network rather than the SVM, which helps avoid overfitting and improves label prediction accuracy. The effectiveness of the proposed clustering algorithm is evaluated through various experiments, including those on UCI benchmark datasets and real-world data, demonstrating significant improvements across multiple performance metrics, including F1 measure, Jaccard index, purity, and accuracy, highlighting its capability in accurately identifying paths between similar clusters.

The extraction process for POIs consists of segmenting it into four sequential stages: collecting, segmentation, recognition and cleaning, each enhanced through fine-tuning on a proposed specialised digital scene dataset or via the development of tailored algorithms. Specifically, in the last stage, the application of large language model (LLM) is explored in the POI data cleaning field.
