Nevertheless, the cuckoo search algorithm still suffers from an imbalance between exploration and exploitation as well as a tendency to fall into local optimization. In this paper, we propose a new hybrid cuckoo search algorithm (LHCS) based on linear decreasing of populations, and in order to optimize the local search of the algorithm and make the algorithm converge quickly, we mix the solution updating strategy of the Grey Yours sincerely, wolf optimizer (GWO) and use the linear decreasing rule to adjust the calling ratio of the strategy in order to balance the global exploration and the local exploitation; Second, the addition of a specular reflection learning strategy enhances the algorithm's ability to jump out of local optima; Finally, the convergence ability of the algorithm on different intervals and the adaptive ability of population diversity are improved using a population linear decreasing strategy. The experimental results on 29 benchmark functions from the CEC2017 test set show that the LHCS algorithm has significant superiority and stability over other algorithms when the quality of all solutions is considered together. In order to further verify the performance of the proposed algorithm in this paper, we applied the algorithm to engineering problems, functional tests, and Wilcoxon test results show that the comprehensive performance of the LHCS algorithm outperforms the other 14 state-of-the-art algorithms. In several engineering optimization problems, the practicality and effectiveness of the LHCS algorithm are verified, and the design cost can be greatly reduced by applying it to real engineering problems.</p>","PeriodicalId":51327,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Machine Learning and Cybernetics","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141551462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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, how the representations evolve with the gradient-based optimization remains unknown. Here we leverage the intrinsic dimension of the representations to study the learning dynamics and find that the training process undergoes a phase transition from expansion to compression under disparate training regimes. Surprisingly, this phenomenon is ubiquitous across a wide variety of model architectures, optimizers, and data sets. We demonstrate that the variation in the intrinsic dimension is consistent with the complexity of the learned hypothesis, which can be quantitatively assessed by the critical sample ratio that is rooted in adversarial robustness. Meanwhile, we mathematically show that this phenomenon can be analyzed in terms of the mutable correlation between neurons. Although the evoked activities obey a power-law decaying rule in biological circuits, we identify that the power-law exponent of the representations in deep neural networks predicted adversarial robustness well only at the end of the training but not during the training process. These results together suggest that deep neural networks are prone to producing robust representations by adaptively eliminating or retaining redundancies.

GLNDU utilizes Generalized Learning Vector Quantization (GLVQ) for computing the centroids of positive and negative instances. It also utilizes the concept of Natural Nearest Neighbors to identify majority-class instances in the overlapping region of the centroids of minority-class instances.

We conduct extensive experiments on 29 publicly available datasets, evaluating the performance using AUC and G_mean values.

Copy-move forgery is widely practiced thus, sprang up as a prevalent form of image manipulation among different types of forgeries. In this counterfeiting process, a region of an image is copied and pasted into different parts of the same image to hide or replicate the same objects. As copy-move forgery is hard to detect and localize, a swift and efficacious detection scheme based on keypoint detection is introduced. Especially the localization of forged areas becomes more difficult when the forged image is subjected to different post-processing attacks and geometrical attacks. In this paper, a robust, translation-invariant, and efficient copy-move forgery detection technique has been introduced. To achieve this goal, we developed an AKAZE-driven keypoint-based forgery detection technique. AKAZE is applied to the LL sub-band of the SWT-transformed image to extract translation invariant features, rather than extracting them directly from the original image. We then use the DBSCAN clustering algorithm and a uniform quantizer on each cluster to form group pairs based on their feature descriptor values. To mitigate false positives, keypoint pairs are separated by a distance greater than a predefined shift vector distance. This process forms a collection of keypoints within each cluster by leveraging their similarities in feature descriptors. Our clustering-based similarity-matching algorithm effectively locates the forged region. To assess the proposed scheme we deploy it on different datasets with post-processing attacks ranging from blurring, color reduction, contrast adjustment, brightness change, and noise addition. Even our method successfully withstands geometrical manipulations like rotation, skewing, and different affine transform attacks. Visual outcomes, numerical results, and comparative analysis show that the proposed model accurately detects the forged area with fewer false positives and is more computationally efficient than other methods.</p>","PeriodicalId":51327,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Machine Learning and Cybernetics","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141551463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This consequently introduces several new challenges in integrating the high dimensional, distinct, and heterogeneous views under multi-view learning (MVL) framework. The multiset canonical correlation analysis (MCCA) is a popular subspace learning technique in MVL, which forms a common latent space by maximizing the pairwise correlation across all the views. However, MCCA does not utilize the class label information of the objects and is unable to handle the data non-linearity. Although there exist a few supervised extensions of MCCA, they lack productive use of intra-view and inter-view consistency and/or inconsistency information while using the class label. In this regard, a supervised subspace learning method, termed as class-structure preserving multi-view correlated discriminant analysis (CSP-MvCDA), is proposed by judiciously integrating the merits of MCCA, linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and a locality preserving norm. The proposed method jointly optimizes the inter-set correlation across all the views and intra-set discrimination in each view to obtain a common discriminative latent space, where the shared and complementary information across multiple views is exploited. The locality preserving norm with prior class labels helps to preserve the local class-structure of the data, while the LDA maintains its global class-structure. To show the effectiveness of the proposed method, several cancer and benchmark data sets are used. The experimental results establish that the proposed CSP-MvCDA method is superior to several state-of-the-art algorithms in terms of classification performance.</p>","PeriodicalId":51327,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Machine Learning and Cybernetics","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141531994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional methods primarily utilise triple facts, structured as (head entity, relation, tail entity), as the basic knowledge units in the learning process and use additional external information to improve the performance of models. Since triples are sometimes less than adequate and external information is not always available, obtaining structured internal knowledge from knowledge graphs (KGs) naturally becomes a feasible method for KGE learning. Motivated by this, this paper employs formal concept analysis (FCA) to mine deterministic concept knowledge in KGs and proposes a novel KGE model by taking the concept information into account. More specifically, triples sharing the same head entity are organised into knowledge structures named graph granules, and then were transformed into concept lattices, based on which a novel lattice-based KGE model (TransGr) is proposed for knowledge graph completion. TransGr assumes that entities and relations exist in different granules and uses a matrix (obtained by fusing concepts from concept lattice) for quantitatively depicting the graph granule. Afterwards, it forces entities and relations to meet graph granule constraints when learning vector representations of KGs. Experiments on link prediction and triple classification demonstrated that the proposed TransGr is effective on the datasets with relatively complete graph granules.</p>","PeriodicalId":51327,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Machine Learning and Cybernetics","volume":"75 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141524450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, to output a fused node embedding representation in multi-view scenarios, existing researches tend to ensure the consistency of embedded node information among multiple views. However, they pay much attention to the immediate neighbors information rather than multi-order node information which can capture complex relationships and structures to enhance feature propagation. Furthermore, the embedded node information in each convolutional layer has not been fully utilized because the consistency is frequently achieved by the final convolutional layer. To tackle these limitations, we develop a new end-to-end multi-view learning architecture: sequential attention Layer-wise Fusion Network for multi-view classification (SLFNet). Motivated by the fact that for each view, multi-order node information is hidden in the multiple layer-wise node embedding representations, a set of sequential attentions can then be calculated over those multiple layers, which provides a novel fusion strategy from the perspectives of multi-order. The contributions of our architecture are: (1) capturing multi-order node information instead of using the immediate neighbors, thereby obtaining more accurate node embedding representations; (2) designing a sequential attention module that allows adaptive learning of node embedding representation for each layer, thereby attentively fusing these layer-wise node embedding representations.

The suggested method integrates FL-IDS with a blockchain-based ANN-based key exchange mechanism, providing several important benefits: (1) FL-based IDS creates a shared ledger that aggregates nearby weights and transmits historical weights that have been averaged, lowering computing effort, eliminating poisoning attacks, and improving data visibility and integrity throughout the shared database. (2) The system uses edge-based detection techniques to protect the cloud in the case of a security breach, enabling quicker threat recognition with less computational and processing resource usage. FL’s effectiveness with fewer data samples plays a part in this benefit.

The GDAMFormer module efficiently addresses issues like self-occlusion and depth blur by using a dynamic adjacency matrix to represent the dynamic relationships among joints. The HOGConv module can effectively extract local features by capturing the local physical dependencies of skeleton connections.
