The popularity and diversity of blockchain systems attracted intensive attentions from academia, industry and other sectors. Blockchain systems were implemented using different programming languages that used in defining the triggering events and their consequent actions within the smart contract. In this article, we propose a digital evidences preservation framework that supports logic-based smart contracts to manage entries associated with digital evidences. Combining logic-based approach and blockchain systems may result in ensuing contracts that have technical advantages over procedural coding. The paper shows the motivation for choosing logic-based approach to define a smart contract. We introduce the rules and structure of the proposed logic-based contract.","PeriodicalId":56292,"journal":{"name":"Informatica","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135351258","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}

In this paper, firstly, the financial risk of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) was simply analyzed. Some financial indicators were selected, and then some of the indicators were eliminated by Mann-Whitney U test and Pearson test. For risk prediction, an improved sparrow search algorithm-back-propagation neural network (ISSA-BPNN) method was designed by optimizing the BPNN with the piecewise linear chaotic map (PWLCM)-improved SSA. Experiments were performed on 82 special treatment (ST) enterprises and 164 non-ST enterprises. The results showed that the BPNN had higher accuracy in risk prediction than methods such as Fisher discriminant analysis; the optimization of the ISSA for the BPNN was reliable as the accuracy and F1 value of the ISSA-BPNN method were 0.9834 and 0.9425, respectively; the prediction was wrong for only one sample out of 20 randomly selected samples. The results demonstrate the reliability and practical applicability of the ISSA-BPNN method.","PeriodicalId":56292,"journal":{"name":"Informatica","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135739379","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}

This article mainly focuses on the generation of chords in automated music composition. First, relevant music knowledge was briefly introduced, and then the composition of the Transformer model was explained. A two-layer bidirectional Transformer method was designed to generate chords for the main melody and chorus separately, followed by the establishment of chord coloring and sound production models. Ten music professionals and 40 ordinary college students compared the coherence, pleasantness, and innovation of the chords generated by Hidden Markov Model (HMM), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and the method proposed in this paper. The results showed that the chord generated by the method proposed in this paper achieved higher scores in the evaluation. Overall, the scores given by the music professionals and ordinary college students were 3.64 and 3.91, respectively, which were higher than those of the HMM and LSTM methods. The experimental results prove the superiority of the chord generation method proposed in this paper. The method can be applied to automated music composition.","PeriodicalId":56292,"journal":{"name":"Informatica","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135388624","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 K-means algorithm, commonly used for clustering, is subject to limitations, such as requiring the number of clusters to be specified and being sensitive to initial center points. To address these limitations, this study proposes a novel method to determine the optimal number of clusters and initial centroids using a variable-length spider monkey optimization algorithm (VLSMO) with a hybrid proposed measure. Results of experiments on real-life datasets demonstrate that VLSMO performs better than the standard k-means in terms of accuracy and clustering capacity.","PeriodicalId":56292,"journal":{"name":"Informatica","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135388802","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 diagnostic approach of the infection is principally divided into two broad categories, a laboratory-based and chest radiography approach where the CT imaging tests showed some advantages in the prediction over the other methods. Due to the restricted medical capability and the impressive raise of the suspected cases, the need for finding an immediate, accurate and automated method to alleviate the overcapacity of radiologists’ efforts for diagnosis has emerged . In order to accomplish this objective, our work is based on developing machine and deep learning algorithms to classify chest CT scans into Covid or non-Covid classes. To obtain a good performance, the accuracy of the classifier should be high so the patients may have a clear idea about their state. For this purpose, there are many hyper parameters that can be changed in order to advance the performance of the artificial models that are used for the identification of such illnesses. We have worked on two non-similar datasets from different sources, a small one of 746 images and a larger one with 14486 images. In the other hand, we have proposed various machine learning models starting by an SVM which contains different kernel types, KNN model with changing the distance measurements and an RF model with two different number of trees. Moreover, two CNN based approaches have been developed considering one convolution layer followed by a pooling layer then two consecutive convolution layers followed by a single pooling layer each time. The machine learning models showed better performance comparing to the CNN on the small dataset. While on the large dataset, CNN outperforms these algorithms. In order to improve performance of the models, transfer learning also have been used in this project where we trained the pre-trained InceptionV3 and ResNet50V2 on the same datasets. Among all the examined classifiers, the ResNet50V2 achieved the best scores with 86.67% accuracy, 93.94% sensitivity, 81% specificity and 86% F1-score on the small dataset while the respective scores on the large dataset were 97.52%, 97.28%, 97.77% and 98%. Experimental interpretation advise the potential applicability of ResNet50V2 transfer learning approach in real diagnostic scenarios, which might be of very high usefulness in terms of achieving fast testing for COVID19.","PeriodicalId":56292,"journal":{"name":"Informatica","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135387910","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}
