To overcome these limitations, this paper introduces an Improved Artificial Rabbits Optimization Algorithm (IARO) and demonstrates its effectiveness in multi-level threshold color image segmentation using the Otsu method. Initially, we apply a center-driven strategy to enhance exploration by updating the rabbit’s position during the random hiding phase. Additionally, when the algorithm stalls, a Gaussian Randomized Wandering (GRW) strategy is utilized to enable the algorithm to escape local optima and improve convergence accuracy. The performance of the IARO algorithm is evaluated using 23 standard benchmark functions and CEC2020 benchmark functions, and compared with nine other algorithms. Experimental results indicate that IARO excels in global optimization and demonstrates notable robustness. To assess its effectiveness in multi-threshold color image segmentation, the algorithm is tested on classical Berkeley images. Evaluation metrics including execution time, Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), Feature Similarity (FSIM), Structural Similarity (SSIM), Boundary Displacement Error (BDE), The Probabilistic Rand Index (PRI), Variation of Information (VOI) and average fitness value are used to measure segmentation quality.

However, the common assumption in most recommendation systems in the literature is that similar users will be interested in similar items. This assumption holds only sometimes due to the inherent inhomogeneity of user-item interactions. To address this challenge, we introduce a novel recommendation system that leverages partially ordered neutrosophic hypergraphs to model higher-order relationships among users and items. The partial ordering of nodes enables the system to develop efficient top-N recommendations with very high Normalized Discounted Cumulative Gain (NDCG). Our approach incorporates the morphological operation of dilation, applied to user clusters obtained through fuzzy spectral clustering of the hypergraph, to generate the requisite number of recommendations. Explanations for recommendations are obtained through morphological erosion applied on the dual of the embedded hypergraph. Through rigorous testing in educational and e-commerce domains, it has been proved that our method outperforms state-of-the-art techniques and demonstrates excellent performance for various evaluation parameters. The NDCG value, a measure of ranking quality, surpasses 0.10, and the Hit Ratio (HR) consistently falls within the range of 0.25 to 0.30. The Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) values are minimal, reaching as low as 0.4.

In this paper, we introduce the Long Short-Term Memory Network based Recurrent Autoencoder with Imputation Units and Temporal Attention Imputation Model (RATAI), tailored for multivariate time series. RATAI is designed to address certain limitations of traditional RNN-based imputation methods, which often focus on predictive modeling to estimate missing values, sometimes neglecting the contextual impact of observed data at and beyond the target time step. Drawing inspiration from Kalman smoothing, which effectively integrates past and future information to refine state estimations, RATAI aims to extract feature representations from time series data and use them to reconstruct a complete time series, thus overcoming the shortcomings of existing approaches. It employs a dual-stage imputation process: the encoder utilizes temporal information and attribute correlations to predict and impute missing values, and extract feature representation of imputed time series. Subsequently, the decoder reconstructs the series from the feature representation, and the reconstructed values are used as the final imputation values. Additionally, RATAI incorporates a temporal attention mechanism, allowing the decoder to focus on highly relevant inputs during reconstruction. This model can be trained directly using data that contains missing values, avoiding the misleading effects on model training that can arise from setting initial values for missing values. Our experiments demonstrate that RATAI outperforms benchmark models in multivariate time series imputation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8449,"journal":{"name":"Artificial Intelligence Review","volume":"58 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10462-024-11039-z.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142859486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
