In recent times, FS has been framed as a multi-objective optimization problem, leading to the application of various multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) to address it. However, the solution space expands exponentially with the dataset's dimensionality. Simultaneously, the extensive search space often results in numerous local optimal solutions due to a large proportion of unrelated and redundant features [H. Adeli and H. S. Park, Fully automated design of super-high-rise building structures by a hybrid ai model on a massively parallel machine, <i>AI Mag.</i> <b>17</b> (1996) 87-93]. Consequently, existing MOEAs struggle with local optima stagnation, particularly in large-scale multi-objective FS problems (LSMOFSPs). Different LSMOFSPs generally exhibit unique characteristics, yet most existing MOEAs rely on a single candidate solution generation strategy (CSGS), which may be less efficient for diverse LSMOFSPs [H. S. Park and H. Adeli, Distributed neural dynamics algorithms for optimization of large steel structures, <i>J. Struct. Eng. ASCE</i> <b>123</b> (1997) 880-888; M. Aldwaik and H. Adeli, Advances in optimization of highrise building structures, <i>Struct. Multidiscip. Optim.</i> <b>50</b> (2014) 899-919; E. G. González, J. R. Villar, Q. Tan, J. Sedano and C. Chira, An efficient multi-robot path planning solution using a* and coevolutionary algorithms, <i>Integr. Comput. Aided Eng.</i> <b>30</b> (2022) 41-52]. Moreover, selecting an appropriate MOEA and determining its corresponding parameter values for a specified LSMOFSP is time-consuming. To address these challenges, a multi-objective self-adaptive particle swarm optimization (MOSaPSO) algorithm is proposed, combined with a rapid nondominated sorting approach. MOSaPSO employs a self-adaptive mechanism, along with five modified efficient CSGSs, to generate new solutions. Experiments were conducted on ten datasets, and the results demonstrate that the number of features is effectively reduced by MOSaPSO while lowering the classification error rate. Furthermore, superior performance is observed in comparison to its counterparts on both the training and test sets, with advantages becoming increasingly evident as the dimensionality increases.</p>","PeriodicalId":94052,"journal":{"name":"International journal of neural systems","volume":" ","pages":"2450014"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139731251","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 fact, they make interactions taking place in social scenarios much fruitful as possible, limiting or even avoiding malicious or fraudulent behaviors, including collusion. This is also the case of multi-layered neural networks (NN), which can face limited, incomplete, misleading, controversial or noisy datasets, produced by untrustworthy agents. Many strategies to deal with malicious agents in social networks have been proposed in the literature. One of the most effective is represented by Eigentrust, often adopted as a benchmark. It can be seen as a variation of PageRank, an algorithm for determining result rankings used by search engines like Google. Moreover, Eigentrust can also be viewed as a linear neural network whose architecture is represented by the graph of Web pages. A major drawback of Eigentrust is that it uses some additional information about agents that can be <i>a priori</i> considered particularly trustworthy, rewarding them in terms of reputation, while the non pre-trusted agents are penalized. In this paper, we propose a different strategy to detect malicious agents which does not modify the real reputation values of the honest ones. We introduce a measure of effectiveness when computing reputation in presence of malicious agents. Moreover, we define a metric of error useful to quantitatively determine how much an algorithm for the identification of malicious agents modifies the reputation scores of the honest ones. We have performed an experimental campaign of mathematical simulations on a dynamic multi-agent environment. The obtained results show that our method is more effective than Eigentrust in determining reputation values, presenting an error which is about a thousand times lower than the error produced by Eigentrust on medium-sized social networks.</p>","PeriodicalId":94052,"journal":{"name":"International journal of neural systems","volume":" ","pages":"2350063"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41147403","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}

However, aggregating the personal data of these drivers may lead to insufficient data usage and pose a risk of privacy breaches. To address these issues, a framework called Group Federated Learning (Group-FL) for large-scale driver drowsiness detection is proposed, which can efficiently utilize diverse client data while protecting privacy. First, by arranging the clients into different levels of groups and gradually aggregating their model parameters from low-level groups to high-level groups, communication and time costs are reduced. In addition, to solve the problem of notable variations in EEG signals among different clients, a global-personalized deep neural network is designed. The global model extracts shared features from various clients, while the personalized model extracts fine-grained features from each client and outputs classification results. Finally, to address special issues such as scale/category imbalance and data pollution, three checking modules are designed for adjusting grouping, evaluating client data, and effectively applying personalized models. Through extensive experimentation, the effectiveness of each component within the framework was validated, and a mean accuracy, <i>F</i>1-score, and Area Under Curve (AUC) of 81.0%, 82.0%, and 87.9% was achieved, respectively, on a publicly available dataset comprising 11 subjects.</p>","PeriodicalId":94052,"journal":{"name":"International journal of neural systems","volume":" ","pages":"2450003"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"107593148","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}

However, neural activity can be unstable over time, leading to changes in the parameters used for decoding movement, which can hinder accurate movement decoding. To tackle this issue, one approach is to transfer neural activity to a stable, low-dimensional manifold using dimensionality reduction techniques and align manifolds across sessions by maximizing correlations of the manifolds. However, the practical use of manifold stabilization techniques requires knowledge of the true subject intentions such as target direction or behavioral state. To overcome this limitation, an automatic unsupervised algorithm is proposed that determines movement target intention before manifold alignment in the presence of manifold rotation and scaling across sessions. This unsupervised algorithm is combined with a dimensionality reduction and alignment method to overcome decoder instabilities. The effectiveness of the BMI stabilizer method is represented by decoding the two-dimensional (2D) hand velocity of two rhesus macaque monkeys during a center-out-reaching movement task. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated using correlation coefficient and <i>R</i>-squared measures, demonstrating higher decoding performance compared to a state-of-the-art unsupervised BMI stabilizer.
