In the context of cloud systems, the effectiveness of placing modules for optimal reliability and end-to-end delay (EED) is directly linked to the success of scheduling distributed scientific workflows. However, the measures used to evaluate these aspects (reliability and EED) are in conflict with each other, making it impossible to optimize both simultaneously. Thus, we introduce a scheduling algorithm for distributed scientific workflows that focuses on enhancing reliability while maintaining specific EED limits. This is particularly important given the inevitable failures of processing servers and communication links. To achieve our objective, we first develop an artificial intelligence-based model that merges an improved version of the wild horse optimization technique with a levy flight approach. This hybrid approach enhances the ability to explore new possibilities effectively. Additionally, we establish a viable strategy for sharing mapping decisions and stored information among processing servers, promoting scalability and robustness—essential qualities for large-scale distributed systems. This strategy not only boosts local search capabilities but also prevents premature convergence of the algorithm. The primary goal of this study is to pinpoint resource placements that strike a balance between global exploration and local exploitation. This entails effectively harnessing the search space and minimizing the inclination toward resources with a high likelihood of failures. Through experimentation in various system configurations, our proposed method consistently outperformed competing workflow scheduling algorithms. It achieved notably higher levels of reliability while adhering to the same EED constraints. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cardiac disorders are a leading cause of global casualties, emphasizing the need for the initial diagnosis and prevention of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Electrocardiogram (ECG) procedures are highly recommended as they provide crucial cardiology information. Telemedicine offers an opportunity to provide low-cost tools and widespread availability for CVD management. In this research, we proposed an IoT-based monitoring and detection system for cardiac patients, employing a two-stage approach. In the initial stage, we used a routing protocol that combines routing by energy and link quality (REL) with dynamic source routing (DSR) to efficiently collect data on an IoT healthcare platform. The second stage involves the classification of ECG images using hybrid-based deep features. Our classification system utilizes the "ECG Images dataset of Cardiac Patients", comprising 12-lead ECG images with four distinct categories: abnormal heartbeat, myocardial infarction (MI), previous history of MI, and normal ECG. For feature extraction, we employed a lightweight CNN, which automatically extracts relevant ECG features. These features were further optimized through an attention module, which is the method's main focus. The model achieved a remarkable accuracy of 98.39%. Our findings suggest that this system can effectively aid in the identification of cardiac disorders. The proposed approach combines IoT, deep learning, and efficient routing protocols, showcasing its potential for improving CVD diagnosis and management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Scheduling jobs within a cloud environment is a critical area of research that necessitates meticulous analysis. It entails the challenge of optimally assigning jobs to various cloud servers, each with different capabilities, and is classified as a non-deterministic polynomial (NP) problem. Many conventional methods have been suggested to tackle this difficulty, but they often struggle to find nearly perfect solutions within a reasonable timeframe. As a result, researchers have turned to evolutionary algorithms to tackle this problem. However, relying on a single metaheuristic approach can be problematic as it may become trapped in local optima, resulting in slow convergence. Therefore, combining different metaheuristic strategies to improve the overall system enactment is essential. This paper presents a novel approach that integrates three methods to enhance exploration and exploitation, increasing search process efficiency and optimizing many-objective functions. In the initial phase, we adopt cooperative game theory with merge-and-split techniques to train computing hosts at different utilization load levels, determining the ideal utilization for each server. This approach ensures that servers operate at their highest utilization range, maximizing their profitability. In the second stage, we incorporate the mean variation of the grey wolf optimization algorithm, making significant adjustments to the encircling and hunting phases to enhance the exploitation of the search space. In the final phase, we introduce an innovative pollination operator inspired by the sunflower optimization algorithm to enrich the exploration of the search domain. By skillfully balancing exploration and exploitation, we effectively address many-objective optimization problems. To validate the performance of our proposed method, we conducted experiments using both real-world and synthesized datasets, employing CloudSim software version 5.0. The evaluation involved two sets of experiments to measure different evaluation metrics. In the first experiment, we focused on minimizing factors such as energy costs, completion time, latency, and SLA violations. The second experiment, in contrast, aimed at maximizing metrics such as service quality, bandwidth utilization, asset utilization ratio, and service provider outcomes. The results from these experiments unequivocally demonstrate the outstanding performance of our algorithm, surpassing existing state-of-the-art approaches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) is an extremely infectious, viral, and chronic skin disease that is caused by the Capripox virus. This viral disease is predominantly found in cows. Mosquitoes and ticks are the primary transmitters for the spread of this virus. Recently, LSDV has been rapidly spreading all over the world, especially in several areas of Pakistan, India, and Iran. Thousands of cows have died due to this infectious virus in Pakistan and early detection of LSDV is needed to avoid further loss. The prediction and classification of LSDV are hindered by the lack of publicly available datasets. Despite a few studies using LSDV datasets, such datasets are often small, which may lead to model overfitting. In this regard, we collect the dataset from several online sources, as well as, collecting images from veterinary farms in different areas of Pakistan. Deep learning has been widely used in the medical field for disease detection and classification. Therefore, this study leverages DenseNet deep learning models for LSDV detection and classification. Experiments are performed using VGG-16, ResNet-50, MobileNet-V2, custom-designed convolutional neural network, and Inception-V3. The DenseNet architecture presents a Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) and Spatial Attention (SA) for the prediction and classification of LSD. Results demonstrate that a 99.11% accuracy can be obtained on the augmented dataset while a 94.23% accuracy can be achieved with the original dataset for chicken pox, monkey pox, and LSDV. Comparison with state-of-the-art studies corroborates the superior performance of the proposed model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The task and worker recommendation problems in crowdsourcing systems have brought up unique characteristics that are not present in traditional recommendation scenarios, i.e., the huge flow of tasks with short lifespans, the importance of workers' capabilities, and the quality of the completed tasks. These unique features make traditional recommendation approaches no longer satisfactory for task and worker recommendation in crowdsourcing systems. In this article, we propose a two-tier data representation scheme (defining a worker--category suitability score and a worker--task attractiveness score) to support personalized task and worker recommendations. We also extend two optimization methods, namely least mean square error and Bayesian personalized rank, to better fit the characteristics of task/worker recommendation in crowdsourcing systems.We then integrate the proposed representation scheme and the extended optimizationmethods along with the two adapted popular learning models, i.e., matrix factorization and kNN, and result in two lines of top-N recommendation algorithms for crowdsourcing systems: (1) Top-N-Tasks recommendation algorithms for discovering the top-N most suitable tasks for a given worker and (2) Top-N-Workers recommendation algorithms for identifying the top-N best workers for a task requester. An extensive experimental study is conducted that validates the effectiveness and efficiency of a broad spectrum of algorithms, accompanied by our analysis and the insights gained.

Machine learning techniques that rely on textual features or sentiment lexicons can lead to erroneous sentiment analysis. These techniques are especially vulnerable to domain-related difficulties, especially when dealing in Big data. In addition, labeling is time-consuming and supervised machine learning algorithms often lack labeled data. Transfer learning can help save time and obtain high performance with fewer datasets in this field. To cope this, we used a transfer learning-based Multi-Domain Sentiment Classification (MDSC) technique. We are able to identify the sentiment polarity of text in a target domain that is unlabeled by looking at reviews in a labelled source domain. This research aims to evaluate the impact of domain adaptation and measure the extent to which transfer learning enhances sentiment analysis outcomes. We employed transfer learning models BERT, RoBERTa, ELECTRA, and ULMFiT to improve the performance in sentiment analysis. We analyzed sentiment through various transformer models and compared the performance of LSTM and CNN. The experiments are carried on five publicly available sentiment analysis datasets, namely Hotel Reviews (HR), Movie Reviews (MR), Sentiment140 Tweets (ST), Citation Sentiment Corpus (CSC), and Bioinformatics Citation Corpus (BCC), to adapt multi-target domains. The performance of numerous models employing transfer learning from diverse datasets demonstrating how various factors influence the outputs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Detecting drowsiness among drivers is critical for ensuring road safety and preventing accidents caused by drowsy or fatigued driving. Research on yawn detection among drivers has great significance in improving traffic safety. Although various studies have taken place where deep learning-based approaches are being proposed, there is still room for improvement to develop better and more accurate drowsiness detection systems using behavioral features such as mouth and eye movement. This study proposes a deep neural network architecture for drowsiness detection employing a convolutional neural network (CNN) for driver drowsiness detection. Experiments involve using the DLIB library to locate key facial points to calculate the mouth aspect ratio (MAR). To compensate for the small dataset, data augmentation is performed for the 'yawning' and 'no_yawning' classes. Models are trained and tested involving the original and augmented dataset to analyze the impact on model performance. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed CNN model achieves an average accuracy of 96.69%. Performance comparison with existing state-of-the-art approaches shows better performance of the proposed model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have gained popularity for categorizing hyperspectral (HS) images due to their ability to capture representations of spatial-spectral features. However, their ability to model relationships between data is limited. Graph convolutional networks (GCNs) have been introduced as an alternative, as they are effective in representing and analyzing irregular data beyond grid sampling constraints. While GCNs have traditionally been computationally intensive, minibatch GCNs (miniGCNs) enable minibatch training of large-scale GCNs. We have improved the classification performance by using miniGCNs to infer out-of-sample data without retraining the network. In addition, fuzing the capabilities of CNNs and GCNs, through concatenative fusion has been shown to improve performance compared to using CNNs or GCNs individually. Finally, support vector machine (SVM) is employed instead of softmax in the classification stage. These techniques were tested on two HS datasets and achieved an average accuracy of 92.80 using Indian Pines dataset, demonstrating the effectiveness of miniGCNs and fusion strategies.

Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer among women. Prompt detection of breast cancer can impede its advancement to more advanced phases, thereby elevating the probability of favorable treatment consequences. Histopathological images are commonly used for breast cancer classification due to their detailed cellular information. Existing diagnostic approaches rely on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) which are limited to local context resulting in a lower classification accuracy. Therefore, we present a fusion model composed of a Vision Transformer (ViT) and custom Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling (ASPP) network with an attention mechanism for effectively classifying breast cancer from histopathological images. ViT enables the model to attain global features, while the ASPP network accommodates multiscale features. Fusing the features derived from the models resulted in a robust breast cancer classifier. With the help of five-stage image preprocessing technique, the proposed model achieved 100% accuracy in classifying breast cancer on the BreakHis dataset at 100X and 400X magnification factors. On 40X and 200X magnifications, the model achieved 99.25% and 98.26% classification accuracy respectively. With a commendable classification efficacy on histopathological images, the model can be considered a dependable option for proficient breast cancer classification. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Concrete is widely used in civil engineering applications and the natural aggregates which used in concrete are scarce, but its demand is increasing. The disposal of rubber tyres poses a significant environmental challenge, as their decomposition releases harmful chemicals into the soil and water bodies over many years. Decomposition of tyres should be done in a smart way and hence came the emergence of mixing recycled rubber crumbs into concrete as Rubberised Concrete (RC). This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the mechanical properties of concrete such as Compressive Strength (fck), Tensile Strength (ft), Flexural Strength (fcr) of 7, 14, 28 days in replacement of fine aggregate with fine rubber (FR), and Coarse Aggregate with Coarse Rubber (CR). The results indicate that RC is more suitable for structural applications, including Reinforced Concrete columns, beams, slabs, than conventional concrete. The primary objective of the article is to explore the potential use of recycled rubber crumbs in concrete, referred to as Rubberised Concrete (RC), and to analyze its mechanical properties such as compressive strength, tensile strength, and flexural strength over different curing periods. Additionally, machine learning (ML) based prediction model has been developed for various strength characteristics of concrete mixtures at 28 days. The hyperparameter optimization using Grid Search CV with fivefold cross-validation have been performed to obtain the best hyperparameters. The model’s performance is evaluated using metrics like MAE, MSE, RMSE, and R-squared values. Results reveal varying performances among different ML algorithms for predicting flexural, tensile, and compressive strengths. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In addition, we utilized the UNet-BiGRU model for segmentation, which attained a training accuracy of 92.55%, a validation accuracy of 89.87%, and a significant test accuracy of 91.47%. In the segmentation task, we examined some methods to improve our ability to divide data into segments, resulting in a testing accuracy score of 91.99% and an Intersection over Union (IOU) of 87.46%. These measures demonstrate skill of the model in accurately defining and separating VF. Our system's classification and segmentation results confirm its capacity to effectively identify and segment VF disorders, representing a significant advancement in enhancing diagnostic accuracy and healthcare in this specialized field. This study emphasizes the potential of machine learning to transform the medical field's capacity to categorize VF and segment VF, providing clinicians with a vital instrument to mitigate the profound impact of the condition. Implementing this innovative approach is expected to enhance medical procedures and provide a sense of optimism to those globally affected by VF disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Sentiment analysis is an essential task in natural language processing that involves identifying a text's polarity, whether it expresses positive, negative, or neutral sentiments. With the growth of social media and the Internet, sentiment analysis has become increasingly important in various fields, such as marketing, politics, and customer service. However, sentiment analysis becomes challenging when dealing with foreign languages, particularly without labelled data for training models. In this study, we propose an ensemble model of transformers and a large language model (LLM) that leverages sentiment analysis of foreign languages by translating them into a base language, English. We used four languages, Arabic, Chinese, French, and Italian, and translated them using two neural machine translation models: LibreTranslate and Google Translate. Sentences were then analyzed for sentiment using an ensemble of pre-trained sentiment analysis models: Twitter-Roberta-Base-Sentiment-Latest, bert-base-multilingual-uncased-sentiment, and GPT-3, which is an LLM from OpenAI. Our experimental results showed that the accuracy of sentiment analysis on translated sentences was over 86% using the proposed model, indicating that foreign language sentiment analysis is possible through translation to English, and the proposed ensemble model works better than the independent pre-trained models and LLM.

The brain‐computer interface (BCI) enables individuals with impairments to interact with the real world without relying on the neuromuscular pathway. BCI leverages artificial intelligence (AI) models for control. It can capture brain activity patterns associated with mental processes and convert them into commands for actuators. One promising application of BCI is in rehabilitation centres. When compared to traditional methods integrated with machine learning (ML) approaches that were initially explored in the past decade, there is a relatively limited number of studies utilizing deep learning (DL) approaches in BCI applications. A novel approach has been developed for the automatic recognition of motor imagery (MI) tasks. This article introduces the improved sparrow search algorithm with deep transfer learning‐based EEG motor imagery classification (ISSADTL‐EEGMIC) algorithm for BCIs. The presented ISSADTL‐EEGMIC algorithm primarily focuses on the automated classification of motor imagery tasks. To achieve this, the ISSADTL‐EEGMIC method first preprocesses EEG signals using the wavelet packet decomposition (WPD) technique. Additionally, it employs the neural architecture search network (NASNet) technique for feature extraction. Moreover, the ISSADTL‐EEGMIC model performs the classification process using the stacked sparse autoencoder (SSAE) model. Furthermore, hyperparameter optimization of the SSAE model is performed using the ISSA technique, which helps achieve maximum classification performance. The results from the simulation of the ISSADTL‐EEGMIC algorithm have been examined using two benchmark datasets.

This paper aims to analyze the coupled nonlinear fractional Drinfel'd-Sokolov-Wilson (FDSW) model with beta derivative. The nonlinear FDSW equation plays an important role in describing dispersive water wave structures in mathematical physics and engineering, which is used to describe nonlinear surface gravity waves propagating over horizontal sea bed. We have applied the travelling wave transformation that converts the FDSW model to nonlinear ordinary differential equations. After that, we applied the generalized rational exponential function method (GERFM). Diverse types of soliton solution structures in the form of singular bright, periodic, dark, bell-shaped and trigonometric functions are attained via the proposed method. By selecting a suitable parametric value, the 3D, 2D and contour plots for some solutions are also displayed to visualize their nature in a better way. The modulation instability for the model is also discussed. The results show that the presented method is simple and powerful to get a novel soliton solution for nonlinear PDEs.

Symmetry in a differential evolution (DE) transforms a solution without impacting the family of solutions. For symmetrical problems in differential equations, DE is a strong evolutionary algorithm that provides a powerful solution to resolve global optimization problems. DE/best/1 and DE/rand/1 are the two most commonly used mutation strategies in DE. The former provides better exploitation while the latter ensures better exploration. DE/Neighbor/1 is an improved form of DE/rand/1 to maintain a balance between exploration and exploitation which was used with a random neighbor-based differential evolution (RNDE) algorithm. However, this mutation strategy slows down convergence. It should achieve a global minimum by using 1000 × D, where D is the dimension, but due to exploration and exploitation balancing trade-offs, it can not achieve a global minimum within the range of 1000 × D in some of the objective functions. To overcome this issue, a new and enhanced mutation strategy and algorithm have been introduced in this paper, called DE/Neighbor/2, as well as an improved random neighbor-based differential evolution algorithm. The new DE/Neighbor/2 mutation strategy also uses neighbor information such as DE/Neighbor/1; however, in addition, we add weighted differences after various tests. The DE/Neighbor/2 and IRNDE algorithm has also been tested on the same 27 commonly used benchmark functions on which the DE/Neighbor/1 mutation strategy and RNDE were tested. Experimental results demonstrate that the DE/Neighbor/2 mutation strategy and IRNDE algorithm show overall better and faster convergence than the DE/Neighbor/1 mutation strategy and RNDE algorithm. The parametric significance test shows that there is a significance difference in the performance of RNDE and IRNDE algorithms at the 0.05 level of significance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Differential evolution (DE) stands out as a straightforward yet remarkably powerful evolutionary algorithm employed for real-world problem-solving purposes. In the DE algorithm, few parameters are used, and the population is evolved by applying various operations. It is difficult in evolutionary computation algorithms to maintain population diversity. The main issue is the sub-population of the DE algorithm that helps improve convergence speed and escape from the local optimum. Evolving sub-populations by maintaining diversity is an important issue in the literature that is considered in this research. A solution is proposed that uses sub-populations to promote greater diversity within the population and improve the algorithm performance. DE, heterogeneous distributed differential evolution (HDDE), multi-population ensemble differential evolution (MPEDE), and the proposed improved multi-population ensemble differential evolution (IMPEDE) are implemented using parameter settings; population sizes of 100 NP, 150 NP, and 200 NP; and dimensions of 10D, 30D, and 50D for performance comparison. Different combinations of mutations are used to generate the simulated results. The simulation results are generated using 1000, 3000, and 5000 iterations. Experimental outcomes show the superior results of the proposed IMPEDE over existing algorithms. The non-parametric significance Friedman test confirms that there is a significant difference in the performance of the proposed algorithm and other algorithms used in this study by considering a 0.05 level of significance using six benchmark functions.

The study shows that the proposed metamodel can predict heart failure more accurately than other machine learning models, with an accuracy of 87%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With an aging population and increased chronic diseases, remote health monitoring has become critical to improving patient care and reducing healthcare costs. The Internet of Things (IoT) has recently drawn much interest as a potential remote health monitoring remedy. IoT-based systems can gather and analyze a wide range of physiological data, including blood oxygen levels, heart rates, body temperatures, and ECG signals, and then provide real-time feedback to medical professionals so they may take appropriate action. This paper proposes an IoT-based system for remote monitoring and early detection of health problems in home clinical settings. The system comprises three sensor types: MAX30100 for measuring blood oxygen level and heart rate; AD8232 ECG sensor module for ECG signal data; and MLX90614 non-contact infrared sensor for body temperature. The collected data is transmitted to a server using the MQTT protocol. A pre-trained deep learning model based on a convolutional neural network with an attention layer is used on the server to classify potential diseases. The system can detect five different categories of heartbeats: Normal Beat, Supraventricular premature beat, Premature ventricular contraction, Fusion of ventricular, and Unclassifiable beat from ECG sensor data and fever or non-fever from body temperature. Furthermore, the system provides a report on the patient's heart rate and oxygen level, indicating whether they are within normal ranges or not. The system automatically connects the user to the nearest doctor for further diagnosis if any critical abnormalities are detected. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There has been a growing need for secure communication in recent years, particularly in the digital realm. Researchers have developed various text-hiding methods to address this need, but these methods often suffer from limitations such as low embedding capacity or high embedding distortion. However, current methods for information hiding require a large image database or have a low capacity for hiding information, which makes them impractical. To address these issues, we propose a coverless information-hiding method that generates anime characters through generative adversarial networks (GANs). This method converts secret information into an attribute label set for anime characters and uses the label set to generate anime characters directly. The quality of the generated anime characters was improved by the super-resolution GAN (SRGAN) model. The resulting images were used to communicate secret information on the digital channel. Numerous experiments were conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed framework, including hiding capacity, image clarity, robustness and security. Results showed that the proposed framework outperforms existing text-hiding methods in terms of hiding capacity and robustness while maintaining image clarity and computation time. In conclusion, our proposed framework provides a secure and efficient solution for text encryption and decryption in feasible computation time using anime characters generated by a GAN. The framework has a high embedding capacity and low embedding distortion, making it a promising solution for secure communication in the digital world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
