Compared with other clustering and sorting techniques, as a structural model, the GMM is suitable for various kinds of traffic flow parameters. Gap statistics and domain knowledge of traffic flow are used to determine a proper number of clusters. The expectation-maximization （E-M） algorithm is used to estimate parameters of the GMM model. The clustered traffic flow pattems are then analyzed statistically and utilized for designing maximum likelihood classifiers for grouping real-time traffic flow data when new observations become available. Clustering analysis and pattern recognition can also be used to cluster and classify dynamic traffic flow patterns for freeway on-ramp and off-ramp weaving sections as well as for other facilities or things involving the concept of level of service, such as airports, parking lots, intersections, interrupted-flow pedestrian facilities, etc.展开更多

Neurological deterioration ranging from complete spinal cord injury （SCI） to incomplete SCI or single radiculopathy are potential consequences of the blunt trauma over this region. The subaxial cervical spine accounts the vast majority of cervical injuries, making up two thirds of all cervical fractures （Alday, 1996）. Few classifications （Holdsworth, 1970; White et al., 1975; Mien et al., 1982; Denis, 1984; Vaccaro et al., 2007） have been proposed to describe injuries of the cervical spine for several reasons. First, to delineate the best treatment in each case; second, to determinate an accurate neurological prognosis, and third, to establish a standard way to communicate and describe specific characteristics of cervical injuries patterns. Classical systems are primarily descriptive and no single system has gained widespread use, largely because of restrictions in clinical relevance and its complexity.展开更多

For this reason, interval DEA is proposed. To make the efficiency scores more discriminative, this paper builds an Interval Modified DEA (IMDEA) model based on MDEA.

Next, a new order relation between intervals which can express the DM’s preference to the three types is proposed. As a result, a full and more convictive ranking is made on all the DMUs.

Within the study area, Baihe Forestry Bureau land was classified into a two-hierarchy system. The top-level class included the non-forest and forest. Over 96% of land area is forest in the study area, which was further divided into key ecological service forest （KES）, general ecological service forest （GES）, and commodity forest （COM）. COM covered 45.0% of the total land area and was the major forest management type in Baihe Forest Bureau. KES and GES accounted for 21.2% and 29.9% of the total land area, respectively. The forest management zones designed with GIS in this study were then compared with the forest management zones established using the hand draw by the local agency. There were obvious differences between the two products. It suggested that the differences had some to do with the data sources, basic unit and mapping procedures. It also suggested that the GIS method was a useful tool in integrating forest inventory data and other data for classifying and mapping forest zones to meet the needs of the classified forest management system.展开更多

文摘Indoor microorganisms impact asthma and allergic rhinitis(AR),but the associated microbial taxa often vary extensively due to climate and geographical variations.To provide more consistent environmental assessments,new perspectives on microbial exposure for asthma and AR are needed.Home dust from 97 cases(32 asthma alone,37 AR alone,28 comorbidity)and 52 age-and gender-matched controls in Shanghai,China,were analyzed using high-throughput shotgun metagenomic sequencing and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.Homes of healthy children were enriched with environmental microbes,including Paracoccus,Pseudomonas,and Psychrobacter,and metabolites like keto acids,indoles,pyridines,and flavonoids(astragalin,hesperidin)(False Discovery Rate<0.05).A neural network co-occurrence probability analysis revealed that environmental microorganisms were involved in producing these keto acids,indoles,and pyridines.Conversely,homes of diseased children were enriched with mycotoxins and synthetic chemicals,including herbicides,insecticides,and food/cosmetic additives.Using a random forest model,characteristic metabolites and microorganisms in Shanghai homes were used to classify high and low prevalence of asthma/AR in an independent dataset in Malaysian schools(N=1290).Indoor metabolites achieved an average accuracy of 74.9%and 77.1%in differentiating schools with high and low prevalence of asthma and AR,respectively,whereas indoor microorganisms only achieved 51.0%and 59.5%,respectively.These results suggest that indoor metabolites and chemicals rather than indoor microbiome are potentially superior environmental indicators for childhood asthma and AR.This study extends the traditional risk assessment focusing on allergens or air pollutants in childhood asthma and AR,thereby revealing potential novel intervention strategies for these diseases.

文摘As the risks associated with air turbulence are intensified by climate change and the growth of the aviation industry,it has become imperative to monitor and mitigate these threats to ensure civil aviation safety.The eddy dissipation rate(EDR)has been established as the standard metric for quantifying turbulence in civil aviation.This study aims to explore a universally applicable symbolic classification approach based on genetic programming to detect turbulence anomalies using quick access recorder(QAR)data.The detection of atmospheric turbulence is approached as an anomaly detection problem.Comparative evaluations demonstrate that this approach performs on par with direct EDR calculation methods in identifying turbulence events.Moreover,comparisons with alternative machine learning techniques indicate that the proposed technique is the optimal methodology currently available.In summary,the use of symbolic classification via genetic programming enables accurate turbulence detection from QAR data,comparable to that with established EDR approaches and surpassing that achieved with machine learning algorithms.This finding highlights the potential of integrating symbolic classifiers into turbulence monitoring systems to enhance civil aviation safety amidst rising environmental and operational hazards.
文摘The key objective of intrusion detection systems(IDS)is to protect the particular host or network by investigating and predicting the network traffic as an attack or normal.These IDS uses many methods of machine learning(ML)to learn from pastexperience attack i.e.signatures based and identify the new ones.Even though these methods are effective,but they have to suffer from large computational costs due to considering all the traffic features,together.Moreover,emerging technologies like the Internet of Things(Io T),big data,etc.are getting advanced day by day;as a result,network traffics are also increasing rapidly.Therefore,the issue of computational cost needs to be addressed properly.Thus,in this research,firstly,the ML methods have been used with the feature selection technique(FST)to reduce the number of features by picking out only the important ones from NSL-KDD,CICIDS2017,and CIC-DDo S2019datasets later that helped to build IDSs with lower cost but with the higher performance which would be appropriate for vast scale network.The experimental result demonstrated that the proposed model i.e.Decision tree(DT)with Recursive feature elimination(RFE)performs better than other classifiers with RFE in terms of accuracy,specificity,precision,sensitivity,F1-score,and G-means on the investigated datasets.

文摘A machine learning(ML)-based random forest(RF)classification model algorithm was employed to investigate the main factors affecting the formation of the core-shell structure of BaTiO_(3)-based ceramics and their interpretability was analyzed by using Shapley additive explanations(SHAP).An F1-score changed from 0.8795 to 0.9310,accuracy from 0.8450 to 0.9070,precision from 0.8714 to 0.9000,recall from 0.8929 to 0.9643,and ROC/AUC value of 0.97±0.03 was achieved by the RF classification with the optimal set of features containing only 5 features,demonstrating the high accuracy of our model and its high robustness.During the interpretability analysis of the model,it was found that the electronegativity,melting point,and sintering temperature of the dopant contribute highly to the formation of the core-shell structure,and based on these characteristics,specific ranges were delineated and twelve elements were finally obtained that met all the requirements,namely Si,Sc,Mn,Fe,Co,Ni,Pd,Er,Tm,Lu,Pa,and Cm.In the process of exploring the structure of the core-shell,the doping elements can be effectively localized to be selected by choosing the range of features.

文摘The potential of text analytics is revealed by Machine Learning(ML)and Natural Language Processing(NLP)techniques.In this paper,we propose an NLP framework that is applied to multiple datasets to detect malicious Uniform Resource Locators(URLs).Three categories of features,both ML and Deep Learning(DL)algorithms and a ranking schema are included in the proposed framework.We apply frequency and prediction-based embeddings,such as hash vectorizer,Term Frequency-Inverse Dense Frequency(TF-IDF)and predictors,word to vector-word2vec(continuous bag of words,skip-gram)from Google,to extract features from text.Further,we apply more state-of-the-art methods to create vectorized features,such as GloVe.Additionally,feature engineering that is specific to URL structure is deployed to detect scams and other threats.For framework assessment,four ranking indicators are weighted:computational time and performance as accuracy,F1 score and type error II.For the computational time,we propose a new metric-Feature Building Time(FBT)as the cutting-edge feature builders(like doc2vec or GloVe)require more time.By applying the proposed assessment step,the skip-gram algorithm of word2vec surpasses other feature builders in performance.Additionally,eXtreme Gradient Boost(XGB)outperforms other classifiers.With this setup,we attain an accuracy of 99.5%and an F1 score of 0.99.
文摘The Internet of Things(IoT)is a growing technology that allows the sharing of data with other devices across wireless networks.Specifically,IoT systems are vulnerable to cyberattacks due to its opennes The proposed work intends to implement a new security framework for detecting the most specific and harmful intrusions in IoT networks.In this framework,a Covariance Linear Learning Embedding Selection(CL2ES)methodology is used at first to extract the features highly associated with the IoT intrusions.Then,the Kernel Distributed Bayes Classifier(KDBC)is created to forecast attacks based on the probability distribution value precisely.In addition,a unique Mongolian Gazellas Optimization(MGO)algorithm is used to optimize the weight value for the learning of the classifier.The effectiveness of the proposed CL2ES-KDBC framework has been assessed using several IoT cyber-attack datasets,The obtained results are then compared with current classification methods regarding accuracy(97%),precision(96.5%),and other factors.Computational analysis of the CL2ES-KDBC system on IoT intrusion datasets is performed,which provides valuable insight into its performance,efficiency,and suitability for securing IoT networks.

文摘Incredible progress has been made in human action recognition(HAR),significantly impacting computer vision applications in sports analytics.However,identifying dynamic and complex movements in sports like badminton remains challenging due to the need for precise recognition accuracy and better management of complex motion patterns.Deep learning techniques like convolutional neural networks(CNNs),long short-term memory(LSTM),and graph convolutional networks(GCNs)improve recognition in large datasets,while the traditional machine learning methods like SVM(support vector machines),RF(random forest),and LR(logistic regression),combined with handcrafted features and ensemble approaches,perform well but struggle with the complexity of fast-paced sports like badminton.We proposed an ensemble learning model combining support vector machines(SVM),logistic regression(LR),random forest(RF),and adaptive boosting(AdaBoost)for badminton action recognition.The data in this study consist of video recordings of badminton stroke techniques,which have been extracted into spatiotemporal data.The three-dimensional distance between each skeleton point and the right hip represents the spatial features.The temporal features are the results of Fast Dynamic Time Warping(FDTW)calculations applied to 15 frames of each video sequence.The weighted ensemble model employs soft voting classifiers from SVM,LR,RF,and AdaBoost to enhance the accuracy of badminton action recognition.The E2 ensemble model,which combines SVM,LR,and AdaBoost,achieves the highest accuracy of 95.38%.
文摘Redundancy,correlation,feature irrelevance,and missing samples are just a few problems that make it difficult to analyze software defect data.Additionally,it might be challenging to maintain an even distribution of data relating to both defective and non-defective software.The latter software class’s data are predominately present in the dataset in the majority of experimental situations.The objective of this review study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of combining ensemble learning and feature selection in improving the performance of defect classification.Besides the successful feature selection approach,a novel variant of the ensemble learning technique is analyzed to address the challenges of feature redundancy and data imbalance,providing robustness in the classification process.To overcome these problems and lessen their impact on the fault classification performance,authors carefully integrate effective feature selection with ensemble learning models.Forward selection demonstrates that a significant area under the receiver operating curve(ROC)can be attributed to only a small subset of features.The Greedy forward selection(GFS)technique outperformed Pearson’s correlation method when evaluating feature selection techniques on the datasets.Ensemble learners,such as random forests(RF)and the proposed average probability ensemble(APE),demonstrate greater resistance to the impact of weak features when compared to weighted support vector machines(W-SVMs)and extreme learning machines(ELM).Furthermore,in the case of the NASA and Java datasets,the enhanced average probability ensemble model,which incorporates the Greedy forward selection technique with the average probability ensemble model,achieved remarkably high accuracy for the area under the ROC.It approached a value of 1.0,indicating exceptional performance.This review emphasizes the importance of meticulously selecting attributes in a software dataset to accurately classify damaged components.In addition,the suggested ensemble learning model successfully addressed the aforementioned problems with software data and produced outstanding classification performance.
