Rock mass quality classification based on deep learning:A feasibility study for stacked autoencoders

Objective and accurate evaluation of rock mass quality classification is the prerequisite for reliable sta-bility assessment.To develop a tool that can deliver quick and accurate evaluation of rock mass quality,a deep learning approach is developed,which uses stacked autoencoders(SAEs)with several autoencoders and a softmax net layer.Ten rock parameters of rock mass rating(RMR)system are calibrated in this model.The model is trained using 75%of the total database for training sample data.The SAEs trained model achieves a nearly 100%prediction accuracy.For comparison,other different models are also trained with the same dataset,using artificial neural network(ANN)and radial basis function(RBF).The results show that the SAEs classify all test samples correctly while the rating accuracies of ANN and RBF are 97.5%and 98.7%,repectively,which are calculated from the confusion matrix.Moreover,this model is further employed to predict the slope risk level of an abandoned quarry.The proposed approach using SAEs,or deep learning in general,is more objective and more accurate and requires less human inter-vention.The findings presented here shall shed light for engineers/researchers interested in analyzing rock mass classification criteria or performing field investigation.

Bi-LSTM-Based Deep Stacked Sequence-to-Sequence Autoencoder for Forecasting Solar Irradiation and Wind Speed

Wind and solar energy are two popular forms of renewable energy used in microgrids and facilitating the transition towards net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.However,they are exceedingly unpredictable since they rely highly on weather and atmospheric conditions.In microgrids,smart energy management systems,such as integrated demand response programs,are permanently established on a step-ahead basis,which means that accu-rate forecasting of wind speed and solar irradiance intervals is becoming increasingly crucial to the optimal operation and planning of microgrids.With this in mind,a novel“bidirectional long short-term memory network”(Bi-LSTM)-based,deep stacked,sequence-to-sequence autoencoder(S2SAE)forecasting model for predicting short-term solar irradiation and wind speed was developed and evaluated in MATLAB.To create a deep stacked S2SAE prediction model,a deep Bi-LSTM-based encoder and decoder are stacked on top of one another to reduce the dimension of the input sequence,extract its features,and then reconstruct it to produce the forecasts.Hyperparameters of the proposed deep stacked S2SAE forecasting model were optimized using the Bayesian optimization algorithm.Moreover,the forecasting performance of the proposed Bi-LSTM-based deep stacked S2SAE model was compared to three other deep,and shallow stacked S2SAEs,i.e.,the LSTM-based deep stacked S2SAE model,gated recurrent unit-based deep stacked S2SAE model,and Bi-LSTM-based shallow stacked S2SAE model.All these models were also optimized and modeled in MATLAB.The results simulated based on actual data confirmed that the proposed model outperformed the alternatives by achieving an accuracy of up to 99.7%,which evidenced the high reliability of the proposed forecasting.

A Time Series Intrusion Detection Method Based on SSAE,TCN and Bi-LSTM

In the fast-evolving landscape of digital networks,the incidence of network intrusions has escalated alarmingly.Simultaneously,the crucial role of time series data in intrusion detection remains largely underappreciated,with most systems failing to capture the time-bound nuances of network traffic.This leads to compromised detection accuracy and overlooked temporal patterns.Addressing this gap,we introduce a novel SSAE-TCN-BiLSTM(STL)model that integrates time series analysis,significantly enhancing detection capabilities.Our approach reduces feature dimensionalitywith a Stacked Sparse Autoencoder(SSAE)and extracts temporally relevant features through a Temporal Convolutional Network(TCN)and Bidirectional Long Short-term Memory Network(Bi-LSTM).By meticulously adjusting time steps,we underscore the significance of temporal data in bolstering detection accuracy.On the UNSW-NB15 dataset,ourmodel achieved an F1-score of 99.49%,Accuracy of 99.43%,Precision of 99.38%,Recall of 99.60%,and an inference time of 4.24 s.For the CICDS2017 dataset,we recorded an F1-score of 99.53%,Accuracy of 99.62%,Precision of 99.27%,Recall of 99.79%,and an inference time of 5.72 s.These findings not only confirm the STL model’s superior performance but also its operational efficiency,underpinning its significance in real-world cybersecurity scenarios where rapid response is paramount.Our contribution represents a significant advance in cybersecurity,proposing a model that excels in accuracy and adaptability to the dynamic nature of network traffic,setting a new benchmark for intrusion detection systems.

Iterative learning-based many-objective history matching using deep neural network with stacked autoencoder

This paper presents an innovative data-integration that uses an iterative-learning method,a deep neural network(DNN)coupled with a stacked autoencoder(SAE)to solve issues encountered with many-objective history matching.The proposed method consists of a DNN-based inverse model with SAE-encoded static data and iterative updates of supervised-learning data are based on distance-based clustering schemes.DNN functions as an inverse model and results in encoded flattened data,while SAE,as a pre-trained neural network,successfully reduces dimensionality and reliably reconstructs geomodels.The iterative-learning method can improve the training data for DNN by showing the error reduction achieved with each iteration step.The proposed workflow shows the small mean absolute percentage error below 4%for all objective functions,while a typical multi-objective evolutionary algorithm fails to significantly reduce the initial population uncertainty.Iterative learning-based manyobjective history matching estimates the trends in water cuts that are not reliably included in dynamicdata matching.This confirms the proposed workflow constructs more plausible geo-models.The workflow would be a reliable alternative to overcome the less-convergent Pareto-based multi-objective evolutionary algorithm in the presence of geological uncertainty and varying objective functions.

Recently,Financial Technology(FinTech)has received more attention among financial sectors and researchers to derive effective solutions for any financial institution or firm.Financial crisis prediction(FCP)is an essential topic in business sector that finds it useful to identify the financial condition of a financial institution.At the same time,the development of the internet of things(IoT)has altered the mode of human interaction with the physical world.The IoT can be combined with the FCP model to examine the financial data from the users and perform decision making process.This paper presents a novel multi-objective squirrel search optimization algorithm with stacked autoencoder(MOSSA-SAE)model for FCP in IoT environment.The MOSSA-SAE model encompasses different subprocesses namely preprocessing,class imbalance handling,parameter tuning,and classification.Primarily,the MOSSA-SAE model allows the IoT devices such as smartphones,laptops,etc.,to collect the financial details of the users which are then transmitted to the cloud for further analysis.In addition,SMOTE technique is employed to handle class imbalance problems.The goal of MOSSA in SMOTE is to determine the oversampling rate and area of nearest neighbors of SMOTE.Besides,SAE model is utilized as a classification technique to determine the class label of the financial data.At the same time,the MOSSA is applied to appropriately select the‘weights’and‘bias’values of the SAE.An extensive experimental validation process is performed on the benchmark financial dataset and the results are examined under distinct aspects.The experimental values ensured the superior performance of the MOSSA-SAE model on the applied dataset.

Software Defect Prediction Based on Stacked Contractive Autoencoder and Multi-Objective Optimization

Software defect prediction plays an important role in software quality assurance.However,the performance of the prediction model is susceptible to the irrelevant and redundant features.In addition,previous studies mostly regard software defect prediction as a single objective optimization problem,and multi-objective software defect prediction has not been thoroughly investigated.For the above two reasons,we propose the following solutions in this paper:(1)we leverage an advanced deep neural network-Stacked Contractive AutoEncoder(SCAE)to extract the robust deep semantic features from the original defect features,which has stronger discrimination capacity for different classes(defective or non-defective).(2)we propose a novel multi-objective defect prediction model named SMONGE that utilizes the Multi-Objective NSGAII algorithm to optimize the advanced neural network-Extreme learning machine(ELM)based on state-of-the-art Pareto optimal solutions according to the features extracted by SCAE.We mainly consider two objectives.One objective is to maximize the performance of ELM,which refers to the benefit of the SMONGE model.Another objective is to minimize the output weight norm of ELM,which is related to the cost of the SMONGE model.We compare the SCAE with six state-of-the-art feature extraction methods and compare the SMONGE model with multiple baseline models that contain four classic defect predictors and the MONGE model without SCAE across 20 open source software projects.The experimental results verify that the superiority of SCAE and SMONGE on seven evaluation metrics.

Novel Ensemble Modeling Method for Enhancing Subset Diversity Using Clustering Indicator Vector Based on Stacked Autoencoder

A single model cannot satisfy the high-precision prediction requirements given the high nonlinearity between variables.By contrast,ensemble models can effectively solve this problem.Three key factors for improving the accuracy of ensemble models are namely the high accuracy of a submodel,the diversity between subsample sets and the optimal ensemble method.This study presents an improved ensemble modeling method to improve the prediction precision and generalization capability of the model.Our proposed method first uses a bagging algorithm to generate multiple subsample sets.Second,an indicator vector is defined to describe these subsample sets.Third,subsample sets are selected on the basis of the results of agglomerative nesting clustering on indicator vectors to maximize the diversity between subsets.Subsequently,these subsample sets are placed in a stacked autoencoder for training.Finally,XGBoost algorithm,rather than the traditional simple average ensemble method,is imported to ensemble the model during modeling.Three machine learning public datasets and atmospheric column dry point dataset from a practical industrial process show that our proposed method demonstrates high precision and improved prediction ability.

Secure transmission of images over a communication channel, with limited data transfer capacity, possesses compression and encryption schemes. A deep learning based hybrid image compression-encryption scheme is proposed by combining stacked auto-encoder with the logistic map. The proposed structure of stacked autoencoder has seven multiple layers, and back propagation algorithm is intended to extend vector portrayal of information into lower vector space. The randomly generated key is used to set initial conditions and control parameters of logistic map. Subsequently, compressed image is encrypted by substituting and scrambling of pixel sequences using key stream sequences generated from logistic map.The proposed algorithms are experimentally tested over five standard grayscale images. Compression and encryption efficiency of proposed algorithms are evaluated and analyzed based on peak signal to noise ratio(PSNR), mean square error(MSE), structural similarity index metrics(SSIM) and statistical,differential, entropy analysis respectively. Simulation results show that proposed algorithms provide high quality reconstructed images with excellent levels of security during transmission..

Data Cleaning Based on Stacked Denoising Autoencoders and Multi-Sensor Collaborations

Wireless sensor networks are increasingly used in sensitive event monitoring.However,various abnormal data generated by sensors greatly decrease the accuracy of the event detection.Although many methods have been proposed to deal with the abnormal data,they generally detect and/or repair all abnormal data without further differentiate.Actually,besides the abnormal data caused by events,it is well known that sensor nodes prone to generate abnormal data due to factors such as sensor hardware drawbacks and random effects of external sources.Dealing with all abnormal data without differentiate will result in false detection or missed detection of the events.In this paper,we propose a data cleaning approach based on Stacked Denoising Autoencoders(SDAE)and multi-sensor collaborations.We detect all abnormal data by SDAE,then differentiate the abnormal data by multi-sensor collaborations.The abnormal data caused by events are unchanged,while the abnormal data caused by other factors are repaired.Real data based simulations show the efficiency of the proposed approach.

In order to improve the condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of wind turbines,a stacked noise reduction autoencoding network based on group normalization is proposed in this paper.The network is based on SCADA data of wind turbine operation,firstly,the group normalization(GN)algorithm is added to solve the problems of stack noise reduction autoencoding network training and slow convergence speed,and the RMSProp algorithm is used to update the weight and the bias of the autoenccoder,which further optimizes the problem that the loss function swings too much during the update process.Finally,in the last layer of the network,the softmax activation function is used to classify the results,and the output of the network is transformed into a probability distribution.The selected wind turbine SCADA data was substituted into the pre-improved and improved stacked denoising autoencoding(SDA)networks for comparative training and verification.The results show that the stacked denoising autoencoding network based on group normalization is more accurate and effective for wind turbine condition monitoring and fault diagnosis,and also provides a reference for wind turbine fault identification.
