DCEL:classifier fusion model for Android malware detection

The rapid growth of mobile applications,the popularity of the Android system and its openness have attracted many hackers and even criminals,who are creating lots of Android malware.However,the current methods of Android malware detection need a lot of time in the feature engineering phase.Furthermore,these models have the defects of low detection rate,high complexity,and poor practicability,etc.We analyze the Android malware samples,and the distribution of malware and benign software in application programming interface(API)calls,permissions,and other attributes.We classify the software’s threat levels based on the correlation of features.Then,we propose deep neural networks and convolutional neural networks with ensemble learning(DCEL),a new classifier fusion model for Android malware detection.First,DCEL preprocesses the malware data to remove redundant data,and converts the one-dimensional data into a two-dimensional gray image.Then,the ensemble learning approach is used to combine the deep neural network with the convolutional neural network,and the final classification results are obtained by voting on the prediction of each single classifier.Experiments based on the Drebin and Malgenome datasets show that compared with current state-of-art models,the proposed DCEL has a higher detection rate,higher recall rate,and lower computational cost.

As a virtual representation of a specific physical asset,the digital twin has great potential for realizing the life cycle maintenance management of a dynamic system.Nevertheless,the dynamic stress concentration is generated since the state of the dynamic system changes over time.This generation of dynamic stress concentration has hindered the exploitation of the digital twin to reflect the dynamic behaviors of systems in practical engineering applications.In this context,this paper is interested in achieving real-time performance prediction of dynamic systems by developing a new digital twin framework that includes simulation data,measuring data,multi-level fusion modeling(M-LFM),visualization techniques,and fatigue analysis.To leverage its capacity,the M-LFM method combines the advantages of different surrogate models and integrates simulation and measured data,which can improve the prediction accuracy of dynamic stress concentration.A telescopic boom crane is used as an example to verify the proposed framework for stress prediction and fatigue analysis of the complex dynamic system.The results show that the M-LFM method has better performance in the computational efficiency and calculation accuracy of the stress prediction compared with the polynomial response surface method and the kriging method.In other words,the proposed framework can leverage the advantages of digital twins in a dynamic system:damage monitoring,safety assessment,and other aspects and then promote the development of digital twins in industrial fields.

A life-prediction method for lithium-ion batteries based on a fusion model and an attention mechanism

The current life-prediction models for lithium-ion batteries have several problems, such as the construction of complex feature structures, a high number of feature dimensions, and inaccurate prediction results. To overcome these problems, this paper proposes a deep-learning model combining an autoencoder network and a long short-term memory network. First, this model applies the characteristics of the autoencoder to reduce the dimensionality of the high-dimensional features extracted from the battery data set and realize the fusion of complex time-domain features, which overcomes the problems of redundant model information and low computational efficiency. This model then uses a long short-term memory network that is sensitive to time-series data to solve the long-path dependence problem in the prediction of battery life. Lastly, the attention mechanism is used to give greater weight to features that have a greater impact on the target value, which enhances the learning effect of the model on the long input sequence. To verify the efficacy of the proposed model, this paper uses NASA's lithium-ion battery cycle life data set.

In order to meet the demand of testability analysis and evaluation for complex equipment under a small sample test in the equipment life cycle, the hierarchical hybrid testability model- ing and evaluation method （HHTME）, which combines the testabi- lity structure model （TSM） with the testability Bayesian networks model （TBNM）, is presented.

An Information Fusion Model of Innovation Alliances Based on the Bayesian Network

To solve the problem of information fusion from multiple sources in innovation alliances, an information fusion model based on the Bayesian network is presented. The multi-source information fusion process of innovation alliances was classified into three layers, namely, the information perception layer, the feature clustering layer,and the decision fusion layer. The agencies in the alliance were defined as sensors through which information is perceived and obtained, and the features were clustered. Finally, various types of information were fused by the innovation alliance based on the fusion algorithm to achieve complete and comprehensive information. The model was applied to a study on economic information prediction, where the accuracy of the fusion results was higher than that from a single source and the errors obtained were also smaller with the MPE less than 3%, which demonstrates the proposed fusion method is more effective and reasonable. This study provides a reasonable basis for decision-making of innovation alliances.

COMBINING SCENE MODEL AND FUSION FOR NIGHT VIDEO ENHANCEMENT

This paper presents a video context enhancement method for night surveillance. The basic idea is to extract and fuse the meaningful information of video sequence captured from a fixed camera under different illuminations. A unique characteristic of the algorithm is to separate the image context into two classes and estimate them in different ways. One class contains basic surrounding scene in- formation and scene model, which is obtained via background modeling and object tracking in daytime video sequence. The other class is extracted from nighttime video, including frequently moving region, high illumination region and high gradient region. The scene model and pixel-wise difference method are used to segment the three regions. A shift-invariant discrete wavelet based image fusion technique is used to integral all those context information in the final result. Experiment results demonstrate that the proposed approach can provide much more details and meaningful information for nighttime video.

Nucleon-nucleon interactions in the double folding model for fusion reactions

Nucleus-nucleus potentials are determined in the framework of double folding model for M3Y-Reid and M3Y- Paris effective nucleon-nucleon （NN） interactions. Both zero-range and finite-range exchange parts of NN interactions are considered in the folding procedure. In this paper the spherical projectile-spherical target system 16O＋^2008Pb is selected for calculating the barrier energies, fusion cross sections and barrier distributions with the density-independent and density-dependent NN interactions on the basis of M3Y-Reid and M3Y Paris NN interactions. The barrier energies become lower for Paris NN interactions in comparison with Reid NN interactions, and also for finite-range exchange part in comparison with zero-range exchange part. The density-dependent NN interactions give similar fusion cross sections and barrier distributions, and the density-independent NN interaction causes the barrier distribution moving to a higher position. However, the density-independent Reid NN interaction with zero-range exchange part gives the lowest fusion cross sections. We find that the calculated fusion cross sections and the barrier distributions are in agreement with the experimental data after renormalization of the nuclear potential due to coupled-channel effect.
