Fault Diagnosis Based on Fuzzy Support Vector Machine with Parameter Tuning and Feature Selection

This study describes a classification methodology based on support vector machines(SVMs),which offer superior classification performance for fault diagnosis in chemical process engineering.The method incorporates an efficient parameter tuning procedure(based on minimization of radius/margin bound for SVM's leave-one-out errors)into a multi-class classification strategy using a fuzzy decision factor,which is named fuzzy support vector machine(FSVM).The datasets generated from the Tennessee Eastman process(TEP)simulator were used to evaluate the clas-sification performance.To decrease the negative influence of the auto-correlated and irrelevant variables,a key vari-able identification procedure using recursive feature elimination,based on the SVM is implemented,with time lags incorporated,before every classifier is trained,and the number of relatively important variables to every classifier is basically determined by 10-fold cross-validation.Performance comparisons are implemented among several kinds of multi-class decision machines,by which the effectiveness of the proposed approach is proved.

Controller Parameter Tuning of Delta Robot Based on Servo Identification

High-speed pick-and-place parallel robot is a system where the inertia imposed on the motor shafts is real-time changing with the system configurations.High quality of computer control with proper controller parameters is conducive to overcoming this problem and has a significant effect on reducing the robot＇s tracking error.By taking Delta robot as an example,a method for parameter tuning of the fixed gain motion controller is presented.Having identifying the parameters of the servo system in the frequency domain by the sinusoidal excitation,the PD＋feedforward control strategy is proposed to adapt to the varying inertia loads,allowing the controller parameters to be tuned by minimizing the mean square tracking error along a typical trajectory.A set of optimum parameters is obtained through computer simulations and the effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated by experiments on a real prototype machine.Let the traveling plate undergoes a specific trajectory and the results show that the tracking error can be reduced by at least 50%in comparison with the conventional auto-tuning and Z-N methods.The proposed approach is a whole workspace optimization and can be applied to the parameter tuning of fixed gain motion controllers.

Parameter Tuning Method for Dither Compensation of a Pneumatic Proportional Valve with Friction

In the practical application of pneumatic control devices, the nonlinearity of a pneumatic control valve become the main factor affecting the control effect, which comes mainly from the dynamic friction force. The dynamic friction inside the valve may cause hysteresis and a dead zone. In this paper, a dither compensation mechanism is proposed to reduce negative effects on the basis of analyzing the mechanism of friction force. The specific dither signal（using a sinusoidal signal） was superimposed on the control signal of the valve. Based on the relationship between the parameters of the dither signal and the inherent characteristics of the proportional servo valve, a parameter tuning method was proposed, which uses a displacement sensor to measure the maximum static friction inside the valve. According to the experimental results, the proper amplitude ranges are determined for different pressures. In order to get the optimal parameters of the dither signal, some dither compensation experiments have been carried out on different signal amplitude and gas pressure conditions. Optimal parameters are determined under two kinds of pressure conditions. Using tuning parameters the valve spool displacement experiment has been taken. From the experiment results, hysteresis of the proportional servo valve is significantly reduced. And through simulation and experiments, the cut-off frequency of the proportional valve has also been widened. Therefore after adding the dither signal, the static and dynamic characteristics of the proportional valve are both improved to a certain degree. This research proposes a parameter tuning method of dither signal, and the validity of the method is verified experimentally.

Proportion integral-type active disturbance rejection generalized predictive control for distillation process based on grey wolf optimization parameter tuning

The high-purity distillation column system is strongly nonlinear and coupled,which makes it difficult to control.Active disturbance rejection control(ADRC)has been widely used in distillation systems,but it has limitations in controlling distillation systems with large time delays since ADRC employs ESO and feedback control law to estimate the total disturbance of the system without considering the large time delays.This paper designs a proportion integral-type active disturbance rejection generalized predictive control(PI-ADRGPC)algorithm to control the distillation column system with large time delay.It replaces the PD controller in ADRC with a proportion integral-type generalized predictive control(PI-GPC),thereby improving the performance of control systems with large time delays.Since the proposed controller has many parameters and is difficult to tune,this paper proposes to use the grey wolf optimization(GWO)to tune these parameters,whose structure can also be used by other intelligent optimization algorithms.The performance of GWO tuned PI-ADRGPC is compared with the control performance of GWO tuned ADRC method,multi-verse optimizer(MVO)tuned PI-ADRGPC and MVO tuned ADRC.The simulation results show that the proposed strategy can track reference well and has a good disturbance rejection performance.

Based on the evaluation of dynamic performance for feed drives in machine tools, this paper presents a two-stage tuning method of servo parameters. In the first stage, the evaluation of dynamic performance, parameter tuning and optimization on a mechatronic integrated system simulation platform of feed drives are performed.

A case study shows that this method simplifies the test process effectively and results in a good dynamic performance in a real machine tool.

The text classification process has been extensively investigated in various languages,especially English.Text classification models are vital in several Natural Language Processing(NLP)applications.The Arabic language has a lot of significance.For instance,it is the fourth mostly-used language on the internet and the sixth official language of theUnitedNations.However,there are few studies on the text classification process in Arabic.A few text classification studies have been published earlier in the Arabic language.In general,researchers face two challenges in the Arabic text classification process:low accuracy and high dimensionality of the features.In this study,an Automated Arabic Text Classification using Hyperparameter Tuned Hybrid Deep Learning(AATC-HTHDL)model is proposed.The major goal of the proposed AATC-HTHDL method is to identify different class labels for the Arabic text.The first step in the proposed model is to pre-process the input data to transform it into a useful format.The Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency(TF-IDF)model is applied to extract the feature vectors.Next,the Convolutional Neural Network with Recurrent Neural Network(CRNN)model is utilized to classify the Arabic text.In the final stage,the Crow Search Algorithm(CSA)is applied to fine-tune the CRNN model’s hyperparameters,showing the work’s novelty.The proposed AATCHTHDL model was experimentally validated under different parameters and the outcomes established the supremacy of the proposed AATC-HTHDL model over other approaches.

Parameter-induced stochastic resonance with a periodic signal

In this paper conventional stochastic resonance （CSR） is realized by adding the noise intensity. This demonstrates that tuning the system parameters with fixed noise can make the noise play a constructive role and realize parameter- induced stochastic resonance （PSR）. PSR can be interpreted as changing the intrinsic characteristic of the dynamical system to yield the cooperative effect between the stochastic-subjected nonlinear system and the external periodic force. This can be realized at any noise intensity, which greatly differs from CSR that is realized under the condition of the initial noise intensity not greater than the resonance level. Moreover, it is proved that PSR is different from the optimization of system parameters.

Evidence of parameter-induced aperiodic stochastic resonance with fixed noise

Stochastic resonance （SR） is based on the cooperative effect between the stochastic dynamical system and the external forcing. As is well known, the cooperative effect is produced by adding noises. In this paper, we show the evidence that by changing the system parameters and the signal intensity, a nonlinear system in the presence of an input aperiodic signal can yield the cooperative effect, with the noise fixed. To quantify the nonlinear system output, we determine the theoretical bit error rate （BER）. By numerical simulation, the validity of the theoretical derivation is checked. Besides, we show that parameter-induced SR is more realizable than SR via adding noises, especially when the noise intensity exceeds the resonance level, or when the characteristic of the noise is not known.

Refined Anam-Net:Lightweight Deep Learning Model for Improved Segmentation Performance of Optic Cup and Disc for Glaucoma Diagnosis

In this work,we aim to introduce some modifications to the Anam-Net deep neural network(DNN)model for segmenting optic cup(OC)and optic disc(OD)in retinal fundus images to estimate the cup-to-disc ratio(CDR).The CDR is a reliable measure for the early diagnosis of Glaucoma.In this study,we developed a lightweight DNN model for OC and OD segmentation in retinal fundus images.Our DNN model is based on modifications to Anam-Net,incorporating an anamorphic depth embedding block.To reduce computational complexity,we employ a fixed filter size for all convolution layers in the encoder and decoder stages as the network deepens.This modification significantly reduces the number of trainable parameters,making the model lightweight and suitable for resource-constrained applications.We evaluate the performance of the developed model using two publicly available retinal image databases,namely RIM-ONE and Drishti-GS.The results demonstrate promising OC segmentation performance across most standard evaluation metrics while achieving analogous results for OD segmentation.We used two retinal fundus image databases named RIM-ONE and Drishti-GS that contained 159 images and 101 retinal images,respectively.For OD segmentation using the RIM-ONE we obtain an f1-score(F1),Jaccard coefficient(JC),and overlapping error(OE)of 0.950,0.9219,and 0.0781,respectively.Similarly,for OC segmentation using the same databases,we achieve scores of 0.8481(F1),0.7428(JC),and 0.2572(OE).Based on these experimental results and the significantly lower number of trainable parameters,we conclude that the developed model is highly suitable for the early diagnosis of glaucoma by accurately estimating the CDR.

IMC-PID tuning method based on sensitivity specification for process with time-delay

To overcome the deficiencies addressed in the conventional PID control and improve the dynamic performance and robustness of the system, a simple design and parameters tuning approach of internal model control-PID （IMC-PID） controller was proposed for the first order plus time-delay （FOPTD） process and the second order plus time-delay （SOPTD） process. By approximating the time-delay term of the process model with the first-order Taylor series, the expressions for IMC-PID controller parameters were derived, and they had only one adjustable parameter 2 which was directly related to the dynamic performance and robustness of the system. Moreover, an analytical approach of selecting 2 was given based on the maximum sensitivity Ms. Then, the robust tuning of the system could be achieved according to the value of Ms. In addition, the proposed method could be extended to the integrator plus time-delay （IPTD） process and the first order delay integrating （FODI） process. Simulation studies were carried out on various processes with time-delay, and the results show that the proposed method could provide a better dynamic performance of both the set-point tracking and disturbance rejection and robustness against parameters perturbation.

Adaptive Parallel Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm Based on Dynamic Exchange of Control Parameters

Updating the velocity in particle swarm optimization (PSO) consists of three terms: the inertia term, the cognitive term and the social term. The balance of these terms determines the balance of the global and local search abilities, and therefore the performance of PSO. In this work, an adaptive parallel PSO algorithm, which is based on the dynamic exchange of control parameters between adjacent swarms, has been developed. The proposed PSO algorithm enables us to adaptively optimize inertia factors, learning factors and swarm activity. By performing simulations of a search for the global minimum of a benchmark multimodal function, we have found that the proposed PSO successfully provides appropriate control parameter values, and thus good global optimization performance.

The Analysis of Peculiar Control Parameters of Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm on the Numerical Optimization Problems

Artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is one of the popular swarm intelligence algorithms. ABC has been developed by being inspired foraging and waggle dance behaviors of real bee colonies in 2005. Since its invention in 2005, many ABC models have been proposed in order to solve different optimization problems. In all the models proposed, there are only one scout bee and a constant limit value used as control parameters for the bee population. In this study, the performance of ABC algorithm on the numeric optimization problems was analyzed by using different number of scout bees and limit values. Experimental results show that the results obtained by using more than one scout bee and different limit values, are better than the results of basic ABC. Therefore, the control parameters of the basic ABC should be tuned according to given class of optimization problems. In this paper, we propose reasonable value ranges of control parameters for the basic ABC in order to obtain better results on the numeric optimization problems.
