Adaptive Kernel Firefly Algorithm Based Feature Selection and Q-Learner Machine Learning Models in Cloud

CC’s(Cloud Computing)networks are distributed and dynamic as signals appear/disappear or lose significance.MLTs(Machine learning Techniques)train datasets which sometime are inadequate in terms of sample for inferring information.A dynamic strategy,DevMLOps(Development Machine Learning Operations)used in automatic selections and tunings of MLTs result in significant performance differences.But,the scheme has many disadvantages including continuity in training,more samples and training time in feature selections and increased classification execution times.RFEs(Recursive Feature Eliminations)are computationally very expensive in its operations as it traverses through each feature without considering correlations between them.This problem can be overcome by the use of Wrappers as they select better features by accounting for test and train datasets.The aim of this paper is to use DevQLMLOps for automated tuning and selections based on orchestrations and messaging between containers.The proposed AKFA(Adaptive Kernel Firefly Algorithm)is for selecting features for CNM(Cloud Network Monitoring)operations.AKFA methodology is demonstrated using CNSD(Cloud Network Security Dataset)with satisfactory results in the performance metrics like precision,recall,F-measure and accuracy used.

Towards Improving the Intrusion Detection through ELM (Extreme Learning Machine)

An IDS(intrusion detection system)provides a foremost front line mechanism to guard networks,systems,data,and information.That’s why intrusion detection has grown as an active study area and provides significant contribution to cyber-security techniques.Multiple techniques have been in use but major concern in their implementation is variation in their detection performance.The performance of IDS lies in the accurate detection of attacks,and this accuracy can be raised by improving the recognition rate and significant reduction in the false alarms rate.To overcome this problem many researchers have used different machine learning techniques.These techniques have limitations and do not efficiently perform on huge and complex data about systems and networks.This work focused on ELM(Extreme Learning Machine)technique due to its good capabilities in classification problems and dealing with huge data.The ELM has different activation functions,but the problem is to find out which function is more suitable and performs well in IDS.This work investigates this problem.Here,Well-known activation functions like:sine,sigmoid and radial basis are explored,investigated and applied to measure their performance on the GA(Genetic Algorithm)features subset and with full features set.The NSL-KDD dataset is used as a benchmark.The empirical results are analyzed,addressed and compared among different activation functions of the ELM.The results show that the radial basis and sine functions perform better on GA feature set than the full feature set while the performance of the sigmoid function is almost equal on both features sets.So,the proposal of GA based feature selection reduced 21 features out of 41 that brought up to 98%accuracy and enhanced overall efficiency of extreme learning machine in intrusion detection.

Economic Dispatch with High Penetration of Wind Power Using Extreme Learning Machine Assisted Group Search Optimizer with Multiple Producers Considering Upside Potential and Downside Risk

The power system with high penetration of wind power is gradually formed,and it would be difficult to determine the optimal economic dispatch(ED)solution in such an environment with significant uncertainties.This paper proposes a multi-objective ED(MuOED)model,in which the expected generation cost(EGC),upside potential(USP),and downside risk(DSR)are simultaneously considered.The heterogeneous indices of upside potential and downside risk mean the potential economic gains and losses brought by high penetration of wind power,respectively.Then,the MuOED model is formulated as a tri-objective optimization problem,which is related to uncertain multi-criteria decision-making against uncertainties.Afterwards,the tri-objective optimization problem is solved by an extreme learning machine(ELM)assisted group search optimizer with multiple producers(GSOMP).Pareto solutions are obtained to reflect the trade-off among the expected generation cost,the upside potential,and the downside risk.And a fuzzy decision-making method is used to choose the final ED solution.Case studies based on the Midwestern US power system verify the effectiveness of the proposed MuOED model and the developed optimization algorithm.

Extreme learning with chemical reaction optimization for stock volatility prediction

Extreme learning machine(ELM)allows for fast learning and better generalization performance than conventional gradient-based learning.However,the possible inclusion of non-optimal weight and bias due to random selection and the need for more hidden neurons adversely influence network usability.Further,choosing the optimal number of hidden nodes for a network usually requires intensive human intervention,which may lead to an ill-conditioned situation.In this context,chemical reaction optimization(CRO)is a meta-heuristic paradigm with increased success in a large number of application areas.It is characterized by faster convergence capability and requires fewer tunable parameters.This study develops a learning framework combining the advantages of ELM and CRO,called extreme learning with chemical reaction optimization(ELCRO).ELCRO simultaneously optimizes the weight and bias vector and number of hidden neurons of a single layer feed-forward neural network without compromising prediction accuracy.We evaluate its performance by predicting the daily volatility and closing prices of BSE indices.Additionally,its performance is compared with three other similarly developed models—ELM based on particle swarm optimization,genetic algorithm,and gradient descent—and find the performance of the proposed algorithm superior.Wilcoxon signed-rank and Diebold–Mariano tests are then conducted to verify the statistical significance of the proposed model.Hence,this model can be used as a promising tool for financial forecasting.

Dynamic plugging regulating strategy of pipeline robot based on reinforcement learning

Pipeline isolation plugging robot (PIPR) is an important tool in pipeline maintenance operation. During the plugging process, the violent vibration will occur by the flow field, which can cause serious damage to the pipeline and PIPR. In this paper, we propose a dynamic regulating strategy to reduce the plugging-induced vibration by regulating the spoiler angle and plugging velocity. Firstly, the dynamic plugging simulation and experiment are performed to study the flow field changes during dynamic plugging. And the pressure difference is proposed to evaluate the degree of flow field vibration. Secondly, the mathematical models of pressure difference with plugging states and spoiler angles are established based on the extreme learning machine (ELM) optimized by improved sparrow search algorithm (ISSA). Finally, a modified Q-learning algorithm based on simulated annealing is applied to determine the optimal strategy for the spoiler angle and plugging velocity in real time. The results show that the proposed method can reduce the plugging-induced vibration by 19.9% and 32.7% on average, compared with single-regulating methods. This study can effectively ensure the stability of the plugging process.
