Such predictions are used to identify defective modules before the testing and to minimize the time and cost. The software with defects negatively impacts operational costs and finally affects customer satisfaction. Numerous approaches exist to predict software defects. However, the timely and accurate software bugs are the major challenging issues. To improve the timely and accurate software defect prediction, a novel technique called Nonparametric Statistical feature scaled QuAdratic regressive convolution Deep nEural Network (SQADEN) is introduced. The proposed SQADEN technique mainly includes two major processes namely metric or feature selection and classification. First, the SQADEN uses the nonparametric statistical Torgerson–Gower scaling technique for identifying the relevant software metrics by measuring the similarity using the dice coefficient. The feature selection process is used to minimize the time complexity of software fault prediction. With the selected metrics, software fault perdition with the help of the Quadratic Censored regressive convolution deep neural network-based classification. The deep learning classifier analyzes the training and testing samples using the contingency correlation coefficient. The softstep activation function is used to provide the final fault prediction results. To minimize the error, the Nelder–Mead method is applied to solve non-linear least-squares problems. Finally, accurate classification results with a minimum error are obtained at the output layer. Experimental evaluation is carried out with different quantitative metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, F-measure, and time complexity. The analyzed results demonstrate the superior performance of our proposed SQADEN technique with maximum accuracy, sensitivity and specificity by 3%, 3%, 2% and 3% and minimum time and space by 13% and 15% when compared with the two state-of-the-art methods.展开更多

Fruit diseases affect not only the quality but also the quantity.As a result, it is possible to detect the disease early on and cure the fruitsusing computer-based techniques. However, computer-based methods faceseveral challenges, including low contrast, a lack of dataset for training amodel, and inappropriate feature extraction for final classification. In thispaper, we proposed an automated framework for detecting apple fruit leafdiseases usingCNNand a hybrid optimization algorithm. Data augmentationis performed initially to balance the selected apple dataset. After that, twopre-trained deep models are fine-tuning and trained using transfer learning.Then, a fusion technique is proposed named Parallel Correlation Threshold(PCT). The fused feature vector is optimized in the next step using a hybridoptimization algorithm. The selected features are finally classified usingmachine learning algorithms. Four different experiments have been carriedout on the augmented Plant Village dataset and yielded the best accuracy of99.8%. The accuracy of the proposed framework is also compared to that ofseveral neural nets, and it outperforms them all.展开更多

Deepfake media are often used to extort, defame, and manipulate public opinion. However, despite deepfake technology’s risks, current deepfake detection methods lack generalization and are inconsistent when applied to unknown videos, i.e., videos on which they have not been trained. The purpose of this study is to develop a generalizable deepfake detection model by training convoluted neural networks (CNNs) to classify human facial features in videos. The study formulated the research questions: “How effectively does the developed model provide reliable generalizations?” A CNN model was trained to distinguish between real and fake videos using the facial features of human subjects in videos. The model was trained, validated, and tested using the FaceForensiq++ dataset, which contains more than 500,000 frames and subsets of the DFDC dataset, totaling more than 22,000 videos. The study demonstrated high generalizability, as the accuracy of the unknown dataset was only marginally (about 1%) lower than that of the known dataset. The findings of this study indicate that detection systems can be more generalizable, lighter, and faster by focusing on just a small region (the human face) of an entire video.展开更多

文摘Olive trees are susceptible to a variety of diseases that can cause significant crop damage and economic losses.Early detection of these diseases is essential for effective management.We propose a novel transformed wavelet,feature-fused,pre-trained deep learning model for detecting olive leaf diseases.The proposed model combines wavelet transforms with pre-trained deep-learning models to extract discriminative features from olive leaf images.The model has four main phases:preprocessing using data augmentation,three-level wavelet transformation,learning using pre-trained deep learning models,and a fused deep learning model.In the preprocessing phase,the image dataset is augmented using techniques such as resizing,rescaling,flipping,rotation,zooming,and contrasting.In wavelet transformation,the augmented images are decomposed into three frequency levels.Three pre-trained deep learning models,EfficientNet-B7,DenseNet-201,and ResNet-152-V2,are used in the learning phase.The models were trained using the approximate images of the third-level sub-band of the wavelet transform.In the fused phase,the fused model consists of a merge layer,three dense layers,and two dropout layers.The proposed model was evaluated using a dataset of images of healthy and infected olive leaves.It achieved an accuracy of 99.72%in the diagnosis of olive leaf diseases,which exceeds the accuracy of other methods reported in the literature.This finding suggests that our proposed method is a promising tool for the early detection of olive leaf diseases.
文摘With the popularisation of intelligent power,power devices have different shapes,numbers and specifications.This means that the power data has distributional variability,the model learning process cannot achieve sufficient extraction of data features,which seriously affects the accuracy and performance of anomaly detection.Therefore,this paper proposes a deep learning-based anomaly detection model for power data,which integrates a data alignment enhancement technique based on random sampling and an adaptive feature fusion method leveraging dimension reduction.Aiming at the distribution variability of power data,this paper developed a sliding window-based data adjustment method for this model,which solves the problem of high-dimensional feature noise and low-dimensional missing data.To address the problem of insufficient feature fusion,an adaptive feature fusion method based on feature dimension reduction and dictionary learning is proposed to improve the anomaly data detection accuracy of the model.In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method,we conducted effectiveness comparisons through elimination experiments.The experimental results show that compared with the traditional anomaly detection methods,the method proposed in this paper not only has an advantage in model accuracy,but also reduces the amount of parameter calculation of the model in the process of feature matching and improves the detection speed.
文摘Machine Learning(ML)algorithms play a pivotal role in Speech Emotion Recognition(SER),although they encounter a formidable obstacle in accurately discerning a speaker’s emotional state.The examination of the emotional states of speakers holds significant importance in a range of real-time applications,including but not limited to virtual reality,human-robot interaction,emergency centers,and human behavior assessment.Accurately identifying emotions in the SER process relies on extracting relevant information from audio inputs.Previous studies on SER have predominantly utilized short-time characteristics such as Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients(MFCCs)due to their ability to capture the periodic nature of audio signals effectively.Although these traits may improve their ability to perceive and interpret emotional depictions appropriately,MFCCS has some limitations.So this study aims to tackle the aforementioned issue by systematically picking multiple audio cues,enhancing the classifier model’s efficacy in accurately discerning human emotions.The utilized dataset is taken from the EMO-DB database,preprocessing input speech is done using a 2D Convolution Neural Network(CNN)involves applying convolutional operations to spectrograms as they afford a visual representation of the way the audio signal frequency content changes over time.The next step is the spectrogram data normalization which is crucial for Neural Network(NN)training as it aids in faster convergence.Then the five auditory features MFCCs,Chroma,Mel-Spectrogram,Contrast,and Tonnetz are extracted from the spectrogram sequentially.The attitude of feature selection is to retain only dominant features by excluding the irrelevant ones.In this paper,the Sequential Forward Selection(SFS)and Sequential Backward Selection(SBS)techniques were employed for multiple audio cues features selection.Finally,the feature sets composed from the hybrid feature extraction methods are fed into the deep Bidirectional Long Short Term Memory(Bi-LSTM)network to discern emotions.Since the deep Bi-LSTM can hierarchically learn complex features and increases model capacity by achieving more robust temporal modeling,it is more effective than a shallow Bi-LSTM in capturing the intricate tones of emotional content existent in speech signals.The effectiveness and resilience of the proposed SER model were evaluated by experiments,comparing it to state-of-the-art SER techniques.The results indicated that the model achieved accuracy rates of 90.92%,93%,and 92%over the Ryerson Audio-Visual Database of Emotional Speech and Song(RAVDESS),Berlin Database of Emotional Speech(EMO-DB),and The Interactive Emotional Dyadic Motion Capture(IEMOCAP)datasets,respectively.These findings signify a prominent enhancement in the ability to emotional depictions identification in speech,showcasing the potential of the proposed model in advancing the SER field.

文摘Conventional machine learning(CML)methods have been successfully applied for gas reservoir prediction.Their prediction accuracy largely depends on the quality of the sample data;therefore,feature optimization of the input samples is particularly important.Commonly used feature optimization methods increase the interpretability of gas reservoirs;however,their steps are cumbersome,and the selected features cannot sufficiently guide CML models to mine the intrinsic features of sample data efficiently.In contrast to CML methods,deep learning(DL)methods can directly extract the important features of targets from raw data.Therefore,this study proposes a feature optimization and gas-bearing prediction method based on a hybrid fusion model that combines a convolutional neural network(CNN)and an adaptive particle swarm optimization-least squares support vector machine(APSO-LSSVM).This model adopts an end-to-end algorithm structure to directly extract features from sensitive multicomponent seismic attributes,considerably simplifying the feature optimization.A CNN was used for feature optimization to highlight sensitive gas reservoir information.APSO-LSSVM was used to fully learn the relationship between the features extracted by the CNN to obtain the prediction results.The constructed hybrid fusion model improves gas-bearing prediction accuracy through two processes of feature optimization and intelligent prediction,giving full play to the advantages of DL and CML methods.The prediction results obtained are better than those of a single CNN model or APSO-LSSVM model.In the feature optimization process of multicomponent seismic attribute data,CNN has demonstrated better gas reservoir feature extraction capabilities than commonly used attribute optimization methods.In the prediction process,the APSO-LSSVM model can learn the gas reservoir characteristics better than the LSSVM model and has a higher prediction accuracy.The constructed CNN-APSO-LSSVM model had lower errors and a better fit on the test dataset than the other individual models.This method proves the effectiveness of DL technology for the feature extraction of gas reservoirs and provides a feasible way to combine DL and CML technologies to predict gas reservoirs.
文摘The development of defect prediction plays a significant role in improving software quality. Such predictions are used to identify defective modules before the testing and to minimize the time and cost. The software with defects negatively impacts operational costs and finally affects customer satisfaction. Numerous approaches exist to predict software defects. However, the timely and accurate software bugs are the major challenging issues. To improve the timely and accurate software defect prediction, a novel technique called Nonparametric Statistical feature scaled QuAdratic regressive convolution Deep nEural Network (SQADEN) is introduced. The proposed SQADEN technique mainly includes two major processes namely metric or feature selection and classification. First, the SQADEN uses the nonparametric statistical Torgerson–Gower scaling technique for identifying the relevant software metrics by measuring the similarity using the dice coefficient. The feature selection process is used to minimize the time complexity of software fault prediction. With the selected metrics, software fault perdition with the help of the Quadratic Censored regressive convolution deep neural network-based classification. The deep learning classifier analyzes the training and testing samples using the contingency correlation coefficient. The softstep activation function is used to provide the final fault prediction results. To minimize the error, the Nelder–Mead method is applied to solve non-linear least-squares problems. Finally, accurate classification results with a minimum error are obtained at the output layer. Experimental evaluation is carried out with different quantitative metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, F-measure, and time complexity. The analyzed results demonstrate the superior performance of our proposed SQADEN technique with maximum accuracy, sensitivity and specificity by 3%, 3%, 2% and 3% and minimum time and space by 13% and 15% when compared with the two state-of-the-art methods.

文摘Identifying fruit disease manually is time-consuming, expertrequired,and expensive;thus, a computer-based automated system is widelyrequired. Fruit diseases affect not only the quality but also the quantity.As a result, it is possible to detect the disease early on and cure the fruitsusing computer-based techniques. However, computer-based methods faceseveral challenges, including low contrast, a lack of dataset for training amodel, and inappropriate feature extraction for final classification. In thispaper, we proposed an automated framework for detecting apple fruit leafdiseases usingCNNand a hybrid optimization algorithm. Data augmentationis performed initially to balance the selected apple dataset. After that, twopre-trained deep models are fine-tuning and trained using transfer learning.Then, a fusion technique is proposed named Parallel Correlation Threshold(PCT). The fused feature vector is optimized in the next step using a hybridoptimization algorithm. The selected features are finally classified usingmachine learning algorithms. Four different experiments have been carriedout on the augmented Plant Village dataset and yielded the best accuracy of99.8%. The accuracy of the proposed framework is also compared to that ofseveral neural nets, and it outperforms them all.

文摘Gait recognition is an active research area that uses a walking theme to identify the subject correctly.Human Gait Recognition(HGR)is performed without any cooperation from the individual.However,in practice,it remains a challenging task under diverse walking sequences due to the covariant factors such as normal walking and walking with wearing a coat.Researchers,over the years,have worked on successfully identifying subjects using different techniques,but there is still room for improvement in accuracy due to these covariant factors.This paper proposes an automated model-free framework for human gait recognition in this article.There are a few critical steps in the proposed method.Firstly,optical flow-based motion region esti-mation and dynamic coordinates-based cropping are performed.The second step involves training a fine-tuned pre-trained MobileNetV2 model on both original and optical flow cropped frames;the training has been conducted using static hyperparameters.The third step proposed a fusion technique known as normal distribution serially fusion.In the fourth step,a better optimization algorithm is applied to select the best features,which are then classified using a Bi-Layered neural network.Three publicly available datasets,CASIA A,CASIA B,and CASIA C,were used in the experimental process and obtained average accuracies of 99.6%,91.6%,and 95.02%,respectively.The proposed framework has achieved improved accuracy compared to the other methods.

文摘Human gait recognition(HGR)is the process of identifying a sub-ject(human)based on their walking pattern.Each subject is a unique walking pattern and cannot be simulated by other subjects.But,gait recognition is not easy and makes the system difficult if any object is carried by a subject,such as a bag or coat.This article proposes an automated architecture based on deep features optimization for HGR.To our knowledge,it is the first architecture in which features are fused using multiset canonical correlation analysis(MCCA).In the proposed method,original video frames are processed for all 11 selected angles of the CASIA B dataset and utilized to train two fine-tuned deep learning models such as Squeezenet and Efficientnet.Deep transfer learning was used to train both fine-tuned models on selected angles,yielding two new targeted models that were later used for feature engineering.Features are extracted from the deep layer of both fine-tuned models and fused into one vector using MCCA.An improved manta ray foraging optimization algorithm is also proposed to select the best features from the fused feature matrix and classified using a narrow neural network classifier.The experimental process was conducted on all 11 angles of the large multi-view gait dataset(CASIA B)dataset and obtained improved accuracy than the state-of-the-art techniques.Moreover,a detailed confidence interval based analysis also shows the effectiveness of the proposed architecture for HGR.

文摘Manual diagnosis of brain tumors usingmagnetic resonance images(MRI)is a hectic process and time-consuming.Also,it always requires an expert person for the diagnosis.Therefore,many computer-controlled methods for diagnosing and classifying brain tumors have been introduced in the literature.This paper proposes a novel multimodal brain tumor classification framework based on two-way deep learning feature extraction and a hybrid feature optimization algorithm.NasNet-Mobile,a pre-trained deep learning model,has been fine-tuned and twoway trained on original and enhancedMRI images.The haze-convolutional neural network(haze-CNN)approach is developed and employed on the original images for contrast enhancement.Next,transfer learning(TL)is utilized for training two-way fine-tuned models and extracting feature vectors from the global average pooling layer.Then,using a multiset canonical correlation analysis(CCA)method,features of both deep learning models are fused into a single feature matrix—this technique aims to enhance the information in terms of features for better classification.Although the information was increased,computational time also jumped.This issue is resolved using a hybrid feature optimization algorithm that chooses the best classification features.The experiments were done on two publicly available datasets—BraTs2018 and BraTs2019—and yielded accuracy rates of 94.8%and 95.7%,respectively.The proposedmethod is comparedwith several recent studies andoutperformed inaccuracy.In addition,we analyze the performance of each middle step of the proposed approach and find the selection technique strengthens the proposed framework.
文摘In 2020,COVID-19 started spreading throughout the world.This deadly infection was identified as a virus that may affect the lungs and,in severe cases,could be the cause of death.The polymerase chain reaction(PCR)test is commonly used to detect this virus through the nasal passage or throat.However,the PCR test exposes health workers to this deadly virus.To limit human exposure while detecting COVID-19,image processing techniques using deep learning have been successfully applied.In this paper,a strategy based on deep learning is employed to classify the COVID-19 virus.To extract features,two deep learning models have been used,the DenseNet201 and the SqueezeNet.Transfer learning is used in feature extraction,and models are fine-tuned.A publicly available computerized tomography(CT)scan dataset has been used in this study.The extracted features from the deep learning models are optimized using the Ant Colony Optimization algorithm.The proposed technique is validated through multiple evaluation parameters.Several classifiers have been employed to classify the optimized features.The cubic support vector machine(Cubic SVM)classifier shows superiority over other commonly used classifiers and attained an accuracy of 98.72%.The proposed technique achieves state-of-the-art accuracy,a sensitivity of 98.80%,and a specificity of 96.64%.

文摘In healthcare sector,image classification is one of the crucial problems that impact the quality output from image processing domain.The purpose of image classification is to categorize different healthcare images under various class labels which in turn helps in the detection and management of diseases.Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI)is one of the effective non-invasive strate-gies that generate a huge and distinct number of tissue contrasts in every imaging modality.This technique is commonly utilized by healthcare professionals for Brain Tumor(BT)diagnosis.With recent advancements in Machine Learning(ML)and Deep Learning(DL)models,it is possible to detect the tumor from images automatically,using a computer-aided design.The current study focuses on the design of automated Deep Learning-based BT Detection and Classification model using MRI images(DLBTDC-MRI).The proposed DLBTDC-MRI techni-que aims at detecting and classifying different stages of BT.The proposed DLBTDC-MRI technique involves medianfiltering technique to remove the noise and enhance the quality of MRI images.Besides,morphological operations-based image segmentation approach is also applied to determine the BT-affected regions in brain MRI image.Moreover,a fusion of handcrafted deep features using VGGNet is utilized to derive a valuable set of feature vectors.Finally,Artificial Fish Swarm Optimization(AFSO)with Artificial Neural Network(ANN)model is utilized as a classifier to decide the presence of BT.In order to assess the enhanced BT classification performance of the proposed model,a comprehensive set of simulations was performed on benchmark dataset and the results were vali-dated under several measures.
文摘Deepfake technology can be used to replace people’s faces in videos or pictures to show them saying or doing things they never said or did. Deepfake media are often used to extort, defame, and manipulate public opinion. However, despite deepfake technology’s risks, current deepfake detection methods lack generalization and are inconsistent when applied to unknown videos, i.e., videos on which they have not been trained. The purpose of this study is to develop a generalizable deepfake detection model by training convoluted neural networks (CNNs) to classify human facial features in videos. The study formulated the research questions: “How effectively does the developed model provide reliable generalizations?” A CNN model was trained to distinguish between real and fake videos using the facial features of human subjects in videos. The model was trained, validated, and tested using the FaceForensiq++ dataset, which contains more than 500,000 frames and subsets of the DFDC dataset, totaling more than 22,000 videos. The study demonstrated high generalizability, as the accuracy of the unknown dataset was only marginally (about 1%) lower than that of the known dataset. The findings of this study indicate that detection systems can be more generalizable, lighter, and faster by focusing on just a small region (the human face) of an entire video.

文摘With the construction of the power Internet of Things(IoT),communication between smart devices in urban distribution networks has been gradually moving towards high speed,high compatibility,and low latency,which provides reliable support for reconfiguration optimization in urban distribution networks.Thus,this study proposed a deep reinforcement learning based multi-level dynamic reconfiguration method for urban distribution networks in a cloud-edge collaboration architecture to obtain a real-time optimal multi-level dynamic reconfiguration solution.First,the multi-level dynamic reconfiguration method was discussed,which included feeder-,transformer-,and substation-levels.Subsequently,the multi-agent system was combined with the cloud-edge collaboration architecture to build a deep reinforcement learning model for multi-level dynamic reconfiguration in an urban distribution network.The cloud-edge collaboration architecture can effectively support the multi-agent system to conduct“centralized training and decentralized execution”operation modes and improve the learning efficiency of the model.Thereafter,for a multi-agent system,this study adopted a combination of offline and online learning to endow the model with the ability to realize automatic optimization and updation of the strategy.In the offline learning phase,a Q-learning-based multi-agent conservative Q-learning(MACQL)algorithm was proposed to stabilize the learning results and reduce the risk of the next online learning phase.In the online learning phase,a multi-agent deep deterministic policy gradient(MADDPG)algorithm based on policy gradients was proposed to explore the action space and update the experience pool.Finally,the effectiveness of the proposed method was verified through a simulation analysis of a real-world 445-node system.
