On the Performance Analysis of One Tap Equalizers in Oversampled OFDM Systems

Oversampling is commonly encountered in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems to ease various performance characteristics. In this paper, we investigate the performance and complexity of one tap zero-forcing (ZF) and minimum mean-square error (MMSE) equalizers in oversampled OFDM systems. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that oversampling not only reduces the noise at equalizer output but also helps mitigate ill effects of spectral nulls. One tap equalizers therefore yield improved symbol-error-rate (SER) performance with the increase in oversampling rate, but at the expense of increased system bandwidth and modest complexity requirements.

Predictive modeling for postoperative delirium in elderly patients with abdominal malignancies using synthetic minority oversampling technique

BACKGROUND Postoperative delirium,particularly prevalent in elderly patients after abdominal cancer surgery,presents significant challenges in clinical management.AIM To develop a synthetic minority oversampling technique(SMOTE)-based model for predicting postoperative delirium in elderly abdominal cancer patients.METHODS In this retrospective cohort study,we analyzed data from 611 elderly patients who underwent abdominal malignant tumor surgery at our hospital between September 2020 and October 2022.The incidence of postoperative delirium was recorded for 7 d post-surgery.Patients were divided into delirium and non-delirium groups based on the occurrence of postoperative delirium or not.A multivariate logistic regression model was used to identify risk factors and develop a predictive model for postoperative delirium.The SMOTE technique was applied to enhance the model by oversampling the delirium cases.The model’s predictive accuracy was then validated.RESULTS In our study involving 611 elderly patients with abdominal malignant tumors,multivariate logistic regression analysis identified significant risk factors for postoperative delirium.These included the Charlson comorbidity index,American Society of Anesthesiologists classification,history of cerebrovascular disease,surgical duration,perioperative blood transfusion,and postoperative pain score.The incidence rate of postoperative delirium in our study was 22.91%.The original predictive model(P1)exhibited an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.862.In comparison,the SMOTE-based logistic early warning model(P2),which utilized the SMOTE oversampling algorithm,showed a slightly lower but comparable area under the curve of 0.856,suggesting no significant difference in performance between the two predictive approaches.CONCLUSION This study confirms that the SMOTE-enhanced predictive model for postoperative delirium in elderly abdominal tumor patients shows performance equivalent to that of traditional methods,effectively addressing data imbalance.

An Efficient Modelling of Oversampling with Optimal Deep Learning Enabled Anomaly Detection in Streaming Data

Recently,anomaly detection(AD)in streaming data gained significant attention among research communities due to its applicability in finance,business,healthcare,education,etc.The recent developments of deep learning(DL)models find helpful in the detection and classification of anomalies.This article designs an oversampling with an optimal deep learning-based streaming data classification(OS-ODLSDC)model.The aim of the OSODLSDC model is to recognize and classify the presence of anomalies in the streaming data.The proposed OS-ODLSDC model initially undergoes preprocessing step.Since streaming data is unbalanced,support vector machine(SVM)-Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique(SVM-SMOTE)is applied for oversampling process.Besides,the OS-ODLSDC model employs bidirectional long short-term memory(Bi LSTM)for AD and classification.Finally,the root means square propagation(RMSProp)optimizer is applied for optimal hyperparameter tuning of the Bi LSTM model.For ensuring the promising performance of the OS-ODLSDC model,a wide-ranging experimental analysis is performed using three benchmark datasets such as CICIDS 2018,KDD-Cup 1999,and NSL-KDD datasets.

Rockburst is a common geological disaster in underground engineering,which seriously threatens the safety of personnel,equipment and property.Utilizing machine learning models to evaluate risk of rockburst is gradually becoming a trend.In this study,the integrated algorithms under Gradient Boosting Decision Tree(GBDT)framework were used to evaluate and classify rockburst intensity.First,a total of 301 rock burst data samples were obtained from a case database,and the data were preprocessed using synthetic minority over-sampling technique(SMOTE).Then,the rockburst evaluation models including GBDT,eXtreme Gradient Boosting(XGBoost),Light Gradient Boosting Machine(LightGBM),and Categorical Features Gradient Boosting(CatBoost)were established,and the optimal hyperparameters of the models were obtained through random search grid and five-fold cross-validation.Afterwards,use the optimal hyperparameter configuration to fit the evaluation models,and analyze these models using test set.In order to evaluate the performance,metrics including accuracy,precision,recall,and F1-score were selected to analyze and compare with other machine learning models.Finally,the trained models were used to conduct rock burst risk assessment on rock samples from a mine in Shanxi Province,China,and providing theoretical guidance for the mine's safe production work.The models under the GBDT framework perform well in the evaluation of rockburst levels,and the proposed methods can provide a reliable reference for rockburst risk level analysis and safety management.

Learning Vector Quantization-Based Fuzzy Rules Oversampling Method

Imbalanced datasets are common in practical applications,and oversampling methods using fuzzy rules have been shown to enhance the classification performance of imbalanced data by taking into account the relationship between data attributes.However,the creation of fuzzy rules typically depends on expert knowledge,which may not fully leverage the label information in training data and may be subjective.To address this issue,a novel fuzzy rule oversampling approach is developed based on the learning vector quantization(LVQ)algorithm.In this method,the label information of the training data is utilized to determine the antecedent part of If-Then fuzzy rules by dynamically dividing attribute intervals using LVQ.Subsequently,fuzzy rules are generated and adjusted to calculate rule weights.The number of new samples to be synthesized for each rule is then computed,and samples from the minority class are synthesized based on the newly generated fuzzy rules.This results in the establishment of a fuzzy rule oversampling method based on LVQ.To evaluate the effectiveness of this method,comparative experiments are conducted on 12 publicly available imbalance datasets with five other sampling techniques in combination with the support function machine.The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can significantly enhance the classification algorithm across seven performance indicators,including a boost of 2.15%to 12.34%in Accuracy,6.11%to 27.06%in G-mean,and 4.69%to 18.78%in AUC.These show that the proposed method is capable of more efficiently improving the classification performance of imbalanced data.

Predictive modeling for post operative delirium in elderly

Delirium,a complex neurocognitive syndrome,frequently emerges following surgery,presenting diverse manifestations and considerable obstacles,especially among the elderly.This editorial delves into the intricate phenomenon of postoperative delirium(POD),shedding light on a study that explores POD in elderly individuals undergoing abdominal malignancy surgery.The study examines pathophysiology and predictive determinants,offering valuable insights into this challenging clinical scenario.Employing the synthetic minority oversampling technique,a predictive model is developed,incorporating critical risk factors such as comorbidity index,anesthesia grade,and surgical duration.There is an urgent need for accurate risk factor identification to mitigate POD incidence.While specific to elderly patients with abdominal malignancies,the findings contribute significantly to understanding delirium pathophysiology and prediction.Further research is warranted to establish standardized predictive for enhanced generalizability.

Postoperative delirium:A tragedy for elderly cancer patients

In this editorial,we comment on the article by Hu et al entitled“Predictive modeling for postoperative delirium in elderly patients with abdominal malignancies using synthetic minority oversampling technique”.We wanted to draw attention to the general features of postoperative delirium(POD)as well as the areas where there are uncertainties and contradictions.POD can be defined as acute neurocognitive dysfunction that occurs in the first week after surgery.It is a severe postoperative complication,especially for elderly oncology patients.Although the underlying pathophysiological mechanism is not fully understood,various neuroinflammatory mechanisms and neurotransmitters are thought to be involved.Various assessment scales and diagnostic methods have been proposed for the early diagnosis of POD.As delirium is considered a preventable clinical entity in about half of the cases,various early prediction models developed with the support of machine learning have recently become a hot scientific topic.Unfortunately,a model with high sensitivity and specificity for the prediction of POD has not yet been reported.This situation reveals that all health personnel who provide health care services to elderly patients should approach patients with a high level of awareness in the perioperative period regarding POD.

4K-DMDNet:diffraction model-driven network for 4K computer-generated holography

Deep learning offers a novel opportunity to achieve both high-quality and high-speed computer-generated holography(CGH).Current data-driven deep learning algorithms face the challenge that the labeled training datasets limit the training performance and generalization.The model-driven deep learning introduces the diffraction model into the neural network.It eliminates the need for the labeled training dataset and has been extensively applied to hologram generation.However,the existing model-driven deep learning algorithms face the problem of insufficient constraints.In this study,we propose a model-driven neural network capable of high-fidelity 4K computer-generated hologram generation,called 4K Diffraction Model-driven Network(4K-DMDNet).The constraint of the reconstructed images in the frequency domain is strengthened.And a network structure that combines the residual method and sub-pixel convolution method is built,which effectively enhances the fitting ability of the network for inverse problems.The generalization of the 4K-DMDNet is demonstrated with binary,grayscale and 3D images.High-quality full-color optical reconstructions of the 4K holograms have been achieved at the wavelengths of 450 nm,520 nm,and 638 nm.

An Imbalanced Dataset and Class Overlapping Classification Model for Big Data

Most modern technologies,such as social media,smart cities,and the internet of things(IoT),rely on big data.When big data is used in the real-world applications,two data challenges such as class overlap and class imbalance arises.When dealing with large datasets,most traditional classifiers are stuck in the local optimum problem.As a result,it’s necessary to look into new methods for dealing with large data collections.Several solutions have been proposed for overcoming this issue.The rapid growth of the available data threatens to limit the usefulness of many traditional methods.Methods such as oversampling and undersampling have shown great promises in addressing the issues of class imbalance.Among all of these techniques,Synthetic Minority Oversampling TechniquE(SMOTE)has produced the best results by generating synthetic samples for the minority class in creating a balanced dataset.The issue is that their practical applicability is restricted to problems involving tens of thousands or lower instances of each.In this paper,we have proposed a parallel mode method using SMOTE and MapReduce strategy,this distributes the operation of the algorithm among a group of computational nodes for addressing the aforementioned problem.Our proposed solution has been divided into three stages.Thefirst stage involves the process of splitting the data into different blocks using a mapping function,followed by a pre-processing step for each mapping block that employs a hybrid SMOTE algo-rithm for solving the class imbalanced problem.On each map block,a decision tree model would be constructed.Finally,the decision tree blocks would be com-bined for creating a classification model.We have used numerous datasets with up to 4 million instances in our experiments for testing the proposed scheme’s cap-abilities.As a result,the Hybrid SMOTE appears to have good scalability within the framework proposed,and it also cuts down the processing time.

Due to the anonymity of blockchain,frequent security incidents and attacks occur through it,among which the Ponzi scheme smart contract is a classic type of fraud resulting in huge economic losses.Machine learningbased methods are believed to be promising for detecting ethereum Ponzi schemes.However,there are still some flaws in current research,e.g.,insufficient feature extraction of Ponzi scheme smart contracts,without considering class imbalance.In addition,there is room for improvement in detection precision.Aiming at the above problems,this paper proposes an ethereum Ponzi scheme detection scheme through opcode context analysis and adaptive boosting(AdaBoost)algorithm.Firstly,this paper uses the n-gram algorithm to extract more comprehensive contract opcode features and combine them with contract account features,which helps to improve the feature extraction effect.Meanwhile,adaptive synthetic sampling(ADASYN)is introduced to deal with class imbalanced data,and integrated with the Adaboost classifier.Finally,this paper uses the improved AdaBoost classifier for the identification of Ponzi scheme contracts.Experimentally,this paper tests our model in real-world smart contracts and compares it with representative methods in the aspect of F1-score and precision.Moreover,this article compares and discusses the state of art methods with our method in four aspects:data acquisition,data preprocessing,feature extraction,and classifier design.Both experiment and discussion validate the effectiveness of our model.

An ensemble learning classifier to discover arsenene catalysts with implanted heteroatoms for hydrogen evolution reaction

Accurate regulation of two-dimensional materials has become an effective strategy to develop a wide range of catalytic applications.The introduction of heterogeneous components has a significant impact on the performance of materials,which makes it difficult to discover and understand the structure-property relationships at the atomic level.Here,we developed a novel and efficient ensemble learning classifier with synthetic minority oversampling technique(SMOTE) to discover all possible arsenene catalysts with implanted heteroatoms for hydrogen evolution reaction(HER).A total of 850 doped arsenenes were collected as a database and 140 modified arsenene materials with different doping atoms and doping sites were identified as promising candidate catalysts for HER,with a machine learning prediction accuracy of 81%.Based on the results of machine learning,we proposed 13 low-cost and easily synthesized two-dimensional Fe-doped arsenene catalytic materials that are expected to contribute to high-efficient HER.The proposed ensemble method achieved high prediction accuracy,but millions of times faster to predict Gibbs free energies and only required a small amount of data.This study indicates that the presented ensemble learning classifier is capable of screening high-efficient catalysts,and can be further extended to predict other two-dimensional catalysts with delicate regulation.

Detection of Different Stages of Alzheimer’s Disease Using CNN Classifier

Alzheimer’s disease(AD)is a neurodevelopmental impairment that results in a person’s behavior,thinking,and memory loss.Themost common symptoms ofADare losingmemory and early aging.In addition to these,there are several serious impacts ofAD.However,the impact ofADcanbemitigatedby early-stagedetection though it cannot be cured permanently.Early-stage detection is the most challenging task for controlling and mitigating the impact of AD.The study proposes a predictive model to detect AD in the initial phase based on machine learning and a deep learning approach to address the issue.To build a predictive model,open-source data was collected where five stages of images of AD were available as Cognitive Normal(CN),Early Mild Cognitive Impairment(EMCI),Mild Cognitive Impairment(MCI),Late Mild Cognitive Impairment(LMCI),and AD.Every stage of AD is considered as a class,and then the dataset was divided into three parts binary class,three class,and five class.In this research,we applied different preprocessing steps with augmentation techniques to efficiently identifyAD.It integrates a random oversampling technique to handle the imbalance problem from target classes,mitigating the model overfitting and biases.Then three machine learning classifiers,such as random forest(RF),K-Nearest neighbor(KNN),and support vector machine(SVM),and two deep learning methods,such as convolutional neuronal network(CNN)and artificial neural network(ANN)were applied on these datasets.After analyzing the performance of the used models and the datasets,it is found that CNN with binary class outperformed 88.20%accuracy.The result of the study indicates that the model is highly potential to detect AD in the initial phase.

Soft ground tunnel lithology classification using clustering-guided light gradient boosting machine

During tunnel boring machine(TBM)excavation,lithology identification is an important issue to understand tunnelling performance and avoid time-consuming excavation.However,site investigation generally lacks ground samples and the information is subjective,heterogeneous,and imbalanced due to mixed ground conditions.In this study,an unsupervised(K-means)and synthetic minority oversampling technique(SMOTE)-guided light-gradient boosting machine(LightGBM)classifier is proposed to identify the soft ground tunnel classification and determine the imbalanced issue of tunnelling data.During the tunnel excavation,an earth pressure balance(EPB)TBM recorded 18 different operational parameters along with the three main tunnel lithologies.The proposed model is applied using Python low-code PyCaret library.Next,four decision tree-based classifiers were obtained in a short time period with automatic hyperparameter tuning to determine the best model for clustering-guided SMOTE application.In addition,the Shapley additive explanation(SHAP)was implemented to avoid the model black box problem.The proposed model was evaluated using different metrics such as accuracy,F1 score,precision,recall,and receiver operating characteristics(ROC)curve to obtain a reasonable outcome for the minority class.It shows that the proposed model can provide significant tunnel lithology identification based on the operational parameters of EPB-TBM.The proposed method can be applied to heterogeneous tunnel formations with several TBM operational parameters to describe the tunnel lithologies for efficient tunnelling.

Modelling Key Population Attrition in the HIV and AIDS Programme in Kenya Using Random Survival Forests with Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique-Nominal Continuous

HIV and AIDS has continued to be a major public health concern, and hence one of the epidemics that the world resolved to end by 2030 as highlighted in sustainable development goals (SDGs). A colossal amount of effort has been taken to reduce new HIV infections, but there are still a significant number of new infections reported. HIV prevalence is more skewed towards the key population who include female sex workers (FSW), men who have sex with men (MSM), and people who inject drugs (PWID). The study design was retrospective and focused on key population enrolled in a comprehensive HIV and AIDS programme by the Kenya Red Cross Society from July 2019 to June 2021. Individuals who were either lost to follow up, defaulted (dropped out, transferred out, or relocated) or died were classified as attrition;while those who were active and alive by the end of the study were classified as retention. The study used density analysis to determine the spatial differences of key population attrition in the 19 targeted counties, and used Kilifi county as an example to map attrition cases in smaller administrative areas (sub-county level). The study used synthetic minority oversampling technique-nominal continuous (SMOTE-NC) to balance the datasets since the cases of attrition were much less than retention. The random survival forests model was then fitted to the balanced dataset. The model correctly identified attrition cases using the predicted ensemble mortality and their survival time using the estimated Kaplan-Meier survival function. The predictive performance of the model was strong and way better than random chance with concordance indices greater than 0.75.

Development of High Accurate Family-use Digital Refractometer Based on CMOS

This study aims to develop a low-cost refractometer for measuring the sucrose content of fruit juice,which is an important factor affecting human health.While laboratory-grade refractometers are expensive and unsuitable for personal use,existing low-cost commercial options lack stability and accuracy.To address this gap,we propose a refractometer that replaces the expensive CCD sensor and light source with a conventional LED and a reasonably priced CMOS sensor.By analyzing the output waveform pattern of the CMOS sensor,we achieve high precision with a personal-use-appropriate accuracy of 0.1%.We tested the proposed refractometer by conducting 100 repeated measurements on various fruit juice samples,and the results demonstrate its reliability and consistency.Running on a 48 MHz ARM processor,the algorithm can acquire data within 0.2 seconds.Our low-cost refractometer is suitable for personal health management and small-scale production,providing an affordable and reliable method for measuring sucrose concentration in fruit juice.It improves upon the existing low-cost options by offering better stability and accuracy.This accessible tool has potential applications in optimizing the sucrose content of fruit juice for better health and quality control.

Using deep learning to detect small targets in infrared oversampling images

According to the oversampling imaging characteristics, an infrared small target detection method based on deep learning is proposed. A 7-layer deep convolutional neural network(CNN) is designed to automatically extract small target features and suppress clutters in an end-to-end manner. The input of CNN is an original oversampling image while the output is a cluttersuppressed feature map. The CNN contains only convolution and non-linear operations, and the resolution of the output feature map is the same as that of the input image. The L1-norm loss function is used, and a mass of training data is generated to train the network effectively. Results show that compared with several baseline methods, the proposed method improves the signal clutter ratio gain and background suppression factor by 3–4 orders of magnitude, and has more powerful target detection performance.

Real-time prediction of rock mass classification based on TBM operation big data and stacking technique of ensemble learning

Real-time prediction of the rock mass class in front of the tunnel face is essential for the adaptive adjustment of tunnel boring machines(TBMs).During the TBM tunnelling process,a large number of operation data are generated,reflecting the interaction between the TBM system and surrounding rock,and these data can be used to evaluate the rock mass quality.This study proposed a stacking ensemble classifier for the real-time prediction of the rock mass classification using TBM operation data.Based on the Songhua River water conveyance project,a total of 7538 TBM tunnelling cycles and the corresponding rock mass classes are obtained after data preprocessing.Then,through the tree-based feature selection method,10 key TBM operation parameters are selected,and the mean values of the 10 selected features in the stable phase after removing outliers are calculated as the inputs of classifiers.The preprocessed data are randomly divided into the training set(90%)and test set(10%)using simple random sampling.Besides stacking ensemble classifier,seven individual classifiers are established as the comparison.These classifiers include support vector machine(SVM),k-nearest neighbors(KNN),random forest(RF),gradient boosting decision tree(GBDT),decision tree(DT),logistic regression(LR)and multilayer perceptron(MLP),where the hyper-parameters of each classifier are optimised using the grid search method.The prediction results show that the stacking ensemble classifier has a better performance than individual classifiers,and it shows a more powerful learning and generalisation ability for small and imbalanced samples.Additionally,a relative balance training set is obtained by the synthetic minority oversampling technique(SMOTE),and the influence of sample imbalance on the prediction performance is discussed.
