Abstract This paper presents a unified Unmanned Aerial Vehicle-based (UAV-based) traffic monitoring framework that integrates vehicle detection, tracking, counting, motion prediction, and classification in a modular and co-optimized pipeline. Unlike prior works that address these tasks in isolation, our approach combines You Only Look Once (YOLO) v10 detection, ByteTrack tracking, optical-flow density estimation, Long Short-Term Memory-based (LSTM-based) trajectory forecasting, and hybrid Speeded-Up Robust Feature (SURF) + Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) feature engineering with VGG16 classification. Upon the validation across datasets (UAVDT and UAVID) our framework achieved a detection accuracy of 94.2%, and 92.3% detection accuracy when More >

Abstract Additive Manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, has transformed conventional manufacturing by building objects layer by layer, with material extrusion or fused deposition modeling standing out as particularly popular. However, due to its manufacturing process and thermal nature, internal voids and pores are formed within the thermoplastic materials being fabricated, potentially leading to a decrease in mechanical properties. This paper discussed the effect of printing parameters on the porosity and the mechanical properties of the 3D printed polylactic acid (PLA) through micro-computed tomography (microCT), computational image analysis, and Charpy impact testing. The results for both… More >

Abstract Hard disk drives (HDDs) serve as the primary storage devices in modern data centers. Once a failure occurs, it often leads to severe data loss, significantly degrading the reliability of storage systems. Numerous studies have proposed machine learning-based HDD failure prediction models. However, the Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (SMART) attributes differ across HDD manufacturers. We define hard drives of the same brand and model as homogeneous HDD groups, and those from different brands or models as heterogeneous HDD groups. In practical engineering scenarios, a data center is often composed of a heterogeneous population of… More >

Abstract This study addresses the risk of privacy leakage during the transmission and sharing of multimodal data in smart grid substations by proposing a three-tier privacy-preserving architecture based on asynchronous federated learning. The framework integrates blockchain technology, the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) for distributed storage, and a dynamic differential privacy mechanism to achieve collaborative security across the storage, service, and federated coordination layers. It accommodates both multimodal data classification and object detection tasks, enabling the identification and localization of key targets and abnormal behaviors in substation scenarios while ensuring privacy protection. This effectively mitigates the single-point… More >

Abstract Sustainable aluminum alloys, renowned for their lower energy consumption and carbon emissions, present a critical path towards a circular materials economy. However, their design is fraught with challenges, including complex performance variability due to impurity elements and the time-consuming, cost-prohibitive nature of traditional trial-and-error methods. The high-dimensional parameter space in processing optimization and the reliance on human expertise for quality control further complicate their development. This paper provides a comprehensive review of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques applied to sustainable aluminum alloy design, analyzing their methodologies and identifying key challenges and optimization strategies. We review how… More >

Abstract The emergence of Medical Large Language Models has significantly transformed healthcare. Medical Large Language Models (Med-LLMs) serve as transformative tools that enhance clinical practice through applications in decision support, documentation, and diagnostics. This evaluation examines the performance of leading Med-LLMs, including GPT-4Med, Med-PaLM, MEDITRON, PubMedGPT, and MedAlpaca, across diverse medical datasets. It provides graphical comparisons of their effectiveness in distinct healthcare domains. The study introduces a domain-specific categorization system that aligns these models with optimal applications in clinical decision-making, documentation, drug discovery, research, patient interaction, and public health. The paper addresses deployment challenges of Medical-LLMs, More >

Abstract The multi-objective optimization problems, especially in constrained environments such as power distribution planning, demand robust strategies for discovering effective solutions. This work presents the improved variant of the Multi-population Cooperative Constrained Multi-Objective Optimization (MCCMO) Algorithm, termed Adaptive Diversity Preservation (ADP). This enhancement is primarily focused on the improvement of constraint handling strategies, local search integration, hybrid selection approaches, and adaptive parameter control. The improved variant was experimented on with the RWMOP50 power distribution system planning benchmark. As per the findings, the improved variant outperformed the original MCCMO across the eleven performance metrics, particularly in terms… More >

Abstract The integration of human factors into artificial intelligence (AI) systems has emerged as a critical research frontier, particularly in reinforcement learning (RL), where human-AI interaction (HAII) presents both opportunities and challenges. As RL continues to demonstrate remarkable success in model-free and partially observable environments, its real-world deployment increasingly requires effective collaboration with human operators and stakeholders. This article systematically examines HAII techniques in RL through both theoretical analysis and practical case studies. We establish a conceptual framework built upon three fundamental pillars of effective human-AI collaboration: computational trust modeling, system usability, and decision understandability. Our… More >

Abstract Deep learning-based wind turbine blade fault diagnosis has been widely applied due to its advantages in end-to-end feature extraction. However, several challenges remain. First, signal noise collected during blade operation masks fault features, severely impairing the fault diagnosis performance of deep learning models. Second, current blade fault diagnosis often relies on single-sensor data, resulting in limited monitoring dimensions and ability to comprehensively capture complex fault states. To address these issues, a multi-sensor fusion-based wind turbine blade fault diagnosis method is proposed. Specifically, a CNN-Transformer Coupled Feature Learning Architecture is constructed to enhance the ability to More >

Abstract Granular materials exhibit complex macroscopic mechanical behaviors closely related to their micro-scale microstructural features. Traditional macroscopic phenomenological elasto-plastic models, however, usually have complex formulations and lack explicit relations to these microstructural features. To avoid these limitations, this study proposes a micromechanics-based softening hyperelastic model for granular materials, integrating softening hyperelasticity with microstructural insights to capture strain softening, critical state, and strain localization behaviors. The model has two key advantages: (1) a clear conceptualization, straightforward formulation, and ease of numerical implementation (via Abaqus UMAT subroutine in this study); (2) explicit incorporation of micro-scale features (e.g., contact… More >
