Abstract One in every eight men in the US is diagnosed with prostate cancer, making it the most common cancer in men. Gleason grading is one of the most essential diagnostic and prognostic factors for planning the treatment of prostate cancer patients. Traditionally, urological pathologists perform the grading by scoring the morphological pattern, known as the Gleason pattern, in histopathology images. However, this manual grading is highly subjective, suffers intra- and inter-pathologist variability and lacks reproducibility. An automated grading system could be more efficient, with no subjectivity and higher accuracy and reproducibility. Automated methods presented previously… More >

Abstract Robot navigation in complex crowd service scenarios, such as medical logistics and commercial guidance, requires a dynamic balance between safety and efficiency, while the traditional fixed reward mechanism lacks environmental adaptability and struggles to adapt to the variability of crowd density and pedestrian motion patterns. This paper proposes a navigation method that integrates spatiotemporal risk field modeling and adaptive reward optimization, aiming to improve the robot’s decision-making ability in diverse crowd scenarios through dynamic risk assessment and nonlinear weight adjustment. We construct a spatiotemporal risk field model based on a Gaussian kernel function by combining… More >

Abstract The rapid increase in the number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, coupled with a rise in sophisticated cyberattacks, demands robust intrusion detection systems. This study presents a holistic, intelligent intrusion detection system. It uses a combined method that integrates machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques to improve the protection of contemporary information technology (IT) systems. Unlike traditional signature-based or single-model methods, this system integrates the strengths of ensemble learning for binary classification and deep learning for multi-class classification. This combination provides a more nuanced and adaptable defense. The research utilizes the NF-UQ-NIDS-v2… More >

Abstract With the birth of Software-Defined Networking (SDN), integration of both SDN and traditional architectures becomes the development trend of computer networks. Network intrusion detection faces challenges in dealing with complex attacks in SDN environments, thus to address the network security issues from the viewpoint of Artificial Intelligence (AI), this paper introduces the Crayfish Optimization Algorithm (COA) to the field of intrusion detection for both SDN and traditional network architectures, and based on the characteristics of the original COA, an Improved Crayfish Optimization Algorithm (ICOA) is proposed by integrating strategies of elite reverse learning, Levy flight,… More >

Abstract The increasing fluency of advanced language models, such as GPT-3.5, GPT-4, and the recently introduced DeepSeek, challenges the ability to distinguish between human-authored and AI-generated academic writing. This situation is raising significant concerns regarding the integrity and authenticity of academic work. In light of the above, the current research evaluates the effectiveness of Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) networks enhanced with pre-trained GloVe (Global Vectors for Word Representation) embeddings to detect AI-generated scientific abstracts drawn from the AI-GA (Artificial Intelligence Generated Abstracts) dataset. Two core BiLSTM variants were assessed: a single-layer approach and a dual-layer… More >

Abstract Infrared imaging technology has been widely adopted in various fields, such as military reconnaissance, medical diagnosis, and security monitoring, due to its excellent ability to penetrate smoke and fog. However, the prevalent low resolution of infrared images severely limits the accurate interpretation of their contents. In addition, deploying super-resolution models on resource-constrained devices faces significant challenges. To address these issues, this study proposes a lightweight super-resolution network for infrared images based on an adaptive attention mechanism. The network’s dynamic weighting module automatically adjusts the weights of the attention and non-attention branch outputs based on the… More >

Abstract In the current era of intelligent technologies, comprehensive and precise regional coverage path planning is critical for tasks such as environmental monitoring, emergency rescue, and agricultural plant protection. Owing to their exceptional flexibility and rapid deployment capabilities, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have emerged as the ideal platforms for accomplishing these tasks. This study proposes a swarm A*-guided Deep Q-Network (SADQN) algorithm to address the coverage path planning (CPP) problem for UAV swarms in complex environments. Firstly, to overcome the dependency of traditional modeling methods on regular terrain environments, this study proposes an improved cellular decomposition… More >

Abstract Sonic Hedgehog Medulloblastoma (SHH-MB) is one of the four primary molecular subgroups of Medulloblastoma. It is estimated to be responsible for nearly one-third of all MB cases. Using transcriptomic and DNA methylation profiling techniques, new developments in this field determined four molecular subtypes for SHH-MB. SHH-MB subtypes show distinct DNA methylation patterns that allow their discrimination from overlapping subtypes and predict clinical outcomes. Class overlapping occurs when two or more classes share common features, making it difficult to distinguish them as separate. Using the DNA methylation dataset, a novel classification technique is presented to address… More >

Abstract The newly emerging neural radiance fields (NeRF) methods can implicitly fulfill three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction via training a neural network to render novel-view images of a given scene with given posed images. The Instant Neural Graphics Primitives (Instant-NGP) method further improves the position encoding of NeRF. It obtains state-of-the-art efficiency. However, only a local pixel-wised loss is considered when training the Instant-NGP while overlooking the nonlocal structural information between pixels. Despite a good quantitative result, it leads to a poor visual effect, especially the completeness. Inspired by the stochastic structural similarity (S3IM) method that exploits nonlocal… More >

Abstract The accurate prediction and analysis of emergencies in Urban Rail Transit Systems (URTS) are essential for the development of effective early warning and prevention mechanisms. This study presents an integrated perception model designed to predict emergencies and analyze their causes based on historical unstructured emergency data. To address issues related to data structuredness and missing values, we employed label encoding and an Elastic Net Regularization-based Generative Adversarial Interpolation Network (ER-GAIN) for data structuring and imputation. Additionally, to mitigate the impact of imbalanced data on the predictive performance of emergencies, we introduced an Adaptive Boosting Ensemble… More >
