Abstract This study examines the effectiveness of artificial intelligence techniques in generating high-quality environmental data for species introductory site selection systems. Combining Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (SWOT) analysis data with Variation Autoencoder (VAE) and Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) the network framework model (SAE-GAN), is proposed for environmental data reconstruction. The model combines two popular generative models, GAN and VAE, to generate features conditional on categorical data embedding after SWOT Analysis.

Abstract Handwriting is a unique and significant human feature that distinguishes them from one another. There are many researchers have endeavored to develop writing recognition systems utilizing specific signatures or symbols for person identification through verification. However, such systems are susceptible to forgery, posing security risks. In response to these challenges, we propose an innovative hybrid technique for individual identification based on independent handwriting, eliminating the reliance on specific signatures or symbols.

Abstract With the rapid development of the mobile communication and the Internet, the previous web anomaly detection and identification models were built relying on security experts’ empirical knowledge and attack features. Although this approach can achieve higher detection performance, it requires huge human labor and resources to maintain the feature library. In contrast, semantic feature engineering can dynamically discover new semantic features and optimize feature selection by automatically analyzing the semantic information contained in the data itself, thus reducing dependence on prior knowledge. However, current semantic features still have the problem of semantic expression singularity, as… More >

Abstract The intuitive fuzzy set has found important application in decision-making and machine learning. To enrich and utilize the intuitive fuzzy set, this study designed and developed a deep neural network-based glaucoma eye detection using fuzzy difference equations in the domain where the retinal images converge. Retinal image detections are categorized as normal eye recognition, suspected glaucomatous eye recognition, and glaucomatous eye recognition. Fuzzy degrees associated with weighted values are calculated to determine the level of concentration between the fuzzy partition and the retinal images. The proposed model was used to diagnose glaucoma using retinal images… More >
