Abstract Accurate load forecasting forms a crucial foundation for implementing household demand response plans and optimizing load scheduling. When dealing with short-term load data characterized by substantial fluctuations, a single prediction model is hard to capture temporal features effectively, resulting in diminished prediction accuracy. In this study, a hybrid deep learning framework that integrates attention mechanism, convolution neural network (CNN), improved chaotic particle swarm optimization (ICPSO), and long short-term memory (LSTM), is proposed for short-term household load forecasting. Firstly, the CNN model is employed to extract features from the original data, enhancing the quality of data… More >

Abstract The inverse and direct piezoelectric and circuit coupling are widely observed in advanced electro-mechanical systems such as piezoelectric energy harvesters. Existing strongly coupled analysis methods based on direct numerical modeling for this phenomenon can be classified into partitioned or monolithic formulations. Each formulation has its advantages and disadvantages, and the choice depends on the characteristics of each coupled problem. This study proposes a new option: a coupled analysis strategy that combines the best features of the existing formulations, namely, the hybrid partitioned-monolithic method. The analysis of inverse piezoelectricity and the monolithic analysis of direct piezoelectric More >

Abstract Accurately predicting the remaining useful life (RUL) of bearings in mining rotating equipment is vital for mining enterprises. This research aims to distinguish the features associated with the RUL of bearings and propose a prediction model based on these selected features. This study proposes a hybrid predictive model to assess the RUL of rolling element bearings. The proposed model begins with the pre-processing of bearing vibration signals to reconstruct sixty time-domain features. The hybrid model selects relevant features from the sixty time-domain features of the vibration signal by adopting the RReliefF feature selection algorithm. Subsequently,… More >

Abstract A significant obstacle in intelligent transportation systems (ITS) is the capacity to predict traffic flow. Recent advancements in deep neural networks have enabled the development of models to represent traffic flow accurately. However, accurately predicting traffic flow at the individual road level is extremely difficult due to the complex interplay of spatial and temporal factors. This paper proposes a technique for predicting short-term traffic flow data using an architecture that utilizes convolutional bidirectional long short-term memory (Conv-BiLSTM) with attention mechanisms. Prior studies neglected to include data pertaining to factors such as holidays, weather conditions, and More >

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 Blasting in surface mines aims to fragment rock masses to a proper size. However, flyrock is an undesirable effect of blasting that can result in human injuries. In this study, support vector regression (SVR) is combined with four algorithms: gravitational search algorithm (GSA), biogeography-based optimization (BBO), ant colony optimization (ACO), and whale optimization algorithm (WOA) for predicting flyrock in two surface mines in Iran. Additionally, three other methods, including artificial neural network (ANN), kernel extreme learning machine (KELM), and general regression neural network (GRNN), are employed, and their performances are compared to those of four More >

Abstract Proliferation of technology, coupled with networking growth, has catapulted cybersecurity to the forefront of modern security concerns. In this landscape, the precise detection of cyberattacks and anomalies within networks is crucial, necessitating the development of efficient intrusion detection systems (IDS). This article introduces a framework utilizing the fusion of fuzzy sets with support vector machines (SVM), named FSVM. The core strategy of FSVM lies in calculating the significance of network features to determine their relative importance. Features with minimal significance are prudently disregarded, a method akin to feature selection. This process not only curtails the… More >
