Abstract Elastography is a non-invasive medical imaging technique to map the spatial variation of elastic properties of soft tissues. The quality of reconstruction results in elastography is highly sensitive to the noise induced by imaging measurements and processing. To address this issue, we propose a deep learning (DL) model based on conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (cGANs) to improve the quality of nonhomogeneous shear modulus reconstruction. To train this model, we generated a synthetic displacement field with finite element simulation under known nonhomogeneous shear modulus distribution. Both the simulated and experimental displacement fields are used to validate More >

Abstract The idea of linear Diophantine fuzzy set (LDFS) theory with its control parameters is a strong model for machine learning and optimization under uncertainty. The activity times in the critical path method (CPM) representation procedures approach are initially static, but in the Project Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) approach, they are probabilistic. This study proposes a novel way of project review and assessment methodology for a project network in a linear Diophantine fuzzy (LDF) environment. The LDF expected task time, LDF variance, LDF critical path, and LDF total expected time for determining the project network… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The demand for adopting neural networks in resource-constrained embedded devices is continuously increasing. Quantization is one of the most promising solutions to reduce computational cost and memory storage on embedded devices. In order to reduce the complexity and overhead of deploying neural networks on Integer-only hardware, most current quantization methods use a symmetric quantization mapping strategy to quantize a floating-point neural network into an integer network. However, although symmetric quantization has the advantage of easier implementation, it is sub-optimal for cases where the range could be skewed and not symmetric. This often comes at the… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Convolutional neural networks continually evolve to enhance accuracy in addressing various problems, leading to an increase in computational cost and model size. This paper introduces a novel approach for pruning face recognition models based on convolutional neural networks. The proposed method identifies and removes inefficient filters based on the information volume in feature maps. In each layer, some feature maps lack useful information, and there exists a correlation between certain feature maps. Filters associated with these two types of feature maps impose additional computational costs on the model. By eliminating filters related to these categories… More >

Abstract The South Indian mango industry is confronting severe threats due to various leaf diseases, which significantly impact the yield and quality of the crop. The management and prevention of these diseases depend mainly on their early identification and accurate classification. The central objective of this research is to propose and examine the application of Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) as a potential solution for the precise detection and categorization of diseases impacting the leaves of South Indian mango trees. Our study collected a rich dataset of leaf images representing different disease classes, including Anthracnose, Powdery… More >

Abstract The grey wolf optimizer (GWO) is a swarm-based intelligence optimization algorithm by simulating the steps of searching, encircling, and attacking prey in the process of wolf hunting. Along with its advantages of simple principle and few parameters setting, GWO bears drawbacks such as low solution accuracy and slow convergence speed. A few recent advanced GWOs are proposed to try to overcome these disadvantages. However, they are either difficult to apply to large-scale problems due to high time complexity or easily lead to early convergence. To solve the abovementioned issues, a high-accuracy variable grey wolf optimizer… More >

Abstract The small uncertainties of geometric parameters of industrial robot, which are caused by links manufacturing and service wear errors, can deteriorate the positioning accuracy of end-effector through multi-level propagation and is difficult to be measured and compensated by high-precision instruments. Hence, an efficient inverse identification method of parameter uncertainty based on global sensitivity analysis and optimal measurement point selection is proposed. In order to ensure the universality of identification results in calibration and control works, the standard Denavit-Hartenberg (D-H) method is employed to establish the kinematic model of series 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) robots.… More >

Abstract Spatio-temporal heterogeneous data is the database for decision-making in many fields, and checking its accuracy can provide data support for making decisions. Due to the randomness, complexity, global and local correlation of spatiotemporal heterogeneous data in the temporal and spatial dimensions, traditional detection methods can not guarantee both detection speed and accuracy. Therefore, this article proposes a method for detecting the accuracy of spatiotemporal heterogeneous data by fusing graph convolution and temporal convolution networks. Firstly, the geographic weighting function is introduced and improved to quantify the degree of association between nodes and calculate the weighted… More >

Abstract Crop Yield Prediction (CYP) is critical to world food production. Food safety is a top priority for policymakers. They rely on reliable CYP to make import and export decisions that must be fulfilled before launching an agricultural business. Crop Yield (CY) is a complex variable influenced by multiple factors, including genotype, environment, and their interactions. CYP is a significant agrarian issue. However, CYP is the main task due to many composite factors, such as climatic conditions and soil characteristics. Machine Learning (ML) is a powerful tool for supporting CYP decisions, including decision support on which… More >
