Abstract Natural Language Processing (NLP) has become essential in text classification, sentiment analysis, machine translation, and speech recognition applications. As these tasks become complex, traditional machine learning and deep learning models encounter challenges with optimization, parameter tuning, and handling large-scale, high-dimensional data. Bio-inspired algorithms, which mimic natural processes, offer robust optimization capabilities that can enhance NLP performance by improving feature selection, optimizing model parameters, and integrating adaptive learning mechanisms. This review explores the state-of-the-art applications of bio-inspired algorithms—such as Genetic Algorithms (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO)—across core NLP tasks.

Abstract With the increasing integration of emerging source-load types such as distributed photovoltaics, electric vehicles, and energy storage into distribution networks, the operational characteristics of these networks have evolved from traditional single-load centers to complex multi-source, multi-load systems. This transition not only increases the difficulty of effectively classifying distribution networks due to their heightened complexity but also renders traditional energy management approaches—primarily focused on economic objectives—insufficient to meet the growing demands for flexible scheduling and dynamic response. To address these challenges, this paper proposes an adaptive multi-objective energy management strategy that accounts for the distinct operational… More >

Abstract The rapid development of electricity retail market has prompted an increasing number of electricity consumers to sign green electricity contracts with retail electricity companies, which poses greater challenges for the market service for green energy consumers. This study proposed a two-stage feature extraction approach for green energy consumers leveraging clustering and term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF–IDF) algorithms within a knowledge graph framework to provide an information basis that supports the green development of the retail electricity market. First, the multi-source heterogeneous data of green energy consumers under an actual market environment is systematically introduced and… More >

Abstract This paper introduces fuzzy N-bipolar soft (FN-BS) sets, a novel mathematical framework designed to enhance multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) processes under uncertainty. The study addresses a significant limitation in existing models by unifying fuzzy logic, the consideration of bipolarity, and the ability to evaluate attributes on a multinary scale. The specific contributions of the FN-BS framework include: (1) a formal definition and set-theoretic foundation, (2) the development of two innovative algorithms for solving decision-making (DM) problems, and (3) a comparative analysis demonstrating its superiority over established models. The proposed framework is applied to a real-world case More >

Abstract Given the growing concern over global warming and the critical role of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in this phenomenon, the study of CO₂-induced alterations in coal strength has garnered significant attention due to its implications for carbon sequestration. A large number of experiments have proved that CO₂ interaction time (T), saturation pressure (P) and other parameters have significant effects on coal strength. However, accurate evaluation of CO₂-induced alterations in coal strength is still a difficult problem, so it is particularly important to establish accurate and efficient prediction models. This study explored the application of advanced machine learning (ML)… More >

Abstract In contemporary geotechnical projects, various approaches are employed for forecasting the settlement of shallow foundations (S_m). However, achieving precise modeling of foundation behavior using certain techniques (such as analytical, numerical, and regression) is challenging and sometimes unattainable. This is primarily due to the inherent nonlinearity of the model, the intricate nature of geotechnical materials, the complex interaction between soil and foundation, and the inherent uncertainty in soil parameters. Therefore, these methods often introduce assumptions and simplifications, resulting in relationships that deviate from the actual problem’s reality. In addition, many of these methods demand significant investments of… More >

Abstract The traditional first-order reliability method (FORM) often encounters challenges with non-convergence of results or excessive calculation when analyzing complex engineering problems. To improve the global convergence speed of structural reliability analysis, an improved coati optimization algorithm (COA) is proposed in this paper. In this study, the social learning strategy is used to improve the coati optimization algorithm (SL-COA), which improves the convergence speed and robustness of the new heuristic optimization algorithm. Then, the SL-COA is compared with the latest heuristic optimization algorithms such as the original COA, whale optimization algorithm (WOA), and osprey optimization algorithm… More >

Abstract Edge Machine Learning (EdgeML) and Tiny Machine Learning (TinyML) are fast-growing fields that bring machine learning to resource-constrained devices, allowing real-time data processing and decision-making at the network’s edge. However, the complexity of model conversion techniques, diverse inference mechanisms, and varied learning strategies make designing and deploying these models challenging. Additionally, deploying TinyML models on resource-constrained hardware with specific software frameworks has broadened EdgeML’s applications across various sectors. These factors underscore the necessity for a comprehensive literature review, as current reviews do not systematically encompass the most recent findings on these topics. Consequently, it provides… More >

Abstract For optimization algorithms, the most important consideration is their global optimization performance. Our research is conducted with the hope that the algorithm can robustly find the optimal solution to the target problem at a lower computational cost or faster speed. For stochastic optimization algorithms based on population search methods, the search speed and solution quality are always contradictory. Suppose that the random range of the group search is larger; in that case, the probability of the algorithm converging to the global optimal solution is also greater, but the search speed will inevitably slow. The smaller… More >
