Abstract The early and precise identification of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) continues to pose considerable clinical difficulty due to subtle structural alterations and overlapping symptoms across the disease phases. This study presents a novel Deformable Attention Vision Transformer (DA-ViT) architecture that integrates deformable Multi-Head Self-Attention (MHSA) with a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) block for efficient classification of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) using Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. In contrast to traditional vision transformers, our deformable MHSA module preferentially concentrates on spatially pertinent patches through learned offset predictions, markedly diminishing processing demands while improving localized feature representation. DA-ViT contains only More >

Abstract Throughout the composite structure’s lifespan, it is subject to a range of environmental factors, including loads, vibrations, and conditions involving heat and humidity. These factors have the potential to compromise the integrity of the structure. The estimation of the fatigue life of composite materials is imperative for ensuring the structural integrity of these materials. In this study, a methodology is proposed for predicting the fatigue life of composites that integrates ultrasonic guided waves and machine learning modeling. The method first screens the ultrasonic guided wave signal features that are significantly affected by fatigue damage. Subsequently,… More >

Abstract The packaging quality of coaxial laser diodes (CLDs) plays a pivotal role in determining their optical performance and long-term reliability. As the core packaging process, high-precision laser welding requires precise control of process parameters to suppress optical power loss. However, the complex nonlinear relationship between welding parameters and optical power loss renders traditional trial-and-error methods inefficient and imprecise. To address this challenge, a physics-informed (PI) and data-driven collaboration approach for welding parameter optimization is proposed. First, thermal-fluid-solid coupling finite element method (FEM) was employed to quantify the sensitivity of welding parameters to physical characteristics, including… More >

Abstract Driven piles are used in many geological environments as a practical and convenient structural component. Hence, the determination of the drivability of piles is actually of great importance in complex geotechnical applications. Conventional methods of predicting pile drivability often rely on simplified physical models or empirical formulas, which may lack accuracy or applicability in complex geological conditions. Therefore, this study presents a practical machine learning approach, namely a Random Forest (RF) optimized by Bayesian Optimization (BO) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), which not only enhances prediction accuracy but also better adapts to varying geological environments… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Accurate and reliable fault detection is essential for the safe operation of electric vehicles. Support vector data description (SVDD) has been widely used in the field of fault detection. However, constructing the hypersphere boundary only describes the distribution of unlabeled samples, while the distribution of faulty samples cannot be effectively described and easily misses detecting faulty data due to the imbalance of sample distribution. Meanwhile, selecting parameters is critical to the detection performance, and empirical parameterization is generally time-consuming and laborious and may not result in finding the optimal parameters. Therefore, this paper proposes a… More >

Abstract Freezing of Gait (FOG) is the most common and disabling gait disorder in patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD), which seriously affects the life quality and social function of patients. This paper proposes a FOG recognition method based on the Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD). Firstly, VMD instead of the traditional time-frequency analysis method to complete adaptive decomposition to the FOG signal. Secondly, to improve the accuracy and speed of the recognition algorithm, use the CART model as the base classifier and perform the feature dimension reduction. Then use the RUSBoost ensemble algorithm to solve the problem… More >

Abstract The dendritic cell algorithm (DCA) is an excellent prototype for developing Machine Learning inspired by the function of the powerful natural immune system. Too many parameters increase complexity and lead to plenty of criticism in the signal fusion procedure of DCA. The loss function of DCA is ambiguous due to its complexity. To reduce the uncertainty, several researchers simplified the algorithm program; some introduced gradient descent to optimize parameters; some utilized searching methods to find the optimal parameter combination. However, these studies are either time-consuming or need to be revised in the case of non-convex… More >

Abstract Diabetes mellitus is a long-term condition characterized by hyperglycemia. It could lead to plenty of difficulties. According to rising morbidity in recent years, the world’s diabetic patients will exceed 642 million by 2040, implying that one out of every ten persons will be diabetic. There is no doubt that this startling figure requires immediate attention from industry and academia to promote innovation and growth in diabetes risk prediction to save individuals’ lives. Due to its rapid development, deep learning (DL) was used to predict numerous diseases. However, DL methods still suffer from their limited prediction… More >
