Abstract Imbalanced data classification is one of the major problems in machine learning. This imbalanced dataset typically has significant differences in the number of data samples between its classes. In most cases, the performance of the machine learning algorithm such as Support Vector Machine (SVM) is affected when dealing with an imbalanced dataset. The classification accuracy is mostly skewed toward the majority class and poor results are exhibited in the prediction of minority-class samples. In this paper, a hybrid approach combining data pre-processing technique and SVM algorithm based on improved Simulated Annealing (SA) was proposed. Firstly, the data pre-processing technique which… More >

Abstract At present, deep learning has been well applied in many fields. However, due to the high complexity of hypothesis space, numerous training samples are usually required to ensure the reliability of minimizing experience risk. Therefore, training a classifier with a small number of training examples is a challenging task. From a biological point of view, based on the assumption that rich prior knowledge and analogical association should enable human beings to quickly distinguish novel things from a few or even one example, we proposed a dynamic analogical association algorithm to make the model use only a few labeled samples for… More >

Abstract Many search-based algorithms have been successfully applied in several software engineering activities. Genetic algorithms (GAs) are the most used in the scientific domains by scholars to solve software testing problems. They imitate the theory of natural selection and evolution. The harmony search algorithm (HSA) is one of the most recent search algorithms in the last years. It imitates the behavior of a musician to find the best harmony. Scholars have estimated the similarities and the differences between genetic algorithms and the harmony search algorithm in diverse research domains. The test data generation process represents a critical task in software validation.… More >

Abstract Testing is an integral part of software development. Current fast-paced system developments have rendered traditional testing techniques obsolete. Therefore, automated testing techniques are needed to adapt to such system developments speed. Model-based testing (MBT) is a technique that uses system models to generate and execute test cases automatically. It was identified that the test data generation (TDG) in many existing model-based test case generation (MB-TCG) approaches were still manual. An automatic and effective TDG can further reduce testing cost while detecting more faults. This study proposes an automated TDG approach in MB-TCG using the extended finite state machine model (EFSM).… More >

Abstract For rechargeable wireless sensor networks, limited energy storage capacity, dynamic energy supply, low and dynamic duty cycles cause that it is unpractical to maintain a fixed routing path for packets delivery permanently from a source to destination in a distributed scenario. Therefore, before data delivery, a sensor has to update its waking schedule continuously and share them to its neighbors, which lead to high energy expenditure for reestablishing path links frequently and low efficiency of energy utilization for collecting packets. In this work, we propose the maximum data generation rate routing protocol based on data flow controlling technology. For a… More >
