Abstract Predictive maintenance plays a crucial role in preventing equipment failures and minimizing operational downtime in modern industries. However, traditional predictive maintenance methods often face challenges in adapting to diverse industrial environments and ensuring the transparency and fairness of their predictions. This paper presents a novel predictive maintenance framework that integrates deep learning and optimization techniques while addressing key ethical considerations, such as transparency, fairness, and explainability, in artificial intelligence driven decision-making. The framework employs an Autoencoder for feature reduction, a Convolutional Neural Network for pattern recognition, and a Long Short-Term Memory network for temporal analysis.… More >

Abstract Software defect prediction is a critical component in maintaining software quality, enabling early identification and resolution of issues that could lead to system failures and significant financial losses. With the increasing reliance on user-generated content, social media reviews have emerged as a valuable source of real-time feedback, offering insights into potential software defects that traditional testing methods may overlook. However, existing models face challenges like handling imbalanced data, high computational complexity, and insufficient integration of contextual information from these reviews. To overcome these limitations, this paper introduces the SESDP (Sentiment Analysis-Based Early Software Defect Prediction)… More >

Abstract Infrared and visible light image fusion technology integrates feature information from two different modalities into a fused image to obtain more comprehensive information. However, in low-light scenarios, the illumination degradation of visible light images makes it difficult for existing fusion methods to extract texture detail information from the scene. At this time, relying solely on the target saliency information provided by infrared images is far from sufficient. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a lightweight infrared and visible light image fusion method based on low-light enhancement, named LLE-Fuse. The method is based on the… More >

Abstract In the field of Weakly Supervised Semantic Segmentation (WSSS), methods based on image-level annotation face challenges in accurately capturing objects of varying sizes, lacking sensitivity to image details, and having high computational costs. To address these issues, we improve the dual-branch architecture of the Conformer as the fundamental network for generating class activation graphs, proposing a multi-scale efficient weakly-supervised semantic segmentation method based on the improved Conformer. In the Convolution Neural Network (CNN) branch, a cross-scale feature integration convolution module is designed, incorporating multi-receptive field convolution layers to enhance the model’s ability to capture long-range… More >

Abstract Fundoscopic diagnosis involves assessing the proper functioning of the eye’s nerves, blood vessels, retinal health, and the impact of diabetes on the optic nerves. Fundus disorders are a major global health concern, affecting millions of people worldwide due to their widespread occurrence. Fundus photography generates machine-based eye images that assist in diagnosing and treating ocular diseases such as diabetic retinopathy. As a result, accurate fundus detection is essential for early diagnosis and effective treatment, helping to prevent severe complications and improve patient outcomes. To address this need, this article introduces a Derivative Model for Fundus… More >

Abstract In recent years, the number of patients with colon disease has increased significantly. Colon polyps are the precursor lesions of colon cancer. If not diagnosed in time, they can easily develop into colon cancer, posing a serious threat to patients’ lives and health. A colonoscopy is an important means of detecting colon polyps. However, in polyp imaging, due to the large differences and diverse types of polyps in size, shape, color, etc., traditional detection methods face the problem of high false positive rates, which creates problems for doctors during the diagnosis process. In order to… More >

Abstract Intrusion detection (ID) is a cyber security practice that encompasses the process of monitoring network activities to identify unauthorized or malicious actions. This includes problems like the difficulties of existing intrusion detection models to identify emerging attacks, generating many false alarms, and their inability and difficulty to adapt themselves with time when it comes to threats, hence to overcome all those existing challenges in this research develop a Prairie Araneida optimization based fused Convolutional Neural Network model (PAO-CNN) for intrusion detection. The fused CNN (Convolutional Neural Netowrk) is a remarkable development since it combines statistical… More >

Abstract The integration of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) into Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) holds transformative potential for real-time traffic monitoring, a critical component of emerging smart city infrastructure. UAVs offer unique advantages over stationary traffic cameras, including greater flexibility in monitoring large and dynamic urban areas. However, detecting small, densely packed vehicles in UAV imagery remains a significant challenge due to occlusion, variations in lighting, and the complexity of urban landscapes. Conventional models often struggle with these issues, leading to inaccurate detections and reduced performance in practical applications. To address these challenges, this paper introduces CFEMNet,… More >
