Abstract In high-renewable-energy power systems, the demand for fast-responding capabilities is growing. To address the limitations of conventional closed-loop frequency control, where the integral coefficient cannot dynamically adjust the frequency regulation command based on the state of charge (SoC) of energy storage units, this paper proposes a secondary frequency regulation control strategy based on variable integral coefficients for multiple energy storage units. First, a power-uniform controller is designed to ensure that thermal power units gradually take on more regulation power during the frequency regulation process. Next, a control framework based on variable integral coefficients is proposed… More >

Abstract Transfer learning is the predominant method for adapting pre-trained models on another task to new domains while preserving their internal architectures and augmenting them with requisite layers in Deep Neural Network models. Training intricate pre-trained models on a sizable dataset requires significant resources to fine-tune hyperparameters carefully. Most existing initialization methods mainly focus on gradient flow-related problems, such as gradient vanishing or exploding, or other existing approaches that require extra models that do not consider our setting, which is more practical. To address these problems, we suggest employing gradient-free heuristic methods to initialize the weights… More >

Abstract Sentiment analysis plays an important role in distilling and clarifying content from movie reviews, aiding the audience in understanding universal views towards the movie. However, the abundance of reviews and the risk of encountering spoilers pose challenges for efficient sentiment analysis, particularly in Arabic content. This study proposed a Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) machine learning (ML) model tailored for sentiment analysis in Arabic and English movie reviews. SGD allows for flexible model complexity adjustments, which can adapt well to the Involvement of Arabic language data. This adaptability ensures that the model can capture the nuances… More >

Abstract Malware attacks on Windows machines pose significant cybersecurity threats, necessitating effective detection and prevention mechanisms. Supervised machine learning classifiers have emerged as promising tools for malware detection. However, there remains a need for comprehensive studies that compare the performance of different classifiers specifically for Windows malware detection. Addressing this gap can provide valuable insights for enhancing cybersecurity strategies. While numerous studies have explored malware detection using machine learning techniques, there is a lack of systematic comparison of supervised classifiers for Windows malware detection. Understanding the relative effectiveness of these classifiers can inform the selection of… More >

Abstract Brain tumors come in various types, each with distinct characteristics and treatment approaches, making manual detection a time-consuming and potentially ambiguous process. Brain tumor detection is a valuable tool for gaining a deeper understanding of tumors and improving treatment outcomes. Machine learning models have become key players in automating brain tumor detection. Gradient descent methods are the mainstream algorithms for solving machine learning models. In this paper, we propose a novel distributed proximal stochastic gradient descent approach to solve the L-Smooth Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier for brain tumor detection. Firstly, the smooth hinge loss is… More >

Abstract Federated learning ensures data privacy and security by sharing models among multiple computing nodes instead of plaintext data. However, there is still a potential risk of privacy leakage, for example, attackers can obtain the original data through model inference attacks. Therefore, safeguarding the privacy of model parameters becomes crucial. One proposed solution involves incorporating homomorphic encryption algorithms into the federated learning process. However, the existing federated learning privacy protection scheme based on homomorphic encryption will greatly reduce the efficiency and robustness when there are performance differences between parties or abnormal nodes. To solve the above… More >

Abstract With the increasing prevalence of high-order systems in engineering applications, these systems often exhibit significant disturbances and can be challenging to model accurately. As a result, the active disturbance rejection controller (ADRC) has been widely applied in various fields. However, in controlling plant protection unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which are typically large and subject to significant disturbances, load disturbances and the possibility of multiple actuator faults during pesticide spraying pose significant challenges. To address these issues, this paper proposes a novel fault-tolerant control method that combines a radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) with a More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Data mining plays a crucial role in extracting meaningful knowledge from large-scale data repositories, such as data warehouses and databases. Association rule mining, a fundamental process in data mining, involves discovering correlations, patterns, and causal structures within datasets. In the healthcare domain, association rules offer valuable opportunities for building knowledge bases, enabling intelligent diagnoses, and extracting invaluable information rapidly. This paper presents a novel approach called the Machine Learning based Association Rule Mining and Classification for Healthcare Data Management System (MLARMC-HDMS). The MLARMC-HDMS technique integrates classification and association rule mining (ARM) processes. Initially, the chimp… More >

Abstract Rockburst is a phenomenon in which free surfaces are formed during excavation, which subsequently causes the sudden release of energy in the construction of mines and tunnels. Light rockburst only peels off rock slices without ejection, while severe rockburst causes casualties and property loss. The frequency and degree of rockburst damage increases with the excavation depth. Moreover, rockburst is the leading engineering geological hazard in the excavation process, and thus the prediction of its intensity grade is of great significance to the development of geotechnical engineering. Therefore, the prediction of rockburst intensity grade is one… More >

Abstract In the modern world, one of the most severe eye infections brought on by diabetes is known as diabetic retinopathy (DR), which will result in retinal damage, and, thus, lead to blindness. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) can be well treated with early diagnosis. Retinal fundus images of humans are used to screen for lesions in the retina. However, detecting DR in the early stages is challenging due to the minimal symptoms. Furthermore, the occurrence of diseases linked to vascular anomalies brought on by DR aids in diagnosing the condition. Nevertheless, the resources required for manually identifying… More >
