Abstract Icing is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature and widely observed in the micro/nanoconfinement, e.g., two-dimensional ice growth on Au surface, nanoconfinement-induced phase change, nanodroplet freezing on surface, etc. These complicated and abstruse processes and behaviours demand deep understanding from the microscale level by the aid of molecular dynamics (MD) simulation [1]. However, it is still a great challenge to accurately describe the ice and liquid water simultaneously with the present water models [1,2]. In response to this, we propose a series-parallel machine learning (ML) approach consisting of classification back-propagation neural network (BPNN), parallel regression BPNNs… More >

Abstract Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) was introduced by Thomas Hughes et al. with the aim of integrating CAD and FEA. IGA methods can be categorized into two groups: Conforming IGA, such as T-spline based IGA, and non-conforming IGA, such as immersed or embedded IGA. Embedded or immersed IGA methods do not require the construction of analysis-aware geometry, unlike conforming IGA methods such as T-spline based IGA. However, the Galerkin method does not directly apply to these methods, making it challenging for immersed IGA methods to impose strong Dirichlet boundary conditions directly. Nitsche's method is a popular approach… More >

Abstract The development of Intelligent Railway Transportation Systems necessitates incorporating privacy-preserving mechanisms into AI models to protect sensitive information and enhance system efficiency. Federated learning offers a promising solution by allowing multiple clients to train models collaboratively without sharing private data. However, despite its privacy benefits, federated learning systems are vulnerable to poisoning attacks, where adversaries alter local model parameters on compromised clients and send malicious updates to the server, potentially compromising the global model’s accuracy. In this study, we introduce PMM (Perturbation coefficient Multiplied by Maximum value), a new poisoning attack method that perturbs model More >

Abstract The article describes a new method for malware classification, based on a Machine Learning (ML) model architecture specifically designed for malware detection, enabling real-time and accurate malware identification. Using an innovative feature dimensionality reduction technique called the Interpolation-based Feature Dimensionality Reduction Technique (IFDRT), the authors have significantly reduced the feature space while retaining critical information necessary for malware classification. This technique optimizes the model’s performance and reduces computational requirements. The proposed method is demonstrated by applying it to the BODMAS malware dataset, which contains 57,293 malware samples and 77,142 benign samples, each with a 2381-feature… More >

Abstract This study explores the impact of hyperparameter optimization on machine learning models for predicting cardiovascular disease using data from an IoST (Internet of Sensing Things) device. Ten distinct machine learning approaches were implemented and systematically evaluated before and after hyperparameter tuning. Significant improvements were observed across various models, with SVM and Neural Networks consistently showing enhanced performance metrics such as F1-Score, recall, and precision. The study underscores the critical role of tailored hyperparameter tuning in optimizing these models, revealing diverse outcomes among algorithms. Decision Trees and Random Forests exhibited stable performance throughout the evaluation. While More >

Abstract Since the 1950s, when the Turing Test was introduced, there has been notable progress in machine language intelligence. Language modeling, crucial for AI development, has evolved from statistical to neural models over the last two decades. Recently, transformer-based Pre-trained Language Models (PLM) have excelled in Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks by leveraging large-scale training corpora. Increasing the scale of these models enhances performance significantly, introducing abilities like context learning that smaller models lack. The advancement in Large Language Models, exemplified by the development of ChatGPT, has made significant impacts both academically and industrially, capturing widespread… More >

Abstract Reviews have a significant impact on online businesses. Nowadays, online consumers rely heavily on other people's reviews before purchasing a product, instead of looking at the product description. With the emergence of technology, malicious online actors are using techniques such as Natural Language Processing (NLP) and others to generate a large number of fake reviews to destroy their competitors’ markets. To remedy this situation, several researches have been conducted in the last few years. Most of them have applied NLP techniques to preprocess the text before building Machine Learning (ML) or Deep Learning (DL) models… More >

Abstract Digital elevation models (DEMs) are essential tools in environmental science, particularly for hazard assessments and landscape analyses. However, their application across multiple environmental hazards simultaneously remains in need for a multi-aspect critical assessment to promote their effectiveness in comprehensive risk management. This paper aims to review and critically assess the application of DEMs in mapping and managing specific environmental hazards, namely floods, landslides, and coastal erosion. In this regard, it seeks to promote their utility of hazard maps as key tools in disaster risk reduction and environmental planning by employing high-resolution DEMs integrated with advanced More >

Abstract Communication could be an essential part of couples in their daily life. Based on Monitor and Acceptance Theory (MAT), the present study explored the mediating role of communication in the relationship between mindfulness and relationship quality among college-student couples. The research examined the dynamic relationship of monitoring and acceptance to relationship satisfaction in the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (APIM), and the mediating effect of positive or negative communications in these relationships. A total of 96 pairs of couples in the universities in Nanjing, China participated in the research. Momentary measurements were used to measure the momentary More >
