Abstract Soilcrete is a composite material of soil and cement that is highly valued in the construction industry. Accurate measurement of its mechanical properties is essential, but laboratory testing methods are expensive, time-consuming, and include inaccuracies. Machine learning (ML) algorithms provide a more efficient alternative for this purpose, so after assessment with a statistical extraction method, ML algorithms including back-propagation neural network (BPNN), K-nearest neighbor (KNN), radial basis function (RBF), feed-forward neural networks (FFNN), and support vector regression (SVR) for predicting the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of soilcrete, were proposed in this study. The developed models… More >

Abstract With the rapid expansion of multimedia data, protecting digital information has become increasingly critical. Reversible data hiding offers an effective solution by allowing sensitive information to be embedded in multimedia files while enabling full recovery of the original data after extraction. Audio, as a vital medium in communication, entertainment, and information sharing, demands the same level of security as images. However, embedding data in encrypted audio poses unique challenges due to the trade-offs between security, data integrity, and embedding capacity. This paper presents a novel interpolation-based reversible data hiding algorithm for encrypted audio that achieves… More >

Abstract To address uncertainties in satellite orbit error prediction, this study proposes a novel ensemble learning-based orbit prediction method specifically designed for the BeiDou navigation satellite system (BDS). Building on ephemeris data and perturbation corrections, two new models are proposed: attention-enhanced BPNN (AEBP) and Transformer-ResNet-BiLSTM (TR-BiLSTM). These models effectively capture both local and global dependencies in satellite orbit data. To further enhance prediction accuracy and stability, the outputs of these two models were integrated using the gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT) ensemble learning method, which was optimized through a grid search. The main contribution of this More >

Abstract The rising prevalence of diabetes in modern society underscores the urgent need for precise and efficient diagnostic tools to support early intervention and treatment. However, the inherent limitations of existing datasets, including significant class imbalances and inadequate sample diversity, pose challenges to the accurate prediction and classification of diabetes. Addressing these issues, this study proposes an innovative diabetes prediction framework that integrates a hybrid Convolutional Neural Network-Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (CNN-BiGRU) model for classification with Adaptive Synthetic Sampling (ADASYN) for data augmentation. ADASYN was employed to generate synthetic yet representative data samples, effectively mitigating class… More >

Abstract Large language models (LLMs) and natural language processing (NLP) have significant promise to improve efficiency and refine healthcare decision-making and clinical results. Numerous domains, including healthcare, are rapidly adopting LLMs for the classification of biomedical textual data in medical research. The LLM can derive insights from intricate, extensive, unstructured training data. Variants need to be accurately identified and classified to advance genetic research, provide individualized treatment, and assist physicians in making better choices. However, the sophisticated and perplexing language of medical reports is often beyond the capabilities of the devices we now utilize. Such an… More >

Abstract In this study, a machine learning-based predictive model was developed for the Musa petti Wind Farm in Sri Lanka to address the need for localized forecasting solutions. Using data on wind speed, air temperature, nacelle position, and actual power, lagged features were generated to capture temporal dependencies. Among 24 evaluated models, the ensemble bagging approach achieved the best performance, with R² values of 0.89 at 0 min and 0.75 at 60 min. Shapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) analysis revealed that while wind speed is the primary driver for short-term predictions, air temperature and nacelle position become more More >

Abstract Responding to the stochasticity and uncertainty in the power height of distributed photovoltaic power generation. This paper presents a distributed photovoltaic ultra-short-term power forecasting method based on Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) and Channel Attention Mechanism. First, Pearson’s correlation coefficient was utilized to filter out the meteorological factors that had a high impact on historical power. Second, the distributed PV power data were decomposed into a relatively smooth power series with different fluctuation patterns using variational modal decomposition (VMD). Finally, the reconstructed distributed PV power as well as other features are input into the combined CNN-SENet-BiLSTM… More >
