Abstract Grains are the most important food consumed globally, yet their yield can be severely impacted by pest infestations. Addressing this issue, scientists and researchers strive to enhance the yield-to-seed ratio through effective pest detection methods. Traditional approaches often rely on preprocessed datasets, but there is a growing need for solutions that utilize real-time images of pests in their natural habitat. Our study introduces a novel two-step approach to tackle this challenge. Initially, raw images with complex backgrounds are captured. In the subsequent step, feature extraction is performed using both hand-crafted algorithms (Haralick, LBP, and Color… More >

Abstract The rapid evolution of malware presents a critical cybersecurity challenge, rendering traditional signature-based detection methods ineffective against novel variants. This growing threat affects individuals, organizations, and governments, highlighting the urgent need for robust malware detection mechanisms. Conventional machine learning-based approaches rely on static and dynamic malware analysis and often struggle to detect previously unseen threats due to their dependency on predefined signatures. Although machine learning algorithms (MLAs) offer promising detection capabilities, their reliance on extensive feature engineering limits real-time applicability. Deep learning techniques mitigate this issue by automating feature extraction but may introduce computational overhead,… More >

Abstract The significance of precise energy usage forecasts has been highlighted by the increasing need for sustainability and energy efficiency across a range of industries. In order to improve the precision and openness of energy consumption projections, this study investigates the combination of machine learning (ML) methods with Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) values. The study evaluates three distinct models: the first is a Linear Regressor, the second is a Support Vector Regressor, and the third is a Decision Tree Regressor, which was scaled up to a Random Forest Regressor/Additions made were the third one which was… More >

Abstract Towards optimal k-prototype discovery, k-means-like algorithms give us inspirations of central samples collection, yet the unstable seed samples selection, the hypothesis of a circle-like pattern, and the unknown K are still challenges, particularly for non-predetermined data patterns. We propose an adaptive k-prototype clustering method (kProtoClust) which launches cluster exploration with a sketchy division of K clusters and finds evidence for splitting and merging. On behalf of a group of data samples, support vectors and outliers from the perspective of support vector data description are not the appropriate candidates for prototypes, while inner samples become the first candidates for… More >

Abstract Dementia is a neurological disorder that affects the brain and its functioning, and women experience its effects more than men do. Preventive care often requires non-invasive and rapid tests, yet conventional diagnostic techniques are time-consuming and invasive. One of the most effective ways to diagnose dementia is by analyzing a patient’s speech, which is cheap and does not require surgery. This research aims to determine the effectiveness of deep learning (DL) and machine learning (ML) structures in diagnosing dementia based on women’s speech patterns. The study analyzes data drawn from the Pitt Corpus, which contains… More >

Abstract This study presents an innovative approach to calculating the failure probability of slopes by incorporating fuzzy limit-state functions, a method that significantly enhances the accuracy and efficiency of slope stability analysis. Unlike traditional probabilistic techniques, this approach utilizes a least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) optimized with a grey wolf optimizer (GWO) and K-fold cross-validation (CV) to approximate the limit-state function, thus reducing computational complexity. The novelty of this work lies in its application to one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D), and three-dimensional (3D) slope models, demonstrating its versatility and high precision. The proposed method consistently achieves… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Open networks and heterogeneous services in the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) can lead to security and privacy challenges. One key requirement for such systems is the preservation of user privacy, ensuring a seamless experience in driving, navigation, and communication. These privacy needs are influenced by various factors, such as data collected at different intervals, trip durations, and user interactions. To address this, the paper proposes a Support Vector Machine (SVM) model designed to process large amounts of aggregated data and recommend privacy-preserving measures. The model analyzes data based on user demands and interactions with service More >

Abstract Accurately estimating the State of Health (SOH) and Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is crucial for the continuous and stable operation of battery management systems. However, due to the complex internal chemical systems of LIBs and the nonlinear degradation of their performance, direct measurement of SOH and RUL is challenging. To address these issues, the Twin Support Vector Machine (TWSVM) method is proposed to predict SOH and RUL. Initially, the constant current charging time of the lithium battery is extracted as a health indicator (HI), decomposed using Variational Modal Decomposition (VMD), and… More >

Abstract In engineering practice, it is often necessary to determine functional relationships between dependent and independent variables. These relationships can be highly nonlinear, and classical regression approaches cannot always provide sufficiently reliable solutions. Nevertheless, Machine Learning (ML) techniques, which offer advanced regression tools to address complicated engineering issues, have been developed and widely explored. This study investigates the selected ML techniques to evaluate their suitability for application in the hot deformation behavior of metallic materials.
