Abstract The permanent magnet eddy current coupler (PMEC) solves the problem of flexible connection and speed regulation between the motor and the load and is widely used in electrical transmission systems. It provides torque to the load and generates heat and losses, reducing its energy transfer efficiency. This issue has become an obstacle for PMEC to develop toward a higher power. This paper aims to improve the overall performance of PMEC through multi-objective optimization methods. Firstly, a PMEC modeling method based on the Levenberg-Marquardt back propagation (LMBP) neural network is proposed, aiming at the characteristics of the complex input-output relationship and… More >

Abstract In the era of network communication, digital image encryption (DIE) technology is critical to ensure the security of image data. However, there has been limited research on combining deep learning neural networks with chaotic mapping for the encryption of digital images. So, this paper addresses this gap by studying the generation of pseudo-random sequences (PRS) chaotic signals using dual logistic chaotic maps. These signals are then predicted using long and short-term memory (LSTM) networks, resulting in the reconstruction of a new chaotic signal. During the research process, it was discovered that there are numerous training parameters associated with the LSTM… More >

Abstract The distinction and precise identification of tumor nodules are crucial for timely lung cancer diagnosis and planning intervention. This research work addresses the major issues pertaining to the field of medical image processing while focusing on lung cancer Computed Tomography (CT) images. In this context, the paper proposes an improved lung cancer segmentation technique based on the strengths of nature-inspired approaches. The better resolution of CT is exploited to distinguish healthy subjects from those who have lung cancer. In this process, the visual challenges of the K-means are addressed with the integration of four nature-inspired swarm intelligent techniques. The techniques… More >

Abstract Medical image analysis is an active research topic, with thousands of studies published in the past few years. Transfer learning (TL) including convolutional neural networks (CNNs) focused to enhance efficiency on an innovative task using the knowledge of the same tasks learnt in advance.

Abstract To obtain the optimal Bayesian network (BN) structure, researchers often use the hybrid learning algorithm that combines the constraint-based (CB) method and the score-and-search (SS) method. This hybrid method has the problem that the search efficiency could be improved due to the ample search space. The search process quickly falls into the local optimal solution, unable to obtain the global optimal. Based on this, the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm based on the search space constraint process is proposed. In the first stage, the method uses dynamic adjustment factors to constrain the structure search space and enrich the diversity of… More >

Abstract Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a stochastic computation technique that has become an increasingly important branch of swarm intelligence optimization. However, like other evolutionary algorithms, PSO also suffers from premature convergence and entrapment into local optima in dealing with complex multimodal problems. Thus this paper puts forward an adaptive multi-updating strategy based particle swarm optimization (abbreviated as AMS-PSO). To start with, the chaotic sequence is employed to generate high-quality initial particles to accelerate the convergence rate of the AMS-PSO. Subsequently, according to the current iteration, different update schemes are used to regulate the particle search process at different evolution stages.… More >

Abstract Computing-intensive and latency-sensitive user requests pose significant challenges to traditional cloud computing. In response to these challenges, mobile edge computing (MEC) has emerged as a new paradigm that extends the computational, caching, and communication capabilities of cloud computing. By caching certain services on edge nodes, computational support can be provided for requests that are offloaded to the edges. However, previous studies on task offloading have generally not considered the impact of caching mechanisms and the cache space occupied by services. This oversight can lead to problems, such as high delays in task executions and invalidation of offloading decisions. To optimize… More >

Abstract Path planning is a prevalent process that helps mobile robots find the most efficient pathway from the starting position to the goal position to avoid collisions with obstacles. In this paper, we propose a novel path planning algorithm–Intermediary RRT*-PSO-by utilizing the exploring speed advantages of Rapidly exploring Random Trees and using its solution to feed to a metaheuristic-based optimizer, Particle swarm optimization (PSO), for fine-tuning and enhancement. In Phase 1, the start and goal trees are initialized at the starting and goal positions, respectively, and the intermediary tree is initialized at a random unexplored region of the search space.
