Abstract Reweighting adversarial examples during training plays an essential role in improving the robustness of neural networks, which lies in the fact that examples closer to the decision boundaries are much more vulnerable to being attacked and should be given larger weights. The probability margin (PM) method is a promising approach to continuously and path-independently measuring such closeness between the example and decision boundary. However, the performance of PM is limited due to the fact that PM fails to effectively distinguish the examples having only one misclassified category and the ones with multiple misclassified categories, where… More >

Abstract In a cloud manufacturing environment with abundant functionally equivalent cloud services, users naturally desire the highest-quality service(s). Thus, a comprehensive measurement of quality of service (QoS) is needed. Optimizing the plethora of cloud services has thus become a top priority. Cloud service optimization is negatively affected by untrusted QoS data, which are inevitably provided by some users. To resolve these problems, this paper proposes a QoS-aware cloud service optimization model and establishes QoS-information awareness and quantification mechanisms. Untrusted data are assessed by an information correction method. The weights discovered by the variable precision Rough Set, More >

Abstract As cloud system architectures evolve continuously, the interactions among distributed components in various roles become increasingly complex. This complexity makes it difficult to detect anomalies in cloud systems. The system status can no longer be determined through individual key performance indicators (KPIs) but through joint judgments based on synergistic relationships among distributed components. Furthermore, anomalies in modern cloud systems are usually not sudden crashes but rather gradual, chronic, localized failures or quality degradations in a weakly available state. Therefore, accurately modeling cloud systems and mining the hidden system state is crucial. To address this challenge,… More >

Abstract Developing a high-performance public key cryptosystem is crucial for numerous modern security applications. The Elliptic Curve Cryptosystem (ECC) has performance and resource-saving advantages compared to other types of asymmetric ciphers. However, the sequential design implementation for ECC does not satisfy the current applications’ performance requirements. Therefore, several factors should be considered to boost the cryptosystem performance, including the coordinate system, the scalar multiplication algorithm, and the elliptic curve form. The tripling-oriented (3DIK) form is implemented in this work due to its minimal computational complexity compared to other elliptic curves forms. This experimental study explores the… More >

Abstract Decision implication is a form of decision knowledge representation, which is able to avoid generating attribute implications that occur between condition attributes and between decision attributes. Compared with other forms of decision knowledge representation, decision implication has a stronger knowledge representation capability. Attribute granularization may facilitate the knowledge extraction of different attribute granularity layers and thus is of application significance. Decision implication canonical basis (DICB) is the most compact set of decision implications, which can efficiently represent all knowledge in the decision context. In order to mine all decision information on decision context under attribute More >

Abstract Railway passenger flow forecasting can help to develop sensible railway schedules, make full use of railway resources, and meet the travel demand of passengers. The structure of passenger flow in railway networks and the spatiotemporal relationship of passenger flow among stations are two distinctive features of railway passenger flow. Most of the previous studies used only a single feature for prediction and lacked correlations, resulting in suboptimal performance. To address the above-mentioned problem, we proposed the railway passenger flow prediction model called Flow-Similarity Attention Graph Convolutional Network (F-SAGCN). First, we constructed the passenger flow relations… More >

Abstract Handling service access in a cloud environment has been identified as a critical challenge in the modern internet world due to the increased rate of intrusion attacks. To address such threats towards cloud services, numerous techniques exist that mitigate the service threats according to different metrics. The rule-based approaches are unsuitable for new threats, whereas trust-based systems estimate trust value based on behavior, flow, and other features. However, the methods suffer from mitigating intrusion attacks at a higher rate. This article presents a novel Multi Fractal Trust Evaluation Model (MFTEM) to overcome these deficiencies. The… More >

Abstract A susceptible, exposed, infectious, quarantined and recovered (SEIQR) model with fuzzy parameters is studied in this work. Fuzziness in the model arises due to the different degrees of susceptibility, exposure, infectivity, quarantine and recovery among the computers under consideration due to the different sizes, models, spare parts, the surrounding environments of these PCs and many other factors like the resistance capacity of the individual PC against the virus, etc. Each individual PC has a different degree of infectivity and resistance against infection. In this scenario, the fuzzy model has richer dynamics than its classical counterpart More >

Abstract Recently, the importance of data analysis has increased significantly due to the rapid data increase. In particular, vehicle communication data, considered a significant challenge in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), has spatiotemporal characteristics and many missing values. High missing values in data lead to the decreased predictive performance of models. Existing missing value imputation models ignore the topology of transportation networks due to the structural connection of road networks, although physical distances are close in spatiotemporal image data. Additionally, the learning process of missing value imputation models requires complete data, but there are limitations in securing More >

Abstract Autonomous vehicles are currently regarded as an interesting topic in the AI field. For such vehicles, the lane where they are traveling should be detected. Most lane detection methods identify the whole road area with all the lanes built on it. In addition to having a low accuracy rate and slow processing time, these methods require costly hardware and training datasets, and they fail under critical conditions. In this study, a novel detection algorithm for a lane where a car is currently traveling is proposed by combining simple traditional image processing with lightweight machine learning… More >

Abstract Recently, multimodal sentiment analysis has increasingly attracted attention with the popularity of complementary data streams, which has great potential to surpass unimodal sentiment analysis. One challenge of multimodal sentiment analysis is how to design an efficient multimodal feature fusion strategy. Unfortunately, existing work always considers feature-level fusion or decision-level fusion, and few research works focus on hybrid fusion strategies that contain feature-level fusion and decision-level fusion. To improve the performance of multimodal sentiment analysis, we present a novel multimodal sentiment analysis model using BiGRU and attention-based hybrid fusion strategy (BAHFS). Firstly, we apply BiGRU to More >

Abstract Hyperparameters play a vital impact in the performance of most machine learning algorithms. It is a challenge for traditional methods to configure hyperparameters of the capsule network to obtain high-performance manually. Some swarm intelligence or evolutionary computation algorithms have been effectively employed to seek optimal hyperparameters as a combinatorial optimization problem. However, these algorithms are prone to get trapped in the local optimal solution as random search strategies are adopted. The inspiration for the hybrid rice optimization (HRO) algorithm is from the breeding technology of three-line hybrid rice in China, which has the advantages of… More >

Abstract Attribute reduction, as one of the essential applications of the rough set, has attracted extensive attention from scholars. Information granulation is a key step of attribute reduction, and its efficiency has a significant impact on the overall efficiency of attribute reduction. The information granulation of the existing neighborhood rough set models is usually a single layer, and the construction of each information granule needs to search all the samples in the universe, which is inefficient. To fill such gap, a new neighborhood rough set model is proposed, which aims to improve the efficiency of attribute… More >

Abstract Mining more discriminative temporal features to enrich temporal context representation is considered the key to fine-grained action recognition. Previous action recognition methods utilize a fixed spatiotemporal window to learn local video representation. However, these methods failed to capture complex motion patterns due to their limited receptive field. To solve the above problems, this paper proposes a lightweight Temporal Pyramid Excitation (TPE) module to capture the short, medium, and long-term temporal context. In this method, Temporal Pyramid (TP) module can effectively expand the temporal receptive field of the network by using the multi-temporal kernel decomposition without More >
