Abstract Detecting geomagnetic anomalies preceding earthquakes is a challenging yet promising area of research that has gained increasing attention in recent years. This study introduces a novel reconstruction-based modeling approach enhanced by negative learning, employing a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) network explicitly trained to accurately reconstruct non-seismic geomagnetic signals while intentionally amplifying reconstruction errors for seismic signals. By penalizing the model for accurately reconstructing seismic anomalies, the negative learning approach effectively magnifies the differences between normal and anomalous data. This strategic differentiation enhances the sensitivity of the BiLSTM network, enabling improved detection of subtle geomagnetic More >

Abstract With the increasing severity of network security threats, Network Intrusion Detection (NID) has become a key technology to ensure network security. To address the problem of low detection rate of traditional intrusion detection models, this paper proposes a Dual-Attention model for NID, which combines Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) to design two modules: the FocusConV and the TempoNet module. The FocusConV module, which automatically adjusts and weights CNN extracted local features, focuses on local features that are more important for intrusion detection. The TempoNet module focuses on global information, identifies… More >

Abstract Throughout the composite structure’s lifespan, it is subject to a range of environmental factors, including loads, vibrations, and conditions involving heat and humidity. These factors have the potential to compromise the integrity of the structure. The estimation of the fatigue life of composite materials is imperative for ensuring the structural integrity of these materials. In this study, a methodology is proposed for predicting the fatigue life of composites that integrates ultrasonic guided waves and machine learning modeling. The method first screens the ultrasonic guided wave signal features that are significantly affected by fatigue damage. Subsequently,… More >

Abstract Contemporary power network planning faces critical challenges from intensifying climate variability, including greenhouse effect amplification, extreme precipitation anomalies, and persistent thermal extremes. These meteorological disruptions compromise the reliability of renewable energy generation forecasts, particularly in photovoltaic (PV) systems. However, current predictive methodologies exhibit notable deficiencies in extreme weather monitoring, systematic transient phenomena analysis, and preemptive operational strategies, especially for cold-wave weather. In order to address these limitations, we propose a dual-phase data enhancement protocol that takes advantage of Time-series Generative Adversarial Networks (TimeGAN) for temporal pattern expansion and the K-medoids clustering algorithm for synthetic data… More >

Abstract Traffic forecasting with high precision aids Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) in formulating and optimizing traffic management strategies. The algorithms used for tuning the hyperparameters of the deep learning models often have accurate results at the expense of high computational complexity. To address this problem, this paper uses the Tree-structured Parzen Estimator (TPE) to tune the hyperparameters of the Long Short-term Memory (LSTM) deep learning framework. The Tree-structured Parzen Estimator (TPE) uses a probabilistic approach with an adaptive searching mechanism by classifying the objective function values into good and bad samples. This ensures fast convergence in… More >

Abstract Time series forecasting is important in the fields of finance, energy, and meteorology, but traditional methods often fail to cope with the complex nonlinear and nonstationary processes of real data. In this paper, we propose the FractalNet-LSTM model, which combines fractal convolutional units with recurrent long short-term memory (LSTM) layers to model time series efficiently. To test the effectiveness of the model, data with complex structures and patterns, in particular, with seasonal and cyclical effects, were used. To better demonstrate the obtained results and the formed conclusions, the model performance was shown on the datasets More >

Abstract Precisely forecasting the performance of Deep Learning (DL) models, particularly in critical areas such as Uniform Resource Locator (URL)-based threat detection, aids in improving systems developed for difficult tasks. In cybersecurity, recognizing harmful URLs is vital to lowering risks associated with phishing, malware, and other online-based attacks. Since it directly affects the model’s capacity to differentiate between benign and harmful URLs, finding the optimum mix of hyperparameters in DL models is a significant difficulty. Two commonly used architectures for sequential and spatial data processing, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)/Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) and Convolutional Neural Network… More >

Abstract Machine Learning (ML) algorithms play a pivotal role in Speech Emotion Recognition (SER), although they encounter a formidable obstacle in accurately discerning a speaker’s emotional state. The examination of the emotional states of speakers holds significant importance in a range of real-time applications, including but not limited to virtual reality, human-robot interaction, emergency centers, and human behavior assessment. Accurately identifying emotions in the SER process relies on extracting relevant information from audio inputs. Previous studies on SER have predominantly utilized short-time characteristics such as Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) due to their ability to capture… More >
