Abstract In recent years, with the continuous development of deep learning and knowledge graph reasoning methods, more and more researchers have shown great interest in improving knowledge graph reasoning methods by inferring missing facts through reasoning. By searching paths on the knowledge graph and making fact and link predictions based on these paths, deep learning-based Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents can demonstrate good performance and interpretability. Therefore, deep reinforcement learning-based knowledge reasoning methods have rapidly emerged in recent years and have become a hot research topic. However, even in a small and fixed knowledge graph reasoning action… More >

Abstract Artificial intelligence has been involved in several domains. Despite the advantages of using artificial intelligence techniques, some crucial limitations prevent them from being implemented in specific domains and locations. The accuracy, poor quality of gathered data, and processing time are considered major concerns in implementing machine learning techniques, certainly in low-end smart devices. This paper aims to introduce a novel pre-treatment technique dedicated to image text detection that uses the images’ pixel divergence and similarity to reduce the image size. Mitigating the image size while keeping its features improves the model training time with an… More >

Abstract Aiming at the problems of low solution accuracy and high decision pressure when facing large-scale dynamic task allocation (DTA) and high-dimensional decision space with single agent, this paper combines the deep reinforcement learning (DRL) theory and an improved Multi-Agent Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (MADDPG-D2) algorithm with a dual experience replay pool and a dual noise based on multi-agent architecture is proposed to improve the efficiency of DTA. The algorithm is based on the traditional Multi-Agent Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (MADDPG) algorithm, and considers the introduction of a double noise mechanism to increase the action exploration… More >

Abstract Intelligent penetration testing is of great significance for the improvement of the security of information systems, and the critical issue is the planning of penetration test paths. In view of the difficulty for attackers to obtain complete network information in realistic network scenarios, Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a promising solution to discover the optimal penetration path under incomplete information about the target network. Existing RL-based methods are challenged by the sizeable discrete action space, which leads to difficulties in the convergence. Moreover, most methods still rely on experts’ knowledge. To address these issues, this paper… More >

Abstract The diversity of data sources resulted in seeking effective manipulation and dissemination. The challenge that arises from the increasing dimensionality has a negative effect on the computation performance, efficiency, and stability of computing. One of the most successful optimization algorithms is Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) which has proved its effectiveness in exploring the highest influencing features in the search space based on its fast convergence and the ability to utilize a small set of parameters in the search task. This research proposes an effective enhancement of PSO that tackles the challenge of randomness search which… More >

Abstract When a line failure occurs in a power grid, a load transfer is implemented to reconfigure the network by changing the states of tie-switches and load demands. Computation speed is one of the major performance indicators in power grid load transfer, as a fast load transfer model can greatly reduce the economic loss of post-fault power grids. In this study, a reinforcement learning method is developed based on a deep deterministic policy gradient. The tedious training process of the reinforcement learning model can be conducted offline, so the model shows satisfactory performance in real-time operation, More >

Abstract An autonomous microgrid that runs on renewable energy sources is presented in this article. It has a superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) device, wind energy-producing devices, and an energy storage battery. However, because such microgrids are nonlinear and the energy they create varies with time, controlling and managing the energy inside them is a difficult issue. Fractional-order proportional integral (FOPI) controller is recommended for the current research to enhance a standalone microgrid’s energy management and performance. The suggested dedicated control for the SMES comprises two loops: the outer loop, which uses the FOPI to regulate… More >

Abstract Congenital heart disease (CHD), the most prevalent congenital ailment, has seen advancements in the “dual indicator” screening program. This facilitates the early-stage diagnosis and treatment of children with CHD, subsequently enhancing their survival rates. While cardiac auscultation offers an objective reflection of cardiac abnormalities and function, its evaluation is significantly influenced by personal experience and external factors, rendering it susceptible to misdiagnosis and omission. In recent years, continuous progress in artificial intelligence (AI) has enabled the digital acquisition, storage, and analysis of heart sound signals, paving the way for intelligent CHD auscultation-assisted diagnostic technology.

Abstract Recognizing handwritten characters remains a critical and formidable challenge within the realm of computer vision. Although considerable strides have been made in enhancing English handwritten character recognition through various techniques, deciphering Arabic handwritten characters is particularly intricate. This complexity arises from the diverse array of writing styles among individuals, coupled with the various shapes that a single character can take when positioned differently within document images, rendering the task more perplexing. In this study, a novel segmentation method for Arabic handwritten scripts is suggested. This work aims to locate the local minima of the vertical… More >

Abstract Due to the time-varying topology and possible disturbances in a conflict environment, it is still challenging to maintain the mission performance of flying Ad hoc networks (FANET), which limits the application of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) swarms in harsh environments. This paper proposes an intelligent framework to quickly recover the cooperative coverage mission by aggregating the historical spatio-temporal network with the attention mechanism. The mission resilience metric is introduced in conjunction with connectivity and coverage status information to simplify the optimization model. A spatio-temporal node pooling method is proposed to ensure all node location features… More >
