Abstract Cloud computing has gained significant recognition due to its ability to provide a broad range of online services and applications. Nevertheless, existing commercial cloud computing models demonstrate an appropriate design by concentrating computational assets, such as preservation and server infrastructure, in a limited number of large-scale worldwide data facilities. Optimizing the deployment of virtual machines (VMs) is crucial in this scenario to ensure system dependability, performance, and minimal latency. A significant barrier in the present scenario is the load distribution, particularly when striving for improved energy consumption in a hypothetical grid computing framework. This design… More >

Abstract This study focuses on the scheduling problem of unrelated parallel batch processing machines (BPM) with release times, a scenario derived from the moulding process in a foundry. In this process, a batch is initially formed, placed in a sandbox, and then the sandbox is positioned on a BPM for moulding. The complexity of the scheduling problem increases due to the consideration of BPM capacity and sandbox volume. To minimize the makespan, a new cooperated imperialist competitive algorithm (CICA) is introduced. In CICA, the number of empires is not a parameter, and four empires are maintained More >

Abstract With the widespread data collection and processing, privacy-preserving machine learning has become increasingly important in addressing privacy risks related to individuals. Support vector machine (SVM) is one of the most elementary learning models of machine learning. Privacy issues surrounding SVM classifier training have attracted increasing attention. In this paper, we investigate Differential Privacy-compliant Federated Machine Learning with Dimensionality Reduction, called Fed_DPDR-DPML, which greatly improves data utility while providing strong privacy guarantees. Considering in distributed learning scenarios, multiple participants usually hold unbalanced or small amounts of data. Therefore, Fed_DPDR-DPML enables multiple participants to collaboratively learn a global… More >

Abstract Three recent breakthroughs due to AI in arts and science serve as motivation: An award winning digital image, protein folding, fast matrix multiplication. Many recent developments in artificial neural networks, particularly deep learning (DL), applied and relevant to computational mechanics (solid, fluids, finite-element technology) are reviewed in detail. Both hybrid and pure machine learning (ML) methods are discussed. Hybrid methods combine traditional PDE discretizations with ML methods either (1) to help model complex nonlinear constitutive relations, (2) to nonlinearly reduce the model order for efficient simulation (turbulence), or (3) to accelerate the simulation by predicting… More >

Abstract The ongoing effort to create methods for detecting and quantifying fatigue damage is motivated by the high levels of uncertainty in present fatigue-life prediction approaches and the frequently catastrophic nature of fatigue failure. The fatigue life of high strength aluminum alloy 2090-T83 is predicted in this study using a variety of artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques for constant amplitude and negative stress ratios (). Artificial neural networks (ANN), adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS), support-vector machines (SVM), a random forest model (RF), and an extreme-gradient tree-boosting model (XGB) are trained using numerical and experimental input… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract With the advent of Machine and Deep Learning algorithms, medical image diagnosis has a new perception of diagnosis and clinical treatment. Regrettably, medical images are more susceptible to capturing noises despite the peak in intelligent imaging techniques. However, the presence of noise images degrades both the diagnosis and clinical treatment processes. The existing intelligent methods suffer from the deficiency in handling the diverse range of noise in the versatile medical images. This paper proposes a novel deep learning network which learns from the substantial extent of noise in medical data samples to alleviate this challenge.… More >

Abstract This paper is to explore the problems of intelligent connected vehicles (ICVs) autonomous driving decision-making under a 5G-V2X structured road environment. Through literature review and interviews with autonomous driving practitioners, this paper firstly puts forward a logical framework for designing a cerebrum-like autonomous driving system. Secondly, situated on this framework, it builds a hierarchical finite state machine (HFSM) model as well as a TOPSIS-GRA algorithm for making ICV autonomous driving decisions by employing a data fusion approach between the entropy weight method (EWM) and analytic hierarchy process method (AHP) and by employing a model fusion… More >

Abstract Thermal energy, i.e., the electromagnetic energy in the infrared range that originates from the direct solar radiation, outgoing terrestrial radiation, waste heat from combustion of fuels, heat-emitting electrical devices, decay of radioactive isotopes, organic putrefaction and fermentation, human body heat, and so on, constitutes a huge energy flux circulating on the earth surface. However, most energy converters designed for the conversion of electromagnetic energy into electricity, such as photovoltaic cells, are mainly focused on using a narrow part of the solar energy lying in the visible spectrum, while thermomechanical engines that are fueled by heat… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract This paper proposes a hybrid multi-object optimization method integrating a uniform design, an adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), and a multi-objective particle swarm optimizer (MOPSO) to optimize the rigid tapping parameters and minimize the synchronization errors and cycle times of computer numerical control (CNC) machines. First, rigid tapping parameters and uniform (including 41-level and 19-level) layouts were adopted to collect representative data for modeling. Next, ANFIS was used to build the model for the collected 41-level and 19-level uniform layout experiment data. In tapping center machines, the synchronization errors and cycle times are important… More >
