This paper proposes a new multi-scale information fusion based on convolution kernel pyramid and dilated convolution for Wushu moving object detection. The proposed model uses a variety of ways to fuse the feature information. First, the multi-layer feature map information with different sizes is fused by the per-pixel addition method. Then the feature map of different stages is splicing in the channel dimension to form the information fusion feature layer with rich semantic information and detail information as the prediction layer of the model. In this model, convolution kernel pyramid structure is introduced into the anchor frame mechanism to solve the multi-scale
problem of detecting objects. The number of parameters increased by large convolution kernel is reduced by using dilated convolution to reduce the number of anchor frames reasonably. Experimental results show that the proposed fusion algorithm has certain anti-interference ability and high precision for moving object detection in complex environment compared the state-of-the-art methods.

The research on Tai Chi is helpful to improve people's exercise level. There is a problem with low efficiency in traditional Tai Chi motion feature extraction. Therefore, we propose a spatio-temporal weight Tai Chi motion feature extraction based on deep network cross-layer feature fusion. According to the selected motion spatio-temporal sample, the corresponding spatio-temporal motion key frame is extracted and output in the form of static image. The initial motion image is preprocessed by motion object detection and image enhancement. Traditional convolutional neural network extracts features from the shallow to the deep and builds a classifier for image classification, which is easy to ignore the shallow features. Based on the AlexNet network, a CL-AlexNet network is proposed. Batch normalization (BN) is used for data normalization. The cross-connection structure is introduced and the sensitivity analysis is performed. The Inception module is embedded for multi-scale depth feature extraction. It integrates deep features and shallow features. The spatio-temporal weight adaptive interpolation method is used to reduce the error of
edge detection. From the edge features and the motion spatio-temporal features, it realizes motion features extraction, and outputs the extraction results. Compared with the state-of-the-art feature extraction algorithms, the experiment results show that the proposed algorithm can extract more effective features. The recognition rate exceeds 90%. It can be used as guidance and evidence for Tai Chi training.

Therefore, this paper proposes a new multi-feature data fusion method for
Electroencephalography (EEG) tristimania recognition. It combines common space model and recurrent convolutional neural networks to classify the tristimania group and control group. According to the phase lock value, the phase
synchronization functional network between electrode channels is constructed, and the functional connection modes of two kinds under different frequency bands are analyzed. The Xception network and LSTM are used as two non-interfering parts to extract two feature matrices from EEG tristimania signals. They are fused into a single feature matrix by merge algorithm. The single feature matrix is input into the recurrent convolutional neural networks (RCNN) for feature extraction and pooling. L2 regularized Softmax function is used as the classifier to complete the training and testing of RCNN. Finally, combining the Fisher score feature selection method and the classifier dependency structure, a low dimensional and efficient feature subset is obtained. Experimental results on public tristimania data sets validate that the proposed method has better effect in terms of accuracy and PLV compared with other strategies.

With the popularization and application of mobile robots, if the efficiency of mobile robots path is not high, the working quality will be seriously affected. How to quickly plan an effective safe path is of great research significance and practical application value. Therefore, we propose a novel A* algorithm based on Bio-inspired algorithm for mobile robot path planning. Firstly, the synchronous bidirectional A* algorithm is used to optimize
the pheromone of ant colony algorithm, and the transition probability and pheromone update mechanism of ant colony algorithm are improved, so that the global optimization speed of the algorithm is faster and the path length of mobile robot is shortened. Furthermore, the static path is used to initialize the pigeon algorithm. Then, the improved pigeon algorithm is utilized to plan the local path of the mobile robot, and the simulated annealing criterion is introduced to solve the local optimal problem. The logarithmic S-type transfer function is adopted to optimize the step size of the pigeon number, so that the collision with the dynamic obstacles can be better avoided. Finally, a modified B-spline curve is used to smooth
and re-plan the path. The simulation results show that the proposed method can realize path planning more effectively in complex dynamic environment.

certificates are realized through the authoritative certificate center, but amount of time is spent in the
transmission and verification of user public key certificates. After a malicious user obtaining legitimate users’
private keys, he can select a secret value and signature process to generate the final private key, public key and signature. And he will announce that he is the legal user, while others are unable to distinguish this process. This is the defect of traditional digital signature scheme without certificate. Therefore, this paper proposes a certificateless short signature scheme based on integrated neural networks and elliptic curve cryptography for secure data fusion analysis. The security of the solution is based on Inv-CDH problem. The complete security
proof is given under the stochastic predictor model. It is proved that the new model can resist existence forgery in adaptive selective message attack with new adversary. Experiment results show that the calculation amount of our proposed certificateless short signature scheme is small and the efficiency is high compared with other state-of-the-art schemes.

First, the short-time Fourier transform is used to obtain the EEG time-frequency map. Then, it builds a new feature pyramid network(FPN). The attention mechanism module is integrated into the FPN module, and the channel spatial weighted fusion-oriented feature pyramid network is proposed. This new structure can not only learn the weight of important channel features in the feature map, but also learn the representation of important feature areas in the network layers. Meanwhile, Skip-FPN module is added into the network structure, which fuses more details of EEG signals through short connections. The Dropout layer is added to prevent network training from over-fitting. In the classification model, we improve the AdaBoost algorithm to automatically update the base learner according to the classification error rate. Finally, the proposed model is used to classify the test data and the Kappa value is used as the evaluation index. Compared with the state-of-the-art motor image EEG signal recognition methods, the proposed method achieves better performance on the BCI Competition IV 2b data set. It has good generalization ability and can improve the classification effect.

It is an important task for smart classroom to
explore how to use big data to detect and recognize students behavior. Traditional recognition methods have some defects, such as low efficiency, edge blur, time-consuming, etc. In this paper, we propose a new students behaviour recognition
method based on spatio-temporal attention fusion model. It makes full use of key spatio-temporal information of video, the problem of spatio-temporal information redundancy is solved. Firstly, the channel attention mechanism is introduced into the spatio-temporal network, and the channel information is calibrated by modeling the dependency relationship between feature channels. It can improve the expression ability of features. Secondly, a time attention model based on convolutional neural network (CNN) is proposed, which uses fewer parameters to learn the attention score of each frame,
focusing on the frames with obvious behaviour amplitude. Meanwhile, a multi-spatial attention model is presented to calculate the attention score of each position in each frame from different angles, extract several saliency areas of behaviour, and fuse the spatio-temporal features to further enhance the feature representation of video. Finally, the fused features are input into the classification network, and the behaviour recognition results are obtained by combining the two output streams according to different weights. Experiment results on HMDB51, UCF101 datasets and eight typical classroom behaviors of students show that the proposed method can effectively recognize the behaviours in videos. The accuracy of HMDB51 is higher than 90%, that of UCF101 and real data are higher than 90%.

cultural and relational aspects. The employee selection tools used by the organization with the upcoming the fourth industrial revolution provide HR staff, but also candidates, with more comprehensive and in-depth information about the candidate's
personality and the characteristics and life of the organization.

OBJECTIVES: In our paper, we will focus on finding out which selection tools organizations use in practice, which selection tools they experience from the past and what new tools are being promoted. We will also focus on how the choice of tools is influenced by the size and location of the organization and whether organizations focus on revising and changing them.

METHODS: We surveyed a relevant sample of Slovak organizations in the period 2014-2018. Based on the results of the questionnaire survey, the authors carried out several partial activities such as evaluation of the current state by descriptive statistics, statistical evaluation of formulated hypotheses and evaluation of the overall change of analyzed attributes in the observed period using the basic index of change.

RESULTS: The part of the survey focused on the selection of employees showed that the most important methods in the selection of employees are long-term one-to-one interviews and references. Although organizations are still expanding their
portfolio of employee selection tools, the two tools are the most widely used. So far, organizations are hesitant to use the tools coming with the Fourth Industrial Revolution. And they use them on a much smaller scale than traditional selection tools.

CONCLUSION: Organizations in the selection process innovate only to a small extent the used tools of employee selection. Which can be described as a significant competitive disadvantage, as modern technologies not only speed up and improve their work, but also increase the attractiveness of the organization and the validity of the outputs.

behavioral science. For instance, online social networks such as Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook change rapidly
as new users appear in the graph. For all these networks, the more challenging task is to find and recommend
friends to the users. In case of social graph, the foremost objective of link prediction is to predict which new
links are likely to be appearing from the actual state of the graph. Varieties of methods have been developed
such as probabilistic, maximum likelihood and similarity-based techniques where similarity-based techniques
are considered as the best prediction methods. Similarity-based methods uses a strategy, where each pair of
nodes assigned a similarity score such that more similar nodes have more chances to connect in a future.
Similarity estimation works on the global and local features i.e. path, random walk and neighbors. Local
features are those features of node that consider at node level i.e. adjacent neighbors nodes. On the other
hand, global features are those type of features that considers at graph level i.e. path between two nodes.
Our hypothesis is that the combination of both local and global features is more powerful predictor for link
formation. Here in this study, we have evaluated global, local and hybrid similarity measures. Moreover, we
also proposed a hybrid approach GLOS. We performed experiments on five different dataset (Astor, CondMat,
GrQc, HepPh and HepTh). After the result evaluation, it is found that, hybrid approach GLOS obtained
the highest accuracy by 1 on all the dataset, while, global approaches could not produced lowest accuracy
on all dataset. On the other hand, HP from local similarity outperformed than rest of the local and global
approaches.

Predicting the least air polluted healthier path is the best alternative way to mitigate personal air pollution exposure risk. Computing the least polluted path for the current time might not be helpful for real-time applications. Therefore, we develop a routing algorithm based on a neural network-based CNN-LSTM-EBK (CLE), a temporal-spatial interpolation model. The proposed model predicts pollution levels at high temporal granularity. This paper introduces a weight function to compute air pollution concentration at the road network. It also predicts the least air polluted path among all possible paths from a source to a destination at different time granularity. The results show that the predicted path may be longer than the shortest route but minimize pollution exposure risk all the time, which proves its effectiveness during daily transportation.

The algorithms included DDAE, MWMOTE, SMOTE, RUSBoost, AdaBoost, cost-sensitive decision tree (csDCT), self-paced Ensemble Classifier, MetaCost, CAdaMEC and Iterative Metric Learning (IML). As the substantial bias potentially caused by imbalance classification can be harmful for underrepresented classes which are of critical social and economic values and even lives, the main objective of our study is thus to understand the impact of imbalance ratio and the size of the utilized datasets on the performance of the above-mentioned algorithms. Our experiments show that 1) Sampling methods perform the worst and cannot be used directly for imbalanced classification, since they lack of consideration of neighborhoods based on distance. However, some classifiers can be improved after the balance of class distribution. 2) Cost-sensitive learning models should be utilized when the dataset is less imbalanced, because it is difficult to set an appropriate cost matrix for a specific dataset, which can cause performance fluctuations. 3) IML consistently shows good performance (in terms of F1 and AUCPRC), is resilient to different imbalance ratios but sensitive to the data distribution of the dataset. 4) Ensemble learning techniques generally perform better over other approaches due to theircombined intelligence of multiple basic classifiers. 5) In terms of system performance, self-paced Ensemble Classifier performs fairly well with regards to learning time, while IML and DDAE yield the longest learningtime; AdaBoost and self-paced Ensemble Classifier are two algorithms require lowest memory usage. Wealso provide our empirical recommendation for algorithm selection under different requirements and usagescenarios based on our analysis.

It is necessary to detect stress at an early stage to prevent its adverse effects on our physical and psychological health. The paper presents a stress detection model using physiological signals. In this paper, WESAD (Wearable and Stress Affect Detection) dataset is used which consists of physiological data recorded from both the chest and wrist. Further, a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) based model is used to detect stress. The simulation results indicate that, indeed, Electrocardiograph (ECG), Electromyogram (EMG), and Respiration (RESP) signals may not be necessary for identifying stress. A three-way validation is carried out with an accuracy of 98%. The novelty of the paper is the way time-series data is handled to make it closer to real-time data captured from sensors. The work can be used widely in clinical practices to detect stress at an early stage.

To extract this information for using in diverse natural language processing applications, identifying the names is prerequisite. A study is presented here, to identify automobile names from noisy web reviews by exploring two widely used machine learning algorithms, Conditional Random Field and Support Vector Machine. The accuracy of machine learning classifiers radically rely on size and quality of training data which has been prepared manually by extracting discussion forum corpus; the task is time consuming and laborious; hence to leverage this word embedding is adopted. Though it enhances the system’s performance but is unable to spot noisy names which occur in web reviews. Next, a gazetteer based string matching technique is proposed, it recognizes a new set of noisy automobile entities, resulting considerable improvement in accuracy.

different systems, has led companies that operate in the environment to continually improve their social,
environmental, and ethical performance.

OBJECTIVES: This paper aims to propose a fuzzy-logic-based model for the analysis of social corporate
responsibility in cases of environmental accidents.

METHODS: Our study employs techniques derived from social network analysis. The data was collected from the
online database of The New York Times for the timespan from March 24, 1989, to September 1, 2017.

RESULTS: The results show that the proposed model can be replicated, after some adjustments.

CONCLUSION: We conclude that, despite the complexity of an analysis of this kind in which the model is applied
considering isolated words in the text and not the semantic aspects, the proposed model based on fuzzy logic is
adequate for the analysis of social corporate responsibility.

There are many existing machine learning models for predicting iType-II diabetics in short term future or in unspecified future. But obtaining a model having optimal performance and predicting diabetes risk in long term future are the main problems. These problems are handled in this work by proposing a stacking based integrated KELM imodel to predict the risk of diabetes Type-II for a person within five years after assessment. The Pima Indian Diabetic Dataset (PIDD) and a Diabetic Research Center dataset are used in this study. A Min-Max normalization is used to pre-process the noisy datasets. The HAFPSO algorithm used in this work explores the best combination of Base learners by increasing the Classification Accuracy (CA) and decreasing the kernel complexity of the optimal learners. Finally, the model is integrated by utilizing the KELM as a meta-classifier that combines the predictions of the twenty Base Learners. The proposed method is assessed with different measures such as accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, Mathews Correlation Coefficient, and Kappa Statistics. The proposed KELM-HAFPSO approach has got better values of the considered metrics confirming its effectiveness in identifying type-II diabetes. The proposed method helps the clinicians to predict the patients who are at a high risk of Type-II diabetes in the future with the highest accuracy of 98.5%. The results obtained show that the KELM-HAFPSO approach is a promising new tool for identifying type-II diabetes.

First, we proposed the Convex hull algorithm to calculate a set of extreme points with the neighbouring nodes and the duration of the message remains restricted as the number of nodes increases. Second, we proposed a Naïve Bayes classifier and convolution neural network (CNN) to improve the convergence performance and find the node faults. Finally, we analyze convex hull, Naïve bayes and CNN algorithms using real-world datasets to identify and organize the faults. Simulation and experimental outcomes retain feasibility and efficiency and show that the CNN algorithm has better-identified faults than the convex hull algorithm based on performance metrics.

Software-Defined Network (SDN) has been defined as a promising solution for providing efficient network management by decoupling the data and control planes from the network devices and enables programmability of network devices. The major challenge in SDN is identification of number of controllers to be placed and its optimal placements in the network. To address this issue, this work proposes a Traffic Engineering mechanism that leverages the performance of Machine Learning to predict controller numbers by analysing and predicting the controller’s traffic. The optimal locations of controllers are identified by using the K-Means++ algorithm. The proposed method is simulated using Mininet and the results depict that the proposed methodology outperforms the existing methodologies in terms of performance parameters.

Recent stud…In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), the data transmission from the sensing node to the sink node consumes a lot of energy as the number of communications increases, so the battery life of nodes is limited, and the network also has a limited lifetime. Recent studies show that the bio-inspired meta-heuristic algorithms for solving engineering problems such as energy reduction in autonomous networks in the multidisciplinary areas of WSN, Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine learning models. Hence to increase Network lifetime, optimized clustering and energy-efficient routing techniques are required. In all applications of WSN, not only energy-efficient but also delay and throughput of the network are important for efficient transmission of data to the destination. This paper analyses optimized clustering by selecting cluster heads based on fractional calculus earthworm optimization algorithm (FEWA). The route from cluster heads to sink node is selected based on the fit factor. This paper's main intention is to provide an extensive comparative study of the FEWA with all standard optimization-based clustering and routing techniques. This method's performance is compared with existing optimized clustering methods like GA, PSO, ACO, DE and EWO in terms of the number of energy, delay, and throughput. At the end of 1000 iterations, the analysis shows that the FEWA outperforms existing methods with maximum average remaining energy of the nodes as 0.216J, the minimum average delay of 0.208 sec and maximum average throughput of 88.57% for 100 nodes.

However, the human ability to identify patterns from such data has not scaled accordingly. Consequently, efficient computational approaches for condensing and simplifying data are becoming essential for uncovering actionable insights, especially the big social networks. Many large datasets analyzed today are represented with the help of graphs. In many real-world applications, summarizing large graphs is beneficial to achieve a number of advantages, including 1) significant speedup for graph algorithms, 2) graph storage space reduction, 3) faster network transmission, 4) improved data privacy, 5) more effective graph visualization, etc. All these benefits can be obtained from the summarized graph, if it is summarized accurately. The quality of the summary graph is mostly measured using the Reconstruction Error (RE). In the existing literature, RE is a very challenging task. Most of the approaches investigated so farending up with high value of RE. Hence, the summarized graph does not express the original graph completely due to the high value of the RE. Therefore, in this work we have examined how can we summarize a big graph structure into a compact summary by reducing its RE and ensuring its usefulness. For this task, we have proposed a novel graph summarization approach, called g-Sum, to calculate the graph structure summaries while minimizing RE and compare to the existing work in the domain. The functionality of the g-Sum is decomposed into three different, but interlinked phases; (1)- graph dataset pre-processing; (2)- graph partitioning; and (3)- graph summarization. We have performed an extensive series of experiments on different real-world social graph dataset, including Ego-Facebook, Enron Email and Web-Stanford graph datasets. The computed results show the effectiveness of the g-Sum and also compared with the state-of-the-art graph summarization approaches, S2L and GraSS.

However, the infrastructure for accommodating these vehicles has grown
relatively slow. Alleviating the pressure on the urban transport system and solving the ‘parking difficulty’ problem have thus become hot topics recently. In this paper, an intelligent parking system based on geomagnetic field variations is presented to solve
this problem. An algorithm which detects the presence of vehicles in parking spaces in a parking lot is designed and field test results are presented. Our results show that this system has an acceptably high accuracy with low cost, high feasibility, high efficiency and hence is recommended for wide use.

Researchers have used different Data Mining and Internet of Things (IoT) for enrooting a programmed solution for diabetes and heart patients. However, still, more advanced and united solution is needed that can offer a therapeutic opinion to individual diabetic and cardio patients. Therefore, here, a smart data mining and IoT (SMDIoT) based advanced healthcare system for proficient diabetes and cardiovascular diseases have been proposed. The hybridization of data mining and IoT with other emerging computing techniques is supposed to give an effective and economical solution to diabetes and cardio patients. SMDIoT hybridized the ideas of data mining, Internet of Things, chatbots, contextual entity search (CES), bio-sensors, semantic analysis and granular computing (GC). The bio-sensors of the proposed system assist in getting the current and precise status of the concerned patients so that in case of an emergency, the needful medical assistance can be provided. The novelty lies in the hybrid framework and the adequate support of chatbots, granular computing, context entity search and semantic analysis. The practical implementation of this system is very challenging and costly. However, it appears to be more operative and economical solution for diabetes and cardio patients.

Cancer starts from breast and spread to other part of the body. People are unable to identify their disease before it become dangerous. It can be cured if the disease identified at early stage. Accurate classification of benign tumours can avoid patients undergoing unnecessary treatments. Data Analytics and machine learning methods provides framework for prognostic studies by errorless classification of data instances into relevant based on the cancer severity. In this study we have purposed a prediction model by combining artificial intelligent based learning technique with multivariate statistical method. For automation of the diagnosis process data mining plays an significant role. The data sets available in different repositories are noisy in nature. This study suggests a hybrid feature selection method to be used with PCA (Principal Component Analysis) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Preprocessing of data and extracting the most relevant features done by PCA. The proposed algorithm is tested by applying it on Wisconsin Breast Cancer Dataset from UCI Repository of Machine Learning Databases. In classification phase 10 fold cross validation was used. The suggested algorithm was measured against different classifier algorithms on the same database. The evaluation results of the algorithm proposed have achieved better accuracy with sensitivity and F measure comparison with others and by enhancing this concept we can provide a future scope to produce sophisticated learning models for diagnosis.

To predict the stock prices, authors have proposed a technique by first calculating the sentiment scores through Naïve Bayes classifier and after that neural network is applied on both sentiment scores and historical stock dataset. They have also addressed the issue of data cleaning using a Hive ecosystem. This ecosystem is being used for pre-processing part and a neural network model with inputs from sentiment analysis and historic data is used to predict the prices. It has been observed from the experiments that the accuracy level reaches above 90% in maximum cases, as well as it also provides the solid base that model will be more accurate if it trained with recent data. The intended combination of sentiment analysis and Neural networks is used to establish a statistical relationship between historic numerical data records of a particular stock and other sentimental factors which can affects the stock prices.

The forecasting of speed of wind is called as the wind speed forecasting/prediction. It is basically done to achieve the better sustainability for power generation and production. The availability of wind energy in ample amount makes it quite
comfortable to be utilized for various functionalities. In this research work the main aim is to forecast speed using LSTM including certain parameters and then comparative analysis is done using SVM. Both are machine learning approaches but have different functionalities in comparison to each other. This comparison is done to obtain the better technique which can be further applied on larger datasets to design a better, accurate, efficient forecasting model for speed of wind. The survey and implementation of both the techniques gave a clear idea about the utilisation of long short term memory for the better and enhanced wind speed forecasting. The forecasting is based on various atmospheric variables, and the data set is
taken from the kaggle datsets which have numerous attributes but we have considered few of them only for the prediction purpose.
