  • Contrastive Hypergraph Attention Reinforcement Learning for Asset Portfolio Management in Digital Auditing   Order a copy of this article
    by Xuan Liu, Xu Cao, Xinying Fang, Nan Gao 
    Abstract: Asset portfolio management (APM) is a critical task within digital auditing, aimed at continuously reallocating funds across a set of assets with the aim of maximising investment returns or suppressing risks. Recent APM methods have learned a policy function to generate appropriate portfolios in a reinforcement learning framework and have achieved encouraging progress. However, these methods ignore the fact that assets in portfolios may be broadly interrelated and affected by each other, and the asset relationship information is highly valuable in improving APM. In this paper, we introduce group-wise relationship information as additional environmental cues to improve portfolio policy learning for APM. We propose a dual-channel hypergraph attention network to jointly capture the heterogeneous fund-holding and industry-belonging relationships via attention-based information aggregation among assets. In addition, we introduce contrastive learning to provide extra supervision signals for higher modelling capacity. Experimental results demonstrate that this method yields significantly greater benefits compared to state-of-the-art methods for APM.

    by Leyi Xiao, Yixuan Su, Xia Xie, Chaodong Fan 
    Abstract: AI's application in medical image analysis presents challenges in balancing solution diversity and convergence in high-dimensional datasets for accurate feature selection. To this end, we propose an improved multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (MOWOA-D) based on decomposition and Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) learning strategy. This algorithm integrates the WOA learning strategy into the original MOEA/D to optimize the search mechanism, ensuring accuracy and uniformity. Then we design a dynamic neighborhood reference strategy to select reference points based on the population's real-time state, guiding the generation of offspring and enhancing solution quality. We also use an adaptive binary mutation operator that introduce the Hamming distance and adjust mutation probability during iteration to balance exploration and exploitation. Experimental results indicate that MOWOA-D outperforms five multi-objective evolutionary algorithms in efficiency and uniformity. Feature selection experiments on the UCI database show improved classification accuracy and reduced data redundancy. Tests on pneumonia data demonstrate the method's practicability.

    by Pallavi Bhanudas Salunkhe, Pravin Sahebrao Patil 
    Abstract: Malaria is a widespread harmful disease caused by parasites transmitted through infected mosquitoes. The primary challenge addressed in this paper is the low performance, high error rates, and poor segmentation accuracy in malaria disease classification using existing machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques. To overcome these limitations, this study proposes an advanced malaria classification model using the optimal fire Hawks-based capsule convolutional vision transformer network (OFH_C2ViTNet). The input image was segmented using feature concatenation-based U-Net (FC-UNet) based on red blood cells, white blood cells, and malaria parasites. Finally, the suggested optimal fire Hawks-based capsule convolutional vision transformer network (OFH_C2ViTNet) was used to categorise malaria into difficult, trophozoite, gametocyte, ring, and schizont kinds. From the input images, the proposed model provides an efficient result for identifying the disease at an early stage. Experimental evaluation demonstrates that the proposed model achieves superior performance, with an accuracy of 97.42% and a precision of 98.68%, outperforming existing state-of-the-art methods in malaria detection.

  • A Multisensory Direction Cues Integration Model based on Continuous Attractor Neural Networks   Order a copy of this article
    by Jinhan Yan, Naigong Yu 
    Abstract: Accurate heading perception is essential for spatial navigation. The mammalian brain integrates self-motion cues from multiple sensory modalities in a Bayesian manner to achieve more reliable spatial localisation, providing important inspiration for robot navigation. This paper proposes a multisensory integration model based on continuous attractor neural networks (CANNs) to fuse directional cues from visual optical flow and vestibular system. Prior to integration, we perform a decoupling analysis of optical flow induced by self-motion and design a simple method to estimate visual angular velocity quickly. Separate CANNs are then constructed to perform angular path integration for both visual and vestibular inputs, followed by multisensory integration. Experiments on simulation and real-world datasets demonstrate that the proposed model achieves accurate and reliable direction estimation while maintaining low computational cost and strong noise resistance, outperforming several advanced methods. This work provides a brain-inspired solution for efficient and reliable navigation.

  • Global-Local Perception GAN For Text-to-Images Synthesis   Order a copy of this article
    by Li Jianghua, Zhang Shouxin 
    Abstract: Text-to-image synthesis is a challenging cross-modal task with significant applications in multimodal artificial intelligence. While generative adversarial networks (GANs) have advanced text-conditioned image generation, existing methods suffer from two critical limitations: 1) semantic inconsistency caused by modality information mismatch; 2) insufficient fine-grained details in synthesised images. In order to solve these problems, we propose global-local perception generative adversarial network (GLP-GAN) a single-stage framework featuring three innovative components: deep information matching module (DIMM) that aligns textual and visual semantics through cross-modal matching loss, dynamic refinement module (DRM) that progressively enhances image details via adaptive weight updating, and conditional instance-batch normalisation (CIBN) that stabilises training by learning semantic-visual correlation patterns. Experimental results demonstrate state-of-the-art performance on CUB and COCO datasets, achieving 10.8% FID reduction on CUB and 22.3% improvement on COCO compared to baseline model. The IS shows 3.3% gain on CUB and 6.1% enhancement on COCO, and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

  • A Novel MSAO-F-SVM Classifier based on Feature Transformation and Parameter Optimisation   Order a copy of this article
    by Qian Wang, Qinghua Gu, Yan Wang 
    Abstract: The generalisation error performance of the support vector machine algorithm is affected by the radius-to-interval ratio. At the same time, the selection of model parameters largely determines the classification performance. However, the existing optimisation algorithms seldom take these two aspects into account. This article proposed a new radius-margin-based SVM model with improved Aquila optimizer called MSAO-F-SVM, which considers the maximisation of margin and the minimisation of radius information. Firstly, the AO algorithm is integrated with Tent chaos mapping, differential evolution algorithm, and the introduction of the adaptive weighting factor to search the optimal global parameters effectively. Secondly, the enhanced AO method is utilised to choose the ideal values for maximum performance. Finally, the model is solved in three steps: matrix initialisation, parameter optimisation and transformation matrix solution. Experimental results showed that the proposed MSAO-F-SVM algorithm has better classification accuracy compared to other models and is valuable for solving classification problems.

    Abstract: Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters are crucial in biomedical signal processing, providing precise filtering to extract relevant information from noisy signals. However, designing and implementing FIR filters for real-time applications on Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) presents challenges in performance optimisation and execution time reduction. To address these challenges, design and implementation of a reconfigurable FIR filter optimized with a hybrid Adolescent Identity Search Algorithm and Group Teaching Algorithm (Hyb-AISA-GTA) on FPGA for biomedical applications called RFIR-Hyb-AISA-GTA is proposed.

    Abstract: Addressing the challenges faced by Siamese network-based object tracking algorithms, such as difficulties in effectively extracting salient features of the target due to the shallow architecture of AlexNet, and positional offsets caused by pooling downsampling. This paper first designs a saliency attention module inspired by the working principle of the biological visual system, and adds a saliency attention layer in the offline training process to improve the network's ability to learn significant features through adversarial learning. Then, a feature extraction network with Max Blur Pooling as the downsampling layer is constructed to reduce the aliasing effect during the downsampling process. Finally, the trained tracking network is tested and evaluated using the tracking benchmark dataset OTB100, and the saliency attention layer is not used in the online tracking test. The experimental results show that the comprehensive success rate and precision rate of the proposed ADB-SiamFC are 4% and 3% higher than those of the original SiamFC respectively, and the adaptability and robustness are significantly improved.

    Abstract: Satellite communication is critical in modern information transmission, necessitating efficient resource scheduling to maximise bandwidth utilisation and transmission speed. To address the challenges posed by increasing scheduling difficulty under varying task scales, we develop a mathematical model for satellite communication resource scheduling that incorporates task density effects, resource constraints, and multi-objective optimisation. Specifically, the objective function aims to maximise the total weighted priority gain of scheduled tasks and the number of successfully completed tasks, using a weighted sum formulation. Furthermore, we propose a novel reinforcement learning-assisted genetic algorithm (RLaGA). By integrating Q-learning into the genetic algorithm, RLaGA dynamically adjusts crossover and mutation operations, significantly improving solution quality and accelerating convergence. Experimental results conducted across multiple task scales to simulate increasing scheduling complexity demonstrate that our approach outperforms traditional heuristic algorithms, delivering superior performance in large scale, high density scheduling scenarios.

  • An explorative   Order a copy of this article
    by Qiong Wang, Jiahang Li 
    Abstract: Differential evolution (DE) is a powerful metaheuristic, yet it often struggles to balance exploration and exploitation, leading to premature convergence. To address this, this paper proposes CGODE, a novel DE variant combining a hybrid mutation operator with a modified opposition-based learning (OBL) strategy. The approach introduces three key contributions: a population diversity metric to assess search status, a mutation operator utilising Cauchy and Gaussian distributions to balance the search process, and an elite subpopulation OBL to accelerate convergence. CGODE was validated using 41 benchmark functions from the CEC 2017 and 2022 suites and two real-world problems. Results demonstrate that CGODE significantly outperforms existing DE variants, OBL methods, and state-of-the-art algorithms in over 65% of the tested functions, effectively solving the exploration-exploitation equilibrium problem.

    Abstract: Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal monitoring plays a critical role in the early detection and diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. However, efficient transmission and storage of ECG data remain challenging due to the large volume of signals generated. To address these challenges, this work presents an effective compression-detection-based reconstruction method. The incoming ECG signals are first represented as sparse signals and then compressed. To improve compression efficiency, an optimisation strategy is proposed using the improved intelligent satin bowerbird optimiser (I2SBO). The original signal is subsequently reconstructed on the medical server using the observation matrix and an enhanced step size optimised sparsity adaptive matching pursuit (ESSO_SAMP) algorithm. The proposed method is validated using the MIT-BIH atrial fibrillation (AF) database. The model achieves a MSE of 495.52, and a reconstruction probability of 0.944. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in enhancing ECG signal reconstruction while maintaining a high compression ratio.

In addition, the study employs a multi-view pose estimation method to collect and process data from key points of the human 3D skeleton. It also standardises and normalises their positional data through anthropometric scaling to improve the accuracy of motion posture analysis. The test results revealed that the improved model’s comparison accuracy is 7.3% higher than the standard Transformer, with notable advantages in self-occluded postures and fast transitional movements, boosting intelligent sports development.

  • Oversampling Classification of Multi-class Imbalanced Data based on Metaheuristic Algorithm   Order a copy of this article
    by Xin-ji Chen, Jing-Lun Zhu, Ze-yu Liu, Jian-wei Liu 
    Abstract: Classifying imbalanced data is one of the most critical tasks faced in modern data analysis. Particularly, when combined with other factors such as the presence of noise, class overlap issues, and ambiguities, data imbalance significantly impacts classification performance. Furthermore, with deeper investigations into the class imbalance problem, it’s found that multi-class imbalanced learning is more common in practice. Despite this, current research in the field of data imbalance largely focuses on binary classification problems, with relatively less study on the more challenging multiclass classification issues. In this paper, we introduce a novel oversampling technique the multi-class sine cosine evolutionary hybrid algorithm (MSCEHA). This method leverages the global search capability of meta-heuristic algorithms and the genetic characteristics of differential evolution algorithms to generate samples with diversity and robustness, and it is less affected by outliers compared to existing oversampling methods. Lastly, by introducing the triangular decomposition strategy for handling multi-class problems, MSCEHA is less affected by the loss of inter-class relationship information than traditional multi-class decomposition strategies. Experimental results on multi-class imbalanced benchmark datasets show that our method has higher robustness to noise and performs better compared to existing methods.

    Abstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder marked by memory loss and cognitive decline. Early detection is essential but challenging due to subtle initial symptoms and overlapping cognitive impairments. This research addresses these challenges by proposing eight deep learning models for identifying various stages of cognitive impairment and AD utilizing neuroimaging data from the Alzheimer's disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) dataset.

    by Arikrishnaperumal Ramaswamy Aravind, Prianka RR, Seenuvasamurthi S, Sahaana G 
    Abstract: In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), mobile sinks have drawn interest as a solution to sinkhole or hotspot problems. Nonetheless, the path design of the mobile sink has a major impact on the networks lifetime and coverage, which is essential for many WSN applications that require delay-sensitive data collecting. In order to increase network coverage and lifetime, this study proposes an energy-efficient mobile sink deployment technique for WSNs. This approach makes use of the LEACH technique for cluster head (CH) selection and energy-efficient clustering, and it improves coverage through an improved Voronoi-based node deployment. The mobile sink collects CH data, and the proposed artificial gazelle optimisation (ArGo) algorithm, which combines the artificial hummingbird algorithm (AHA) with gazelle optimisation (GOA) for faster convergence and acquisition of the global best solution, is used to determine the optimal placement of the sink. The simulation scenarios proposed approach is implemented in Python. According to simulation results, proposed approach outperforms conventional optimisation strategies by greatly increasing data collection efficiency, obtaining values of 0.9986 for residual energy, 99.9900 for packet delivery ratio and 89.2079 for network lifespan.

    Abstract: With the rapid expansion of higher education, structural contradictions in graduate employment have intensified, exposing limitations in traditional guidance models regarding personalization and data utilization. To address these issues, this study proposes a collaborative model integrating Light Gradient Boosting Machine(LightGBM) with a feature-optimized Rotating Forest(RF) framework.

  • DynSpike: a spiking neural network for effective long-term temporal dependency capture in dynamic graphs   Order a copy of this article
    by Zijing Yuan, Tianfang Lu, Masaaki Omura, Shangce Gao 
    Abstract: Dynamic graph learning is crucial for modelling systems with evolving node features and graph structures. Spiking neural networks offer low-power solutions but struggle with long-term dependencies and multi-scale dynamics. To address these, we propose DynSpike, a novel spiking neural network framework for dynamic graph processing. DynSpike introduces a spatio-temporal multi-scale fusion strategy, modelling local/global structures and short/long-term dependencies through parallel spatio-temporal branches. These branches are processed by the aggregation-spiking-attention module, combining neighbourhood aggregation, spike-driven encoding, and multi-head attention for fine-grained node representations. Experiments on benchmark datasets show DynSpike outperforms existing methods in node classification, effectively capturing multi-scale spatio-temporal patterns with high efficiency.

  • A liquid level approximation algorithm based on echo sound pressure model   Order a copy of this article
    by Bin Zhang, Shuqi Zang, Yuejuan Wei, Zong Yao, Qing Li, Yan Qiang 
    Abstract: This study achieves dual innovations in the field of non-contact liquid level detection, encompassing the generalisation of a physical model and the development of a targeted automated algorithm. First, systematic validation confirms the sound pressure calculation model established in prior research exhibits excellent universality. Experimental studies using containers made of four materials, namely aluminium alloy, stainless steel, glass, and plastic, demonstrate that the model delivers robust performance across different materials, while also revealing the influence of material properties on detection performance. Specifically, metallic containers exhibit superior measurement resolution due to lower acoustic energy loss, whereas plastic and glass materials show significantly reduced detection sensitivity owing to higher attenuation. Second, to address the limitation of existing threshold-based methods in accurately identifying key features under noisy or signal-attenuated conditions, an innovative automated approximation algorithm was developed. This intelligent algorithm, grounded in physical mechanisms, automatically determines liquid level height, and its output is designed for direct integration into industrial automation systems. Ultimately, this research provides a validated automated solution that offers effective technical support for liquid level detection in specialised application scenarios.

  • The SSJ method: identifying hostile individuals in multi-agent systems   Order a copy of this article
    by Fengying Yang, Huichao Liu, Zia Ur Rehman, Ahmad Din 
    Abstract: This study investigates the identification of hostile agents and their attack strategies in multi-agent systems (MASs), critical for enhancing security and reliability of distributed control. We propose a single-step jump algorithm (SSJ) that evaluates stepwise deviations between an agents current and historical opinions using predefined thresholds. This mechanism differentiates honest agents from hostile ones and recognises two adversarial strategies: the overt Berserk strategy and the deceptive Pretend strategy. Extensive experiments were conducted on a 50-agent MASs in more than ten thousand simulated scenarios, including pure Berserk, pure Pretend, and Mixed attacks. Performance was assessed using five metrics: accuracy, hostile detection rate, undetected rate, false-hostile rate, and strategy detection rate. Comparative analysis with the classical W-MSR algorithm shows that SSJ achieves superior accuracy, robustness, and stability across varying hostile ratios, which demonstrate that SSJ provides an effective and reliable approach to improving resilience and fault tolerance in adversarial MASs.

    by Wenxuan Huang, Yu Tang, Zhiping Tan, Huasheng Huang 
    Abstract: Traditional ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithms often exhibit slow convergence and are prone to being trapped in local optima when applied to the picking sequence planning problem.To address this problem, we propose a hybrid strategy ant colony algorithm (3SACO), based on the 3-Opt heuristic method and the symbiotic organisms search (SOS). First, the SOS is used to adjust three key parameters of the ACO algorithm adaptively. Second, the 3-Opt local search strategy is integrated into the algorithm to improve the convergence rate and obtain the optimal path. Third, different traveling salesman problem (TSP) instances in TSPLIB are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm. The experimental results prove that the proposed algorithm significantly outperforms other algorithms in terms of robustness and the quality of the optimal solution. In addition, the proposed 3SACO is employed to solve a real-world citrus picking sequence planning problem.
