• Segmentation and Classification of Brain Tumour with Optimisation Enabled Deep Learning Using MRI Images  
  by Sajeev Ram Arumugam, Sakthi Ulaganathan, Rajeshkannan Regunathan, Vimala S. 
  Abstract: The detection of brain tumour at final stage is difficult to heal and the diagnosis of brain tumour from large image database is difficult. Due to the various sizes, shapes, and locations of tumours in the brain, the present techniques are insufficient to give precise classification. Hence, an effective model for classifying and segmenting brain tumours is developed in this study using the circle inspired teaching learning optimisation method (CITLO). During the first step, an input MRI image from a dataset is obtained, and the obtained image is supplied into the pre-processing module. Following that, SegNet, which is trained using CITLO, is employed for tumour segmentation. The brain tumour classification process employs deep convolutional neural network (DCNN), with classifier hyper parameters learned using CITLO. The CITLO_DCNN attained a maximum accuracy of 95.8%, a sensitivity of 96.9%, a specificity of 96.6%, a maximum segmentation accuracy of 95.7%, and ROC of 93.1%.

• Multi-Objective Jaya War Strategy Optimisation Enabled Cloud Storage in Blockchain Network for Internet of Medical Things Applications  
  by Kavita Shelke, Subhash Shinde 
  Abstract: The internet of medical things (IoMT) includes accessibility and is adequate for medical areas. Diverse techniques are developed based on cloud storage for IoMT applications, but these methods failed to obtain sufficient security in less time. In this research, a Jaya war strategy optimisation (Jaya WSO)-based cloud storage in a blockchain network is introduced for IoMT. Firstly, transactions are generated in IoMT and fed to the base station (BS). Then, it is passed to peers in the blockchain and the ledger is stored in respective peers. For each peer, blocks are selected optimally by Jaya WSO, which is an integration of the Jaya algorithm with war strategy optimisation (WSO) and the multi-objectives. The Jaya WSO attained minimal query probability, storage cost and local space occupancy of 0.428, 20.766 and 52.7 respectively and maximal values of trust level and sensitivity level of 0.849 and 0.916 respectively for block size = 2.

• Attention Mechanism-Based Facial Age Estimation  
  by Zhang Huiying, Lin Jiayan, Sheng WenShun, Dong Jiangwei, Zhang Yu, Geng Xin, Deyin Zhang, Jin Xin 
  Abstract: With the development of the deep learning (DL) technique, especially Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) for personal aging patterns, the accuracy of facial age estimation has been significantly improved. However, in traditional DL framework, the interdependence between individual facial images has not been fully exploited. To improve the estimation accuracy further, we propose an attention mechanism-based face aging estimation (AM-FAE) to characterize such meaningful interdependence. The proposed AM-FAE is able to select the most relevant parts of the input and assigns different weights to different contextual face information, thereby can achieve high value of information. Compared to state-of-the-art facial age estimation methods, AM-FAE improves the accuracy of age estimation on two public datasets.

• ST Bilateral-Deep filter: Shearlet Transform based Bilateral Filter and deep Learning Approach for Noise Reduction in CT Images  
  by Rashmita Sehgal, Vandana Dixit Kaushik 
  Abstract: This paper develops a ST-BF+Taylor-ACVO for effective denoising. The results from ST and deep learning are combined using the fusion-based quality measure to compute the restored image. Input noisy image is passed to CNN, where noise pixels are identified and the pixel restoration is done by proposed Taylor-ACVO. To produce a denoised image, the pixel enhancement is done using the vectorial total variation norm. On the other hand, input noisy image is applied to ST and the resulted image is fed to bilateral filter to generate noise free image, which is applied to Inverse Shearlet transform to reconstruct back the original image. Finally, the image obtained from VTV norm and IST is fused by the quality metrics to compute restored image. The proposed method obtained higher efficiency in terms of PSNR, SDME, and SSIM with values of 27.85 dB, 40.27 dB, and 0.87 using Gaussian noise.

• Research on Bi-Objective Charge Batch Planning Optimisation Method based on Improved -Constraint Framework  
  by Congxin Li, Liangliang Sun 
  Abstract: Charge batch planning (CHBP) is the basis of steelmaking-continuous casting section batch planning (SCCSBP). With the rapid development of the market-oriented demand of steel enterprises in the direction of multi-species, small batch, and just-in-time delivery, the integrated production process of SCCSBP dramatically increases the functional requirements of flexibility, material yield, and time-dynamic balancing of the CHBP. Therefore, the preparation of a high-quality CHBP is of great significance to improve the efficiency of steelmaking production and reduce material and energy consumption. A bi-objective mathematical model is established, and a cooperative optimisation framework combining an improved -constraint method (IECM) with branch-and-cut (B&C) is developed. Employing a bisection method-based heuristic, can rapidly detect the valid number of sub-problems, thus avoiding the computational burden of redundant sub-problems in traditional -constraint method (ECM). Meanwhile, this method can obtain multiple Pareto non-dominated solutions, providing more schemes for synergistic optimisation at each stage. The B&C can acquire high-quality solutions for sub-problems. Finally, simulation experiments with actual production data validate that the proposed method reduces the objective function values by 7.19%, 7.22% and 0.16% compared to the linear weighting method, traditional ECM and multi-objective optimisation method, respectively; and reduces the CPU time by 46%, 80.7% and 73.64%, respectively.

  by S.P. Selvaraj, R. Thiyagarajan, Mohanraj Kalidass 
  Abstract: In order to keep the process level at the specified operational parameters and attain peak performance, the Fractional Order Proportional-Resonant (FOPR) Controller was proposed for a spherical tank. All of the parameters in the operating circumstances are tuned by the proposed controller. The FOPR approach is less reactive and is used to manage liquid levels. It is implemented in real time, has cost effective, and has good time domain features. The FOPR controller's servo responses for various operating regions are recorded. The findings are contrasted to methods: glow swarm optimisation based proportional integral (GSO-PI) controllers, Bacterial Foraging Optimisation, and Particle Swarm Optimization. Compared to existing approaches, the proposed FOPR controller can give little overshoot, minimal settling time, faster rise time, and minimal integral standard error (ISE) and integral absolute error (IAE) values. It also produces a highly stable output over the tank's full span at various operating positions.

• Efficient VM Selection from Over-utilised PMs: a Grasshopper-Based Approach for Cloud Resource Optimisation  
  by Jaspreet Singh, Navpreet Kaur Walia 
  Abstract: Efficient resource allocation is critical for optimising performance and controlling operational costs in cloud computing environments. In this proposed work, a comprehensive two-segment study is presented, in which the first segment relies on grasshopper based optimisation while the second segment relies on conditional-MBFD. The grasshopper algorithm effectively addresses the intricate challenge of selecting virtual machines (VMs) from overutilised physical machines (PMs) in dynamic cloud environments, thus reshaping resource allocation paradigms. The contributions outlined in this proposed work are rigorously examined through comprehensive comparative evaluations. These evaluations compare grasshopper based approach against well-established optimisation algorithms such as artificial bee colony (ABC), particle swarm optimisation (PSO), and firefly. Additionally, the proposed work strategies are validated against state-of-the-art algorithms. These meticulous comparisons highlight the resounding superiority of proposed strategies in minimising power consumption, reducing SLA violations, and optimising resource utilisation in cloud computing environments. Meanwhile, the conditional-MBFD algorithm astutely fine tunes resource allocation.

• Leveraging Similarity and Structural Correlation for Attention-Based Graph Embedding  
  by Jing-Hong Wang, Chang-Xin Li, Jia-Teng Yang 
  Abstract: Graph Attention Networks (GATs) are a prevalent method for graph embedding, utilising attention mechanisms to aggregate first-order neighbourhood node information. However, their inability to adequately consider high-order neighbourhood nodes and structural information poses limitations. To address this gap, we propose a novel joint attention graph embedding model integrating similar networks and structural correlation. By introducing the concept of structural correlation, our model comprehensively incorporates both node content features and joint node topological structure features when computing attention scores. Experimental results showcase the efficacy of our approach, yielding significant accuracy improvements of 2.70%, 3.94%, and 2.60% on the Cora, Citeseer, and Pubmed datasets, respectively, compared to traditional GATs. Our proposed method significantly enhances node embedding representation, underscoring its importance in improving performance in node classification tasks.

• A Ranking-Based Firefly Algorithm with Adaptive Parameter Control and Modified Attraction  
  by Zhaoxing Xu, Peng Liu, Qinqin Wu, Wangping Xiong 
  Abstract: In this paper, an improved firefly algorithm (FA) is proposed for numerical optimization. The new approach, termed RBFA, employs three strategies. First, each firefly is assigned a probability based on a ranking method. The probability determines whether a firefly moves to a new position. Then, a novel parameter method is designed to dynamically adjust the step size. Furthermore, a modified attraction strategy is used to strengthen the search efficiency. To verify the performance of RBFA, a set of famous benchmark problems are tested. Computational results demonstrate the proposed RBFA can obtain better performance than several other FA variants.

• DafVBM: Multimodal Deep Learning for Predicting Efficacy of Salvage Chemoradiotherapy  
  by Han Zhang, Xinwei Guo, Liang Gu, Zhenyu Lei, Masaaki Omura, Shangce Gao 
  Abstract: This study leverages multimodal deep learning to predict the efficacy of salvage chemoradiotherapy for aesophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The target patients are those with regional lymph node recurrence after curative resection. Predicting efficacy is challenging due to limited data and the reliance on manual feature selection. Integrating multimodal data and optimising its utilisation can significantly support treatment prediction. However, there is little research on fully integrating multimodal data. To address this, we conduct a retrospective study and design a multimodal architecture to process patient data, including images, text, and tabular features. The model employs attention mechanisms and Fourier transform paths for seamless feature fusion. Our comparative analysis shows significant performance improvements with multimodal data, achieving an average precision, recall, and F1-score of 91.96%, 91.18%, and 90.86%, with best scores of 97.20%, 97.10%, and 97.00%.

  by Ramesh Babu Putchanuthala, Gopisetty Naga Rama Devi, Prabha Murugesan, Muniyandy Elangovan, Radhika Rathanasalam, Ramasamy SenthamilSelvan 
  Abstract: Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks are growing threat to network security, and existing methods attains higher false positive and false negatives when classifying attack and legitimate data, resulting in reduced accuracy. To overcome this, optimised dual temporal gated multi-graph convolution network based fennec fox optimisation for distributed denial of service attack detection in cloud computing (DTGMGCN-DoS-ADD-CC) is proposed. Initially, data adaptive Gaussian average filtering (DAGAF) pre-processes the CICIDS2017 dataset to correct mismatched values. Then swarm optimisation algorithm (DSOA) selects the transformed features, its used by multiple-graph convolution network with dual temporal gates (DTGMGCN) for precise detection of normal and attacked packet of information (API). The Fennec fox optimisation (FFO) fine-tunes DTGMGCNs weight parameters, further boosting performance. Experimental results show that DTGMGCN-DoS-ADD-CC achieves 99.37% accuracy, 98.9% sensitivity, and 98.95% specificity, outperforming existing methods. The improvement highlights robustness and efficacy of the DTGMGCN-DoS-ADD-CC approach for DDoS attack detection in cloud computing.

  Abstract: The advantage of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) anywhere at any time makes it one of the popular technologies. The most prominent issues faced by the WSN are energy availability and reliability. The energy prediction among the nodes acts as a significant factor to achieve reliability. Hence, this research proposes a mechanism for optimal path selection of MS nodes using a proposed approach named the Henry Gas Particle Swarm Optimization (HGPSO) algorithm. Here, the hybrid Harris Hawk Salp Swarm optimization (HHSSO) model along with the MS policy is employed for performing the CH selection effectively and is referred as EE-hHHSS. The Deep Residual Network (DRN) is exploited to predict energy. The proposed HGPSO-based DRN has achieved a maximum Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) of 42.121%, maximum residual energy of 0.083J, minimum delay of 0.0000027089sec, minimum path distance of 13.357, and maximum number of alive nodes is 48 while analysing 50 nodes.

• Contrastive Hypergraph Attention Reinforcement Learning for Asset Portfolio Management in Digital Auditing  
  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 Muthumarilakshmi S, Hemanand D, Manikandan S 
  Abstract: Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) enable decentralized communication in environments without traditional infrastructure, such as disaster zones and military settings. However, they face challenges like high latency and energy inefficiency in route selection, affecting overall network performance. To address this, an Optimized Route Selection for Multipath Routing in MANET using Latent Encoder Coupled Generative Adversarial Network (LECGAN-RS-MR-MANET) is proposed. Initially, the Tyrannosaurus Optimization Algorithm (TOA) is employed for efficient route exploration, followed by LECGAN for optimal node selection through latent feature learning. The Improved Sooty Tern Optimisation Algorithm (ISTOA) ensures effective route maintenance, while the Multitask Multi-attention Residual Shrinkage Convolutional Neural Network (MMRSCNN) handles route recovery. The proposed LECGAN-RS-MR-MANET is evaluated and demonstrates 23.92% lower energy consumption, 24.92% lower end-to-end delay, and 22.42% lower routing overhead compared to existing techniques. These findings confirm that the proposed model significantly improves routing performance and reliability in MANETs.

  Abstract: In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has gained attention for its transformative role in agriculture. A main challenge in agriculture is early identification of plant disease which is needed to prevent crop loss and ensure food preservative. Typical plant disease detection techniques are often time-consuming and labor-intensive, making it important to replace them with automated systems.

• Efficient Data Retrieval Model based on Semantic Similarity Analysis using Chiroptera Buzzard Optimisation Tuned Deep CNN  
  by Ankush Raosaheb Deshmukh, Premchand B. Ambhore 
  Abstract: To extract meaningful insights, integrating the data classification and semantic text summarization is essential, aiding in the identification of contextually significant content. Most of the existing techniques encounter multiple challenges from the perspective of machine understanding, especially for languages with limited resources, and fail to learn the sequence of correlations effectively. Nevertheless, there is still much space for enhancing the speed of data retrieved because current approaches fail to take the spatial and semantic aspects into account. To tackle this issue, this research presents an efficient data retrieval model utilising Chiroptera Buzzard optimization adapted deep Convolutional Neural Network (CBO adapted deep CNN) for semantic similarity analysis. Specifically, the Chiroptera buzzard optimisation is utilised for feature selection and fine-tuning the hyperparameters of DCNN that improves the classification accuracy. Hence, the proposed model reduces the computational complexity and provides remarkable performance in terms of metrics attaining 99.98% accuracy, 99.53% recall, 99.93% precision, 99.84%Fbeta, 99.52%Cohen kappa, and 99.52% F1-score for 90% of training.

• Student Performance Prediction (SPP)Model using HLRO-DMN  
  by L. Srinivasan, D. Kalaivani, C. Nalini, I. Gugan 
  Abstract: This research introduced the proposed hybrid leader remora optimisation algorithm with deep maxout network (HLRO_DMN) for accurately predicting the students performance. Initially, the input data acquired from the dataset is transformed into a suitable format using Yeo-Johnsons transformation. Then, the dice coefficient is employed for selecting optimal features, which combines the feature score obtained from the Fisher score and the Tversky index. In addition, the data augmentation is completed by the bootstrapping method, and the performance prediction is carried out by the DMN, wherein the weight of the DMN is tuned by the HLRO algorithm. Besides, the experimentation of HLRO_DMN attained the best result using certain metrics, like mean square error (MSE), Root mean square error (RMSE), and mean absolute error (MAE), and the accuracy of the corresponding values noted by the devised scheme are 5.4032, 0.175, 0.4444, and 91.314, respectively.

• Nash Game-Based Optimisation Strategy for Power-Heat-Cooling Interactive Shared Operation of Multiple Microgrids  
  by Hongbin Sun, Jianfeng Jia, Jingya Wen, Lei Kou 
  Abstract: The sharing of energy interactions within a multi-microgrid system can enhance the stability and reliability of system operations. This paper proposes an optimisation strategy for electricity-heat-cooling interaction sharing in multi-microgrids based on the Nash game. A cooperative microgrid model integrating electricity-heat-cooling systems is constructed, incorporating a combined heat and power (CHP) unit with carbon capture and an electricity-to-gas device. Subsequently, a multi-microgrid electricity-heat-cooling interaction sharing model is developed. This model is decomposed into two sub-problems: maximising the benefits of the microgrid alliance and redistributing cooperative benefits. The alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is employed to solve these problems, effectively protecting the privacy of the microgrid entities. For the redistribution of cooperative benefits, an asymmetric mapping function is utilised to calculate each microgrids contribution, and the benefits are equitably redistributed based on these contributions. Finally, simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method, demonstrating that the multi-microgrid electric-heat-cold interaction sharing strategy maximises the alliances benefits and equitably allocates them according to the contribution of each microgrid.
  Keywords: nash game; electricity-to-gas conversion; carbon capture; electricity-heat-cooling interaction; alternating direction multiplier method.
  
  
• Rupture Risk Prediction of Intracranial Aneurysm by using Gene Expression Data Mining and Intelligent Optimisation Algorithm  
  by Yueling Xiong, Mingquan Ye, Peipei Wang, Qingqing Li 
  Abstract: Intracranial aneurysm (IA) rupture can precipitate severe subarachnoid haemorrhage. Despite the importance of uncovering key disease traits through high-throughput gene expression data, the application of machine learning to identify informative genes linked to IA rupture remains limited. Hence, we present a novel machine learning model, constructed on the intelligent optimization algorithms, to forecast IA rupture states and pinpoint efficacious informative genes. The model integrated Adaptive Boosting (AdaBoost) with Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) to eliminate redundant genes, followed by ReliefF for further optimisation. Subsequently, a small set of informative genes fully representing the IA rupture state was obtained and evaluated using various classification models. The experimental results showed the proposed algorithm Particle Swarm Optimization-Adaptive Boosting-ReliefF (PSO-AdaBoost-ReliefF) achieved significant improvements in all evaluation metrics. Additionally, Gene ontology (GO) and enrichment analysis were performed to reveal gene-IA association. The PSO-AdaBoost-ReliefF model can effectively mine informative genes, accurately evaluate the rupture state, while potentially identifying new target genes.
  Keywords: Intracranial aneurysm; informative gene selection; PSO-AdaBoost-ReliefF; rupture status; gene expression data mining.

• Enhanced Intracranial Aneurysm Segmentation via Fusion of MedLAM and 3D U-Net Architectures  
  by Aiping Wu, Mingquan Ye, Jiaqi Wang, Ye Shi, Yunfeng Zhou 
  Abstract: In response to the inadequate coupling between localisation accuracy and segmentation performance in existing deep learning-based intracranial aneurysm segmentation methods, this study proposes a collaborative segmentation framework utilising the MedLAM architecture and 3D U-Net. Current mainstream approaches typically employ end-to-end single-stage segmentation networks, such as V-Net and nnU-Net, which effectively extract local features. However, given the small volume (usually <5 mm) and highly heterogeneous morphology of intracranial aneurysms in 3D images, segmentation performance frequently diminishes due to the absence of spatial prior constraints. This study introduces an innovative dual mechanism of spatial localisation and feature enhancement through the MedLAM architecture. Firstly, the relative distance regression (RDR) module converts the traditional absolute coordinate-based localisation task into a regression problem of the relative distance field by establishing a voxel-level spatial mapping function, effectively addressing the coordinate offset issue caused by the bending morphology of blood vessels. Secondly, the multi-scale similarity (MSS) mechanism considerably enhances the recognisability of microaneurysms on low-resolution feature maps by dynamically aggregating the similarity responses of feature maps at different levels. Experimental results demonstrate that this method achieves a Dice coefficient of 0.73 on the 500 CTA dataset, marking a 7% improvement over the baseline 3D U-Net.
