The concept of a hierarchy of performance models is introduced. It is argued that such a hierarchy should consist of models spanning a wide range of accuracy and cost in order to be a cost-effective tool in the design of computer systems. Judicious use of the hierarchy can satisfy the conflicting needs of high accuracy and low cost of performance evaluation. A system design procedure that uses the hierarchy is developed. The concepts developed are illustrated by applying them to a case study of system design. The results of optimizations conducted using a two-level performance model hierarchy and a simple cost model are discussed. In almost all the experiments conducted, the optimization procedure converged to a region very close to a locally optimum system. The efficiency of the procedure is shown to be considerably greater than that of the brute force approach to system design. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper proposes an air quality prediction system based on the neuro-fuzzy network approach. Historical time series data are employed to derive a set of fuzzy rules, or equivalently a neuro-fuzzy network, for forecasting air pollutant concentrations and environmental factors in the future. Due to the uncertainty of the involved impact factors, fuzzy elements are added to the forecasting system. First of all, training data are partitioned into fuzzy clusters whose membership functions are characterized by the estimated means and variances. From these fuzzy clusters, fuzzy rules are extracted and a four-layer fuzzy neural network is constructed. Then genetic, particle swarm optimization, and steepest descent backpropagation algorithms are applied to train the network. The network outputs, derived through the fuzzy inference process, produce the forecast air pollutant concentrations or air quality indices. Our proposed approach has the following advantages: (1) Adding fuzzy elements can more appropriately deal with the uncertainty of the impact factors involved;(2) The distribution of training data can be described properly by fuzzy clusters with statistical means and variances;(3) Fuzzy rules are extracted automatically from the training data, instead of being supplied manually by human experts;(4) The obtained fuzzy rules are of high quality, and their parameters can be optimized effectively.

We develop hierarchical generalized linear models and computationally efficient algorithms for genomewide analysis of quantitative trait loci (QTL) for various types of phenotypes ill experimental crosses. The proposed models can fit it large number of effects, including covariates, main effects of numerous loci, and gene-gene (epistasis) and gene-environment. (G X E) interactions. The key to the approach is the use of continuous prior distribution oil coefficients that favors sparseness ill the filled model and facilitates computation. We develop it fast expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm to fit models by estimating posterior modes of coefficients. We incorporate our algorithm into the iteratively weighted least squares For classical generalized linear models as implemented ill the package R. We propose a model search strategy, to build a parsimonious model. Our method takes advantage of the special correlation structure in QTL (lata. Simulation studies demonstrate reasonable power to detect true effects, while controlling the rate of false positives. We illustrate with three real data sets and compare our method to existing methods for multilple-QTL. mapping. Our method has been implemented in our freely available package R/qtlbim (***), providing a valuable addition to our previous Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) approach.

The performance of optimization algorithms, and consequently of AI/machine learning solutions, is strongly influenced by the setting of their hyperparameters. Over the last decades, a rich literature has developed proposing methods to automatically determine the parameter setting for a problem of interest, aiming at either robust or instance-specific settings. Robust setting optimization is already a mature area of research, while instance-level setting is still in its infancy, with contributions mainly dealing with algorithm selection. The work reported in this paper belongs to the latter category, exploiting the learning and generalization capabilities of artificial neural networks to adapt a general setting generated by state-of-the-art automatic configurators. Our approach differs significantly from analogous ones in the literature, both because we rely on neural systems to suggest the settings, and because we propose a novel learning scheme in which different outputs are proposed for each input, in order to support generalization from examples. The approach was validated on two different algorithms that optimized instances of two different problems. We used an algorithm that is very sensitive to parameter settings, applied to generalized assignment problem instances, and a robust tabu search that is purportedly little sensitive to its settings, applied to quadratic assignment problem instances. The computational results in both cases attest to the effectiveness of the approach, especially when applied to instances that are structurally very different from those previously encountered.

During the construction of shield tunnels, the tunnel lining often has the problem of local or overall upward movement in soft soil areas. Excessive upward movement will lead to lining dislocation, cracks, damage, and even axis deviation. This paper elaborates on how to predict the process of tunnel lining upward movement using machine learning algorithms and field monitoring data systematically. First, fourteen input variables including shield operational parameters, tunnel geometry, geological conditions and anomalous condition are considered to predict the upward displacement of twelve output variables that represent the process of the upward move-ment of the tunnel lining. In addition, 80% field monitoring data (81 datasets) are selected randomly as the training set, and the remaining 20% (20 datasets) are the test set. Then, the average of 5-fold cross validation mean absolute error is regarded as the fitness function of optimization algorithms to find the optimal hyper-parameters. Finally, the prediction performance of four machine learning (ML) algorithms back-propagation neural network (BPNN), general regression neural network (GRNN), extreme learning machine (ELM), and support vector machine (SVM) optimized by particle swarm optimization (PSO) and genetic algorithm (GA) were compared. All ML algorithms except BPNN predicted successfully the trend of upward movement of tunnel lining. In particular, PSO-GRNN accurately captures the evolution of upward displacement in different periods of each ring with the lowest errors and the largest correlation coefficient values.

The field of automated lung cancer diagnosis using Computed Tomography (CT) scans has been significantly advanced by the precise predictions offered by Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based classifiers. Critical areas of study include improving image quality, optimizing learning algorithms, and enhancing diagnostic accuracy. To facilitate a seamless transition from research laboratories to real-world applications, it is crucial to improve the technology's usability-a factor often neglected in current state-of-the-art research. Yet, current state-of-the-art research in this field frequently overlooks the need for expediting this process. This paper introduces Healthcare-As-A-Service (HAAS), an innovative concept inspired by Software-As-A -Service (SAAS) within the cloud computing paradigm. As a comprehensive lung cancer diagnosis service system, HAAS has the potential to reduce lung cancer mortality rates by providing early diagnosis opportunities to everyone. We present HAASNet, a cloud-compatible CNN that boasts an accuracy rate of 96.07%. By integrating HAASNet predictions with physio-symptomatic data from the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), the proposed HAAS model generates accurate and reliable lung cancer diagnosis reports. Leveraging IoMT and cloud technology, the proposed service is globally accessible via the Internet, transcending geographic boundaries. This groundbreaking lung cancer diagnosis service achieves average precision, recall, and F1-scores of 96.47%, 95.39%, and 94.81%, respectively.
