Glaucoma is currently one of the most significant causes of permanent blindness. Fundus imaging is the most popular glaucoma screening method because of the compromises it has to make in terms of portability, size, and cost. In recent years, convolution neural networks (CNNs) have revolutionized computer vision. Convolution is a "local" CNN technique that is only applicable to a small region surrounding an image. Vision Transformers (ViT) use self-attention, which is a "global" activity since it collects information from the entire image. As a result, the ViT can successfully gather distant semantic relevance from an image. This study examined several optimizers, including Adamax, SGD, RMSprop, Adadelta, Adafactor, Nadam, and Adagrad. With 1750 Healthy and Glaucoma images in the IEEE fundus image dataset and 4800 healthy and glaucoma images in the LAG fundus image dataset, we trained and tested the ViT model on these datasets. Additionally, the datasets underwent image scaling, auto-rotation, and auto-contrast adjustment via adaptive equalization during preprocessing. The results demonstrated that preparing the provided dataset with various optimizers improved accuracy and other performance metrics. Additionally, according to the results, the Nadam Optimizer improved accuracy in the adaptive equalized preprocessing of the IEEE dataset by up to 97.8% and in the adaptive equalized preprocessing of the LAG dataset by up to 92%, both of which were followed by auto rotation and image resizing processes. In addition to integrating our vision transformer model with the shift tokenization model, we also combined ViT with a hybrid model that consisted of six different models, including SVM, Gaussian NB, Bernoulli NB, Decision Tree, KNN, and Random Forest, based on which optimizer was the most successful for each dataset. Empirical results show that the SVM Model worked well and improved accuracy by up to 93% with precision of up to 94% in the adaptive equalization preprocess

In the field of machining, product quality must meet customer specifications. In general, surface roughness is an essential indicator of machining quality. Low surface roughness correlates with increased fatigue strength and corrosion resistance. However, the main factor that affects surface roughness is the selection of the machining parameters. When different parameters are combined, the resulting machining quality varies. Therefore, to achieve the desired machining quality, appropriate machining parameters must be selected. In this study, an ultrasonic-assisted machining system (UAMS) was designed to help users determine the machining parameters and machine SiC materials. To establish a prediction model for surface roughness, a novel network mapping fusion (NMF) convolutional neuro-fuzzy network (CNFN) model was used in the designed UAMS. The differential evolution algorithm was then used to search for optimized machining parameters. To explain the prediction model, which can help analyze the factors that have the greatest influence on surface roughness, a Shapley additive explanations method is proposed. The proposed NMF–CNFN model was more accurate than were the other deep learning models and exhibited a MAPE of 1.98%. When optimized machining parameters were selected, the desired surface roughness was obtained, thereby confirming the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed UAMS. Moreover, the proposed model was implemented in a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) to reduce its power consumption and increase its computational performance. Experimental results indicated that the computational speed of the FPGA was 99.64%and 99.16%higher than those of the CPU and GPU, respectively. IEEE

This study introduces a data-driven approach for state and output feedback control addressing the constrained output regulation problem in unknown linear discrete-time systems. Our method ensures effective tracking performance while satisfying the state and input constraints, even when system matrices are not available. We first establish a sufficient condition necessary for the existence of a solution pair to the regulator equation and propose a data-based approach to obtain the feedforward and feedback control gains for state feedback control using linear programming. Furthermore, we design a refined Luenberger observer to accurately estimate the system state, while keeping the estimation error within a predefined set. By combining output regulation theory, we develop an output feedback control strategy. The stability of the closed-loop system is rigorously proved to be asymptotically stable by further leveraging the concept of λ-contractive sets.
