Preterm deliveries are an important cause of mortality and morbidity in newborns. Accurate and early prediction of a premature delivery can prove helpful in providing proper medication and treatment. Recording of electrical activity known as Electrohysterogram (EHG) from the abdominal surface of pregnant women corresponds to the uterus contractions. A new direction is open using EHG signals for the diagnosis of preterm births. In this research, we present a new method for the accurate classification of preterm and term EHG signals. The proposed method first filters a three-channel EHG signal using bandpass filters. Next, we combined the filtered three-channel EHG into one signal using an accumulation operation. The accumulated EHG signal was post-processed through variational mode decomposition (VMD). VMD algorithm splits the input signal into finite modes using center frequencies known as intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). An energy-based intelligent signal reconstruction approach is designed to combine IMFs having an energy level above the computed threshold. Next, the reconstructed EHG signals were split into continuous windows, and time, frequency, and Hjorth features were extracted. These features were fused to construct a distinct feature representation and were reduced using the ReliefF algorithm. We trained an artificial neural network (ANN) to obtain 98.8 % average accuracy using 10-fold cross-validation.

Based on the synthesis of complex analysis methods, perturbation theory, and characteristics, a new approach has been developed for accounting for osmosis and temperature in predicting the migration processes of radionuclides under non-isothermal conditions in quasi-ideal porous media (in curved regions) bounded by streamlines and equipotential lines. The solution to the corresponding degenerate problem was obtained based on the developed method of nonlinear inversion of boundary value problem solutions into quasi-conformal mappings. An algorithm for calculating a uniformly dynamic grid, streamlines, and speed of ideal filtration field was constructed. With the developed method of characteristics, formulas for the approximate solution of diffusion-convection mass transfer problems in perturbed osmosis and heat filtration fields were obtained.

The pervasive issue of online sexism continues to pose significant challenges, fostering environments characterized by toxicity and perpetuating harmful societal norms. In response, this paper presents an approach for the discovery of sexist statements employing convolutional neural networks (CNNs), Word Embeddings, and data augmentation techniques. Through the fusion of CNNs’ capacity for hierarchical feature extraction with the semantic representations afforded by Word Embeddings, our method achieves exemplary discrimination performance. Additionally, the incorporation of data augmentation enriches the training dataset, thereby augmenting model generalization and resilience. Empirical evaluation on a larger dataset of statements demonstrates the efficacy of our approach, surpassing many baseline approaches in terms of discovery accuracy, precision, recall and F1-score.

With the rapid development of big data and artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles (AV) have achieved great success in diverse application domains. Although the current development of autonomous driving technology has been greatly improved, the accident rate of driverless vehicles still rises. Therefore, how to ensure the quality of AVs using different testing technologies has become an important issue. Traditional testing approaches such as decision tables and state charts struggle with diversified test inputs. Hence, there is a strong demand for new test models for AV testing. In this paper, we present a model-based testing framework that utilizes semantic trees and 3-dimensional (3D) test tables to model driving scenarios into individual test cases. Using the proposed framework, we generate fine-grained examples corresponding to the real world. Also, we evaluate the behavior of the Apollo AV system in 30 scenarios in SVL simulator. The results show that the scenarios generated by our framework can cover most conditions occurring, thus addressing the challenge of testing AVs for safety and reliability.

In the contemporary landscape of atmospheric sciences, the ability to recognize specific weather phenomena accurately and efficiently has become paramount, largely due to the exponential growth in sensor-generated data. This paper undertakes an in-depth analysis of advanced algorithms, namely YOLOV8, ResNet50, and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), for the purpose of weather pattern identification and classification. Building on the foundation of deep learning, the YOLOV8's real-time object detection capabilities are leveraged to discern intricate weather patterns in diverse datasets, from meteorological stations to satellite imagery. On the other hand, Resnet 50 which is another CNN based model was also tested along with CNN for comparison. An exhaustive evaluation of these algorithms covers various metrics, including accuracy, precision, computational efficiency, and real-world applicability. Special emphasis is placed on the crucial stages of data preprocessing, feature extraction, and model tuning, highlighting their impact on the algorithms' overall performance. Our findings suggest that, when appropriately optimized, both YOLOV8 and CNN exhibit exceptional capabilities in discerning and classifying intricate weather patterns, whereas ResNet50 exhibits comparatively less performance.

Random convolution kernel transform (Rocket) is a fast, efficient, and novel approach for time series feature extraction using a large number of independent randomly initialized 1-D convolution kernels of different configurations. The output of the convolution operation on each time series is represented by a partial positive value (PPV). A concatenation of PPVs from all kernels is the input feature vector to a Ridge regression classifier. Unlike typical deep learning models, the kernels are not trained and there is no weighted/trainable connection between kernels or concatenated features and the classifier. Since these kernels are generated randomly, a portion of these kernels may not positively contribute in performance of the model. Hence, selection of the most important kernels and pruning the redundant and less important ones is necessary to reduce computational complexity and accelerate inference of Rocket for applications on the edge devices. Selection of these kernels is a combinatorial optimization problem. In this paper, we propose a scheme for selecting these kernels while maintaining the classification performance. First, the original model is pre-trained at full capacity. Then, a population of binary candidate state vectors is initialized where each element of a vector represents the active/inactive status of a kernel. A population-based optimization algorithm evolves the population in order to find a best state vector which minimizes the number of active kernels while maximizing the accuracy of the classifier. This activation function is a linear combination of the total number of active kernels and the classification accuracy of the pre-trained classifier with the active kernels. Finally, the selected kernels in the best state vector are utilized to train the Ridge regression classifier with the selected kernels. This approach is evaluated on the standard time series datasets and the results show that on average it can achieve a similar performance to
