A Monte Carlo simulation approach for effective assessment of flyrock based on intelligent system of neural network

One of the undesirable phenomena in the surface mines, which results in various hazards for human and facilities, is flyrock. It seems that the careful study of the subject and its effects on the environment can affect the control of flyrock hazards in the studied area. Therefore, the use of intelligent models and methods which are capable of predicting and simulating the risk of flyrock can be considered as an appropriate solution in this regard. The current research was conducted using nonlinear models and Monte Carlo (MC) simulation. The data used in this study consist of 260 samples of rock thrown from a mine in Malaysia. The parameters used in these models include hole’s diameter (D), hole’s depth (HD), burden to spacing (BS), stemming (ST), maximum charge per delay (MC), and powder factor (PF). At first, multiple regression analysis (MRA) and artificial neural network (ANN) models were used in order to develop a non-linear relationship between dependent and independent parameters. The ANN model was an appropriate predictor of flyrock in the mine. Then using the best implemented model of ANN, the flyrock environmental phenomenon was simulated using MC technique. MC simulation showed a proper level of accuracy of flyrock ranges in the mine. Using this simulation, it can be concluded with 90% accuracy that the Flyrock phenomenon does not exceed 331 m. Under these conditions, this simulation can be used for various areas requiring risk assessment. Finally, a sensitive analysis was carried out on data. This analysis showed MC has the greatest effect on flyrock.

A novel PSO algorithm based on an incremental-PID-controlled search strategy

Many variants of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm have been proposed in literature in the past two decades. The two research major topics, namely particle movement trajectory analysis and parameter selection, have also been intensively explored. Focused on the two issues, this paper transforms the velocity updating strategy in PSO algorithm to an incremental PID controller and thus develops a new incremental PID controlled search strategy. To endow this new PID-controlled deterministic search strategy with a stochastic nature, a mutation operation is applied on the particles and their exemplars. Based on such learning concepts, a novel incremental PID-controlled PSO, called IPID-PSO in short, algorithm is proposed. The proposed IPID-PSO algorithm is applied to eight benchmark problems of function optimization widely considered in literature. Compare with other two PSO variants, the IPID-PSO algorithm outperforms them on most of the eight functions. This superiority shows the usefulness of the proposed search strategy. Finally, the IPID-PSO is employed to estimate the parameters of the Jiles–Atherton (J–A) model, which is usually adopted to describe the hysteresis loop of magnetic materials. The results demonstrate that the proposed IPID-PSO is also effective for the J–A model parameter estimation. Therefore it can be concluded that the IPID-PSO algorithm provides a promising and satisfactory solution to real-world applications.     

A poly-hybrid PSO optimization method with intelligent parameter adjustment

This paper presents results on a new hybrid optimization method which combines the best features of four traditional optimization methods together with an intelligent adjustment algorithm to speed convergence on unconstrained and constrained optimization problems. It is believed that this is the first time that such a broad array of methods has been employed to facilitate synergistic enhancement of convergence. Particle swarm optimization is based on swarm intelligence inspired by the social behavior and movement dynamics of bird flocking, fish schooling, and swarming theory. This method has been applied for structural damage identification, neural network training, and reactive power optimization. It is also believed that this is the first time an intelligent parameter adjustment algorithm has been applied to maximize the effectiveness of individual component algorithms within the hybrid method. A comprehensive sensitivity analysis of the traditional optimization methods within the hybrid group is used to demonstrate how the relationship among the design variables in a given problem can be used to adjust algorithm parameters. The new method is benchmarked using 11 classical test functions and the results show that the new method outperforms eight of the most recently published search methodologies.

A novel approach to feature selection based on analysis of classregions

This paper presents a novel approach to feature selection based on analysis of class regions which are generated by a fuzzy classifier. A measure for feature evaluation is proposed and is defined as the exception ratio. The exception ratio represents the degree of overlaps in the class regions, in other words, the degree of having exceptions inside of fuzzy rules generated by the fuzzy classifier. It is shown that for a given set of features, a subset of features that has the lowest sum of the exception ratios has the tendency to contain the most relevant features, compared to the other subsets with the same number of features. An algorithm is then proposed that performs elimination of irrelevant features. Given a set of remaining features, the algorithm eliminates the next feature, the elimination of which minimizes the sum of the exception ratios. Next, a terminating criterion is given. Based on this criterion, the proposed algorithm terminates when a significant increase in the sum of the exception ratios occurs due to the next elimination. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm performs well in eliminating irrelevant features while constraining the increase in recognition error rates for unknown data of the classifiers in use.     

A novel case based reasoning approach to radiotherapy planning

Radiotherapy planning is a complex problem which requires both expertise and experience of an oncologist. A case based reasoning (CBR) system is developed to generate dose plans for prostate cancer patients. The proposed approach captures the expertise and experience of oncologists in treating previous patients and recommends a dose in phase I and phase II of the treatment of a new patient considering also the success rate of the treatment. The proposed CBR system employs a modified Dempster–Shafer theory to fuse dose plans suggested by the most similar cases retrieved from the case base. In order to mimic the continuous learning characteristic of oncologists, the weights corresponding to each feature used in the retrieval process are updated automatically each time after generating a treatment plan for a new patient. The efficiency of the proposed methodology has been validated using real data sets collected from the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS, City Hospital Campus, UK. Experiments demonstrated that for most of the patients, the dose plan generated by our approach is coherent with the dose plan suggested by an experienced oncologist. This methodology can assist both new and experienced oncologists in the treatment planning.     

A pattern based PSO approach for block matching in motion estimation

Block matching motion estimation is a popular method in developing video coding applications. A new algorithm has been proposed for reducing the number of search points using a pattern based particle swarm optimization (PSO) for motion estimation. The conventional particle swarm optimization has been modified to provide accurate solutions in motion estimation problems. This leads to very low computational cost and good estimation accuracy. Due to the center biased nature of the videos, the proposed approach uses an initial pattern to speed up the convergence of the algorithm. Simulation results show that improvements over other fast block matching motion estimation algorithms could be achieved with 31%～63% of search point reduction, without degradation of image quality.

A novel approach to fuzzy rough sets based on a fuzzy covering

This paper proposes an approach to fuzzy rough sets in the framework of lattice theory. The new model for fuzzy rough sets is based on the concepts of both fuzzy covering and binary fuzzy logical operators (fuzzy conjunction and fuzzy implication). The conjunction and implication are connected by using the complete lattice-based adjunction theory. With this theory, fuzzy rough approximation operators are generalized and fundamental properties of these operators are investigated. Particularly, comparative studies of the generalized fuzzy rough sets to the classical fuzzy rough sets and Pawlak rough set are carried out. It is shown that the generalized fuzzy rough sets are an extension of the classical fuzzy rough sets as well as a fuzzification of the Pawlak rough set within the framework of complete lattices. A link between the generalized fuzzy rough approximation operators and fundamental morphological operators is presented in a translation-invariant additive group.     

A novel intelligent approach for man-in-the-middle attacks detection over internet of things environments based on message queuing telemetry transport

One of the most common attacks is man-in-the-middle (MitM) which, due to its complex behaviour, is difficult to detect by traditional cyber-attack detection systems. MitM attacks on internet of things systems take advantage of special features of the protocols and cause system disruptions, making them invisible to legitimate elements. In this work, an intrusion detection system (IDS), where intelligent models can be deployed, is the approach to detect this type of attack considering network alterations. Therefore, this paper presents a novel method to develop the intelligent model used by the IDS, being this method based on a hybrid process. The first stage of the process implements a feature extraction method, while the second one applies different supervised classification techniques, both over a message queuing telemetry transport (MQTT) dataset compiled by authors in previous works. The contribution shows excellent performance for any compared classification methods. Likewise, the best results are obtained using the method with the highest computational cost. Thanks to this, a functional IDS will be able to prevent MQTT attacks.
