Bayesian classifiers, a popular supervised learning method, rely on accurate probability density estimation for classifying continuous datasets. However, achieving precise density estimation with datasets containing outliers poses a significant challenge. This paper introduces a Bayesian classifier that utilizes optimized robust kernel density estimation to address this issue. Our proposed method enhances the accuracy of probability density distribution estimation by mitigating the impact of outliers on the training sample’s estimated distribution. Unlike the conventional kernel density estimator, our robust estimator can be seen as a weighted kernel mapping summary for each sample. This kernel mapping performs the inner product in the Hilbert space, allowing the kernel density estimation to be considered the average of the samples’ mapping in the Hilbert space using a reproducing kernel. M-estimation techniques are used to obtain accurate mean values and solve the weights. Meanwhile, complete cross-validation is used as the objective function to search for the optimal bandwidth, which impacts the estimator. The Harris Hawks Optimisation optimizes the objective function to improve the estimation accuracy. The experimental results show that it outperforms other optimization algorithms regarding convergence speed and objective function value during the bandwidth search. The optimal robust kernel density estimator achieves better fitness performance than the traditional kernel density estimator when the training data contains outliers. The Naïve Bayesian with optimal robust kernel density estimation improves the generalization in the classification with outliers.展开更多

Predators often reproduce at specific sites over many years causing permanent threats to local prey species. Such prey may respond by moving elsewhere thereby reducing local population abundance, or they may stay put and adjust their behavior to the presence of predators. We tested these predictions by analyzing population abundance and anti-predator behavior within 100 m of and 500 m away from nests of sparrowhawks Accipiter nisus and goshawks A. gentilis for 80 species of birds. Population abundance of prey was reduced by 11% near goshawk nests and by 15% near sparrowhawk nests when compared with nearby control sites in similar habitats. Flight initiation distance （FID） of prey, estimated as the distance at which birds took flight when approached by a human, increased by 50% in the presence of hawk nests, providing evidence of adjustment of anti-predator behavior to prevailing risks of predation. Susceptibility to predation was estimated as log transformed abundance of the observed number of prey items obtained from prey remains collected around nests minus log transformed expected number of prey according to point counts of breeding birds. FID increased from 10 to 46 m with increasing susceptibility of prey species to predation by the goshawk and from 12 to 15 m with increasing susceptibility of prey species to predation by the sparrowhawk. These findings suggest that prey adjust their distribution and anti-predator behavior to the risk of predation.展开更多

文摘Harris Hawks Optimization(HHO)is a novel meta-heuristic algorithm that imitates the predation characteristics of Harris Hawk and combines Lévy flight to solve complex multidimensional problems.Nevertheless,the basic HHO algorithm still has certain limitations,including the tendency to fall into the local optima and poor convergence accuracy.Coot Bird Optimization(CBO)is another new swarm-based optimization algorithm.CBO originates from the regular and irregular motion of a bird called Coot on the water’s surface.Although the framework of CBO is slightly complicated,it has outstanding exploration potential and excellent capability to avoid falling into local optimal solutions.This paper proposes a novel enhanced hybrid algorithm based on the basic HHO and CBO named Enhanced Harris Hawks Optimization Integrated with Coot Bird Optimization(EHHOCBO).EHHOCBO can provide higher-quality solutions for numerical optimization problems.It first embeds the leadership mechanism of CBO into the population initialization process of HHO.This way can take full advantage of the valuable solution information to provide a good foundation for the global search of the hybrid algorithm.Secondly,the Ensemble Mutation Strategy(EMS)is introduced to generate the mutant candidate positions for consideration,further improving the hybrid algorithm’s exploration trend and population diversity.To further reduce the likelihood of falling into the local optima and speed up the convergence,Refracted Opposition-Based Learning(ROBL)is adopted to update the current optimal solution in the swarm.Using 23 classical benchmark functions and the IEEE CEC2017 test suite,the performance of the proposed EHHOCBO is comprehensively evaluated and compared with eight other basic meta-heuristic algorithms and six improved variants.Experimental results show that EHHOCBO can achieve better solution accuracy,faster convergence speed,and a more robust ability to jump out of local optima than other advanced optimizers in most test cases.Finally,EHHOCBOis applied
文摘Human-Computer Interaction(HCI)is a sub-area within computer science focused on the study of the communication between people(users)and computers and the evaluation,implementation,and design of user interfaces for computer systems.HCI has accomplished effective incorporation of the human factors and software engineering of computing systems through the methods and concepts of cognitive science.Usability is an aspect of HCI dedicated to guar-anteeing that human–computer communication is,amongst other things,efficient,effective,and sustaining for the user.Simultaneously,Human activity recognition(HAR)aim is to identify actions from a sequence of observations on the activities of subjects and the environmental conditions.The vision-based HAR study is the basis of several applications involving health care,HCI,and video surveillance.This article develops a Fire Hawk Optimizer with Deep Learning Enabled Activ-ity Recognition(FHODL-AR)on HCI driven usability.In the presented FHODL-AR technique,the input images are investigated for the identification of different human activities.For feature extraction,a modified SqueezeNet model is intro-duced by the inclusion of few bypass connections to the SqueezeNet among Fire modules.Besides,the FHO algorithm is utilized as a hyperparameter optimization algorithm,which in turn boosts the classification performance.To detect and cate-gorize different kinds of activities,probabilistic neural network(PNN)classifier is applied.The experimental validation of the FHODL-AR technique is tested using benchmark datasets,and the outcomes reported the improvements of the FHODL-AR technique over other recent approaches.

文摘Due to their adaptability,Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAVs)play an essential role in the Internet of Things(IoT).Using wireless power transfer(WPT)techniques,an UAV can be supplied with energy while in flight,thereby extending the lifetime of this energy-constrained device.This paper investigates the optimization of resource allocation in light of the fact that power transfer and data transmission cannot be performed simultaneously.In this paper,we propose an optimization strategy for the resource allocation of UAVs in sensor communication networks.It is a practical solution to the problem of marine sensor networks that are located far from shore and have limited power.A corresponding system model is summarized based on the scenario and existing theoretical works.The minimum throughputmaximizing object is then formulated as an optimization problem.As swarm intelligence algorithms are utilized effectively in numerous fields,this paper chose to solve the formed optimization problem using the Harris Hawks Optimization and Whale Optimization Algorithms.This paper introduces a method for translating multi-decisions into a row vector in order to adapt swarm intelligence algorithms to the problem,as joint time and energy optimization have two sets of variables.The proposed method performs well in terms of stability and duration.Finally,performance is evaluated through numerical experiments.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method performs admirably in the given scenario.

文摘Because of the low convergence accuracy of the basic Harris Hawks algorithm,which quickly falls into the local optimal,a Harris Hawks algorithm combining tuna swarm algorithm and differential mutation strategy(TDHHO)is proposed.The escape energy factor of nonlinear periodic energy decline balances the ability of global exploration and regional development.The parabolic foraging approach of the tuna swarm algorithm is introduced to enhance the global exploration ability of the algorithm and accelerate the convergence speed.The difference variation strategy is used to mutate the individual position and calculate the fitness,and the fitness of the original individual position is compared.The greedy technique is used to select the one with better fitness of the objective function,which increases the diversity of the population and improves the possibility of the algorithm jumping out of the local extreme value.The test function tests the TDHHO algorithm,and compared with other optimization algorithms,the experimental results show that the convergence speed and optimization accuracy of the improved Harris Hawks are improved.Finally,the enhanced Harris Hawks algorithm is applied to engineering optimization and wireless sensor networks(WSN)coverage optimization problems,and the feasibility of the TDHHO algorithm in practical application is further verified.
文摘The eminence of Economic Dispatch(ED)in power systems is signifi-cantly high as it involves in scheduling the available power from various power plants with less cost by compensating equality and inequality constrictions.The emission of toxic gases from power plants leads to environmental imbalance and so it is highly mandatory to rectify this issues for obtaining optimal perfor-mance in the power systems.In this present study,the Economic and Emission Dispatch(EED)problems are resolved as multi objective Economic Dispatch pro-blems by using Harris Hawk’s Optimization(HHO),which is capable enough to resolve the concerned issue in a wider range.In addition,the clustering approach is employed to maintain the size of the Pareto Optimal(PO)set during each itera-tion and fuzzy based approach is employed to extricate compromise solution from the Pareto front.To meet the equality constraint effectively,a new demand-based constraint handling mechanism is adopted.This paper also includes Wind energy conversion system(WECS)in EED problem.The conventional thermal generator cost is taken into account while considering the overall cost functions of wind energy like overestimated,underestimated and proportional costs.The quality of the non-dominated solution set is measured using quality metrics such as Set Spacing(SP)and Hyper-Volume(HV)and the solutions are compared with other conventional algorithms to prove its efficiency.The present study is validated with the outcomes of various literature papers.

文摘Precision agriculture includes the optimum and adequate use of resources depending on several variables that govern crop yield.Precision agriculture offers a novel solution utilizing a systematic technique for current agricultural problems like balancing production and environmental concerns.Weed control has become one of the significant problems in the agricultural sector.In traditional weed control,the entire field is treated uniformly by spraying the soil,a single herbicide dose,weed,and crops in the same way.For more precise farming,robots could accomplish targeted weed treatment if they could specifically find the location of the dispensable plant and identify the weed type.This may lessen by large margin utilization of agrochemicals on agricultural fields and favour sustainable agriculture.This study presents a Harris Hawks Optimizer with Graph Convolutional Network based Weed Detection(HHOGCN-WD)technique for Precision Agriculture.The HHOGCN-WD technique mainly focuses on identifying and classifying weeds for precision agriculture.For image pre-processing,the HHOGCN-WD model utilizes a bilateral normal filter(BNF)for noise removal.In addition,coupled convolutional neural network(CCNet)model is utilized to derive a set of feature vectors.To detect and classify weed,the GCN model is utilized with the HHO algorithm as a hyperparameter optimizer to improve the detection performance.The experimental results of the HHOGCN-WD technique are investigated under the benchmark dataset.The results indicate the promising performance of the presented HHOGCN-WD model over other recent approaches,with increased accuracy of 99.13%.
文摘Prey have evolved anti-predator defences that reduce or eliminate the risk of predation. Predators often reproduce at specific sites over many years causing permanent threats to local prey species. Such prey may respond by moving elsewhere thereby reducing local population abundance, or they may stay put and adjust their behavior to the presence of predators. We tested these predictions by analyzing population abundance and anti-predator behavior within 100 m of and 500 m away from nests of sparrowhawks Accipiter nisus and goshawks A. gentilis for 80 species of birds. Population abundance of prey was reduced by 11% near goshawk nests and by 15% near sparrowhawk nests when compared with nearby control sites in similar habitats. Flight initiation distance （FID） of prey, estimated as the distance at which birds took flight when approached by a human, increased by 50% in the presence of hawk nests, providing evidence of adjustment of anti-predator behavior to prevailing risks of predation. Susceptibility to predation was estimated as log transformed abundance of the observed number of prey items obtained from prey remains collected around nests minus log transformed expected number of prey according to point counts of breeding birds. FID increased from 10 to 46 m with increasing susceptibility of prey species to predation by the goshawk and from 12 to 15 m with increasing susceptibility of prey species to predation by the sparrowhawk. These findings suggest that prey adjust their distribution and anti-predator behavior to the risk of predation.

文摘Generally,software testing is considered as a proficient technique to achieve improvement in quality and reliability of the software.But,the quality of test cases has a considerable influence on fault revealing capability of software testing activity.Test Case Prioritization(TCP)remains a challenging issue since prioritizing test cases is unsatisfactory in terms of Average Percentage of Faults Detected(APFD)and time spent upon execution results.TCP ismainly intended to design a collection of test cases that can accomplish early optimization using preferred characteristics.The studies conducted earlier focused on prioritizing the available test cases in accelerating fault detection rate during software testing.In this aspect,the current study designs aModified Harris Hawks Optimization based TCP(MHHO-TCP)technique for software testing.The aim of the proposed MHHO-TCP technique is to maximize APFD and minimize the overall execution time.In addition,MHHO algorithm is designed to boost the exploration and exploitation abilities of conventional HHO algorithm.In order to validate the enhanced efficiency of MHHO-TCP technique,a wide range of simulations was conducted on different benchmark programs and the results were examined under several aspects.The experimental outcomes highlight the improved efficiency of MHHO-TCP technique over recent approaches under different measures.

文摘Reestablishment in power system brings in significant transformation in the power sector by extinguishing the possession of sound consolidated assistance.However,the collaboration of various manufacturing agencies,autonomous power manufacturers,and buyers have created complex installation processes.The regular active load and inefficiency of best measures among varied associates is a huge hazard.Any sudden load deviation will give rise to immediate amendment in frequency and tie-line power errors.It is essential to deal with every zone’s frequency and tie-line power within permitted confines followed by fluctuations within the load.Therefore,it can be proficient by implementing Load Frequency Control under the Bilateral case,stabilizing the power and frequency distinction within the interrelated power grid.Balancing the net deviation in multiple areas is possible by minimizing the unbalance of Bilateral Contracts with the help of proportional integral and advanced controllers like Harris Hawks Optimizer.We proposed the advanced controller Harris Hawk optimizer-based model and validated it on a test bench.The experiment results show that the delay time is 0.0029 s and the settling time of 20.86 s only.This model can also be leveraged to examine the decision boundaries of the Bilateral case.
