A New Breast Cancer Discovery Strategy: A Combined Outlier Rejection Technique and an Ensemble Classification Method

Annually, many people worldwide lose their lives due to breast cancer, making it one of the most prevalent cancers in the world. Since the disease is becoming more common, early detection of breast cancer is essential to avoiding serious complications and possibly death as well. This research provides a novel Breast Cancer Discovery (BCD) strategy to aid patients by providing prompt and sensitive detection of breast cancer. The two primary steps that form the BCD are the Breast Cancer Discovery Step (BCDS) and the Pre-processing Step (P2S). In the P2S, the needed data are filtered from any non-informative data using three primary operations: data normalization, feature selection, and outlier rejection. Only then does the diagnostic model in the BCDS for precise diagnosis begin to be trained. The primary contribution of this research is the novel outlier rejection technique known as the Combined Outlier Rejection Technique (CORT). CORT is divided into two primary phases: (i) the Quick Rejection Phase (QRP), which is a quick phase utilizing a statistical method, and (ii) the Accurate Rejection Phase (ARP), which is a precise phase using an optimization method. Outliers are rapidly eliminated during the QRP using the standard deviation, and the remaining outliers are thoroughly eliminated during ARP via Binary Harris Hawk Optimization (BHHO). The P2S in the BCD strategy indicates that data normalization is a pre-processing approach used to find numeric values in the datasets that fall into a predetermined range. Information Gain (IG) is then used to choose the optimal subset of features, and CORT is used to reject incorrect training data. Furthermore, based on the filtered data from the P2S, an Ensemble Classification Method (ECM) is utilized in the BCDS to identify breast cancer patients. This method consists of three classifiers: Naïve Bayes (NB), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The Wisconsin Breast Cancer Database (WBCD) dataset, which contains digital images of fine-needle aspiration samples collected from patients’ breast masses, is used herein to compare the BCD strategy against several contemporary strategies. According to the outcomes of the experiment, the suggested method is very competitive. It achieves 0.987 accuracy, 0.013 error, 0.98 recall, 0.984 precision, and a run time of 3 s, outperforming all other methods from the literature.

Seismic Damage Identification Using a Combination of Mixture of Gaussian and Harris Hawks Optimization

ABSTRACTThe present study aims to identify damage in structures using seismic responses and a two‐stage method based on mixture of Gaussian (MOG) and Harris hawks optimization (HHO). Two‐dimensional (2‐D) frame structures under seismic loads are simulated using the finite element method (FEM). The placement of sensors is optimized using a combination of an iterated improved reduced system (IIRS) and the binary differential evolution (BDE) algorithm. The MOG classifier is trained to find the damaged story and damaged element type (i.e., whether it is a beam or a column) using the nodal acceleration responses at the optimal sensor placement of the seismically loaded structure. Thus, as the first step, the possibly damaged elements are located through the classifier. Then, in the second step, the damage is accurately located and quantified by HHO algorithm. The performance of the proposed method is assessed using the numerical results of 2‐D frames of 7 and 14 stories in different damage scenarios with and without considering noise. As a result, the efficiency of the proposed method for the seismic damage identification of 2‐D frames is revealed. Sensor positions are well optimized, and it causes the method to be highly effective. Moreover, MOG correctly finds a damaged story and identifies whether a damaged element is a beam or a column. Damage in the presence of noise is also localized and quantified precisely by HHO.

Multi-Objective Optimization of Three-Stage Turbomachine Rotor Based on Complex Transfer Matrix Method

This study presents the complex transfer matrix method (CTMM) as an advanced mathematical model, providing significant advantages over the finite element method (FEM) by yielding rapid solutions for complex optimization problems. In order to design a more efficient structure of a three-stage turbomachine rotor, we integrated this method with various optimization algorithms, including genetic algorithm (GA), differential evolution (DE), simulated annealing (SA), gravitational search algorithm (GSA), black hole (BH), particle swarm optimization (PSO), Harris hawk optimization (HHO), artificial bee colony (ABC), and non-metaheuristic pattern search (PS). Thus, the best rotor geometry can be obtained fast with minimum bearing forces and disk deflections within design limits. In the results, the efficiency of the CTMM for achieving optimized designs is demonstrated. The CTMM outperformed the FEM in both speed and applicability for complex rotordynamic problems. The CTMM was found to deliver results of comparable quality much faster than the FEM, especially with higher element quality. The use of the CTMM in the iterative optimization process is shown to be highly advantageous. Furthermore, it is noted that among the different optimization algorithms, ABC provided the best results for this multi-objective optimization problem.

LEVERAGING CORPUS LINGUISTICS AND DATA-DRIVEN DEEP LEARNING FOR TEXTUAL EMOTION ANALYSIS

Emotions have played a major part in the conversation, as they express context to the conversation. Text or words in conversation contain contextual and lexical meanings. In recent times, obtaining emotion from the text has been an attractive area of research. With the emergence of machine learning (ML) algorithms and hardware to aid the ML method, identifying emotion from the text with ML provides significant and promising solutions. The main objective of Textual Emotion Analysis (TEA) is to analyze and extract the user’s emotional states in the text. Many different Complex Systems and Deep Learning (DL) algorithms have been fast-paced developed and proved their effectiveness in several fields including audio, image, and natural language processing (NLP). This has moved researchers away from the classical ML to DL for their academic research work. This study develops a new Corpus Linguistics and Data-Driven Deep Learning for Textual Emotion Analysis (CLD3L-TEA) technique. The CLD3L-TEA technique mainly investigates the distinct types of emotions that endure in the social media text. In the CLD3L-TEA model, the raw data can be pre-processed in distinct ways. Next, a multi-weighted TF–IDF model is used to generate feature vectors. For the identification of emotions, the CLD3L-TEA technique applied a gated recurrent unit (GRU). At last, the hyperparameter range of the GRU model is executed by the Fractal Harris Hawks Optimization (HHO) model. The experimental validation of the CLD3L-TEA technique on a benchmark dataset illustrates the supremacy of this technique over recent approaches.

Research on Resource Allocation Algorithm for Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access Visible Light Communication

In order to satisfy the large-scale access of visible light communication (VLC) users, as well as the demand for user request rate, the resource allocation problem of visible light communication with drone-assisted non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technique is investigated. An efficient scheme for joint optimization of power allocation and access point (AP) location is proposed. According to the state of user channel information, a user pairing strategy with uniform channel gain difference for any number of users is designed, and an objective function of maximizing the average user data rate with constraints is constructed. For this non-convex NP-hard problem, the optimization problem with constraints is transformed into an optimization problem without constraints by introducing the idea of a penalty function and then solved by the Harris Hawk Optimization (HHO) algorithm based on the nonlinear energy convergence factor, and ultimately, the optimal user power allocation factor, as well as the location of the AP, are found. The simulation results show that the scheme in this paper can improve the average user data rate better compared to other classical schemes. The system performance of the HHO algorithm is improved by about 20.31% compared to the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm. The HHO algorithm based on the nonlinear energy convergence factor improves the convergence speed by about 50% compared to the classical HHO algorithm.

Efficient Flood Detection through Hybrid Machine Learning and Metaheuristic Methods using Sentinel-1

Abstract. Floods are considered among the most destructive natural disasters, requiring precise and timely management. Remote sensing, utilizing diverse satellite imagery data, enables effective monitoring and assessment of flood impacts. In this context, machine learning and deep learning methods, as effective and scalable approaches, can significantly enhance the accuracy of flood detection and management by analyzing remote sensing data, thereby playing a crucial role in mitigating flood-related risks. In this study, to flood detection using Sentinel-1 SAR data, machine learning algorithms, including Random Forest (RF) and Histogram-based Gradient Boosting Decision Tree, were employed, along with two metaheuristic algorithms, Harris Hawks Optimization (HHO) and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), for hyperparameter optimization. Additionally, to enhance the models' ability to detect flooded pixels and improve overall performance accurately, a pre-trained VGG-16 Neural Network was used as a deep feature extractor. Finally, four ensemble flood detection models—RF-HHO, RF-ACO, HGBDT-HHO, and HGBDT-ACO—were implemented, and their performance was evaluated and compared based on statistical metrics. Based on the obtained results, all four ensemble flood detection models demonstrated excellent performance in the validation and testing phases. The overall accuracy of these models reached over 95% in the validation phase and exceeded 97% in the testing phase. However, the HGBDT-ACO model achieved the highest accuracy and the lowest error rate in detecting flood pixels, making it the best-performing model in this study. Generally, HGBDT models showed a relative advantage over RF models, as they required significantly less time for training while achieving comparable results. Therefore, they were efficient and performed better in terms of computational complexity.

Nowadays, the use of thermal infrared images has become more popular in breast cancer detection. Thermal image analysis with machine learning algorithms allows physicians to make accurate decisions on cancer diagnostics. Hence, this paper introduces a novel automated breast cancer classifier using thermal infrared images. Initially, the features from the DMR – IR dataset are extracted by an integrated approach of Kernel Principle Fast Independent-Component Analysis (KPFICA) and deep object-centric pooling convolution neural network (DOCP-CNN).

Finally, the OB-TSASA guided soft voting ensemble classifier is proposed to detect and classify cancerous patients. The experiment is conducted on the DMR – IR dataset to estimate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Furthermore, the proposed method produces outstanding classification results in terms of AUC, accuracy, F1-score, sensitivity, MCC, and kappa statistics. It is observed that the classification accuracy is 97.73% which is superior to other classifiers and the error rate is 2.27% which is very low compared to other methods.

Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks with Optimized Machine Learning for Fault Detection of Triplex Pump in Industrial Digital Twin

In recent years, digital twin (DT) technology has garnered significant interest from both academia and industry. However, the development of effective fault detection and diagnosis models remains challenging due to the lack of comprehensive datasets. To address this issue, we propose the use of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to generate synthetic data that replicate real-world data, capturing essential features indicative of health-related information without directly referencing actual industrial DT systems. This paper introduces an intelligent fault detection and diagnosis framework for industrial triplex pumps, enhancing fault recognition capabilities and offering a robust solution for real-time industrial applications within the DT paradigm. The proposed framework leverages Conditional GANs (CGANs) alongside the Harris Hawk Optimization (HHO) as a metaheuristic method to optimize feature selection from input data to enhance the performance of machine learning (ML) models such as Bagged Ensemble (BE), AdaBoost (AD), Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNNs), Decision Tree (DT), and Naive Bayes (NB). The efficacy of the approach is evaluated using key performance metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F-measure on a triplex pump dataset. Experimental results indicate that hybrid-optimized ML algorithms (denoted by “ML-HHO”) generally outperform or match their classical counterparts across these metrics. BE-HHO achieves the highest accuracy at 95.24%, while other optimized models also demonstrate marginal improvements, highlighting the framework’s effectiveness for real-time fault detection in DT systems, where SVM-HHO attains 94.86% accuracy, marginally higher than SVM’s 94.48%. KNN-HHO outperforms KNNs with 94.73% accuracy compared to 93.14%. Both DT-HHO and DT achieve 94.73% accuracy, with DT-HHO exhibiting slightly better precision and recall. NB-HHO and NB show near-equivalent performance, with NB-HHO at 94.73% accuracy versus NB’s 94.6%. Overall, the optimized algorithms demonstrate consistent, albeit marginal, improvements over their classical versions.

A Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) Strategy Based on Harris Hawk Optimization (HHO) Algorithm

To address the multi-peak characteristics of the P-U output characteristic curve when the photovoltaic array is partially shaded, a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) method combining Harris Hawk optimization, and a variable step conductance increment method is proposed in this article. Although the Harris Hawk Optimization algorithm has advantages in optimizing multi-modal P-U curves, when the lighting conditions suddenly change, the output characteristic curve will undergo drastic changes, causing the algorithm to oscillate repeatedly at the maximum power point. Moreover, due to its inherent limitations, the Harris Hawk algorithm has a low convergence accuracy, slow tracking speed, and is prone to getting trapped in a local optimum. In order to compensate for the shortcomings of the Harris Hawk Optimization algorithm, the variable step conductance increment method is switched for local exploration to improve the algorithm’s ability to escape from the local optimal solution and reduce power oscillation. Finally, the MPPT control of the proposed strategy was simulated and verified on the MATLAB/Simulink simulation (2021) platform. In the MPPT test experiment, the proposed composite algorithm was applied to simulate and verify uneven irradiance conditions.

Adaptive Variable Universe Fuzzy Droop Control Based on a Novel Multi-Strategy Harris Hawk Optimization Algorithm for a Direct Current Microgrid with Hybrid Energy Storage

In the off-grid photovoltaic DC microgrid, traditional droop control encounters challenges in effectively adjusting the droop coefficient in response to varying power fluctuation frequencies, which can be influenced by factors such as line impedance. This paper introduces a novel Multi-strategy Harris Hawk Optimization Algorithm (MHHO) that integrates variable universe fuzzy control theory with droop control to develop an adaptive variable universe fuzzy droop control strategy. The algorithm employs Fuch mapping to evenly distribute the initial population across the solution space and incorporates logarithmic spiral and improved adaptive weight strategies during both the exploration and exploitation phases, enhancing its ability to escape local optima. A comparative analysis against five classical meta-heuristic algorithms on the CEC2017 benchmarks demonstrates the superior performance of the proposed algorithm. Ultimately, the adaptive variable universe fuzzy droop control based on MHHO dynamically optimizes the droop coefficient to mitigate the negative impact of internal system factors and achieve a balanced power distribution between the battery and super-capacitor in the DC microgrid. Through MATLAB/Simulink simulations, it is demonstrated that the proposed adaptive variable universe fuzzy droop control strategy based on MHHO can limit the fluctuation range of bus voltage within ±0.75%, enhance the robustness and stability of the system, and optimize the charge and discharge performance of the energy storage unit.

Landslide Displacement Prediction Using Kernel Extreme Learning Machine with Harris Hawk Optimization Based on Variational Mode Decomposition

Displacement deformation prediction is critical for landslide disaster monitoring, as a good landslide displacement prediction system helps reduce property losses and casualties. Landslides in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area (TGRA) are affected by precipitation and fluctuations in reservoir water level, and displacement deformation shows a step-like curve. Landslide displacement in TGRA is related to its geology and is affected by external factors. Hence, this study proposes a novel landslide displacement prediction model based on variational mode decomposition (VMD) and a Harris Hawk optimized kernel extreme learning machine (HHO-KELM). Specifically, VMD decomposes the measured displacement into trend, periodic, and random components. Then, the influencing factors are also decomposed into periodic and random components. The feature data, with periodic and random data, are input into the training set, and the trend, periodic, and random term components are predicted by HHO-KELM, respectively. Finally, the total predicted displacement is calculated by summing the predicted values of the three components. The accuracy and effectiveness of the prediction model are tested on the Shuizhuyuan landslide in the TGRA, with the results demonstrating that the new model provides satisfactory prediction accuracy without complex parameter settings. Therefore, under the premise of VMD effectively decomposing displacement data, combined with the global optimization ability of the HHO heuristic algorithm and the fast-learning ability of KELM, HHO-KELM can be used for displacement prediction of step-like landslides in the TGRA.

Employing an optimal control strategy for systems with measurement and actuation faults: a swarm optimization approach

ABSTRACT Various industries involve interconnected coupled tank systems to control fluid level, which poses significant challenge for traditional controllers. A tilt-integral-derivative controller offers enhanced adaptability for such systems. However, tuning of these controllers is highly challenging. This work focuses on enhancing the liquid level control in coupled tank systems using a tilt-integral-derivative controller. Tuning for the control algorithm is achieved through the application of Harris's hawks optimization. An objective function is designed by imposing constraints on performance metrics such as integral square error, integral absolute error, integral time absolute error, and closed-loop gain, which are then solved using Harris's hawks optimization. Further, the robust behaviour of the system is exhibited using μ-analysis to assess its stability. Simulation studies confirm the control algorithm's effectiveness, showing superior performance in reducing settling-time and minimizing overshoot. Additionally, the robustness of the controller in handling sensor and actuator faults under varying operating conditions is demonstrated.
