Signal modulation waveform recognition method based on STF-Net

Signal modulation waveform recognition is one of the key technologies in the field of spatial spectrum cognition and an important means to realize the monitoring and control of spectrum resources of low-orbit satellites. In view of the problems of large number of parameters and high computational complexity in the current modulation waveform recognition methods based on deep learning, a lightweight signal modulation waveform recognition method based on space-time fusion network (STF-Net) is proposed. The signal is preprocessed into dual-channel data in the form of time domain and frequency domain, and the signal spatial features are extracted and feature redundancy is reduced by convolutional neural network (CNN). Then, the long short-term memory network (LSTM) is used to extract the timing information and output the recognition result. The experimental results show that when the signal-to-noise ratio is greater than 0 dB, the average recognition accuracy of the modulation waveform of the proposed method reaches 91.79%; compared with the same method, the number of parameters of the proposed method is reduced 96%and the efficiency is increased by 2.7 times.

A text sentiment analysis method based on BiGRU and capsule network

Most of the existing sentiment analysis methods based on product review texts rarely consider the aspect features of the review texts, and the relevant analysis models do not consider the long-term contextual dependency features and local text features at the same time, thus affecting the accuracy of sentiment analysis. A text sentiment analysis method based on a bidirectional gated recurrent network (BiGRU) and a capsule network is proposed. This method first uses a word frequency statistics-based method to extract the aspect features of the review text and integrates them into the word vector representation, thereby effectively improving the expressive power of the word vector. Then, BiGRU is used to extract the long-term contextual dependency features of the text, and the capsule network is used to extract the local features of the text, thereby achieving high-precision text sentiment analysis based on aspects. Experimental results on real datasets show that the proposed method is superior to existing sentiment analysis models such as bidirectional long short-term memory network (BiLSTM), CNN-LSTM, and TextCNN in terms of evaluation indicators such as accuracy, precision, recall, and score.

Natural Language Processing for Sentiment Analysis in Social Media Posts to Identify Suspicious Behaviour

This article reports a study on the use of the natural language processing approach in the sentiment analysis of social media posts for detecting suspicious activities involving deep learning methods. The primary objective is to design an automated system capable of identifying unfavourable sentiments and patterns that imply suspicious activity such as cyberbullying, hate speech and disinformation. The methodology involves collecting a diverse data set of 2,000 posts from platforms such as X and Facebook, pre-processed by tokenisation and normalisation. The sentiment analysis model uses a long short-term memory (LSTM) network because it finds that the LSTM network is good for recognising long-term dependencies between texts. Other heuristics are used to give prominence to posts with malicious behavioural profiles to flag them accordingly. The model is designed and tuned to pre-labelled data sets. This work shows considerable improvement over previous techniques at categorising the posts as suspicious by showing higher accuracy, precision, recall and F1 score ratios. In doing so, this research positively impacts the enhancement of paranoid security or the totality of social media safety by offering a strong early detection mechanism for reducing risky behaviours on social networks.

A hybrid LSTM random forest model with grey wolf optimization for enhanced detection of multiple bearing faults

Bearing degradation is the primary cause of electrical machine failures, making reliable condition monitoring essential to prevent breakdowns. This paper presents a novel hybrid model for the detection of multiple faults in bearings, combining Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks with random forest (RF) classifiers, further enhanced by the Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) algorithm. The proposed approach is structured in three stages: first, time and frequency domain features are manually extracted from vibration signals; second, these features are processed by a dual-layer LSTM network, which is specifically designed to capture complex temporal relationships within the data; finally, the GWO algorithm is employed to optimize feature selection from the LSTM outputs, feeding the most relevant features into the RF classifier for fault classification. The model was rigorously evaluated using a dataset comprising six distinct bearing health conditions: healthy, outer race fault, ball fault, inner race fault, compounded fault, and generalized degradation. The hybrid LSTM-RF-GWO model achieved a remarkable classification accuracy of 98.97%, significantly outperforming standalone models such as LSTM (93.56%) and RF (98.44%). Furthermore, the inclusion of GWO led to an additional accuracy improvement of 0.39% compared to the hybrid LSTM-RF model without optimization. Other performance metrics, including precision, kappa coefficient, false negative rate (FNR), and false positive rate (FPR), were also improved, with precision reaching 99.28% and the kappa coefficient achieving 99.13%. The FNR and FPR were reduced to 0.0071 and 0.0015, respectively, underscoring the model’s effectiveness in minimizing misclassifications. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed hybrid LSTM-RF-GWO framework not only enhances fault detection accuracy but also provides a robust solution for distinguishing between closely related fault conditions, making it a valuable tool for predictive maintenance in industrial applications.

Efficient Method for Photovoltaic Power Generation Forecasting Based on State Space Modeling and BiTCN

As global carbon reduction initiatives progress and the new energy sector rapidly develops, photovoltaic (PV) power generation is playing an increasingly significant role in renewable energy. Accurate PV output forecasting, influenced by meteorological factors, is essential for efficient energy management. This paper presents an optimal hybrid forecasting strategy, integrating bidirectional temporal convolutional networks (BiTCN), dynamic convolution (DC), bidirectional long short-term memory networks (BiLSTM), and a novel mixed-state space model (Mixed-SSM). The mixed-SSM combines the state space model (SSM), multilayer perceptron (MLP), and multi-head self-attention mechanism (MHSA) to capture complementary temporal, nonlinear, and long-term features. Pearson and Spearman correlation analyses are used to select features strongly correlated with PV output, improving the prediction correlation coefficient (R2) by at least 0.87%. The K-Means++ algorithm further enhances input data features, achieving a maximum R2 of 86.9% and a positive R2 gain of 6.62%. Compared with BiTCN variants such as BiTCN-BiGRU, BiTCN-transformer, and BiTCN-LSTM, the proposed method delivers a mean absolute error (MAE) of 1.1%, root mean squared error (RMSE) of 1.2%, and an R2 of 89.1%. These results demonstrate the model’s effectiveness in forecasting PV power and supporting low-carbon, safe grid operation.

Secondary actions in vehicles are activities that drivers engage in while driving that are not directly related to the primary task of operating the vehicle. Secondary Action Recognition (SAR) in drivers is vital for enhancing road safety and minimizing accidents related to distracted driving. It also plays an important part in modern car driving systems such as Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADASs), as it helps identify distractions and predict the driver’s intent. Traditional methods of action recognition in vehicles mostly rely on RGB videos, which can be significantly impacted by external conditions such as low light levels. In this research, we introduce a novel method for SAR. Our approach utilizes depth-video data obtained from a depth sensor located in a vehicle. Our methodology leverages the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), which is enhanced by the Spatial Enhanced Attention Mechanism (SEAM) and combined with Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) networks. This method significantly enhances action recognition ability in depth videos by improving both the spatial and temporal aspects. We conduct experiments using K-fold cross validation, and the experimental results show that on the public benchmark dataset Drive&Act, our proposed method shows significant improvement in SAR compared to the state-of-the-art methods, reaching an accuracy of about 84% in SAR in depth videos.

In this paper, we conducted sufficient experiments to compare the effects of EMD and EEMD and the effects of different neural network models, and verified the contribution of the Hilbert-Huang transform to improve the classification performance through ablation experiments, which proves the effectiveness and reliability of our proposed algorithm, and provided powerful technical support for the robot to adapt to the ground information in the complex environment.

Transformer assisted by DSC and BiLSTM for bearing fault pattern recognition under strong noise interference

ABSTRACT Deep learning has greatly promoted intelligent fault diagnosis for bearings and has led to the development of many intelligent fault recognition methods based on deep neural networks. However, bearing fault signals in industrial applications are susceptible to noise interference, and intelligent recognition methods for bearing faults under strong noise interference are lacking. An intelligent fault pattern recognition model termed IFPR-MDL, which is based on a Transformer assisted by depthwise separable convolutional (DSC) and bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) networks, is designed to identify bearing faults under strong noise conditions. In this model, multiscale features are first extracted by a multiscale feature extraction module designed on the basis of DSC; then, contextual information is further extracted by a BiLSTM, and information from different scales is integrated by Transformer encoders. The DSC network facilitates model parameter reduction, the BiLSTM network has expertise in mining temporal features, and the Transformer network excels at capturing long-range feature correlations. This model fully utilises the advantages of these models and complements them to improve the anti-interference ability of bearing fault pattern recognition. Tests on several public datasets show that the proposed model has higher recognition accuracy, stronger generalisation ability, and noise resistance in strong noise situations.

Its high F2-score (0.9810) and F0.5-score (0.9857) further highlight its effectiveness in accurately detecting AI-generated spam while minimizing false positives, making it the most reliable option for this task. Similarly, the Word2Vec-based LSTM model also performed exceptionally well, with an accuracy of 97.58%, a precision of 0.97, a recall of 0.96, and an F1-score of 0.97.

The precise estimation of the operational lifespan of insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBT) holds paramount significance for ensuring the efficient and uncompromised safety of industrial equipment. However, numerous methodologies and models currently employed for this purpose often fall short of delivering highly accurate predictions. The analytical approach that combines the Pattern Optimization Algorithm (POA) with Successive Variational Mode Decomposition (SVMD) and Bidirectional Long Short-term Memory (BiLSTM) network is introduced.

Subsequently, the various modal functions are predicted utilizing the trained prediction model, and the individual mode predictions are subsequently aggregated to yield the model’s definitive final life prediction. Through case studies involving IGBT aging datasets, the optimal prediction model was formulated and its lifespan prediction capability was validated. The superiority of the proposed method is demonstrated by comparing it with benchmark models and other state-of-the-art methods.

Background and Objective:Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a critical health issue characterized by the sudden failure of heart function, often caused by ventricular fibrillation (VF). Early prediction of SCD is crucial to enable timely interventions. However, current methods predict SCD only a few minutes before its onset, limiting intervention time. This study aims to develop a deep learning-based model for the early prediction of SCD using electrocardiography (ECG) signals. Methods:A multimodal explainable deep learning-based model is developed to analyze ECG signals at discrete intervals ranging from 5 to 30 min before SCD onset. The raw ECG signals, 2D scalograms generated through wavelet transform and 2D Hilbert spectrum generated through Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT) of ECG signals were applied to multiple deep learning algorithms. For raw ECG, a combination of 1D-convolutional neural networks (1D-CNN) and long short-term memory networks were employed for feature extraction and temporal pattern recognition. Besides, to extract and analyze features from scalograms and Hilbert spectra, Vision Transformer (ViT) and 2D-CNN have been used. Results:The developed model achieved high performance, with accuracy, precision, recall and F1-score of 98.81%, 98.83%, 98.81%, and 98.81% respectively to predict SCD onset 30 min in advance. Further, the proposed model can accurately classify SCD patients and normal controls with 100% accuracy. Thus, the proposed method outperforms the existing state-of-the-art methods. Conclusions:The developed model is capable of capturing diverse patterns on ECG signals recorded at multiple discrete time intervals (at 5-minute increments from 5 min to 30 min) prior to SCD onset that could discriminate for SCD. The proposed model significantly improves early SCD prediction, providing a valuable tool for continuous ECG monitoring in high-risk patients.

Data-Driven State of Health Interval Prediction for Lithium-Ion Batteries

The accurate prediction of the state of health (SOH) for lithium-ion batteries is a key factor for improving the performance of battery management systems (BMS). However, traditional point prediction methods are difficult to effectively eliminate errors due to the uncertainty of variables and application environments. This paper presents a model for predicting the interval of lithium-ion batteries based on health indicators (HIs) during charging, which addresses the limitations of current point prediction in practical applications. First, twelve HIs are extracted from the current and voltage variables of the charging process. Secondly, feature selection is performed by random forest (RF) training, and the selected HIs are dimensioned using partial least squares (PLS). Finally, a long short-term memory network (LSTM) combined with quantile regression (QR) is used to derive the quantile values of the prediction points and each quantile is employed as input information for Gaussian kernel density estimation (KDE) to obtain the SOH probability density distribution. The experimental results based on the NASA PCOE Li-ion battery dataset and CALCE Li-ion battery dataset show that the SOH interval coverage is more than 90% and the average width of the interval is less than 0.294.

Currently, the alarm functions of existing levee seepage monitoring systems are limited to single-parameter monitoring and lack rate-of-change alarms and correlation alarms. This can lead to false alarms, missed alarms, equipment failures, or unnecessary downtime. To enhance the intelligence of levee safety monitoring and seepage alarms, a levee seepage intelligent alarm system based on a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BILSTM) network model was designed and implemented. Firstly, data cleaning and preprocessing are carried out on the engineering safety monitoring operation data to reduce the influence of dirty data such as outliers and repetitive values on the accuracy of alarms. Secondly, for the correlation between the piezometric tube water levels of the levee and the Yangtze River water levels, a correlation analysis based on Mutual Information (MI) theory was conducted to minimize the effect of piezometric tube water level change delays on correlation. Finally, the BILSTM model was used to predict trends in these potentially abnormal data intervals. Based on engineering application requirements, alarm thresholds were established, and a multi-level alarm module was developed. Field operation test results show that the proposed method can accurately predict the piezometric tube water levels of levees, achieving intelligent alarms within the engineering safety monitoring system.

The proposed model was compared with LSTM, CNN-LSTM, and LSTM-Attention models. The results indicate that the proposed model outperforms the others, achieving a prediction accuracy of 98%. The model demonstrates superior accuracy and more stable performance. The generalization performance of the prediction model was evaluated using four experimental datasets with varying storage temperature and humidity conditions. The results show that the model achieves optimal prediction stability when the training set contains similar storage temperatures, with prediction accuracy exceeding 99.8%. This indicates that the model can effectively predict the mildew grades in rice under varying environmental conditions, demonstrating significant potential for grain mildew prediction and early warning systems.

Furthermore, the reutilization of recycled aggregates and nano-silica gives a real environmental benefit as less waste is produced but the material performance is maximized. This kind of outcome indicates how the proposed model can be practically applied in optimizing concrete design in terms of strength and sustainability features, thus providing an accessible instrument for decision-making in the construction field. It is an effective tool to improve the performance of concrete while minimizing environmental and material wastes.
