This paper presents a study of the Smell Agent Symbiotic Organism Search (SASOS) hybrid algorithm. SASOS is developed from bioinspired Smell Agent-Based Optimization(SAO) and Symbiosis Organism Search (SOS) algorithms. Bioinspired algorithms often lack a balance between speed and accuracy to achieve optimal performance efficiency and a global search for the best solution. To address these challenges, the algorithm reduces the imbalance between diversification and intensification in bioinspired algorithms to improve the search for global optima. SASOS performance was evaluated in sixteen selected Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC) functions using Aggregative Best Counts (ABC) compared to the regular SAO and SOS algorithms. For an advanced performance comparison, the convergence study was carried out on each CEC function to assess the fitness of the algorithms based on the Desirable Convergence Goal (DCG). Evaluation results using 50 iterations have shown that SASOS performed better withABCof56.25%than the SAO and SOS algorithms with ABC of 28.12% and 15.63%, respectively, in standard benchmark functions. Furthermore, in the convergence study, 1000 iterations were superimposed for each algorithm on the CEC functions. The convergence results showed that SASOS obtained the best DCG of 58.83%compared to SOS and SAO with DCG of 25.00% and 16.67%, respectively. These results made the performance of the hybrid SASOS uniquely different from other similar approaches.This is because the hybrid SASOS satisfactorily balanced the diversification and intensification phases in the bioinspired SAO and SOS algorithms. The eligible characteristics of the hybrid SASOS with respect to ABC and DCG showed its compatibilityand significance forvarious engineering optimizationapplications
本文研究了气味剂共生生物搜索(SASOS)混合算法。SASOS是由基于生物的气味代理优化(SAO)和共生生物搜索(SOS)算法发展而来的。生物启发算法通常缺乏速度和准确性之间的平衡,以实现最佳性能效率和全局搜索最佳解决方案。为了解决这些挑战,该算法减少了生物启发算法中多样化和集约化之间的不平衡,以改善对全局最优的搜索。与常规SAO和SOS算法相比,SASOS的性能在16个选定的进化计算大会(CEC)函数中使用聚合最佳计数(ABC)进行评估。为了进行高级性能比较,对每个CEC函数进行收敛性研究,以评估基于理想收敛目标(DCG)的算法的适应度。50次迭代的评价结果表明,SASOS算法的abcof56.25%优于SAO算法和SOS算法,ABC分别为28.12%和15.63%。此外,在收敛性研究中,每种算法在CEC函数上叠加1000次迭代。收敛结果表明,SASOS的DCG为58.83%,而SOS和SAO的DCG分别为25.00%和16.67%。这些结果使得混合SASOS的性能与其他类似方法截然不同。这是因为混合SASOS令人满意地平衡了生物启发SAO和SOS算法中的多样化和强化阶段。混合SASOS在ABC和DCG方面的合格特性显示了其在各种工程优化应用中的兼容性和意义

Android is an open-source operating system mainly built for smart devices to make them easy to use and user-friendly. Thus, it has immensely engulfed other operating systems in mobile devices, which have become not only a major stakeholder in the market but have also become attractive targets for cyber criminals to lure many Androids malware with the intention of stealing or destroying the user's information without the user knowing. Many traditional signature-based anti-malware efforts have been made to combat malicious apps, but these efforts have been insufficient due to the lack of ability to detect unknown malware. This insufficient effort by traditional signature-based has led to the intervention of researchers to embark upon combating unknown malware using machine learning techniques. This study looks into many existing research papers on malware detection using machine learning in order to determine the significance of feature selection techniques. The comparative analysis examines the importance of feature selection and unselected feature techniques
Android是一个开源的操作系统,主要针对智能设备,使其易于使用和用户友好。因此,它极大地吞噬了移动设备中的其他操作系统,这些操作系统不仅成为市场的主要利益相关者,而且成为网络罪犯吸引许多android恶意软件的诱人目标,意图在用户不知情的情况下窃取或破坏用户的信息。许多传统的基于签名的反恶意软件已经用于打击恶意应用程序,但由于缺乏检测未知恶意软件的能力,这些努力还不够。由于传统的基于签名的努力不足,研究人员开始使用机器学习技术来对抗未知的恶意软件。为了确定特征选择技术的重要性,本研究查阅了许多关于使用机器学习进行恶意软件检测的现有研究论文。对比分析检验了特征选择和未选择特征技术的重要性

Digital image authentication and security are crucial concerns for the digital revolution since any image may be readily tampered with. Digital watermarking schemes were since been utilized to tackle a range of problems over time and involving the verification of digital images and copyright protection. In a real-world setting, watermarked contents are frequently subject to a succession of assaults which makes it necessary to strike a balance between resilience and imperceptibility in the face of attacks. There are numerous hazards to this, and numerous watermarking techniques have been created to counter them. Data with less perceptual distortion should be able to be included in a real watermarking technique in addition to restoring the original cover content. As a result, robustness, imperceptibility, and security are three crucial criteria for digital content'sauthentication and copyrightpreservation. This study therefore presents a careful review of some cutting-edge watermarking technologies used for copyright protection and authentication so as to identify their strengths and limitations. For clarity, this study shall explain some basic concepts of digital watermarking as well as the various forms of attacks on watermarks. The contributions from this work will be useful to researchers aim at developing efficient watermarking techniques
数字图像认证和安全是数字革命的关键问题,因为任何图像都可能很容易被篡改。此后,数字水印方案被用来解决一系列涉及数字图像验证和版权保护的问题。在现实世界中,带水印的内容经常受到一系列攻击,这使得在面对攻击时必须在弹性和不可感知性之间取得平衡。这有许多危险,并且已经创建了许多水印技术来对抗它们。除了恢复原始封面内容外,具有较少感知失真的数据应该能够包含在真正的水印技术中。因此,健壮性、不可感知性和安全性是数字内容认证和版权保护的三个关键标准。因此,本研究对一些用于版权保护和认证的前沿水印技术进行了仔细的回顾,以确定它们的优势和局限性。为了清晰起见,本研究将解释数字水印的一些基本概念以及对水印的各种攻击形式。本文的研究成果对开发高效的水印技术具有重要的指导意义

Heavy metals persistence in water brings about undesirable effect on man and animal because they are not degradable like other organic pollutants. Carbonized Avocado Pear seed (CAPS) as well as carbonized orange peel (COP) was impregnated with Potassium hydroxide (KOH) in ratio 1:1 for 48 hours. The KOH impregnated CAPS and COP was separately washed and oven dried at 10 for 6 hours and thereafter heated in a muffle furnace (Carbolite AAF1100) at 2500C for 1 hour. The activated carbonized pear seed (ACAPS) and activated carbonized orange peel (ACOP) obtained was physicochemically described with SEM and FTIR. The adsorption route of Pb2+ ion on top of ACAPS as well as ACOP was examined by means of batch adsorption isotherm investigation. The Pb2+ ion adsorption pattern was assessed with Langmuir, DRK, Freundlich, Tempkin and Flory-Huggin isotherm models. The SEM photograph, disclosed that ACAPS posessed numerous openings of different dimensions whereas ACOP possessed less openings of lesser dimensions. R2 worth ranging from 0.92 to 1.00 was got, indicating that the whole isotherm models were capable of elucidating the connection in the figures got. The Pb2+ ion had a firmer attraction and adsorption capacity for ACAPS. On the overall, ACAPS was a superior adsorbent likened with ACOP for effectual elimination of Pb2+ ion owing to a blend of its numerous pores of different dimensions and it surface functional groups with a qm worth of 23.10 and 6.06mg/g in that order.
重金属与其他有机污染物一样,具有不可降解性,在水中的持久性给人类和动物带来了不良影响。用氢氧化钾(KOH)以1:1的比例浸渍碳化牛油果梨籽(CAPS)和碳化橘皮(COP) 48小时。将KOH浸渍的CAPS和COP分别清洗并在10℃下烘干6小时,然后在马弗炉(Carbolite AAF1100)中在2500℃下加热1小时。用扫描电镜(SEM)和红外光谱(FTIR)对所制得的活性炭梨籽(ACAPS)和活性炭橘皮(ACOP)进行了理化表征。采用间歇吸附等温线研究了Pb2+离子在ACAPS和ACOP表面的吸附路线。采用Langmuir, DRK, Freundlich, Tempkin和Flory-Huggin等温模型对Pb2+离子的吸附模式进行了评价。扫描电镜照片显示,ACAPS具有许多不同尺寸的开口,而ACOP具有较少的小尺寸开口。得到的R2值在0.92 ~ 1.00之间,说明整个等温线模型能够阐明所得到的图中的联系。Pb2+离子对ACAPS具有较强的吸引力和吸附能力。综上所述,由于ACAPS具有大量不同尺寸的孔隙,其表面官能团的qm值依次为23.10和6.06mg/g,因此ACAPS在吸附Pb2+离子方面优于ACOP。

The study examined information and communication technology training and job performances of library professionals in Rivers State University and University of Port Harcourt. Descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. The population of the study comprised all library professionals and para-professionals from both universities understudy. Purposive sampling was used to select 51 library staff. A structured questionnaire was used as instrument for data collection. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. The hypothesis was tested using Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient. The study however found that ICT trainings significantly impact on Job performances of library professionals. The types of ICT training significant are on the use of computer/internet, OPAC, ILMS, emails, smartphones, databases and networking sites. The trainings are mostly received through conferences, workshops and personal training scheme. The study also found that there is non-frequent ICT training scheme as most schemes are held once in every two years in the academic libraries studied, and this is insufficient to guarantee effective job performances and staff productivity at all times. Therefore to keep abreast with the constantly evolving communication technologies, the study recommends a regular capacity building for at least twice a year. Also, library professionals should be encouraged to attend ICT seminars, workshops, conferences within and outside the library, and also engage in personal training scheme to develop themselves more.
这项研究调查了河流州立大学和哈科特港大学图书馆专业人员的信息和通信技术培训和工作表现。本研究采用描述性调查设计。研究对象包括两所大学的图书馆专业人员和辅助专业人员。采用有目的抽样的方法,选取51名图书馆工作人员。采用结构化问卷作为数据收集工具。采用描述性统计对数据进行分析。采用Pearson积矩相关系数对假设进行检验。然而,研究发现ICT培训对图书馆专业人员的工作绩效有显著影响。重要的信息和通信技术培训类型是关于计算机/互联网、OPAC、ILMS、电子邮件、智能手机、数据库和网络站点的使用。培训主要通过会议、工作坊和个人培训计划进行。这项研究还发现,由于所研究的学术图书馆的大多数培训计划每两年举行一次,因此不经常有信通技术培训计划,这不足以保证任何时候有效的工作业绩和工作人员的生产力。因此,为了跟上不断发展的通信技术,该研究建议每年至少进行两次定期的能力建设。此外,应鼓励图书馆专业人员参加图书馆内外的信息和通信技术研讨会、讲习班和会议,并参加个人培训计划,以进一步发展自己。

Default Prediction for Loan Lenders Using Machine Learning Algorithms 使用机器学习算法的贷款机构默认预测
Pub Date : 2022-12-29 DOI: 10.56471/slujst.v5i.222
Awuza Abdulrashid Egwa
Credit loans are considered most essential aspect of most financial institutions. All loan mortgagees or lenders are demanding to identify out effective commercial and business approaches to encourage customers to apply their credit loans. There are numerous business patrons who act negatively after their requests got approval. To avert this condition, lenders have to discover some techniques to forecast customer’s behaviors. This resulted to the usage of machine learning algorithms by the financial lending institutions for accessing loan applicants. Despite advancements in automating decision-based loan systems, most existing models do not consider the “early loan repayment” attribute as a factor in resolving this prediction error. In reality, the amendment for preliminary loan reimbursement in model building is obligatory, since a larger numbers of timely loan reimbursement observed during the loan period, reduces default rate. For effective model’s comparison based on accuracy and minimum errors of prediction, six supervised machine learning algorithms i.e. Random Forest, Artificial Neural Network, Classification and Regression Tree, Support Vector Machine, Logistic Regression, and Naïve Bayes were adopted to develop a default prediction models which include the early loan repayment attribute. The models were trained and tested on a loan dataset consisting of attributes with, and without early loan repayment attribute and were evaluated using five performance metrics. The results of the performance evaluation show that models that account for early loan repayment have higher accuracy, recall, precision, Root Mean Square Error and Receiver Operative Characteristics curve values than models trained without the early loan repayment attribute. The Random forest model proofed to be the best predictive model having 93% accuracy, 11% RMSE, 90% precision, 89% recall and 81% ROC value over others models.
信用贷款被认为是大多数金融机构最重要的方面。所有贷款承按人或放款人都要求找出有效的商业和业务方法,以鼓励客户申请信贷贷款。有许多商业赞助人在他们的请求得到批准后采取了消极的行动。为了避免这种情况,贷方必须发现一些技术来预测客户的行为。这导致金融贷款机构使用机器学习算法来访问贷款申请人。尽管基于决策的自动化贷款系统取得了进步,但大多数现有模型并未将“提前还款”属性作为解决此预测错误的因素。在现实中,模型构建过程中对贷款前期偿还的修改是强制性的,因为在贷款期间观察到更多的及时偿还贷款,降低了违约率。为了在预测准确性和最小误差的基础上对有效模型进行比较,采用随机森林、人工神经网络、分类与回归树、支持向量机、逻辑回归和Naïve贝叶斯等6种监督机器学习算法,建立了包含早期贷款偿还属性的默认预测模型。这些模型在一个贷款数据集上进行了训练和测试,该数据集由具有和不具有早期贷款偿还属性的属性组成,并使用五个性能指标进行了评估。绩效评估结果表明,考虑提前还款属性的模型比不考虑提前还款属性的模型具有更高的准确率、召回率、精度、均方根误差和接收者操作特征曲线值。随机森林模型被证明是最好的预测模型,比其他模型具有93%的准确率,11%的RMSE, 90%的精度,89%的召回率和81%的ROC值。

All loan mortgagees or lenders are demanding to identify out effective commercial and business approaches to encourage customers to apply their credit loans. There are numerous business patrons who act negatively after their requests got approval. To avert this condition, lenders have to discover some techniques to forecast customer’s behaviors. This resulted to the usage of machine learning algorithms by the financial lending institutions for accessing loan applicants. Despite advancements in automating decision-based loan systems, most existing models do not consider the “early loan repayment” attribute as a factor in resolving this prediction error. In reality, the amendment for preliminary loan reimbursement in model building is obligatory, since a larger numbers of timely loan reimbursement observed during the loan period, reduces default rate.

The rapid advancement and development in high performance computing, ultrafast computing, autonomous technologies and complexity of biomedical data for visualization and image guidance play a significant role in modern surgery to help surgeons perform their surgical procedures. Brain tumour diagnosis requires an enhanced, effective as well as accurate 3-D visualization system for navigation, reference, diagnosis as well as documentation. The automatic and effective 3-D high performance artificial intelligence-enabled medical visualization framework was designed and implemented using automated machine learning (AutoML) to take the advantage of complexity in the underlying datasets to help specialists in identifying the most appropriate regions of interest and their associated hyper parameters for optimizing performance, whilst simultaneously attempting to maximize the reliability of resulting predictions. C# and Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) in Microsoft.NET environment in comparison side by side with visual basic studio was used for the implementation. The framework was evaluated for rendering processing speed with brain datasets obtained from the department of surgery, University of North Carolina, United States. Interestingly, our framework achieves 3-D visualization of the human brain, reliable enough to detect and locate possible brain tumor with high interactive speed and accuracy.

We propose some fixed duration pursuit differential game problems of l-catch in a Hilbert space. Players' motions obey ordinary differential equations and the control functions of players are subjected to either integral or geometric constraints. Pursuit is said to be completed in l-catch sense if the distance between the players with conicting goals are less than a fixed constant l. In this sense, we obtain sufficient conditions for the completion of the pursuit and construct a strategy for the pursuer in each of the four different problems considered. Furthermore, we give examples to support our theoretical findings
提出了Hilbert空间中l-catch的定时追逐微分对策问题。玩家的运动服从常微分方程,玩家的控制函数受到积分或几何约束。如果具有相同目标的参与者之间的距离小于一个固定的常数l,则在l-catch意义上,追捕已经完成。在这种意义上,我们得到了完成追捕的充分条件,并在所考虑的四个不同问题中分别为追捕者构建了一个策略。此外,我们给出了实例来支持我们的理论发现
