Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are widely used in various military and civilian applications. UAV mission scheduling is a key issue in UAV applications and a central topic in UAV research. UAV task scheduling should include several constraints into consideration, such as completion time constraint, flight distance constraint, and resource consumption constraint. Furthermore, UAV task scheduling should be studied within the traditional framework of combinatorial optimisation. In this paper, we consider optimal mission scheduling for heterogeneous UAVs with completion time, flight distance, and resource consumption constraints. The contributions of the paper are summarised as follows. We define two combinatorial optimisation problems, namely, the NFTM (number of finished tasks maximisation) problem and the RFTM (reward of finished tasks maximisation) problem. We construct an algorithmic framework for both NFTM and RFTM problems, so that our heuristic algorithms (four for NFTM and two for RFTM) can be presented in a unified way. We derive upper bounds for optimal solutions, so that our heuristic solutions can be compared with optimal solutions. We experimentally evaluate the performance of our heuristic algorithms. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper studying UAV mission scheduling with time, distance, and resource constraints as combinatorial optimisation problems.

This paper focuses on exploring and comparing different machine learning algorithms in the context of diabetes management. The aim is to understand their characteristics, mathematical foundations, and practical implications specifically for predicting blood glucose levels. The study provides an overview of the algorithms, with a particular emphasis on deep learning techniques such as Long Short-Term Memory Networks. Efficiency is a crucial factor in practical machine learning applications, especially in the context of diabetes management. Therefore, the paper investigates the trade-off between accuracy, resource utilisation, time consumption, and computational power requirements, aiming to identify the optimal balance. By analysing these algorithms, the research uncovers their distinct behaviours and highlights their dissimilarities, even when their analytical underpinnings may appear similar.

Dynamic measurement via deep learning can be applied in many industrial fields significantly (e.g. electrical power load and fault diagnosis acquisition). Nowadays, accurate and continuous loading measurement is essential in coal mine production. The existing methods are weak in loading measurement because they ignore the symbol characteristics of loading and adjusting features. To address the problem, we propose a hybrid learning method (called ScTCN-LightGBM) to realize the loading measurement of industrial material effectively. First, we provide an abnormal data processing method to guarantee raw data accuracy. Second, we design a sided-composited temporal convolutional network that combines a novel transposed dimensionality-reduction convolution residual block with the conventional residual block. This module can extract symbol characteristics and values of loading and adjusting features well. Finally, we utilize the light-gradient boosting machine to measure loading capacity. Experimental results show that the ScTCN-LightGBM outperforms existing measurement models with high metrics, especially the stability coefficient R2 is 0.923. Compared to the conventional loading measurement method, the measurement performance via ScTCN-LigthGBM improves by 40.2% and the continuous measurement time is 11.28s. This study indicates that the proposed model can achieve the loading measurement of industrial material effectively.

While population aging has sharply increased the demand for nursing staff, it has also increased the workload of nursing staff. Although some nursing homes use robots to perform part of the work, such robots are the type of robots that perform set tasks. The requirements in actual application scenarios often change, so robots that perform set tasks cannot effectively reduce the workload of nursing staff. In order to provide practical help to nursing staff in nursing homes, we innovatively combine the LightGBM algorithm with the machine learning interpretation framework SHAP (Shapley Additive exPlanations) and use comprehensive data analysis methods to propose a service demand prediction model Fidan (Forecast service demand model). This model analyzes and predicts the demand for elderly services in nursing homes based on relevant health management data (including physiological and sleep data), ward round data, and nursing service data collected by IoT devices. We optimise the model parameters based on Grid Search during the training process. The experimental results show that the Fidan model has an accuracy rate of 86.61% in predicting the demand for elderly services.
人口老龄化在急剧增加对护理人员需求的同时,也增加了护理人员的工作量。尽管一些养老院使用机器人来完成部分工作,但这类机器人是执行固定任务的机器人。实际应用场景中的需求往往会发生变化,因此机器人执行既定任务并不能有效减少护理人员的工作量。为了给养老院的护理人员提供切实的帮助,我们创新地将LightGBM算法与机器学习解释框架SHAP (Shapley Additive explanatory)相结合,运用综合数据分析方法,提出了服务需求预测模型Fidan (Forecast service demand model)。该模型基于相关健康管理数据(包括生理和睡眠数据)、查房数据以及物联网设备收集的护理服务数据,对养老院养老服务需求进行分析和预测。在训练过程中基于网格搜索对模型参数进行优化。实验结果表明,Fidan模型预测养老服务需求的准确率为86.61%。

The penaeid shrimp farming industry is experiencing rapid growth. To reduce costs and labour, automation techniques such as counting and size estimation are increasingly being adopted. Feeding based on the degree of stomach fullness can significantly reduce food waste and water contamination. Therefore, we propose an intelligent shrimp farming system that includes shrimp detection, measurement of approximated shrimp length, shrimp quantity, and two methods for determining the degree of digestive tract fullness. We introduce AR-YOLOv5 (Angular Rotation YOLOv5) in the system to enhance both shrimp growth and the environmental sustainability of shrimp farming. Our experiments were conducted in a real shrimp farming environment. The length and quantity are estimated based on the bounding box, and the level of stomach fullness is approximated using the ratio of the shrimp´s digestive tract to its body size. In terms of detection performance, our proposed method achieves a precision rate of 97.70%, a recall rate of 91.42%, a mean average precision of 94.46%, and an F1-score of 95.42% using AR-YOLOv5. Furthermore, our stomach fullness determined method achieves an accuracy of 88.8%, a precision rate of 91.7%, a recall rate of 90.9%, and an F1-score of 91.3% in real shrimp farming environments.

Online reviews contain comparative opinions that reveal the competitive relationships of related products, help identify the competitiveness of products in the marketplace, and influence consumers’ purchasing choices. The Class Sequence Rule (CSR) method, which is previously commonly used to identify the comparative relations of reviews, suffers from low recognition efficiency and inaccurate generation of rules. In this paper, we improve on the CSR method by proposing a hybrid CSR method, which utilises dependency relations and the part-of-speech to identify frequent sequence patterns in customer reviews, which can reduce manual intervention and reinforce sequence rules in the relation mining process. Such a method outperforms CSR and other CSR-based models with an F-value of 84.67%. In different experiments, we find that the method is characterised by less time-consuming and efficient in generating sequence patterns, as the dependency direction helps to reduce the sequence length. In addition, this method also performs well in implicit relation mining for extracting comparative information that lacks obvious rules. In this study, the optimal CSR method is applied to automatically capture the deeper features of comparative relations, thus improving the process of recognising explicit and implicit comparative relations.
