There are many design problems need to be optimized in various fields of engineering, and most of them belong to the NP-hard problem. The meta-heuristic algorithm is one kind of optimization method and provides an effective way to solve the NP-hard problem. Salp swarm algorithm (SSA) is a nature-inspired algorithm that mimics and mathematically models the behavior of slap swarm in nature. However, similar to most of the meta-heuristic algorithms, the traditional SSA has some shortcomings, such as entrapment in local optima. In this paper, the three main strategies are adopted to strengthen the basic SSA, including chaos theory, sine-cosine mechanism and the principle of quantum computation. Therefore, the SSA variant is proposed in this research, namely SCQ-SSA. The representative benchmark functions are employed to test the performances of the algorithms. The SCQ-SSA are compared with the seven algorithms in high-dimensional functions (1000 dimensions), seven SSA variants and six advanced variants on benchmark functions, the experiment reveals that the SCQ-SSA enhances resulting precision and alleviates local optimal problems. Besides, the SCQ-SSA is applied to resolve three classical engineering problems: tubular column design problem, tension/compression spring design problem and pressure vessel design problem. The design results indicate that these engineering problems are optimized with high accuracy and superiority by the improved SSA.

In recent years, many studies have attempted to use deep learning for moving object detection. Some research also combines object detection methods with traditional background modeling. However, this approach may run into some problems with parameter settings and weight imbalances. In order to solve the aforementioned problems, this paper proposes a new way to combine ViBe and Faster-RCNN for moving object detection. To be more specific, our approach is to confine the candidate boxes to only retain the area containing moving objects through traditional background modeling. Furthermore, in order to make the detection able to more accurately filter out the static object, the probability of each region proposal then being retained. In this paper, we compare four famous methods, namely GMM and ViBe for the traditional methods, and DeepBS and SFEN for the deep learning-based methods. The result of the experiment shows that the proposed method has the best overall performance score among all methods. The proposed method is also robust to the dynamic background and environmental changes and is able to separate stationary objects from moving objects. Especially the overall <italic>F</italic>-measure with the CDNET 2014 dataset (like in the dynamic background and intermittent object motion cases) was 0,8572.

Recently, measuring users and community influences on social media networks play significant roles in science and engineering. To address the problems, many researchers have investigated measuring users with these influences by dealing with huge data sets. However, it is hard to enhance the performances of these studies with multiple attributes together with these influences on social networks. This paper has presented a novel model for measuring users with these influences on a social network. In this model, the suggested algorithm combines Knowledge Graph and the learning techniques based on the vote rank mechanism to reflect user interaction activities on the social network. To validate the proposed method, the proposed method has been tested through homogeneous graph with the building knowledge graph based on user interactions together with influences in real-time. Experimental results of the proposed model using six open public data show that the proposed algorithm is an effectiveness in identifying influential nodes.

In recent years, various models based on convolutional neural networks (CNN) have been proposed to solve the cardiac arrhythmia detection problem and achieved saturated accuracy. However, these models are often viewed as “blackbox” and lack of interpretability, which hinders the understanding of cardiologists, and ultimately hinders the clinical use of intelligent terminals. At the same time, most of these approaches are supervised learning and require label data. It is a time-consuming and expensive process to obtain label data. Furthermore, in human visual cortex, the importance of lateral connection is same as feed-forward connection. Until now, CNN based on lateral connection have not been studied thus far. Consequently, in this paper, we combines CNNs, lateral connection and autoencoder (AE) to propose the building blocks of lateral connection convolutional autoencoder neural networks (LCAN) for cardiac arrhythmia detection, which learn representations in an unsupervised manner. Concretely, the LCAN contains a convolution layer, a lateral connection layer, an AE layer, and a pooling layer. The LCAN detects salient wave features through the lateral connection layer. The AE layer and competitive learning is used to update the filters of the convolution network—an unsupervised process that ensures similar weight distribution for all adjacent filters in each convolution layer and realizes the neurons’ semantic arrangement in the LCAN. To evaluate the performances of the proposed model, we have implemented the experiments on the well-known MIT–BIH Arrhythmia Database. The proposed model yields total accuracies and kappa coefficients of 98% and 0.95, respectively. The experiment results show that the LCAN is not only effective, but also a useful tool for arrhythmia detection.

In this paper, an intelligent approach to the Short-Term Wind Power Prediction (STWPP) problem is considered, with the use of various types of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). The impact of the prediction time horizon length on accuracy, and the influence of temperature on prediction effectiveness have been analyzed. Three types of DNNs have been implemented and tested, including: CNN (Convolutional Neural Networks), GRU (Gated Recurrent Unit), and H-MLP (Hierarchical Multilayer Perceptron). The DNN architectures are part of the Deep Learning Prediction (DLP) framework that is applied in the Deep Learning Power Prediction System (DLPPS). The system is trained based on data that comes from a real wind farm. This is significant because the prediction results strongly depend on weather conditions in specific locations. The results obtained from the proposed system, for the real data, are presented and compared. The best result has been achieved for the GRU network. The key advantage of the system is a high effectiveness prediction using a minimal subset of parameters. The prediction of wind power in wind farms is very important as wind power capacity has shown a rapid increase, and has become a promising source of renewable energies.
