This article outlines an integrated strategy that combines fuzzy multi‐objective programming and a multi‐criteria decision‐making framework to achieve a number of transportation system management‐related objectives. To rank fleet cars using various criteria enhancement, the Fuzzy technique for order of preference by resemblance to optimum solution are initially integrated. We then offer a novel Multi‐Objective Possibilistic Linear Programming (MOPLP) model, based on the rankings of the vehicles, to determine the number of vehicles chosen for the work while taking into consideration the constraints placed on them. The search for optimal solutions to MOPs has benefited from the decades‐long development of classical optimisation techniques. As a result of its potential for use in the real world, multi‐objective optimisation (MOO) under uncertainty has gained traction in recent years. Recently, fuzzy set theory has been used to solve challenges in multi‐objective linear programming. In this paper, we present a method for solving MOPs that makes use of both linear and non‐linear membership functions to maximize user happiness. A hypothetical case study of transportation issue is taken here. This innovative approach improves management for the betterment of transportation networks in smart cities. The method is a more robust and versatile approach to the complex difficulties of contemporary urban transportation because it incorporates the TOPSIS method for vehicle ranking and then using Distance Operator and variable Membership Functions in fuzzy goal programming operation on the selected vehicles. The results provide valuable insights into the strengths and limitations of each technique, facilitating informed decision‐making in real‐world optimization scenarios.

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks continue to pose a significant threat to network infrastructures, exploiting vulnerabilities within existing security protocols and disrupting the seamless availability of online services. The intricate interconnections of nodes within computer networks contribute to the dynamic structure of this environment, complicating efforts to establish a secure and productive user experience. Effectively mitigating DDoS attacks in this complex networked setting remains a challenge. While current strategies primarily rely on anomaly detection and signature-based techniques, utilizing statistical analysis and predefined patterns to identify and thwart attacks, none have consistently demonstrated efficacy or reliability. Consequently, there is a compelling need for advancements in security mechanisms to address DDoS threats more effectively. This research introduces an innovative and highly efficient approach that incorporates various classification algorithms, including Random Forest, Decision Tree, Gradient Boosting, Linear SVM, Logistics, K-nearest neighbors (KNN), and AdaBoost, for DDoS attack detection. The performance of these machine learning classifiers is evaluated using key metrics such as accuracy, recall, F1-score, and precision. Remarkably, experimental results reveal outstanding accuracy rates, with Random Forest achieving the highest accuracy in detecting attacks. Additionally, a genetic algorithm is employed to select optimal features from the dataset, further enhancing the performance of the classifiers. This results in a notable 25% increase in accuracy, surpassing AdaBoost and Logistics, with K-nearest neighbors emerging as the top performer in terms of accuracy.

The current study provides the numerical solutions of the language-based model through the artificial intelligence (AI) procedure based on the scale conjugate gradient neural network (SCJGNN). The mathematical learning language differential model is characterized into three classes, named as unknown, familiar, and mastered. A dataset is generalized by using the performance of the Adam scheme, which is used to reduce to mean square error. The AI based SCJGNN procedure works by taking the data with the ratio of testing (12%), validation (13%), and training (75%). An activation log-sigmoid function, twelve numbers of neurons, SCJG optimization, hidden and output layers are presented in this stochastic computing work for solving the learning language model.

This work provides numerical simulations of the nonlinear breathing transmission epidemic system using the proposed stochastic scale conjugate gradient neural networks (SCGGNNs) procedure. The mathematical model categorizes the breathing transmission epidemic model into four dynamics based on a nonlinear stiff ordinary differential system: susceptible, exposed, infected, and recovered. Three different cases of the model are taken and numerically presented by applying the stochastic SCGGNNs. An activation function ‘log-sigmoid’ uses twenty neurons in the hidden layers. The precision of SCGGNNs is obtained by comparing the proposed and database solutions. While the negligible absolute error is performed around 10–06 to 10–07, it enhances the accuracy of the scheme. The obtained results of the breathing transmission epidemic system have been provided using the training, verification, and testing procedures to reduce the mean square error. Moreover, the exactness and capability of the stochastic SCGGNNs are approved through error histograms, regression values, correlation tests, and state transitions.

Recent advancements in natural language processing (NLP) have catalyzed the development of models capable of generating coherent and contextually relevant responses. Such models are applied across a diverse array of applications, including but not limited to chatbots, expert systems, question-and-answer robots, and language translation systems. Large Language Models (LLMs), exemplified by OpenAI’s Generative Pretrained Transformer (GPT), have significantly transformed the NLP landscape. They have introduced unparalleled abilities in generating text that is not only contextually appropriate but also semantically rich. This evolution underscores a pivotal shift towards more sophisticated and intuitive language understanding and generation capabilities within the field. Models based on GPT are developed through extensive training on vast datasets, enabling them to grasp patterns akin to human writing styles and deliver insightful responses to intricate questions. These models excel in condensing text, extending incomplete passages, crafting imaginative narratives, and emulating conversational exchanges. However, GPT LLMs are not without their challenges, including ethical dilemmas and the propensity for disseminating misinformation. Additionally, the deployment of these models at a practical scale necessitates a substantial investment in training and computational resources, leading to concerns regarding their sustainability. ChatGPT, a variant rooted in transformer-based architectures, leverages a self-attention mechanism for data sequences and a reinforcement learning-based human feedback (RLHF) system. This enables the model to grasp long-range dependencies, facilitating the generation of contextually appropriate outputs. Despite ChatGPT marking a significant leap forward in NLP technology, there remains a lack of comprehensive discourse on its architecture, efficacy, and inherent constraints. Therefore, this survey aims to elucidate the ChatGPT model, offering an in-depth exploration of its foundational structure and operational efficacy. We meticulously examine Chat-GPT’s architecture and training methodology, alongside a critical analysis of its capabilities in language generation. Our investigation reveals ChatGPT’s remarkable aptitude for producing text indistinguishable from human writing, whilst also acknowledging its limitations and susceptibilities to bias. This analysis is intended to provide a clearer understanding of ChatGPT, fostering a nuanced appreciation of its contributions and challenges within the broader NLP field. We also explore the ethical and societal implications of this technology, and discuss the future of NLP and AI. Our study provides valuable insights into the inner workings of ChatGPT, and helps to shed light on the potential of LLMs for shaping the future of technology and society. The approach used as Eco-GPT, with a three-level cascade (GPT-J, J1-G, GPT-4), achieves 73% and 60% cost savings in CaseHold and CoQA datasets, outperforming GPT-4.

Swarm Intelligence (SI) has proven to be useful in solving issues that are difficult to solve using traditional mathematical methodologies by using a collective behavior of a decentralized or self-organized system. SI-based optimization algorithms use a collaborative trial-and-error process to identify a solution. The development of various efficient swarm optimization methods is largely due to the peer-to-peer learning behavior of social colonies. SI is deeply engaged in the realm of IoT (Internet of Things) and IoT-based systems to control the operations logically. The mounting complexity of IoT devices’ infrastructure framework and continuous communication is lifting undesirable weaknesses with scalability, efficiency, safety, and real-time responses. These vulnerabilities give rise to privacy and security concerns, allowing attackers to potentially exploit them. Intrusion Detection System (IDS) has become a vital aspect of network security for implementing security in IoT devices. So, IDS with SI-supported decentralized algorithms are employed to overcome such difficulties. Since its conception, considerable research has been done to improve the SI-based optimization algorithm’s efficiency and adapt it to various issues. This paper provides an overview of SI advances for IoT-based IDS, applications, comparative performance, and research opportunities in the future for normalizing the IoT processes. The present study delves into the technical aspects of implementing feature selection and parameter tuning within the context of SI. Furthermore, it conducts a comprehensive analysis of SI approaches in the realm of IoT, particularly in conjunction with IDS.

The demand for timely diagnosis has prompted the development of automated solutions due to the scarcity of specialists. In this paper, we introduce a ground-breaking approach to diabetic retinopathy detection – the Diabetic Retinopathy Residual Network (DR-ResNet +). The proposed model leverages the power of deep learning to automatically extract features, achieving optimal results in just seven training epochs. The DR-ResNet + architecture is meticulously designed by incorporating a series of convolutional, pooling, and fully connected layers. Hyperparameter optimization is done using both grid and random search techniques to ensure peak performance. To validate the proposed model’s robustness, simulated results are compared with well-established deep learning models, such as GoogleNet, VGG16, and AlexNet, using a comprehensive Kaggle dataset comprising over 35,000 retinal images. Moreover, the proposed model is also tested on external datasets like MESSIDOR and IDRiD for its validation. Simulation results reveal that the proposed DR-ResNet + model not only reduces training time by an impressive 95% but also exhibits outstanding performance metrics, including an accuracy of 0.9898, specificity of 0.9916, precision of 0.9670, sensitivity of 0.9829, and an F1-score of 0.9748. These findings position the proposed model as exceptionally well-suited for real-time clinical applications, offering a potential game-changer in diabetic retinopathy diagnosis. This paper presents DR-ResNet + as a pioneering advancement in diabetic retinopathy diagnosis. With its rapid training, superior accuracy, and significant real-world implications, the model holds promise for transforming the landscape of healthcare by providing timely and precise diagnoses for this critical condition.

The fractional derivatives are used for the precise outcomes of the fractional SDM. The preliminary fractional SDM is categorized as: uninfected, infected with schistosomiasis, recovered through infection, expose and susceptible to this virus. The accurateness of the SNNs-SCG is performed to solve three different scenarios based on the fractional SDM with synthetic data obtained with fractional Adams scheme (FAS). The generated data of FAS is used to execute SNNs-SCG scheme with 81% for training samples, 12% for testing and 7% for validation or authorization. The correctness of SNNs-SCG approach is perceived by the comparison with reference FAS results. The performances based on the error histograms (EHs), absolute error, MSE, regression, state transitions (STs) and correlation accomplish the accuracy, competence, and finesse of the SNNs-SCG scheme.

The significance of community structure in complex networks, such as social, biological, and online networks, has been widely recognized. Detecting communities in social media networks typically relies on two sources of information: the network’s topological structure and node attributes. Incorporating rich node content attribute information poses both flexibility and challenges for community detection. Traditional approaches either focus on mining one information source or linearly combining results from both sources, which fails to effectively fuse the information. This paper introduces a practical collaborative learning approach that explores the multi-dimensional attribute characteristics of nodes to facilitate community division. By leveraging graphical matrix decomposition, the proposed algorithm, CDGMF, improves the effectiveness and robustness of community detection. Experimental results demonstrate the method’s ability to effectively utilize node attribute information for guiding community detection, resulting in higher-quality community divisions.

For more than a quarter of a century, microwave engineers have had the benefit of a foundation of mutually interacting components of measurement, modeling, and simulation to design and test linear components and systems. S-parameters are perhaps the most successful behavioral models ever. They have the powerful property that the S-parameters of individual components are sufficient to determine the S-parameters of any combination of those components. S-parameters of a component are sufficient to predict its response to any signal, provided only that the signal is of sufficiently small amplitude. We have presented the PHD modeling approach. It is a black-box frequency-domain model that provides a foundation for measurement, modeling, and simulation of driven nonlinear systems. The PHD model is very accurate for a wide variety of nonlinear characteristics, including compression, AM-PM, harmonics, load-pull, and time-domain waveforms. The PHD model faithfully represents driven nonlinear systems with mismatches at both the fundamental and harmonics. This enables the accurate simulation of distortion through cascaded chains of nonlinear components, thus providing key new design verification capabilities for RF and microwave modules and subsystems

The nodal method has been widely used for formulating circuit equations in computer-aided network analysis and design programs. However, several limitations exist in this method including the inability to process voltage sources and current-dependent circuit elements in a simple and efficient manner. A modified nodal analysis (MNA) method is proposed here which retains the simplicity and other advantages of nodal analysis while removing its limitations. A simple and effective pivoting scheme is also given. Numerical examples are used to compare the MNA method with the tableau method. Favorable results are observed for the MNA method in terms of the dimension, number of nonzeros, and fill-ins for comparable circuit matrices.

The harmonic balance technique from nonlinear simulation is extended to nonlinear adjoint sensitivity analysis. This provides an efficient tool for the otherwise expensive but essential gradient calculations in design optimization. The hierarchical approach widely used for circuit simulation, is generalized to sensitivity analysis and to computing responses in any subnetwork at any level of the hierarchy. Important aspects of frequency-domain circuit computer-aided design (CAD) such as simulation and sensitivity analysis, linear and nonlinear circuits, hierarchical and nonhierarchical approaches, voltage and current excitations, or open- and short-circuit terminations are unified in this general framework. The theory provides a basis for the next generation of microwave CAD software. It takes advantage of mature techniques such as syntax-oriented hierarchical analysis, optimization, and yield-driven design to handle nonlinear as well as linear circuits. The sensitivity analysis approach has been verified by a MESFET mixer example, exhibiting a 90% saving of CPU time over the prevailing perturbation method

Sensitivity analysis is a critically important aspect in the simulation of integrated circuits. It allows the designer to perform vital tasks such as circuit optimization and design space exploration. Recently, an efficient moments-based approach was presented for computing key distortion figures of merit in radio frequency circuits from the harmonic balance equations, without the need to perform a harmonic balance simulation. In this paper, we show how the moments method can also be used to perform an efficient and accurate sensitivity analysis through the computation of the expansions of the moment vectors with respect to a circuit parameter, i.e., the multidimensional moments. We show that the sensitivities of key distortion figures of merit, including the 1 dB compression point and different intercept points, at all outputs in the circuit can be obtained with minimal additional computation cost to that of the original algorithm, thereby providing insight into the circuit performance.

Computing the steady-state response of large nonlinear circuits is becoming a key simulation requirement due to the rapid market growth of RF silicon integrated circuits. In this paper, we describe a nonlinear circuit reduction algorithm for finding the steady-state response. The proposed algorithm uses a congruent transformation-based technique to reduce the harmonic-balance equations into a much smaller set of equations. The main feature of the reduced circuit is that it shares with the original one a certain number of the derivatives with respect to the RF input power, steady-state analysis is then carried out on the reduced circuit instead of the original circuit
