—Orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulation, combined with massive multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) technology, offers robust performance in high-mobility environments and high-user densities by capturing the full diversity of the wireless channel and effectively utilizing spatial multiplexing. This article introduces an adaptive block sparse backtracking (ABSB) algorithm designed to enhance channel estimation in OTFS with massive MIMO (massive MIMO-OTFS) systems. The proposed ABSB algorithm features dynamic block size adjustment based on the residual signal, improving its adaptability to the varying sparsity structure of the channel. Additionally, the algorithm extends the selection range of related block atoms to increase redundancy, reducing the risk of underfitting. Comprehensive simulation results demonstrate that the ABSB algorithm significantly outperforms traditional pilot-based methods in terms of channel estimation accuracy. It also surpasses the block orthogonal matching pursuit (BOMP) method as well as other classical compressed sensing methods. Specifically, the ABSB algorithm achieves up to a 20% reduction in estimation error compared to some of these traditional methods. The enhanced adaptability and robustness of the ABSB algorithm make it a promising solution for channel estimation in massive MIMO-OTFS systems, paving the way for more reliable and efficient next-generation wireless communications.

<jats:p> This work compares the performance of different algorithms — quantum Fourier transform, Gaussian–Newton method, hyperfast, metropolis-adjusted Langevin algorithm, and nonparametric classification and regression trees — for the classification of fetal health states from FHR signals. In the conducted research, the effectiveness of each algorithm was measured using confusion matrices, which gave information about class precision, recall, and total accuracy in three classes: Normal, Suspect, and Pathological. The QFT algorithm gives an overall accuracy of 90%, where it is highly reliable in recognizing Normal (94% F1-score) and Pathological states (91% F1-score), but performs poorly regarding the Suspect cases, at 58% F1-score. On the other hand, using the GNM method gives an accuracy of 88%, whereby it performed well on Normal cases, at 93% F1-score, and poor performance with Suspect, at 50% F1-score, and Pathological classifications, at 82% F1-score. The hyperfast algorithm yielded an accuracy of 89%, thus performing well on Normal classifications with an F1-score of 93%, but less well on the Suspect states with an F1-score of 56%. The MALA algorithm outperformed all other algorithms tested in this study, giving an overall accuracy of 91% and adequately classifying Normal, Suspect, and Pathological states with corresponding F1-scores of 94%, 63%, and 90%, respectively; therefore, the algorithm is quite robust and reliable for fetal health monitoring. The NCART algorithm achieved an accuracy of 89%, thus showing great capability for classification in Normal cases with 94% F1-score and in Pathological cases with 88% F1-score; this is moderate for Suspect cases with 53% F1-score. Overall, while all algorithms exhibit potential for fetal health classification, MALA stands out as the most effective, offering reliable classification across all health states. These findings highlight the need for further refinement, particularly in enhancing the detection of Suspect conditions, to ensure comprehensive and accurate fetal health monitoring. </jats:p>

Accurate classification of brain tumors from MRI is critical for effective diagnosis and treatment. In this study, we introduce Trans-EffNet, a hybrid model combining pre-trained EfficientNet architectures with a transformer encoder to enhance brain tumor classification accuracy. By leveraging EfficientNet's deep CNN capabilities for localized feature extraction and the transformer encoder for capturing global contextual relationships, our model improves the identification of intricate tumor characteristics. Fine-tuned with ImageNet-derived weights and utilizing extensive data augmentation, Trans-EffNet was validated on both multi-class and binary datasets. Trans-EffNetB1 achieved 99.49 % accuracy on the multi-class dataset, while Trans-EffNetB2 recorded 99.83 % accuracy on the binary dataset, with perfect precision, recall, and F1-Score. These results underscore Trans-EffNet's robustness and potential as a significant advancement in brain tumor detection and classification.

Text classification is an important topic in natural language processing, with the development of social network, many question-and-answer pairs regarding health-care and medicine flood social platforms. It is of great social value to mine and classify medical text and provide targeted medical services for patients. The existing algorithms of text classification can deal with simple semantic text, especially in the field of Chinese medical text, the text structure is complex and includes a large number of medical nomenclature and professional terms, which are difficult for patients to understand. We propose a Chinese medical text classification model using a BERT-based Chinese text encoder by N-gram representations (ZEN) and capsule network, which represent feature uses the ZEN model and extract the features by capsule network, we also design a N-gram medical dictionary to enhance medical text representation and feature extraction. The experimental results show that the precision, recall and F1-score of our model are improved by 10.25%, 11.13% and 12.29%, respectively, compared with the baseline models in average, which proves that our model has better performance.

The number of tourist attractions reviews, travel notes and other texts has grown exponentially in the Internet age. Effectively mining users’ potential opinions and emotions on tourist attractions, and helping to provide users with better recommendation services, which is of great practical significance. This paper proposes a multi-channel neural network model called Pre-BiLSTM combined with a pre-training mechanism. The model uses a combination of coarse and fine- granularity strategies to extract the features of text information such as reviews and travel notes to improve the performance of text sentiment analysis. First, we construct three channels and use the improved BERT and skip-gram methods with negative sampling to vectorize the word-level and vocabulary-level text, respectively, so as to obtain more abundant textual information. Second, we use the pre-training mechanism of BERT to generate deep bidirectional language representation relationships. Third, the vectors of the three channels are input into the BiLSTM network in parallel to extract global and local features. Finally, the model fuses the text features of the three channels and classifies them using SoftMax classifier. Furthermore, numerical experiments are conducted to demonstrate that Pre-BiLSTM outperforms the baselines by 6.27%, 12.83% and 18.12% in average in terms of accuracy, precision and F1-score.

Convolutional neural network (CNN) model based on deep learning has excellent performance for target detection. However, the detection effect is poor when the object is circular or tubular because most of the existing object detection methods are based on the traditional rectangular box to detect and recognize objects. To solve the problem, we propose the circular representation structure and RepVGG module on the basis of CenterNet and expand the network prediction structure, thus proposing a high-precision and high-efficiency lightweight circular object detection method RebarDet. Specifically, circular tubular type objects will be optimized by replacing the traditional rectangular box with a circular box. Second, we improve the resolution of the network feature map and the upper limit of the number of objects detected in a single detect to achieve the expansion of the network prediction structure, optimized for the dense phenomenon that often occurs in circular tubular objects. Finally, the multibranch topology of RepVGG is introduced to sum the feature information extracted by different convolution modules, which improves the ability of the convolution module to extract information. We conducted extensive experiments on rebar datasets and used AB-Score as a new evaluation method to evaluate RebarDet. The experimental results show that RebarDet can achieve a detection accuracy of up to 0.8114 and a model inference speed of 6.9 fps while maintaining a moderate amount of parameters, which is superior to other mainstream object detection models and verifies the effectiveness of our proposed method. At the same time, RebarDet’s high precision detection of round tubular objects facilitates enterprise intelligent manufacturing processes.

Mining the sentiment of the user on the internet via the context plays a significant role in uncovering the human emotion and in determining the exactness of the underlying emotion in the context. An increasingly enormous number of user-generated content (UGC) in social media and online travel platforms lead to development of data-driven sentiment analysis (SA), and most extant SA in the domain of tourism is conducted using document-based SA (DBSA). However, DBSA cannot be used to examine what specific aspects need to be improved or disclose the unknown dimensions that affect the overall sentiment like aspect-based SA (ABSA). ABSA requires accurate identification of the aspects and sentiment orientation in the UGC. In this book chapter, we illustrate the contribution of data mining based on deep learning in sentiment and emotion detection.

Objective. As the preclinical stage of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is characterized by hidden onset, which is difficult to detect early. Traditional neuropsychological scales are main tools used for assessing MCI. However, due to its strong subjectivity and the influence of many factors such as subjects’ educational background, language and hearing ability, and time cost, its accuracy as the standard of early screening is low. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to propose a new key technology of fast digital early warning for MCI based on eye movement objective data analysis. Methodology. Firstly, four exploratory indexes (test durations, correlation degree, lengths of gaze trajectory, and drift rate) of MCI early warning are determined based on the relevant literature research and semistructured expert interview; secondly, the eye movement state is captured based on the eye tracker to realize the data extraction of four exploratory indexes. On this basis, the human-computer interactive 2.5-minute fast digital early warning paradigm for MCI is designed; thirdly, the rationality of the four early warning indexes proposed in this paper and their early warning effectiveness on MCI are verified. Results. Through the small sample test of human-computer interactive 2.5 fast digital early warning paradigm for MCI conducted by 32 elderly people aged 70–90 in a medical institution in Hangzhou, the two indexes of “correlation degree” and “drift rate” with statistical differences are selected. The experiment results show that AUC of this MCI early warning paradigm is 0.824. Conclusion. The key technology of human-computer interactive 2.5 fast digital early warning for MCI proposed in this paper overcomes the limitations of the existing MCI early warning tools, such as low objectification level, high dependence on professional doctors, long test time, requiring high educational level, and so on. The experiment results show that the early warning technology, as a new generation of objective and effective digital early warning tool, can realize 2.5-minute fast and high-precision preliminary screening and early warning for MCI in the elderly.

With the fifth generation (5G) communication technology, the mobile multiuser networks have developed rapidly. In this paper, the performance analysis of mobile multiuser networks which utilize decode-and-forward (DF) relaying is considered. We derive novel outage probability (OP) expressions. To improve the OP performance, we study the power allocation optimization problem. To solve the optimization problem, we propose an intelligent power allocation optimization algorithm based on grey wolf optimization (GWO). We compare the proposed GWO approach with three existing algorithms. The experimental results reveal that the proposed GWO algorithm can achieve a smaller OP, thus improving system efficiency. Also, compared with other channel models, the OP values of the 2-Rayleigh model are increased by 81.2% and 66.6%, respectively.

Classification of electroencephalogram (EEG) is a key approach to measure the rhythmic oscillations of neural activity, which is one of the core technologies of brain-computer interface systems (BCIs). However, extraction of the features from non-linear and non-stationary EEG signals is still a challenging task in current algorithms. With the development of artificial intelligence, various advanced algorithms have been proposed for signal classification in recent years. Among them, deep neural networks (DNNs) have become the most attractive type of method due to their end-to-end structure and powerful ability of automatic feature extraction. However, it is difficult to collect large-scale datasets in practical applications of BCIs, which may lead to overfitting or weak generalizability of the classifier. To address these issues, a promising technique has been proposed to improve the performance of the decoding model based on data augmentation (DA). In this article, we investigate recent studies and development of various DA strategies for EEG classification based on DNNs. The review consists of three parts: what kind of paradigms of EEG-based on BCIs are used, what types of DA methods are adopted to improve the DNN models, and what kind of accuracy can be obtained. Our survey summarizes the current practices and performance outcomes that aim to promote or guide the deployment of DA to EEG classification in future research and development.

To solve the problem of one-sided pursuit of the shortest distance but ignoring the tourist experience in the process of tourism route planning, an improved ant colony optimization algorithm is proposed for tourism route planning. Contextual information of scenic spots significantly effect people’s choice of tourism destination, so the pheromone update strategy is combined with the contextual information such as weather and comfort degree of the scenic spot in the process of searching the global optimal route, so that the pheromone update tends to the path suitable for tourists. At the same time, in order to avoid falling into local optimization, the sub-path support degree is introduced. The experimental results show that the optimized tourism route has greatly improved the tourist experience, the route distance is shortened by 20.5% and the convergence speed is increased by 21.2% compared with the basic algorithm, which proves that the improved algorithm is notably effective.
