Machine learning models based on sensitive data in the real-world promise advances in areas ranging from medical screening to disease outbreaks, agriculture, industry, defense science, and more. In many applications, learning participant communication rounds benefit from collecting their own private data sets, teaching detailed machine learning models on the real data, and sharing the benefits of using these models. Due to existing privacy and security concerns, most people avoid sensitive data sharing for training. Without each user demonstrating their local data to a central server, Federated Learning allows various parties to train a machine learning algorithm on their shared data jointly. This method of collective privacy learning results in the expense of important communication during training. Most large-scale machine learning applications require decentralized learning based on data sets generated on various devices and places. Such datasets represent an essential obstacle to decentralized learning, as their diverse contexts contribute to significant differences in the delivery of data across devices and locations. Researchers have proposed several ways to achieve data privacy in Federated Learning systems. However, there are still challenges with homogeneous local data. This research's approach is to select nodes (users) to share their data in Federated Learning for independent data-based equilibrium to improve accuracy, reduce training time, and increase convergence. Therefore, this research presents a combined Deep-Q-Reinforcement Learning Ensemble based on Spectral Clustering called DQRE-SCnet to choose a subset of devices in each communication round. Based on the results, it has been displayed that it is possible to decrease the number of communication rounds needed in Federated Learning. The realized reduction in the communication rounds are 51%, 25%, and 44% on the three datasets MNIST, Fashion MNIST, and CIFAR-10, respectively.
The backscatter signal analysis, as the landmine material could vary, has to be as much advanced as possible. One major problem with the conventional methods is that they are not able to detect new plastic landmines. In the recent research, the classification techniques and neural networks (NNs) were exploited for detection. In NNs-based method, a network is trained based on the feature extracted from the data, which leads to landmine detection. Other conventional classification methods, attempts to classify the objects sharing common characteristics. In this letter, an algorithm is introduced based on classification, data reduction and neural networks. Indeed, this algorithm employs neural network and classification method, simultaneously. The simple methods using either neural network or classification separately usually suffer from high rate of risk. In this letter, a novel classifier is proposed such that the data is classified based on similarity. It will be shown that the similarity between signals in a class is more than 90%, which proves the method's efficiency. Moreover, the scattering parameter, having magnitude and phase parts, is used to create an algorithm with parallel process.
The world’s electricity generation has increased with renewable energy technologies such as solar (solar power plant), wind energy (wind turbines), heat energy, and even ocean waves. Iran is in the best condition to receive solar radiation due to its proximity to the equator (25.2969° N). In 2020, Iran was able to supply only 900 MW (about 480 solar power plants and 420 MW home solar power plants) of its electricity demand from solar energy, which is very low compared to the global average. Yazd, Fars, and Kerman provinces are in the top ranks of Iran, with the production of approximately 68, 58, and 47 MW using solar energy, respectively. Iran also has a large area of vacant land for the construction of solar power plants. In this article, the amount of electricity generation using solar energy in Iran is studied. In addition, the construction of a 10 MW power plant in the city of Sirjan is economically and technically analyzed. The results show that with US$16.14 million, a solar power plant can be built in the Sirjan region, and the initial capital will be returned in about four years. The results obtained using Homer software show that the highest maximum power generation is in July.
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a type of dementia that affects the elderly population. A machine learning (ML) system has been trained to recognize particular patterns to diagnose AD using an algorithm in an ML system. As a result, developing a feature extraction approach is critical for reducing calculation time. The input image in this article is a Two-Dimensional Discrete Wavelet (2D-DWT). The Time-Dependent Power Spectrum Descriptors (TD-PSD) model is used to represent the subbanded wavelet coefficients. The principal property vector is made up of the characteristics of the TD-PSD model. Based on classification algorithms, the collected characteristics are applied independently to present AD classifications. The categorization is used to determine the kind of tumor. The TD-PSD method was used to extract wavelet subbands features from three sets of test samples: moderate cognitive impairment (MCI), AD, and healthy controls (HC). The outcomes of three modes of classic classification methods, including KNN, SVM, Decision Tree, and LDA approaches, are documented, as well as the final feature employed in each. Finally, we show the CNN architecture for AD patient classification. Output assessment is used to show the results. Other techniques are outperformed by the given CNN and DT.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
