Electronic nose (E-nose) systems have a good effect on the identification of distinct odours. However, the properties of chemical gas sensors indicate that ageing, poisoning, fluctuation of environmental conditions (moisture, temperature, etc.) and a lack of fabrication repeatability, etc. have a large impact on the sensitivity and accuracy of sensors, which leads to sensor data drift. Although previous studies have indicated the feasibility and validity of deep learning in drift compensation of gas sensor data, the actual performances of these deep learning models are less impressive compared with some existing methods. Thus, we intend to further explore a novel deep learning model for drift compensation for E-noses. In this paper, we investigate the drift compensation effect of E-nose data based on a deep belief network (DBN) and constructed a Gaussian deep belief classification network (GDBCN) model by cascading a Gaussian-Bernoulli restricted Boltzmann machines based DBN with a softmax classifier layer to compensate for sensor drift at the decision level. The merits of our method are as follows: 1) it is a unified classification model for drift auto-compensation at the decision level rather than a feature extractor; 2) it couples unsupervised and supervised techniques by modelling the intrinsic distribution of the data from different domains in an unsupervised manner and fine-tunes the model parameters by leveraging the label information of the source domain; 3) the supervised fine-tuning process for the coupled GDBCN model fits well with the nature of the supervised task and guarantees that the parameters of the DBN will be useful for classification; 4) the GDBCN model is a classification model and thus automatically compensates for drift without manually setting specific model rules for domain alignment before classification. Experimental results on real sensor datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority compared with several existing control methods.
Network slicing, as a key technique of 5G, provides a way that network operators can segment multiple virtual logic on the same physical network and each customer can order specific slicing which can meet his requirement of 5G service. The service level agreement of network slicing (NS-SLA) of 5G, as a business agreement signed between the network operators and the customers, specifies the relevant requirements for the 5G services provided by the network operators. However, the authenticity of auditing results may not be guaranteed and the customer’s data may be leaked in the existing NS-SLA audit scheme. In this paper, a blockchain-based 5G network slicing NS-SLA audit model is proposed to address the above problems. The blockchain is applied as a public platform and all the dual monitored service parameters will be stored on the blockchain to ensure the authenticity of data. A trapdoor order-revealing encryption algorithm is introduced to audit strategy, which can encrypt the monitored parameters, realize the comparison over ciphertexts and prevent the privacy of data from leaking. Besides, an NS-SLA audit smart contract is designed to implement the audit task and execute corresponding punishment strategies automatically. We make experiments to exam the cost of the blockchain-based system and the results found clear support for the feasibility of the proposed model.
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.
