Gaussian Process Regression Total Nitrogen Prediction Based on Data Decomposition Technology and Several Intelligent Algorithms by WANG Yongshun, CUI Dongwen

“…Total nitrogen (TN) is one of the important indicators to reflect the degree of water pollution and measure the eutrophication status of lakes and reservoirs.To improve the accuracy of TN prediction,based on the empirical wavelet transform (EWT) and wavelet packet transform (WPT) decomposition technology,this paper proposes a Gaussian process regression (GPR) prediction model optimized by osprey optimization algorithm (OOA),rime optimization algorithm (ROA),bald eagle search (BES) and black widow optimization algorithm (BWOA) respectively.Firstly,the TN time series is decomposed into several more regular subsequence components by EWT and WPT respectively.Then,the paper briefly introduces the principles of OOA,ROA,BES,and BWOA algorithms and applies OOA,ROA,BES,and BWOA to optimize GPR hyperparameters.Finally,EWT-OOA-GPR,EWT-ROA-GPR,EWT-BES-GPR,EWT-BWOA-GPR,WPT-OOA-GPR,WPT-ROA-GPR,WPT-BES-GPR,WPT-BWOA-GPR models (EWT-OOA-GPR and other eight models for short) are established to predict the components of TN by the optimized super-parameters.The final prediction results are obtained after reconstruction,and WT-OOA-GPR,WT-ROA-GPR,WT-BES-GPR and WT-BWOA-GPR models based on wavelet transform (WT) are built.Eight models,including EWT-OOA-SVM based on support vector machine (SVM),the paper compares the unoptimized EWT-GPR,WPT-GPR models,and the uncomposed OOA-GPR,ROA-GPR,BES-GPR,and BWOA-GPR models.The models were verified by the monitoring TN concentration time series data of Mudihe Reservoir,an important drinking water source in China,from 2008 to 2022.The results are as follows.① The average absolute percentage error of eight models such as EWT-OOA-GPR for TN prediction is between 0.161% and 0.219%,and the coefficient of determination is 0.999 9,which is superior to other comparison models,with higher prediction accuracy and better generalization ability.② EWT takes into account the advantages of WT and EMD.WPT can decompose low-frequency and high-frequency signals at the same time.Both of them can decompose TN time series data into more regular modal components,significantly improving the accuracy of model prediction,and the decomposition effect is better than that of the WT method.③ OOA,ROA,BES,and BWOA can effectively optimize GPR hyperparameters and improve GPR prediction performance.…”

Detection for physical-layer network coding in two-way relay channels by Wei YAN, Yue-ming CAI, Cheng-kang PAN

“…The detection for physical-layer network coding (PNC) in two-way relay channels was investigated.Maximum-likelihood (ML) detection not only had great performance but also had high computational complexity.Therefore,without channel state information (CSI) at source nodes,two detection schemes were proposed.The first scheme was likelihood ratio(LR)detection based on LR function,and the other was maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) detection based on MAP rule.Meanwhile,It carried out similar analysis if CSI was available at source nodes.Compared to ML detection which separately detects two source messages,numerical and simulation results show that LR detection outperforms it in terms of BER metric with the requirement for additional noise variance information.And MAP detection is equivalent to ML detection,and it has lower computational complexity.…”

Gavrilo Stefanović Venclović’s Mač duhovni: The use of Turkish loanwords in translations of biblical quotations by Manojlović Sonja Đ.

“…The paper presents the Turkish loanwords used in biblical quotations in Venclović’s translation of Mech duhovniy (Mač duhovni, Sword of the Spirit). By comparing them with the source in Church Slavonic (of the Russian redaction), Turkish loanwords that are used as a direct translation of a Church Slavonic word (zejtin, krevet, misirski, hazina, haramija, hrsuzin, čak) were extracted, as well as those that change the translated real object (korkuluk, minđuša, tabandže), those that are part of more or less broader explications (adet, badava, bašča, dumen, durma, đubre, zanat, inatiti se, kavga, kadar, somun, tane) and those that appear both as a translation of a certain CSl. word and within an explication (ama, bak(a)rni). …”

Double adversarial attack against license plate recognition system by Xianyi CHEN, Jun GU, Kai YAN, Dong JIANG, Linfeng XU, Zhangjie FU

“…Recent studies have revealed that deep neural networks (DNN) used in artificial intelligence systems are highly vulnerable to adversarial sample-based attacks.To address this issue, a dual adversarial attack method was proposed for license plate recognition (LPR) systems in a DNN-based scenario.It was demonstrated that an adversarial patch added to the pattern location of the license plate can render the target detection subsystem of the LPR system unable to detect the license plate class.Additionally, the natural rust and stains were simulated by adding irregular single-connected area random points to the license plate image, which results in the misrecognition of the license plate number.or the license plate research, different shapes of adversarial patches and different colors of adversarial patches are designed as a way to generate adversarial license plates and migrate them to the physical world.Experimental results show that the designed adversarial samples are undetectable by the human eye and can deceive the license plate recognition system, such as EasyPR.The success rate of the attack in the physical world can reach 99%.The study sheds light on the vulnerability of deep learning and the adversarial attack of LPR, and offers a positive contribution toward improving the robustness of license plate recognition models.…”
