Its core unit, the efficient depthwise aggregation, integrated the pooled-transpose attention and convolutional gated linear unit to enhance feature representations for tail-class samples.

High-Dimensional Multi-Objective Optimization Algorithm Based On Large Language Model Assistance, Yichao Ma, Jingxuan Wei

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: The increase in the dimension of objective functions in optimization problems makes it challenging to balance convergence and diversity in population-based algorithms, which is a key factor leading to performance degradation of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms. To address this issue, a dynamic switching mechanism assisted by a large language model is proposed. By continuously evaluating the changes in hypervolume and convergence metrics of the solution set, the search process is adaptively divided into three phases: convergence-oriented, diversity-oriented, and large language model-suggested phases, achieving precise allocation of computational resources. Furthermore, to mitigate the high computational cost of large language models in …

Modeling, Dynamical Analysis, And Lmplementation Of Switched Memristive Neural Networks, Zhuang Qu, Shaohua Zhang, Cong Wang, Hongli Zhang, Xinkai Li, Ping Ma

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: To simulate the dynamic functional switching of brain networks, a time-switched memristive Hopfield neural network (TSM-HNN) model is proposed. The model utilizes external time-sequential signals to control memristive synapses, allowing it to dynamically generate multi-scroll chaotic attractors of varying numbers and morphologies without altering the system's structure. This overcomes the limitation of traditional chaotic systems, which can typically only produce a single type of attractor. The model exhibits complex chaotic behavior, high sensitivity to initial conditions, and coexisting attractors. Its physical feasibility has been verified through PSPice circuit simulations.

Online Fine-Tuning Of Binocular Camera Extrinsic Parameters Based On Position-Iteration Dual Perception, Qian Long, Tuerhong Dilixiati, Qi Zheng, Lijun Shen

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: In long-term operation of binocular systems, small drifts in extrinsic parameters may occur due to temperature changes, vibration, and mechanical shocks. As these drifts accumulate, the ranging error increases with distance and seriously degrades long-range measurement performance. Because online compensation is difficult, such small drifts are often neglected. To address this problem, an online fine-tuning method based on position-iteration dual perception is proposed. A multiplicative coupling weighting model is established by integrating spatial reliability with an iteration-stage modulation function. A three-stage progressive optimization algorithm is designed to balance convergence speed and robustness. A simulation framework for offline calibration and …

Review Of Evaluation Metrics For The Credibility Of Autonomous Driving Test Scenarios, Jiwei Li, Runmin Wang, Yu Zhu, Jingjun Cheng, Xiangmo Zhao

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: Currently, scenario-based simulation testing has become a core technical approach for verifying autonomous driving system functionality. However, due to the absence of unified evaluation standards for simulation scenarios, significant differences exist among the metrics constructed and adopted by different studies, each with its own limitations. This hinders mutual recognition of research outcomes and prevents scientific measurement of scenario quality. This study systematically reviews relevant research from the past five years, categorizing autonomous driving test scenarios into four types: parameter-descriptive, trajectory-driven, environment-simulation, and perception-data-driven. It clarifies the core characteristics, application objectives, and generation mechanisms of each scenario type. Subsequently, focusing …

Neutrosophic Indeterminacy-Transport Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks For Structured Uncertainty, Hafiz Muhammd Bilal, Kiran Naz, Anjum Ijaz

Neutrosophic Systems with Applications

Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) replace fixed node activations with learnable univariate edge functions, but standard KAN inference treats two equal-valued features identically even when one is accompanied by an explicit quality warning. NIT-KAN introduces a neutrosophic indeterminacy-transport mechanism for this setting. Each node carries an indeterminacy state in [0, 1]; a monotone gate g(I)=⁽1-I)^α attenuates uncertain evidence on the predictive path, while a sensitivity-weighted transport rule carries indeterminacy through the underlying KAN computation. A terminal audit maps signed evidence to truth-support, falsity-support, and conflict-augmented indeterminacy without interpreting these quantities as class probabilities. We …

Neutrokoopman: Channel-Preserving Koopman Spectral Analysis Of Nonlinear Dynamics With Truth, Indeterminacy, And Falsity Evidence, Ahmed Samy, Mohamed M. Abdelhafeez, K Venkatachalam, Mohamed Abouhawwash

Neutrosophic Systems with Applications

Modern dynamical systems increasingly operate with evidence that is not merely noisy but incomplete, contradictory, or only partially trustworthy. Conventional Koopman methods represent nonlinear dynamics through linear evolution of observables, while robust and adaptive variants address parameter and model uncertainty. They do not, however, preserve the semantic distinction between support, indeterminacy, and counter-support when those conditions are compressed into a single uncertainty variable. This paper develops NeutroKoopman, a channel-preserving Koopman framework in which the physical state is augmented by a single-valued neutrosophic evidence state ν_t = ( T_t,I_t,F_t ). Deterministic and Markovian formulations are …

Karbala International Journal of Modern Science

The present study was carried out for six months to detect the presence of some important chemical contaminants (bromate, nitrate, chloroform, and ammonium) in the drinking water of Baghdad at ten sampling sites. The study suggested the use of orange peel powder (OPP) as a cheap and eco-friendly biosorbent. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to confirm the amorphous nature, surface and structural characteristics of OPP. Further, SEM investigation also showed very microporous surface. FTIR (Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy) analysis confirmed the presence of active carboxyl (-COOH) and hydroxyl (-OH) binding sites. Baseline studies show that the levels of nitrate and …

Ai In Higher Education: Some Notes From The Front, Debra Rienstra

University Faculty Publications and Creative Works

We’re four weeks into the semester now. This past summer, our university unveiled a campus-wide AI policy that exhorts students and faculty to use discernment and tries to lay out some rules about security. Meanwhile, we have purchased a campus-wide subscription to an AI aggregator tool now available to all students, faculty, and staff (in part, from what I understand, as an attempt to effect some boundaries). And then, in the news, all this hand-wringing over the end of humanity, etc., on the one hand and techno-utopian promises on the other.
