A multiobjective nonlinear combinatorial model for improved planning of tour visits using a novel binary gaining-sharing knowledge- based optimization algorithm

This chapter proposes a novel binary version of recently developed Gaining-Sharing knowledge-based optimization algorithm (GSK) to solve binary optimization problems. GSK algorithm is based on the concept of how humans acquire and share knowledge during their life span. Binary version of GSK named novel binary Gaining-Sharing knowledge-based optimization algorithm (BGSK) depends on mainly two binary stages: binary junior gaining sharing stage and binary senior gaining sharing stage with knowledge factor 1. These two stages enable BGSK for exploring and exploitation of the search space

Implementation of Multi-Step Bias-Flip Rectifier for Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting

The full-wave rectifier is an essential step for extracting energy from a piezoelectric source. Yet, the inherent capacitance of the piezoelement significantly is considered a limitation of the efficiency of extraction. To address this issue, the bias-flip rectifier can be used. However, this rectifier needs large inductor and precise tuning. The large inductor increases the overall volume of the system which is inefficient. This paper address the problems with the traditional bias-flip rectifier by introducing an enhanced multi-step bias-flip rectifier to achieve a high voltage-flip

Federated learning system on autonomous vehicles for lane segmentation

Autonomous Vehicles (AV) is one of the most evolving industries in the last decade. However, one of the bottlenecks of this evolution is providing data that contains different scenarios and scenes to improve the models without exposing the privacy and security of the edge vehicles. The authors of this research propose a secure and efficient novel solution for lane segmentation in AVs through the use of Federated Learning (FL). FedLane involves initial training of U-Net, ResUNet, and ResUNet++ models, followed by real-time inference in edge devices and the application of FL to update the server

Light-Weight Face Shape Classifier for Real-Time Applications

Deep neural networks (DNNs) are memory and computationally intensive; hence they are difficult to apply to real-time systems with limited resources. Therefore, the DNN models need to be carefully optimized. The solution was a model based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) called MobileNet that decreases the computational and space complexities with classification precision loss by utilizing depthwise separable convolutions. This study uses MobileNet vl architecture to improve image classification complexities to reach an acceptable complexity that can be used in real-time applications
