Recent advancements in non-destructive testing methodologies have significantly propelled the efficiency of bearing defect detection, vital for maintaining optimal final quality standards. This study introduces a novel approach, integrating an Optimized Continuous Wavelet Transform (OCWT) and a Non-Local Convolutional Block Attention Module (NCBAM), to elevate fault diagnosis in motor bearings. The OCWT, central to this methodology, undergoes fine-tuning through a newly formulated metaheuristic algorithm, the Skill Optimization Algorithm (SOA). This algorithm bifurcates into two critical components: the acquisition of expertise (exploration) and the enhancement of individual capabilities (exploitation). The NCBAM, proposed for classification, adeptly captures long-range dependencies across spatial and channel dimensions. Furthermore, the model employs a learning matrix, adept at synthesizing spatial, channel, and temporal data, thus effectively balancing diverse data contributions by extracting intricate interrelations. The model's efficacy is rigorously validated using a gearbox dataset and a motor bearing dataset. The outcomes reveal superior performance, with the model achieving an average accuracy of 94.17% on the bearing dataset and 95.77% on the gearbox dataset. These results demonstrably surpass those of existing alternatives, underscoring the model's potential in enhancing fault diagnosis accuracy in motor bearings.

In the field of computer vision and digital image processing, the division of images into meaningful segments is a pivotal task. This paper introduces an innovative global image segmentation model, distinguished for its ability to segment pixels with intensity inhomogeneity and robustly handle noise. The proposed model leverages a combination of randomness measurement and spatial techniques to accurately segment regions within and outside contours in challenging conditions. Its efficacy is demonstrated through rigorous testing with images from the Berkeley image database. The results significantly surpass existing methods, particularly in the context of noisy and intensity inhomogeneous images. The model's proficiency lies in its unique ability to differentiate between minute, yet crucial, details and outliers, thus enhancing the precision of global segmentation in complex scenarios. This advancement is particularly relevant for images plagued by unknown noise distributions, overcoming limitations such as the inadequate handling of convex images at local minima and the segmentation of images corrupted by additive and multiplicative noise. The model's design integrates a region-based active contour method, refined through the incorporation of a local similarity factor, level set method, partial differential equations, and entropy considerations. This approach not only addresses the technical challenges posed by image segmentation but also sets a new benchmark for accuracy and reliability in the field.

In this study, a novel methodology is proposed for ranking the knowledge economies of European Union (EU) countries, leveraging their positioning within the global knowledge index (GKI). The GKI, encompassing seven pivotal indicators, serves as a benchmark for assessing a nation's knowledge economy. The EU, a prominent political and economic conglomerate, forms the focal point of this analysis. A multi-criteria analysis approach is adopted, wherein the Entropy method is utilized to determine the significance of individual GKI indicators. Additionally, the CRADIS (Compromise Ranking of Alternatives from Distance to Ideal Solution) method is employed for the ranking of these nations. The Entropy method, renowned for its efficacy in subjective weight determination, and the CRADIS method, a novel multi-criteria analysis tool yielding results based on deviations from the ideal and anti-ideal solutions, are integrated. This integration is pivotal, as it offers results comparable with other multi-criteria methodologies. The analysis reveals that Research Development and Innovation emerges as the most critical indicator. According to the CRADIS method, Sweden is identified as the leading country in terms of GKI indicators, followed by Finland and Denmark. This trend underscores a superior performance of the northern EU countries. Conversely, Eastern EU countries are observed to lag in their GKI standings. These findings are corroborated through comparative and sensitivity analyses, highlighting the influence of normalization on country rankings and pinpointing specific indicators necessitating enhancement for bolstering the knowledge economy. This research not only aids EU countries in identifying their strengths and weaknesses in the realm of knowledge economy but also serves as a strategic guide for policymakers. It provides actionable insights for fostering knowledge economy development, emphasizing the need for strengthening existing advantages and addressing shortcomings. Such strategic initiatives are crucial for enhancing global market competitiveness. The study's outcomes, therefore, offer valuable resources for decision-making in policy and economic development contexts.

Twitter, a predominant platform for instantaneous communication and idea dissemination, is often exploited by cybercriminals for victim harassment through sexism, racism, hate speech, and trolling using pseudony-mous accounts. The propagation of racially charged online discourse poses significant threats to the social, political, and cultural fabric of many societies. Monitoring and prompt eradication of such content from social media, a breeding ground for racist ideologies, are imperative. This study introduces an advanced hybrid forecasting model, utilizing convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and long-short-term memory (LSTM) neural networks, for the efficient and accurate detection of racist and hate speech in English on Twitter. Unlabelled tweets, collated via the Twitter API, formed the basis of the initial investigation. Feature vectors were extracted from these tweets using the TF-IDF (Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency) feature extraction technique. This research contrasts the proposed model with existing intelligent classification algorithms in supervised learning. The HateMotiv corpus, a publicly available dataset annotated with types of hate crimes and ideological motivations, was employed, emphasizing Twitter as the primary social media context. A novel aspect of this study is the introduction of a revised artificial hummingbird algorithm (AHA), supplemented by quantum-based optimization (QBO). This quantum-based artificial hummingbird algorithm (QAHA) aims to augment exploration capabilities and reveal potential solution spaces. Employing QAHA resulted in a detection accuracy of approximately 98%, compared to 95.97% without its application. The study's principal contribution lies in the significant advancements achieved in the field of racism and hate speech detection in English through the application of hybrid deep learning methodologies.

The quest for heightened precision in fuzzy system predictions has culminated in the development of an innovative model that integrates a Fuzzy K-Clustering (FKC) algorithm with a fuzzy neural network (FNN). In this approach, the novel FKC algorithm, herein introduced, undertakes the clustering of sample data. Subsequently, the clustering outcomes inform the configuration of the FNN, specifically guiding the determination of node quantities across its layers and the initial network parameters. A distinctive hybrid learning algorithm, designated as the Conjugate Recursive Least Squares (CRLS), facilitates the optimization of network parameters via distinct methods tailored to parameter types. This model underwent empirical validation using 2-minute interval average wind speed data from surface meteorological stations in China. Analytical comparisons between model predictions and actual wind speed data revealed an average absolute error of 0.2764m/s, an average absolute percentage error of 2.33%, and a maximum error of 0.6035m/s. The findings substantiate the model's superior predictive capability. This study thus presents a significant advancement in fuzzy system prediction methodologies, underscoring the potential of the FKC and FNN in complex data analysis.

Fermatean fuzzy set (FRFS) is very helpful in representing vague information that occurs in real world circumstances. Their eminent characteristic of FRFS is that the degree of membership $\Im^{\ell}$ and degree of nonmembership $\beth^\gamma$ satisfy the condition $0 \leq \Im^{\ell^3}(x)+\Im^{\ell^3}(x) \leq 1$, so the space of vague information they can describe is broader. This study introduces the concept of generalized parameters into the FRFS framework and proposes a set of generalized Fermatean fuzzy average aggregation operators for the purpose of information aggregation. Subsequently, the operators are expanded to encompass a generalized parameter based on group consensus, which is derived from the perspectives of numerous experienced senior experts and observers. The present study offers a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methodology, which is demonstrated using a numerical example to successfully showcase the suggested technique. In conclusion, a comparative study is undertaken to validate the efficacy of the suggested technique in relation to existing methodologies.

Amidst a transformative economic milieu in China, domestic enterprises are venturing into the global market, exposing them to intensified perils in international trade and investment. This research elucidates the international trade and investment (ITI) context within China, establishing criteria for ITI risk evaluation through an analytical exploration of international trade interactions. A methodology has been developed to quantify ITI risk, employing deep neural networks (DNNs), with a particular focus on the potential impact of edge cloud computing on China's trading economy. Through the utilization of convolutional neural networks (CNN), risks in China's trade and investment are appraised across various dimensions, exhibiting a noteworthy accuracy rate of 90.38%. It is identified that while CNN exhibits exemplary performance in estimating severe and high-risk scenarios, its efficacy diminishes when discerning general investment perils. The analysis underscores that a substantial portion of investments, constituting 14.8%, emanates from The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and China, with market dynamics and macroeconomic conditions markedly influencing the risk associated with Chinese investments. By extending the utilization of deep learning (DL) in financial investments and integrating edge cloud computing, this investigation augments the capabilities for assessing China's ITI risk, providing a valuable resource for comprehending the ITI landscape within China.
