This study is significant for several reasons. First, it provides a scalable and automated solution for detecting and analyzing advertisements within video content, which is typically labor-intensive when done manually. Second, it offers insights into the relationship between advertisements and video content, which can have profound implications for advertisers seeking to improve targeting strategies and for content creators aiming to optimize sponsored ad placements within their videos. Third, the research lays the groundwork for future advancements in content-based advertising, where the alignment between ad messaging and content themes can be refined using advanced natural language processing (NLP).
Machine Learning-based Active Power Loss Forecasting in Distribution Systems
This paper introduces an optimal model that utilizes machine learning algorithms to predict the
active power losses during the allocation and sizing of distributed generation (DG) units in power distribution networks. The model incorporates the technique of Gradient Boosting Machine Regression (GBMR). This study estimates DG location, bus voltages, DG size, and active
losses without conventional power flow calculations.
The results demonstrate that the suggested estimations of power losses and DG sizing method are effective, practical, and adaptable. The accuracy of the proposed estimation methods has been validated using R-squared and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) metrics. In the case of fixed load, the GBMR outperforms with a very low (MAPE) (0.9281%), a root mean square error (RMSE) of 1.748, and 0.999 accuracy in predicting
active power losses. When the normalized load variation (NLV), the R-squared 0.9991 value with low MAPE (1.9815%). This approach enables grid operators to effectively manage DG unit integration by providing precise estimates and forecasts of power loss. The effectiveness of the proposed strategy is validated in the IEEE 33 bus test system using MATLAB software.
A Novel Approach to Verification of Neural Cyber-physical Systems
The verification of Cyber-physical System (CPS),
particularly those incorporating neural networks for safety-critical
functions remains an ongoing challenge due to the lack
of advanced verification and validation frameworks. Current
methods are often limited in their scalability and ability to
comprehensively verify system-level and component-level properties,
leading to potential vulnerabilities in these systems. This
issue becomes even more pronounced when dealing with hybrid
systems that integrate physical processes and neural network-based
controllers [2]. We propose a novel verification framework
tailored for complete CPS verification using a decomposition-based
approach to address this challenge. Our method performs
sequential-distributed verification, ensuring each component
adheres to compositional Metric Interval Temporal Logic
(MITL). By applying this framework to a model (CPS), we use
backward induction to verify that component-level and system-level
properties remain within predefined operational ranges,
derived from simulation data. Implemented in MATLAB,
this approach enhances the verification process by identifying
potential failure points across subsystems, providing a scalable
solution for verifying complex hybrid systems. This method
significantly improves verification accuracy and enables precise
identification of faulty components, making it a highly effective
tool for robust system design and analysis.
