Sebti R, Zroug S, KAHLOUL L, BENHARZALLAH S. A deep learning approach for the diabetic retinopathy detection. The Proceedings of the International Conference on Smart City Applications [Internet]. 2021 :459-469. Publisher's VersionAbstract
Diabetic retinopathy is a severe retinal disease that can blur or distort the vision of the patient. It is one of the leading causes of blindness. Early detection of diabetic retinopathy can significantly help in the treatment. The recent development in the field of AI and especially Deep learning provides ambitious solutions that can be exploited to predict, forecast and diagnose several diseases in their early phases. This work aims towards finding an automatic way to classify a given set of retina images in order to detect the diabetic retinopathy. Deep learning concepts have been used with a convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm to build a multi-classification model that can detect and classify disease levels automatically. In this study, a CNN architecture has been applied with several parameters on a dataset of diabetic retinopathy with different structures. At the current stage of this work, obtained results are highly encouraging.

Berghout T, Mouss L-H, Bentrcia T, Elbouchikhi E, Benbouzid M. A deep supervised learning approach for condition-based maintenance of naval propulsion systems. Ocean EngineeringOcean Engineering [Internet]. 2021;221 :108525. Publisher's VersionAbstract

In the last years, predictive maintenance has gained a central position in condition-based maintenance tasks planning. Machine learning approaches have been very successful in simplifying the construction of prognostic models for health assessment based on available historical labeled data issued from similar systems or specific physical models. However, if the collected samples suffer from lack of labels (small labeled dataset or not enough samples), the process of generalization of the learning model on the dataset as well as on the newly arrived samples (application) can be very difficult. In an attempt to overcome such drawbacks, a new deep supervised learning approach is introduced in this paper. The proposed approach aims at extracting and learning important patterns even from a small amount of data in order to produce more general health estimator. The algorithm is trained online based on local receptive field theories of extreme learning machines using data issued from a propulsion system simulator. Compared to extreme learning machine variants, the new algorithm shows a higher level of accuracy in terms of approximation and generalization under several training paradigms.

In: Electrical and Electronic Devices, Circuits, and Materials: Technological Challenges and SolutionsElectrical and Electronic Devices, Circuits, and Materials: Technological Challenges and Solutions. ; 2021. pp. 19-36. Publisher's VersionAbstract

This chapter focuses on double gate (DG) Tunneling Field Effect Transistor (TFET), having band engineering and high - k dielectrics. The basic structure of TFET device is derived and developed by p-i-n diode, containing two heavily doped degenerated semiconductor “p” and “n” regions and lightly doped intrinsic “i” region, respectively. The chapter explores the idea of high-k dielectric engineering as well as band engineering concept with DG -TFET. TFET is a type of field effect device in which current transport phenomena occur due to quantum tunneling between source and channel. The estimation of device characteristics and performance of TFET is time consuming and costly due to lack of rapid advancement in technology. TFET devices have become the most popular switching device among semiconductor players. The chapter summarizes the obtained results by popular device analysis technique, modeling and simulation of DG -TFET.

Alkebsi EAA, Ameddah H, OUTTAS T, Almutawakel A. Design of graded lattice structures in turbine blades using topology optimization. International Journal of Computer Integrated Manufacturing [Internet]. 2021;34 :370-384. Publisher's VersionAbstract

Designing and manufacturing lattice structures with Topology Optimization (TO) and Additive Manufacturing (AM) techniques is a novel method to create light-weight components with promising potential and high design flexibility. This paper proposes a new design of lightweight-graded lattice structures to replace the internal solid volume of the turbine blade to increase its endurance of high thermal stresses effects. The microstructure design of unit cells in a 3D framework is conducted by using the lattice structure topology optimization (LSTO) technique. The role of the LSTO is to find an optimal density distribution of lattice structures in the design space under specific stress constraints and fill the inner solid part of the blade with graded lattice structures. The derived implicit surfaces modelling is used from a triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) to optimize the mechanical performances of lattice structures. Numerical results show the validity of the proposed method. The effectiveness and robustness of the constructed models are analysed by using finite element analysis. The simulation results show that the graded lattice structures in the improved designs have better efficiency in terms of lightweight (33.41–40.32%), stress (25.52–48.55%) and deformation (7.35–19.58%) compared to the initial design.

In this paper, we present a new technique for constructing a nonstationary wavelet. The key idea relies on the following: for each wavelet level, we solve the Bezout’s equation and we propose a positive solution over the interval [–1, 1]. Using the Bernstein’s polynomials we approximate this proposed positive solution with the intention to perform a spectral factorization.

Optical burst switching (OBS) has become one of the best and widely used optical networking techniques. It offers more efficient bandwidth usage than optical packet switching (OPS) and optical circuit switching (OCS).However, it undergoes more attacks than other techniques and the Classical security approach cannot solve its security problem. Therefore, a new security approach based on machine learning and cloud computing is proposed in this article. We used the Google Colab platform to apply Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Extreme Learning Machine (ELM)to Burst Header Packet (BHP) flooding attack on Optical Burst Switching (OBS) Network Data Set.
