Regional population forecast and analysis is of essence to urban and regional planning, and a well-designed plan can effectively construct a sound national infrastructure and stabilize positive population growth. Traditionally, either urban or regional planning relies on the opinions of demographers in terms of how the population of a city or a region will grow. Multi-regional population forecast is currently possible, carried out mainly on the basis of the Interregional Cohort-Component model. While this model has its unique advantages, several demographic rates are determined based on the decisions made by primary planners. Hence, the only drawback for cohort-component type population forecasting is allowing the analyst to specify the demographic rates of the future, and it goes without saying that this tends to introduce a biased result in forecasting accuracy. To effectively avoid this problem, this work proposes a machine learning-based method to forecast multi-regional population growth objectively. Thus, this work, drawing upon the newly developed machine learning technology, attempts to analyze and forecast the population growth of major cities in Taiwan. By effectively using the advantage of the XGBoost algorithm, the evaluation of feature importance and the forecast of multi-regional population growth between the present and the near future can be observed objectively, and it can further provide an objective reference to the urban planning of regional population.

With economic growth, automobiles have become an irreplaceable means of transportation and travel. Tires are important parts of automobiles, and their wear causes a large number of traffic accidents. Therefore, predicting tire life has become one of the key factors determining vehicle safety. This paper presents a tire life prediction method based on image processing and machine learning. We first build an original image database as the initial sample. Since there are usually only a few sample image libraries in engineering practice, we propose a new image feature extraction and expression method that shows excellent performance for a small sample database. We extract the texture features of the tire image by using the gray-gradient co-occurrence matrix (GGCM) and the Gauss-Markov random field (GMRF), and classify the extracted features by using the K-nearest neighbor (KNN) classifier. We then conduct experiments and predict the wear life of automobile tires. The experimental results are estimated by using the mean average precision (MAP) and confusion matrix as evaluation criteria. Finally, we verify the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed method for predicting tire life. The obtained results are expected to be used for real-time prediction of tire life, thereby reducing tire-related traffic accidents.

This paper introduces a blockchain-based federated learning (FL) framework with incentives for participating nodes to enhance the accuracy of classification problems. Machine learning technology has been rapidly developed and changed from a global perspective for the past few years. The FL framework is based on the Ethereum blockchain and creates an autonomous ecosystem, where nodes compete to improve the accuracy of classification problems. With privacy being one of the biggest concerns, FL makes use of the blockchain-based approach to ensure privacy and security. Another important technology that underlies the FL framework is zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), which ensure that data uploaded to the network are accurate and private. Basically, ZKPs allow nodes to compete fairly by only submitting accurate models to the parameter server and get rewarded for that. We have conducted an analysis and found that ZKPs can help improve the accuracy of models submitted to the parameter server and facilitate the honest participation of all nodes in FL.

Internet Of Things Technology

With the continuous progress of society, the level of science and technology of the country has made a leap forward development, the research energy of various industries on new science and technology continues to deepen, greatly promoting the promotion of science and technology. At the same time, with the increase in social pressure, more and more people pursue spiritual relaxation, and appropriate leisure and entertainment activities have gradually become a part of people’s life. Film plays an irreplaceable role in leisure and entertainment. Mainly from the background of the development of the film industry towards intelligent direction, and then use machine learning technology to study the application of film animation production and film virtual assets analysis and investigation. Based on the Internet of things technology, we also vigorously develop the ways and methods of visual expression of movies, and at the same time introduce new expression modes to promote the expression effect of the intelligent system. Finally, by comparing various algorithms in machine learning technology, the results of intelligent expression of random number forest algorithm in machine learning technology are more accurate. The system is also applied to 3D animation production to observe the measurement error of 3D motion data and facial expression data.
