Patent number: 11531568Abstract: A time-aware application task scheduling system for a green data center (GDC) that includes a task scheduling processor coupled to one or more queue processors and an energy collecting processor connected to one or more renewable energy sources and a grid power source. The systems is capable of determining a service rate for a plurality of servers to process a plurality of application tasks in the GDC and scheduling, via processing circuitry, one or more of the application tasks to be executed in one or more of the servers at a rate according to a difference in an accumulated arriving rate for the plurality of application tasks into the one or more queues and a removal rate for the plurality of application tasks from the one or more queues. The system is further capable of removing the one or more application tasks from their associated queues for execution in the scheduled one or more servers.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2020Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: King Abdulaziz UniversityInventors: Yusuf Al-Turki, Haitao Yuan, Jing Bi, Mengchu Zhou, Ahmed Chiheb Ammari, Abdullah Abusorrah, Khaled Sadraoui

Patent number: 10970650Abstract: An AUC-maximized high-accuracy classification method and system for imbalanced datasets integrates an under-sampling-and-ensemble strategy, a true-outliers-removing strategy and a fake-outliers-concealing strategy, with the hope to effectively and robustly enhance both the AUC and the accuracy metrics in imbalanced classification. Applying under-sampling to construct multiple sub-datasets and assembling classification results of multiple classifiers greatly decline the risk of misclassification and lead to highly accurate and robust results in imbalanced classification task. Moreover, this invention pays attention to detect and identify extremely hidden outliers in a sub-dataset which includes a sub-majority dataset and the entire minority dataset. In this way, more hidden outliers can be located and thus exert less influence on the decision boundary, which contributes to both high AUC and accuracy.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2020Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: King Abdulaziz UniversityInventors: Abdullah Abusorrah, Yusuf Al-Turki, Mengchu Zhou, Siya Yao

Patent number: 10871993Abstract: A time-aware method of scheduling application tasks in a green data center (GDC) using a task scheduling processor and an energy collecting processor connected to one or more renewable energy sources and a grid power source. The method includes receiving energy data regarding available energy from renewable energy resources such that the renewable energy source is used first then receiving the application tasks and determining a service rate for servers to process the application tasks by using a service rate obtained by solving a profit maximization problem for the GDC by prioritizing and immediately scheduling or removing certain application tasks. The method also includes determining an initial fitness level of each representative application task based on total revenue of the GDC, an energy cost of the GDC, and a penalty associated with violated constraints.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2017Date of Patent: December 22, 2020Assignee: King Abdulaziz UniversityInventors: Yusuf Al-Turki, Haitao Yuan, Jing Bi, Mengchu Zhou, Ahmed Chiheb Ammari, Abdullah Abusorrah, Khaled Sadraoui

Patent number: 10839269Abstract: In the field of computer vision, without sufficient labeled images, it is challenging to train an accurate model. But through visual adaptation from source to target domains, a relevant labeled dataset can help solve such problem. Many methods apply adversarial learning to diminish cross-domain distribution difference. They are able to greatly enhance the performance on target classification tasks. GAN (Generative Adversarial Networks) loss is widely used in adversarial adaptation learning methods to reduce a across-domain distribution difference. However, it becomes difficult to decline such distribution difference if generator or discriminator in GAN fails to work as expected and degrades its performance. To solve such cross-domain classification problems, an adaptation algorithm and system called as Generative Adversarial Distribution Matching (GADM) is implemented.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2020Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: King Abdulaziz UniversityInventors: Yusuf Al-Turki, Abdullah Abusorrah, Qi Kang, Siya Yao, Kai Zhang, MengChu Zhou

Patent number: 10826428Abstract: To ensure photovoltaic (PV) panels at a PV plant constantly operate in an ideal state, an unsupervised system and method of intelligent performance evaluation and data-driven fault detection is used. The system and method enables engineers to check PV panels in time and implement timely maintenance. Monitored data are classified into three subsets: ideal period A, transition period S, and downturn period B. Based on A and B data, two regression prediction models are built which are tree-based and fit the non-continuous PV data well. Real-time measured power is compared with upper and lower reference baselines derived from the two predictive models, respectively. Using threshold ranges, the system and method achieves the instantaneous performance monitoring of PV power generation, and provides failure identification and operation and maintenance (O&M) suggestions to engineers.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2019Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: King Abdulaziz UniversityInventors: Abdullah Mohammed Abusorrah, Yusuf A.

Patent number: 10678196Abstract: Soft sensing of nonlinear and multimode industrial processes given a limited number of labeled data samples is disclosed. Methods include a semi-supervised probabilistic density-based regression approach, called Semi-supervised Weighted Gaussian Regression (SWGR). In SWGR, different weights are assigned to each training sample based on their similarities to a query sample. Then a local weighted Gaussian density is built for capturing the joint probability of historical samples around the query sample. The training process of parameters in SWGR incorporates both labeled and unlabeled data samples via a maximum likelihood estimation algorithm. In this way, the soft sensor model is able to approximate the nonlinear mechanics of input and output variables and remedy the insufficiency of labeled samples. At last, the output prediction as well as the uncertainty of prediction can be obtained by the conditional distribution.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2020Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: King Abdulaziz UniversityInventors: Yusuf Al-Turki, Abdullah Abusorrah, XuDong Shi, Qi Kang, MengChu Zhou
