    FedCCM: Communication-Efficient Federated Learning via Clustered Client Momentum in Non-IID Settings

    Hang Wen, Kai Zeng
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2025.072909

    Abstract Federated learning often experiences slow and unstable convergence due to edge-side data heterogeneity. This problem becomes more severe when edge participation rate is low, as the information collected from different edge devices varies significantly. As a result, communication overhead increases, which further slows down the convergence process. To address this challenge, we propose a simple yet effective federated learning framework that improves consistency among edge devices. The core idea is clusters the lookahead gradients collected from edge devices on the cloud server to obtain personalized momentum for steering local updates. In parallel, a global momentum… More >

    A Cloud-Based Distributed System for Story Visualization Using Stable Diffusion

    Chuang-Chieh Lin, Yung-Shen Huang, Shih-Yeh Chen
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2025.072890

    Abstract With the rapid development of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), the task of story visualization, which transforms natural language narratives into coherent and consistent image sequences, has attracted growing research attention. However, existing methods still face limitations in balancing multi-frame character consistency and generation efficiency, which restricts their feasibility for large-scale practical applications. To address this issue, this study proposes a modular cloud-based distributed system built on Stable Diffusion. By separating the character generation and story generation processes, and integrating multi-feature control techniques, a caching mechanism, and an asynchronous task queue architecture, the system enhances generation… More >

    A Deep Learning-Based Cloud Groundwater Level Prediction System

    Yu-Sheng Su, Yi-Wen Wang, Yun-Chin Wu, Zheng-Yun Xiao, Ting-Jou Ding
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.85, No.1, pp. 1095-1111, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2025.067129

    Abstract In the context of global change, understanding changes in water resources requires close monitoring of groundwater levels. A mismatch between water supply and demand could lead to severe consequences such as land subsidence. To ensure a sustainable water supply and to minimize the environmental effects of land subsidence, groundwater must be effectively monitored and managed. Despite significant global progress in groundwater management, the swift advancements in technology and artificial intelligence (AI) have spurred extensive studies aimed at enhancing the accuracy of groundwater predictions. This study proposes an AI-based method that combines deep learning with a… More >

    An Image Inpainting Approach Based on Parallel Dual-Branch Learnable Transformer Network

    Rongrong Gong, Tingxian Zhang, Yawen Wei, Dengyong Zhang, Yan Li
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.85, No.1, pp. 1221-1234, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2025.066842
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Omnipresent AI in the Cloud Era Reshaping Distributed Computation and Adaptive Systems for Modern Applications)
    Abstract Image inpainting refers to synthesizing missing content in an image based on known information to restore occluded or damaged regions, which is a typical manifestation of this trend. With the increasing complexity of image in tasks and the growth of data scale, existing deep learning methods still have some limitations. For example, they lack the ability to capture long-range dependencies and their performance in handling multi-scale image structures is suboptimal. To solve this problem, the paper proposes an image inpainting method based on the parallel dual-branch learnable Transformer network. The encoder of the proposed model More >
