    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.46, No.2, pp. 1385-1400, 2023, DOI:10.32604/csse.2023.034543
    Abstract Interference signals recognition plays an important role in anti-jamming communication. With the development of deep learning, many supervised interference signals recognition algorithms based on deep learning have emerged recently and show better performance than traditional recognition algorithms. However, there is no unsupervised interference signals recognition algorithm at present. In this paper, an unsupervised interference signals recognition method called double phases and double dimensions contrastive clustering (DDCC) is proposed. Specifically, in the first phase, four data augmentation strategies for interference signals are used in data-augmentation-based (DA-based) contrastive learning.

    ViT2CMH: Vision Transformer Cross-Modal Hashing for Fine-Grained Vision-Text Retrieval

    Mingyong Li, Qiqi Li, Zheng Jiang, Yan Ma*
    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.46, No.2, pp. 1401-1414, 2023, DOI:10.32604/csse.2023.034757
    Abstract In recent years, the development of deep learning has further improved hash retrieval technology. Most of the existing hashing methods currently use Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) to process image and text information, respectively. This makes images or texts subject to local constraints, and inherent label matching cannot capture fine-grained information, often leading to suboptimal results. Driven by the development of the transformer model, we propose a framework called ViT2CMH mainly based on the Vision Transformer to handle deep Cross-modal Hashing tasks rather than CNNs or RNNs. Specifically, we use a BERT network to extract text… More >

    Abstract Due to the rapid propagation characteristic of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) disease, manual diagnostic methods cannot handle the large number of infected individuals to prevent the spread of infection. Despite, new automated diagnostic methods have been brought on board, particularly methods based on artificial intelligence using different medical data such as X-ray imaging. Thoracic imaging, for example, produces several image types that can be processed and analyzed by machine and deep learning methods. X-ray imaging materials widely exist in most hospitals and health institutes since they are affordable compared to other imaging machines. Through this paper, we propose a novel Convolutional… More >

    Abstract The Brain Tumor (BT) is created by an uncontrollable rise of anomalous cells in brain tissue, and it consists of 2 types of cancers they are malignant and benign tumors. The benevolent BT does not affect the neighbouring healthy and normal tissue; however, the malignant could affect the adjacent brain tissues, which results in death. Initial recognition of BT is highly significant to protecting the patient’s life. Generally, the BT can be identified through the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning technique. But the radiotherapists are not offering effective tumor segmentation in MRI images because of the position and unequal shape… More >

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.46, No.2, pp. 1863-1877, 2023, DOI:10.32604/csse.2023.035869
    Abstract Notwithstanding the religious intention of billions of devotees, the religious mass gathering increased major public health concerns since it likely became a huge super spreading event for the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Most attendees ignored preventive measures, namely maintaining physical distance, practising hand hygiene, and wearing facemasks. Wearing a face mask in public areas protects people from spreading COVID-19. Artificial intelligence (AI) based on deep learning (DL) and machine learning (ML) could assist in fighting covid-19 in several ways. This study introduces a new deep learning-based Face Mask Detection in Religious Mass Gathering (DLFMD-RMG) technique during the… More >

    Abstract The problem of producing a natural language description of an image for describing the visual content has gained more attention in natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision (CV). It can be driven by applications like image retrieval or indexing, virtual assistants, image understanding, and support of visually impaired people (VIP). Though the VIP uses other senses, touch and hearing, for recognizing objects and events, the quality of life of those persons is lower than the standard level. Automatic Image captioning generates captions that will be read loudly to the VIP, thereby realizing matters happening around them. This article introduces… More >

    Structural Interval Reliability Algorithm Based on Bernstein Polynomials and Evidence Theory

    Xu Zhang1, Jianchao Ni2, Juxi Hu3,*, Weisi Chen4
    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.46, No.2, pp. 1947-1960, 2023, DOI:10.32604/csse.2023.035118
    Abstract Structural reliability is an important method to measure the safety performance of structures under the influence of uncertain factors. Traditional structural reliability analysis methods often convert the limit state function to the polynomial form to measure whether the structure is invalid. The uncertain parameters mainly exist in the form of intervals. This method requires a lot of calculation and is often difficult to achieve efficiently. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes an interval variable multivariate polynomial algorithm based on Bernstein polynomials and evidence theory to solve the structural reliability problem with cognitive uncertainty.

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.46, No.2, pp. 1999-2020, 2023, DOI:10.32604/csse.2023.034183
    Abstract How to accurately recognize the mental state of pilots is a focus in civil aviation safety. The mental state of pilots is closely related to their cognitive ability in piloting. Whether the cognitive ability meets the standard is related to flight safety. However, the pilot's working state is unique, which increases the difficulty of analyzing the pilot's mental state. In this work, we proposed a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) that merges attention to classify the mental state of pilots through electroencephalography (EEG). Considering the individual differences in EEG, semi-supervised learning based on improved K-Means is used in the model training… More >

    Abstract A measure of the “goodness” or efficiency of the test suite is used to determine the proficiency of a test suite. The appropriateness of the test suite is determined through mutation analysis. Several Finite State Machine (FSM) mutants are produced in mutation analysis by injecting errors against hypotheses. These mutants serve as test subjects for the test suite (TS). The effectiveness of the test suite is proportional to the number of eliminated mutants. The most effective test suite is the one that removes the most significant number of mutants at the optimal time. It is difficult to determine the fault… More >
