    Anas Bilal1, Azhar Imran2, Talha Imtiaz Baig3,4, Xiaowen Liu1,*, Haixia Long1, Abdulkareem Alzahrani5, Muhammad Shafiq6

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.48, No.2, pp. 511-528, 2024, DOI:10.32604/csse.2023.039672

    Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being increasingly used for diagnosing Vision-Threatening Diabetic Retinopathy (VTDR), which is a leading cause of visual impairment and blindness worldwide. However, previous automated VTDR detection methods have mainly relied on manual feature extraction and classification, leading to errors. This paper proposes a novel VTDR detection and classification model that combines different models through majority voting. Our proposed methodology involves preprocessing, data augmentation, feature extraction, and classification stages. We use a hybrid convolutional neural network-singular value decomposition (CNN-SVD) model for feature extraction and selection and an improved SVM-RBF with a Decision Tree (DT) and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN)… More >

    A Robust Framework for Multimodal Sentiment Analysis with Noisy Labels Generated from Distributed Data Annotation

    Kai Jiang, Bin Cao*, Jing Fan

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.3, pp. 2965-2984, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.046348

    Abstract Multimodal sentiment analysis utilizes multimodal data such as text, facial expressions and voice to detect people’s attitudes. With the advent of distributed data collection and annotation, we can easily obtain and share such multimodal data. However, due to professional discrepancies among annotators and lax quality control, noisy labels might be introduced. Recent research suggests that deep neural networks (DNNs) will overfit noisy labels, leading to the poor performance of the DNNs. To address this challenging problem, we present a Multimodal Robust Meta Learning framework (MRML) for multimodal sentiment analysis to resist noisy labels and correlate distinct modalities simultaneously. Specifically, we… More >

    A Blockchain and CP-ABE Based Access Control Scheme with Fine-Grained Revocation of Attributes in Cloud Health

    Ye Lu1,*, Tao Feng1, Chunyan Liu2, Wenbo Zhang3

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.78, No.2, pp. 2787-2811, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.046106

    Abstract The Access control scheme is an effective method to protect user data privacy. The access control scheme based on blockchain and ciphertext policy attribute encryption (CP–ABE) can solve the problems of single—point of failure and lack of trust in the centralized system. However, it also brings new problems to the health information in the cloud storage environment, such as attribute leakage, low consensus efficiency, complex permission updates, and so on. This paper proposes an access control scheme with fine-grained attribute revocation, keyword search, and traceability of the attribute private key distribution process. Blockchain technology tracks the authorization of attribute private… More >

    LC-NPLA: Label and Community Information-Based Network Presentation Learning Algorithm

    Shihu Liu, Chunsheng Yang*, Yingjie Liu

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.38, No.3, pp. 203-223, 2023, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2023.040818

    Abstract Many network presentation learning algorithms (NPLA) have originated from the process of the random walk between nodes in recent years. Despite these algorithms can obtain great embedding results, there may be also some limitations. For instance, only the structural information of nodes is considered when these kinds of algorithms are constructed. Aiming at this issue, a label and community information-based network presentation learning algorithm (LC-NPLA) is proposed in this paper. First of all, by using the community information and the label information of nodes, the first-order neighbors of nodes are reconstructed. In the next, the random walk strategy is improved… More >

    Gate-Attention and Dual-End Enhancement Mechanism for Multi-Label Text Classification

    Jieren Cheng1,2, Xiaolong Chen1,*, Wenghang Xu3, Shuai Hua3, Zhu Tang1, Victor S. Sheng4

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.77, No.2, pp. 1779-1793, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.042980

    Abstract In the realm of Multi-Label Text Classification (MLTC), the dual challenges of extracting rich semantic features from text and discerning inter-label relationships have spurred innovative approaches. Many studies in semantic feature extraction have turned to external knowledge to augment the model’s grasp of textual content, often overlooking intrinsic textual cues such as label statistical features. In contrast, these endogenous insights naturally align with the classification task. In our paper, to complement this focus on intrinsic knowledge, we introduce a novel Gate-Attention mechanism. This mechanism adeptly integrates statistical features from the text itself into the semantic fabric, enhancing the model’s capacity… More >
