Abstract Spectrum-based fault localization (SBFL) generates a ranked list of suspicious elements by using the program execution spectrum, but the excessive number of elements ranked in parallel results in low localization accuracy. Most researchers consider intra-class dependencies to improve localization accuracy. However, some studies show that inter-class method call type faults account for more than 20%, which means such methods still have certain limitations. To solve the above problems, this paper proposes a two-phase software fault localization based on relational graph convolutional neural networks (Two-RGCNFL). Firstly, in Phase 1, the method call dependence graph (MCDG) of… More >

Abstract Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a complication of diabetes that can lead to reduced vision or even blindness if left untreated. Therefore, early and accurate detection of this disease is crucial for diabetic patients to prevent vision loss. This study aims to develop a deep-learning approach for the early and precise diagnosis of DR, as manual detection can be time-consuming, costly, and prone to human error. The classification task is divided into two groups for binary classification: patients with DR (diagnoses 1–4) and those without DR (diagnosis 0). For multi-class classification, the categories are no DR,… More >

Abstract This study investigates the application of Learnable Memory Vision Transformers (LMViT) for detecting metal surface flaws, comparing their performance with traditional CNNs, specifically ResNet18 and ResNet50, as well as other transformer-based models including Token to Token ViT, ViT without memory, and Parallel ViT. Leveraging a widely-used steel surface defect dataset, the research applies data augmentation and t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) to enhance feature extraction and understanding. These techniques mitigated overfitting, stabilized training, and improved generalization capabilities. The LMViT model achieved a test accuracy of 97.22%, significantly outperforming ResNet18 (88.89%) and ResNet50 (88.90%), as well… More >

Abstract Electricity is essential for keeping power networks balanced between supply and demand, especially since it costs a lot to store. The article talks about different deep learning methods that are used to guess how much green energy different Asian countries will produce. The main goal is to make reliable and accurate predictions that can help with the planning of new power plants to meet rising demand. There is a new deep learning model called the Green-electrical Production Ensemble (GP-Ensemble). It combines three types of neural networks: convolutional neural networks (CNNs), gated recurrent units (GRUs), and… More >

Abstract The rapidly advancing Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have brought about a paradigm shift in various computer vision tasks, while also garnering increasing interest and application in sensor-based Human Activity Recognition (HAR) efforts. However, the significant computational demands and memory requirements hinder the practical deployment of deep networks in resource-constrained systems. This paper introduces a novel network pruning method based on the energy spectral density of data in the frequency domain, which reduces the model’s depth and accelerates activity inference. Unlike traditional pruning methods that focus on the spatial domain and the importance of filters, this… More >

Abstract This paper presents a deep learning Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for predicting grain orientations from electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) patterns. The proposed model consists of multiple neural network layers and has been trained on a dataset of EBSD patterns obtained from stainless steel 316 (SS316). Grain orientation changes when considering the effects of temperature and strain rate on material deformation. The deep learning CNN predicts material orientation using the EBSD method to address this challenge. The accuracy of this approach is evaluated by comparing the predicted crystal orientation with the actual orientation under different conditions, More >

Abstract Mural paintings hold significant historical information and possess substantial artistic and cultural value. However, murals are inevitably damaged by natural environmental factors such as wind and sunlight, as well as by human activities. For this reason, the study of damaged areas is crucial for mural restoration. These damaged regions differ significantly from undamaged areas and can be considered abnormal targets. Traditional manual visual processing lacks strong characterization capabilities and is prone to omissions and false detections. Hyperspectral imaging can reflect the material properties more effectively than visual characterization methods. Thus, this study employs hyperspectral imaging… More >

Abstract In convolutional neural networks, pooling methods are used to reduce both the size of the data and the number of parameters after the convolution of the models. These methods reduce the computational amount of convolutional neural networks, making the neural network more efficient. Maximum pooling, average pooling, and minimum pooling methods are generally used in convolutional neural networks. However, these pooling methods are not suitable for all datasets used in neural network applications. In this study, a new pooling approach to the literature is proposed to increase the efficiency and success rates of convolutional neural… More >
