Abstract In distributed storage systems, file access efficiency has an important impact on the real-time nature of information forensics. As a popular approach to improve file accessing efficiency, prefetching model can fetches data before it is needed according to the file access pattern, which can reduce the I/O waiting time and increase the system concurrency. However, prefetching model needs to mine the degree of association between files to ensure the accuracy of prefetching. In the massive small file situation, the sheer volume of files poses a challenge to the efficiency and accuracy of relevance mining. In… More >

Abstract Calculating the semantic similarity of two sentences is an extremely challenging problem. We propose a solution based on convolutional neural networks (CNN) using semantic and syntactic features of sentences. The similarity score between two sentences is computed as follows. First, given a sentence, two matrices are constructed accordingly, which are called the syntax model input matrix and the semantic model input matrix; one records some syntax features, and the other records some semantic features. By experimenting with different arrangements of representing the syntactic and semantic features of the sentences in the matrices, we adopt the… More >

Abstract Supervised machine learning approaches are effective in text mining, but their success relies heavily on manually annotated corpora. However, there are limited numbers of annotated biomedical event corpora, and the available datasets contain insufficient examples for training classifiers; the common cure is to seek large amounts of training samples from unlabeled data, but such data sets often contain many mislabeled samples, which will degrade the performance of classifiers. Therefore, this study proposes a novel error data detection approach suitable for reducing noise in unlabeled biomedical event data. First, we construct the mislabeled dataset through error… More >

Abstract A vast amount of information has been produced in recent years, which brings a huge challenge to information management. The better usage of big data is of important theoretical and practical significance for effectively addressing and managing messages. In this paper, we propose a nine-rectangle-grid information model according to the information value and privacy, and then present information use policies based on the rough set theory. Recurrent neural networks were employed to classify OTT messages. The content of user interest is effectively incorporated into the classification process during the annotation of OTT messages, ending with More >

Abstract In view of the low accuracy of traditional ground nephogram recognition model, the authors put forward a k-means algorithm-acquired neural network ensemble method, which takes BP neural network ensemble model as the basis, uses k-means algorithm to choose the individual neural networks with partial diversities for integration, and builds the cloud form classification model. Through simulation experiments on ground nephogram samples, the results show that the algorithm proposed in the article can effectively improve the Classification accuracy of ground nephogram recognition in comparison with applying single BP neural network and traditional BP AdaBoost ensemble algorithm on More >

Abstract Image quality assessment has become increasingly important in image quality monitoring and reliability assuring of image processing systems. Most of the existing no-reference image quality assessment methods mainly exploit the global information of image while ignoring vital local information. Actually, the introduced distortion depends on a slight difference in details between the distorted image and the non-distorted reference image. In light of this, we propose a no-reference image quality assessment method based on a multi-scale convolutional neural network, which integrates both global information and local information of an image. We first adopt the image pyramid More >

Abstract Cross laminated timber (CLT) panels, which are used as load bearing plates and shear panels in timber structures, can serve as roofs, walls and floors. Since timber is construction material with relatively less stiffness, the design of such structures is often driven by serviceability criteria, such as deflection and vibration. Therefore, accurate vibration and elastic properties are vital for engineered CLT products. The objective of this research is to explore a method to determine the natural frequencies of orthotropic wood plates efficiently and fast. The method was developed based on vibration signal processing by wavelet More >

Abstract Based on the theory of modal acoustic emission (AE), when the convolutional neural network (CNN) is used to identify rotor rub-impact faults, the training data has a small sample size, and the AE sound segment belongs to a single channel signal with less pixel-level information and strong local correlation. Due to the convolutional pooling operations of CNN, coarse-grained and edge information are lost, and the top-level information dimension in CNN network is low, which can easily lead to overfitting. To solve the above problems, we first propose the use of sound spectrograms and their differential More >

Abstract Human action recognition under complex environment is a challenging work. Recently, sparse representation has achieved excellent results of dealing with human action recognition problem under different conditions. The main idea of sparse representation classification is to construct a general classification scheme where the training samples of each class can be considered as the dictionary to express the query class, and the minimal reconstruction error indicates its corresponding class. However, how to learn a discriminative dictionary is still a difficult work. In this work, we make two contributions. First, we build a new and robust human More >

Abstract Fingerprint security technology has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years because of its unique biometric information that does not change over an individual’s lifetime and is a highly reliable and secure way to identify a certain individuals. AFIS (Automated Fingerprint Identification System) is a system used by Korean police for identifying a specific person by fingerprint. The AFIS system, however, only selects a list of possible candidates through fingerprints, the exact individual must be found by fingerprint experts. In this paper, we designed a deep learning system using deep convolution network to… More >
