Abstract Recovering high-quality inscription images from unknown and complex inscription noisy images is a challenging research issue. Different from natural images, character images pay more attention to stroke information. However, existing models mainly consider pixel-level information while ignoring structural information of the character, such as its edge and glyph, resulting in reconstructed images with mottled local structure and character damage. To solve these problems, we propose a novel generative adversarial network (GAN) framework based on an edge-guided generator and a discriminator constructed by a dual-domain U-Net framework, i.e., EDU-GAN. Unlike existing frameworks, the generator introduces the… More >

Abstract Generative adversarial networks (GANs) with gaming abilities have been widely applied in image generation. However, gamistic generators and discriminators may reduce the robustness of the obtained GANs in image generation under varying scenes. Enhancing the relation of hierarchical information in a generation network and enlarging differences of different network architectures can facilitate more structural information to improve the generation effect for image generation. In this paper, we propose an enhanced GAN via improving a generator for image generation (EIGGAN). EIGGAN applies a spatial attention to a generator to extract salient information to enhance the truthfulness… More >

Abstract Damage to parcels reduces customer satisfaction with delivery services and increases return-logistics costs. This can be prevented by detecting and addressing the damage before the parcels reach the customer. Consequently, various studies have been conducted on deep learning techniques related to the detection of parcel damage. This study proposes a deep learning-based damage detection method for various types of parcels. The method is intended to be part of a parcel information-recognition system that identifies the volume and shipping information of parcels, and determines whether they are damaged; this method is intended for use in the… More >

Abstract The convergence of Internet of Things (IoT), 5G, and cloud collaboration offers tailored solutions to the rigorous demands of multi-flow integrated energy aggregation dispatch data processing. While generative adversarial networks (GANs) are instrumental in resource scheduling, their application in this domain is impeded by challenges such as convergence speed, inferior optimality searching capability, and the inability to learn from failed decision making feedbacks. Therefore, a cloud-edge collaborative federated GAN-based communication and computing resource scheduling algorithm with long-term constraint violation sensitiveness is proposed to address these challenges. The proposed algorithm facilitates real-time, energy-efficient data processing by More >

Abstract Multi-modal histological image registration tasks pose significant challenges due to tissue staining operations causing partial loss and folding of tissue. Convolutional neural network (CNN) and generative adversarial network (GAN) are pivotal in medical image registration. However, existing methods often struggle with severe interference and deformation, as seen in histological images of conditions like Cushing’s disease. We argue that the failure of current approaches lies in underutilizing the feature extraction capability of the discriminator in GAN. In this study, we propose a novel multi-modal registration approach GAN-DIRNet based on GAN for deformable histological image registration. To… More >

Abstract Accurate quantification of the uncertainty in the mechanical characteristics of dielectric solids is crucial for advancing their application in high-precision technological domains, necessitating the development of robust computational methods. This paper introduces a Conditional Generation Adversarial Network Isogeometric Analysis (CGAN-IGA) to assess the uncertainty of dielectric solids’ mechanical characteristics. IGA is utilized for the precise computation of electric potentials in dielectric, piezoelectric, and flexoelectric materials, leveraging its advantage of integrating seamlessly with Computer-Aided Design (CAD) models to maintain exact geometrical fidelity. The CGAN method is highly efficient in generating models for piezoelectric and flexoelectric materials, More >

Abstract Imbalanced datasets are common in practical applications, and oversampling methods using fuzzy rules have been shown to enhance the classification performance of imbalanced data by taking into account the relationship between data attributes. However, the creation of fuzzy rules typically depends on expert knowledge, which may not fully leverage the label information in training data and may be subjective. To address this issue, a novel fuzzy rule oversampling approach is developed based on the learning vector quantization (LVQ) algorithm. In this method, the label information of the training data is utilized to determine the antecedent… More >

Abstract The challenging task of handwriting style synthesis requires capturing the individuality and diversity of human handwriting. The majority of currently available methods use either a generative adversarial network (GAN) or a recurrent neural network (RNN) to generate new handwriting styles. This is why these techniques frequently fall short of producing diverse and realistic text pictures, particularly for terms that are not commonly used. To resolve that, this research proposes a novel deep learning model that consists of a style encoder and a text generator to synthesize different handwriting styles. This network excels in generating conditional… More >

Abstract With the rapid advancement of the Internet, network attack methods are constantly evolving and adapting. To better identify the network attack behavior, a universal gravitation clustering algorithm was proposed by analyzing the dissimilarities and similarities of the clustering algorithms. First, the algorithm designated the cluster set as vacant, with the introduction of a new object. Subsequently, a new cluster based on the given object was constructed. The dissimilarities between it and each existing cluster were calculated using a defined difference measure. The minimum dissimilarity was selected. Through comparing the proposed algorithm with the traditional Back More >
