Abstract Breast cancer is a type of cancer responsible for higher mortality rates among women. The cruelty of breast cancer always requires a promising approach for its earlier detection. In light of this, the proposed research leverages the representation ability of pretrained EfficientNet-B0 model and the classification ability of the XGBoost model for the binary classification of breast tumors. In addition, the above transfer learning model is modified in such a way that it will focus more on tumor cells in the input mammogram. Accordingly, the work proposed an EfficientNet-B0 having a Spatial Attention Layer with More >

Abstract Identifying faces in non-frontal poses presents a significant challenge for face recognition (FR) systems. In this study, we delved into the impact of yaw pose variations on these systems and devised a robust method for detecting faces across a wide range of angles from 0° to ±90°. We initially selected the most suitable feature vector size by integrating the Dlib, FaceNet (Inception-v2), and “Support Vector Machines (SVM)” + “K-nearest neighbors (KNN)” algorithms. To train and evaluate this feature vector, we used two datasets: the “Labeled Faces in the Wild (LFW)” benchmark data and the “Robust… More >

Abstract In the process of fault detection and classification, the operation mode usually drifts over time, which brings great challenges to the algorithms. Because traditional machine learning based fault classification cannot dynamically update the trained model according to the probability distribution of the testing dataset, the accuracy of these traditional methods usually drops significantly in the case of covariate shift. In this paper, an importance-weighted transfer learning method is proposed for fault classification in the nonlinear multi-mode industrial process. It effectively alters the drift between the training and testing dataset. Firstly, the mutual information method is… More >

Abstract The high performance of IoT technology in transportation networks has led to the increasing adoption of Internet of Vehicles (IoV) technology. The functional advantages of IoV include online communication services, accident prevention, cost reduction, and enhanced traffic regularity. Despite these benefits, IoV technology is susceptible to cyber-attacks, which can exploit vulnerabilities in the vehicle network, leading to perturbations, disturbances, non-recognition of traffic signs, accidents, and vehicle immobilization. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art achievements and developments in applying Deep Transfer Learning (DTL) models for Intrusion Detection Systems in the Internet of Vehicles (IDS-IoV) based on anomaly… More >

Abstract Neuroimaging has emerged over the last few decades as a crucial tool in diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a condition that falls between the spectrum of normal cognitive function and AD. However, previous studies have mainly used handcrafted features to classify MCI, AD, and normal control (NC) individuals. This paper focuses on using gray matter (GM) scans obtained through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the diagnosis of individuals with MCI, AD, and NC. To improve classification performance, we developed two transfer learning strategies with data augmentation (i.e., shear range, rotation, zoom… More >

Abstract Mobile technology is developing significantly. Mobile phone technologies have been integrated into the healthcare industry to help medical practitioners. Typically, computer vision models focus on image detection and classification issues. MobileNetV2 is a computer vision model that performs well on mobile devices, but it requires cloud services to process biometric image information and provide predictions to users. This leads to increased latency. Processing biometrics image datasets on mobile devices will make the prediction faster, but mobiles are resource-restricted devices in terms of storage, power, and computational speed. Hence, a model that is small in size,… More >

Abstract In recent years, with the continuous development of deep learning and knowledge graph reasoning methods, more and more researchers have shown great interest in improving knowledge graph reasoning methods by inferring missing facts through reasoning. By searching paths on the knowledge graph and making fact and link predictions based on these paths, deep learning-based Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents can demonstrate good performance and interpretability. Therefore, deep reinforcement learning-based knowledge reasoning methods have rapidly emerged in recent years and have become a hot research topic. However, even in a small and fixed knowledge graph reasoning action… More >

Abstract Estimation of crowd count is becoming crucial nowadays, as it can help in security surveillance, crowd monitoring, and management for different events. It is challenging to determine the approximate crowd size from an image of the crowd’s density. Therefore in this research study, we proposed a multi-headed convolutional neural network architecture-based model for crowd counting, where we divided our proposed model into two main components: (i) the convolutional neural network, which extracts the feature across the whole image that is given to it as an input, and (ii) the multi-headed layers, which make it easier More >

Abstract In recent years, Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) has become an emerging approach that provides affordable energy management solutions using aggregated load obtained from a single smart meter in the power grid. Furthermore, by integrating Machine Learning (ML), NILM can efficiently use electrical energy and offer less of a burden for the energy monitoring process. However, conducted research works have limitations for real-time implementation due to the practical issues. This paper aims to identify the contribution of ML approaches to developing a reliable Energy Management (EM) solution with NILM. Firstly, phases of the NILM are discussed,… More >

Abstract Electricity theft is a widespread non-technical issue that has a negative impact on both power grids and electricity users. It hinders the economic growth of utility companies, poses electrical risks, and impacts the high energy costs borne by consumers. The development of smart grids is crucial for the identification of power theft since these systems create enormous amounts of data, including information on client consumption, which may be used to identify electricity theft using machine learning and deep learning techniques. Moreover, there also exist different solutions such as hardware-based solutions to detect electricity theft that… More >
