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 categorize fingerprints as coming from… More >

Abstract Leaf species identification leads to multitude of societal applications. There is enormous research in the lines of plant identification using pattern recognition. With the help of robust algorithms for leaf identification, rural medicine has the potential to reappear as like the previous decades. This paper discusses CNN based approaches for Indian leaf species identification from white background using smartphones. Variations of CNN models over the features like traditional shape, texture, color and venation apart from the other miniature features of uniformity of edge patterns, leaf tip, margin and other statistical features are explored for efficient leaf classification.

Abstract Deep learning models have been shown to have great advantages in answer selection tasks. The existing models, which employ encoder-decoder recurrent neural network (RNN), have been demonstrated to be effective. However, the traditional RNN-based models still suffer from limitations such as 1) high-dimensional data representation in natural language processing and 2) biased attentive weights for subsequent words in traditional time series models. In this study, a new answer selection model is proposed based on the Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) and attention mechanism. The proposed model is able to generate the more effective question-answer pair representation. Experiments on a question… More >

Abstract Accurate segmentation of CT images of liver tumors is an important adjunct for the liver diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases. In recent years, due to the great improvement of hard device, many deep learning based methods have been proposed for automatic liver segmentation. Among them, there are the plain neural network headed by FCN and the residual neural network headed by Resnet, both of which have many variations. They have achieved certain achievements in medical image segmentation. In this paper, we firstly select five representative structures, i.e., FCN, U-Net, Segnet, Resnet and Densenet, to investigate their performance on liver… More >

Abstract The task of prison term prediction is to predict the term of penalty based on textual fact description for a certain type of criminal case. Recent advances in deep learning frameworks inspire us to propose a two-step method to address this problem. To obtain a better understanding and more specific representation of the legal texts, we summarize a judgment model according to relevant law articles and then apply it in the extraction of case feature from judgment documents. By formalizing prison term prediction as a regression problem, we adopt the linear regression model and the neural network model to train… More >

Abstract Aortic dissection (AD) is a kind of acute and rapidly progressing cardiovascular disease. In this work, we build a CTA image library with 88 CT cases, 43 cases of aortic dissection and 45 cases of health. An aortic dissection detection method based on CTA images is proposed. ROI is extracted based on binarization and morphology opening operation. The deep learning networks (InceptionV3, ResNet50, and DenseNet) are applied after the preprocessing of the datasets. Recall, F1-score, Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC) and other performance indexes are investigated. It is shown that the deep learning methods have much better performance than the traditional… More >

Abstract With the advent of deep learning, self-driving schemes based on deep learning are becoming more and more popular. Robust perception-action models should learn from data with different scenarios and real behaviors, while current end-to-end model learning is generally limited to training of massive data, innovation of deep network architecture, and learning in-situ model in a simulation environment. Therefore, we introduce a new image style transfer method into data augmentation, and improve the diversity of limited data by changing the texture, contrast ratio and color of the image, and then it is extended to the scenarios that the model has been… More >

Abstract With the development of deep learning and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), the accuracy of automatic food recognition based on visual data have significantly improved. Some research studies have shown that the deeper the model is, the higher the accuracy is. However, very deep neural networks would be affected by the overfitting problem and also consume huge computing resources. In this paper, a new classification scheme is proposed for automatic food-ingredient recognition based on deep learning. We construct an up-to-date combinational convolutional neural network (CBNet) with a subnet merging technique. Firstly, two different neural networks are utilized for learning interested features.… More >
