Abstract Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a retinal disease that causes irreversible blindness. DR occurs due to the high blood sugar level of the patient, and it is clumsy to be detected at an early stage as no early symptoms appear at the initial level. To prevent blindness, early detection and regular treatment are needed. Automated detection based on machine intelligence may assist the ophthalmologist in examining the patients’ condition more accurately and efficiently. The purpose of this study is to produce an automated screening system for recognition and grading of diabetic retinopathy using machine learning through More >

Abstract An anomaly-based intrusion detection system (A-IDS) provides a critical aspect in a modern computing infrastructure since new types of attacks can be discovered. It prevalently utilizes several machine learning algorithms (ML) for detecting and classifying network traffic. To date, lots of algorithms have been proposed to improve the detection performance of A-IDS, either using individual or ensemble learners. In particular, ensemble learners have shown remarkable performance over individual learners in many applications, including in cybersecurity domain. However, most existing works still suffer from unsatisfactory results due to improper ensemble design. The aim of this study More >

Abstract There are two main problems that lead to unsatisfactory classification performance for hyperspectral remote sensing images (HSIs). One issue is that the HSI data used for training in deep learning is insufficient, therefore a deeper network is unfavorable for spatial-spectral feature extraction. The other problem is that as the depth of a deep neural network increases, the network becomes more prone to overfitting. To address these problems, a dual-channel 3D-Multiscale DenseNet (3DMSS) is proposed to boost the discriminative capability for HSI classification. The proposed model has several distinct advantages. First, the model consists of dual… More >

Abstract Addressing the shortcomings of unmanned path planning, such as significant error and low precision, a path-planning algorithm based on the whale optimization algorithm (WOA)-optimized double-blinking restricted Boltzmann machine-back propagation (RBM-BP) deep neural network model is proposed. The model consists mainly of two twin RBMs and one BP neural network. One twin RBM is used for feature extraction of the unmanned path location, and the other RBM is used for the path similarity calculation. The model uses the WOA algorithm to optimize parameters, which reduces the number of training sessions, shortens the training time, and reduces… More >

Abstract With the vigorous development of the Internet industry and the iterative updating of web service technologies, there are increasing web services with the same or similar functions in the ocean of platforms on the Internet. The issue of selecting the most reliable web service for users has received considerable critical attention. Aiming to solve this task, we propose a service reliability inference method based on deep neural network (SRI-XDFM) in this article. First, according to the pattern of the raw data in our scenario, we improve the performance of embedding by extracting self-correlated information with More >

Abstract Beam-like structures are a class of common but important structures in engineering. Over the past few centuries, extensive research has been carried out to obtain the static and dynamic response of beam-like structures. Although building the finite element model to predict the response of these structures has proven to be effective, it is not always suitable in all the application cases because of high computational time or lack of accuracy. This paper proposes a novel approach to predict the deflection response of beam-like structures based on a deep neural network and the governing differential equation More >

Abstract Software defect prediction plays a very important role in software quality assurance, which aims to inspect as many potentially defect-prone software modules as possible. However, the performance of the prediction model is susceptible to high dimensionality of the dataset that contains irrelevant and redundant features. In addition, software metrics for software defect prediction are almost entirely traditional features compared to the deep semantic feature representation from deep learning techniques. To address these two issues, we propose the following two solutions in this paper: (1) We leverage a novel non-linear manifold learning method - SOINN Landmark… More >

Abstract The license plate recognition system (LPRS) has been widely adopted in daily life due to its efficiency and high accuracy. Deep neural networks are commonly used in the LPRS to improve the recognition accuracy. However, researchers have found that deep neural networks have their own security problems that may lead to unexpected results. Specifically, they can be easily attacked by the adversarial examples that are generated by adding small perturbations to the original images, resulting in incorrect license plate recognition. There are some classic methods to generate adversarial examples, but they cannot be adopted on More >

Abstract Human activity recognition is commonly used in several Internet of Things applications to recognize different contexts and respond to them. Deep learning has gained momentum for identifying activities through sensors, smartphones or even surveillance cameras. However, it is often difficult to train deep learning models on constrained IoT devices. The focus of this paper is to propose an alternative model by constructing a Deep Learning-based Human Activity Recognition framework for edge computing, which we call DL-HAR. The goal of this framework is to exploit the capabilities of cloud computing to train a deep learning model More >

Abstract Previous studies have shown that there is potential semantic dependency between part-of-speech and semantic roles. At the same time, the predicate-argument structure in a sentence is important information for semantic role labeling task. In this work, we introduce the auxiliary deep neural network model, which models semantic dependency between part-of-speech and semantic roles and incorporates the information of predicate-argument into semantic role labeling. Based on the framework of joint learning, part-of-speech tagging is used as an auxiliary task to improve the result of the semantic role labeling. In addition, we introduce the argument recognition layer More >
