Abstract In this advanced age, when smart phones are the norm, people utilize social networking, online shopping, and even private information storage through smart phones. As a result, identity authentication has become the most critical security activity in this period of the intelligent craze. By analyzing the shortcomings of the existing authentication methods, this paper proposes an identity authentication method based on the behavior of smartphone users. Firstly, the sensor data and touch-screen data of the smart phone users are collected through android programming. Secondly, the eigenvalues of this data are extracted and sent to the server.

Abstract On Twitter, people often use hashtags to mark the subject of a tweet. Tweets have specific themes or content that are easy for people to manage. With the increase in the number of tweets, how to automatically recommend hashtags for tweets has received wide attention. The previous hashtag recommendation methods were to convert the task into a multi-class classification problem. However, these methods can only recommend hashtags that appeared in historical information, and cannot recommend the new ones. In this work, we extend the self-attention mechanism to turn the hashtag recommendation task into a sequence labeling task. To train and… More >

Abstract We in this paper exploit time series algorithm based deep learning in forecasting damage mechanics problems. The methodologies that are able to work accurately for less computational and resolving attempts are a significant demand nowadays. Relied on learning an amount of information from given data, the long short-term memory (LSTM) method and multi-layer neural networks (MNN) method are applied to predict solutions. Numerical examples are implemented for predicting fracture growth rates of L-shape concrete specimen under load ratio, single-edge-notched beam forced by 4-point shear and hydraulic fracturing in permeable porous media problems such as storage-toughness fracture regime and fracture-height growth… More >

Abstract Compressive strength of concrete is a significant factor to assess building structure health and safety. Therefore, various methods have been developed to evaluate the compressive strength of concrete structures. However, previous methods have several challenges in costly, time-consuming, and unsafety. To address these drawbacks, this paper proposed a digital vision based concrete compressive strength evaluating model using deep convolutional neural network (DCNN). The proposed model presented an alternative approach to evaluating the concrete strength and contributed to improving efficiency and accuracy. The model was developed with 4,000 digital images and 61,996 images extracted from video recordings collected from concrete samples.… More >

Abstract Material parameters are adjustable coefficients in constitutive equations of the mechanical behaviour. Their identification requires a combined experimental and numerical approach, which results in a generally ill-posed inverse problem. Methods commonly applied in computational mechanics like optimisation and neural networks are addressed, and problems like sensitivity, uniqueness and stability are discussed. The cohesive model for describing ductile tearing is chosen as practical example to substantiate the general considerations. More >

Abstract Cardiovascular diseases are closely associated with deteriorating atherosclerotic plaques. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a recently developed intravascular imaging technique with high resolution approximately 10 microns and could provide accurate quantification of coronary plaque morphology. However, tissue segmentation of OCT images in clinic is still mainly performed manually by physicians which is time consuming and subjective. To overcome these limitations, two automatic segmentation methods for intracoronary OCT image based on support vector machine (SVM) and convolutional neural network (CNN) were performed to identify the plaque region and characterize plaque components. In vivo IVUS and OCT coronary plaque data from 5… More >

Abstract The tissue composition and morphological structure of atherosclerotic plaques determine its stability or vulnerability. Intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) has rapidly become the method of choice for assessing the pathology of the coronary arterial wall in vivo due to its superior resolution. However, in clinical practice, the analysis of plaque composition of OCT images mainly relies on the interpretation of images by well-trained experts, which is a time-consuming, labor-intensive procedure and it is also subjective. The purpose of this study is to use the Convolutional neural network (CNN) method to automatically extract the best feature information from the OCT images… More >

Abstract This paper describes an information optimizing scheme which is developed by integrating rough set and hierarchical data fusion. The novel structural damage indices are extracted using the information from different sources and then imported into probabilistic neural network (PNN) for classification and health assessment. In order to enhance the accuracy of diagnosis, results from separate PNN classification are fused to achieve comprehensive decision. Rough set is employed to decrease the spatial dimension of data. The predictive accuracy of optimizing scheme is demonstrated on a helicopter, taken as an example, with varied sensors, for multiple damage identification. More >

Abstract Cardiomyopathy is one of the most serious public health threats. The precise structural and functional cardiac measurement is an essential step for clinical diagnosis and follow-up treatment planning. Cardiologists are often required to draw endocardial and epicardial contours of the left ventricle (LV) manually in routine clinical diagnosis or treatment planning period. This task is time-consuming and error-prone. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a fully automated end-to-end semantic segmentation method on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging datasets. However, due to the low image quality and the deformation caused by heartbeat, there is no effective tool for fully automated end-to-end… More >
