Abstract Scene recognition is a fundamental task in computer vision, which generally includes three vital stages, namely feature extraction, feature transformation and classification. Early research mainly focuses on feature extraction, but with the rise of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), more and more feature transformation methods are proposed based on CNN features. In this work, a novel feature transformation algorithm called Graph Encoded Local Discriminative Region Representation (GEDRR) is proposed to find discriminative local representations for scene images and explore the relationship between the discriminative regions. In addition, we propose a method using the multi-head attention module to enhance and fuse convolutional… More >

Abstract With the development of computation technology, the augmented reality (AR) is widely applied in many fields as well as the image recognition. However, the AR application on mobile platform is not developed enough in the past decades due to the capability of the mobile processors. In recent years, the performance of mobile processors has changed rapidly, which makes it comparable to the desktop processors. This paper proposed and realized an AR system to be used on the Android mobile platform based on the image recognition through EasyAR engine and Unity 3D development tools. In this system, the image recognition could… More >

Abstract With the rapid development of network media, the short text has become the main cover of information dissemination by quickly disseminating relevant entity information. However, the lack of context in the short text can easily lead to ambiguity, which will greatly reduce the efficiency of obtaining information and seriously affect the user’s experience, especially in the financial field. This paper proposed an entity disambiguation algorithm based on multi-word vector ensemble and decision to eliminate the ambiguity of entities and purify text information in information processing. First of all, we integrate a variety of unsupervised pre-trained word vector models as vector… More >

Abstract Event causality identification is an essential task for information extraction that has attracted growing attention. Early researchers were accustomed to combining the convolutional neural network or recurrent neural network models with external causal knowledge, but these methods ignore the importance of rich semantic representation of the event. The event is more structured, so it has more abundant semantic representation. We argue that the elements of the event, the interaction of the two events, and the context between the two events can enrich the event’s semantic representation and help identify event causality. Therefore, the effective semantic representation of events in event… More >

Abstract Every 24 seconds, someone dies on the road due to road accidents and it is the 8th leading cause of death and the first among children aged 15–29 years. 1.35 million people globally die every year due to road traffic crashes. An additional 20–50 million suffer from non-fatal injuries, often resulting in long-term disabilities. This costs around 3% of Gross Domestic Product to most countries, and it is a considerable economic loss. The governments have taken various measures such as better road infrastructures and strict enforcement of motor-vehicle laws to reduce these accidents. However, there is still no remarkable reduction… More >

Abstract Violence recognition is crucial because of its applications in activities related to security and law enforcement. Existing semi-automated systems have issues such as tedious manual surveillances, which causes human errors and makes these systems less effective. Several approaches have been proposed using trajectory-based, non-object-centric, and deep-learning-based methods. Previous studies have shown that deep learning techniques attain higher accuracy and lower error rates than those of other methods. However, the their performance must be improved. This study explores the state-of-the-art deep learning architecture of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and inception V4 to detect and recognize violence using video data. In the… More >

Abstract Vehicle–bicycle conflict incurs a higher risk of traffic accidents, particularly as it frequently takes place at intersections. Mastering the traffic characteristics of vehicle–bicycle conflict and optimizing the design of intersections can effectively reduce such conflict. In this paper, the conflict between right-turning motor vehicles and straight-riding bicycles was taken as the research object, and T-Analyst video recognition technology was used to obtain data on riding (driving) behavior and vehicle–bicycle conflict at seven intersections in Changsha, China. Herein, eight typical traffic characteristics of vehicle–bicycle conflict are summarized, the causes of vehicle–bicycle conflict are analyzed using 18 factors in three dimensions, the… More >

Abstract In this era, deep learning methods offer a broad spectrum of efficient and original algorithms to recognize or predict an output when given a sequence of inputs. In current trends, deep learning methods using recent long short-term memory (LSTM) algorithms try to provide superior performance, but they still have limited effectiveness when detecting sequences of complex human activity. In this work, we adapted the LSTM algorithm into a synchronous algorithm (sync-LSTM), enabling the model to take multiple parallel input sequences to produce multiple parallel synchronized output sequences. The proposed method is implemented for simultaneous human activity recognition (HAR) using heterogeneous… More >

Abstract In recent years, with the increasing popularity of social networks, rumors have become more common. At present, the solution to rumors in social networks is mainly through media censorship and manual reporting, but this method requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and the cost is relatively high. Therefore, research on the characteristics of rumors and automatic identification and classification of network message text is of great significance. This paper uses the Naive Bayes algorithm combined with Laplacian smoothing to identify rumors in social network texts. The first is to segment the text and remove the stop words after… More >

Abstract Because of the characteristics of high redundancy, high parallelism and nonlinearity in the handwritten character recognition model, the convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are becoming the first choice to solve these complex problems. The complexity, the types of characters, the character similarity of the handwritten character dataset, and the choice of optimizers all have a great impact on the network model, resulting in low accuracy, high loss, and other problems. In view of the existence of these problems, an improved LeNet-5 model is proposed. Through increasing its convolutional layers and fully connected layers, higher quality features can be extracted. Secondly, a… More >
