Abstract This paper presents a novel framework aimed at quantifying uncertainties associated with the 3D reconstruction of smoke from 2D images. This approach reconstructs color and density fields from 2D images using Neural Radiance Field (NeRF) and improves image quality using frequency regularization. The NeRF model is obtained via joint training of multiple artificial neural networks, whereby the expectation and standard deviation of density fields and RGB values can be evaluated for each pixel. In addition, customized physics-informed neural network (PINN) with residual blocks and two-layer activation functions are utilized to input the density fields of the NeRF into Navier-Stokes equations… More >

Abstract In differentiable search architecture search methods, a more efficient search space design can significantly improve the performance of the searched architecture, thus requiring people to carefully define the search space with different complexity according to various operations. Meanwhile rationalizing the search strategies to explore the well-defined search space will further improve the speed and efficiency of architecture search. With this in mind, we propose a faster and more efficient differentiable architecture search method, AllegroNAS. Firstly, we introduce a more efficient search space enriched by the introduction of two redefined convolution modules. Secondly, we utilize a more efficient architectural parameter regularization… More >

Abstract Recent state-of-the-art semi-supervised learning (SSL) methods usually use data augmentations as core components. Such methods, however, are limited to simple transformations such as the augmentations under the instance’s naive representations or the augmentations under the instance’s semantic representations. To tackle this problem, we offer a unique insight into data augmentations and propose a novel data-augmentation-based semi-supervised learning method, called Attentive Neighborhood Feature Augmentation (ANFA). The motivation of our method lies in the observation that the relationship between the given feature and its neighborhood may contribute to constructing more reliable transformations for the data, and further facilitating the classifier to distinguish… More >

Abstract The creation of the 3D rendering model involves the prediction of an accurate depth map for the input images. A proposed approach of a modified semi-global block matching algorithm with variable window size and the gradient assessment of objects predicts the depth map. 3D modeling and view synthesis algorithms could effectively handle the obtained disparity maps. This work uses the consistency check method to find an accurate depth map for identifying occluded pixels. The prediction of the disparity map by semi-global block matching has used the benchmark dataset of Middlebury stereo for evaluation. The improved depth map quality within a… More >

Abstract In bilingual translation, attention-based Neural Machine Translation (NMT) models are used to achieve synchrony between input and output sequences and the notion of alignment. NMT model has obtained state-of-the-art performance for several language pairs. However, there has been little work exploring useful architectures for Urdu-to-English machine translation. We conducted extensive Urdu-to-English translation experiments using Long short-term memory (LSTM)/Bidirectional recurrent neural networks (Bi-RNN)/Statistical recurrent unit (SRU)/Gated recurrent unit (GRU)/Convolutional neural network (CNN) and Transformer. Experimental results show that Bi-RNN and LSTM with attention mechanism trained iteratively, with a scalable data set, make precise predictions on unseen data. The trained models yielded… More >

Abstract The structure and function of brain networks have been altered in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Manifold regularization (MR) only considers the pairing relationship between two brain regions and cannot represent functional interactions or higher-order relationships between multiple brain regions. To solve this issue, we developed a method to construct a dynamic brain functional network (DBFN) based on dynamic hypergraph MR (DHMR) and applied it to the classification of ESRD associated with mild cognitive impairment (ESRDaMCI). The construction of DBFN with Pearson’s correlation (PC) was transformed into an optimization model. Node convolution and hyperedge convolution superposition were adopted to… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract This paper proposes a modified formulation of the singular boundary method (SBM) by introducing the combined Helmholtz integral equation formulation (CHIEF) and the self-regularization technique to exterior acoustics. In the SBM, the concept of the origin intensity factor (OIF) is introduced to avoid the singularities of the fundamental solutions. The SBM belongs to the meshless boundary collocation methods. The additional use of the CHIEF scheme and the self-regularization technique in the SBM guarantees the unique solution of the exterior acoustics accurately and efficiently. Consequently, by using the SBM coupled with the CHIEF scheme and the self-regularization technique, the accuracy of… More >

Abstract Melanoma is the most lethal malignant tumour, and its prevalence is increasing. Early detection and diagnosis of skin cancer can alert patients to manage precautions and dramatically improve the lives of people. Recently, deep learning has grown increasingly popular in the extraction and categorization of skin cancer features for effective prediction. A deep learning model learns and co-adapts representations and features from training data to the point where it fails to perform well on test data. As a result, overfitting and poor performance occur. To deal with this issue, we proposed a novel Consecutive Layerwise weight Constraint MaxNorm model (CLCM-net)… More >

Abstract The prime purpose for the image reconstruction of a multi-frame super-resolution is to reconstruct a higher-resolution image through incorporating the knowledge obtained from a series of relevant low-resolution images, which is useful in numerous fields. Nevertheless, super-resolution image reconstruction methods are usually damaged by undesirable restorative artifacts, which include blurring distortion, noises, and stair-casing effects. Consequently, it is always challenging to achieve balancing between image smoothness and preservation of the edges inside the image. In this research work, we seek to increase the effectiveness of multi-frame super-resolution image reconstruction by increasing the visual information and improving the automated machine perception,… More >

Abstract Link prediction has attracted wide attention among interdisciplinary researchers as an important issue in complex network. It aims to predict the missing links in current networks and new links that will appear in future networks. Despite the presence of missing links in the target network of link prediction studies, the network it processes remains macroscopically as a large connected graph. However, the complexity of the real world makes the complex networks abstracted from real systems often contain many isolated nodes. This phenomenon leads to existing link prediction methods not to efficiently implement the prediction of missing edges on isolated nodes.… More >
