Abstract Much like humans focus solely on object movement to understand actions, directing a deep learning model’s attention to the core contexts within videos is crucial for improving video comprehension. In the recent study, Video Masked Auto-Encoder (VideoMAE) employs a pre-training approach with a high ratio of tube masking and reconstruction, effectively mitigating spatial bias due to temporal redundancy in full video frames. This steers the model’s focus toward detailed temporal contexts. However, as the VideoMAE still relies on full video frames during the action recognition stage, it may exhibit a progressive shift in attention towards spatial contexts, deteriorating its ability… More >

Abstract What causes object detection in video to be less accurate than it is in still images? Because some video frames have degraded in appearance from fast movement, out-of-focus camera shots, and changes in posture. These reasons have made video object detection (VID) a growing area of research in recent years. Video object detection can be used for various healthcare applications, such as detecting and tracking tumors in medical imaging, monitoring the movement of patients in hospitals and long-term care facilities, and analyzing videos of surgeries to improve technique and training. Additionally, it can be used in telemedicine to help diagnose… More >

Abstract Sentence classification is the process of categorizing a sentence based on the context of the sentence. Sentence categorization requires more semantic highlights than other tasks, such as dependence parsing, which requires more syntactic elements. Most existing strategies focus on the general semantics of a conversation without involving the context of the sentence, recognizing the progress and comparing impacts. An ensemble pre-trained language model was taken up here to classify the conversation sentences from the conversation corpus. The conversational sentences are classified into four categories: information, question, directive, and commission. These classification label sequences are for analyzing the conversation progress and… More >

Abstract The precise and automatic segmentation of prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images is vital for assisting doctors in diagnosing prostate diseases. In recent years, many advanced methods have been applied to prostate segmentation, but due to the variability caused by prostate diseases, automatic segmentation of the prostate presents significant challenges. In this paper, we propose an attention-guided multi-scale feature fusion network (AGMSF-Net) to segment prostate MRI images. We propose an attention mechanism for extracting multi-scale features, and introduce a 3D transformer module to enhance global feature representation by adding it during the transition phase from encoder to decoder. In the… More >

Abstract With a further increase in energy flexibility for customers, short-term load forecasting is essential to provide benchmarks for economic dispatch and real-time alerts in power grids. The electrical load series exhibit periodic patterns and share high associations with metrological data. However, current studies have merely focused on point-wise models and failed to sufficiently investigate the periodic patterns of load series, which hinders the further improvement of short-term load forecasting accuracy. Therefore, this paper improved Autoformer to extract the periodic patterns of load series and learn a representative feature from deep decomposition and reconstruction. In addition, a novel multi-factor attention mechanism… More >

Abstract As the global population continues to expand, the demand for natural resources increases. Unfortunately, human activities account for 23% of greenhouse gas emissions. On a positive note, remote sensing technologies have emerged as a valuable tool in managing our environment. These technologies allow us to monitor land use, plan urban areas, and drive advancements in areas such as agriculture, climate change mitigation, disaster recovery, and environmental monitoring. Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI), computer vision, and earth observation data have enabled unprecedented accuracy in land use mapping. By using transfer learning and fine-tuning with red-green-blue (RGB) bands, we achieved an… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Urban sewer pipes are a vital infrastructure in modern cities, and their defects must be detected in time to prevent potential malfunctioning. In recent years, to relieve the manual efforts by human experts, models based on deep learning have been introduced to automatically identify potential defects. However, these models are insufficient in terms of dataset complexity, model versatility and performance. Our work addresses these issues with a multi-stage defect detection architecture using a composite backbone Swin Transformer. The model based on this architecture is trained using a more comprehensive dataset containing more classes of defects. By ablation studies on the… More >

Abstract Recently, deep learning-based image inpainting methods have made great strides in reconstructing damaged regions. However, these methods often struggle to produce satisfactory results when dealing with missing images with large holes, leading to distortions in the structure and blurring of textures. To address these problems, we combine the advantages of transformers and convolutions to propose an image inpainting method that incorporates edge priors and attention mechanisms. The proposed method aims to improve the results of inpainting large holes in images by enhancing the accuracy of structure restoration and the ability to recover texture details. This method divides the inpainting task… More >

Abstract Text summarization aims to generate a concise version of the original text. The longer the summary text is, the more detailed it will be from the original text, and this depends on the intended use. Therefore, the problem of generating summary texts with desired lengths is a vital task to put the research into practice. To solve this problem, in this paper, we propose a new method to integrate the desired length of the summarized text into the encoder-decoder model for the abstractive text summarization problem. This length parameter is integrated into the encoding phase at each self-attention step and… More >
