    Yuejiao Wang, Zhong Ma, Chaojie Yang, Yu Yang, Lu Wei
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.79, No.1, pp. 819-836, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.047108

    Abstract The quantization algorithm compresses the original network by reducing the numerical bit width of the model, which improves the computation speed. Because different layers have different redundancy and sensitivity to data bit width. Reducing the data bit width will result in a loss of accuracy. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the optimal bit width for different parts of the network with guaranteed accuracy. Mixed precision quantization can effectively reduce the amount of computation while keeping the model accuracy basically unchanged. In this paper, a hardware-aware mixed precision quantization strategy optimal assignment algorithm adapted to low bit width is proposed,… More >

    Contrastive Consistency and Attentive Complementarity for Deep Multi-View Subspace Clustering

    Jiao Wang, Bin Wu, Hongying Zhang
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.79, No.1, pp. 143-160, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.046011

    Abstract Deep multi-view subspace clustering (DMVSC) based on self-expression has attracted increasing attention due to its outstanding performance and nonlinear application. However, most existing methods neglect that view-private meaningless information or noise may interfere with the learning of self-expression, which may lead to the degeneration of clustering performance. In this paper, we propose a novel framework of Contrastive Consistency and Attentive Complementarity (CCAC) for DMVsSC. CCAC aligns all the self-expressions of multiple views and fuses them based on their discrimination, so that it can effectively explore consistent and complementary information for achieving precise clustering. Specifically, the view-specific self-expression is learned by… More >

    Abstract Transformer-based stereo image super-resolution reconstruction (Stereo SR) methods have significantly improved image quality. However, existing methods have deficiencies in paying attention to detailed features and do not consider the offset of pixels along the epipolar lines in complementary views when integrating stereo information. To address these challenges, this paper introduces a novel epipolar line window attention stereo image super-resolution network (EWASSR). For detail feature restoration, we design a feature extractor based on Transformer and convolutional neural network (CNN), which consists of (shifted) window-based self-attention ((S)W-MSA) and feature distillation and enhancement blocks (FDEB). This combination effectively solves the problem of global… More >

    Abstract Flexible job shop scheduling problem (FJSP) is the core decision-making problem of intelligent manufacturing production management. The Harris hawk optimization (HHO) algorithm, as a typical metaheuristic algorithm, has been widely employed to solve scheduling problems. However, HHO suffers from premature convergence when solving NP-hard problems. Therefore, this paper proposes an improved HHO algorithm (GNHHO) to solve the FJSP. GNHHO introduces an elitism strategy, a chaotic mechanism, a nonlinear escaping energy update strategy, and a Gaussian random walk strategy to prevent premature convergence. A flexible job shop scheduling model is constructed, and the static and dynamic FJSP is investigated to minimize… More >

    Dan Xu, Jiale Ru, Jinlong Shi
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.78, No.1, pp. 85-104, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.045258
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Development and Industrial Application of AI Technologies)
    Abstract Video salient object detection (VSOD) aims at locating the most attractive objects in a video by exploring the spatial and temporal features. VSOD poses a challenging task in computer vision, as it involves processing complex spatial data that is also influenced by temporal dynamics. Despite the progress made in existing VSOD models, they still struggle in scenes of great background diversity within and between frames. Additionally, they encounter difficulties related to accumulated noise and high time consumption during the extraction of temporal features over a long-term duration. We propose a multi-stream temporal enhanced network (MSTENet) to address these problems. It… More >

    Abstract Some reconstruction-based anomaly detection models in multivariate time series have brought impressive performance advancements but suffer from weak generalization ability and a lack of anomaly identification. These limitations can result in the misjudgment of models, leading to a degradation in overall detection performance. This paper proposes a novel transformer-like anomaly detection model adopting a contrastive learning module and a memory block (CLME) to overcome the above limitations. The contrastive learning module tailored for time series data can learn the contextual relationships to generate temporal fine-grained representations. The memory block can record normal patterns of these representations through the utilization of… More >
