Abstract Few-shot learning has emerged as a crucial technique for coral species classification, addressing the challenge of limited labeled data in underwater environments. This study introduces an optimized few-shot learning model that enhances classification accuracy while minimizing reliance on extensive data collection. The proposed model integrates a hybrid similarity measure combining Euclidean distance and cosine similarity, effectively capturing both feature magnitude and directional relationships. This approach achieves a notable accuracy of 71.8% under a 5-way 5-shot evaluation, outperforming state-of-the-art models such as Prototypical Networks, FEAT, and ESPT by up to 10%. Notably, the model demonstrates high… More >

Abstract Air quality estimation assesses the pollution level in the air, supports public health warnings, and is a valuable tool in environmental management. Although air sensors have proven helpful in this task, sensors are often expensive and difficult to install, while cameras are becoming more popular and accessible, from which images can be collected as data for deep learning models to solve the above task. This leads to another problem: several labeled images are needed to achieve high accuracy when deep-learning models predict air quality. In this research, we have three main contributions: (1) Collect and… More >

Abstract Although conventional object detection methods achieve high accuracy through extensively annotated datasets, acquiring such large-scale labeled data remains challenging and cost-prohibitive in numerous real-world applications. Few-shot object detection presents a new research idea that aims to localize and classify objects in images using only limited annotated examples. However, the inherent challenge in few-shot object detection lies in the insufficient sample diversity to fully characterize the sample feature distribution, which consequently impacts model performance. Inspired by contrastive learning principles, we propose an Implicit Feature Contrastive Learning (IFCL) module to address this limitation and augment feature diversity More >

Abstract Full ceramic bearings are mission-critical components in oil-free environments, such as food processing, semiconductor manufacturing, and medical applications. Developing effective fault diagnosis methods for these bearings is essential to ensuring operational reliability and preventing costly failures. Traditional supervised deep learning approaches have demonstrated promise in fault detection, but their dependence on large labeled datasets poses significant challenges in industrial settings where fault-labeled data is scarce. This paper introduces a few-shot learning approach for full ceramic bearing fault diagnosis by leveraging the pre-trained GPT-2 model. Large language models (LLMs) like GPT-2, pre-trained on diverse textual data,… More >

Abstract Few-shot point cloud 3D object detection (FS3D) aims to identify and locate objects of novel classes within point clouds using knowledge acquired from annotated base classes and a minimal number of samples from the novel classes. Due to imbalanced training data, existing FS3D methods based on fully supervised learning can lead to overfitting toward base classes, which impairs the network’s ability to generalize knowledge learned from base classes to novel classes and also prevents the network from extracting distinctive foreground and background representations for novel class objects. To address these issues, this thesis proposes a… More >

Abstract In the rapidly evolving landscape of natural language processing (NLP) and sentiment analysis, improving the accuracy and efficiency of sentiment classification models is crucial. This paper investigates the performance of two advanced models, the Large Language Model (LLM) LLaMA model and NLP BERT model, in the context of airline review sentiment analysis. Through fine-tuning, domain adaptation, and the application of few-shot learning, the study addresses the subtleties of sentiment expressions in airline-related text data.

Abstract This paper proposes a new approach to counter cyberattacks using the increasingly diverse malware in cyber security. Traditional signature detection methods that utilize static and dynamic features face limitations due to the continuous evolution and diversity of new malware. Recently, machine learning-based malware detection techniques, such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), have gained attention. While these methods demonstrate high performance by leveraging static and dynamic features, they are limited in detecting new malware or variants because they learn based on the characteristics of existing malware. To overcome these limitations, malware… More >

Abstract Deep Convolution Neural Networks (DCNNs) can capture discriminative features from large datasets. However, how to incrementally learn new samples without forgetting old ones and recognize novel classes that arise in the dynamically changing world, e.g., classifying newly discovered fish species, remains an open problem. We address an even more challenging and realistic setting of this problem where new class samples are insufficient, i.e., Few-Shot Class-Incremental Learning (FSCIL). Current FSCIL methods augment the training data to alleviate the overfitting of novel classes. By contrast, we propose Filter Bank Networks (FBNs) that augment the learnable filters to… More >

Abstract The diagnosis of eye disease through deep learning (DL) technology is the latest trend in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Especially in diagnosing pathologic myopia (PM) lesions, the implementation of DL is a difficult task because of the classification complexity and definition system of PM. However, it is possible to design an AI-based technique that can identify PM automatically and help doctors make relevant decisions. To achieve this objective, it is important to have adequate resources such as a high-quality PM image dataset and an expert team. The primary aim of this research is… More >

Abstract At present, deep learning has been well applied in many fields. However, due to the high complexity of hypothesis space, numerous training samples are usually required to ensure the reliability of minimizing experience risk. Therefore, training a classifier with a small number of training examples is a challenging task. From a biological point of view, based on the assumption that rich prior knowledge and analogical association should enable human beings to quickly distinguish novel things from a few or even one example, we proposed a dynamic analogical association algorithm to make the model use only More >
