Abstract Arrière-plan: L’information sur la possibilité de rédiger des Directives Anticipées (DA) est une nécessité et représente un enjeu majeur sur les plans médical, éthique, légal. Les difficultés sont nombreuses, organisationnelles ou culturelles, et c’est aussi vrai dans l’univers de la cancérologie, où les DA (et plus largement les discussions anticipées) revêtent une importance cruciale. Sujet éminemment sensible, l’abord des DA (donc d’une réflexion sur la fin de vie) nécessite un travail d’acculturation à la fois sociétale et médico-soignante. Une démarche institutionnelle a donc été élaborée, dans l’objectif d’un déploiement d’outils d’information, de formation des professionnels,… More >

Abstract In video surveillance, anomaly detection requires training machine learning models on spatio-temporal video sequences. However, sometimes the video-only data is not sufficient to accurately detect all the abnormal activities. Therefore, we propose a novel audio-visual spatiotemporal autoencoder specifically designed to detect anomalies for video surveillance by utilizing audio data along with video data. This paper presents a competitive approach to a multi-modal recurrent neural network for anomaly detection that combines separate spatial and temporal autoencoders to leverage both spatial and temporal features in audio-visual data. The proposed model is trained to produce low reconstruction error… More >

Abstract User identity linkage (UIL) refers to identifying user accounts belonging to the same identity across different social media platforms. Most of the current research is based on text analysis, which fails to fully explore the rich image resources generated by users, and the existing attempts touch on the multimodal domain, but still face the challenge of semantic differences between text and images. Given this, we investigate the UIL task across different social media platforms based on multimodal user-generated contents (UGCs). We innovatively introduce the efficient user identity linkage via aligned multi-modal features and temporal correlation… More >

Abstract Since the 1950s, when the Turing Test was introduced, there has been notable progress in machine language intelligence. Language modeling, crucial for AI development, has evolved from statistical to neural models over the last two decades. Recently, transformer-based Pre-trained Language Models (PLM) have excelled in Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks by leveraging large-scale training corpora. Increasing the scale of these models enhances performance significantly, introducing abilities like context learning that smaller models lack. The advancement in Large Language Models, exemplified by the development of ChatGPT, has made significant impacts both academically and industrially, capturing widespread… More >

Abstract Multi-modal histological image registration tasks pose significant challenges due to tissue staining operations causing partial loss and folding of tissue. Convolutional neural network (CNN) and generative adversarial network (GAN) are pivotal in medical image registration. However, existing methods often struggle with severe interference and deformation, as seen in histological images of conditions like Cushing’s disease. We argue that the failure of current approaches lies in underutilizing the feature extraction capability of the discriminator in GAN. In this study, we propose a novel multi-modal registration approach GAN-DIRNet based on GAN for deformable histological image registration. To… More >

Abstract Fine-grained recognition of ships based on remote sensing images is crucial to safeguarding maritime rights and interests and maintaining national security. Currently, with the emergence of massive high-resolution multi-modality images, the use of multi-modality images for fine-grained recognition has become a promising technology. Fine-grained recognition of multi-modality images imposes higher requirements on the dataset samples. The key to the problem is how to extract and fuse the complementary features of multi-modality images to obtain more discriminative fusion features. The attention mechanism helps the model to pinpoint the key information in the image, resulting in a… More >

Abstract In practical engineering, multi-objective optimization often encounters situations where multiple Pareto sets (PS) in the decision space correspond to the same Pareto front (PF) in the objective space, known as Multi-Modal Multi-Objective Optimization Problems (MMOP). Locating multiple equivalent global PSs poses a significant challenge in real-world applications, especially considering the existence of local PSs. Effectively identifying and locating both global and local PSs is a major challenge. To tackle this issue, we introduce an immune-inspired reproduction strategy designed to produce more offspring in less crowded, promising regions and regulate the number of offspring in areas… More >

Abstract Cross-lingual image description, the task of generating image captions in a target language from images and descriptions in a source language, is addressed in this study through a novel approach that combines neural network models and semantic matching techniques. Experiments conducted on the Flickr8k and AraImg2k benchmark datasets, featuring images and descriptions in English and Arabic, showcase remarkable performance improvements over state-of-the-art methods. Our model, equipped with the Image & Cross-Language Semantic Matching module and the Target Language Domain Evaluation module, significantly enhances the semantic relevance of generated image descriptions.

Abstract As digital technologies have advanced more rapidly, the number of paper documents recently converted into a digital format has exponentially increased. To respond to the urgent need to categorize the growing number of digitized documents, the classification of digitized documents in real time has been identified as the primary goal of our study. A paper classification is the first stage in automating document control and efficient knowledge discovery with no or little human involvement. Artificial intelligence methods such as Deep Learning are now combined with segmentation to study and interpret those traits, which were not… More >

Abstract With the explosive growth of false information on social media platforms, the automatic detection of multimodal false information has received increasing attention. Recent research has significantly contributed to multimodal information exchange and fusion, with many methods attempting to integrate unimodal features to generate multimodal news representations. However, they still need to fully explore the hierarchical and complex semantic correlations between different modal contents, severely limiting their performance detecting multimodal false information. This work proposes a two-stage detection framework for multimodal false information detection, called ASMFD, which is based on image aesthetic similarity to segment and… More >
