Abstract Large-scale wireless sensor networks (WSNs) play a critical role in monitoring dangerous scenarios and responding to medical emergencies. However, the inherent instability and error-prone nature of wireless links present significant challenges, necessitating efficient data collection and reliable transmission services. This paper addresses the limitations of existing data transmission and recovery protocols by proposing a systematic end-to-end design tailored for medical event-driven cluster-based large-scale WSNs. The primary goal is to enhance the reliability of data collection and transmission services, ensuring a comprehensive and practical approach. Our approach focuses on refining the hop-count-based routing scheme to achieve… More >

Abstract Multimodal sentiment analysis utilizes multimodal data such as text, facial expressions and voice to detect people’s attitudes. With the advent of distributed data collection and annotation, we can easily obtain and share such multimodal data. However, due to professional discrepancies among annotators and lax quality control, noisy labels might be introduced. Recent research suggests that deep neural networks (DNNs) will overfit noisy labels, leading to the poor performance of the DNNs. To address this challenging problem, we present a Multimodal Robust Meta Learning framework (MRML) for multimodal sentiment analysis to resist noisy labels and correlate More >

Abstract In recent years, the research field of data collection under local differential privacy (LDP) has expanded its focus from elementary data types to include more complex structural data, such as set-value and graph data. However, our comprehensive review of existing literature reveals that there needs to be more studies that engage with key-value data collection. Such studies would simultaneously collect the frequencies of keys and the mean of values associated with each key. Additionally, the allocation of the privacy budget between the frequencies of keys and the means of values for each key does not… More >

Abstract An efficient trust-aware secure routing and network strategy-based data collection scheme is presented in this paper to enhance the performance and security of wireless sensor networks during data collection. The method first discovers the routes between the data sensors and the sink node. Several factors are considered for each sensor node along the route, including energy, number of neighbours, previous transmissions, and energy depletion ratio. Considering all these variables, the Sink Reachable Support Measure and the Secure Communication Support Measure, the method evaluates two distinct measures. The method calculates the data carrier support value using… More >

Abstract The inter-class face classification problem is more reasonable than the intra-class classification problem. To address this issue, we have carried out empirical research on classifying Indian people to their geographical regions. This work aimed to construct a computational classification model for classifying Indian regional face images acquired from south and east regions of India, referring to human vision. We have created an Automated Human Intelligence System (AHIS) to evaluate human visual capabilities. Analysis of AHIS response showed that face shape is a discriminative feature among the other facial features. We have developed a modified convolutional… More >

Abstract Given the current expansion of the computer vision field, several applications that rely on extracting biometric information like facial gender for access control, security or marketing purposes are becoming more common. A typical gender classifier requires many training samples to learn as many distinguishable features as possible. However, collecting facial images from individuals is usually a sensitive task, and it might violate either an individual's privacy or a specific data privacy law. In order to bridge the gap between privacy and the need for many facial images for deep learning training, an artificially generated dataset… More >

Abstract Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks (IWSNs), especially energy resources, are scarce. Since sensor nodes are usually very dense, and the data sampled by the sensor nodes have high redundancy, data aggregation saves energy, reduces the number of transmissions, and eliminates redundancy. Many applications can be used in IIWSNs, and a new technique is introduced to detect multiple sensors embedded in different sensor nodes. Packets created by different applications have different properties. Sensors are resource-constrained devices because it is necessary to find effective reaction analysis methods and transfer sensed data to base stations. Since sensors are resource-constrained… More >
