Abstract In the video captioning methods based on an encoder-decoder, limited visual features are extracted by an encoder, and a natural sentence of the video content is generated using a decoder. However, this kind of method is dependent on a single video input source and few visual labels, and there is a problem with semantic alignment between video contents and generated natural sentences, which are not suitable for accurately comprehending and describing the video contents. To address this issue, this paper proposes a video captioning method by semantic topic-guided generation. First, a 3D convolutional neural network… 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 More >

Abstract In the emerging field of image segmentation, Fully Convolutional Networks (FCNs) have recently become prominent. However, their effectiveness is intimately linked with the correct selection and fine-tuning of hyperparameters, which can often be a cumbersome manual task. The main aim of this study is to propose a more efficient, less labour-intensive approach to hyperparameter optimization in FCNs for segmenting fundus images. To this end, our research introduces a hyperparameter-optimized Fully Convolutional Encoder-Decoder Network (FCEDN). The optimization is handled by a novel Genetic Grey Wolf Optimization (G-GWO) algorithm. This algorithm employs the Genetic Algorithm (GA) to… More >

Abstract Traffic scene captioning technology automatically generates one or more sentences to describe the content of traffic scenes by analyzing the content of the input traffic scene images, ensuring road safety while providing an important decision-making function for sustainable transportation. In order to provide a comprehensive and reasonable description of complex traffic scenes, a traffic scene semantic captioning model with multi-stage feature enhancement is proposed in this paper. In general, the model follows an encoder-decoder structure. First, multi-level granularity visual features are used for feature enhancement during the encoding process, which enables the model to learn… More >

Abstract Currently, the video captioning models based on an encoder-decoder mainly rely on a single video input source. The contents of video captioning are limited since few studies employed external corpus information to guide the generation of video captioning, which is not conducive to the accurate description and understanding of video content. To address this issue, a novel video captioning method guided by a sentence retrieval generation network (ED-SRG) is proposed in this paper. First, a ResNeXt network model, an efficient convolutional network for online video understanding (ECO) model, and a long short-term memory (LSTM) network… More >

Abstract As a current popular method, intelligent detection of cracks is of great significance to road safety, so deep learning has gradually attracted attention in the field of crack image detection. The nonlinear structure, low contrast and discontinuity of cracks bring great challenges to existing crack detection methods based on deep learning. Therefore, an end-to-end deep convolutional neural network (AttentionCrack) is proposed for automatic crack detection to overcome the inaccuracy of boundary location between crack and non-crack pixels. The AttentionCrack network is built on U-Net based encoder-decoder architecture, and an attention mechanism is incorporated into the… More >

Abstract Recently, semantic segmentation has been widely applied to image processing, scene understanding, and many others. Especially, in deep learning-based semantic segmentation, the U-Net with convolutional encoder-decoder architecture is a representative model which is proposed for image segmentation in the biomedical field. It used max pooling operation for reducing the size of image and making noise robust. However, instead of reducing the complexity of the model, max pooling has the disadvantage of omitting some information about the image in reducing it. So, this paper used two diagonal elements of down-sampling operation instead of it. We think… More >

Abstract Colorization is the practice of adding appropriate chromatic values to monochrome photographs or videos. A real-valued luminance image can be mapped to a three-dimensional color image. However, it is a severely ill-defined problem and not has a single solution. In this paper, an encoder-decoder Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model is used for colorizing gray images where the encoder is a Densely Connected Convolutional Network (DenseNet) and the decoder is a conventional CNN. The DenseNet extracts image features from gray images and the conventional CNN outputs a * b * color channels. Due to a large number of desaturated… More >

Abstract The attention-based encoder-decoder technique, known as the trans-former, is used to enhance the performance of end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR). This research focuses on applying ASR end-to-end transformer-based models for the Arabic language, as the researchers’ community pays little attention to it. The Muslims Holy Qur’an book is written using Arabic diacritized text. In this paper, an end-to-end transformer model to building a robust Qur’an vs. recognition is proposed. The acoustic model was built using the transformer-based model as deep learning by the PyTorch framework. A multi-head attention mechanism is utilized to represent the encoder and… More >

Abstract A worthy text summarization should represent the fundamental content of the document. Recent studies on computerized text summarization tried to present solutions to this challenging problem. Attention models are employed extensively in text summarization process. Classical attention techniques are utilized to acquire the context data in the decoding phase. Nevertheless, without real and efficient feature extraction, the produced summary may diverge from the core topic. In this article, we present an encoder-decoder attention system employing dual attention mechanism. In the dual attention mechanism, the attention algorithm gathers main data from the encoder side.
