Abstract Log anomaly detection is an important paradigm for system troubleshooting. Existing log anomaly detection based on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks is time-consuming to handle long sequences. Transformer model is introduced to promote efficiency. However, most existing Transformer-based log anomaly detection methods convert unstructured log messages into structured templates by log parsing, which introduces parsing errors. They only extract simple semantic feature, which ignores other features, and are generally supervised, relying on the amount of labeled data. To overcome the limitations of existing methods, this paper proposes a novel unsupervised log anomaly detection method based on multi-feature (UMFLog). UMFLog includes… More >

Abstract Globally traffic signs are used by all countries for healthier traffic flow and to protect drivers and pedestrians. Consequently, traffic signs have been of great importance for every civilized country, which makes researchers give more focus on the automatic detection of traffic signs. Detecting these traffic signs is challenging due to being in the dark, far away, partially occluded, and affected by the lighting or the presence of similar objects. An innovative traffic sign detection method for red and blue signs in color images is proposed to resolve these issues. This technique aimed to devise an efficient, robust and accurate… More >

Abstract Glaucoma is a group of ocular atrophy diseases that cause progressive vision loss by affecting the optic nerve. Because of its asymptomatic nature, glaucoma has become the leading cause of human blindness worldwide. In this paper, a novel computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) approach for glaucomatous retinal image classification has been introduced. It extracts graph-based texture features from structurally improved fundus images using discrete wavelet-transformation (DWT) and deterministic tree-walk (DTW) procedures. Retinal images are considered from both public repositories and eye hospitals. Images are enhanced with image-specific luminance and gradient transitions for both contrast and texture improvement. The enhanced images are mapped… More >

Abstract Biometrics represents the technology for measuring the characteristics of the human body. Biometric authentication currently allows for secure, easy, and fast access by recognizing a person based on facial, voice, and fingerprint traits. Iris authentication is one of the essential biometric methods for identifying a person. This authentication type has become popular in research and practical applications. Unlike the face and hands, the iris is an internal organ, protected and therefore less likely to be damaged. However, the number of helpful information collected from the iris is much greater than the other biometric human organs. This work proposes a new… More >

Abstract Learning the Markov blanket (MB) of a given variable has received increasing attention in recent years because the MB of a variable predicts its local causal relationship with other variables. Online MB Learning can learn MB for a given variable on the fly. However, in some application scenarios, such as image analysis and spam filtering, features may arrive by groups. Existing online MB learning algorithms evaluate features individually, ignoring group structure. Motivated by this, we formulate the group MB learning with streaming features problem, and propose an Online MB learning with Group Structure algorithm, OMBGS, to identify the MB of… More >

Abstract The non-invasive evaluation of the heart through EectroCardioGraphy (ECG) has played a key role in detecting heart disease. The analysis of ECG signals requires years of learning and experience to interpret and extract useful information from them. Thus, a computerized system is needed to classify ECG signals with more accurate results effectively. Abnormal heart rhythms are called arrhythmias and cause sudden cardiac deaths. In this work, a Computerized Abnormal Heart Rhythms Detection (CAHRD) system is developed using ECG signals. It consists of four stages; preprocessing, feature extraction, feature optimization and classifier. At first, Pan and Tompkins algorithm is employed to… More >

Abstract Object detection in images has been identified as a critical area of research in computer vision image processing. Research has developed several novel methods for determining an object’s location and category from an image. However, there is still room for improvement in terms of detection efficiency. This study aims to develop a technique for detecting objects in images. To enhance overall detection performance, we considered object detection a two-fold problem, including localization and classification. The proposed method generates class-independent, high-quality, and precise proposals using an agglomerative clustering technique. We then combine these proposals with the relevant input image to train… More >

Abstract PM_2.5 has a non-negligible impact on visibility and air quality as an important component of haze and can affect cloud formation and rainfall and thus change the climate, and it is an evaluation indicator of air pollution level. Achieving PM_2.5 concentration prediction based on relevant historical data mining can effectively improve air pollution forecasting ability and guide air pollution prevention and control. The past methods neglected the impact caused by PM_2.5 flow between cities when analyzing the impact of inter-city PM_2.5 concentrations, making it difficult to further improve the prediction accuracy. However, factors including geographical information such as altitude and… More >

Abstract Gait recognition is an active research area that uses a walking theme to identify the subject correctly. Human Gait Recognition (HGR) is performed without any cooperation from the individual. However, in practice, it remains a challenging task under diverse walking sequences due to the covariant factors such as normal walking and walking with wearing a coat. Researchers, over the years, have worked on successfully identifying subjects using different techniques, but there is still room for improvement in accuracy due to these covariant factors. This paper proposes an automated model-free framework for human gait recognition in this article. There are a… More >

Abstract This study is designed to develop Artificial Intelligence (AI) based analysis tool that could accurately detect COVID-19 lung infections based on portable chest x-rays (CXRs). The frontline physicians and radiologists suffer from grand challenges for COVID-19 pandemic due to the suboptimal image quality and the large volume of CXRs. In this study, AI-based analysis tools were developed that can precisely classify COVID-19 lung infection. Publicly available datasets of COVID-19 (N = 1525), non-COVID-19 normal (N = 1525), viral pneumonia (N = 1342) and bacterial pneumonia (N = 2521) from the Italian Society of Medical and Interventional Radiology (SIRM), Radiopaedia, The… More >
