Abstract Segmenting a breast ultrasound image is still challenging due to the presence of speckle noise, dependency on the operator, and the variation of image quality. This paper presents the UltraSegNet architecture that addresses these challenges through three key technical innovations: This work adds three things: (1) a changed ResNet-50 backbone with sequential 3 convolutions to keep fine anatomical details that are needed for finding lesion boundaries; (2) a computationally efficient regional attention mechanism that works on high-resolution features without using a transformer’s extra memory; and (3) an adaptive feature fusion strategy that changes local and… More >

Abstract Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, significantly impairing motor and cognitive functions. Effective rehabilitation is often hindered by the heterogeneity of stroke lesions, variability in recovery patterns, and the complexity of electroencephalography (EEG) signals, which are often contaminated by artifacts. Accurate classification of motor imagery (MI) tasks, involving the mental simulation of movements, is crucial for assessing rehabilitation strategies but is challenged by overlapping neural signatures and patient-specific variability. To address these challenges, this study introduces a graph-attentive convolutional long short-term memory (LSTM) network (GACL-Net), a novel hybrid deep learning model… More >

Abstract Accurate load forecasting forms a crucial foundation for implementing household demand response plans and optimizing load scheduling. When dealing with short-term load data characterized by substantial fluctuations, a single prediction model is hard to capture temporal features effectively, resulting in diminished prediction accuracy. In this study, a hybrid deep learning framework that integrates attention mechanism, convolution neural network (CNN), improved chaotic particle swarm optimization (ICPSO), and long short-term memory (LSTM), is proposed for short-term household load forecasting. Firstly, the CNN model is employed to extract features from the original data, enhancing the quality of data… More >

Abstract Optical image-based ship detection can ensure the safety of ships and promote the orderly management of ships in offshore waters. Current deep learning researches on optical image-based ship detection mainly focus on improving one-stage detectors for real-time ship detection but sacrifices the accuracy of detection. To solve this problem, we present a hybrid ship detection framework which is named EfficientShip in this paper. The core parts of the EfficientShip are DLA-backboned object location (DBOL) and CascadeRCNN-guided object classification (CROC). The DBOL is responsible for finding potential ship objects, and the CROC is used to categorize More >

Abstract With the advent of wireless communication and digital technology, low power, Internet-enabled, and reconfigurable wireless devices have been developed, which revolutionized day-to-day human life and the economy across the globe. These devices are realized by leveraging the features of sensing, processing the data and nodes communications. The scale of Internet-enabled wireless devices has increased daily, and these devices are exposed to various cyber-attacks. Since the complexity and dynamics of the attacks on the devices are computationally high, intelligent, scalable and high-speed intrusion detection systems (IDS) are required. Moreover, the wireless devices are battery-driven; implementing them… More >

Abstract In recent times, a huge amount of data is being created from different sources and the size of the data generated on the Internet has already surpassed two Exabytes. Big Data processing and analysis can be employed in many disciplines which can aid the decision-making process with privacy preservation of users’ private data. To store large quantity of data, Geo-Distributed Data Centres (GDDC) are developed. In recent times, several applications comprising data analytics and machine learning have been designed for GDDC. In this view, this paper presents a hybrid deep learning framework for privacy preservation… More >
