Abstract Asparagus stem blight is a devastating crop disease, and the early detection of its pathogenic spores is essential for effective disease control and prevention. However, spore detection is still hindered by complex backgrounds, small target sizes, and high annotation costs, which limit its practical application and widespread adoption. To address these issues, a semi-supervised spore detection framework is proposed for use under complex background conditions. Firstly, a difficulty perception scoring function is designed to quantify the detection difficulty of each image region. For regions with higher difficulty scores, a masking strategy is applied, while the… More >

Abstract With the rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, IoT systems have been widely applied in healthcare, transportation, home, and other fields. However, with the continuous expansion of the scale and increasing complexity of IoT systems, the stability and security issues of IoT systems have become increasingly prominent. Thus, it is crucial to detect anomalies in the collected IoT time series from various sensors. Recently, deep learning models have been leveraged for IoT anomaly detection. However, owing to the challenges associated with data labeling, most IoT anomaly detection methods resort to unsupervised learning techniques.… More >

Abstract Sentiment analysis is based on the orientation of user attitudes and satisfaction towards services and subjects. Different methods and techniques have been introduced to analyze sentiments for obtaining high accuracy. The sentiment analysis accuracy depends mainly on supervised and unsupervised mechanisms. Supervised mechanisms are based on machine learning algorithms that achieve moderate or high accuracy but the manual annotation of data is considered a time-consuming process. In unsupervised mechanisms, a lexicon is constructed for storing polarity terms. The accuracy of analyzing data is considered moderate or low if the lexicon contains small terms. In addition,… More >
