Abstract With the proliferation of the internet, big data continues to grow exponentially, and video has become the largest source. Video big data introduces many technological challenges, including compression, storage, transmission, analysis, and recognition. The increase in the number of multimedia resources has brought an urgent need to develop intelligent methods to organize and process them. The integration between Semantic link Networks and multimedia resources provides a new prospect for organizing them with their semantics. The tags and surrounding texts of multimedia resources are used to measure their semantic association. Two evaluation methods including clustering and retrieval are performed to measure… More >

Abstract Currently, the decision of aortic valve replacement surgery time for asymptomatic patients with moderate-to-severe aortic stenosis (AS) is made by healthcare professionals based on the patient’s clinical biometric records. A delay in surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) can potentially affect patients’ quality of life. By using ML algorithms, this study aims to predict the optimal SAVR timing and determine the enhancement in moderate-to-severe AS patient survival following surgery. This study represents a novel approach that has the potential to improve decision-making and, ultimately, improve patient outcomes. We analyze data from 176 patients with moderate-to-severe aortic stenosis who had undergone or… More >

Abstract The main function of the power communication business is to monitor, control and manage the power communication network to ensure normal and stable operation of the power communication network. Communication services related to dispatching data networks and the transmission of fault information or feeder automation have high requirements for delay. If processing time is prolonged, a power business cascade reaction may be triggered. In order to solve the above problems, this paper establishes an edge object-linked agent business deployment model for power communication network to unify the management of data collection, resource allocation and task scheduling within the system, realizes… More >

Abstract With the full development of disk-resident databases (DRDB) in recent years, it is widely used in business and transactional applications. In long-term use, some problems of disk databases are gradually exposed. For applications with high real-time requirements, the performance of using disk database is not satisfactory. In the context of the booming development of the Internet of things, domestic real-time databases have also gradually developed. Still, most of them only support the storage, processing, and analysis of data values with fewer data types, which can not fully meet the current industrial process control system data types, complex sources, fast update… More >

Abstract In the deep learning approach for identifying plant diseases, the high complexity of the network model, the large number of parameters, and great computational effort make it challenging to deploy the model on terminal devices with limited computational resources. In this study, a lightweight method for plant diseases identification that is an improved version of the ShuffleNetV2 model is proposed. In the proposed model, the depthwise convolution in the basic module of ShuffleNetV2 is replaced with mixed depthwise convolution to capture crop pest images with different resolutions; the efficient channel attention module is added into the ShuffleNetV2 model network structure… More >

Abstract Infrared target detection models are more required than ever before to be deployed on embedded platforms, which requires models with less memory consumption and better real-time performance while considering accuracy. To address the above challenges, we propose a modified You Only Look Once (YOLO) algorithm PF-YOLOv4-Tiny. The algorithm incorporates spatial pyramidal pooling (SPP) and squeeze-and-excitation (SE) visual attention modules to enhance the target localization capability. The PANet-based-feature pyramid networks (P-FPN) are proposed to transfer semantic information and location information simultaneously to ameliorate detection accuracy. To lighten the network, the standard convolutions other than the backbone network are replaced with depthwise… More >

Abstract Type 2 diabetes patients often suffer from microvascular complications of diabetes. These complications, in turn, often lead to vision impairment. Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) detection in its early stage can rescue people from long-term complications that could lead to permanent blindness. In this study, we propose a complex deep convolutional neural network architecture with an inception module for automated diagnosis of DR. The proposed novel Hybrid Inception U-Net (HIUNET) comprises various inception modules connected in the U-Net fashion using activation maximization and filter map to produce the image mask. First, inception blocks were used to enlarge the model’s width by substituting… More >

Abstract In the current context, a smart grid has replaced the conventional grid through intelligent energy management, integration of renewable energy sources (RES) and two-way communication infrastructures from power generation to distribution. Energy management from the distribution side is a critical problem for balancing load demand. A unique energy management strategy (EMS) is being developed for office building equipment. That includes renewable energy integration, automation, and control based on the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) system using Matlab Simulink. This strategy reduces electric power consumption and balances the load demand of the traditional grid. This strategy is developed by taking inputs from… More >

Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) has aided in the development of new products and services. Due to the heterogeneity of IoT items and networks, traditional techniques cannot identify network risks. Rule-based solutions make it challenging to secure and manage IoT devices and services due to their diversity. While the use of artificial intelligence eliminates the need to define rules, the training and retraining processes require additional processing power. This study proposes a methodology for analyzing constrained devices in IoT environments. We examined the relationship between different sized samples from the Kitsune dataset to simulate the Mirai attack on IoT devices.… More >

Abstract Meteorological model tasks require considerable meteorological basis data to support their execution. However, if the task and the meteorological datasets are located on different clouds, that enhances the cost, execution time, and energy consumption of execution meteorological tasks. Therefore, the data layout and task scheduling may work together in the meteorological cloud to avoid being in various locations. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper that tries to schedule meteorological tasks with the help of the meteorological data set layout. First, we use the FP-Growth-M (frequent-pattern growth for meteorological model datasets) method to mine the relationship… More >
