This paper proposes to rectify the errors using BP neural network. As BP neural network is prone to getting into local extrema and convergence is slow, genetic algorithm is employed to optimize the initial weights and threshold of neural network. This paper discusses how to set the crucial parameters in the algorithm. Experimental results show that the method ensures that the neural network achieves global convergence quickly and correctly. Tracking precision of AR system is improved after the tracker is rectified, and the third dimension of AR system is enhanced.展开更多

As one of the most important tasks in augmented scene modeling, terrain simplification research has gained more and more attention. In this paper, we mainly focus on point selection problem in terrain simplification using triangulated irregular network. Based on the analysis and comparison of traditional importance measures for each input point, we put forward a new importance measure based on local entropy. The results demonstrate that the local entropy criterion has a better performance than any traditional methods. In addition, it can effectively conquer the 'short-sight' problem associated with the traditional methods.展开更多

The system to achieve better quality in the educational system is to find the knowledge from educational data and to discover the attributes that manipulate the performance of students. Student performance prediction is a major issue in education and training, specifically in the educational data mining system. This research presents the student performance prediction approach with the MapReduce framework based on the proposed fractional competitive multi-verse optimization-based deep neuro-fuzzy network. The proposed fractional competitive multi-verse optimization-based deep neuro-fuzzy network is derived by integrating fractional calculus with competitive multi-verse optimization. The MapReduce framework is designed with the mapper and the reducer phase to perform the student performance prediction mechanism with the deep learning classifier. The input data is partitioned at the mapper phase to perform the data transformation process, and thereby the features are selected using the distance measure. The selected unique features are employed for the data segmentation process, and thereafter the prediction strategy is accomplished at the reducer phase by the deep neuro-fuzzy network classifier. The proposed method obtained the performance in terms of mean square error, root mean square error and mean absolute error with the values of 0.338 3, 0.581 7, and 0.391 5, respectively.展开更多

To address these issues, we first develop a mathematical model to explore how changing receptive fields impacts the polynomial fitting results. Subsequently, based on the obtained conclusions, we propose a simple but effective Hybrid Receptive Field Network (HRFNet), whose modules include Hybrid Feature Augmentation (HFA), Hybrid Feature Pyramid (HFP) and Dual Scale Head (DSH). Specifically, HFA employs parallel dilated convolution kernels of different sizes to extend shallow features with different receptive fields, committed to improving the multi-scale adaptability of the network;HFP enhances the perception of small objects by capturing contextual information across layers, while DSH reconstructs the original prediction head utilizing a set of high-resolution features and ultrahigh-resolution features. In addition, in order to train HRFNet, the corresponding dual-scale loss function is designed. Finally, comprehensive evaluation results on public benchmarks such as VisDrone-DET and TinyPerson demonstrate the robustness of the proposed method. Most impressively, the proposed HRFNet achieves a mAP of 51.0 on VisDrone-DET with 29.3 M parameters, which outperforms the extant state-of-the-art detectors. HRFNet also performs excellently in complex scenarios captured by drones, achieving the best performance on the CS-Drone dataset we built.展开更多

文摘Augmented reality is the merging of synthetic sensory information into a user's perception of a real environment. As one of the most important tasks in augmented scene modeling, terrain simplification research has gained more and more attention. In this paper, we mainly focus on point selection problem in terrain simplification using triangulated irregular network. Based on the analysis and comparison of traditional importance measures for each input point, we put forward a new importance measure based on local entropy. The results demonstrate that the local entropy criterion has a better performance than any traditional methods. In addition, it can effectively conquer the 'short-sight' problem associated with the traditional methods.

文摘Mechanically cleaved two-dimensional materials are random in size and thickness.Recognizing atomically thin flakes by human experts is inefficient and unsuitable for scalable production.Deep learning algorithms have been adopted as an alternative,nevertheless a major challenge is a lack of sufficient actual training images.Here we report the generation of synthetic two-dimensional materials images using StyleGAN3 to complement the dataset.DeepLabv3Plus network is trained with the synthetic images which reduces overfitting and improves recognition accuracy to over 90%.A semi-supervisory technique for labeling images is introduced to reduce manual efforts.The sharper edges recognized by this method facilitate material stacking with precise edge alignment,which benefits exploring novel properties of layered-material devices that crucially depend on the interlayer twist-angle.This feasible and efficient method allows for the rapid and high-quality manufacturing of atomically thin materials and devices.
文摘Existing segmentation and augmentation techniques on convolutional neural network(CNN)has produced remarkable progress in object detection.However,the nominal accuracy and performance might be downturned with the photometric variation of images that are directly ignored in the training process,along with the context of the individual CNN algorithm.In this paper,we investigate the effect of a photometric variation like brightness and sharpness on different CNN.We observe that random augmentation of images weakens the performance unless the augmentation combines the weak limits of photometric variation.Our approach has been justified by the experimental result obtained from the PASCAL VOC 2007 dataset,with object detection CNN algorithms such as YOLOv3(You Only Look Once),Faster R-CNN(Region-based CNN),and SSD(Single Shot Multibox Detector).Each CNN model shows performance loss for varying sharpness and brightness,ranging between−80%to 80%.It was further shown that compared to random augmentation,the augmented dataset with weak photometric changes delivered high performance,but the photometric augmentation range differs for each model.Concurrently,we discuss some research questions that benefit the direction of the study.The results prove the importance of adaptive augmentation for individual CNN model,subjecting towards the robustness of object detection.
文摘The main aim of an educational institute is to offer high-quality education to students. The system to achieve better quality in the educational system is to find the knowledge from educational data and to discover the attributes that manipulate the performance of students. Student performance prediction is a major issue in education and training, specifically in the educational data mining system. This research presents the student performance prediction approach with the MapReduce framework based on the proposed fractional competitive multi-verse optimization-based deep neuro-fuzzy network. The proposed fractional competitive multi-verse optimization-based deep neuro-fuzzy network is derived by integrating fractional calculus with competitive multi-verse optimization. The MapReduce framework is designed with the mapper and the reducer phase to perform the student performance prediction mechanism with the deep learning classifier. The input data is partitioned at the mapper phase to perform the data transformation process, and thereby the features are selected using the distance measure. The selected unique features are employed for the data segmentation process, and thereafter the prediction strategy is accomplished at the reducer phase by the deep neuro-fuzzy network classifier. The proposed method obtained the performance in terms of mean square error, root mean square error and mean absolute error with the values of 0.338 3, 0.581 7, and 0.391 5, respectively.
文摘With the development of artificial intelligence-related technologies such as deep learning,various organizations,including the government,are making various efforts to generate and manage big data for use in artificial intelligence.However,it is difficult to acquire big data due to various social problems and restrictions such as personal information leakage.There are many problems in introducing technology in fields that do not have enough training data necessary to apply deep learning technology.Therefore,this study proposes a mixed contour data augmentation technique,which is a data augmentation technique using contour images,to solve a problem caused by a lack of data.ResNet,a famous convolutional neural network(CNN)architecture,and CIFAR-10,a benchmark data set,are used for experimental performance evaluation to prove the superiority of the proposed method.And to prove that high performance improvement can be achieved even with a small training dataset,the ratio of the training dataset was divided into 70%,50%,and 30%for comparative analysis.As a result of applying the mixed contour data augmentation technique,it was possible to achieve a classification accuracy improvement of up to 4.64%and high accuracy even with a small amount of data set.In addition,it is expected that the mixed contour data augmentation technique can be applied in various fields by proving the excellence of the proposed data augmentation technique using benchmark datasets.
文摘Sarcasm detection in text data is an increasingly vital area of research due to the prevalence of sarcastic content in online communication.This study addresses challenges associated with small datasets and class imbalances in sarcasm detection by employing comprehensive data pre-processing and Generative Adversial Network(GAN)based augmentation on diverse datasets,including iSarcasm,SemEval-18,and Ghosh.This research offers a novel pipeline for augmenting sarcasm data with Reverse Generative Adversarial Network(RGAN).The proposed RGAN method works by inverting labels between original and synthetic data during the training process.This inversion of labels provides feedback to the generator for generating high-quality data closely resembling the original distribution.Notably,the proposed RGAN model exhibits performance on par with standard GAN,showcasing its robust efficacy in augmenting text data.The exploration of various datasets highlights the nuanced impact of augmentation on model performance,with cautionary insights into maintaining a delicate balance between synthetic and original data.The methodological framework encompasses comprehensive data pre-processing and GAN-based augmentation,with a meticulous comparison against Natural Language Processing Augmentation(NLPAug)as an alternative augmentation technique.Overall,the F1-score of our proposed technique outperforms that of the synonym replacement augmentation technique using NLPAug.The increase in F1-score in experiments using RGAN ranged from 0.066%to 1.054%,and the use of standard GAN resulted in a 2.88%increase in F1-score.The proposed RGAN model outperformed the NLPAug method and demonstrated comparable performance to standard GAN,emphasizing its efficacy in text data augmentation.

文摘Drone-based small object detection is of great significance in practical applications such as military actions, disaster rescue, transportation, etc. However, the severe scale differences in objects captured by drones and lack of detail information for small-scale objects make drone-based small object detection a formidable challenge. To address these issues, we first develop a mathematical model to explore how changing receptive fields impacts the polynomial fitting results. Subsequently, based on the obtained conclusions, we propose a simple but effective Hybrid Receptive Field Network (HRFNet), whose modules include Hybrid Feature Augmentation (HFA), Hybrid Feature Pyramid (HFP) and Dual Scale Head (DSH). Specifically, HFA employs parallel dilated convolution kernels of different sizes to extend shallow features with different receptive fields, committed to improving the multi-scale adaptability of the network;HFP enhances the perception of small objects by capturing contextual information across layers, while DSH reconstructs the original prediction head utilizing a set of high-resolution features and ultrahigh-resolution features. In addition, in order to train HRFNet, the corresponding dual-scale loss function is designed. Finally, comprehensive evaluation results on public benchmarks such as VisDrone-DET and TinyPerson demonstrate the robustness of the proposed method. Most impressively, the proposed HRFNet achieves a mAP of 51.0 on VisDrone-DET with 29.3 M parameters, which outperforms the extant state-of-the-art detectors. HRFNet also performs excellently in complex scenarios captured by drones, achieving the best performance on the CS-Drone dataset we built.

文摘Rainfall-induced shallow landslides pose one of significant geological hazards,necessitating precise monitoring and prediction for effective disaster mitigation.Most studies on landslide prediction have focused on optimizing machine learning(ML)algorithms,very limited attention has been paid to enhancing data quality for improved predictive performance.This study employs strategic data augmentation(DA)techniques to enhance the accuracy of shallow landslide prediction.Using five DA methods including singular spectrum analysis(SSA),moving averages(MA),wavelet denoising(WD),variational mode decomposition(VMD),and linear interpolation(LI),we utilize strategies such as smoothing,denoising,trend decomposition,and synthetic data generation to improve the training dataset.Four machine learning algorithms,i.e.artificial neural network(ANN),recurrent neural network(RNN),one-dimensional convolutional neural network(CNN1D),and long short-term memory(LSTM),are used to forecast landslide displacement.The case study of a landslide in southwest China shows the effectiveness of our approach in predicting landslide displacements,despite the inherent limitations of the monitoring dataset.VMD proves the most effective for smoothing and denoising,improving R^(2),RMSE,and MAPE by 172.16%,71.82%,and 98.9%,respectively.SSA addresses missing data,while LI is effective with limited data samples,improving metrics by 21.6%,52.59%,and 47.87%,respectively.This study demonstrates the potential of DA techniques to mitigate the impact of data defects on landslide prediction accuracy,with implications for similar cases.

文摘Supervised learning classification has arisen as a powerful tool to perform data-driven fault diagnosis in dynamical systems,achieving astonishing results.This approach assumes the availability of extensive,diverse and labeled data corpora for train-ing.However,in some applications it may be difficult or not feasible to obtain a large and balanced dataset including enough representative instances of the fault behaviors of interest.This fact leads to the issues of data scarcity and class imbalance,greatly affecting the performance of supervised learning classifiers.Datasets from railway systems are usually both,scarce and imbalanced,turning supervised learning-based fault diagnosis into a highly challenging task.This article addresses time-series data augmentation for fault diagnosis purposes and presents two application cases in the context of railway track.The case studies employ generative adversarial networks(GAN)schemes to produce realistic synthetic samples of geometrical and structural track defects.The goal is to generate samples that enhance fault diagnosis performance;therefore,major attention was paid not only in the generation process,but also in the synthesis quality assessment,to guarantee the suitability of the samples for training of supervised learning classification models.In the first application,a convolutional classifier achieved a test accuracy of 87.5%for the train on synthetic,test on real(TSTR)scenario,while,in the second application,a fully-connected classifier achieved 96.18%in test accuracy for TSTR.The results indicate that the proposed augmentation approach produces samples having equivalent statistical characteristics and leading to a similar classification behavior as real data.

文摘Developing an accurate and efficient comprehensive water quality prediction model and its assessment method is crucial for the prevention and control of water pollution.Deep learning(DL),as one of the most promising technologies today,plays a crucial role in the effective assessment of water body health,which is essential for water resource management.This study models using both the original dataset and a dataset augmented with Generative Adversarial Networks(GAN).It integrates optimization algorithms(OA)with Convolutional Neural Networks(CNN)to propose a comprehensive water quality model evaluation method aiming at identifying the optimal models for different pollutants.Specifically,after preprocessing the spectral dataset,data augmentation was conducted to obtain two datasets.Then,six new models were developed on these datasets using particle swarm optimization(PSO),genetic algorithm(GA),and simulated annealing(SA)combined with CNN to simulate and forecast the concentrations of three water pollutants:Chemical Oxygen Demand(COD),Total Nitrogen(TN),and Total Phosphorus(TP).Finally,seven model evaluation methods,including uncertainty analysis,were used to evaluate the constructed models and select the optimal models for the three pollutants.The evaluation results indicate that the GPSCNN model performed best in predicting COD and TP concentrations,while the GGACNN model excelled in TN concentration prediction.Compared to existing technologies,the proposed models and evaluation methods provide a more comprehensive and rapid approach to water body prediction and assessment,offering new insights and methods for water pollution prevention and control.
