文摘Bird species classification is not only a challenging topic in artificial intelligence but also a domain closely related to environmental protection and ecological research.Additionally,performing edge computing on low-level devices using small neural networks can be an important research direction.In this paper,we use the EfficientNetV2B0 model for bird species classification,applying transfer learning on a dataset of 525 bird species.We also employ the BiRefNet model to remove backgrounds from images in the training set.The generated background-removed images are mixed with the original training set as a form of data augmentation.We aim for these background-removed images to help the model focus on key features,and by combining data augmentation with transfer learning,we trained a highly accurate and efficient bird species classification model.The training process is divided into a transfer learning stage and a fine-tuning stage.In the transfer learning stage,only the newly added custom layers are trained;while in the fine-tuning stage,all pre-trained layers except for the batch normalization layers are fine-tuned.According to the experimental results,the proposed model not only has an advantage in size compared to other models but also outperforms them in various metrics.The training results show that the proposed model achieved an accuracy of 99.54%and a precision of 99.62%,demonstrating that it achieves both lightweight design and high accuracy.To confirm the credibility of the results,we use heatmaps to interpret the model.The heatmaps show that our model can clearly highlight the image feature area.In addition,we also perform the 10-fold cross-validation on the model to verify its credibility.Finally,this paper proposes a model with low training cost and high accuracy,making it suitable for deployment on edge computing devices to provide lighter and more convenient services.

文摘Aiming at the problems such as low throughput and unbalanced load of data center network caused by traditional multipath routing strategy,a dynamic load balancing strategy for flow classification oriented to Fat-Tree topology based on the software defined network(SDN)architecture is proposed,named DLB-FC.Multi-index evaluation methods such as link state information and network traffic characteristics are considered.DLB-FC mechanism can dynamically adjust the flow classification threshold to differentiate between large and small flows.The scheme selects different forwarding paths to meet the transmission performance requirements of different flow characteristics.On this basis,an SDN simulation platform is built for performance testing.The simulation results show that DLB-FC algorithm can dynamically distinguish large flows from small flows and achieve load balancing effectively.Compared with equal-cost multi-path(ECMP),global first fit(GFF)and minmum total delay load routing(MTDLR)algorithms,DLB-FC scheme improves the network throughput and link utilization of the data center network effectively.The transmission delay is also reduced with better load balance.
文摘Crop phenotyping plays a critical role in precision agriculture by enabling the accurate assessment of plant traits,supporting improved crop management,breeding programs,and yield optimization.However,cowpea leaves present unique challenges for automated phenotyping due to their diverse shapes,complex vein structures,and variations caused by environmental conditions.This research presents a deep learning-based approach for the classification of cowpea leaf images to support crop phenotyping tasks.Given the limited availability of annotated datasets,data augmentation techniques were employed to artificially expand the original small dataset while preserving essential leaf characteristics.Various image processing methods were applied to enrich the dataset,ensuring better feature representation without significant information loss.A deep neural network,specifically the MobileNet architecture,was utilized for its efficiency in capturing multi-scale features and handling image data with limited computational resources.The performance of the model trained on the augmented dataset was evaluated,achieving an accuracy of 94.12%on the cowpea leaf classification task.These results demonstrate the effectiveness of data augmentation in enhancing model generalization and learning capabilities.
文摘Medical image classification is crucial in disease diagnosis,treatment planning,and clinical decisionmaking.We introduced a novel medical image classification approach that integrates Bayesian Random Semantic Data Augmentation(BSDA)with a Vision Mamba-based model for medical image classification(MedMamba),enhanced by residual connection blocks,we named the model BSDA-Mamba.BSDA augments medical image data semantically,enhancing the model’s generalization ability and classification performance.MedMamba,a deep learning-based state space model,excels in capturing long-range dependencies in medical images.By incorporating residual connections,BSDA-Mamba further improves feature extraction capabilities.Through comprehensive experiments on eight medical image datasets,we demonstrate that BSDA-Mamba outperforms existing models in accuracy,area under the curve,and F1-score.Our results highlight BSDA-Mamba’s potential as a reliable tool for medical image analysis,particularly in handling diverse imaging modalities from X-rays to MRI.The open-sourcing of our model’s code and datasets,will facilitate the reproduction and extension of our work.
文摘This study demonstrates the complexity and importance of water quality as a measure of the health and sustainability of ecosystems that directly influence biodiversity,human health,and the world economy.The predictability of water quality thus plays a crucial role in managing our ecosystems to make informed decisions and,hence,proper environmental management.This study addresses these challenges by proposing an effective machine learning methodology applied to the“Water Quality”public dataset.The methodology has modeled the dataset suitable for providing prediction classification analysis with high values of the evaluating parameters such as accuracy,sensitivity,and specificity.The proposed methodology is based on two novel approaches:(a)the SMOTE method to deal with unbalanced data and(b)the skillfully involved classical machine learning models.This paper uses Random Forests,Decision Trees,XGBoost,and Support Vector Machines because they can handle large datasets,train models for handling skewed datasets,and provide high accuracy in water quality classification.A key contribution of this work is the use of custom sampling strategies within the SMOTE approach,which significantly enhanced performance metrics and improved class imbalance handling.The results demonstrate significant improvements in predictive performance,achieving the highest reported metrics:accuracy(98.92%vs.96.06%),sensitivity(98.3%vs.71.26%),and F1 score(98.37%vs.79.74%)using the XGBoost model.These improvements underscore the effectiveness of our custom SMOTE sampling strategies in addressing class imbalance.The findings contribute to environmental management by enabling ecology specialists to develop more accurate strategies for monitoring,assessing,and managing drinking water quality,ensuring better ecosystem and public health outcomes.
文摘Earthquakes are highly destructive spatio-temporal phenomena whose analysis is essential for disaster preparedness and risk mitigation.Modern seismological research produces vast volumes of heterogeneous data from seismic networks,satellite observations,and geospatial repositories,creating the need for scalable infrastructures capable of integrating and analyzing such data to support intelligent decision-making.Data warehousing technologies provide a robust foundation for this purpose;however,existing earthquake-oriented data warehouses remain limited,often relying on simplified schemas,domain-specific analytics,or cataloguing efforts.This paper presents the design and implementation of a spatio-temporal data warehouse for seismic activity.The framework integrates spatial and temporal dimensions in a unified schema and introduces a novel array-based approach for managing many-to-many relationships between facts and dimensions without intermediate bridge tables.A comparative evaluation against a conventional bridge-table schema demonstrates that the array-based design improves fact-centric query performance,while the bridge-table schema remains advantageous for dimension-centric queries.To reconcile these trade-offs,a hybrid schema is proposed that retains both representations,ensuring balanced efficiency across heterogeneous workloads.The proposed framework demonstrates how spatio-temporal data warehousing can address schema complexity,improve query performance,and support multidimensional visualization.In doing so,it provides a foundation for integrating seismic analysis into broader big data-driven intelligent decision systems for disaster resilience,risk mitigation,and emergency management.

文摘Data collected in fields such as cybersecurity and biomedicine often encounter high dimensionality and class imbalance.To address the problem of low classification accuracy for minority class samples arising from numerous irrelevant and redundant features in high-dimensional imbalanced data,we proposed a novel feature selection method named AMF-SGSK based on adaptive multi-filter and subspace-based gaining sharing knowledge.Firstly,the balanced dataset was obtained by random under-sampling.Secondly,combining the feature importance score with the AUC score for each filter method,we proposed a concept called feature hardness to judge the importance of feature,which could adaptively select the essential features.Finally,the optimal feature subset was obtained by gaining sharing knowledge in multiple subspaces.This approach effectively achieved dimensionality reduction for high-dimensional imbalanced data.The experiment results on 30 benchmark imbalanced datasets showed that AMF-SGSK performed better than other eight commonly used algorithms including BGWO and IG-SSO in terms of F1-score,AUC,and G-mean.The mean values of F1-score,AUC,and Gmean for AMF-SGSK are 0.950,0.967,and 0.965,respectively,achieving the highest among all algorithms.And the mean value of Gmean is higher than those of IG-PSO,ReliefF-GWO,and BGOA by 3.72%,11.12%,and 20.06%,respectively.Furthermore,the selected feature ratio is below 0.01 across the selected ten datasets,further demonstrating the proposed method’s overall superiority over competing approaches.AMF-SGSK could adaptively remove irrelevant and redundant features and effectively improve the classification accuracy of high-dimensional imbalanced data,providing scientific and technological references for practical applications.

文摘Real-world studies(RWSs)have emerged as a transformative force in oncology research,complementing traditional randomized controlled trials(RCTs)by providing comprehensive insights into cancer care within routine clinical settings.This review examines the evolving landscape of RWSs in oncology,focusing on their implementation,methodological considerations,and impact on precision medicine.We systematically analyze how RWSs leverage diverse data sources,including electronic health records(EHRs),insurance claims,and patient registries,to generate evidence that bridges the gap between controlled clinical trials and real-world clinical practice.The review underscores the key contributions of RWSs,including capturing therapeutic outcomes in traditionally underrepresented populations,expanding drug indications,and evaluating long-term safety and effectiveness in routine clinical settings.While acknowledging significant challenges,including data quality variability and privacy concerns,we discuss how emerging technologies like artificial intelligence are helping to address these limitations.The integration of RWSs with traditional clinical research is revolutionizing the paradigm of precision oncology and enabling more personalized treatment approaches based on real-world evidence.
文摘Amid the increasing demand for data sharing,the need for flexible,secure,and auditable access control mechanisms has garnered significant attention in the academic community.However,blockchain-based ciphertextpolicy attribute-based encryption(CP-ABE)schemes still face cumbersome ciphertext re-encryption and insufficient oversight when handling dynamic attribute changes and cross-chain collaboration.To address these issues,we propose a dynamic permission attribute-encryption scheme for multi-chain collaboration.This scheme incorporates a multiauthority architecture for distributed attribute management and integrates an attribute revocation and granting mechanism that eliminates the need for ciphertext re-encryption,effectively reducing both computational and communication overhead.It leverages the InterPlanetary File System(IPFS)for off-chain data storage and constructs a cross-chain regulatory framework—comprising a Hyperledger Fabric business chain and a FISCO BCOS regulatory chain—to record changes in decryption privileges and access behaviors in an auditable manner.Security analysis shows selective indistinguishability under chosen-plaintext attack(sIND-CPA)security under the decisional q-Parallel Bilinear Diffie-Hellman Exponent Assumption(q-PBDHE).In the performance and experimental evaluations,we compared the proposed scheme with several advanced schemes.The results show that,while preserving security,the proposed scheme achieves higher encryption/decryption efficiency and lower storage overhead for ciphertexts and keys.
文摘With the popularization of new technologies,telephone fraud has become the main means of stealing money and personal identity information.Taking inspiration from the website authentication mechanism,we propose an end-to-end datamodem scheme that transmits the caller’s digital certificates through a voice channel for the recipient to verify the caller’s identity.Encoding useful information through voice channels is very difficult without the assistance of telecommunications providers.For example,speech activity detection may quickly classify encoded signals as nonspeech signals and reject input waveforms.To address this issue,we propose a novel modulation method based on linear frequency modulation that encodes 3 bits per symbol by varying its frequency,shape,and phase,alongside a lightweightMobileNetV3-Small-based demodulator for efficient and accurate signal decoding on resource-constrained devices.This method leverages the unique characteristics of linear frequency modulation signals,making them more easily transmitted and decoded in speech channels.To ensure reliable data delivery over unstable voice links,we further introduce a robust framing scheme with delimiter-based synchronization,a sample-level position remedying algorithm,and a feedback-driven retransmission mechanism.We have validated the feasibility and performance of our system through expanded real-world evaluations,demonstrating that it outperforms existing advanced methods in terms of robustness and data transfer rate.This technology establishes the foundational infrastructure for reliable certificate delivery over voice channels,which is crucial for achieving strong caller authentication and preventing telephone fraud at its root cause.
文摘Missing data presents a crucial challenge in data analysis,especially in high-dimensional datasets,where missing data often leads to biased conclusions and degraded model performance.In this study,we present a novel autoencoder-based imputation framework that integrates a composite loss function to enhance robustness and precision.The proposed loss combines(i)a guided,masked mean squared error focusing on missing entries;(ii)a noise-aware regularization term to improve resilience against data corruption;and(iii)a variance penalty to encourage expressive yet stable reconstructions.We evaluate the proposed model across four missingness mechanisms,such as Missing Completely at Random,Missing at Random,Missing Not at Random,and Missing Not at Random with quantile censorship,under systematically varied feature counts,sample sizes,and missingness ratios ranging from 5%to 60%.Four publicly available real-world datasets(Stroke Prediction,Pima Indians Diabetes,Cardiovascular Disease,and Framingham Heart Study)were used,and the obtained results show that our proposed model consistently outperforms baseline methods,including traditional and deep learning-based techniques.An ablation study reveals the additive value of each component in the loss function.Additionally,we assessed the downstream utility of imputed data through classification tasks,where datasets imputed by the proposed method yielded the highest receiver operating characteristic area under the curve scores across all scenarios.The model demonstrates strong scalability and robustness,improving performance with larger datasets and higher feature counts.These results underscore the capacity of the proposed method to produce not only numerically accurate but also semantically useful imputations,making it a promising solution for robust data recovery in clinical applications.

文摘Lightweight nodes are crucial for blockchain scalability,but verifying the availability of complete block data puts significant strain on bandwidth and latency.Existing data availability sampling(DAS)schemes either require trusted setups or suffer from high communication overhead and low verification efficiency.This paper presents ISTIRDA,a DAS scheme that lets light clients certify availability by sampling small random codeword symbols.Built on ISTIR,an improved Reed–Solomon interactive oracle proof of proximity,ISTIRDA combines adaptive folding with dynamic code rate adjustment to preserve soundness while lowering communication.This paper formalizes opening consistency and prove security with bounded error in the random oracle model,giving polylogarithmic verifier queries and no trusted setup.In a prototype compared with FRIDA under equal soundness,ISTIRDA reduces communication by 40.65%to 80%.For data larger than 16 MB,ISTIRDA verifies faster and the advantage widens;at 128 MB,proofs are about 60%smaller and verification time is roughly 25%shorter,while prover overhead remains modest.In peer-to-peer emulation under injected latency and loss,ISTIRDA reaches confidence more quickly and is less sensitive to packet loss and load.These results indicate that ISTIRDA is a scalable and provably secure DAS scheme suitable for high-throughput,large-block public blockchains,substantially easing bandwidth and latency pressure on lightweight nodes.
