While deep learning (DL) techniques for data imputation have gained attention, challenges remain, especially when dealing with diverse data types. In this study, we introduce a novel data imputation method based on a modified convolutional neural network, specifically, a Deep Residual-Convolutional Neural Network (DRes-CNN) architecture designed to handle missing values across various datasets. Our approach demonstrates substantial improvements over existing imputation techniques by leveraging residual connections and optimized convolutional layers to capture complex data patterns. We evaluated the model on publicly available datasets, including Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC-III and MIMIC-IV), which contain critical care patient data, and the Beijing Multi-Site Air Quality dataset, which measures environmental air quality. The proposed DRes-CNN method achieved a root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.00006, highlighting its high accuracy and robustness. We also compared with Low Light-Convolutional Neural Network (LL-CNN) and U-Net methods, which had RMSE values of 0.00075 and 0.00073, respectively. This represented an improvement of approximately 92% over LL-CNN and 91% over U-Net. The results showed that this DRes-CNN-based imputation method outperforms current state-of-the-art models. These results established DRes-CNN as a reliable solution for addressing missing data.展开更多

Cloud radio access network (CRAN) is a prominent framework in the 5G mobile network to meet the above requirements by deploying low-cost and intelligent multiple distributed antennas known as remote radio heads (RRHs). However, achieving the optimal resource allocation (RA) in CRAN using the traditional approach is still challenging due to the complex structure. In this paper, we introduce the convolutional neural network-based deep Q-network (CNN-DQN) to balance the energy consumption and guarantee the user quality of service (QoS) demand in downlink CRAN. We first formulate the Markov decision process (MDP) for energy efficiency (EE) and build up a 3-layer CNN to capture the environment feature as an input state space. We then use DQN to turn on/off the RRHs dynamically based on the user QoS demand and energy consumption in the CRAN. Finally, we solve the RA problem based on the user constraint and transmit power to guarantee the user QoS demand and maximize the EE with a minimum number of active RRHs. In the end, we conduct the simulation to compare our proposed scheme with nature DQN and the traditional approach.展开更多

文摘critical for guiding treatment and improving patient outcomes.Traditional molecular subtyping via immuno-histochemistry(IHC)test is invasive,time-consuming,and may not fully represent tumor heterogeneity.This study proposes a non-invasive approach using digital mammography images and deep learning algorithm for classifying breast cancer molecular subtypes.Four pretrained models,including two Convolutional Neural Networks(MobileNet_V3_Large and VGG-16)and two Vision Transformers(ViT_B_16 and ViT_Base_Patch16_Clip_224)were fine-tuned to classify images into HER2-enriched,Luminal,Normal-like,and Triple Negative subtypes.Hyperparameter tuning,including learning rate adjustment and layer freezing strategies,was applied to optimize performance.Among the evaluated models,ViT_Base_Patch16_Clip_224 achieved the highest test accuracy(94.44%),with equally high precision,recall,and F1-score of 0.94,demonstrating excellent generalization.MobileNet_V3_Large achieved the same accuracy but showed less training stability.In contrast,VGG-16 recorded the lowest performance,indicating a limitation in its generalizability for this classification task.The study also highlighted the superior performance of the Vision Transformer models over CNNs,particularly due to their ability to capture global contextual features and the benefit of CLIP-based pretraining in ViT_Base_Patch16_Clip_224.To enhance clinical applicability,a graphical user interface(GUI)named“BCMS Dx”was developed for streamlined subtype prediction.Deep learning applied to mammography has proven effective for accurate and non-invasive molecular subtyping.The proposed Vision Transformer-based model and supporting GUI offer a promising direction for augmenting diagnostic workflows,minimizing the need for invasive procedures,and advancing personalized breast cancer management.

文摘Handling missing data accurately is critical in clinical research, where data quality directly impacts decision-making and patient outcomes. While deep learning (DL) techniques for data imputation have gained attention, challenges remain, especially when dealing with diverse data types. In this study, we introduce a novel data imputation method based on a modified convolutional neural network, specifically, a Deep Residual-Convolutional Neural Network (DRes-CNN) architecture designed to handle missing values across various datasets. Our approach demonstrates substantial improvements over existing imputation techniques by leveraging residual connections and optimized convolutional layers to capture complex data patterns. We evaluated the model on publicly available datasets, including Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC-III and MIMIC-IV), which contain critical care patient data, and the Beijing Multi-Site Air Quality dataset, which measures environmental air quality. The proposed DRes-CNN method achieved a root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.00006, highlighting its high accuracy and robustness. We also compared with Low Light-Convolutional Neural Network (LL-CNN) and U-Net methods, which had RMSE values of 0.00075 and 0.00073, respectively. This represented an improvement of approximately 92% over LL-CNN and 91% over U-Net. The results showed that this DRes-CNN-based imputation method outperforms current state-of-the-art models. These results established DRes-CNN as a reliable solution for addressing missing data.

文摘Moldy core is a serious internal defect in pears.Since there is no significant difference in appearance between the healthy pears and those with mild moldy core,it is still a great challenge for the early detection of moldy pear core.This study transformed the vibration acoustic signals(VA signal)of pears into recurrence plots and Markov transition field to enable image-based classification of moldy cores.In addition to traditional machine-learning baselines(Random Forest and k-Nearest Neighbors)trained on LBP-extracted texture features from RP/MTF,the deep models were constructed and compared,which include ResNet-101,DenseNet-121,SqueezeNet,Vision Transformer(ViT),and an improved SqueezeNet(ISqueezeNet).Hyperparameters were tuned via Bayesian optimization over optimizer type,learning rate,batch size,and L2 weight decay,yielding model-specific optimal settings.Under these configurations,the ISqueezeNet achieved the highest test accuracy of 93.05%,with class-wise accuracies of 89.28%(healthy),96.15%(slight),and 94.44%(moderate and severe).Comparisons with lightweight networks(MobileNetV1 and ShuffleNetV2)further showed that ISqueezeNet attains superior accuracy with favorable parameter efficiency and inference speed.Grad-CAM visualizations confirmed that the model focuses on lesionrelevant regions,supporting interpretability and practical reliability.These results indicate that the proposed approach is promising for early,nondestructive detection of moldy pear cores.

文摘The recent surge of mobile subscribers and user data traffic has accelerated the telecommunication sector towards the adoption of the fifth-generation (5G) mobile networks. Cloud radio access network (CRAN) is a prominent framework in the 5G mobile network to meet the above requirements by deploying low-cost and intelligent multiple distributed antennas known as remote radio heads (RRHs). However, achieving the optimal resource allocation (RA) in CRAN using the traditional approach is still challenging due to the complex structure. In this paper, we introduce the convolutional neural network-based deep Q-network (CNN-DQN) to balance the energy consumption and guarantee the user quality of service (QoS) demand in downlink CRAN. We first formulate the Markov decision process (MDP) for energy efficiency (EE) and build up a 3-layer CNN to capture the environment feature as an input state space. We then use DQN to turn on/off the RRHs dynamically based on the user QoS demand and energy consumption in the CRAN. Finally, we solve the RA problem based on the user constraint and transmit power to guarantee the user QoS demand and maximize the EE with a minimum number of active RRHs. In the end, we conduct the simulation to compare our proposed scheme with nature DQN and the traditional approach.
文摘Enabling high mobility applications in millimeter wave(mmWave)based systems opens up a slew of new possibilities,including vehicle communi-cations in addition to wireless virtual/augmented reality.The narrow beam usage in addition to the millimeter waves sensitivity might block the coverage along with the reliability of the mobile links.In this research work,the improvement in the quality of experience faced by the user for multimedia-related applications over the millimeter-wave band is investigated.The high attenuation loss in high frequencies is compensated with a massive array structure named Multiple Input and Multiple Output(MIMO)which is utilized in a hyperdense environment called heterogeneous networks(HetNet).The optimization problem which arises while maximizing the Mean Opinion Score(MOS)is analyzed along with the QoE(Quality of Experience)metric by considering the Base Station(BS)powers in addition to the needed Quality of Service(QoS).Most of the approaches related to wireless network communication are not suitable for the millimeter-wave band because of its problems due to high complexity and its dynamic nature.Hence a deep reinforcement learning framework is developed for tackling the same opti-mization problem.In this work,a Fuzzy-based Deep Convolutional Neural Net-work(FDCNN)is proposed in addition to a Deep Reinforcing Learning Framework(DRLF)for extracting the features of highly correlated data.The investigational results prove that the proposed method yields the highest satisfac-tion to the user by increasing the number of antennas in addition with the small-scale antennas at the base stations.The proposed work outperforms in terms of MOS with multiple antennas.

文摘The converter steelmaking process represents a pivotal aspect of steel metallurgical production,with the characteristics of the flame at the furnace mouth serving as an indirect indicator of the internal smelting stage.Effectively identifying and predicting the smelt-ing stage poses a significant challenge within industrial production.Traditional image-based methodologies,which rely on a single static flame image as input,demonstrate low recognition accuracy and inadequately extract the dynamic changes in smelting stage.To address this issue,the present study introduces an innovative recognition model that preprocesses flame video sequences from the furnace mouth and then employs a convolutional recurrent neural network(CRNN)to extract spatiotemporal features and derive recognition outputs.Ad-ditionally,we adopt feature layer visualization techniques to verify the model’s effectiveness and further enhance model performance by integrating the Bayesian optimization algorithm.The results indicate that the ResNet18 with convolutional block attention module(CBAM)in the convolutional layer demonstrates superior image feature extraction capabilities,achieving an accuracy of 90.70%and an area under the curve of 98.05%.The constructed Bayesian optimization-CRNN(BO-CRNN)model exhibits a significant improvement in comprehensive performance,with an accuracy of 97.01%and an area under the curve of 99.85%.Furthermore,statistics on the model’s average recognition time,computational complexity,and parameter quantity(Average recognition time:5.49 ms,floating-point opera-tions per second:18260.21 M(1 M=1×10^(6)),parameters:11.58 M)demonstrate superior performance.Through extensive repeated ex-periments on real-world datasets,the proposed CRNN model is capable of rapidly and accurately identifying smelting stages,offering a novel approach for converter smelting endpoint control.
文摘The ability to accurately predict urban traffic flows is crucial for optimising city operations.Consequently,various methods for forecasting urban traffic have been developed,focusing on analysing historical data to understand complex mobility patterns.Deep learning techniques,such as graph neural networks(GNNs),are popular for their ability to capture spatio-temporal dependencies.However,these models often become overly complex due to the large number of hyper-parameters involved.In this study,we introduce Dynamic Multi-Graph Spatial-Temporal Graph Neural Ordinary Differential Equation Networks(DMST-GNODE),a framework based on ordinary differential equations(ODEs)that autonomously discovers effective spatial-temporal graph neural network(STGNN)architectures for traffic prediction tasks.The comparative analysis of DMST-GNODE and baseline models indicates that DMST-GNODE model demonstrates superior performance across multiple datasets,consistently achieving the lowest Root Mean Square Error(RMSE)and Mean Absolute Error(MAE)values,alongside the highest accuracy.On the BKK(Bangkok)dataset,it outperformed other models with an RMSE of 3.3165 and an accuracy of 0.9367 for a 20-min interval,maintaining this trend across 40 and 60 min.Similarly,on the PeMS08 dataset,DMST-GNODE achieved the best performance with an RMSE of 19.4863 and an accuracy of 0.9377 at 20 min,demonstrating its effectiveness over longer periods.The Los_Loop dataset results further emphasise this model’s advantage,with an RMSE of 3.3422 and an accuracy of 0.7643 at 20 min,consistently maintaining superiority across all time intervals.These numerical highlights indicate that DMST-GNODE not only outperforms baseline models but also achieves higher accuracy and lower errors across different time intervals and datasets.

文摘Landslide susceptibility mapping(LSM)plays a crucial role in assessing geological risks.The current LSM techniques face a significant challenge in achieving accurate results due to uncertainties associated with regional-scale geotechnical parameters.To explore rainfall-induced LSM,this study proposes a hybrid model that combines the physically-based probabilistic model(PPM)with convolutional neural network(CNN).The PPM is capable of effectively capturing the spatial distribution of landslides by incorporating the probability of failure(POF)considering the slope stability mechanism under rainfall conditions.This significantly characterizes the variation of POF caused by parameter uncertainties.CNN was used as a binary classifier to capture the spatial and channel correlation between landslide conditioning factors and the probability of landslide occurrence.OpenCV image enhancement technique was utilized to extract non-landslide points based on the POF of landslides.The proposed model comprehensively considers physical mechanics when selecting non-landslide samples,effectively filtering out samples that do not adhere to physical principles and reduce the risk of overfitting.The results indicate that the proposed PPM-CNN hybrid model presents a higher prediction accuracy,with an area under the curve(AUC)value of 0.85 based on the landslide case of the Niangniangba area of Gansu Province,China compared with the individual CNN model(AUC=0.61)and the PPM(AUC=0.74).This model can also consider the statistical correlation and non-normal probability distributions of model parameters.These results offer practical guidance for future research on rainfall-induced LSM at the regional scale.

文摘The effective and timely diagnosis and treatment of ocular diseases are key to the rapid recovery of patients.Today,the mass disease that needs attention in this context is cataracts.Although deep learning has significantly advanced the analysis of ocular disease images,there is a need for a probabilistic model to generate the distributions of potential outcomes and thusmake decisions related to uncertainty quantification.Therefore,this study implements a Bayesian Convolutional Neural Networks(BCNN)model for predicting cataracts by assigning probability values to the predictions.It prepares convolutional neural network(CNN)and BCNN models.The proposed BCNN model is CNN-based in which reparameterization is in the first and last layers of the CNN model.This study then trains them on a dataset of cataract images filtered from the ocular disease fundus images fromKaggle.The deep CNN model has an accuracy of 95%,while the BCNN model has an accuracy of 93.75% along with information on uncertainty estimation of cataracts and normal eye conditions.When compared with other methods,the proposed work reveals that it can be a promising solution for cataract prediction with uncertainty estimation.

文摘During its growth stage,the plant is exposed to various diseases.Detection and early detection of crop diseases is amajor challenge in the horticulture industry.Crop infections can harmtotal crop yield and reduce farmers’income if not identified early.Today’s approved method involves a professional plant pathologist to diagnose the disease by visual inspection of the afflicted plant leaves.This is an excellent use case for Community Assessment and Treatment Services(CATS)due to the lengthy manual disease diagnosis process and the accuracy of identification is directly proportional to the skills of pathologists.An alternative to conventional Machine Learning(ML)methods,which require manual identification of parameters for exact results,is to develop a prototype that can be classified without pre-processing.To automatically diagnose tomato leaf disease,this research proposes a hybrid model using the Convolutional Auto-Encoders(CAE)network and the CNN-based deep learning architecture of DenseNet.To date,none of the modern systems described in this paper have a combined model based on DenseNet,CAE,and ConvolutionalNeuralNetwork(CNN)todiagnose the ailments of tomato leaves automatically.Themodelswere trained on a dataset obtained from the Plant Village repository.The dataset consisted of 9920 tomato leaves,and the model-tomodel accuracy ratio was 98.35%.Unlike other approaches discussed in this paper,this hybrid strategy requires fewer training components.Therefore,the training time to classify plant diseases with the trained algorithm,as well as the training time to automatically detect the ailments of tomato leaves,is significantly reduced.

文摘High-accuracy Sea level prediction is important for understanding marine environments and climate change.In this work,a deep convolutional neural network(CNN)combined with attention mechanism(ADNN)is established for sea level anomaly(SLA)prediction from historical satellite observations.Multi-year(1998-2020)radar altimetry observed SLA pattern samples in the South China Sea are used for model training and testing.Compared with existing deep learning models such as CNN and convolutional long short-term memory(ConvLSTM)network,ADNN demonstrates the highest accuracies of 94.0%,91.1%,88.4%and 86.2%for 1-d,3-d,5-d and 7-d SLA field predictions,with regional average root mean square errors(RMSE)of 0.27 cm,0.51 cm,0.80 cm and 1.09 cm,respectively.The integration of CNN and attention mechanism significantly improves the model performance,especially in estimating short-term sea level changes,with a 74.7%reduction in the RMSE for 1-d predictions compared to the baseline CNN model.Comparative experiments also show that the ADNN model performs well when the input data contains a certain degree of noise.Moreover,a multivariate ADNN(M-ADNN)model is designed to investigate the impacts of environmental variables such as sea surface temperature(SST)and wind on SLA prediction.The model yields a slightly higher accuracy but the results are quite similar to those of the ADNN model.The findings suggest that,although SST or wind can affect sea level changes,the ADNN model demonstrates the ability to identify and learn sufficient information about sea level changes solely from satellite altimetry measurements of SLA,especially for relatively long-term(≥5 d)predictions.This eliminates the need for additional input parameter data,thereby improving the SLA prediction efficiency.

文摘Hemoglobin is a vital protein in red blood cells responsible for transporting oxygen throughout the body.Its accurate measurement is crucial for diagnosing and managing conditions such as anemia and diabetes,where abnormal hemoglobin levels can indicate significant health issues.Traditional methods for hemoglobin measurement are invasive,causing pain,risk of infection,and are less convenient for frequent monitoring.PPG is a transformative technology in wearable healthcare for noninvasive monitoring and widely explored for blood pressure,sleep,blood glucose,and stress analysis.In this work,we propose a hemoglobin estimation method using an adaptive lightweight convolutional neural network(HMALCNN)from PPG.The HMALCNN is designed to capture both fine-grained local waveform characteristics and global contextual patterns,ensuring robust performance across acquisition settings.We validated our approach on two multi-regional datasets containing 152 and 68 subjects,respectively,employing a subjectindependent 5-fold cross-validation strategy.The proposed method achieved root mean square errors(RMSE)of 0.90 and 1.20 g/dL for the two datasets,with strong Pearson correlations of 0.82 and 0.72.We conducted extensive posthoc analyses to assess clinical utility and interpretability.A±1 g/dL clinical error tolerance evaluation revealed that 91.3%and 86.7%of predictions for the two datasets fell within the acceptable clinical range.Hemoglobin range-wise analysis demonstrated consistently high accuracy in the normal and low hemoglobin categories.Statistical significance testing using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test confirmed the stability of performance across validation folds(p>0.05 for both RMSE and correlation).Furthermore,model interpretability was enhanced using Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping(Grad-CAM),supporting the model’s clinical trustworthiness.The proposed HMALCNN offers a computationally efficient,clinically interpretable,and generalizable framework for noninvasive hemoglobin monitoring,with strong potential for integration into wearable healthcare systems as a practical alternative to invasive measurement techniques.
文摘The increasing prevalence of violent incidents in public spaces has created an urgent need for intelligent surveillance systems capable of detecting dangerous objects in real time.While traditional video surveillance relies on human monitoring,this approach suffers from limitations such as fatigue and delayed response times.This study addresses these challenges by developing an automated detection system using advanced deep learning techniques to enhance public safety.Our approach leverages state-of-the-art convolutional neural networks(CNNs),specifically You Only Look Once version 4(YOLOv4)and EfficientDet,for real-time object detection.The system was trained on a comprehensive dataset of over 50,000 images,enhanced through data augmentation techniques to improve robustness across varying lighting conditions and viewing angles.Cloud-based deployment on Amazon Web Services(AWS)ensured scalability and efficient processing.Experimental evaluations demonstrated high performance,with YOLOv4 achieving 92%accuracy and processing images in 0.45 s,while EfficientDet reached 93%accuracy with a slightly longer processing time of 0.55 s per image.Field tests in high-traffic environments such as train stations and shopping malls confirmed the system’s reliability,with a false alarm rate of only 4.5%.The integration of automatic alerts enabled rapid security responses to potential threats.The proposed CNN-based system provides an effective solution for real-time detection of dangerous objects in video surveillance,significantly improving response times and public safety.While YOLOv4 proved more suitable for speed-critical applications,EfficientDet offered marginally better accuracy.Future work will focus on optimizing the system for low-light conditions and further reducing false positives.This research contributes to the advancement of AI-driven surveillance technologies,offering a scalable framework adaptable to various security scenarios.
