However, the traditional neural networks is difficult to capture the long-term dependency relationship of the time series in the modeling of the long time series of rail damage, due to the coupling relationship of multi-channel data from multiple sensors. Here, in this paper, a novel RUL prediction model with an enhanced pulse separable convolution is used to solve this issue. Firstly, a coding module based on the improved pulse separable convolutional network is established to effectively model the relationship between the data. To enhance the network, an alternate gradient back propagation method is implemented. And an efficient channel attention (ECA) mechanism is developed for better emphasizing the useful pulse characteristics. Secondly, an optimized Transformer encoder was designed to serve as the backbone of the model. It has the ability to efficiently understand relationship between the data itself and each other at each time step of long time series with a full life cycle. More importantly, the Transformer encoder is improved by integrating pulse maximum pooling to retain more pulse timing characteristics. Finally, based on the characteristics of the front layer, the final predicted RUL value was provided and served as the end-to-end solution. The empirical findings validate the efficacy of the suggested approach in forecasting the rail RUL, surpassing various existing data-driven prognostication techniques. Meanwhile, the proposed method also shows good generalization performance on PHM2012 bearing data set.展开更多

From the frequency representation of the "overlap and save", a Weighted General Discrete Fourier Transform (WGDFT) is derived to replace the traditional Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT). The mixing matrix on each frequency bin could be estimated more precisely from WGDFT coefficients than from DFT coefficients, which improves separation performance. Simulation results verify the validity of WGDFT for frequency domain blind source separation of convolutive mixtures.展开更多

To address this issue, the MobileNetV1 network was developed, which employs depthwise convolution to reduce network complexity. MobileNetV1 employs a stride of 2 in several convolutional layers to decrease the spatial resolution of feature maps, thereby lowering computational costs. However, this stride setting can lead to a loss of spatial information, particularly affecting the detection and representation of smaller objects or finer details in images. To maintain the trade-off between complexity and model performance, a lightweight convolutional neural network with hierarchical multi-scale feature fusion based on the MobileNetV1 network is proposed. The network consists of two main subnetworks. The first subnetwork uses a depthwise dilated separable convolution (DDSC) layer to learn imaging features with fewer parameters, which results in a lightweight and computationally inexpensive network. Furthermore, depthwise dilated convolution in DDSC layer effectively expands the field of view of filters, allowing them to incorporate a larger context. The second subnetwork is a hierarchical multi-scale feature fusion (HMFF) module that uses parallel multi-resolution branches architecture to process the input feature map in order to extract the multi-scale feature information of the input image. Experimental results on the CIFAR-10, Malaria, and KvasirV1 datasets demonstrate that the proposed method is efficient, reducing the network parameters and computational cost by 65.02% and 39.78%, respectively, while maintaining the network performance compared to the MobileNetV1 baseline.展开更多

However, in many practical applications, the source signals are non- negative and mutual statistically dependent signals. When the observations are nonnegative linear combinations of nonnegative sources, the correlation coefficients of the observations are larger than these of source signals. In this letter, a novel Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) algorithm with least correlated component constraints to blind separation of convolutive mixed sources is proposed. The algorithm relaxes the source independence assumption and has low-complexity algebraic com- putations. Simulation results on blind source separation including real face image data indicate that the sources can be successfully recovered with the algorithm.展开更多

文摘Introduction:Accurate prediction of protocadherin 8(PCDH8)gene expression status from whole-slide images(WSIs)is critical for thyroid cancer diagnosis and prognosis,as PCDH8 overexpression is associated with tumor aggressiveness and poor outcomes.Existing methods for PCDH8 detection are often costly,time-consuming,or require specialized expertise.To address these limitations,we developed a novel depth-wise separable residual neural network(DSRNet)for noninvasive PCDH8 status prediction directly from WSIs.Materials and methods:We collected 403 thyroid cancer WSIs from The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA),with PCDH8 expression status classified as high or low based on median expression values.Each WSI was divided into 512×512 pixel tiles,with the top 100 non-white tiles selected per slide.DSRNet integrates depth-wise separable convolutions,residual connections,and a deformable convolutional pyramid pooling module to efficiently capture multiscale and long-range features in gigapixel WSIs.The model was trained using tenfold cross-validation.Results:DSRNet achieved state-of-the-art performance with 92.76%accuracy,91.92%precision,92.69%recall,and 0.93 area under the curve on the thyroid cancer dataset(TCGA-THCA),significantly outperforming leading convolutional neural networks and Transformer models.Ablation studies confirmed the contributions of each component,and attention visualization showed that DSRNet focuses on biologically relevant regions.The model also generalized well to a breast cancer dataset(TCGA-BRCA),achieving 89.13%accuracy.Conclusions:We developed DSRNet,a deep learning-based model for predicting PCDH8 status directly from routine hematoxylin and eosin-stained pathological images.DSRNet combines the efficiency of convolutional operations with enhanced long-range dependency modeling,providing a noninvasive,accurate,and interpretable tool for auxiliary thyroid cancer diagnosis and prognosis.The results demonstrate its strong potential for clinical translation,though further multicenter validation is warranted.

文摘This letter deals with the frequency domain Blind Source Separation of Convolutive Mixtures (CMBSS). From the frequency representation of the "overlap and save", a Weighted General Discrete Fourier Transform (WGDFT) is derived to replace the traditional Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT). The mixing matrix on each frequency bin could be estimated more precisely from WGDFT coefficients than from DFT coefficients, which improves separation performance. Simulation results verify the validity of WGDFT for frequency domain blind source separation of convolutive mixtures.
文摘Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are widely used in image classification tasks, but their increasing model size and computation make them challenging to implement on embedded systems with constrained hardware resources. To address this issue, the MobileNetV1 network was developed, which employs depthwise convolution to reduce network complexity. MobileNetV1 employs a stride of 2 in several convolutional layers to decrease the spatial resolution of feature maps, thereby lowering computational costs. However, this stride setting can lead to a loss of spatial information, particularly affecting the detection and representation of smaller objects or finer details in images. To maintain the trade-off between complexity and model performance, a lightweight convolutional neural network with hierarchical multi-scale feature fusion based on the MobileNetV1 network is proposed. The network consists of two main subnetworks. The first subnetwork uses a depthwise dilated separable convolution (DDSC) layer to learn imaging features with fewer parameters, which results in a lightweight and computationally inexpensive network. Furthermore, depthwise dilated convolution in DDSC layer effectively expands the field of view of filters, allowing them to incorporate a larger context. The second subnetwork is a hierarchical multi-scale feature fusion (HMFF) module that uses parallel multi-resolution branches architecture to process the input feature map in order to extract the multi-scale feature information of the input image. Experimental results on the CIFAR-10, Malaria, and KvasirV1 datasets demonstrate that the proposed method is efficient, reducing the network parameters and computational cost by 65.02% and 39.78%, respectively, while maintaining the network performance compared to the MobileNetV1 baseline.

文摘In this paper,a Maximum Likelihood(ML) approach,implemented by Expectation-Maximization(EM) algorithm,is proposed to blind separation of convolutively mixed discrete sources.In order to carry out the expectation procedure of the EM algorithm with a less computational load,the algorithm named Iterative Maximum Likelihood algorithm(IML) is proposed to calculate the likelihood and recover the source signals.An important feature of the ML approach is that it has robust performance in noise environments by treating the covariance matrix of the additive Gaussian noise as a parameter.Another striking feature of the ML approach is that it is possible to separate more sources than sensors by exploiting the finite alphabet property of the sources.Simulation results show that the proposed ML approach works well either in determined mixtures or underdetermined mixtures.Furthermore,the performance of the proposed ML algorithm is close to the performance with perfect knowledge of the channel filters.

文摘Most of the existing algorithms for blind sources separation have a limitation that sources are statistically independent. However, in many practical applications, the source signals are non- negative and mutual statistically dependent signals. When the observations are nonnegative linear combinations of nonnegative sources, the correlation coefficients of the observations are larger than these of source signals. In this letter, a novel Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) algorithm with least correlated component constraints to blind separation of convolutive mixed sources is proposed. The algorithm relaxes the source independence assumption and has low-complexity algebraic com- putations. Simulation results on blind source separation including real face image data indicate that the sources can be successfully recovered with the algorithm.

文摘Deep kernel mapping support vector machines have achieved good results in numerous tasks by mapping features from a low-dimensional space to a high-dimensional space and then using support vector machines for classification.However,the depth kernel mapping support vector machine does not take into account the connection of different dimensional spaces and increases the model parameters.To further improve the recognition capability of deep kernel mapping support vector machines while reducing the number of model parameters,this paper proposes a framework of Lightweight Deep Convolutional Cross-Connected Kernel Mapping Support Vector Machines(LC-CKMSVM).The framework consists of a feature extraction module and a classification module.The feature extraction module first maps the data from low-dimensional to high-dimensional space by fusing the representations of different dimensional spaces through cross-connections;then,it uses depthwise separable convolution to replace part of the original convolution to reduce the number of parameters in the module;The classification module uses a soft margin support vector machine for classification.The results on 6 different visual datasets show that LC-CKMSVM obtains better classification accuracies on most cases than the other five models.

文摘Channel pruning can reduce memory consumption and running time with least performance damage,and is one of the most important techniques in network compression.However,existing channel pruning methods mainly focus on the pruning of standard convolutional networks,and they rely intensively on time-consuming fine-tuning to achieve the performance improvement.To this end,we present a novel efficient probability-based channel pruning method for depthwise separable convolutional networks.Our method leverages a new simple yet effective probability-based channel pruning criterion by taking the scaling and shifting factors of batch normalization layers into consideration.A novel shifting factor fusion technique is further developed to improve the performance of the pruned networks without requiring extra time-consuming fine-tuning.We apply the proposed method to five representative deep learning networks,namely MobileNetV1,MobileNetV2,ShuffleNetV1,ShuffleNetV2,and GhostNet,to demonstrate the efficiency of our pruning method.Extensive experimental results and comparisons on publicly available CIFAR10,CIFAR100,and ImageNet datasets validate the feasibility of the proposed method.
文摘Image classification using Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)achieves optimal perfor-mance with a particular strategy.MobileNet reduces the parameter number for learning features by switching from the standard convolution paradigm to the depthwise separable convolution(DSC)paradigm.However,there are not enough features to learn for identify-ing the freshness of fish eyes.Furthermore,minor variances in features should not require complicated CNN architecture.In this paper,our first contribution proposed DSC Bottle-neck with Expansion for learning features of the freshness of fish eyes with a Bottleneck Multiplier.The second contribution proposed Residual Transition to bridge current feature maps and skip connection feature maps to the next convolution block.The third contribu-tion proposed MobileNetV1 Bottleneck with Expansion(MB-BE)for classifying the freshness of fish eyes.The result obtained from the Freshness of the Fish Eyes dataset shows that MB-BE outperformed other models such as original MobileNet,VGG16,Densenet,Nasnet Mobile with 63.21%accuracy.

文摘Traditional separation methods have limited ability to handle the speech separation problem in high reverberant and low signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)environments,and thus achieve unsatisfactory results.In this study,a convolutional neural network with temporal convolution and residual network(TC-ResNet)is proposed to realize speech separation in a complex acoustic environment.A simplified steered-response power phase transform,denoted as GSRP-PHAT,is employed to reduce the computational cost.The extracted features are reshaped to a special tensor as the system inputs and implements temporal convolution,which not only enlarges the receptive field of the convolution layer but also significantly reduces the network computational cost.Residual blocks are used to combine multiresolution features and accelerate the training procedure.A modified ideal ratio mask is applied as the training target.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed microphone array speech separation algorithm based on TC-ResNet achieves a better performance in terms of distortion ratio,source-to-interference ratio,and short-time objective intelligibility in low SNR and high reverberant environments,particularly in untrained situations.This indicates that the proposed method has generalization to untrained conditions.
