However, the processing time is very large due to the serial computational behavior of the Markov Chain Monte Carlo method used for the topic inference. We propose a pipelined hardware architecture and memory allocation scheme to accelerate LDA using parallel processing. The proposed architecture is implemented on a reconfigurable hardware called FPGA (field programmable gate array), using OpenCL design environment. According to the experimental results, we achieved maximum speed-up of 2.38 times, while maintaining the same quality compared to the conventional CPU-based implementation.","PeriodicalId":186094,"journal":{"name":"2017 18th IEEE/ACIS International Conference on Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Networking and Parallel/Distributed Computing (SNPD)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114611648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Phankokkruad, Phichaya Jaturawat","doi":"10.1109/SNPD.2017.8022727","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/SNPD.2017.8022727","url":null,"abstract":"Face recognition is a personal identification method using biometrics that is gaining the attention in this research field. The face recognition process can be done without the human and devices interaction, so it can be applied in several applications. In additions, the face recognition systems are typically implemented at different places in unconstrained environments. Hence, the study of the factors that impact the face recognition accuracy is an interesting and challenging topic. In the class attendance checking system using face recognition, there are variations of three factors that possibly affect the accuracy of the system; facial expressions, and face viewpoints. This study intends to compare facial recognition accuracy of three well-known algorithms namely Eigenfaces, Fisherfaces, and LBPH. The experiments conducted in the respects of the variation of facial expressions, and face viewpoints in the actual classroom. The results of the experiment demonstrated that LBPH is the most precise algorithm which achieves 81.67% of accuracy in still-image-based testing. The facial expression that has the most impact on accuracy is the grin, and face viewpoints that affect accuracy are looking down and tilting left, and right respectively. Therefore, LBPH is the most suitable algorithm to apply in a class attendance checking system after considering the accuracy.","PeriodicalId":186094,"journal":{"name":"2017 18th IEEE/ACIS International Conference on Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Networking and Parallel/Distributed Computing (SNPD)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123843442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This clustering process based on Possibilistic C-Means (PCM) algorithm, which allows modeling the degree of relationship between each voxels and a given tissue; and based on fuzzy genetic initialization for the centers of clusters by a Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) algorithm, and for which the result is optimized by genetic process. The visual results show a concordance between the ground truth segmentation and the hybrid algorithm results, which allows efficient tissue classification. The superiority was also proved with the quantitative results of the proposed method in comparison with the both conventional FCM and PCM algorithms.","PeriodicalId":186094,"journal":{"name":"2017 18th IEEE/ACIS International Conference on Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Networking and Parallel/Distributed Computing (SNPD)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122844718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our aim was to develop an algorithm that is based on the regeneration and transplantation processes of hydrozoa for finding the best solutions for continuous optimization problems. Basically, HA follows the same general processes of evolutionary algorithm; however, its distinctive processes mimic the life cycle of 3 basic forms of hydrozoa: motile planula, polyps, and medusa. In particular, the growth of strong buds from the polyp stage depends on levels of morphogens: activators and inhibitors. These 3 forms develop or evolve into the best solution. HA was performance tested with 20 standard benchmark functions and compared with genetic algorithm and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The test results have confirmed that the proposed algorithm is computationally more efficient than both GA and PSO. It works very well on most benchmark functions.","PeriodicalId":186094,"journal":{"name":"2017 18th IEEE/ACIS International Conference on Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Networking and Parallel/Distributed Computing (SNPD)","volume":"199 1-6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114048302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also, people who are familiar with horror games are scared at several horror scenes in the horror game, whereas the others are not.

Various IDM products are in the market to offer corporate customers productivity and security while lowering costs of identity management. System integrators who implement the IDM solutions for their corporate customers often face problems when choosing the right IDM products for integrating with the customers' enterprise systems. This paper proposes a decision model for IDM product selection which is used in evaluating and ranking IDM products based on the proposed customer requirements questionnaire. The model is comprehensive in that its decision criteria comprise not only the technical specifications of the products but also other important aspects including price and accountability of system integrators and product vendors. Based on the decision model, product selection is conducted using a multi-criteria decision making technique called fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fuzzy AHP). In an evaluation, a leading system integrator company in Thailand applies the proposed approach to IDM product selection for its customer and the result is quite satisfactory.","PeriodicalId":186094,"journal":{"name":"2017 18th IEEE/ACIS International Conference on Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Networking and Parallel/Distributed Computing (SNPD)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126285932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Metaheuristic algorithms, among them the simulating annealing algorithm (SAA), have been proposed in the past for optimization of IMRT. Despite the advantage of the SAA to be a global optimizer, IMRT optimization is an extensive computational task due to the large scale of the optimization variables. Therefore stochastic algorithms, such as the SAA, require significant computational resources. In an effort to elucidate the performance improvement of the SAA in highly dimensional optimization tasks, such as the IMRT optimization, we introduce for the first time to our best knowledge a parallel graphic processing unit (GPU)-based SAA developed in MATLAB platform and compliant with the computational environment for radiotherapy research (CERR) for IMRT treatment planning. Our strategy was firstly to identify the major “bottlenecks” of our code and secondly to parallelize those on the GPU accordingly. Performance tests were conducted on four different GPU cards in comparison to a serial version of the algorithm executed on a CPU. Our studies have shown a gradual increase of the speedup factor as a function of the number of beamlets for all four GPUs. Particularly, a maximum speedup factor of ∼33 was achieved when the K40m card was utilized.","PeriodicalId":186094,"journal":{"name":"2017 18th IEEE/ACIS International Conference on Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Networking and Parallel/Distributed Computing (SNPD)","volume":"148 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116540111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we propose a method to select the destination storage node for migration using an access characteristic of a data block to be migrated. This method ranks the storage nodes dynamically, and each storage node configures storage tiers autonomously. Simulation results show that our scheme can short the execution time of a program with file I/O by 49% at maximum, in comparison with the static migration without considering the access characteristics of the migration data.","PeriodicalId":186094,"journal":{"name":"2017 18th IEEE/ACIS International Conference on Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Networking and Parallel/Distributed Computing (SNPD)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130073898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To accomplish such objective, we first provide a novel statistical understanding of convolutional neural network to translate convolution and pooling computations equivalently as a hierarchy of encoders, and sampling tricks, respectively. Then, we derive our proposed Convolutional Autoencoder Model with the ‘adversarial decoders’ to automate the generation of adversarial samples.
