Utilising advanced sentiment analysis models, particularly BERT, and traditional machine learning methods, we developed a nuanced approach to identify homophobic content on X/Twitter. This research is pivotal due to the persistent underrepresentation of homophobia in detection models. Our findings reveal that while BERT outperforms traditional methods, the choice of validation technique can impact model performance. This underscores the importance of contextual understanding in detecting nuanced hate speech. By releasing the largest open-source labelled English dataset for homophobia detection known to us, an analysis of various models' performance and our strongest BERT-based model, we aim to enhance online safety and inclusivity. Future work will extend to broader LGBTQIA+ hate speech detection, addressing the challenges of sourcing diverse datasets. Through this endeavour, we contribute to the larger effort against online hate, advocating for a more inclusive digital landscape. Our study not only offers insights into the effective detection of homophobic content by improving on previous research results, but it also lays groundwork for future advancements in hate speech analysis.","PeriodicalId":350976,"journal":{"name":"Applied and Computational Engineering","volume":"54 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140975177","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}

Despite some progress in medical image segmentation, overfitting and low efficiency have been observed in practical applications. This paper aims to leverage image data augmentation methods to mitigate overfitting and achieve lightweight and highly accurate automatic detection of lung infections in X-ray images. We trained three models, namely VGG16, MobileNetV2, and InceptionV3, using both augmented and unaugmented image datasets. Comparative results demonstrate that the augmented VGG16 model (VGG16-Augmentation) achieves an average accuracy of 96.8%. While the accuracy of MobileNetV2-Augmentation is slightly lower than that of VGG16-Augmentation, it still achieves an average prediction accuracy of 94.2% and the number of model parameters is only 1/9 of VGG16-augmentation. This is particularly beneficial for rapid screening of pneumonia patients and more efficient real-time detection scenarios. Through this study, we showcase the potential application of image data augmentation methods in pneumonia detection and provide performance comparisons among different models. These findings offer valuable insights for the rapid diagnosis and screening of pneumonia patients and provide useful guidance for future research and the implementation of efficient real-time monitoring of lung conditions in practical healthcare settings.","PeriodicalId":350976,"journal":{"name":"Applied and Computational Engineering","volume":"77 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140973856","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}

Part of the research concentrates on existing non-uniform arrays, while another part focuses on optimizing the position of array elements or expanding the structure. Of course, there are also studies on one-dimensional and two-dimensional DOA estimation algorithms based on array spatial shapes, despite some issues. As long as there is a demand for spatial domain target positioning, the development and refinement of non-uniform arrays will continue to be a hot research direction. Nested arrays represent a unique type of heterogeneous array, whose special geometric shape significantly increases degrees of freedom and enhances estimation performance for directional information of undetermined signal sources. Compared to other algorithms, the one-dimensional DOA estimation algorithm based on spatial smoothing simplifies algorithm complexity, improves estimation accuracy under nested arrays, and can effectively handle the estimation of signal sources under uncertain conditions. The DFT algorithm it employs not only significantly improves angular estimation performance but also reduces operational complexity, utilizing full degrees of freedom to minimize aperture loss. Furthermore, the DFT-MUSIC method greatly reduces algorithmic computational complexity while performing very closely to the spatial smoothing MUSIC algorithm. The sparse arrays it utilizes, including minimum redundancy arrays, coprime arrays, and nested arrays, are a new type of array. Sparse arrays can increase degrees of freedom compared to traditional uniform linear arrays and solve the estimation of signal source angles under uncertain conditions, while also enhancing algorithm angular estimation performance.","PeriodicalId":350976,"journal":{"name":"Applied and Computational Engineering","volume":"74 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140973874","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}

Getting a high precision in road extraction can not only help scientists to update their road map in time but also speed up the process of digitization of roads in big cities. However, until now, compared to manual road extraction, the accuracy is not high enough to meet the needs of high-precision road extraction for the deep learning model because the model cannot extract the roads exactly in complex situations such as villages. However, this study trained a new road extraction model based on UNet model by using only datasets from large cities and can get a pretty high precision in extraction for roads in big cities.
