It is mainly based on doctors' knowledge and experiences for each disease. Combining their knowledge and experiences for personalized treatment on a patient in a context of more than one disease is also frequent and more challenging. If documented, such a combination will be accumulated to be valuable knowledge and experiences for further treatment. Therefore, in this work, we focus on knowledge discovery from a large number of electronic medical records (EMRs) towards personalized treatment in the latter. In particular, associations between knowledge and experiences are discovered from existing composite treatments. Personalized treatment is then derived and examined from those associations. Compared to the existing works, our work is the first one that made association discovery from EMRs in the well-known MIMIC-III database for personalized treatment. The results can be used to support group diagnoses and future treatment on new patients with various diseases.","PeriodicalId":381028,"journal":{"name":"2022 9th NAFOSTED Conference on Information and Computer Science (NICS)","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128786721","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}

Consequently, it affects the transmission of other sensors, resulting in a significant degradation in system performance. In this study, the authors discuss and propose a power control algorithm to increase the spectral efficiency of sensors under the condition of constrained transmitting power. According to simulation results, most sensors achieve higher spectral efficiency with the proposed power control approach than without power control. Furthermore, it indicates that the proposed power control algorithm significantly improves the WBAN system's throughput in both the uplink and downlink communications.","PeriodicalId":381028,"journal":{"name":"2022 9th NAFOSTED Conference on Information and Computer Science (NICS)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133825782","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}

The quality parameters representative in this experiment are the two characteristics: Cleanliness Value (CV) and Remaining Weight. As regards the method of obtaining CV, in the first stage, raw image of peeled water chestnut is captured by digital camera. After that, the image is transformed to 8-bit Grey Scale by applying image processing technique. In the following step, image segmentation method is utilized in order to extract features of image. Meanwhile, the thresholding algorithm is applied for unpeeled skin and full outer boundary of water chestnut. Finally, the CV can be obtained by the ratio of pixel area of unpeeled skin to area of full outer boundary.","PeriodicalId":381028,"journal":{"name":"2022 9th NAFOSTED Conference on Information and Computer Science (NICS)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121330865","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}

The first step in combating COVID-19 is identifying cases of infection. Real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction is the most common method for identifying COVID (RT-PCR). This method, however, has been compromised by a time-consuming, laborious, and complex manual process. In addition to the RT-PCR test, screening computed tomography scan (CT) or X-ray images may be used to identify positive COVID-19 results, which could aid in the detection of COVID-19. Because of the continuing increase in new infections, the development of automated techniques for COVID-19 detection utilizing CT images is in high demand. This will aid in clinical diagnosis and alleviate the arduous task of image interpretation. Aggregating instances from various medical systems is highly advantageous for enlarging datasets for the development of machine learning techniques and the acquisition of robust, generalizable models. This study proposes a novel method for addressing distinct feature normalization in latent space due to cross-site domain shift in order to accurately execute COVID-19 identification using heterogeneous datasets with distribution disagreement. We propose using vector quantization to enhance the domain invariance of semantic embeddings in order to enhance classification performance on each dataset. We use two large, publicly accessible COVID-19 diagnostic CT scan datasets to develop and validate our proposed model. The experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method routinely outperforms state-of-the-art techniques on testing datasets.

The ineffectiveness of parking vehicles is the main reason for traffic congestion due to the shortage of parking spaces and the lack of guidance information leading to spending considerable time searching for parking spaces, which causes traffic delays. In this paper, we proposed a smart parking system that can predict parking availability based on long short-term memory (LSTM) network. The system then notifies the drivers about forecast information that help drivers save time in choosing parking lots. Subsequently, we deploy a license plate recognition (LPR) mechanism on the Jetson nano developer kit that automatically recognizes the vehicle's plate at the parking lot entrance. Experimental results show that LSTM can outperform the popular time series forecasting mechanisms (AutoTS, Darts) on the Birmingham parking lot dataset, and our LPR mechanism performance can reach 47fps in license detection on the Jetson nano developer kit.","PeriodicalId":381028,"journal":{"name":"2022 9th NAFOSTED Conference on Information and Computer Science (NICS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129619428","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}

Researchers also discovered multiple security issues associated with neural networks. One of them is backdoor attacks, i.e., a neural network may be embedded with a backdoor such that a target output is almost always generated in the presence of a trigger. Existing defense approaches mostly focus on detecting whether a neural network is ‘backdoored’ based on heuristics, e.g., activation patterns. To the best of our knowledge, the only line of work which certifies the absence of backdoor is based on randomized smoothing, which is known to significantly reduce neural network performance. In this work, we propose an approach to verify whether a given neural network is free of backdoor with a certain level of success rate. Our approach integrates statistical sampling as well as abstract interpretation. The experiment results show that our approach effectively verifies the absence of backdoor or generates backdoor triggers.","PeriodicalId":381028,"journal":{"name":"2022 9th NAFOSTED Conference on Information and Computer Science (NICS)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122615645","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}
