The advances in accelerator hardware have made the progress in neural networks possible. Accelerator hardware is prevalent on desktops and high-end computing systems and may not always be available on low compute devices deployed on the Edge of Internet of Things. The capabilities of neural network need to be ported to hardware that can run without accelerators. Benchmark setting neural networks like EfficientNet are too heavy for deployment on systems with low compute capabilities and can benefit from reduction in their memory footprint and optimized to improve their inference times. To this end we propose the design of EfficientNeXt and demonstrate its inference capabilities with reduced memory footprint (by $sim$56%), increased accuracy and reduced inference time (by $sim$30%) on an ARM based device.","PeriodicalId":425057,"journal":{"name":"2023 6th International Conference on Information and Computer Technologies (ICICT)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116735499","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 detection and segmentation of cells or nuclei play an important role in describing molecular morphological information. The accuracy of human tissue cells segmentation still needs to be improved, and the network segmentation results have boundary blurring and noise pixels interference. In this paper, an improved U-net network model is proposed. Aiming at the problem of simple stacking of the same convolution operation, a parallel structure for multi-scale image feature extraction is designed. Through the setting of multiple convolution operations and combining different feature fusion methods, a better convolution block structure is obtained. The network segmentation image is optimized through the secondary segmentation of Otsu method and morphological processing, and the final segmentation result is obtained. Finally, the cell contour and centroid are displayed on the original image, and the nuclear center was calculated by image moment. The experiments were carried out on the human organ H&E cell data set. The experimental results show that the Dice coefficient, Jaccard similarity coefficient, recall and accuracy of the improved U-net network model for H&E cell image segmentation reach 0.8260, 0.60, 0.8380 and 0.8270 respectively. Compared with U-net network, the above parameters of the improved U-net model are increased by 1.7%, 3.9%, 1.2% and 2.2% respectively. Compared with CNN network, the accuracy rate is improved by 3.5%, and cell segmentation is more accurate than other literatures.","PeriodicalId":425057,"journal":{"name":"2023 6th International Conference on Information and Computer Technologies (ICICT)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126403814","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}

Due to their complexity, these FER systems need to be implemented on high-performance hardware, which makes them unsuitable for embedded devices. To address this challenge, we propose a methodology for the design of low-complexity, CNN-based FER systems. Our methodology includes data preprocessing, Local Binary Pattern (LBP) implementation, Data Augmentation (DA), and CNN design. Here, we also introduce the Model M6, a single-channel CNN that reaches an accuracy of 94% in less than 30 epochs. M6 has 306,182 parameters that correspond to 1.17 MB of memory. Therefore, our methodology and M6 model are feasible for implementation onto embedded systems capable of computing floating point operations. We validated our methodology and M6 model using 66 tests with 6 CNN models and 4 training parameters (batch size, learning rate, number of epochs, optimizer). This validation was performed using the Japanese Female Facial Expression (JAFFE) dataset and TensorFlow. In each test, the relationship between parameters, layers, overfitting, and underfitting was studied. Moreover, we present a step-by-step guideline on how to design the single-channel CNN and provide open-source code for readers interested in reproducing our work.","PeriodicalId":425057,"journal":{"name":"2023 6th International Conference on Information and Computer Technologies (ICICT)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114714747","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}

There are several techniques to solve multi-objective optimization problems in which evolutionary algorithms are often used because they simulate the principle of natural evolution and work on population. In evolutionary algorithms, to ensure the ability to find solutions globally and quickly find the optimal solution, we must maintain the exploratory and exploitative capacities of the evolution, which also means the exploration and the exploitation of algorithms. In multi-objective optimization, population quality in diversity and convergence is essential to achieve the best possible solution set. The analysis showed that the relationship between the properties of the population directed by evolution and the ability to explore and exploit the evolutionary process is quite clear. This research evaluated the population quality according to generations of the evolutionary process based on popular measures and adjusted the algorithm to create an equilibrium transformation of those metrics, thereby better maintaining the balance between the exploration and exploitation of the population. Experiments performed on the direction-based multi-objective evolutionary algorithm with typical benchmark sets showed that the results bring good performance both in terms of solution quality and balance of the evolutionary process.","PeriodicalId":425057,"journal":{"name":"2023 6th International Conference on Information and Computer Technologies (ICICT)","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131846840","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}

A shallow detection layer is added to detect smaller defect targets and fused with features of the deep network. An optimized anchor clustering method was used to obtain a more suitable size for the dataset. The Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) is introduced to reweight and assign important feature channels to learn more valuable features. The re-parameterization convolution (RepConv) module is integrated to decouple the multi-branch training model into a single-way inference model by structural re-parameterization, which improves the model’s training performance and reduces inference time. The experimental results show that the detection accuracy of the proposed algorithm reaches 98.3% on the extended dataset, which is 3.4% higher than that of the original algorithm.

In the same spirit, multimodal mobility and Mobility as a Service (MaaS) have appear as key concepts in the professional sector with the goal to fulfill a wide number of technical and functional requirements, e.g., the delivery time and location, for each construction project, considering planning that may change depending on the evolution of the overall project.

On one hand, sharing data with collaborators increases the visibility of the work. On the other hand, the abundance of data on multiple platforms makes it hard for researchers to find data relevant to their own research. To overcome this challenge, a dataset recommendation system capable of finding relevant datasets from multiple resources would be helpful. In the past two decades, few dataset recommendation methods have been implemented, that are mostly domain-specific or simply recommend datasets based on keywords. We believe a general dataset recommender system that recommends datasets with information either extracted from another dataset or supplied by researchers can enhance researchers’ efficiency in searching for relevant data and significantly improve their research efficiency. This work adopts an information retrieval (IR) paradigm for dataset recommendation. By extracting summary information from each dataset and generating a profile for each, we use and compare multiple content-based recommendation methods to recommend the most-relevant datasets in GEO, SRA, and several other repositories. Our results and evaluations prove the usefulness and need for such system.","PeriodicalId":425057,"journal":{"name":"2023 6th International Conference on Information and Computer Technologies (ICICT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115187117","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}
