The method realizes the optimized deployment of neural network algorithms for FPGA hardware platforms from three aspects: computational speed, flexible transplantation, and development methods. Replacing multiplication based on Mitchell algorithm not only breaks through the speed bottleneck of neural network hardware acceleration caused by long multiplication period, but also makes the parallel acceleration of neural network algorithm get rid of the dependence on the number of hardware multipliers in FPGA, which can give full play to the advantages of FPGA parallel acceleration and maximize the computing speed. Based on the configurable strategy of neural network parameters, the number of network layers and nodes within layers can be adjusted according to different logical resource of FPGA, improving the flexibility of neural network transplantation. The adoption of HLS development method overcomes the shortcomings of RTL method in designing complex neural network algorithms, such as high difficulty in development and long development cycle. Using the Cyclone V SE 5CSEBA6U23I7 FPGA as the target device, a parameter configurable BP neural network was designed based on the proposed method.

One approach to solve this problem is unrooted reconciliation, where the rooting edge is postulated based on the split of the root from a given species tree. In this paper, we propose a novel variant of the gene tree rooting problem, where the gene tree root is inferred using a phylogenetic network of the species present in the gene tree. To obtain the best rooting, unrooted reconciliation can be applied, where the unrooted gene tree is jointly reconciled with a set of splits inferred from the network. However, the exponential size of the set induced by display trees of the network makes this approach computationally prohibitive. To address this, we propose a broader and easier-to-control set of splits based on the structural properties of the network. We then derive exact mathematical formulas for the rooting problem and propose two general rooting algorithms to handle cases where the input network does not meet the initial requirements. Our experimental study based on simulated gene trees and networks demonstrates that our algorithms infer gene tree rootings correctly or with a small error in most cases.\u0000</p>","PeriodicalId":50231,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Combinatorial Optimization","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141187669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But there is no reliable method for predicting diabetic severity that shows how the disease will affect various body organs in the future<b>.</b> Therefore, this paper introduced Optimized Dual Directional Temporal convolution and Attention based Density Clustering (ODDTADC) method for predicting and classifying risk level in diabetic patients. In the diabetic prediction stage, the prediction is done by using an Integrated Dual Directional Temporal Convolution and an Enriched Remora Optimization Algorithm. Here, dual directional temporal convolution is used to extract temporal features by integrating dilated convolution and casual convolution in the feature extraction layer. Then, the attention module is used instead of max-pooling to emphasize the various features' importance in the feature aggregation layer. The Enriched Remora Optimization Algorithm is used to find optimal hyper parameters for Integrated Dual Directional Temporal Convolution. In the classification of stages based on risk level, the values from stage-I are fed into the Attention based Density Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise, which allocate various weights based on their density values in the Core Points. Based on the results, the Nested Long Short-Term Memory is utilized to classify the risk levels of diabetic patients over a period of two or three years. Experimental evaluations were performed on five datasets, including PIMA Indian Diabetics Database, UCI Machine Learning Repository Diabetics Dataset, Heart Diseases Dataset, Chronic Disease Dataset and Diabetic Retinopathy Debrecen Dataset.
