Many methods of artificial insertion have been developed using DNA, which has excellent data storage capacity. Most of these techniques are used to encode text data, while there has been little research on encoding other types of media. Methods for encoding images have very little studied, and most of them are dedicated to black-and-white images. The proposed method focuses on encoding a secret color image and then embedding it in another color image, this comprises two levels of security. The first level is provided by converting binary color images into DNA sequences. A second level is provided by embedding the bits of DNA sequence into LSBs of the cover image to generate the stego image. Extraction process is in the reverse procedure. The proposed method is significantly efficient, according to the experimental results.","PeriodicalId":56292,"journal":{"name":"Informatica","volume":"130 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135387901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, a sparse girth six base matrix is designed, which is then substituted by a difference exponent matrix derived from a basic exponent matrix based on the powers of a primitive element in a finite field Fq, to build long code-length and high code rate QC-LDPC codes. The proposed exponent matrix generation is a one-time procedure and hence, less number of computations is involved. According to the simulation results, the proposed QC-LDPC code with high code rate showed faster encoding-decoding speeds and reduced storage overhead compared to conventional LDPC, conventional QC-LDPC codes, and traditional RS codes. Simulation results showed that the QC-LDPC codes constructed using the proposed algorithm performed very well over AWGN channel. Hardware implementation of the proposed high rate QC-LDPC code (N = 1248, R = 0.9) in Software Defined Radio platform using the NI USRP 2920 hardware device displays very low bit error rates compared to conventional QC-LDPC codes and conventional LDPC codes of similar size and rate. Thus, from both the simulation and hardware implementation results, the proposed QC-LDPC codes with high code rate were found to be suitable for high data rate applications such as cloud data storage systems and 5G wireless communication systems.","PeriodicalId":56292,"journal":{"name":"Informatica","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135388259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, while this kernel-complexity generates the power of machine, it is also responsible for the computational load to execute this kernel. Moreover, insisting on a similarity function to be a positive definite kernel demands some properties to be satisfied that seem unproductive sometimes raising a question about which similarity measures to be used for classifier. We model Vapnik’s LPSVM proposing a new similarity function replacing kernel function. Following the strategy of ”Accuracy first, speed second”, we have modelled a similarity function that is mathematically well-defined depending on analysis as well as geometry and complex enough to train the machine for generating solid generalization ability. Being consistent with the theory of learning by Balcan and Blum [1], our similarity function does not need to be a valid kernel function and demands less computational cost for executing compared to its counterpart like RBF or other kernels while provides sufficient power to the classifier using its optimal complexity. Benchmarking shows that our similarity function based LPSVM poses test error 0.86 times of the most powerful RBF based QP SVM but demands only 0.40 times of its computational cost.","PeriodicalId":56292,"journal":{"name":"Informatica","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69808614","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The explotion of short-form videos on social media platforms has further intensified the interest in this domain. This research endeavors to focus on the problem of HAR in general short videos. In contrast to still images, video clips offer both spatial and temporal information, rendering it challenging to extract complementary information on appearance from still frames and motion between frames. This research makes a two-fold contribution. Firstly, we investigate the use of motion-embedded images in a variant of two-stream Convolutional Neural Network architecture, in which one stream captures motion using combined batches of frames, while another stream employs a normal image classification ConvNet to classify static appearance. Secondly, we create a novel dataset of Southeast Asian Sports short videos that encompasses both videos with and without effects, which is a modern factor that is lacking in all currently available datasets used for benchmarking models. The proposed model is trained and evaluated on two benchmarks: UCF-101 and SEAGS-V1. The results reveal that the proposed model yields competitive performance compared to prior attempts to address the same problem.","PeriodicalId":56292,"journal":{"name":"Informatica","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136349752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Approaching the challenging problem with deep learning alone is difficult because the data-driven models require large representative datasets with expert human annotations, which are not available for the steles and costly to obtain. In this article, we present a hybrid approach to spot keywords in stele images that combines data-driven deep learning with knowledge-based structural modeling and matching of Chu Nom characters. The main advantage of the proposed method is that it is annotation-free, i.e. no human data annotation is required. In an experimental evaluation, we demonstrate that keywords can be successfully spotted with a mean average precision of more than 70% when a single engraving style is considered.","PeriodicalId":56292,"journal":{"name":"Informatica","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136349755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For each architecture, its accuracy performance can be properly evaluated after hundreds (or thousands) of computationally expensive training epochs are performed to achieve proper network weights. A so-called zero-cost metric, Synaptic Flow, computed based on random network weight values at initialization, is found to exhibit certain correlations with the neural network test accuracy and can thus be used as an efficient proxy performance metric during the search. Besides, NAS in practice often involves not only optimizing for network accuracy performance but also optimizing for network complexity, such as model size, number of floating point operations, or latency, as well. In this article, we study various NAS problem formulations in which multiple aspects of deep neural networks are treated as multiple optimization objectives. We employ a widely-used multi-objective evolutionary algorithm, i.e., the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II), to approximate the optimal Pareto-optimal fronts for these NAS problem formulations. Experimental results on the NAS benchmark NATS-Bench show the advantages and disadvantages of each formulation.","PeriodicalId":56292,"journal":{"name":"Informatica","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136349976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although several approaches have been implemented to the study of complaints, studies have yet focused on a target scope of complaints. Examination of a target scope of complaints is crusial because the functions of complaints, such as evocation of emotion, use of grammar, and intention, are different depending on the target scope. We first tackle the construction and release of a complaint dataset of 6,418 tweets by annotating Japanese texts collected from Twitter with labels of the target scope. Our dataset is available at url{https://github.com/sociocom/JaGUCHI}. We then benchmark the annotated dataset with several machine learning baselines and obtain the best performance of 90.4 F1-score in detecting whether a text was a complaint or not, and a micro-F1 score of 72.2 in identifying the target scope label. Finally, we conducted case studies using our model to demonstrate that identifying a target scope of complaints is useful for sociological analysis.","PeriodicalId":56292,"journal":{"name":"Informatica","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136349758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
