Although Siamese neural networks have shown promise in resource-limited settings, their generalization ability across various image processing domains, especially for culturally specific scripts (e.g., Persian/Arabic numerals), remains understudied. This study introduces a Siamese-CNN with a multi-scale dynamic self-attention module, designed to enhance feature extraction and cross-domain generalization across various handwritten digit (Persian/Arabic, English), and fashion item datasets. The proposed framework integrates five distinct Siamese-CNN architectures, incorporating multi-scale attention mechanisms and dynamic weight-sharing strategies to improve feature discrimination in low-data regimes. The attention module refines feature representations adaptively, mitigating overfitting while capturing fine-grained details across different styles and scripts. Extensive experiments on the Hoda dataset, a benchmark with complex stroke structures and cultural specificity, demonstrate the superiority of the proposed model, achieving 98.34% accuracy a 6.01% improvement over previous Siamese approaches while maintaining high precision (99.32%), recall (97.35%), and F1-score (98.32%). With an average epoch time of 16.26 s, the model is computationally efficient, making it suitable for real-time applications. This study advances Siamese-CNNs for cross-domain image recognition by: (1) introducing a multi-scale adaptive attention strategy for feature refinement, (2) validating generalization across eight datasets, and (3) demonstrating the role of dynamic weight-sharing in improving representation learning under constrained resources. The proposed framework outperforms conventional methods in both accuracy and efficiency, paving the way for enhanced image recognition in handwritten text digitization, multilingual document analysis, and real-time visual perception tasks.</p>","PeriodicalId":721,"journal":{"name":"Optical Memory and Neural Networks","volume":"35 3","pages":"481 - 507"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149098384","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 proposed method generates 16 distinct 256-bit keys from the original image using a CNN, with the first key initiating the encryption process. The Lorenz attractor sequence shuffles image pixels, disrupting their spatial correlations, while a linked-list steganographic approach conceals each subsequent block’s key within the preceding block.

This process entails figuring out the locations, shapes, and size of components that make up a chip. Floor planning in VLSI is not an easy task considering that, a slight change in placement of the components can consumes a lot of energy and heat during processing of the signals inside the VLSI architecture. Thus, to propose a framework based on the Hybrid model comprised of graph neural networks and reinforcement learning methods in order to achieve optimized floor planning to reduce the heat and the size of the architecture. Initially, the benchmark GSRC floorset dataset with information about blocks, netlists and connectivity is taken into account. Then, the initial placement of blocks are processed by the Graph Neural Network (GNN) based on identifying the relations among the blocks, netlists and connectivity for all the components to make predictions for the placement of the components in the regions. These initially placed parameters are then optimized using the Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) agent that progressively tries and refines component layouts to improve the floorplan. The optimization process also aims to minimize important parameters such as total area, wire length, power usage and timing delays. The agent advances the layout by refinement in a series of steps until the layout is optimized to such a high level of efficiency and optimization that it satisfies the design goals, and enhances overall performance. Proposed method gives wire length of 15.3080 µm, Area of 519 400.1250 µm<sup>2</sup> and white space ratio of 0.5732% for n10 circuit respectively.

Sequential input is where LSTM networks excel, so that piece is tasked with pulling time-based signal out of the raw behavioral records. What it extracts then passes through MASS-guided XGBoost, a stage whose job is to sharpen how cleanly the two groups separate in feature space. Since ADHD samples are the smaller of the two classes in most such datasets, SMOTE generates additional synthetic minority-class examples before any training happens, so the model isn’t skewed toward predicting the majority class by default. The resulting system achieves an F1-score of 0.99, precision of 0.9980, recall of 0.9952 and overall accuracy of 0.9978 on held-out data. These numbers suggest that the two groups are very cleanly separable under this approach.
