Geo-AI to aid disaster response by memory-augmented deep reservoir computing
It is a fact that natural disasters often cause severe damage both to ecosystems and humans. Moreover, man-made disasters can have enormous moral and economic consequences for people. A typical example is the large deadly and catastrophic explosion in Beirut on 4 August 2020, which destroyed a very large area of the city. This research paper introduces a Geo-AI disaster response computer vision system, capable to map an area using material from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). SAR is a unique form of radar that can penetrate the clouds and collect data day and night under any weather conditions. Specifically, the Memory-Augmented Deep Convolutional Echo State Network (MA/DCESN) is introduced for the first time in the literature, as an advanced Machine Vision (MAV) architecture. It uses a meta-learning technique, which is based on a memory-augmented approach. The target is the employment of Deep Reservoir Computing (DRC) for domain adaptation. The developed Deep Convolutional Echo State Network (DCESN) combines a classic Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), with a Deep Echo State Network (DESN), and analog neurons with sparse random connections. Its training is performed following the Recursive Least Square (RLS) method. In addition, the integration of external memory allows the storage of useful data from past processes, while facilitating the rapid integration of new information, without the need for retraining. The proposed DCESN implements a set of original modifications regarding training setting, memory retrieval mechanisms, addressing techniques, and ways of assigning attention weights to memory vectors. As it is experimentally shown, the whole approach produces remarkable stability, high generalization efficiency and significant classification accuracy, significantly extending the state-of-the-art Machine Vision methods.
期刊介绍:
Integrated Computer-Aided Engineering (ICAE) was founded in 1993. "Based on the premise that interdisciplinary thinking and synergistic collaboration of disciplines can solve complex problems, open new frontiers, and lead to true innovations and breakthroughs, the cornerstone of industrial competitiveness and advancement of the society" as noted in the inaugural issue of the journal.
The focus of ICAE is the integration of leading edge and emerging computer and information technologies for innovative solution of engineering problems. The journal fosters interdisciplinary research and presents a unique forum for innovative computer-aided engineering. It also publishes novel industrial applications of CAE, thus helping to bring new computational paradigms from research labs and classrooms to reality. Areas covered by the journal include (but are not limited to) artificial intelligence, advanced signal processing, biologically inspired computing, cognitive modeling, concurrent engineering, database management, distributed computing, evolutionary computing, fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms, geometric modeling, intelligent and adaptive systems, internet-based technologies, knowledge discovery and engineering, machine learning, mechatronics, mobile computing, multimedia technologies, networking, neural network computing, object-oriented systems, optimization and search, parallel processing, robotics virtual reality, and visualization techniques.
