Due to the heterogeneity of processing capability, the cloud, fog, and device layers in F-RANs provide hierarchical intelligence via centralized, distributed, and federated learning. In addition, cross-layer learning is also introduced to further reduce the demand for the memory size of the mobile devices. On the other hand, AI provides F-RANs with technologies and methods to deal with massive data and make smarter decisions. Specifically, machine learning tools such as deep neural networks are introduced for data processing, while reinforcement learning(RL) algorithms are adopted for network optimization and decisions. Then, two examples of AI-based applications in F-RANs, i.e., health monitoring and intelligent transportation systems, are presented, followed by a case study of an RL-based caching application in the presence of spatio-temporal unknown content popularity to showcase the potential of applying AI to F-RANs.展开更多

Even though the real estate auction market has grown in importance in the financial, economic, and investment sectors, few artificial intelligence-based research has tried to predict the auction values of real estate in the past. According to the objectives of this research, artificial intelligence and statistical methods will be used to create forecasting models for real estate auction prices. A multiple regression model and an artificial neural network are used in conjunction with one another to build the forecasting models. For the empirical study, the study utilizes data from Ghana apartment auctions from 2016 to 2020 to anticipate auction prices and evaluate the forecasting accuracy of the various models available at the time. Compared to the conventional Multiple Regression Analysis, using artificial intelligence systems for real estate appraisal is becoming a more viable option (MRA). The Artificial Neural network model exhibits the most outstanding performance, and efficient zonal segmentation based on the auction evaluation price enhances the model’s prediction accuracy even more. There is a statistically significant difference between the two models when it comes to forecasting the values of real estate auctions.展开更多

文摘In 2023,pivotal advancements in artificial intelligence(AI)have significantly experienced.With that in mind,traditional methodologies,notably the p-y approach,have struggled to accurately model the complex,nonlinear soil-structure interactions of laterally loaded large-diameter drilled shafts.This study undertakes a rigorous evaluation of machine learning(ML)and deep learning(DL)techniques,offering a comprehensive review of their application in addressing this geotechnical challenge.A thorough review and comparative analysis have been carried out to investigate various AI models such as artificial neural networks(ANNs),relevance vector machines(RVMs),and least squares support vector machines(LSSVMs).It was found that despite ML approaches outperforming classic methods in predicting the lateral behavior of piles,their‘black box'nature and reliance only on a data-driven approach made their results showcase statistical robustness rather than clear geotechnical insights,a fact underscored by the mathematical equations derived from these studies.Furthermore,the research identified a gap in the availability of drilled shaft datasets,limiting the extendibility of current findings to large-diameter piles.An extensive dataset,compiled from a series of lateral loading tests on free-head drilled shaft with varying properties and geometries,was introduced to bridge this gap.The paper concluded with a direction for future research,proposes the integration of physics-informed neural networks(PINNs),combining data-driven models with fundamental geotechnical principles to improve both the interpretability and predictive accuracy of AI applications in geotechnical engineering,marking a novel contribution to the field.

文摘Neural Networks (NN) are the functional unit of Deep Learning and are known to mimic the behavior of the human brain to solve complex data-driven problems. Whenever we train our own neural networks, we need to take care of something called the generalization of the neural network. The performance of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) mostly depends upon its generalization capability. In this paper, we propose an innovative approach to enhance the generalization capability of artificial neural networks (ANN) using structural redundancy. A novel perspective on handling input data prototypes and their impact on the development of generalization, which could improve to ANN architectures accuracy and reliability is described.

文摘Artificial neural networks(ANNs)have led to landmark changes in many fields,but they still differ significantly fromthemechanisms of real biological neural networks and face problems such as high computing costs,excessive computing power,and so on.Spiking neural networks(SNNs)provide a new approach combined with brain-like science to improve the computational energy efficiency,computational architecture,and biological credibility of current deep learning applications.In the early stage of development,its poor performance hindered the application of SNNs in real-world scenarios.In recent years,SNNs have made great progress in computational performance and practicability compared with the earlier research results,and are continuously producing significant results.Although there are already many pieces of literature on SNNs,there is still a lack of comprehensive review on SNNs from the perspective of improving performance and practicality as well as incorporating the latest research results.Starting from this issue,this paper elaborates on SNNs along the complete usage process of SNNs including network construction,data processing,model training,development,and deployment,aiming to provide more comprehensive and practical guidance to promote the development of SNNs.Therefore,the connotation and development status of SNNcomputing is reviewed systematically and comprehensively from four aspects:composition structure,data set,learning algorithm,software/hardware development platform.Then the development characteristics of SNNs in intelligent computing are summarized,the current challenges of SNNs are discussed and the future development directions are also prospected.Our research shows that in the fields of machine learning and intelligent computing,SNNs have comparable network scale and performance to ANNs and the ability to challenge large datasets and a variety of tasks.The advantages of SNNs over ANNs in terms of energy efficiency and spatial-temporal data processing have been more fully exploited.And the development of programming and deployment tools has lowered the threshold for the use of SNNs.SNNs show a broad development prospect for brain-like computing.

文摘AI development has brought great success to upgrading the information age.At the same time,the large-scale artificial neural network for building AI systems is thirsty for computing power,which is barely satisfied by the conventional computing hardware.In the post-Moore era,the increase in computing power brought about by the size reduction of CMOS in very large-scale integrated circuits(VLSIC)is challenging to meet the growing demand for AI computing power.To address the issue,technical approaches like neuromorphic computing attract great attention because of their feature of breaking Von-Neumann architecture,and dealing with AI algorithms much more parallelly and energy efficiently.Inspired by the human neural network architecture,neuromorphic computing hardware is brought to life based on novel artificial neurons constructed by new materials or devices.Although it is relatively difficult to deploy a training process in the neuromorphic architecture like spiking neural network(SNN),the development in this field has incubated promising technologies like in-sensor computing,which brings new opportunities for multidisciplinary research,including the field of optoelectronic materials and devices,artificial neural networks,and microelectronics integration technology.The vision chips based on the architectures could reduce unnecessary data transfer and realize fast and energy-efficient visual cognitive processing.This paper reviews firstly the architectures and algorithms of SNN,and artificial neuron devices supporting neuromorphic computing,then the recent progress of in-sensor computing vision chips,which all will promote the development of AI.
文摘The lethal brain tumor “Glioblastoma” has the propensity to grow over time. To improve patient outcomes, it is essential to classify GBM accurately and promptly in order to provide a focused and individualized treatment plan. Despite this, deep learning methods, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), have demonstrated a high level of accuracy in a myriad of medical image analysis applications as a result of recent technical breakthroughs. The overall aim of the research is to investigate how CNNs can be used to classify GBMs using data from medical imaging, to improve prognosis precision and effectiveness. This research study will demonstrate a suggested methodology that makes use of the CNN architecture and is trained using a database of MRI pictures with this tumor. The constructed model will be assessed based on its overall performance. Extensive experiments and comparisons with conventional machine learning techniques and existing classification methods will also be made. It will be crucial to emphasize the possibility of early and accurate prediction in a clinical workflow because it can have a big impact on treatment planning and patient outcomes. The paramount objective is to not only address the classification challenge but also to outline a clear pathway towards enhancing prognosis precision and treatment effectiveness.

文摘The interplay between artificial intelligence(AI) and fog radio access networks(F-RANs) is investigated in this work from two perspectives: how F-RANs enable hierarchical AI to be deployed in wireless networks and how AI makes F-RANs smarter to better serve mobile devices. Due to the heterogeneity of processing capability, the cloud, fog, and device layers in F-RANs provide hierarchical intelligence via centralized, distributed, and federated learning. In addition, cross-layer learning is also introduced to further reduce the demand for the memory size of the mobile devices. On the other hand, AI provides F-RANs with technologies and methods to deal with massive data and make smarter decisions. Specifically, machine learning tools such as deep neural networks are introduced for data processing, while reinforcement learning(RL) algorithms are adopted for network optimization and decisions. Then, two examples of AI-based applications in F-RANs, i.e., health monitoring and intelligent transportation systems, are presented, followed by a case study of an RL-based caching application in the presence of spatio-temporal unknown content popularity to showcase the potential of applying AI to F-RANs.

文摘To transition from conventional to intelligent real estate, the real estate industry must enhance its embrace of disruptive technology. Even though the real estate auction market has grown in importance in the financial, economic, and investment sectors, few artificial intelligence-based research has tried to predict the auction values of real estate in the past. According to the objectives of this research, artificial intelligence and statistical methods will be used to create forecasting models for real estate auction prices. A multiple regression model and an artificial neural network are used in conjunction with one another to build the forecasting models. For the empirical study, the study utilizes data from Ghana apartment auctions from 2016 to 2020 to anticipate auction prices and evaluate the forecasting accuracy of the various models available at the time. Compared to the conventional Multiple Regression Analysis, using artificial intelligence systems for real estate appraisal is becoming a more viable option (MRA). The Artificial Neural network model exhibits the most outstanding performance, and efficient zonal segmentation based on the auction evaluation price enhances the model’s prediction accuracy even more. There is a statistically significant difference between the two models when it comes to forecasting the values of real estate auctions.

文摘In modern terminology,“organoids”refer to cells that grow in a specific three-dimensional(3D)environment in vitro,sharing similar structures with their source organs or tissues.Observing themorphology or growth characteristics of organoids through a microscope is a commonly used method of organoid analysis.However,it is difficult,time-consuming,and inaccurate to screen and analyze organoids only manually,a problem which cannot be easily solved with traditional technology.Artificial intelligence(AI)technology has proven to be effective in many biological and medical research fields,especially in the analysis of single-cell or hematoxylin/eosin stained tissue slices.When used to analyze organoids,AI should also provide more efficient,quantitative,accurate,and fast solutions.In this review,we will first briefly outline the application areas of organoids and then discuss the shortcomings of traditional organoid measurement and analysis methods.Secondly,we will summarize the development from machine learning to deep learning and the advantages of the latter,and then describe how to utilize a convolutional neural network to solve the challenges in organoid observation and analysis.Finally,we will discuss the limitations of current AI used in organoid research,as well as opportunities and future research directions.
