An End-To-End Hyperbolic Deep Graph Convolutional Neural Network Framework

Graph Convolutional Neural Networks(GCNs)have been widely used in various fields due to their powerful capabilities in processing graph-structured data.However,GCNs encounter significant challenges when applied to scale-free graphs with power-law distributions,resulting in substantial distortions.Moreover,most of the existing GCN models are shallow structures,which restricts their ability to capture dependencies among distant nodes and more refined high-order node features in scale-free graphs with hierarchical structures.To more broadly and precisely apply GCNs to real-world graphs exhibiting scale-free or hierarchical structures and utilize multi-level aggregation of GCNs for capturing high-level information in local representations,we propose the Hyperbolic Deep Graph Convolutional Neural Network(HDGCNN),an end-to-end deep graph representation learning framework that can map scale-free graphs from Euclidean space to hyperbolic space.In HDGCNN,we define the fundamental operations of deep graph convolutional neural networks in hyperbolic space.Additionally,we introduce a hyperbolic feature transformation method based on identity mapping and a dense connection scheme based on a novel non-local message passing framework.In addition,we present a neighborhood aggregation method that combines initial structural featureswith hyperbolic attention coefficients.Through the above methods,HDGCNN effectively leverages both the structural features and node features of graph data,enabling enhanced exploration of non-local structural features and more refined node features in scale-free or hierarchical graphs.Experimental results demonstrate that HDGCNN achieves remarkable performance improvements over state-ofthe-art GCNs in node classification and link prediction tasks,even when utilizing low-dimensional embedding representations.Furthermore,when compared to shallow hyperbolic graph convolutional neural network models,HDGCNN exhibits notable advantages and performance enhancements.

Nonparametric Statistical Feature Scaling Based Quadratic Regressive Convolution Deep Neural Network for Software Fault Prediction

The development of defect prediction plays a significant role in improving software quality. Such predictions are used to identify defective modules before the testing and to minimize the time and cost. The software with defects negatively impacts operational costs and finally affects customer satisfaction. Numerous approaches exist to predict software defects. However, the timely and accurate software bugs are the major challenging issues. To improve the timely and accurate software defect prediction, a novel technique called Nonparametric Statistical feature scaled QuAdratic regressive convolution Deep nEural Network (SQADEN) is introduced. The proposed SQADEN technique mainly includes two major processes namely metric or feature selection and classification. First, the SQADEN uses the nonparametric statistical Torgerson–Gower scaling technique for identifying the relevant software metrics by measuring the similarity using the dice coefficient. The feature selection process is used to minimize the time complexity of software fault prediction. With the selected metrics, software fault perdition with the help of the Quadratic Censored regressive convolution deep neural network-based classification. The deep learning classifier analyzes the training and testing samples using the contingency correlation coefficient. The softstep activation function is used to provide the final fault prediction results. To minimize the error, the Nelder–Mead method is applied to solve non-linear least-squares problems. Finally, accurate classification results with a minimum error are obtained at the output layer. Experimental evaluation is carried out with different quantitative metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, F-measure, and time complexity. The analyzed results demonstrate the superior performance of our proposed SQADEN technique with maximum accuracy, sensitivity and specificity by 3%, 3%, 2% and 3% and minimum time and space by 13% and 15% when compared with the two state-of-the-art methods.

Compressive strength of concrete is a significant factor to assess building structure health and safety.Therefore,various methods have been developed to evaluate the compressive strength of concrete structures.However,previous methods have several challenges in costly,time-consuming,and unsafety.To address these drawbacks,this paper proposed a digital vision based concrete compressive strength evaluating model using deep convolutional neural network(DCNN).The proposed model presented an alternative approach to evaluating the concrete strength and contributed to improving efficiency and accuracy.The model was developed with 4,000 digital images and 61,996 images extracted from video recordings collected from concrete samples.The experimental results indicated a root mean square error(RMSE)value of 3.56(MPa),demonstrating a strong feasibility that the proposed model can be utilized to predict the concrete strength with digital images of their surfaces and advantages to overcome the previous limitations.This experiment contributed to provide the basis that could be extended to future research with image analysis technique and artificial neural network in the diagnosis of concrete building structures.

Predicting Concrete Compressive Strength Using Deep Convolutional Neural Network Based on Image Characteristics

In this study,we examined the efficacy of a deep convolutional neural network(DCNN)in recognizing concrete surface images and predicting the compressive strength of concrete.A digital single-lens reflex(DSLR)camera and microscope were simultaneously used to obtain concrete surface images used as the input data for the DCNN.Thereafter,training,validation,and testing of the DCNNs were performed based on the DSLR camera and microscope image data.Results of the analysis indicated that the DCNN employing DSLR image data achieved a relatively higher accuracy.The accuracy of the DSLR-derived image data was attributed to the relatively wider range of the DSLR camera,which was beneficial for extracting a larger number of features.Moreover,the DSLR camera procured more realistic images than the microscope.Thus,when the compressive strength of concrete was evaluated using the DCNN employing a DSLR camera,time and cost were reduced,whereas the usefulness increased.Furthermore,an indirect comparison of the accuracy of the DCNN with that of existing non-destructive methods for evaluating the strength of concrete proved the reliability of DCNN-derived concrete strength predictions.In addition,it was determined that the DCNN used for concrete strength evaluations in this study can be further expanded to detect and evaluate various deteriorative factors that affect the durability of structures,such as salt damage,carbonation,sulfation,corrosion,and freezing-thawing.

A Degradation Type Adaptive and Deep CNN-Based Image Classification Model for Degraded Images

Deep Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs)have achieved high accuracy in image classification tasks,however,most existing models are trained on high-quality images that are not subject to image degradation.In practice,images are often affected by various types of degradation which can significantly impact the performance of CNNs.In this work,we investigate the influence of image degradation on three typical image classification CNNs and propose a Degradation Type Adaptive Image Classification Model(DTA-ICM)to improve the existing CNNs’classification accuracy on degraded images.The proposed DTA-ICM comprises two key components:a Degradation Type Predictor(DTP)and a Degradation Type Specified Image Classifier(DTS-IC)set,which is trained on existing CNNs for specified types of degradation.The DTP predicts the degradation type of a test image,and the corresponding DTS-IC is then selected to classify the image.We evaluate the performance of both the proposed DTP and the DTA-ICMon the Caltech 101 database.The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed DTP achieves an average accuracy of 99.70%.Moreover,the proposed DTA-ICM,based on AlexNet,VGG19,and ResNet152,exhibits an average accuracy improvement of 20.63%,18.22%,and 12.9%,respectively,compared with the original CNNs in classifying degraded images.It suggests that the proposed DTA-ICM can effectively improve the classification performance of existing CNNs on degraded images,which has important practical implications.

An Optimized Deep Residual Network with a Depth Concatenated Block for Handwritten Characters Classification

Even though much advancements have been achieved with regards to the recognition of handwritten characters,researchers still face difficulties with the handwritten character recognition problem,especially with the advent of new datasets like the Extended Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology dataset(EMNIST).The EMNIST dataset represents a challenge for both machine-learning and deep-learning techniques due to inter-class similarity and intra-class variability.Inter-class similarity exists because of the similarity between the shapes of certain characters in the dataset.The presence of intra-class variability is mainly due to different shapes written by different writers for the same character.In this research,we have optimized a deep residual network to achieve higher accuracy vs.the published state-of-the-art results.This approach is mainly based on the prebuilt deep residual network model ResNet18,whose architecture has been enhanced by using the optimal number of residual blocks and the optimal size of the receptive field of the first convolutional filter,the replacement of the first max-pooling filter by an average pooling filter,and the addition of a drop-out layer before the fully connected layer.A distinctive modification has been introduced by replacing the final addition layer with a depth concatenation layer,which resulted in a novel deep architecture having higher accuracy vs.the pure residual architecture.Moreover,the dataset images’sizes have been adjusted to optimize their visibility in the network.Finally,by tuning the training hyperparameters and using rotation and shear augmentations,the proposed model outperformed the state-of-the-art models by achieving average accuracies of 95.91%and 90.90%for the Letters and Balanced dataset sections,respectively.Furthermore,the average accuracies were improved to 95.9%and 91.06%for the Letters and Balanced sections,respectively,by using a group of 5 instances of the trained models and averaging the output class probabilities.

Traditional vehicle detection algorithms use traverse search based vehicle candidate generation and hand crafted based classifier training for vehicle candidate verification.These types of methods generally have high processing times and low vehicle detection performance.To address this issue,a visual saliency and deep sparse convolution hierarchical model based vehicle detection algorithm is proposed.A visual saliency calculation is firstly used to generate a small vehicle candidate area.The vehicle candidate sub images are then loaded into a sparse deep convolution hierarchical model with an SVM-based classifier to perform the final detection.The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is with 94.81% correct rate and 0.78% false detection rate on the existing datasets and the real road pictures captured by our group,which outperforms the existing state-of-the-art algorithms.More importantly,high discriminative multi-scale features are generated by deep sparse convolution network which has broad application prospects in target recognition in the field of intelligent vehicle.

Axial Assembled Correspondence Network for Few-Shot Semantic Segmentation

Few-shot semantic segmentation aims at training a model that can segment novel classes in a query image with only a few densely annotated support exemplars.It remains a challenge because of large intra-class variations between the support and query images.Existing approaches utilize 4D convolutions to mine semantic correspondence between the support and query images.However,they still suffer from heavy computation,sparse correspondence,and large memory.We propose axial assembled correspondence network(AACNet)to alleviate these issues.The key point of AACNet is the proposed axial assembled 4D kernel,which constructs the basic block for semantic correspondence encoder(SCE).Furthermore,we propose the deblurring equations to provide more robust correspondence for the aforementioned SCE and design a novel fusion module to mix correspondences in a learnable manner.Experiments on PASCAL-5~i reveal that our AACNet achieves a mean intersection-over-union score of 65.9%for 1-shot segmentation and 70.6%for 5-shot segmentation,surpassing the state-of-the-art method by 5.8%and 5.0%respectively.
