Single event effects evaluation on convolution neural network in Xilinx 28 nm system on chip

Convolutional neural networks(CNNs) exhibit excellent performance in the areas of image recognition and object detection, which can enhance the intelligence level of spacecraft. However, in aerospace, energetic particles, such as heavy ions, protons, and alpha particles, can induce single event effects(SEEs) that lead CNNs to malfunction and can significantly impact the reliability of a CNN system. In this paper, the MNIST CNN system was constructed based on a 28 nm systemon-chip(SoC), and then an alpha particle irradiation experiment and fault injection were applied to evaluate the SEE of the CNN system. Various types of soft errors in the CNN system have been detected, and the SEE cross sections have been calculated. Furthermore, the mechanisms behind some soft errors have been explained. This research will provide technical support for the design of radiation-resistant artificial intelligence chips.

Combing Type-Aware Attention and Graph Convolutional Networks for Event Detection

Event detection(ED)is aimed at detecting event occurrences and categorizing them.This task has been previously solved via recognition and classification of event triggers(ETs),which are defined as the phrase or word most clearly expressing event occurrence.Thus,current approaches require both annotated triggers as well as event types in training data.Nevertheless,triggers are non-essential in ED,and it is time-wasting for annotators to identify the“most clearly”word from a sentence,particularly in longer sentences.To decrease manual effort,we evaluate event detectionwithout triggers.We propose a novel framework that combines Type-aware Attention and Graph Convolutional Networks(TA-GCN)for event detection.Specifically,the task is identified as a multi-label classification problem.We first encode the input sentence using a novel type-aware neural network with attention mechanisms.Then,a Graph Convolutional Networks(GCN)-based multilabel classification model is exploited for event detection.Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness.

Discrimination of mining microseismic events and blasts using convolutional neural networks and original waveform

Microseismic monitoring system is one of the effective methods for deep mining geo-stress monitoring.The principle of microseismic monitoring system is to analyze the mechanical parameters contained in microseismic events for providing accurate information of rockmass.The accurate identification of microseismic events and blasts determines the timeliness and accuracy of early warning of microseismic monitoring technology.An image identification model based on Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)is established in this paper for the seismic waveforms of microseismic events and blasts.Firstly,the training set,test set,and validation set are collected,which are composed of 5250,1500,and 750 seismic waveforms of microseismic events and blasts,respectively.The classified data sets are preprocessed and input into the constructed CNN in CPU mode for training.Results show that the accuracies of microseismic events and blasts are 99.46%and 99.33%in the test set,respectively.The accuracies of microseismic events and blasts are 100%and 98.13%in the validation set,respectively.The proposed method gives superior performance when compared with existed methods.The accuracies of models using logistic regression and artificial neural network(ANN)based on the same data set are 54.43%and 67.9%in the test set,respectively.Then,the ROC curves of the three models are obtained and compared,which show that the CNN gives an absolute advantage in this classification model when the original seismic waveform are used in training the model.It not only decreases the influence of individual differences in experience,but also removes the errors induced by source and waveform parameters.It is proved that the established discriminant method improves the efficiency and accuracy of microseismic data processing for monitoring rock instability and seismicity.

Prediction of risk of cardiovascular events in patients with mild to moderate coronary artery lesions using naive Bayesian networks

Background This prospective study integrated multiple clinical indexes and inflammatory markers associated with coronary atherosclerotic vulnerable plaque to establish a risk prediction model that can evaluate a patient with certain risk factors for the likelihood of the occurrence of a coronary heart disease event within one year. Methods This study enrolled in 2686 patients with mild to moderate coronary artery lesions. Eighty-five indexes were recorded, included baseline clinical data, laboratory studies, and procedural characteristics. During the 1-year follow-up, 233 events occurred, five patients died, four patients suffered a nonfatal myocardial infarction, four patients underwent revascularization, and 220 patients were readmitted for angina pectoris. The Risk Estimation Model and the Simplified Model were conducted using Bayesian networks and compared with the Single Factor Models. Results The area under the curve was 0.88 for the Bayesian Model and 0.85 for the Simplified Model, while the Single Factor Model had a maximum area under the curve of 0.65. Conclusion The new models can be used to assess the short-term risk of individual coronary heart disease events and may assist in guiding preventive care.

Biodiversity metrics on ecological networks: Demonstrated with animal gastrointestinal microbiomes

Biodiversity has become a terminology familiar to virtually every citizen in modern societies.It is said that ecology studies the economy of nature,and economy studies the ecology of humans;then measuring biodiversity should be similar with measuring national wealth.Indeed,there have been many parallels between ecology and economics,actually beyond analogies.For example,arguably the second most widely used biodiversity metric,Simpson(1949)’s diversity index,is a function of familiar Gini-index in economics.One of the biggest challenges has been the high“diversity”of diversity indexes due to their excessive“speciation”-there are so many indexes,similar to each country’s sovereign currency-leaving confused diversity practitioners in dilemma.In 1973,Hill introduced the concept of“numbers equivalent”,which is based on Renyi entropy and originated in economics,but possibly due to his abstruse interpretation of the concept,his message was not widely received by ecologists until nearly four decades later.What Hill suggested was similar to link the US dollar to gold at the rate of$35 per ounce under the Bretton Woods system.The Hill numbers now are considered most appropriate biodiversity metrics system,unifying Shannon,Simpson and other diversity indexes.Here,we approach to another paradigmatic shift-measuring biodiversity on ecological networks-demonstrated with animal gastrointestinal microbiomes representing four major invertebrate classes and all six vertebrate classes.The network diversity can reveal the diversity of species interactions,which is a necessary step for understanding the spatial and temporal structures and dynamics of biodiversity across environmental gradients.

Observer-based event-triggered networked multi-drives speed consensus

The problem of having an identical speed when dealing with multiple motors always exists in the industry.There are several methods to address the problem,but all the methodologies have two common drawbacks.Firstly,the control design requires continuous information on the desired speed and the actual speed of motors;secondly,it is sometimes difficult to directly measure the speed variables.In the proposed study,both of these drawbacks are addressed by designing an observer-based event-triggered networked multi-agent system.The proposed method uses the leader following consensus approach with a centralized event triggering control design so that whenever a follower's speed diverges from that of the leader,an event is triggered,which communicates and resets all the agents to the leader's speed.Moreover,an observer is designed such that the ith agent uses its jth neighbor agent and observer speed information to estimate the leader's speed.The stability of the proposed design is formulated by Lyapunov stability,while the simulation results endorse the design concepts and energy saving.

AED-Net:An Abnormal Event Detection Network

It has long been a challenging task to detect an anomaly in a crowded scene.In this paper,a selfsupervised framework called the abnormal event detection network(AED-Net),which is composed of a principal component analysis network(PCAnet)and kernel principal component analysis(kPCA),is proposed to address this problem.Using surveillance video sequences of different scenes as raw data,the PCAnet is trained to extract high-level semantics of the crowd’s situation.Next,kPCA,a one-class classifier,is trained to identify anomalies within the scene.In contrast to some prevailing deep learning methods,this framework is completely self-supervised because it utilizes only video sequences of a normal situation.Experiments in global and local abnormal event detection are carried out on Monitoring Human Activity dataset from University of Minnesota(UMN dataset)and Anomaly Detection dataset from University of California,San Diego(UCSD dataset),and competitive results that yield a better equal error rate(EER)and area under curve(AUC)than other state-of-the-art methods are observed.Furthermore,by adding a local response normalization(LRN)layer,we propose an improvement to the original AED-Net.The results demonstrate that this proposed version performs better by promoting the framework’s generalization capacity.

Distributed event region fault-tolerance based on weighted distance for wireless sensor networks

Event region detection is the important application for wireless sensor networks（WSNs）, where the existing faulty sensors would lead to drastic deterioration of network quality of service.Considering single-moment nodes fault-tolerance, a novel distributed fault-tolerant detection algorithm named distributed fault-tolerance based on weighted distance（DFWD） is proposed, which exploits the spatial correlation among sensor nodes and their redundant information.In sensor networks, neighborhood sensor nodes will be endowed with different relative weights respectively according to the distances between them and the central node.Having syncretized the weighted information of dual-neighborhood nodes appropriately, it is reasonable to decide the ultimate status of the central sensor node.Simultaneously, readings of faulty sensors would be corrected during this process.Simulation results demonstrate that the DFWD has a higher fault detection accuracy compared with other algorithms, and when the sensor fault probability is 10%, the DFWD can still correct more than 91% faulty sensor nodes, which significantly improves the performance of the whole sensor network.

Environmental Sound Event Detection in Wireless Acoustic Sensor Networks for Home Telemonitoring

In this paper, we present an approach to improve the accuracy of environmental sound event detection in a wireless acoustic sensor network for home monitoring. Wireless acoustic sensor nodes can capture sounds in the home and simultaneously deliver them to a sink node for sound event detection. The proposed approach is mainly composed of three modules, including signal estimation, reliable sensor channel selection, and sound event detection. During signal estimation, lost packets are recovered to improve the signal quality. Next, reliable channels are selected using a multi-channel cross-correlation coefficient to improve the computational efficiency for distant sound event detection without sacrificing performance. Finally, the signals of the selected two channels are used for environmental sound event detection based on bidirectional gated recurrent neural networks using two-channel audio features. Experiments show that the proposed approach achieves superior performances compared to the baseline.

Artificial Neural Networks for Event Based Rainfall-Runoff Modeling

The Artificial Neural Network (ANN) approach has been successfully used in many hydrological studies especially the rainfall-runoff modeling using continuous data. The present study examines its applicability to model the event-based rainfall-runoff process. A case study has been done for Ajay river basin to develop event-based rainfall-runoff model for the basin to simulate the hourly runoff at Sarath gauging site. The results demonstrate that ANN models are able to provide a good representation of an event-based rainfall-runoff process. The two important parameters, when predicting a flood hydrograph, are the magnitude of the peak discharge and the time to peak discharge. The developed ANN models have been able to predict this information with great accuracy. This shows that ANNs can be very efficient in modeling an event-based rainfall-runoff process for determining the peak discharge and time to the peak discharge very accurately. This is important in water resources design and management applications, where peak discharge and time to peak discharge are important input

Coordinated Restoration Method for Electric Buses and Network Reconfigurations in Distribution Systems Under Extreme Events

Distribution systems are facing challenges in serving lifeline loads after extreme events.Network reconfiguration is a traditional and practical method for power supply restoration,which has strong but inflexible power transfer capabilities influenced by network topology.Multiple failures of utility power under extreme events will further limit the efficiency of network reconfiguration.Electric buses(EBs)can be utilized to achieve power supply considering their discharging capabilities as mobile storage devices.However,the mobility of EBs and the influences of transport systems must be carefully considered to enhance the resilience of distribution systems.Reconfiguration and EBs are complementary in terms of recovery capabilities and location flexibility,and more important loads can be recovered by the coordination between EBs and network reconfiguration.This paper proposes a coordinated restoration method for EBs and reconfigurations considering the influences of transport systems.The post-disaster restoration problem is formulated as a bi-level model,in which the network topology is optimized in the upperlevel aiming at maximizing restoration loads through the main grid and EBs,while the traffic paths of all EBs are optimized with the goal of maximizing the restoration loads by the EBs in the lower-level considering time consumption and energy consumption during movement.The PSO and a genetic algorithm are used to solve the proposed bi-level optimization problem.Simulation studies are performed to verify the superiority of the proposed method.

Dynamic analysis of major public health emergency transmission considering the dual-layer coupling of community–resident complex networks

We construct a dual-layer coupled complex network of communities and residents to represent the interconnected risk transmission network between communities and the disease transmission network among residents. It characterizes the process of infectious disease transmission among residents between communities through the SE2IHR model considering two types of infectors. By depicting a more fine-grained social structure and combining further simulation experiments, the study validates the crucial role of various prevention and control measures implemented by communities as primary executors in controlling the epidemic. Research shows that the geographical boundaries of communities and the social interaction patterns of residents have a significant impact on the spread of the epidemic, where early detection, isolation and treatment strategies at community level are essential for controlling the spread of the epidemic. In addition, the study explores the collaborative governance model and institutional advantages of communities and residents in epidemic prevention and control.

Label-Aware Chinese Event Detection with Heterogeneous Graph Attention Network

Event detection(ED)seeks to recognize event triggers and classify them into the predefined event types.Chinese ED is formulated as a character-level task owing to the uncertain word boundaries.Prior methods try to incorpo-rate word-level information into characters to enhance their semantics.However,they experience two problems.First,they fail to incorporate word-level information into each character the word encompasses,causing the insufficient word-charac-ter interaction problem.Second,they struggle to distinguish events of similar types with limited annotated instances,which is called the event confusing problem.This paper proposes a novel model named Label-Aware Heterogeneous Graph Attention Network(L-HGAT)to address these two problems.Specifically,we first build a heterogeneous graph of two node types and three edge types to maximally preserve word-character interactions,and then deploy a heterogeneous graph attention network to enhance the semantic propagation between characters and words.Furthermore,we design a pushing-away game to enlarge the predicting gap between the ground-truth event type and its confusing counterpart for each character.Experimental results show that our L-HGAT model consistently achieves superior performance over prior competitive methods.

Sound event localization and detection based on deep learning

Acoustic source localization(ASL)and sound event detection(SED)are two widely pursued independent research fields.In recent years,in order to achieve a more complete spatial and temporal representation of sound field,sound event localization and detection(SELD)has become a very active research topic.This paper presents a deep learning-based multioverlapping sound event localization and detection algorithm in three-dimensional space.Log-Mel spectrum and generalized cross-correlation spectrum are joined together in channel dimension as input features.These features are classified and regressed in parallel after training by a neural network to obtain sound recognition and localization results respectively.The channel attention mechanism is also introduced in the network to selectively enhance the features containing essential information and suppress the useless features.Finally,a thourough comparison confirms the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed SELD algorithm.Field experiments show that the proposed algorithm is robust to reverberation and environment and can achieve higher recognition and localization accuracy compared with the baseline method.
