Visibility forecasting in offshore areas faces the problems of low observational data and complex weather. This paper proposes an intelligent prediction method of offshore visibility based on temporal convolutional network (TCN) and transfer learning to solve the problem. First, preprocess the visibility data sets of the source and target domains to improve the quality of the data. Then, build a model based on temporal convolutional network and transfer learning (TCN_TL) to learn the visibility data of the source domain. Finally, after transferring the knowledge learned from a large amount of data in the source domain, the model learns the small data set in the target domain. After completing the training, the model data of the European Mid-Range Weather Forecast Center (ECMWF) meteorological field were selected to test the model performance. The method proposed in this paper has achieved relatively good results in the visibility forecast of Qiongzhou Strait. Taking Haikou Station in the spring and winter of 2018 as an example, the forecast error is significantly lower than that before the transfer learning, and the forecast score is increased by 0.11 within the 0-1 km level and the 24 h forecast period. Compared with the CUACE forecast results, the forecast error of TCN_TL is smaller than that of the former, and the TS score is improved by 0.16. The results show that under the condition of small data sets, transfer learning improves the prediction performance of the model, and TCN_TL performs better than other deep learning methods and CUACE.

AbstractAlthough convolutional neural networks have achieved success in the field of image classification, there are still challenges in the field of agricultural product quality sorting such as machine vision-based jujube defects detection. The performance of jujube defect detection mainly depends on the feature extraction and the classifier used. Due to the diversity of the jujube materials and the variability of the testing environment, the traditional method of manually extracting the features often fails to meet the requirements of practical application. In this paper, a jujube sorting model in small data sets based on convolutional neural network and transfer learning is proposed to meet the actual demand of jujube defects detection. Firstly, the original images collected from the actual jujube sorting production line were pre-processed, and the data were augmented to establish a data set of five categories of jujube defects. The original CNN model is then improved by embedding the SE module and using the triplet loss function and the center loss function to replace the softmax loss function. Finally, the depth pre-training model on the ImageNet image data set was used to conduct training on the jujube defects data set, so that the parameters of the pre-training model could fit the parameter distribution of the jujube defects image, and the parameter distribution was transferred to the jujube defects data set to complete the transfer of the model and realize the detection and classification of the jujube defects. The classification results are visualized by heatmap through the analysis of classification accuracy and confusion matrix compared with the comparison models. The experimental results show that the SE-ResNet50-CL model optimizes the fine-grained classification problem of jujube defect recognition, and the test accuracy reaches 94.15%. The model has good stability and high recognition accuracy in complex environments.

The goals of this study are the suggestion of a better classification method for detecting stressed states based on raw electrocardiogram (ECG) data and a method for training a deep neural network (DNN) with a smaller data set. We suggest an end-to-end architecture to detect stress using raw ECGs. The architecture consists of successive stages that contain convolutional layers. In this study, two kinds of data sets are used to train and validate the model: A driving data set and a mental arithmetic data set, which smaller than the driving data set. We apply a transfer learning method to train a model with a small data set. The proposed model shows better performance, based on receiver operating curves, than conventional methods. Compared with other DNN methods using raw ECGs, the proposed model improves the accuracy from 87.39% to 90.19%. The transfer learning method improves accuracy by 12.01% and 10.06% when 10 s and 60 s of ECG signals, respectively, are used in the model. In conclusion, our model outperforms previous models using raw ECGs from a small data set and, so, we believe that our model can significantly contribute to mobile healthcare for stress management in daily life.

To recognize epileptic EEG signals, traditional clustering algorithms often need to satisfy three conditions to obtain better clustering results. The first condition is that the algorithm must not be sensitive to noise. The second condition is that the data set must be sufficient. The third condition is that the training data set and the testing data set must follow the same distribution. However, in actual applications, there are few data sets that are free of noise and have sufficient data volume. To address the effects of insufficient data sets and noise on clustering, this paper introduces fuzzy membership and transfer learning mechanisms based on K-plane clustering (KPC) and proposes a fuzzy KPC algorithm based on transfer learning (TFKPC). To improve the clustering effect, the TFKPC algorithm uses the knowledge summarized by the historical domain to guide the clustering process of the current (target) domain when the information is insufficient. In addition, the influence of noise on the clustering result is reduced by introducing fuzzy membership. Experiments show that the TFKPC algorithm proposed in this paper has a better clustering effect in the Epileptic Seizure Recognition Data Set than other comparison methods.

Transfer learning is one of the popular methods for solving the problem that the models built on the source domain cannot be directly applied to the target domain in the cross-domain sentiment classification. This paper proposes a transfer learning method based on the multi-layer convolutional neural network (CNN). Interestingly, we construct a convolutional neural network model to extract features from the source domain and share the weights in the convolutional layer and the pooling layer between the source and target domain samples. Next, we fine-tune the weights in the last layer, named the fully connected layer, and transfer the models from the source domain to the target domain. Comparing with the classical transfer learning methods, the method proposed in this paper does not need to retrain the network for the target domain. The experimental evaluation of the cross-domain data set shows that the proposed method achieves a relatively good performance.

Current transfer learning models study the source data for future target inferences within a major view, the whole source data should be used to explore the shared knowledge structure. However, human resources are constrained, the source domain data is collected as a whole in the real scene. However, this is not realistic, this data is associated with the target domain. A generalized empirical risk minimization model (GERM) is proposed in this article with discriminative knowledge-leverage (KL). The empirical risk minimization (ERM) principle is extended to the transfer learning setting. The theoretical upper bound of generalized ERM (GERM) is given for the practical discriminative transfer learning. The subset of the source domain data can be automatically selected in the model, and the source domain data is associated with the target domain. It can solve with only some knowledge of the source domain being available, thus it can avoid the negative transfer effect which is caused by the whole source domain dataset in the real scene. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is better than the traditional transfer learning algorithm in simulation data sets and real data sets.

Transfer learning methods exploit similarities between different datasets to improve the performance of the target task by transferring knowledge from source tasks to the target task. “What to transfer” is a main research issue in transfer learning. The existing transfer learning method generally needs to acquire the shared parameters by integrating human knowledge. However, in many real applications, an understanding of which parameters can be shared is unknown beforehand. Transfer learning model is essentially a special multi-objective optimization problem. Consequently, this paper proposes a novel auto-sharing parameter technique for transfer learning based on multi-objective optimization and solves the optimization problem by using a multi-swarm particle swarm optimizer. Each task objective is simultaneously optimized by a sub-swarm. The current best particle from the sub-swarm of the target task is used to guide the search of particles of the source tasks and vice versa. The target task and source task are jointly solved by sharing the information of the best particle, which works as an inductive bias. Experiments are carried out to evaluate the proposed algorithm on several synthetic data sets and two real-world data sets of a school data set and a landmine data set, which show that the proposed algorithm is effective.

In mechanical fault diagnosis, it is impossible to collect massive labeled samples with the same distribution in real industry. Transfer learning, a promising method, is usually used to address the critical problem. However, as the number of samples increases, the interdomain distribution discrepancy measurement of the existing method has a higher computational complexity, which may make the generalization ability of the method worse. To solve the problem, we propose a deep transfer learning method based on 1D-CNN for rolling bearing fault diagnosis. First, 1-dimension convolutional neural network (1D-CNN), as the basic framework, is used to extract features from vibration signal. The CORrelation ALignment (CORAL) is employed to minimize marginal distribution discrepancy between the source domain and target domain. Then, the cross-entropy loss function and Adam optimizer are used to minimize the classification errors and the second-order statistics of feature distance between the source domain and target domain, respectively. Finally, based on the bearing datasets of Case Western Reserve University and Jiangnan University, seven transfer fault diagnosis comparison experiments are carried out. The results show that our method has better performance.

Domain-transfer learning is a machine learning task to explore a source domain data set to help the learning problem in a target domain. Usually, the source domain has sufficient labeled data, while the target domain does not. In this paper, we propose a novel domain-transfer convolutional model by mapping a target domain data sample to a proxy in the source domain and applying a source domain model to the proxy for the purpose of prediction. In our framework, we firstly represent both source and target domains to feature vectors by two convolutional neural networks and then construct a proxy for each target domain sample in the source domain space. The proxy is supposed to be matched to the corresponding target domain sample convolutional representation vector well. To measure the matching quality, we proposed to maximize their squared-loss mutual information (SMI) between the proxy and target domain samples. We further develop a novel neural SMI estimator based on a parametric density ratio estimation function. Moreover, we also propose to minimize the classification error of both source domain samples and target domain proxies. The classification responses are also smoothened by manifolds of both the source domain and proxy space. By minimizing an objective function of SMI, classification error, and manifold regularization, we learn the convolutional networks of both source and target domains. In this way, the proxy of a target domain sample can be matched to the source domain data and thus benefits from the rich supervision information of the source domain. We design an iterative algorithm to update the parameters alternately and test it over benchmark data sets of abnormal behavior detection in video, Amazon product reviews sentiment analysis, etc.
