AbstractDynamic fracture of a two-dimensional MoWSe2 membrane is studied with molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The system consists of a random distribution of WSe2 patches in a pre-cracked matrix of MoSe2. Under strain, the system shows toughening due to crack branching, crack closure and strain-induced structural phase transformation from 2H to 1T crystal structures. Different structures generated during MD simulation are analyzed using a three-layer, feed-forward neural network (NN) model. A training data set of 36,000 atoms is created where each atom is represented by a 50-dimension feature vector consisting of radial and angular symmetry functions. Hyper parameters of the symmetry functions and network architecture are tuned to minimize model complexity with high predictive power using feature learning, which shows an increase in model accuracy from 67% to 95%. The NN model classifies each atom in one of the six phases which are either as transition metal or chalcogen atoms in 2H phase, 1T phase and defects. Further t-SNE analyses of learned representation of these phases in the hidden layers of the NN model show that separation of all phases become clearer in the third layer than in layers 1 and 2.

Handwritten Recognition

Complexity of Arabic writing language makes its handwritten recognition very complex in terms of computer algorithms. The Arabic handwritten recognition has high importance in modern applications. The contour analysis of word image can extract special contour features that discriminate one character from another by the mean of vector features. This paper implements a set of pre-processing functions over a handwritten Arabic characters, with contour analysis, to enter the contour vector to neural network to recognize it. The selection of this set of pre-processing algorithms was completed after hundreds of tests and validation. The feed forward neural network architecture was trained using many patterns regardless of the Arabic font style building a rigid recognition model. Because of the shortcomings in Arabic written databases or datasets, the testing was done by non-standard data set. The presented algorithm structure got recognition ratio about 97%.

ABSTRACT We present the results of a proof-of-concept experiment that demonstrates that deep learning can successfully be used for production-scale classification of compact star clusters detected in Hubble Space Telescope(HST) ultraviolet-optical imaging of nearby spiral galaxies ($D\lesssim 20\, \textrm{Mpc}$) in the Physics at High Angular Resolution in Nearby GalaxieS (PHANGS)–HST survey. Given the relatively small nature of existing, human-labelled star cluster samples, we transfer the knowledge of state-of-the-art neural network models for real-object recognition to classify star clusters candidates into four morphological classes. We perform a series of experiments to determine the dependence of classification performance on neural network architecture (ResNet18 and VGG19-BN), training data sets curated by either a single expert or three astronomers, and the size of the images used for training. We find that the overall classification accuracies are not significantly affected by these choices. The networks are used to classify star cluster candidates in the PHANGS–HST galaxy NGC 1559, which was not included in the training samples. The resulting prediction accuracies are 70 per cent, 40 per cent, 40–50 per cent, and 50–70 per cent for class 1, 2, 3 star clusters, and class 4 non-clusters, respectively. This performance is competitive with consistency achieved in previously published human and automated quantitative classification of star cluster candidate samples (70–80 per cent, 40–50 per cent, 40–50 per cent, and 60–70 per cent). The methods introduced herein lay the foundations to automate classification for star clusters at scale, and exhibit the need to prepare a standardized data set of human-labelled star cluster classifications, agreed upon by a full range of experts in the field, to further improve the performance of the networks introduced in this study.

Many pieces of information are included in the front region of a vehicle, especially in windshield and bumper regions. Thus, windshield or bumper region detection is making sense to extract useful information. But the existing windshield and bumper detection methods based on traditional artificial features are not robust enough. Those features may become invalid in many real situations (e.g. occlude, illumination change, viewpoint change.). In this article, we propose a multi-attribute-guided vehicle discriminately region detection method based on convolutional neural network and not rely on bounding box regression. We separate the net into two branches, respectively, for identification (ID) and Model attributes training. Therefore, the feature spaces of different attributes become more independent. Additionally, we embed a self-attention block into our framework to improve the performance of local region detection. We train our model on PKU_VD data set which has a huge number of images inside. Furthermore, we labeled the handcrafted bounding boxes on 5000 randomly picked testing images, and 1020 of them are used for evaluation and 3980 as the training data for YOLOv3. We use Intersection over Union for quantitative evaluation. Experiments were conducted in three different latest convolutional neural network trunks to illustrate the detection performance of the proposed method. Simultaneously, in terms of quantitative evaluation, the performance of our method is close to YOLOv3 even without handcrafted bounding boxes.

AbstractVarious machine learning models have been used to predict the properties of polycrystalline materials, but none of them directly consider the physical interactions among neighboring grains despite such microscopic interactions critically determining macroscopic material properties. Here, we develop a graph neural network (GNN) model for obtaining an embedding of polycrystalline microstructure which incorporates not only the physical features of individual grains but also their interactions. The embedding is then linked to the target property using a feed-forward neural network. Using the magnetostriction of polycrystalline Tb0.3Dy0.7Fe2 alloys as an example, we show that a single GNN model with fixed network architecture and hyperparameters allows for a low prediction error of ~10% over a group of remarkably different microstructures as well as quantifying the importance of each feature in each grain of a microstructure to its magnetostriction. Such a microstructure-graph-based GNN model, therefore, enables an accurate and interpretable prediction of the properties of polycrystalline materials.

Gradient Descent Algorithm

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are being widely utilized for various missions: in both civilian and military sectors. Many of these missions demand UAVs to acquire artificial intelligence about the environments they are navigating in. This perception can be realized by training a computing machine to classify objects in the environment. One of the well known machine training approaches is supervised deep learning, which enables a machine to classify objects. However, supervised deep learning comes with huge sacrifice in terms of time and computational resources. Collecting big input data, pre-training processes, such as labeling training data, and the need for a high performance computer for training are some of the challenges that supervised deep learning poses. To address these setbacks, this study proposes mission specific input data augmentation techniques and the design of light-weight deep neural network architecture that is capable of real-time object classification. Semi-direct visual odometry (SVO) data of augmented images are used to train the network for object classification. Ten classes of 10,000 different images in each class were used as input data where 80% were for training the network and the remaining 20% were used for network validation. For the optimization of the designed deep neural network, a sequential gradient descent algorithm was implemented. This algorithm has the advantage of handling redundancy in the data more efficiently than other algorithms.

Due to the exponential growth of E-Business and computing capabilities over the web for a pay-for-use groundwork, the risk factors regarding security issues also increase rapidly. As the usage increases, it becomes very difficult to identify malicious attacks since the attack patterns change. Therefore, host machines in the network must continually be monitored for intrusions since they are the final endpoint of any network. The purpose of this work is to introduce a generalized neural network model that has the ability to detect network intrusions. Two recent heuristic algorithms inspired by the behavior of natural phenomena, namely, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) and gravitational search (GSA) algorithms are introduced. These algorithms are combined together to train a feed forward neural network (FNN) for the purpose of utilizing the effectiveness of these algorithms to reduce the problems of getting stuck in local minima and the time-consuming convergence rate. Dimension reduction focuses on using information obtained from NSL-KDD Cup 99 data set for the selection of some features to discover the type of attacks. Detecting the network attacks and the performance of the proposed model are evaluated under different patterns of network data.

AbstractAutomated detection of complex animal behaviors remains a challenging problem in neuroscience, particularly for behaviors that consist of disparate sequential motions. Grooming, a prototypical stereotyped behavior, is often used as an endophenotype in psychiatric genetics. Using mouse grooming behavior as an example, we develop a general purpose neural network architecture capable of dynamic action detection at human observer-level performance and operate across dozens of mouse strains with high visual diversity. We provide insights into the amount of human annotated training data that are needed to achieve such performance. We survey grooming behavior in the open field in 2500 mice across 62 strains, determine its heritable components, conduct GWAS to outline its genetic architecture, and perform PheWAS to link human psychiatric traits through shared underlying genetics. Our general machine learning solution that automatically classifies complex behaviors in large datasets will facilitate systematic studies of mechanisms underlying these behaviors.

We present a method for building a morphological generator from the output of an existing analyzer for Inuktitut, in the absence of a two-way finite state transducer which would normally provide this functionality. We make use of a sequence to sequence neural network which “translates” underlying Inuktitut morpheme sequences into surface character sequences. The neural network uses only the previous and the following morphemes as context. We report a morpheme accuracy of approximately 86%. We are able to increase this accuracy slightly by passing deep morphemes directly to output for unknown morphemes. We do not see significant improvement when increasing training data set size, and postulate possible causes for this.

Background:Stiffened panels are being used as a lightweight structure in aerospace, marine engineering and retrofitting of building and bridge structure. In this paper, two efficient analytical computational tools, namely, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) are used to analyze and compare the results of the laminated composite 750-hat-stiffened panels.Objective:Finite Element (FE) is an efficient and versatile method for the analysis of a complex problem. FE models have been used to generate data set of four different parameters. The four parameters are extensional stiffness ratio of skin in the longitudinal direction to the transverse direction, orthotropy ratio of the panel, the ratio of twisting stiffness to transverse flexural stiffness and smeared extensional stiffness ratio of stiffeners to that of the plate.Results and Conclusion:For training of ANN, multilayer feedforward back-propagation has been used as a network function with two-hidden layers in the neural network. The good network architecture is achieved after several iterations to predict the buckling load of the stiffened panel. ANN prediction for unknown new data set is in good agreement with FEA results of different cases, which show that ANN tool can be used for the design of complex structural problems in civil engineering and optimization of the laminated composite stiffened panel.
