Travel location recommendation methods using community-contributed geotagged photos are based on past check-ins. Therefore, these methods cannot effectively work for new travel locations, i.e., they suffer from the travel location cold start problem. In this study, we propose a convolutional neural network and matrix factorization-based travel location recommendation method to address the problem. Specifically, a weighted matrix factorization method is used to obtain the latent factor representations of travel locations. The latent factor representation for a new travel location is estimated from its photos by using a convolutional neural network. Experimental results on a Flickr dataset demonstrate that the proposed method can provide better recommendations than existing methods.

<span lang="EN-US">Plant pathologists desire soft computing technology for accurate and reliable diagnosis of plant diseases. In this study, we propose an efficient soybean disease identification method based on a transfer learning approach by using a pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN’s) such as AlexNet, GoogleNet, VGG16, ResNet101, and DensNet201. The proposed convolutional neural networks were trained using 1200 plant village image dataset of diseased and healthy soybean leaves, to identify three soybean diseases out of healthy leaves. Pre-trained CNN used to enable a fast and easy system implementation in practice. We used the five-fold cross-validation strategy to analyze the performance of networks. In this study, we used a pre-trained convolutional neural network as feature extractors and classifiers. The experimental results based on the proposed approach using pre-trained AlexNet, GoogleNet, VGG16, ResNet101, and DensNet201 networks achieve an accuracy of 95%, 96.4 %, 96.4 %, 92.1%, 93.6% respectively. The experimental results for the identification of soybean diseases indicated that the proposed networks model achieves the highest accuracy</span>

Grasp detection based on convolutional neural network has gained some achievements. However, overfitting of multilayer convolutional neural network still exists and leads to poor detection precision. To acquire high detection accuracy, a single target grasp detection network that generalizes the fitting of angle and position, based on the convolution neural network, is put forward here. The proposed network regards the image as input and grasping parameters including angle and position as output, with the detection manner of end-to-end. Particularly, preprocessing dataset is to achieve the full coverage to input of model and transfer learning is to avoid overfitting of network. Importantly, a series of experimental results indicate that, for single object grasping, our network has good detection results and high accuracy, which proves that the proposed network has strong generalization in direction and category.

This paper aims to develop a method of crack grid detection based on convolutional neural network. First, an image denoising operation is conducted to improve image quality. Next, the processed images are divided into grids of different, and each grid is fed into a convolutional neural network for detection. The pieces of the grids with cracks are marked and then returned to the original images. Finally, on the basis of the detection results, threshold segmentation is performed only on the marked grids. Information about the crack parameters is obtained via pixel scanning and calculation, which realises complete crack detection. The experimental results show that 30×30 grids perform the best with the accuracy value of 97.33%. The advantage of automatic crack grid detection is that it can avoid fracture phenomenon in crack identification and ensure the integrity of cracks.

Paraphrase identification is central to many natural language applications. Based on the insight that a successful paraphrase identification model needs to adequately capture the semantics of the language objects as well as their interactions, we present a deep paraphrase identification model interacting semantics with syntax (DPIM-ISS) for paraphrase identification. DPIM-ISS introduces the linguistic features manifested in syntactic features to produce more explicit structures and encodes the semantic representation of sentence on different syntactic structures by means of interacting semantics with syntax. Then, DPIM-ISS learns the paraphrase pattern from this representation interacting the semantics with syntax by exploiting a convolutional neural network with convolution-pooling structure. Experiments are conducted on the corpus of Microsoft Research Paraphrase (MSRP), PAN 2010 corpus, and PAN 2012 corpus for paraphrase plagiarism detection. The experimental results demonstrate that DPIM-ISS outperforms the classical word-matching approaches, the syntax-similarity approaches, the convolution neural network-based models, and some deep paraphrase identification models.

With the rapid development of surveying and spatial information technologies, more and more attention has been given to positioning. In outdoor environments, people can easily obtain positioning services through global navigation satellite systems (GNSS). In indoor environments, the GNSS signal is often lost, while other positioning problems, such as dead reckoning and wireless signals, will face accumulated errors and signal interference. Therefore, this research uses images to realize a positioning service. The main concept of this work is to establish a model for an indoor field image and its coordinate information and to judge its position by image eigenvalue matching. Based on the architecture of PoseNet, the image is input into a 23-layer convolutional neural network according to various sizes to train end-to-end location identification tasks, and the three-dimensional position vector of the camera is regressed. The experimental data are taken from the underground parking lot and the Palace Museum. The preliminary experimental results show that this new method designed by us can effectively improve the accuracy of indoor positioning by about 20% to 30%. In addition, this paper also discusses other architectures, field sizes, camera parameters, and error corrections for this neural network system. The preliminary experimental results show that the angle error correction method designed by us can effectively improve positioning by about 20%.

The safety of an Internet Data Center (IDC) is directly determined by the reliability and stability of its chiller system. Thus, combined with deep learning technology, an innovative hybrid fault diagnosis approach (1D-CNN_GRU) based on the time-series sequences is proposed in this study for the chiller system using 1-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (1D-CNN) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU). Firstly, 1D-CNN is applied to automatically extract the local abstract features of the sensor sequence data. Secondly, GRU with long and short term memory characteristics is applied to capture the global features, as well as the dynamic information of the sequence. Moreover, batch normalization and dropout are introduced to accelerate network training and address the overfitting issue. The effectiveness and reliability of the proposed hybrid algorithm are assessed on the RP-1043 dataset; based on the experimental results, 1D-CNN_GRU displays the best performance compared with the other state-of-the-art algorithms. Further, the experimental results reveal that 1D-CNN_GRU has a superior identification rate for minor faults.

AbstractMany systems are developed for automatic sleep stage classification. However, nearly all models are based on handcrafted features. Because of the large feature space, there are so many features that feature selection should be used. Meanwhile, designing handcrafted features is a difficult and time-consuming task because the feature designing needs domain knowledge of experienced experts. Results vary when different sets of features are chosen to identify sleep stages. Additionally, many features that we may be unaware of exist. However, these features may be important for sleep stage classification. Therefore, a new sleep stage classification system, which is based on the complex-valued convolutional neural network (CCNN), is proposed in this study. Unlike the existing sleep stage methods, our method can automatically extract features from raw electroencephalography data and then classify sleep stage based on the learned features. Additionally, we also prove that the decision boundaries for the real and imaginary parts of a complex-valued convolutional neuron intersect orthogonally. The classification performances of handcrafted features are compared with those of learned features via CCNN. Experimental results show that the proposed method is comparable to the existing methods. CCNN obtains a better classification performance and considerably faster convergence speed than convolutional neural network. Experimental results also show that the proposed method is a useful decision-support tool for automatic sleep stage classification.

Batik is one of Indonesia's cultures that is well-known worldwide. Batik is a fabric that is painted using canting and liquid wax so that it forms patterns of high artistic value. In this study, we applied the convolutional neural network (CNN) to identify six batik patterns, namely Banji, Ceplok, Kawung, Mega Mendung, Parang, and Sekar Jagad. 994 images from the 6 categories were collected and then divided into training and test data with a ratio of 8:2. Image augmentation was also done to provide variations in training data as well as to prevent overfitting. Experimental results on the test data showed that CNN produced an excellent performance as indicated by accuracy of 94% and top-2 accuracy of 99% which was obtained using the DenseNet network architecture.
