Point cloud classification plays a significant role in Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) applications. However, most available multi-scale feature learning networks for large-scale 3D LiDAR point cloud classification tasks are time-consuming. In this paper, an efficient deep neural architecture denoted as Point Expanded Multi-scale Convolutional Network (PEMCNet) is developed to accurately classify the 3D LiDAR point cloud. Different from traditional networks for point cloud processing, PEMCNet includes successive Point Expanded Grouping (PEG) units and Absolute and Relative Spatial Embedding (ARSE) units for representative point feature learning. The PEG unit enables us to progressively increase the receptive field for each observed point and aggregate the feature of a point cloud at different scales but without increasing computation. The ARSE unit following the PEG unit furthermore realizes representative encoding of points relationship, which effectively preserves the geometric details between points. We evaluate our method on both public datasets (the Urban Semantic 3D (US3D) dataset and Semantic3D benchmark dataset) and our new collected Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) based LiDAR point cloud data of the campus of Guangdong University of Technology. In comparison with four available state-of-the-art methods, our methods ranked first place regarding both efficiency and accuracy. It was observed on the public datasets that with a 2% increase in classification accuracy, over 26% improvement of efficiency was achieved at the same time compared to the second efficient method. Its potential value is also tested on the newly collected point cloud data with over 91% of classification accuracy and 154 ms of processing time.

Existing research suggests that adults and older children experience a tradeoff where instruction and feedback help them solve a problem efficiently, but lead them to ignore currently irrelevant information that might be useful in the future. It is unclear whether young children experience the same tradeoff. Eighty-seven children (ages five- to eight-years) and 42 adults participated in supervised feature prediction tasks either with or without an instructional hint. Follow-up tasks assessed learning of feature correlations and feature frequencies. Younger children tended to learn frequencies of both relevant and irrelevant features without instruction, but not the diagnostic feature correlation needed for the prediction task. With instruction, younger children did learn the diagnostic feature correlation, but then failed to learn the frequencies of irrelevant features. Instruction helped older children learn the correlation without limiting attention to frequencies. Adults learned the diagnostic correlation even without instruction, but with instruction no longer learned about irrelevant frequencies. These results indicate that young children do show some costs of learning with instruction characteristic of older children and adults. However, they also receive some of the benefits. The current study illustrates just what those tradeoffs might be, and how they might change over development.

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have shown potential in intelligent fault diagnosis of rotating machinery. However, traditional DNNs such as the back-propagation neural network are highly sensitive to the initial weights and easily fall into the local optimum, which restricts the feature learning capability and diagnostic performance. To overcome the above problems, a deep sparse filtering network (DSFN) constructed by stacked sparse filtering is developed in this paper and applied to fault diagnosis. The developed DSFN is pre-trained by sparse filtering in an unsupervised way. The back-propagation algorithm is employed to optimize the DSFN after pre-training. Then, the DSFN-based intelligent fault diagnosis method is validated using two experiments. The results show that pre-training with sparse filtering and fine-tuning can help the DSFN search for the optimal network parameters, and the DSFN can learn discriminative features adaptively from rotating machinery datasets. Compared with classical methods, the developed diagnostic method can diagnose rotating machinery faults with higher accuracy using fewer training samples.
