AbstractLive streaming services enable the audience to interact with one another and the streamer over live content. The surging popularity of live streaming platforms has created a competitive environment. To retain existing viewers and attract newcomers, streamers and fans often create a well-condensed summary of the streamed content. However, this process is manual and costly due to the length of online live streaming events. The current study identifies enjoyable moments in user-generated live video content by examining the audiences’ collective evaluation of its epicness. We characterize what features “epic” moments and present a deep learning model to extract them based on analyzing two million user-recommended clips and the associated chat conversations. The evaluation shows that our data-driven approach can identify epic moments from user-generated streamed content that cover various contexts (e.g., victory, funny, awkward, embarrassing). Our user study further demonstrates that the proposed automatic model performs comparably to expert suggestions. We discuss implications of the collective decision-driven extraction in identifying diverse epic moments in a scalable way.

This paper describes an approach for identifying and appending interior design style information stochastically with reference images and a deep-learning model. In the field of interior design, design style is a useful concept and has played an important role in helping people understand and communicate interior design. Previous studies have focused on how the interior design style categories can be defined. On the other hand, this paper focuses on how stochastically recognizing the design style of given interior design reference images using a deep learning-based data-driven approach. The proposed method can be summarized as follows: (1) data preparation based on a general design style definition, (2) implementing an interior design style recognition model using a pre-trained VGG16 model, (3) training and evaluating the trained model, and (4) demonstration of stochastic detection of interior design styles for reference images. The result shows that the trained model automatically recognizes the design styles of given interior images with probability values. The recognition results, model, and trained image set contribute to facilitating the management and utilization of an interior design references database.

Subcooled flow boiling occurs in many industrial applications where enormous heat transfer is needed. Boiling is a complex physical process that involves phase change, two-phase flow, and interactions between heated surfaces and fluids. In general, boiling heat transfer is usually predicted by empirical or semiempirical models, which are horizontal to uncertainty. In this work, a data-driven method based on artificial neural networks has been implemented to study the heat transfer behavior of a subcooled boiling model. The proposed method considers the near local flow behavior to predict wall temperature and void fraction of a subcooled minichannel. The input of the network consists of pressure gradients, momentum convection, energy convection, turbulent viscosity, liquid and gas velocities, and surface information. The outputs of the models are based on the quantities of interest in a boiling system wall temperature and void fraction. To train the network, high-fidelity simulations based on the Eulerian two-fluid approach are carried out for varying heat flux and inlet velocity in the minichannel. Two classes of the deep learning model have been investigated for this work. The first one focuses on predicting the deterministic value of the quantities of interest. The second one focuses on predicting the uncertainty present in the deep learning model while estimating the quantities of interest. Deep ensemble and Monte Carlo Dropout methods are close representatives of maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference approach respectively, and they are used to derive the uncertainty present in the model. The results of this study prove that the models used here are capable of predicting the quantities of interest accurately and are capable of estimating the uncertainty present. The models are capable of accurately reproducing the physics on unseen data and show the degree of uncertainty when there is a shift of physics in the boiling regime.

An explicit content detection (ECD) system to detect Not Suitable For Work (NSFW) media (i.e., image/ video) content is proposed. The proposed ECD system is based on residual network (i.e., deep learning model) which returns a probability to indicate the explicitness in media content. The value is further compared with a defined threshold to decide whether the content is explicit or nonexplicit. The proposed system not only differentiates between explicit/nonexplicit contents but also indicates the degree of explicitness in any media content, i.e., high, medium, or low. In addition, the system also identifies the media files with tampered extension and label them as suspicious. The experimental result shows that the proposed model provides an accuracy of ~ 95% when tested on our image and video datasets.

Encounter risk prediction is critical for safe ship navigation, especially in congested waters, where ships sail very near to each other during various encounter situations. Prior studies on the risk of ship collisions were unable to address the uncertainty of the encounter process when ignoring the complex motions constituting the dynamic ship encounter behavior, which may seriously affect the risk prediction performance. To fill this gap, a novel AIS data-driven approach is proposed for ship encounter risk prediction by modeling intership behavior patterns. In particular, multidimensional features of intership behaviors are extracted from the AIS trace data to capture spatial dependencies between encountering ships. Then, the challenging task of risk prediction is to discover the complex and uncertain relationship between intership behaviors and future collision risk. To address this issue, we propose a deep learning framework. To represent the temporal dynamics of the encounter process, we use the sliding window technique to generate the sequences of behavioral features. The collision risk level at a future time is taken as the class label of the sequence. Then, the long short-term memory network, which has a strong ability to model temporal dependency and complex patterns, is extended to establish the relationship. The benefit of our approach is that it transforms the complex problem for risk prediction into a time series classification task, which makes collision risk prediction reliable and easier to implement. Experiments were conducted on a set of naturalistic data from various encounter scenarios in the South Channel of the Yangtze River Estuary. The results show that the proposed data-driven approach can predict future collision risk with high accuracy and efficiency. The approach is expected to be applied for the early prediction of encountering ships and as decision support to improve navigation safety.

Reservoir modeling to predict shale reservoir productivity is considerably uncertain and time consuming. Since we need to simulate the physical phenomenon of multi-stage hydraulic fracturing. To overcome these limitations, this paper presents an alternative proxy model based on data-driven deep learning model. Furthermore, this study not only proposes the development process of a proxy model, but also verifies using field data for 1239 horizontal wells from the Montney shale formation in Alberta, Canada. A deep neural network (DNN) based on multi-layer perceptron was applied to predict the cumulative gas production as the dependent variable. The independent variable is largely divided into four types: well information, completion and hydraulic fracturing and production data. It was found that the prediction performance was better when using a principal component with a cumulative contribution of 85% using principal component analysis that extracts important information from multivariate data, and when predicting with a DNN model using 6 variables calculated through variable importance analysis. Hence, to develop a reliable deep learning model, sensitivity analysis of hyperparameters was performed to determine one-hot encoding, dropout, activation function, learning rate, hidden layer number and neuron number. As a result, the best prediction of the mean absolute percentage error of the cumulative gas production improved to at least 0.2% and up to 9.1%. The novel approach of this study can also be applied to other shale formations. Furthermore, a useful guide for economic analysis and future development plans of nearby reservoirs.

Abstract It is commonly accepted that hemodynamic situation is related with cardiovascular diseases as well as clinical post-procedural outcome. In particular, aortic valve stenosis and insufficiency are associated with high shear flow and increased pressure loss. Furthermore, regurgitation, high shear stress and regions of stagnant blood flow are presumed to have an impact on clinical result. Therefore, flow field assessment to characterize the hemodynamic situation is necessary for device evaluation and further design optimization. In-vitro as well as in-silico fluid mechanics methods can be used to investigate the flow through prostheses. In-silico solutions are based on mathematical equitation’s which need to be solved numerically (Computational Fluid Dynamics - CFD). Fundamentally, the flow is physically described by Navier-Stokes. CFD often requires high computational cost resulting in long computation time. Techniques based on deep-learning are under research to overcome this problem. In this study, we applied a deep-learning strategy to estimate fluid flows during peak systolic steady-state blood flows through mechanical aortic valves with varying opening angles in randomly generated aortic root geometries. We used a data driven approach by running 3,500 two dimensional simulations (CFD). The simulation data serves as training data in a supervised deep learning framework based on convolutional neural networks analogous to the U-net architecture. We were able to successfully train the neural network using the supervised data driven approach. The results showing that it is feasible to use a neural network to estimate physiological flow fields in the vicinity of prosthetic heart valves (Validation error below 0.06), by only giving geometry data (Image) into the Network. The neural network generates flow field prediction in real time, which is more than 2500 times faster compared to CFD simulation. Accordingly, there is tremendous potential in the use of AIbased approaches predicting blood flows through heart valves on the basis of geometry data, especially in applications where fast fluid mechanic predictions are desired.
