For imagesteganalysis, many studies have showed that the superiority of the convolutional neural network overconventional methods based on artificially designed features. Withthe trend of the fusion of traditional steganalysis methodsand some tricks used in classic computer vision tasks, such asSRNet equipped with residual modules and ZhuNet which usedspatial pyramid pooling, more and more CNN architecturesused for steganalysis are proposed. However, there still are somecharacteristics in most content-adaptive steganographic algorithms such as S-UNIWARD, HUGO, WOW, and tricks in designing network structure whichcan be used for steganalysis. Here, we propose a CNN network framework which can further improve theperformance of spatial imagesteganographic algorithms. First, we utilizemore SRM kernels to initialize the pre-processing layer than previous CNNs, and usean image padding method different from traditional modelsto preserve the integrity of image residuals as much as possible. Next, we use multiple channel attention layers which aim to discriminate the more informational features boosting the detection accuracy of network. Then, we deploy the spatial pyramid poolinglayer before features are fed into the fully-connected layers, aiming to extract more features from the last feature mapsin several scales. Several experiments under different steganographic algorithms show that, the proposed CNN outperforms the other CNN-based steganalyzerssuch as YeNet, XuNet, YedroudjNet,SRNet and ZhuNet.

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is a disease that is defined by uncontrollable growth of malignant and immature White Blood Cells (WBCs) which is called lymphoblast. Traditionally, lymphoblast analysis is done manually and highly dependent on the pathologist’s skill and  experience which sometimes yields inaccurate result. For that reason, in this project an algorithm to automatically detect WBC and subsequently examine ALL disease using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is proposed. Several pretrained CNN models which are VGG, GoogleNet and Alexnet were analaysed to compare its performance for differentiating lymphoblast and non-lymphoblast cells from IDB database. The tuning is done by experimenting the convolution layer, pooling layer and fully connected layer. Technically, 70% of the images are used for training and another 30% for testing. From the experiments, it is found that the best pretrained models are VGG and GoogleNet compared to AlexNet by achieving 100% accuracy for training. As for testing, VGG obtained the highest performance which is 99.13% accuracy. Apart from that, VGG also proven to have better result based on the training graph which is more stable and contains less error compared to the other two models.

Early detection of arrhythmia and effective treatment can prevent deaths caused by cardiovascular disease (CVD). In clinical practice, the diagnosis is made by checking the electrocardiogram (ECG) beat-by-beat, but this is usually time-consuming and laborious. In the paper, we propose an automatic ECG classification method based on Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). CWT is used to decompose ECG signals to obtain different time-frequency components, and CNN is used to extract features from the 2D-scalogram composed of the above time-frequency components. Considering the surrounding R peak interval (also called RR interval) is also useful for the diagnosis of arrhythmia, four RR interval features are extracted and combined with the CNN features to input into a fully connected layer for ECG classification. By testing in the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database, our method achieves an overall performance of 70.75%, 67.47%, 68.76%, and 98.74% for positive predictive value, sensitivity, F1-score, and accuracy, respectively. Compared with existing methods, the overall F1-score of our method is increased by 4.75~16.85%. Because our method is simple and highly accurate, it can potentially be used as a clinical auxiliary diagnostic tool.

METHODSL: In this paper, we improve the structure of the classical LeNet-5 convolutional neural network, and design a network structure with different convolution kernels, different sub-sampling methods and different classifiers, and use this structure to solve the problem of ocular bloodstream disease recognition. RESULTS: The experimental results show that the improved convolutional neural network structure is ideal for the recognition of eye blood silk data set, which shows that the convolution neural network has the characteristics of strong classification and strong robustness. The improved structure can classify the diseases reflected by eyeball bloodstain well.

Abstract Many data-driven coal gangue recognition (CGR) methods based on the vibration or sound of collapsed coal and gangue have been proposed to achieve automatic CGR, which is important for realizing intelligent top-coal caving. However, the strong background noise and complex environment in underground coal mines render this task challenging in practical applications. Inspired by the fact that workers distinguish coal and gangue from underground noise by listening to the hydraulic support sound, we propose an auditory model based CGR method that simulates human auditory recognition by combining an auditory spectrogram with a convolutional neural network (CNN). First, we adjust the characteristic frequency (CF) distribution of the auditory peripheral model (APM) based on the spectral characteristics of collapsed sound signals from coal and gangue and then process the sound signals using the adjusted APM to obtain inferior colliculus auditory signals with multiple CFs. Subsequently, the auditory signals of all CFs are converted into gray images separately and then concatenated into a multichannel auditory spectrum along the channel dimension. Finally, we input the multichannel auditory spectrum as a feature map to the two-dimensional CNN, whose convolutional layers are used to automatically extract features, and the fully connected layer and softmax layer are used to flatten features and predict the recognition result, respectively. The CNN is optimized for the CGR based on a comparison study of four typical types of CNN structures with different network training hyperparameters. The experimental results show that this method affords an accurate CGR with a recognition accuracy of 99.5%. Moreover, this method offers excellent noise immunity compared with typically used CGR methods under various noisy conditions.

In this paper, the structure of a separable convolutional neural network that consists of an embedding layer, separable convolutional layers, convolutional layer and global average pooling is represented for binary and multiclass text classifications. The advantage of the proposed structure is the absence of multiple fully connected layers, which is used to increase the classification accuracy but raises the computational cost. The combination of low-cost separable convolutional layers and a convolutional layer is proposed to gain high accuracy and, simultaneously, to reduce the complexity of neural classifiers. Advantages are demonstrated at binary and multiclass classifications of written texts by means of the proposed networks under the sigmoid and Softmax activation functions in convolutional layer. At binary and multiclass classifications, the accuracy obtained by separable convolutional neural networks is higher in comparison with some investigated types of recurrent neural networks and fully connected networks.

To secure cloud computing and outsourced data while meeting the requirements of automation, many intrusion detection schemes based on deep learn ing are proposed. Though the detection rate of many network intrusion detection solutions can be quite high nowadays, their identification accuracy on imbalanced abnormal network traffic still remains low. Therefore, this paper proposes a ResNet &Inception-based convolutional neural network (RICNN) model to abnormal traffic classification. RICNN can learn more traffic features through the Inception unit, and the degradation problem of the network is eliminated through the direct map ping unit of ResNet, thus the improvement of the model?s generalization ability can be achievable. In addition, to simplify the network, an improved version of RICNN, which makes it possible to reduce the number of parameters that need to be learnt without degrading identification accuracy, is also proposed in this paper. The experimental results on the dataset CICIDS2017 show that RICNN not only achieves an overall accuracy of 99.386% but also has a high detection rate across different categories, especially for small samples. The comparison experiments show that the recognition rate of RICNN outperforms a variety of CNN models and RNN models, and the best detection accuracy can be achieved.

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.
