In the manuscript, the issue of detecting and segmenting out pavement defects on highway roads is addressed. Specifically, computer vision (CV) methods are developed and applied to the problem based on deep learning of convolutional neural networks (ConvNets). A novel neural network structure is considered, based on a pipeline of three ConvNets and endowed with the capacity for context awareness, which improves grid-based search for defects on orthoframes by considering the surrounding image content—an approach, which essentially draws inspiration from how humans tend to solve the task of image segmentation. Also, methods for assessing the quality of segmentation are discussed. The contribution also describes the complete procedure of working with pavement defects in an industrial setting, involving the workcycle of defect annotation, ConvNet training and validation. The results of ConvNet evaluation provided in the paper hint at a successful implementation of the proposed technique.

How to make an accurate evaluation of the quality of pension service has become the most important task. However, in the real world, many customs always forget to rate pension service. They only leave a few short, less semantic, and discontinuous review words below the service. This paper will propose an effective multi-dimension attention convolutional neural networks (MACNNs) model to analyze customer review texts and predict the pension service quality. In MACNN, the emoticon feature, sentiment feature, and word feature can be extracted together to construct feature space. And then attention layer and convolution layer work together to predict the service quality. Compared with the traditional machine learning methods and neural network methods, this method is more objective and accurate to reflect consumers’ real evaluation of pension service.

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) are a popular neural network structure for image based applications. This thesis discusses an alternative network, the morphological shared-weight neural network (MSNN) for object detection. In this thesis, three combined network structures are developed for multi-scale object detection. The dataset used for the experiments presented here were created by the author for this thesis study. The convolutional neural network is used as the baseline for judging the performance of the MSNN. Experiments suggest that when training data is limited, the MSNN has a more robust and precise performance as compared with the CNN.

Background: Valvular heart disease is a serious disease leading to mortality and increasing medical care cost. The aortic valve is the most common valve affected by this disease. Doctors rely on echocardiogram for diagnosing and evaluating valvular heart disease. However, the images from echocardiogram are poor in comparison to Computerized Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan. This study proposes the development of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) that can function optimally during a live echocardiographic examination for detection of the aortic valve. An automated detection system in an echocardiogram will improve the accuracy of medical diagnosis and can provide further medical analysis from the resulting detection. Methods: Two detection architectures, Single Shot Multibox Detector (SSD) and Faster Regional based Convolutional Neural Network (R-CNN) with various feature extractors were trained on echocardiography images from 33 patients. Thereafter, the models were tested on 10 echocardiography videos. Results: Faster R-CNN Inception v2 had shown the highest accuracy (98.6%) followed closely by SSD Mobilenet v2. In terms of speed, SSD Mobilenet v2 resulted in a loss of 46.81% in framesper- second (fps) during real-time detection but managed to perform better than the other neural network models. Additionally, SSD Mobilenet v2 used the least amount of Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) but the Central Processing Unit (CPU) usage was relatively similar throughout all models. Conclusion: Our findings provide a foundation for implementing a convolutional detection system to echocardiography for medical purposes.

<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>

ABSTRACT Riau batik is known since the 18th century and is used by royal kings. Riau Batik is made by using a stamp that is mixed with coloring and then printed on fabric. The fabric used is usually silk. As its development, comparing Javanese  batik with riau batik Riau is very slowly accepted by the public. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) is a combination of artificial neural networks and deeplearning methods. CNN consists of one or more convolutional layers, often with a subsampling layer followed by one or more fully connected layers as a standard neural network. In the process, CNN will conduct training and testing of Riau batik so that a collection of batik models that have been classified based on the characteristics that exist in Riau batik can be determined so that images are Riau batik and non-Riau batik. Classification using CNN produces Riau batik and not Riau batik with an accuracy of 65%. Accuracy of 65% is due to basically many of the same motifs between batik and other batik with the difference lies in the color of the absorption in the batik riau. Kata kunci: Batik; Batik Riau; CNN; Image; Deep Learning   ABSTRAK   Batik Riau dikenal sejak abad ke 18 dan digunakan oleh bangsawan raja. Batik Riau dibuat dengan menggunakan cap yang dicampur dengan pewarna kemudian dicetak di kain. Kain yang digunakan biasanya sutra. Seiring perkembangannya, dibandingkan batik Jawa maka batik Riau sangat lambat diterima oleh masyarakat. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) merupakan kombinasi dari jaringan syaraf tiruan dan metode deeplearning. CNN terdiri dari satu atau lebih lapisan konvolutional, seringnya dengan suatu lapisan subsampling yang diikuti oleh satu atau lebih lapisan yang terhubung penuh sebagai standar jaringan syaraf. Dalam prosesnya CNN akan melakukan training dan testing terhadap batik Riau sehingga didapat kumpulan model batik yang telah terklasi    fikasi berdasarkan ciri khas yang ada pada batik Riau sehingga dapat ditentukan gambar (image) yang merupakan batik Riau dan yang bukan merupakan batik Riau. Klasifikasi menggunakan CNN menghasilkan batik riau dan bukan batik riau dengan akurasi 65%. Akurasi 65% disebabkan pada dasarnya banyak motif yang sama antara batik riau dengan batik lainnya dengan perbedaan terletak pada warna cerap pada batik riau.

Abstract Today integration of facts from virtual and paper files may be very vital for the expertise control of efficient. This calls for the record to be localized at the photograph. Several strategies had been proposed to resolve this trouble; however, they may be primarily based totally on conventional photograph processing strategies that aren't sturdy to intense viewpoints and backgrounds. Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), on the opposite hand, have demonstrated to be extraordinarily sturdy to versions in history and viewing attitude for item detection and classification responsibilities. We endorse new utilization of Neural Networks (NNs) for the localization trouble as a localization trouble. The proposed technique ought to even localize photos that don't have a very square shape. Also, we used a newly accrued dataset that has extra tough responsibilities internal and is in the direction of a slipshod user. The end result knowledgeable in 3 exclusive classes of photos and our proposed technique has 83% on average. The end result is as compared with the maximum famous record localization strategies and cell applications.

In this paper we can see that identified computer incidents are subject for diagnostics, during which the characteristics of information security violations are clarified (purpose, causes, consequences, etc.). To diagnose computer incidents, we can use methods of automation while collection and processing the events that occur as a result of the implementation of scenarios for information security violations. Artificial neural networks can be used to solve the classification problem of assigning diagnostic data set (information image of a computer incident) to one of the possible values of the violation characteristic. The purpose of this work is to adapt the structure of an artificial neural network that allows the accuracy diagnostics of computer incidents when new training examples appear.

<span lang="EN-US">This paper presents a fast and accurate fault detection, classification and direction discrimination algorithm of transmission lines using one-dimensional convolutional neural networks (1D-CNNs) that have ingrained adaptive model to avoid the feature extraction difficulties and fault classification into one learning algorithm. A proposed algorithm is directly usable with raw data and this deletes the need of a discrete feature extraction method resulting in more effective protective system. The proposed approach based on the three-phase voltages and currents signals of one end at the relay location in the transmission line system are taken as input to the proposed 1D-CNN algorithm. A 132kV power transmission line is simulated by Matlab simulink to prepare the training and testing data for the proposed 1D- CNN algorithm. The testing accuracy of the proposed algorithm is compared with other two conventional methods which are neural network and fuzzy neural network. The results of test explain that the new proposed detection system is efficient and fast for classifying and direction discrimination of fault in transmission line with high accuracy as compared with other conventional methods under various conditions of faults.</span>
