Urbanization is a big concern for both developed and developing countries in recent years. People shift themselves and their families to urban areas for the sake of better education and a modern lifestyle. Due to rapid urbanization, cities are facing huge challenges, one of which is waste management, as the volume of waste is directly proportional to the people living in the city. The municipalities and the city administrations use the traditional wastage classification techniques which are manual, very slow, inefficient and costly. Therefore, automatic waste classification and management is essential for the cities that are being urbanized for the better recycling of waste. Better recycling of waste gives the opportunity to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills by reducing the need to collect new raw material. In this paper, the idea of a real-time smart waste classification model is presented that uses a hybrid approach to classify waste into various classes. Two machine learning models, a multilayer perceptron and multilayer convolutional neural network (ML-CNN), are implemented. The multilayer perceptron is used to provide binary classification, i.e., metal or non-metal waste, and the CNN identifies the class of non-metal waste. A camera is placed in front of the waste conveyor belt, which takes a picture of the waste and classifies it. Upon successful classification, an automatic hand hammer is used to push the waste into the assigned labeled bucket. Experiments were carried out in a real-time environment with image segmentation. The training, testing, and validation accuracy of the purposed model was 0.99% under different training batches with different input features.

Considering that the garbage classification is urgent, a 23-layer convolutional neural network (CNN) model is designed in this paper, with the emphasis on the real-time garbage classification, to solve the low accuracy of garbage classification and recycling and difficulty in manual recycling. Firstly, the depthwise separable convolution was used to reduce the Params of the model. Then, the attention mechanism was used to improve the accuracy of the garbage classification model. Finally, the model fine-tuning method was used to further improve the performance of the garbage classification model. Besides, we compared the model with classic image classification models including AlexNet, VGG16, and ResNet18 and lightweight classification models including MobileNetV2 and SuffleNetV2 and found that the model GAF_dense has a higher accuracy rate, fewer Params, and FLOPs. To further check the performance of the model, we tested the CIFAR-10 data set and found the accuracy rates of the model (GAF_dense) are 0.018 and 0.03 higher than ResNet18 and SufflenetV2, respectively. In the ImageNet data set, the accuracy rates of the model (GAF_dense) are 0.225 and 0.146 higher than Resnet18 and SufflenetV2, respectively. Therefore, the garbage classification model proposed in this paper is suitable for garbage classification and other classification tasks to protect the ecological environment, which can be applied to classification tasks such as environmental science, children’s education, and environmental protection.

Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) is one of the important aspects of cyber security that can detect the anomalies in the network traffic. IDS are a part of Second defense line of a system that can be deployed along with other security measures such as access control, authentication mechanisms and encryption techniques to secure the systems against cyber-attacks. However, IDS suffers from the problem of handling large volume of data and in detecting zero-day attacks (new types of attacks) in a real-time traffic environment. To overcome this problem, an intelligent Deep Learning approach for Intrusion Detection is proposed based on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN-IDS). Initially, the model is trained and tested under a new real-time traffic dataset, CSE-CIC-IDS 2018 dataset. Then, the performance of CNN-IDS model is studied based on three important performance metrics namely, accuracy / training time, detection rate and false alarm rate. Finally, the experimental results are compared with those of various Deep Discriminative models including Recurrent Neural network (RNN), Deep Neural Network (DNN) etc., proposed for IDS under the same dataset. The Comparative results show that the proposed CNN-IDS model is very much suitable for modelling a classification model both in terms of binary and multi-class classification with higher detection rate, accuracy, and lower false alarm rate. The CNN-IDS model improves the accuracy of intrusion detection and provides a new research method for intrusion detection.

In the aluminum reduction process, the flame hole is an influential index of the whole production situation, which reflects the distribution of the physical field of the reduction cell, the current efficiency and the lifespan of the aluminum reduction cell. Therefore, flame hole situation detection and identification are critical and significant in the whole process of aluminum electrolysis. However, in the practical industrial production, flame hole identification result is coming from the experimental operation workers, with the loss of workers and different experimental levels, the real-time measurement of the flame hole index is still a challenge beyond solution. This article develops a flame hole image classification method based on wavelet extreme learning machine. First, a deep feature set is extracted from the original images with a convolutional neural network. Then, a classification model based on an extreme learning machine with wavelet activation function is developed. Finally, the proposed convolutional neural network–weighted extreme learning machine model is applied to superheat degree real-time detection in the industrial electrolysis cell. The proposed method is evaluated on aluminum production which outperforms existing other superheat degree methods in accuracy and robustness.

AbstractFast and accurate confirmation of metastasis on the frozen tissue section of intraoperative sentinel lymph node biopsy is an essential tool for critical surgical decisions. However, accurate diagnosis by pathologists is difficult within the time limitations. Training a robust and accurate deep learning model is also difficult owing to the limited number of frozen datasets with high quality labels. To overcome these issues, we validated the effectiveness of transfer learning from CAMELYON16 to improve performance of the convolutional neural network (CNN)-based classification model on our frozen dataset (N = 297) from Asan Medical Center (AMC). Among the 297 whole slide images (WSIs), 157 and 40 WSIs were used to train deep learning models with different dataset ratios at 2, 4, 8, 20, 40, and 100%. The remaining, i.e., 100 WSIs, were used to validate model performance in terms of patch- and slide-level classification. An additional 228 WSIs from Seoul National University Bundang Hospital (SNUBH) were used as an external validation. Three initial weights, i.e., scratch-based (random initialization), ImageNet-based, and CAMELYON16-based models were used to validate their effectiveness in external validation. In the patch-level classification results on the AMC dataset, CAMELYON16-based models trained with a small dataset (up to 40%, i.e., 62 WSIs) showed a significantly higher area under the curve (AUC) of 0.929 than those of the scratch- and ImageNet-based models at 0.897 and 0.919, respectively, while CAMELYON16-based and ImageNet-based models trained with 100% of the training dataset showed comparable AUCs at 0.944 and 0.943, respectively. For the external validation, CAMELYON16-based models showed higher AUCs than those of the scratch- and ImageNet-based models. Model performance for slide feasibility of the transfer learning to enhance model performance was validated in the case of frozen section datasets with limited numbers.
