Deep neural networks have been widely explored and utilised as a useful tool for feature extraction in computer vision and machine learning. It is often observed that the last fully connected (FC) layers of convolutional neural network possess higher discrimination power as compared to the convolutional and maxpooling layers whose goal is to preserve local and low-level information of the input image and down sample it to avoid overfitting. Inspired from the functionality of local binary pattern (LBP) operator, this paper proposes to induce discrimination into the mid layers of convolutional neural network by introducing a discriminatively boosted alternative to pooling (DBAP) layer that has shown to serve as a favourable replacement of early maxpooling layer in a convolutional neural network (CNN). A thorough research of the related works show that the proposed change in the neural architecture is novel and has not been proposed before to bring enhanced discrimination and feature visualisation power achieved from the mid layer features. The empirical results reveal that the introduction of DBAP layer in popular neural architectures such as AlexNet and LeNet produces competitive classification results in comparison to their baseline models as well as other ultra-deep models on several benchmark data sets. In addition, better visualisation of intermediate features can allow one to seek understanding and interpretation of black box behaviour of convolutional neural networks, used widely by the research community.

ABSTRACTThe prediction of breeding values and phenotypes is of central importance for both livestock and crop breeding. With increasing computational power and more and more data to potentially utilize, Machine Learning and especially Deep Learning have risen in popularity over the last few years. In this study, we are proposing the use of local convolutional neural networks for genomic prediction, as a region specific filter corresponds much better with our prior genetic knowledge of traits than traditional convolutional neural networks. Model performances are evaluated on a simulated maize data panel (n = 10,000) and real Arabidopsis data (n = 2,039) for a variety of traits with the local convolutional neural network outperforming both multi layer perceptrons and convolutional neural networks for basically all considered traits. Linear models like the genomic best linear unbiased prediction that are often used for genomic prediction are outperformed by up to 24%. Highest gains in predictive ability was obtained in cases of medium trait complexity with high heritability and large training populations. However, for small dataset with 100 or 250 individuals for the training of the models, the local convolutional neural network is performing slightly worse than the linear models. Nonetheless, this is still 15% better than a traditional convolutional neural network, indicating a better performance and robustness of our proposed model architecture for small training populations. In addition to the baseline model, various other architectures with different windows size and stride in the local convolutional layer, as well as different number of nodes in subsequent fully connected layers are compared against each other. Finally, the usefulness of Deep Learning and in particular local convolutional neural networks in practice is critically discussed, in regard to multi dimensional inputs and outputs, computing times and other potential hazards.

SUMMARY In this paper, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) were used to distinguish between tectonic and non-tectonic seismicity. The proposed CNNs consisted of seven convolutional layers with small kernels and one fully connected layer, which only relied on the acoustic waveform without extracting features manually. For a single station, the accuracy of the model was 0.90, and the event accuracy could reach 0.93. The proposed model was tested using data from January 2019 to August 2019 in China. The event accuracy could reach 0.92, showing that the proposed model could distinguish between tectonic and non-tectonic seismicity.

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.

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.

Abstract Automated diagnosis of diseases in the recent years have gain lots of advantages and potential. Specially automated screening of cancers has helped the clinicians over the time. Sometimes it is seen that the diagnosis of the clinicians is biased but automated detection can help them to come to a proper conclusion. Automated screening is implemented using either artificial inter connected system or convolutional inter connected system. As Artificial neural network is slow in computation, so Convolutional Neural Network has achieved lots of importance in the recent years. It is also seen that Convolutional Neural Network architecture requires a smaller number of datasets. This also provides them an edge over Artificial Neural Networks. Convolutional Neural Networks is used for both segmentation and classification. Image dissection is one of the important steps in the model used for any kind of image analysis. This paper surveys various such Convolutional Neural Networks that are used for medical image analysis.

Waste is goods / materials that have no value in the scope of production, where in some cases the waste is disposed of carelessly and can damage the environment. The Indonesian government in 2019 recorded waste reaching 66-67 million tons, which is higher than the previous year, which was 64 million tons. Waste is differentiated based on its type, namely organic and anorganic waste. In the field of computer science, the process of sensing the type waste can be done using a camera and the Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) method, which is a type of neural network that works by receiving input in the form of images. The input will be trained using CNN architecture so that it will produce output that can recognize the object being inputted. This study optimizes the use of the CNN method to obtain accurate results in identifying types of waste. Optimization is done by adding several hyperparameters to the CNN architecture. By adding hyperparameters, the accuracy value is 91.2%. Meanwhile, if the hyperparameter is not used, the accuracy value is only 67.6%. There are three hyperparameters used to increase the accuracy value of the model. They are dropout, padding, and stride. 20% increase in dropout to increase training overfit. Whereas padding and stride are used to speed up the model training process.
