Deep learning is also
employed to train the neural networks with the images and to perform the various tasks such as classification and segmentation using several different models. The size and depth of current deep learning models have increased to solve
certain tasks as these models provide better accuracy. As pre-trained weights may be used for further training and prevent costly computing, transfer learning is therefore of vital importance. A brief account is given of their history, structure, benefits, and drawbacks, followed by a description of their applications in the different tasks of computer vision, such as object detection, face recognition etc.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this paper is to train a deep neural network to properly classify the images that it has never seen before, define techniques to enhance the efficiency of deep learning and deploy deep neural networks in various applications.

METHOD: The proposed approach represents that after the reading of images, 256x256 pixel image’s random parts are extracted and noise, distortion, flip, or rotation transforms are applied. Multiple convolution and pooling steps are applied by
controlling the stride lengths.

RESULT: Data analysis and research findings showed that DNN models have been implemented in three main configurations of deep learning: CNTK, MXNet and TensorFlow. The proposed work outperforms the previous techniques in predicting the dependent variables, learning rate, image count, image mean, performance analysis of loss rate and learning rate during training, performance Analysis of Loss with respect to Epoch for Training, Validation and Accuracy.

CONCLUSION: This research encompasses a large variety of computer applications, from image recognition and machine translation to enhanced learning. DNN models have been implemented in three main configurations of deep learning: CNTK,
MXNet and TensorFlow. Extensive research has been conducted using the various deep architectures such as AlexNet, InceptionNet, etc. To the best of authors’ knowledge, this is the first work that presents a quantitative analysis of the deep architectures mentioned above.

There has been a huge increase in the number of cryptocurrencies in the past few years. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum have become an interesting subject of study in fields such as finance. In 2021, over 4,000 cryptocurrencies are already listed. There are many past studies that focus on predicting the price of cryptocurrencies using machine learning, but the majority of them only focused on Bitcoin. Moreover, the majority of the models implemented for price prediction only used the historical market prices, and do not utilize social signals related to the cryptocurrency.

OBJECTIVES: In this paper, we propose a deep learning model for predicting the prices of dogecoin cryptocurrency. The proposed model is based on historical market price data as well as social trends of Dogecoin cryptocurrency.

METHODS: The market data of Dogecoin is collected from Kaggle on the granularity of a day and for the same duration the verified tweets have also been collected with hashtags “Dogecoin” and “Doge”. Experimental results show that the proposed model yields a promising prediction of future price of Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency that has recently become the talk of the town of the crypto market.

RESULTS: Minimum achieved RMSE in predicted price of Dogecoin was 0.02 where the feature vector consisted of OCVP (Open, Close, Volume, Polarity) values from combined dataset.

RESULTS: Experimental results show that the proposed approach performs efficiently.

The data transmission at each hop is realized by using transmit antenna selection and selection combining techniques, and is overheard by a multi-antenna eavesdropper using selection combining. In addition, joint antenna and jammer selection methods are performed at each hop to reduce quality of the eavesdropping channels. The cluster members can harvest wireless energy from the previous cluster head, and use the harvested energy for emitting jamming noises on the eavesdropper. We propose three cooperative
jamming algorithms, named best antenna and best jammer selection (BA-BJ), random antenna and all jammer selection (RA-AJ) and all antenna and all jammer selection (AA-AJ). Then, end-to-end outage probability and intercept probability of the proposed algorithms are evaluated via both simulation and analysis, under impact of hardware impairments, over Rayleigh fading channel.

The proposed device composes of a Y-junction coupler, two multimode interference (MMI) couplers, and two phase-shifters on the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) rib waveguides. The input modes of TE0 and TE1 can be arbitrarily and simultaneously routed to the yearning output ports by setting appropriate values (ON/OFF) for two tunable phase shifters (PSs). The structural optimization and efficient characterization processes are carried out by numerical simulation via three-dimensional beam propagation method. The proposed device exhibits the operation ability over the C-band with good optical performances in terms of insertion loss smaller than 1 dB, crosstalk under -19 dB, and relatively large geometry tolerances. Moreover, the proposed device can integrate into a footprint as compact as 5 μm ×475 μm. Such significant advantages are beneficial and promising potentials for very large-scale photonic integrated circuits, high-speed optical interconnects, and short-haul few-mode fiber communication systems.

The digital information in images and videos could be used for fully automated captions, indexing, and image structuring. The online image and video data system has seen a significant increase. In such a dataset, images and videos must be retrieved, explored, as well as inspected.

OBJECTIVES: Text extraction is crucial for locating critical as well as important data. Disturbance is indeed a critical factor that affects image quality, and this is primarily generated during image acquisition and communication operations.
An image can be contaminated by a variety of noise-type disturbances. A text in the complex image includes a variety of information which is used to recognise textual as well as non-textual particulars. The particulars in the complicated
corrupted images have been considered important for individuals seeing the entire issue. However, text in complicated degraded images exhibits a rapidly changing form in an unconstrained circumstance, making textual data recognition complicated.

METHODS: The naïve bayes algorithm is a weighted reading technique is used to generate the correct text data from the complicated image regions. Usually, images hold some disturbance as a result of the fact that filtration is proposed during the early pre-processing step. To restore the image's quality, the input image is processed employing gradient and contrast image methods. Following that, the contrast of the source images would be enhanced using an adaptive image map. Stroke width transform, Gabor transform, and weighted naïve bayes classifier methodologies have been used in complicated degraded images to segment, features extraction, and detect textual and non-textual elements.

RESULTS: Finally, to identify categorised textual data, the confluence of deep neural networks and particle swarm optimization is being used. The dataset IIIT5K is used for the development portion, and also the performance of the suggested methodology is assessed by utilizing parameters like as accuracy, recall, precision, and F1 score. It performs well enough for record collections such as articles, even when significantly distorted, and is thus suitable for creating library information system databases.

CONCLUSION: A combination of deep neural network and particle swarm optimization is being used to recognise classified text. The dataset IIIT5K is used for the development portion, and while high performance is achieved with parameters such as accuracy, recall, precision, and F1 score, characters may occasionally deviate. Alternatively, the same character is frequently extracted [3] multiple times, which may result in incorrect textual data being extracted from natural
images. As a result, an efficient technique for avoiding such flaws in the text retrieval process must be implemented in the near future.

Even if ELM has many advantages, it has some potential shortcomings such as performance sensitivity to the underlying state of the hidden neurons, input weights and the choice of functions of activation. To overcome the limitations of traditional ELM, analysts have devised numerical methods to optimise specific parts of ELM in order to enhance ELM performance for a variety of complicated difficulties and applications. Hence through this study, we intend to study the different algorithms developed for optimizing the ELM to enhance its performance in the aspects of survey criteria such as datasets, algorithm, objectives, training time, accuracy, error rate and the hidden neurons. This study will help other researchers to find out the research issues that lowering the performance of the ELM.

However, w…Power consumption in Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology has escalated to a point that only a fractional part of many-core chips can be powered-on at a time. Fortunately, this fraction can be increased at the expense of performance through the dark-silicon solution. However, with many-core integration set to be heading towards its thousands, power consumption and temperature increases per time, meaning the number of active nodes must be reduced drastically. Therefore, optimized techniques are demanded for continuous advancement in technology. Existing eﬀorts try to overcome this challenge by activating nodes from diﬀerent parts of the chip at the expense of communication latency. Other eﬀorts on the other hand employ run-time power management techniques to manage the power performance of the cores trading-oﬀ performance for power. We found out that, for a signiﬁcant amount of power to saved and high temperature to be avoided, focus should be on reducing the power consumption of all the on-chip components. Especially, the memory hierarchy and the interconnect. Power consumption can be minimized by, reducing the size of high leakage power dissipating elements, turning-oﬀ idle resources and integrating power saving materials.

However, the trade-off between runtime and the accuracy in making recommendations is a big challenge. This work combines several traditional techniques to reduce the limitation of each single technique and exploits the Item2Item model to improve the prediction accuracy. As a case study, this paper focuses on user behaviour prediction in restaurant recommender systems and uses a public dataset including restaurant information and user sessions. Within this dataset, user behaviour can be discovered for the collaborative filtering, and restaurant information is extracted for the content-based filtering. The idea of the pre-trained word embedding in Natural Language Processing is utilized in the item-based collaborative filtering to find the similarity between restaurants based on user sessions. Experimental results have shown that the combination of these techniques makes valuable recommendations.

Internet. ProtoGENI is a federated testbed facility supporting slice-based experiments to manage, utilize, and monitor the
resources for innovative network research. Security research in ProtoGENI is crucial because experiments conducted in
manipulated or corruptted test environment can mislead about security mechanism’s capabilities in a system. In this paper,
existing ProtoGENI security mechanisms and functions are tested and analyzed through different experiments to find out
the exploitable attacking loopholes. Experiments elaborate the existing functioning and security issues that can cause nonfunctional,
semi non-functional or malfunctioned systems. Results indicate threats to ProtoGENI resources and run-time
interactions. Cross-experiment communication in Emulab wireless nodes have the capability of assisting in verifying
isolation between ProtoGENI slices. Host security is one of the security components, which can be enhanced by modifying
default security settings including SSH port number and root login rights. Documentation of experiment environment,
experiment design, results, and analysis including many observations is helpful to understand the basic functioning and
security issues to improve the overall functioning and security of ProtoGENI.

However, the success of BEM is contingent on identifying large energy consuming devices, monitoring energy usage, optimal scheduling of flexible appliances, and distinguishing and controlling energy wastage. To this end, this paper discusses the design of Internet of Things (IoT) for a flexible BEM with the backend analytic that performs analysis on energy usage pattern and the wastage. We present the experimental results of real-time monitoring of consumers’ energy usage in a commercial space to identify the electricity wastage. The experiment is conducted at an office testbed using a comprehensive wireless sensor network. Extensive analysis is done to identify the energy wastage pattern of users for reducing the electricity cost. It is demonstrated that it is possible to reduce significant energy wastage when an office building is equipped with the proposed IoT system.

This duplication can be avoided through the use of fast-prototyping methodologies, which enable reusing simulation code in real prototyping and in production environments. Although this functionality is already available by using ns-3 emulation, there are still limitations regarding the support of real network interfaces and easy configuration of the network settings, such as IP and MAC addresses.
In this paper we propose an improved version of the ns-3 emulation component by introducing new functionalities that address these limitations. The new functionalities include the support of new types of real network interfaces and the easier integration of emulation nodes with existing networks by means of a new auto-configuration mechanism for ns-3 nodes. Experimental results obtained in a laboratorial testbed and in a real vehicular network testbed demonstrate the new functionalities proper operation, and their backwards compatibility with previously coded ns-3 scenarios.

Modern wireless networks should be developed to satisfy the increasing demand of quality-of-service (QoS) in mission-critical communications for disaster management which are currently faced with the challenges of limited spectrum, expensive resources, reliable and green communication. There is a tremendous need for optimisation techniques in the study and design of the key functionalities of wireless systems. Until now, almost current optimisation scenarios are often carried out on large timescales (e.g., minutes or hours) without strict time constraints for solving the problems. With the improvement of computational speed, eﬃcient algorithms and advanced coding approaches, a framwork of real-time optimisation programming, which plays a major role in the trend of modern engineering such as mission-critical communications, is introduced for the first time in this paper in the context of natural disaster. In particular, we propose an introduction of embedded convex optimisation programming for unmanned ariel vehicles (UAVs) communications in disaster networks with the strict supervision of executive time in real-time scenarios.

Existing inpainting approaches are: Partial Differential Equations Based Inpainting (PDE-BI) and Exemplar-Based Inpainting (EBI). PDE-BI methods used to fill in the missing information via information propagation from neighbouring areas. However, it can only reconstruct successfully small missing regions that are surrounded by limited texture. However, EBI methods are used to recover large regions with richly-textured/structured areas around them, moreover, artefacts are likely to occur. This paper proposes a technique to reduce the missing region size based on seam carving approach, which enables EBI and PDE-BI to recover the missing part. In our proposal, seam carving is used to reduce only the size of the missing region, to be subsequently recovered using EBI method. The added extra paths resulting from the added seams is repaired using PDE-BI. This method outperformed the state-of-art EBI methods.
