Application of bilateral fusion model based on CNN in hyperspectral image classification by Hongmin GAO, Xueying CAO, Yao YANG, Zaijun HUA, Chenming LI

“…Aiming at the issues of decreasing spatial resolution and feature loss caused by pooling operation in depth CNN-based hyperspectral image classification algorithm,a bilateral fusion block network （DFBN）composed of bilateral fusion blocks was designed.The upper structure of bilateral fusion block was constituted by 1×1 convolution and hyperlink,which was used to transfer local spatial characteristics.The lower structure was constituted by pooling layer,convolutional layer,deconvolution layer and upsampling to enhance the characteristics of efficient discrimination.Experimental results on three benchmark hyperspectral image data sets illustrate that the model is superior to other similar classification models.…”

Combined application of chemical and organic fertilizers enhances soil organic carbon sequestration and crop productivity by improving carbon stability and management index in a ri... by Hu Xu, Adnan Mustafa, Qudsia Saeed, Guiying Jiang, Nan Sun, Kailou Liu, Jiri Kucerik, Xueyun Yang, Minggang Xu

“…After 29 years of fertilization, we observed that NPKM resulted in the highest OC stocks (11.47 and 26.15 Mg ha−1, respectively) and distribution ratios (24 and 54%, respectively) in the less-labile fraction and passive pool. Conversely, it showed the lowest OC values in the labile fraction and active pool compared to CK, NPK, and 2NPK treatments. …”

Attention-based approach of detecting spam in social networks by Qiang QU, Hongtao YU, Ruiyang HUANG

“…In social networks,a large amount of spam has seriously threaten users' information security and the credit system of social websites.Aiming at the noise and sparsity problems,an attention-based CNN method was proposed to detect spam.On the basis of classical CNN,this method added a filter layer in which an attention mechanism based on Naive Bayesian weighting technology was designed to solve the noise issue.What’s more,instead of the original pooling strategy,it adapted an attention-based pooling policy to alleviate the sparsity problem.Compared with other methods,the results show that the accuracy has increased by 1.32%，2.15%，0.07%，1.63% on four different data sets.…”

Heterogeneous executor scheduling algorithm for mimic cloud service by Liming PU, Shuxin LIU, Ruihao DING, Kai WANG

“…At present,most heterogeneous scheduling models were only designed from the perspective of space or time,without comprehensive consideration the characteristics of time and space,and there was a problem of insufficient balance between dynamics and heterogeneity.In order to balance the dynamic,heterogeneous and redundant characteristics of the mimic cloud service system,an executor pool scheduling algorithm based on priority and time slice was proposed,which performed priority pre-sorting based on the executor pool similarity indicator,and scheduled the program in combination with strategies such as time slice.The experimental results show that the algorithm has good dynamics,and its time slice strategy can achieve a balance of dynamics and heterogeneity,and the algorithm takes less time.…”
