YOLOv8n-DDSW: an efficient fish target detection network for dense underwater scenes by Jinwang Yi, Wei Han, Fangfei Lai

“…Therefore, the YOLOv8n-DDSW fish target detection algorithm was proposed in this article to resolve the detection difficulties resulting from fish occlusion, deformation and detail loss in complex intensive aquaculture scenarios. (1) The C2f-deformable convolutional network (DCN) module is proposed to take the place of the C2f module in the YOLOv8n backbone to raise the detection accuracy of irregular fish targets. (2) The dual-pooling squeeze-and-excitation (DPSE) attention mechanism is put forward and integrated into the YOLOv8n neck network to reinforce the features of the visible parts of the occluded fish target. (3) Small detection is introduced to make the network more capable of sensing small targets and improving recall. (4) Wise intersection over union (IOU) rather than the original loss function is used for improving the bounding box regression performance of the network. …”

A METHOD FOR INVESTIGATING MACHINE LEARNING ATTACKS ON ARBITER-TYPE PHYSICALLY UNCLONABLE FUNCTIONS by Yuri A. Korotaev

“…This approach allows for a preliminary evaluation of the effectiveness of different algorithms for attacking APUFs without access to challenge-response datasets from real instances of physically unclonable functions. Attacks were conducted on models of basic and modified variants of APUFs from the open-source library "pypuf", using classical logistic regression and artificial neural networks (ANNs). …”
