For the problem of time, effort and money consuming to obtain a large number of samples by conventional means faced by Artificial Intelligence (AI) application research in different fields, a variety of sample augmentation methods have been proposed in many AI research fields. Firstly, the research background and significance of data augmentation were introduced. Then, the methods of data augmentation in several common fields (including natural image recognition, character recognition and discourse parsing) were summarized, and on this basis, a detailed overview of sample acquisition or augmentation methods in the field of medical image assisted diagnosis was provided, including X-ray, Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images. Finally, the key issues of data augmentation methods in AI application fields were summarized and the future development trends were prospected. It can be concluded that obtaining a sufficient number of broadly representative training samples is the key to the research and development of all AI fields. Both the common fields and the professional fields have conducted sample augmentation, and different fields or even different research directions in the same field have different sample acquisition or augmentation methods. In addition, sample augmentation is not simply to increase the number of samples, but to reproduce the existence of real samples that cannot be completely covered by small sample size as far as possible, so as to improve sample diversity and enhance AI system performance.
The data link capacity of 1090ES (1090 MHz Extended Squitter) could be expended by modulating 1090 MHz signal with phase information, thus RS (Reed-Solomon) calibration technology of 1090ES expansion system based on 8PSK (8 Phase Shift Keying) phase modulation was studied. Firstly, the total length of the RS code symbols was designed as 54 according to the characteristics of RS code and the data link structure of 1090ES expansion system. Secondly, error performance with different RS code coding efficiency was discussed, and its influence on performance of the 1090ES expansion system was analyzed, thereby, the optimum selection of RS code coding efficiency range was determined as 0.6-0.7. Finally, the concrete analysis of the error performance in the selected encoding efficiency range was given, and then the experimental results show that the length of information symbols could be chosen as 32, 34 or 36. Furthermore, Matlab simulation analysis shows that the designed RS code can effectively improve the error performance of 1090ES expansion system with RS(54, 32) as an example.
In this paper, the military Petrol-Oil and Lubricants (POL) allotment and transportation problem was studied by introducing the concept of support time window. Considering the complicated restrictions of POL support time and transportation capability, the POL allotment and transportation model based on multiple time windows was proposed by using Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) modelling approach. Firstly, the formalized description of the problem elements was presented, such as POL support station, demand unit, support time window, support demand, and support task. Based on the formalized description, the CSP model for POL support was constructed. The multi-objective model was transformed into single-objective one by using perfect point method. Finally, the solving procedure and its steps were designed based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, and an arithmetic example was followed to demonstrate the application of the method. In the example, the two optimization schemes obtained by the model given in this paper and got by the model in which the objective is maximizing the quantity supported were compared. In the two schemes, the transportation capacity both reached a maximum utilization, but the start supporting time of each POL demand in the scheme of the proposed method was no later than the one in the scheme of the single-objective model. By comparing different optimization schemes, it is shown that the proposed model and algorithm can effectively solve the multi-objective POL support optimization problem.
A Novel Quantum Differential Evolutionary (NQDE) algorithm was proposed for the Blocking Flowshop Scheduling Problem (BFSP) to minimize the makespan. The NQDE algorithm combined Quantum Evolutionary Algorithm (QEA) with Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm, and a novel quantum rotating gate was designed to control the evolutionary trend and increase the diversity of population. An effective Quantum-inspired Evolutionary Algorithm-Variable Neighborhood Search (QEA-VNS) co-evolutionary strategy was also developed to enhance the global search ability of the algorithm and to further improve the solution quality. The proposed algorithm was tested on the Taillard's benchmark instances, and the results show that the number of optimal solutions obtained by NQDE is bigger than the current better heuristic algorithm-Improved Nawaz-Enscore-Ham Heuristic (INEH) evidently. Specifically, the optimal solutions of 64 instances in the 110 instances are improved by NQDE. Moreover, the performance of NQDE is superior to the valid meta-heuristic algorithm-New Modified Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm (NMSFLA) and Hybrid Quantum DE (HQDE), and the Average Relative Percentage Deviation (ARPD) of NQDE algorithm decreases by 6% contrasted with the latter ones. So it is proved that NQDE algorithm is suitable for the large scale BFSP.
To effectively control large-scale outbreak, the propagation properties of the leeching P2P (Peer-to-Peer) botnet was studied using dynamics theory. Firstly, a delayed differential-equation model was proposed according to the formation of the botnet. Secondly, the threshold expression of controlling botnet was obtained by the explicit mathematical analysis. Finally, the numerical simulations verified the correctness of theoretical analysis. The theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the botnet can be completely eliminated if the basic reproduction number is less than 1. Otherwise, the defense measures can only reduce the scale of botnet. The simulation results show that decreasing the infection rate of bot programs or increasing the immune rate of nodes in the network can effectively inhibit the outbreak of botnet. In practice, the propagation of bot programs can be controlled by some measures, such as uneven distribution of nodes in the network, timely downloading patch and so on.
Accurate background model is the paramount base for object extracting and tracing. In response to swing objects which part quasi-periodically changed in intricate scene, based on multi-Gaussian background model, a new Quasi-Periodic Background Algorithm (QPBA) was proposed to suppress the swing objects and establish an accurate and stable background model. The specific process included: According to multi-Gaussian background model, the object classification in scene was set up, and the effect on Gaussian model's parameters caused by swing objects was analyzed. By using color distribution values as samples to establish Gaussian model to keep swing pixels, the swing model in swing pixels was integrated into background model with weight factors of occurrence frequency and time interval. Comparison among QPBA and the classical background modeling algorithms such as GMM (Gaussian Mixture Model), ViBe (Visual Background extractor) and CodeBook was put forward, and the results were assessed in aspects of quality, quantity and efficiency. It shows that QPBA has a more obvious suppression on swing objects, and its fall-out ratio is less than 1%, so that it can handle the scene with swing objects. At the same time, its correct detection number is consistent with other algorithms, thus the moving objects can be reserved perfectly. In addition, the efficiency of QPBA is high, and its resolving time is approximate to CodeBook, which can satisfy the requirements of real-time computation.
