A Deep Bidirectional LSTM-GRU Network Model for Automated Ciphertext Classification
Ezat Ahmadzadeh, Hyunil Kim, Ongee Jeong, Namki Kim, Inkyu Moon
SJR Q1FWCI 6.1IEEE AccessOA

Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Units (GRU) are a class of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) suitable for sequential data processing. Bidirectional LSTM (BLSTM) enables a better understanding of context by learning the future time steps in a bidirectional manner. Moreover, GRU deploys reset and update gates in the hidden layer, which is computationally more efficient than a conventional LSTM. This paper proposes an efficient network model based on deep BLSTM-GRU for ciphertext cl

In this paper, we propose a gait type classification method using various sensors in a smart insole. The measured data are normalized to the unit step of the same length in order to reduce the variation of the speed according to the measurement point and the situation even within the same gait type. From the normalized data of the individual sensors, the discriminant features useful for gait type classification are extracted by using the Null-Space Linear Discriminant Analysis (NLDA), one of the

The recent progress in deep learning has given rise to a non-invasive and effective approach for animal biometrics. These modern techniques allow researchers to track animal individuals on a large-scale image database. Typical approaches are suited to a closed-set recognition problem, which is to identify images of known objects only. However, such approaches are not scalable because they mis-classify images of unknown objects. To recognize the images of unknown objects as ‘unknown’, a framework

SJR Q2FWCI 1.4BioengineeringOA

We propose a novel transfer learning framework for pathological image analysis, the Response-based Cross-task Knowledge Distillation (RCKD), which improves the performance of the model by pretraining it on a large unlabeled dataset guided by a high-performance teacher model. RCKD first pretrains a student model to predict the nuclei segmentation results of the teacher model for unlabeled pathological images, and then fine-tunes the pretrained model for the downstream tasks, such as organ cancer
