Chest X-rays (CXRs) are a crucial and extraordinarily common diagnostic tool, leading to heavy research for computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) solutions. However, both high classification accuracy and meaningful model predictions that respect and incorporate clinical taxonomies are crucial for CAD usability. To this end, we present a deep Hierarchical Multi-Label Classification (HMLC) approach for CXR CAD. Different than other hierarchical systems, we show that first training the network to model conditional probability directly and then refining it with unconditional probabilities is key in boosting performance. In addition, we also formulate a numerically stable cross-entropy loss function for unconditional probabilities that provides concrete performance improvements. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to apply HMLC to medical imaging CAD. We extensively evaluate our approach on detecting 14 abnormality labels from the PLCO dataset, which comprises 198;000 manually annotated CXRs. We report a mean Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 0:887, the highest yet reported for this dataset. These performance improvements, combined with the inherent usefulness of taxonomic predictions, indicate that our approach represents a useful step forward for CXR CAD.

A simulation software is a mathematical model translated into code and it describes a physical system. Given the fact that designing and writing simulation software requires a lot of knowledge about the system we want to model, we will focus on integrating optimization software with existing simulation programs for high energy particles and molecular dynamics. An optimization software is a special kind of software that targets applications and tunes their parameters and input accordingly to the desired result. By performing an optimization step, we are aiming either a lower run time or a better simulation precision. COSMOS is a framework that aims to provide three main functions: to optimize simulation output with respect to program input and parameters, to provide improved scheduling policies for all tasks of the simulation packages on HPC resources, and to offer enhanced sensitivity analysis of application parameters.

high reliability is required for many safety-critical and real-time applications. It is difficult to avoid permanent faults during the executing process of tasks. Once such faults are not processed in time, real-time tasks cannot be completed within the specified time, which may lead to catastrophic consequences. In order to deal with the problem of permanent fault tolerance in heterogeneous real-time systems, in this paper, we propose a balanced cost fault-tolerant scheduling algorithm. First, the algorithm uses the task computation time and the average communication time of its successor nodes as the ranking factors when calculating task priority, so that the priority of the task with larger average communication time improved; second, a task cost table is established, and tasks are allocated to appropriate processors according to the values in the task cost table in processor allocation stage. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively improve the system reliability and reduce the completion time.

Myriad applications of Deep Neural Networks (DNN) and the race for better accuracy have paved the way for the development of more computationally intensive network architectures. Execution of these heavy networks on embedded devices needs highly efficient real-time DNN inference frameworks. But the sequential architecture of popular DNNs makes it difficult to parallelize its operations among different processors. We propose a novel pipelining method pluggable on top of conventional inference frameworks and capable of parallelizing DNN inference on heterogeneous processors without impacting the accuracy. We partition the network into subnets, by estimating the optimal split points, and pipeline these subnets across multiple processors. The results shows that the proposed method achieves up to 68% improvement in the frames per second (FPS) rate of popular network architectures like VGG19, DenseNet-121 and ResNet-152. Moreover, we show that our method can be used to extract even more performance out of highperformance chipsets, by better utilizing the capabilities of its AI processor ecosystem. We also showcase that our method can be easily extended to other low performance chipsets, where this additional performance gain is crucial to deploy real-time AI applications. Our results show performance improvement of up to 47% in the FPS rate on these chipsets without the need of specialized AI hardware.

The pier settlement leads to the irregularity of highspeed maglev track, which affects the safety and stability of train operation. It is very important to set the safety threshold of pier settlement reasonably and accurately. In this paper, the dynamic model of high-speed maglev train/track interaction system is established. The total response of track beam is divided into static response caused by pier settlement and dynamic response caused by vibration of elastically beam, so a track beam model composed of dynamic displacement model and static displacement model is established. The dynamic performance of the train/track coupling system is evaluated under the conditions of different settlement values and number of settlement piers, and the safety threshold of pier settlement is analyzed from the perspective of passenger comfort and running stability of the train. The results show that the safety threshold of pier settlement is about 16mm for the maglev train with a speed of 400km/h.

Social lending or peer to peer lending (p2p lending) has emerged as a viable digital platform where lenders and borrowers can do business without the involvement of financial institutions. P2p lending has gained significant momentum recently, with some platform has reached billion-dollar loan circulation. However, p2p lending platforms are not free from any form of risks. A higher return on investment for investor comes with a risk of the loan and interest not being repaid. For this purpose, this research proposes a tree-based classification method for predicting whether a loan will go bad or default before the loan is approved. The high dimensionality of the dataset needs to be processed and chosen carefully. This paper proposes a Binary PSO with SVM to perform feature selection for the dataset and Extremely Randomized Tree (ERT) and Random Forest (RF) as the classifiers. In this research, BPSOSVM-ERT and BPSOSVM-RF are compared with several performance metrics. The experimental results show BPSOSVM can produce subset of features without decreasing the performance from the original features and ERT can outperform RF in several performance metrics.
