This paper presents a method to generate a variety of micro-architectures for a given hardware accelerator mapped onto reconfigurable fabric optimized for different operating frequencies. The most optimal micro-architecture is then loaded onto the fabric for a given operating frequency in order to minimize the power consumption. State-of-the-art FPGAs are runtime reconfigurable and provide multiple clock domains. This enables these devices to reconfigure any accelerator mapped on them and their frequencies at runtime. At the same time, FPGA vendors have embraced high-Level Synthesis (HLS) to increase the design productivity and help designers with limited hardware development skills to program these devices. One of the advantages of HLS over traditional RT-level hardware design is that HLS allows to automatically generate micro-architectures with unique area, performance and power trade-offs by setting different synthesis options, which is impractical or very time consuming at the RT-level. This work leverages these two features and investigates the benefit of adapting the micro-architecture of hardware accelerators mapped onto a reconfigurable fabric at runtime when the operating frequency changes to reduce the power consumption, while maximizing the throughput. To enable the frequency-aware micro-architectural adaptation we also propose a simple micro-architectural resource manager and show that the overhead in terms of area and delay is negligible. We conduct two sets of experiments. The first shows that our proposed approach leads to faster circuits which consume less power than just statically scaling the frequency of the fastest micro-architecture for a variety of different test cases. The second case, presents case study of a face detection application mapped onto a battery-operated wireless camera sensor node powered by solar cells.

Graph representations have been widely used in pattern recognition thanks to their powerful representation formalism and rich theoretical background. A number of error-tolerant graph matching algorithms such as graph edit distance have been proposed for computing a distance between two labelled graphs. However, they typically suffer from a high computational complexity, which makes it difficult to apply these matching algorithms in a real scenario. In this paper, we propose an efficient graph distance based on the emerging field of geometric deep learning. Our method employs a message passing neural network to capture the graph structure and learns a metric with a siamese network approach. The performance of the proposed graph distance is validated in two application cases, graph classification and graph retrieval of handwritten words, and shows a promising performance when compared with (approximate) graph edit distance benchmarks.

This study aims to identify the quality and effectiveness of the application of authentic web-based assessments in computer network learning on wireless material, and to identify profiles of students' skills and knowledge competencies in learning computer networks on wireless material. The trial was conducted at the Faculty of computer Science, University of Dharmas Indonesia. This research uses a descriptive method. The population in this study were students of the Informatics Engineering Study program. Sampling is done using the purposive sampling method. Based on the results of the study, the quality of authentic assessments showed validity for assessment of performance of 0.94 (high) and reliability of 0.93 (very high), while the validity for the description question was 0.97 (very high) and reliability was 0.98 (very high). Based on observations on the effectiveness of the implementation of authentic assessments and student questionnaires, the level of application of authentic assessments is in categories both at the stage of assessment preparation, implementation of assessment and reflection. The skills competency profile of most students is in very good category, while the knowledge competencies of most students fall into sufficient categories for each indicator of the problem.

Process monitoring is an essential part of industrial systems. It requires higher product quality and safety operations. Therefore, a nonlinear data-driven approach based reduced KPCA (RKPCA) for statistical monitoring of industrial processes is developed. RKPCA is a novel machine learning tool which merges dimensionality reduction and supervised learning. The use of classical KPCA for modeling and monitoring purposes can impose a high computational load when a large number of measurements are recorded. The main idea of the proposed RKPCA approach is to reduce the number of observations (samples) in the data matrix using the Euclidean distance between samples as dissimilarity metric so that only one observation is kept in case of redundancy. The Tennessee Eastman Process (TEP) is used to evaluate the fault detection abilities of the proposed RKPCA technique. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated and compared to the classical KPCA in terms of false alarms rates (FAR), missed detection rates (MDR) and computation times (CT).

Diabetes is a disease caused by high blood sugar levels in the body. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a vision-threatening disease that primarily affects people who have diabetes for many years. It is the major cause of blindness in people with diabetes. Medical work in this domain indicated that blindness could be prevented by providing proper treatment by diagnosing DR at the initial stage. The proper screening requires the training of manual graders to understand the type of DR. However, the overall cost of this screening program increases due to the complexity of this process and workload on pathologists. State of the art methods has focused on simple retinal image analysis to eliminate the patients who are not affected by this disease. Therefore, reducing the overall cost of this process by decreasing the workload of pathologists. The focus of this research work is to automatically detect the severity level of DR instead of just providing information about its presence that can further reduce the DR costs. Therefore, we designed an automated framework to extract the anatomy independent features and trained the SVM classifier to detect different DR stages. We used the Kaggle DR-data set to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. For each stage of DR, which indicates the effectiveness of the proposed technique, an average accuracy of 96.4% was achieved. Experimental results show that the proposed method can efficiently and reliably detect DR in large image data sets. The main contribution of the proposed work is to design efficient, cost-effective and fully automatic DR screening techniques.
