algorithms are powerful and necessary tools behind a large part of the information we use every day. However, they may introduce new sources of bias, discrimination and other unfair practices that affect people who are unaware of it. Greater algorithm transparency is indispensable to provide more credible and reliable services. Moreover, requiring developers to design transparent algorithm-driven applications allows them to keep the model accessible and human understandable, increasing the trust of end users. In this paper we present EBANO, a new engine able to produce prediction-local explanations for a black-box model exploiting interpretable feature perturbations. EBANO exploits the hypercolumns representation together with the cluster analysis to identify a set of interpretable features of images. Furthermore two indices have been proposed to measure the influence of input features on the final prediction made by a CNN model. EBANO has been preliminary tested on a set of heterogeneous images. The results highlight the effectiveness of EBANO in explaining the CNN classification through the evaluation of interpretable features influence.

NASA's Environmentally Responsible Aviation (ERA) project supported the collection of a large stereoscopic Particle image Velocimetry (PIV) dataset of the Open Rotor Propulsion Rig (ORPR) in the 9 x 15 Low Speed Wind Tunnel at the NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC). The data collection effort acquired a volume of three component velocity measurements composed of 30 planes from near the hub radially outward towards the tip. The PIV cameras and laser were mounted to a traverse that allowed the entire data acquisition system to move from plane to plane. The PIV data acquisition was triggered on the front rotor such that the front rotor was always in the same position for each acquisition event. The aft rotor position was not recorded and varied randomly during the acquisition. Because the position of the aft rotor was not synchronized to either the forward rotor or the camera it was necessary to separate individual PIV images based off of the phase of the aft rotor before they could be processed. The phase of the aft rotor was determined by locating the outline of the rotor in the PIV images and determining its position relative to a known point. This process was conducted by an imageprocessing algorithm. Previous algorithms were able to make a relatively accurate 3D model of the wake between the forward and aft rotors, howeiTer some small inaccuracies were present. Improvements to this algorithm allowed for more accurate phase averaging, which yielded an improved PIV dataset. Both rotors were set to the same nominal rotational speed, however variations in motor control and other physical mechanisms allowed for some differences in the true RPM of the two rotors. The effects of the aft rotor on the front rotor blade wakes within the inter-rotor flow field of the ORPR were examined. The aft rotor potential field was shown to have significant upstream impact on the front rotor wakes, altering their topology approaching the aft rotor. The wake strength was quantified throug

The data explosion caused by unprecedented advancements in the field of genomics is constantly challenging the conventional methods used in the interpretation of the human genome. The demand for robust algorithms over the recent years has brought huge success in the field of Deep Learning (DL) in solving many difficult tasks in image, speech and natural language processing by automating the manual process of architecture design. This has been fueled through the development of new DL architectures. Yet genomics possesses unique challenges as we expect DL to provide a super human intelligence that easily interprets a human genome. In this paper, the state-of-the art DL approach based on differential search mechanism was adapted for interpretation of biological sequences. This method has been applied on the splice site recognition task on raw DNA sequences to discover high-performance convolutional architectures by automated *** discovered architecture achieved comparable accuracy when evaluated with a fixed Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) architecture. The results have shown a potential of using this automated architecture search mechanism for solving other problems in genomics.

The article presents a study to design a 6-degree of freedom robotic arm which can pick up objects in random positions on a 2D surface based on Arduino microcontroller, ultrasonic sensors and picamera. The robotic arm is able to recognise objects based on computer vision algorithm for shape detection. The ultrasonic sensor measures the distance between the objects and the robotic arm, and the position of the objects in the real world will be detected by its mass centre in the image to improve the accuracy of the pick-up movement. Arduino microcontroller will calculate the rotation angles for the joints of the robotic arm by using inverse kinematics algorithms. The movement of the robotic arm also can be controlled by an Amazon Alexa voice assistance device. The experiment of applying the artificial neural network to control the robotic arm pick-up movement is achieved. The artificial neural network can manipulate the position of the robotic arm to pick up objects after training using the values which are calculated by inverse kinematics equations. The Raspberry Pi is used for processing the computer vision data, and voice commands from Alexa Voice Service based on cloud service.

Indoor mobile robots are widely used in industrial environments such as large logistic warehouses. They are often in charge of collecting or sorting products. For such robots, computation-intensive operations account for a significant percentage of the total energy consumption and consequently affect battery life. Besides, in order to keep both the power consumption and hardware complexity low, simple micro-controllers or single-board computers are used as onboard local control units. This limits the computational capabilities of robots and consequently their performance. Offloading heavy computation to Cloud servers has been a widely used approach to solve this problem for cases where large amounts of sensor data such as real-time video feeds need to be analyzed. More recently, Fog and Edge computing are being leveraged for offloading tasks such as imageprocessing and complex navigation algorithms involving non-linear mathematical operations. In this paper, we present a system architecture for offloading computationally expensive localization and mapping tasks to smart Edge gateways which use Fog services. We show how Edge computing brings computational capabilities of the Cloud to the robot environment without compromising operational reliability due to connection issues. Furthermore, we analyze the power consumption of a prototype robot vehicle in different modes and show how battery life can be significantly improved by moving the processing of data to the Edge layer.

Hyperspectral image registration is a relevant task for real-time applications like environmental disasters management or search and rescue scenarios. Traditional algorithms for this problem were not really devoted to real-time performance. The HYFMGPU algorithm arose as a high-performance GPU-based solution to solve such a lack. Nevertheless, a single-GPU solution is not enough, as sensors are evolving and then generating images with finer resolutions and wider wavelength ranges. An MPI+CUDA multi-GPU implementation of HYFMGPU was previously presented. However, this solution shows the programming complexity of combining MPI with an accelerator programming model. In this paper we present a new and more abstract programming approach for this type of applications, which provides a high efficiency while simplifying the programming of the multi-device parts of the code. The solution uses Hitmap, a library to ease the programming of parallel applications based on distributed arrays. It uses a more algorithm-oriented approach than MPI, including abstractions for the automatic partition and mapping of arrays at runtime with arbitrary granularity, as well as techniques to build flexible communication patterns that transparently adapt to the data partitions. We show how these abstractions apply to this application class. We present a comparison of development effort metrics between the original MPI implementation and the one based on Hitmap, with reductions of up to 95% for the Halstead score in specific work redistribution steps. We finally present experimental results showing that these abstractions are internally implemented in a high efficient way that can reduce the overall performance time in up to 37% comparing with the original MPI implementation.
