Fine-grained recognition is challenging due to its subtle local inter-class differences versus large intra-class variations. Finding those subtle traits that fully characterize the object is not straightforward. In this paper, we present a novel random part localization model, which first extracts the foreground object using the saliency map, and then localizes the discriminative parts through a set of potential regions in a random way based on their contribution to classification. We train three convolutional neural networks to capture the features that belong to different levels and average their classification results as our final prediction score. Experiments show that our approach achieves competitive performance compared with state-of-the-art methods on three publicly available fine-grained recognition datasets (CUB-200-2011, Stanford Cars and FGVC-Aircraft).

To reduce the computational cost of particle swarm optimization (PSO) methods, research has begun on the use of Graphics processing Units (GPUs) to achieve faster processing speeds. However, since PSO methods search based on a global best value, they are hampered by the frequent need for communication with global memory. Even using a standard PSO that uses a local best value does not solve this problem. In this paper, we propose a virtual global best method that speeds up computations by defining a time-delayed global best as a virtual global best in order to reduce the frequency of communication with low-speed global memory. We also propose a method that combines decomposition-based multi-objective PSO (MOPSO/D) with a virtual global best method to speed up multi-objective particle swarm optimization by running it in parallel while maintaining search accuracy, and we demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach by using a number of unimodal/multimodal single objective benchmark test functions and three classical benchmark test functions with two objectives.

Given the Covid-19 pandemic, the retail industry shifts many business models to enable more online purchases that produce large transaction data quantities (i.e., big data). Data science methods infer seasonal trends about products from this data and spikes in purchases, the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, or brand loyalty but require extensive processing power leveraging High-Performance Computing to deal with large transaction datasets. This paper proposes an High-Performance Computing-based expert system architectural design tailored for ‘big data analysis’ in the retail industry, providing data science methods and tools to speed up the data analysis with conceptual interoperability to commercial cloud-based services. Our expert system leverages an innovative Modular Supercomputer Architecture to enable the fast analysis by using parallel and distributed algorithms such as association rule mining (i.e., FP-Growth) and recommender methods (i.e., collaborative filtering). It enables the seamless use of accelerators of supercomputers or cloud-based systems to perform automated product tagging (i.e., residual deep learning networks for product image analysis) to obtain colour, shapes automatically, and other product features. We validate our expert system and its enhanced knowledge representation with commercial datasets obtained from our ON4OFF research project in a retail case study in the beauty sector.

This paper focuses on the practical problem of detecting taxi anomalous detours. In this paper, we propose a length-adaptive detection approach called LADD to detect if a taxi conducted an anomalous detour by investigating the taxi journey's trajectory. We employ a similarity-based detection strategy, which takes trajectory length into consideration. Our approach can deal with both long and short trajectories by applying weighted similarity on trajectories and using trajectory concatenation or clipping. For quantitative performance comparison, we propose a performance metric, and compare our approach with the state-of-the-art methods on a real-world dataset. The results verify the superior performance of LADD on taxi detour detection.

In view of the shortcomings of the basic lion swarm optimization, which is prone to local optimization and low convergence accuracy in partial optimization, this paper proposes a lion swarm optimization based on balanced local and global search with different distributions. The improved algorithm adds chaos search and different distributed perturbation strategies to the positions of lions in the earlier stage, which improves the optimization efficiency of the algorithm in the optimization process. These disturbance strategies include variations based on Cauchy mutation, t probability distribution, and levy flight. The simulation results of the test functions show that the optimization accuracy of the improved algorithm is much higher than that of the basic lion swarm optimization. The improved algorithm effectively prevents the swarm optimization from easily falling into the local optimization value in the extremely difficult optimization functions.

Facts in military field tend to involve elements of time, space, quantity, status, and so on. Existing methods of representing knowledge in the form of triples fail to adequately express these facts, and also cause obstacles to knowledge storage and updating. Furthermore, question answering on these facts introduces new complexity dimension, which are complicated to be supported by existing corpus. Thus, we construct a Chinese knowledge base for military field covering entities and events centric knowledge, referred as MilKB. It consists of 965 entities and 3,017 facts. Moreover, we classify the natural questions into 26 types and construct a complex question answering dataset derived from MilKB, referred as MilKBQA. It consists of 2,829 question-answer pairs, in which 600 are event-centric ones. Experiments with three recent strong baseline models demonstrate that MilKBQA requires further research.

Particle filters have been widely used in estimating the states of dynamic systems by using Bayesian interference and stochastic sampling techniques. parallel computing techniques were introduced to improve the performance of sequential particle filters with multiple processing units (PUs). However, the unavoidable communications between Pus, lower the performance. The hybrid and adaptive resampling algorithms were proposed to improve the performance of parallel/distributed particle filters by reducing the communication costs without loss of estimation accuracy. In this paper, we propose an adaptive sampling and resampling technique in particle filters. In the proposed algorithm, the number of particle is dynamically adjustable based on the model convergence. As a result, less particles will be used if the current convergence is good and more particles will be used if the convergence is getting bad. The experimental results show the improved performance by using less particles and reducing the communication cost compared with other algorithms.
