parallel evolution strategies are demonstrating to be worthwhile in a variety of contexts. In this paper, besides the classical genetic and evolutionary strategies, a hybrid evolutionary approach which incorporates memory of the search history within the structure is analyzed. The parallel evolution algorithms are mapped on a distributed memory MIMD multicomputer whose processors are configured in a torus topology. The simulations are conducted using the quadratic assignment problem as an artificial environment. The relationship between genetic representations and recombination operators is investigated. The experimental results obtained show the value of structures richer than bit strings and the effectiveness of memory for the evolution process.< >

This paper describes a new parallel sorting algorithm, derived from the odd-even mergesort algorithm, named "partition and concurrent merging" (PCM). The proposed algorithm is based on a divide-and-conquer strategy. First, the data sequence to be sorted is decomposed in several pieces that are sorted in parallel using Quicksort. After that, all pieces are merged using a recursive procedure to obtain the final sorted sequence. In each iteration of this procedure pairs of sequence pieces are selected and sorted concurrently. The paper analyzes the computational complexity of the new algorithm and compares it with that of other well-known parallel sorting algorithms. We implemented the PCM algorithm on a SGI Origin2000 multiprocessor using OpenMP, sorting different benchmark sets of data sequences. Experimental results are compared with those of the Quicksort sequential algorithm and parallel implementations of other sorting algorithms, obtaining that our proposal outperforms the other solutions

The application of massively parallel multiscale relaxation algorithms to image classification is considered. First, a classical multiscale model applied to supervised image classification is presented. The model consists of a label pyramid and a whole observation field. The potential functions of the coarse grid are derived by simple computations. Then, a scheme which introduces a local interaction between two neighbor grids in the label pyramid is proposed. This is a way to incorporate cliques, with far-apart sites for a reasonable price. Finally, results on noisy synthetic data and on a SPOT image obtained by different relaxation methods using these models are presented.< >

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has become a promising diagnostic method in many medical fields. Non-invasive real-time optical biopsy of internal organs is one of the most attractive applications of OCT enabling in-situ diagnostic of cancer in its early stage, i.e. optical biopsy. For the application, faster OCT methods are required to reduce the inspection time and motion artifacts in images. A criterion to satisfy the purpose is an endoscopic-OCT method capable to display volumetric tomography continuously in real-time at a rate of video movie like conventional endoscopes. In our previous work, we demonstrated ultra-high speed OCT at an A-scan rate of 60 MHz. However, movies were rendered after the data acquisition. In this work, we have developed an ultra-fast data processing system, installed it in the ultra-high speed OCT system, and enabled real time display of various 3D tomography images without limitation of diagnostic time, i.e. 4D OCT imaging, at an A-scan rate, B-scan rate and volume rate of 10 MHz, 4 kHz and 12 volumes/sec, respectively. Various image presentations in real-time are demonstrated such as continuous rendered 3D imaging and continuous 2D-slice scanning 3D imaging.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a global chronic intestinal inflammatory disease, and its incidence rate increases year by year with the progress of economic globalization. Currently, the diagnosis of IBD in children mainly relies on endoscopic examination, but scoring endoscopic images is a challenging issue, especially in distinguishing different types of ulcers. To address this issue, this article designs a mobile application to accelerate data annotation processing and may provide reference for other unlabeled datasets. In the context of image segmentation, blurring labels has become an important issue. Deep learning methods are widely used in medical image segmentation, but their accuracy depends on high-quality annotated data. However, there are low-quality noise areas in the annotated data, and obtaining accurate and high-quality annotations becomes more time-consuming with limited annotation budgets. This article proposes a collaborative training framework to improve learning of noisy pixels. This framework determines the label confidence of an image by calculating the similarity between image pixels and surrounding pixels. Then, two parallel deep networks were constructed for semantic prediction, which aimed to guide each other on pixels that may have noise. By applying consistency in dual network prediction, the semantic information of uncertain pixels is corrected as much as possible. Experimental results have shown that this framework is slightly superior to models trained with pixel level precise labels, thus more effectively utilizing existing annotated data in the case of fuzzy labels.

MapReduce programming model is a popular model to simplify but speed up data parallel applications. However, it is not efficient for iterative applications because of its repeated data transmission with HDFS (Hadoop distributed File System). Conch, a cyclic MapReduce model, is designed for efficient processing of iterative applications. In order to minimize network overhead, shared data is cached locally and a "map-shuffle" phase is presented with a combined transmission mechanism. Meanwhile, a prediction scheduler for iterative applications is brought out to achieve better data locality in terms of runtime information. The experiments show that Conch can support iterative applications transparently and efficiently. Compared with Hadoop and HaLoop in single-job environment, Conch can achieve 13%-17% improvements on K-Means and fuzzy C-Means. Especially in multi-job environment, 63.6% and 28.6% improvements can be obtained compared with Hadoop and HaLoop.

Real-time video surveillance, through CCTV camera systems has become essential for ensuring public safety which is a priority today. Although CCTV cameras help a lot in increasing security, these systems require constant human interaction and monitoring. To eradicate this issue, intelligent surveillance systems can be built using deep learning video classification techniques that can help us automate surveillance systems to detect violence as it happens. In this research, we explore deep learning video classification techniques to detect violence as they are happening. Traditional image classification techniques fall short when it comes to classifying videos as they attempt to classify each frame separately for which the predictions start to flicker. Therefore, many researchers are coming up with video classification techniques that consider spatiotemporal features while classifying. However, deploying these deep learning models with methods such as skeleton points obtained through pose estimation and optical flow obtained through depth sensors, are not always practical in an IoT environment. Although these techniques ensure a higher accuracy score, they are computationally heavier. Keeping these constraints in mind, we experimented with various video classification and action recognition techniques such as ConvLSTM, LRCN (with both custom CNN layers and VGG-16 as feature extractor) CNNTransformer and C3D. We achieved a test accuracy of 80% on ConvLSTM, 83.33% on CNN-BiLSTM, 70% on VGG16-BiLstm,76.76% on CNN-Transformer and 80% on C3D.
