Analysts are often interested in understanding the association between variables within a dataset. This paper describes a set of techniques for augmenting the Heatmap Matrix, which represents pairwise intersections of categorical variables. The proposed extensions include adapting the design and layout of the matrix to enhance its readability, expanding the number of metrics that can be presented, displaying matching records in a coordinated table view, and embedding the Chi-square test of independence. These features are demonstrated on two datasets using the empirical prototype that has been developed.

As the pace grows in the development of image processing techniques and the current applications rise in machine learning and deep learning techniques for visual inspections and physical assessment, this article reviews the existing literature. It provides a detailed synthesis of the overview of surface pavement conditions, computer-vision-based technologies for road damage detection, various datasets and data collection methods. We analyse and compare different machine-learning methods and models proposed in the literature and identify challenges that need to be addressed in the future in road surface defect detection.

Underwater images usually suffer from quality degradation due to light absorption and scattering, leading to color distortion, blurred details, and low contrast. To address these challenges, we propose a global and local two-step optimization method (GLTO). Specifically, we first analyze the statistical features of natural images in the CIELab color space. Meanwhile, we design a heuristic global optimization strategy that minimizes the feature differences between underwater and natural images to restore the color and luminance of the raw image. We develop a local optimization strategy based on luminance information, which uses guided filtering to decompose the luminance channel into large-scale and small-scale high-frequency images and weighted fusion of them to obtain a detail-enhanced luminance channel. Finally, we leverage the local illumination intensity of the image captured by the luminance channel to adjust the local color distortion. Extensive experimental evaluations have demonstrated the superiority of our proposed GLTO method in underwater image preprocessing, which substantially enhances the performance of subsequent image enhancement.

Brain tumors are among the most life-threatening cancers that can affect people of any gender or age. MRI scans manually evaluated by an expert are the initial diagnostic procedure that precedes an appropriate treatment plan. However, the human factor involves the possibility of error, and the process itself can be time-consuming and resourceconsuming, ultimately putting patients’ lives at risk. Therefore, efforts are being made to automate the diagnostic process through computer-aided systems, of which artificial intelligence has become the basis. This paper presents a novel system for detecting brain abnormalities in MRI images that ensures high precision without compromising the simplicity of its operational structure. In the proposed model, numerical features are extracted from grayscale MRI images using the rectangular histogram of oriented gradients method. The resulting features are fed after dimensionality reduction to a specialized sequential deep network composed of 11 learnable layers. The classification accuracy of the model reached 99.51%, outperforming many analogues, making it a promising option for supporting the diagnostic decision-making process.
Recently, formal verification of deep neural networks (DNNs) has garnered considerable attention, and over-approximation based methods have become popular due to their effectiveness and efficiency. However, these stra...

Classical routing heuristics, e.g., Open Shortest Path First, have several significant issues, such as they are not able to generalize or adapt to heterogeneous environments including dynamics of topology, traffic patterns, and Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. To generalize solutions, network operators recently utilized machine learning algorithms at centralized controllers. However, centralized machine learning solutions are not scalable due to many reasons, such as slow data transfer to the central controller in a large network. Distributed multi-agent systems do not require a tedious and complex central controller while reducing data storage and computation burden as tasks are divided and handled at local servers/computers. In this paper, we present a fully distributed multi-agent system named MADQN, addressing the request provisioning problem, i.e., provisioning a request on a dedicated path satisfying latency and bandwidth requirements. MADQN applies a Deep Q-Network reinforcement learning algorithm to train the agents. Although each agent has its data and policy locally, they can still cooperate with other agents to finish a common routing task that maximizes the total reward. We evaluate the effectiveness of the MADQN with a benchmark network that consists of 100 nodes and 432 directed links, and a dynamic set of thousands of requests. The results show that the agents in MADQN can learn to cooperate and provision 99% of the requests, which is about a 9% improvement against the centralized single agent scheme.
With the increased usage of data transmission, data leakage and privacy protection are becoming increasingly critical. Data comes in a variety of forms, and the amount of protection required for each one differs. With...

In the context of edge computing environments, where the storage space and computational resources are constrained, complex super-resolution network models face significant challenges during inference. In this paper, we propose a Fast Super-Resolution Network (FSRN) based on the dynamic path selection mechanism. This method employs a policy network to boost the inference process of super-resolution network models, enabling efficient super-resolution tasks under resource limitations. The primary function of the policy network is to intelligently select appropriate inference paths based on input data and available computational resources. Its key objective is to minimize the degradation in super-resolution quality while reducing the computational burden as much as possible. In view of this objective, we designed a reward function to guide the policy network in discovering the optimal strategies. With the guidance of the policy network, we successfully enhanced the inference speed of super-resolution network models on edge devices while efficiently reducing computational overhead. Extensive experiments verify that the proposed method can significantly reduce the inference time at the cost of slight or even no performance degradation.
