While Spatio-Temporal Graph Convolutional Networks (STGCNs) are an effective method for traffic speed fore-casting, their training and inference tend to be time-consuming. In this paper, we aim to refine these networks by strategically reducing their number of nodes, thereby boosting computational efficiency. The nodes in these graphs represent data observed for road segments, and by analyzing the interconnections and layout of the graph, we can identify nodes with minimal contribution to overall performance. Removing these nodes can potentially decrease computation time while maintaining the prediction accuracy. We employ the Biased Random-Key Genetic Algorithm (BRKGA) to identify a good set of nodes for removal, based on a predefined percentage reduction of the original graph size (e.g., retaining 95 % of the original graph). We evaluate different graph size configurations, ranging from 95 % to 70 % node retention, to determine the least impactful node set performance. Our experiments on three real-world datasets reveal that reducing nodes can decrease computation time by up to 29%, and as a byproduct of removing noise, even improve the prediction accuracy.

In this paper, we aim to reduce the number of nodes from Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), thereby simplifying models and reducing computational costs. GNNs are highly effective for various tasks, such as prediction, classification, and clustering, due to their ability to learn node and edge attributes and relationships, and they have been utilized for intelligent transportation systems recently by converting sensor networks into graph structures. Deep spatio-temporal neural networks, including Spatio-Temporal Graph Convolutional Networks (STGCNs), capture spatial and temporal dependencies, making them suitable for traffic speed forecasting, traffic demand prediction, and travel time estimation. Despite their success, GNNs face challenges in industrial applications due to significant memory usage and time consumption. In this paper, we propose a new approach to node reduction that outperforms existing methods in computational efficiency. Our experiments on two real-world traffic datasets demonstrate that using the heuristic and edge information to reduce nodes can cut computation time of optimization up to 95% and, by eliminating noise, can even enhance prediction accuracy.

Query language execution is widely used in big data. The SQL standard is the major query language. Big data has a lot of SQL-like tools, for example: Spark-SQL, Hive, Drill, and Presto. This paper focused on Hive with the Spark engine. To increase Hive’s query performance in a case study, NVMe Solid State Devices, we proposed the compressed Parquet file including SNAPPY, gzip, and Zstandard (zstd). Query workloads use TPC-H benchmark. Thus, this compression codec can reduce the main transaction table of TPC-H benchmark by 56%, and some queries have lower CPU usage than Text file. However, the Hive on Spark engine with our proposed compression codecs for Parquet files has lower CPU usage than Text file in some TPC-H queries. Thus, NVMe storage with the Parquet file compression codec is more efficient than text files for improving query performance on the Spark engine.

Passenger transport is one of the most common ways of commuting in Taiwan. It plays an important role in the transportation system due to its large number of stations, dense frequency, and cheap transportation. Due to the unfriendly transportation environment and a large number of passengers, a blind spot of passenger transportation exists, which leads to traffic accidents at the station. We research to make the "Bus Stop Passenger Detection System". Taking the object detection of "Wheelchairs" into consideration, it is more convenient to assist the disabled to find the passenger transportation system, which makes Taiwan's transportation system more convenient.

Recently, Wang et al. proposed a computationally transferable authenticated key agreement protocol for smart healthcare by adopting the certificateless public-key cryptography. They claimed that their protocol could ensure privacy, resist various attacks, and possess superior properties. After analyzing their protocol, we find that it suffers from some flaws. Firstly, user privacy is not ensured as claimed. Secondly, some statements are inaccurate or missing. Thirdly, it cannot resist DoS attack. In this paper, the details of how these flaws threaten Wang et al.’s protocol are shown.

Physician scheduling is a critical task that impacts the quality of patient care, staff satisfaction, and operational efficiency in healthcare institutions. The traditional approach to physician scheduling is manual and time-consuming, which can result in errors, staff burnout, and suboptimal schedules. To address these challenges, researchers have turned to optimization techniques like CSP, which has shown promise in solving physician scheduling problems. This paper reviews the existing literature on CSP for physician scheduling and highlights the benefits and limitations of this approach. CSP's benefits include generating schedules quickly and efficiently, incorporating complex constraints and preferences, and handling changes and disruptions in real time. However, CSP also has some limitations, such as the need for a formalized model and the fact that it may not always generate the most intuitive schedules. Overall, the findings suggest that CSP is a promising approach to physician scheduling that can produce high-quality schedules while minimizing staff burnout and improving operational efficiency.

Medical image analysis is a challenging and complex field these days. This discipline focuses especially on the processing of MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) images. It offers multiple methods for locating brain tumors in MRI brain images and compares the precision of all the findings. Convolutional neural networks (CNN) and ResNet architectures are used to train the model. As deep learning models are highly efficient and correctly identify whether the MRI picture of a tumor is healthy or unhealthy. In this work, high-level features are extracted from the input images using the CNN architecture, which has multiple pooling layers. To create the final classification model, fully connected layers are then routed through the extracted characteristics. However, CNN has some drawbacks, and to overcome these issues, a ResNet based architecture has been used. Additionally, U-Net-based MRI brain tumor segmentation algorithms have gained popularity because they significantly improve segmentation accuracy by infusing high-level and low-level feature information via skip connections. The suitability of an attention module called Attention Gate, which was recently developed, for tasks involving the segmentation of brain tumors has also been explored in this work.
The amount of data processed in the cloud, the development of Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications, and growing data privacy concerns force the transition from cloud-based to edge-based processing. Limited energy and...

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are neurodevelopmental disorders that are marked by enduring difficulties with speech, nonverbal communication, and restricted or repetitive behaviors. Early detection and intervention can greatly improve outcomes for people with ASD. Recently, deep learning algorithms have been applied to aid in the early detection of ASD using facial images. In this work, modifications of the commonly used VGG16 and VGG19 models for image recognition tasks are proposed to improve the performance of detecting ASD from a child’s frontal face image. The proposed model is unique, as it alters the architecture of existing models, adds an attentional mechanism, and applys transfer learning. These changes are intended to decrease the chance of overfitting and enhance the model’s capacity to capture subtle face characteristics. The performance of the updated model is assessed through accuracy, which is 82.55% for VGG19 and 80% for VGG16 model, and contrasted the outcomes of the original model. Performance of the modified model is also compared with that of the original model. The obtained results show that the modified model outperforms in detecting ASD from facial images, suggesting that the proposed modification is non-invasive for early detection of ASD and has the potential to contribute to the development of efficient tools.
