IoT device onboarding, especially in the context of an edge-fog-cloud architecture, still has many challenges to solve. FIDO has already specified a zero-touch onboarding process called FIDO Device Onboarding (FDO) specification. In this paper, we present improvements to the FDO specification regarding performance and privacy. For privacy and security reasons, we show how the URL of the Owner Fog can be hidden from the Rendezvous Server. Further, we replaced the EPID protocol with a promising privacy-preserving protocol called AACKA. We also modified the last phase in the FDO protocol to create a performance improvement.

Aspect-based subjectivity analysis stands as an important task in natural language processing, seeking to identify the subjectivity of various aspects or features within a text. A new method for aspect-based subjectivity analysis using BERT is introduced in this paper. BERT has demonstrated impressive performance across various NLP tasks, and its capabilities are utilized to accurately ascertain the subjectivity of specific aspects within a given text. The approach involves fine-tuning BERT on a sizable dataset annotated with aspect-level subjectivity labels, enabling the model to grasp the subtleties of aspect-based subjectivity analysis. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets are conducted to showcase the effectiveness of this approach and compare it with existing methods. The results reveal that this proposed approach surpasses state-of-the-art techniques in aspect-based subjectivity analysis, underscoring the potential of leveraging BERT for such purposes.

Understanding and predicting pedestrian crossing behavior is essential for enhancing automated driving and improving driving safety. Predicting gap selection behavior and the use of zebra crossing enables driving systems to proactively respond and prevent potential conflicts. This task is particularly challenging at unsignalized crossings due to the ambiguous right of way, requiring pedestrians to constantly interact with vehicles and other pedestrians. This study addresses these challenges by utilizing simulator data to investigate scenarios involving multiple vehicles and pedestrians. We propose and evaluate machine learning models to predict gap selection in non-zebra scenarios and zebra crossing usage in zebra scenarios. We investigate and discuss how pedestrians’ behaviors are influenced by various factors, including pedestrian waiting time, walking speed, the number of unused gaps, the largest missed gap, and the influence of other pedestrians. This research contributes to the evolution of intelligent vehicles by providing predictive models and valuable insights into pedestrian crossing behavior.

AI Generated Content (AIGC) has caught the attention of researchers around the world. Very good results have been achieved in the generation of Western art painting, but little research has been done on the generation of Chinese Landscape Painting (CLP). In addition, the quality of CLP generated by existing studies is still not high enough, they only imitate the color and often lack of details in their scenes. To overcome those weaknesses, we propose a progressive end-to-end Long Memory Adversarial Generation Network (LMGAN) to generate CLP. First, we create a new high-quality CLP dataset. Then we design a memory module and a mapping module to capture more low-dimensional features, as well as a layer extraction module to improve the layers of the generated results. Experiments show that LMGAN can generate richer and more detailed CLP compared to former methods.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of mortality worldwide, and the electrocardiogram (ECG) plays a crucial role in diagnosing CVDs. For decades, ECGs have been recorded in printed formats, and their digitization offers significant potential for training machine learning (ML) models in algorithmic ECG diagnosis. However, the valuable information in physical ECG archives risks deterioration, leading to a considerable loss in CVD research, particularly in low and low-middle-income countries where paper-based ECGs are common. Furthermore, merely scanning printed ECGs is inadequate, as most ML models require ECG time-series data. Therefore, digitizing and converting paper ECG archives into time-series data is essential. In this context, deep learning models for image processing are promising. Nonetheless, the scarcity of clinical ECG archives with reference time-series data presents a challenge. To overcome this, data augmentation techniques using digital twins offer a potential solution. We introduce ECG-Image-Kit, an open-source toolbox for generating synthetic ECG images with realistic artifacts from time-series data, and showcase its application in developing algorithms for ECG image digitization. Synthetic data is generated by producing distortionless ECG images on a standard ECG paper background. Subsequently, various distortions, including handwritten text artifacts, wrinkles, creases, and perspective transformations, are applied to these ECG images. The artifacts and text are synthetically generated, excluding personally identifiable information. The toolbox is used for data augmentation in the 2024 PhysioNet Challenge on Digitization and Classification of ECG Images. As a case study, we employed ECG-Image-Kit to create an ECG image dataset of 21,801 records from the PhysioNet QT database [1, 2]. A denoising convolutional neural network (DnCNN)-based model was developed and trained on this synthetic dataset and used to convert the synthetically ge

The recent integration of neural networks into the domain of direction of arrival estimation marks a promising fron-tier in the landscape of next-generation wireless communications. Our paper meticulously delves into the architecture of the proposed deep convolutional neural network (DCNN), presenting a novel framework designed to streamline the classification process within the output layer. Operating on correlation matrices created by signals received by a 4 × 4 planar antenna array, our DCNN predicts angles of arrival in 3D space. We assess the model's performance in scenarios involving the simultaneous reception of signals, employing the mean absolute error as a metric to gauge prediction errors in the angle domain. The simulation results affirm the superior performance of the proposed deep learning-based scheme. The model's robustness is rigorously examined across various validation cases, providing conclusive evidence of its potential in real-world applications.
