The authors consider conditions where the distribution of the components of the difference between two independent identically distributed random variables can be uniquely reconstructed with an accuracy of up to a shift and reflection. This uniqueness is essential for solving a number of characterization problems in mathematical statistics. An algorithm for estimating the components is presented for when data are given in a symmetrized form.

Melanoma is a very dangerous type of skin cancer and its detection in the early stages is necessary for proper treatment. The article proposes an intelligent system, based on the fusion of the decisions of several neural networks to increase the performance in melanoma detection from dermatoscopic images. The system implementation method is based on the optimal choice of the number and type of neural networks involved by testing the possible combinations. According to the selection procedure, a system was implemented with four neural networks DenseNet 201, VGG 19, MobileNet, and EfficientNet. The results obtained on two different databases (ISIC 2019 - for learning, validation, and testing - and PH2 for testing) were better than those obtained on individual networks or in other works from literature.

Flame detection algorithms are crucial for real-time fire monitoring using surveillance cameras. Current flame detection algorithms perform excellently on color cameras; however, many night vision cameras can only capture grayscale images, making flame detection less effective in such scenarios. Traditional flame detection algorithms rely heavily on color features, especially the red and yellow hues of flames. Conversely, grayscale images lack color information, making these algorithms ineffective. To address this limitation, we propose a novel flame detection algorithm that integrates the DeOldify model with the you only look once(YOLOv8) model. DeOldify can effectively add color to grayscale images. YOLOv8 is a powerful object detection model that excels in identifying various objects within an image. This algorithm leverages DeOldify's colorization capabilities and YOLOv8's powerful object detection abilities to enhance flame detection accuracy in grayscale images. This algorithm has been tested multiple times on public datasets, converting original images to grayscale and then colorizing them to construct the dataset. The results show that, compared to grayscale images, this algorithm improves the mean average precision (mAP@0.5) by 19.7% on different validation sets, by 4% on different training sets, and by 12.9% on grayscale images captured by night vision cameras. By comparing the training results of models such as YOLOv8n and YOLOv8s, the colorized images improve the model's performance. This demonstrates the high generalizability of this algorithm.
A popular technique used to obtain linear representations of nonlinear systems is the so-called Koopman approach, where the nonlinear dynamics are lifted to a (possibly infinite dimensional) linear space through nonli...

Predicting the quality perception of an individual subject instead of the mean opinion score is a new and very promising research direction. Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are suitable for such prediction but the training process is particularly data demanding due to the noisy nature of individual opinion scores. We propose a human-in-the-loop training process using multiple cycles of a human voting, DNN training, and inference procedure. Thus, opinion scores on individualized sets of images were progressively collected from each observer to refine the performance of their DNN. The results of computational experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach. For future research and benchmarking, five DNNs trained to mimic five observers are released together with a dataset containing the 1500 opinion scores progressively gathered from each of these observers during our training cycles.
We study concentration inequalities in gossip opinion dynamics over random graphs. In the model, a network is generated from a random graph model with independent edges, and agents interact pairwise randomly over the ...

Tool condition monitoring is vital for enhancing productivity, reducing costs, and improving product quality in manufacturing industries. Existing approaches, such as threshold-based methods, sensor-based methods, and machine learning-based techniques, have limitations in terms of accuracy, adaptability, interpretability, and computational costs. This research proposes a tool condition monitoring system based on the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) algorithm and the Hebbian learning algorithm. The system is implemented on a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) platform for real-time processing in manufacturing environments. A dataset is acquired using sensors, pre-processed, and divided into training and testing sets. The SOM-Hebb classifier is designed with appropriate parameters, and the tool condition monitoring algorithm involves projection histograms, discrete Fourier transform (DFT), and the SOM-Hebb classifier. The FPGA implementation achieves high-speed processing and meets timing constraints. Simulation results demonstrate the system's functionality and accuracy, with a classification accuracy of 99.22%. The system exhibits a processing time of 35 clock cycles. This research provides a promising approach for efficient and accurate tool condition monitoring in manufacturing industries.
