The early screening and diagnosis of tuberculosis plays an important role in the control and treatment of tuberculosis infections. In this paper, an integrated computer-aided system based on deep learning is proposed for the detection of multiple categories of tuberculosis lesions in chest radiographs. In this system, the fully convolutional neural network method is used to segment the lung area from the entire chest radiograph for pulmonary tuberculosis detection. Different from the previous analysis of the whole chest radiograph, we focus on the specific tuberculosis lesion areas for the analysis and propose the first multicategory tuberculosis lesion detection method. In it, a learning scalable pyramid structure is introduced into the Faster Region-based Convolutional Network (Faster RCNN), which effectively improves the detection of small-area lesions, mines indistinguishable samples during the training process, and uses reinforcement learning to reduce the detection of false-positive lesions. To compare our method with the current tuberculosis detection system, we propose a classification rule for whole chest X-rays using a multicategory tuberculosis lesion detection model and achieve good performance on two public datasets (Montgomery: AUC = 0.977 and accuracy = 0.926; Shenzhen: AUC = 0.941 and accuracy = 0.902). Our proposed computer-aided system is superior to current systems that can be used to assist radiologists in diagnoses and public health providers in screening for tuberculosis in areas where tuberculosis is endemic.

Most of previous video recording devices in mobile vehicles commonly store captured video contents locally. With the rapid development of 4G/Wi Fi networks, there emerges a new trend to equip video recording devices with wireless interfaces to enable video uploading to the cloud for video playback in a later time point. In this paper, we propose a QoE-aware mobile cloud video recording scheme in the roadside vehicular networks, which can adaptively select the proper wireless interface and video bitrate for video uploading to the cloud. To maximize the total utility, we need to design a control strategy to carefully balance the transmission cost and the achieved QoE for users. To this purpose, we investigate the tradeoff between cost incurred by uploading through cellular networks and the achieved QoE of users. We apply the optimization framework to solve the formulated problem and design an online scheduling algorithm. We also conduct extensive trace-driven simulations and our results show that our algorithm achieves a good balance between the transmission cost and user QoE.

Lacking of appropriate learning facilities, the traditional approach to learn high-performance computing (HPC) is commonly theory-oriented without sufficient hands-on programming experiences. To improve the hands-on experiences of HPC learners, we design and implement a flexible and adaptive online HPC learning platform in this paper, called EasyHPC. This platform contains various online course modules such as quiz bank, interactive community, and virtual laboratory. In our system, various HPC theoretical and experimental learning activities can be conducted online, such as assigning HPC parallel programming tasks, and creating HPC questions and collecting students' submissions. It is convenient for students to study HPC-related courses in our platform, submit course assignments, exchange ideas, and complete HPC programming tasks. Our preliminary learning trials have shown that our system can effectively improve the hands-on experience of our students by providing an integrated HPC learning and programming environment. Our students are able to achieve various HPC capstone projects in our platform to develop their system capability.

Large Web applications usually require replicating data across geo-distributed datacenters to achieve high locality, durability and availability. However, maintaining strong consistency in geo-replicated systems usually suffers from long latency due to costly coordination across datacenters. Among others, transaction chopping is an effective and efficient approach to cope with such a challenge. In this paper, we propose DTC (Dynamic Transaction Chopping), a novel technique that chops transactions and checks their conflicts in a dynamic and automatic way, during application execution. DTC mainly consists of two parts: a dynamic chopper that chops transaction dynamically according to data partition scheme, and a conflict detection algorithm for determining the safety of the dynamic chopping. Compared with existing transaction chopping technique for geo-replicated systems, DTC has several advantages, including transparency to programmers, flexibility in conflict analysis, high degree of piecewise execution, and adaptability to dynamic partition schemes. We implement our DTC technique and conduct experiments to examine the correctness of DTC and evaluate its performance. The experiment results show that our DTC technique can achieve much more piecewise execution than the existing chopping approach does, and reduce execution time obviously.
