With serverless computing offering more efficient and cost-effective application deployment, the diversity of serverless platforms presents challenges to users, including platform lock-in and costly migration. Moreover, due to the black box nature of function computing, traditional performance benchmarking methods are not applicable, necessitating new studies. This article presents a detailed comparison of six major public cloud function computing platforms and introduces a benchmarking framework for function computing performance. This framework aims to help users make comprehensive comparisons and select the most suitable platform for their specific needs.

The feasibility of age estimation is explored using the ultrasound tongue image of the speakers. Motivated by the success of deep learning, a deep convolutional neural network model is trained on the UltraSuite dataset. The deep model achieves mean absolute error (MAE) of 2.03 years for the data from typically developing children, while MAE is 4.87 for the data from the children with speech sound disorders, which suggest that age estimation using ultrasound is more challenging for the children with speech sound disorder. Also, we explore to visualize what does the deep model learn for the age estimation task. We firstly visualize the convolutional layers in the learned convolutional neural networks. We observe that the deep model not only focuses on the contour in the ultrasound tongue image, but also pays more attention to the regions corresponding to the tendon and tongue root regions, which may provide guidance for future ultrasound tongue imaging interpretation tasks. The developed method can be used a tool to evaluate the performance of speech therapy sessions.

Experiments on transcription analysis have resulted huge genes expression data related with specific temporal and spatial information. These data can be used in new genes identification, analysis of genes express patterns and the annotation of genomes, which may provide the reference standard for experiment design and result analysis of transcription experiments. Since the alternative splicing of eukaryotic genes have found to be universal and play an important role in physiology and pathology, systematic analysis of alternative splicing is becoming a new hotspot of functional genome research. Facing the immense and exponential increase of experimental express data and more new genomes getting sequenced, there is exigent of the strategy which can handle transcription sequences in large scale and automatic way. We elucidate the algorithms, the computing requirements and programs in different transcription sequences analysis systems and propose a strategy more suitable for large scale analysis of alternative splicing.
