Comparison of K-Means, K-Medoids and K-Means++ algorithms based on the Calinski-Harabasz index for COVID-19 epidemic in China
Article thumbnail
The novel coronavirus spreads from person to person through close contact and respiratory droplets such as coughing or sneezing. Various studies have been conducted globally to deal with COVID-19. However, no cure for the virus has been found , and efficient data processing methods for sudden outbreaks have not yet been identified. This study compares three algorithms for data sets to analyze clustering patterns to determine the best data processing method. The data of this study comes from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, including two attributes of confirmed cases and death cases. We selected the data from the initial stage of the outbreak until October 31, 2021. We compared the data analysis and processing results of the clustering of the spread of the new coronavirus in China by the K-Means, K-Medoids and K-Means++ algorithms. By comparing the Calinski-Harabasz index values from K=2 to K=10, the results show that the K-Means, K-Medoids and K-Means++ algorithms have almost the same clustering effect when K does not exceed 6, but when the K value is greater than 6. When the K-Medoids clustering effect is significantly better, therefore, from the three clustering algorithms used, it can be concluded that the best method for clustering the spread of the novel coronavirus outbreak in China is the K-Medoids method. The results of this study provides ideas for future researchers to choose an appropriate cluster analysis method to effectively process the data in the early stages of the epidemic.

Signal detection algorithms for massive MIMO system
Article thumbnail
As 5G communication networks are maturing, we have higher and higher requirements for the detection of communication signals. In this paper, for the Massive MIMO system signal detection problem, we mainly summarize the detection algorithms that can be used to replace the traditional ZF and MMSE, so as to avoid large-scale matrix inverse and reduce the computational complexity. It mainly includes the general iterative method, typically represented by SSOR, which makes the transmit signal matrix constantly close to the ideal value by iterating; the other is the level expansion class solution method, which takes the order expansion of the level as the initial value of the iteration to accelerate the convergence rate of the algorithm, typically represented by the MLI algorithm. However, today where the demand for communication is gradually increasing and the number of users is constantly getting larger, the performance of the above algorithms may degrade seriously, so the AI signal detection algorithm is a good alternative, which learns autonomously through deep neural networks, including model-driven and data-driven schemes.

GravNet: A novel deep learning model with nonlinear filter for gravitational wave detection
Article thumbnail
Gravitational waves (GW) detected by LIGO, VIRGO, and upcoming facilities have ushered in a transformative era for astronomy and physics. However, these cosmic ripples present unique challenges. Most GW signals are not only weak but also fleeting, lasting mere seconds. This poses a significant hurdle to current search strategies. The prevalent matched filtering technique, while effective, demands an exhaustive search through a template bank, slowing down data processing.To overcome these limitations, machine learning, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), has emerged as a solution. Recent studies demonstrate that CNNs surpass traditional matched-filtering methods in detecting weak GW signals, extending beyond the training set parameters. Nonetheless, optimizing these deep learning models and assessing their robustness in GW signal detection remains essential. In this study, we explore various methods to enhance CNN models’ effectiveness using simulated data from three gravitational wave interferometers. Our investigation spans denoising techniques, CNN architectures, and pretrained AI models. Notably, the Constant-Q transform (CQT) outperforms the Fast Fourier transform in denoising raw gravitational signals. Furthermore, employing the pretrained model EfficientNet enhances GW detection efficiency. Our proposed CNN model, GravNet, combines CQT, EfficientNet, and an optimized CNN structure. GravNet achieves an impressive 76.5% accuracy and 0.85 AUC. This innovative approach offers valuable insights into harnessing deep learning models for more efficient and accurate gravitational wave detection and analysis.

Federated learning algorithm-based skin cancer detection
Article thumbnail
Owing to the oversight regarding training data privacy within the realm of Deep Learning (DL), there have been inadvertent data leaks containing personal information, resulting in consequential impacts on data providers. Consequently, safeguarding data privacy throughout the deep learning process emerges as a paramount concern. In this paper, the author suggests the integration of FedAvg into the training procedure as a measure to ensure data security and privacy. In the experiments, the author first applied data augmentation to equalize the various samples in the dataset, then simulated four users using a Central Processing Unit (CPU) with four cores and established a network architecture starting with DenseNet201. Each user cloned all parameters of global model and received an equal portion of the dataset. After updating the parameters locally, the weights were aggregated by averaging and passed back to the global model. Additionally, the author introduced learning rate annealer to help the model converge better. The experimental results demonstrate that incorporating FedAvg indeed saves training time and achieves excellent performance in skin cancer classification. Despite a slight loss in accuracy, the algorithm can address privacy concerns, making the use of FedAvg highly valuable.
