The investigation of performance improvement based on original GANs model
Article thumbnail
The rapid advancement of technology has led individuals to place an increasing amount of reliance on using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to deal with laborious responsibilities. Generative adversarial networks (GANs) . This study will investigate possible approaches to enhance the performance of GANs models during training. Additionally, a Generator and a Discriminator are formed and coupled together. Their respective learning rates are adjusted to 0.0002, and epochs are set to 400, the batch number set to 128 for the duration of the experiment. In the final step, the simple GANs model is reimplemented by combining all of the components discussed thus far. The primary approach to the experiments revolved around tuning different parameters in the models, changing the original loss function, and then observing the training process of each model. The first is to increase the number of training cycles to 1000 epochs without modifying the model structure to better observe training. Second, this study raised the epochs to 5000, modify the batch number to 512, and assess the model’s performance at three learning rates: 0.0001, 0.0002, and 0.0003. Finally, generator learning rate is set to 0.0007, discriminator to 0.0003, and original model’s Binary cross-entropy loss function is changed to Wasserstein function. After three experiments, conclusions are formed. Changing the initial function to Wasserstein Earth Mover distance and increasing the discriminator and generator learning rates to 0.0003 and 0.0007 improves GANs best. These adjustments cause the GANs model’s two Losses to slowly reduce began to stabilize toward 0 at 2000 epochs.

Federated learning-based YOLOv8 for face detection
Article thumbnail
Recognizing the paramount importance of face detection in the realm of computer vision, there is an urgent need to address the vital concern of protecting individuals' privacy. Face detection inherently involves the handling of extremely sensitive personal information. To tackle this challenge, this study puts forth a proposal to incorporate Federated Learning into the face detection model. The objective is to maintain data localization and enhance security throughout the experiments by harnessing the decentralized nature of collaborative learning. The experimental procedure for Federated learning in face recognition models encompasses several key steps: device selection, global model initialization, model distribution to devices, local training, local model updates, model aggregation, global model updates, and multiple iterations. This methodology enables the collective training of models by dispersed devices, hence enhancing recognition performance, all the while ensuring the preservation of user data privacy. In addition, it is imperative to integrate Federated learning with YOLOv8 in order to establish a distributed target detection system. This method entails numerous devices engaging in local YOLOv8 model training, hence safeguarding data privacy and minimising data transmission. The empirical findings indicate that the use of joint learning in the face detection model leads to successful identification of the face model. In the future, there will be a consideration of novel federated learning algorithms with the aim of enhancing privacy.

Tackling the cold start issue in movie recommendations with a refined epsilon-greedy approach
Article thumbnail
With the rapid growth of the Internet and the consequent surge in data, the current era is characterized by information overload. As the domain of data processing and storage expands, recommendation systems have become pivotal tools in navigating this deluge, assisting users in filtering through vast information landscapes. A notable segment of this is movie recommendation systems. As living standards rise, so does the demand for cinematic experiences. Enhancing and refining the methodologies of these recommendation systems is, therefore, of significant value. However, a consistent challenge is the ‘cold start’ problem encountered when new users join. Without prior viewing records or preferences, these users pose a dilemma for the system: how to offer relevant recommendations without historical data? Addressing this challenge, this paper proposes a unique method grounded in the N-armed bandit model, introducing an enhanced Epsilon-greedy algorithm specifically designed for movie recommendations for such users. By adjusting dynamically based on real-time user feedback, the algorithm aims to continuously hone its recommendation quality, ensuring a consistently better user experience.

Application, investigation and prediction of ChatGpt/GPT-4 for clinical cases in medical field
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and medical treatment not only makes the clinical diagnosis more accurate, but also makes the patient's rehabilitation more systematic and professional, especially after the advent of the Large Language Model(LLM) in the past 2 years. This paper discusses 3 clinical cases of 2 kinds of LLMs: ChatGPT (GPT-3.5) and GPT-4 in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R), and shows their powerful analytical reasoning ability. In the first experiment, ChatGPT and the leading professional doctors in the industry were asked to classify the emergency records of ophthalmology during the 10-year period, infer the severity of each patient's illness and determine the nursing requirements. In the later experiment, GPT-4, an upgraded version of GPT-3.5, delayed the diagnosis of medical history data of patients aged 65 and over, to study the clinical diagnosis opinions and systematic treatment scheme of GPT-4 as a "professional doctor". ChatGPT and GPT-4 participated in the examination with 12 categories of neurosurgery medical fields, which was shown in the last experiment, aiming at studying their medical professional level and discussing their clinical reliability and effectiveness, as well as LLMs' ability of reasoning questions step by step. The experimental results show that these 2 kinds of large language models have professional and powerful ability to analyze actual projects, and their performance even far exceeds that of professional clinicians. At the same time, the existing defects of the models and their more applications in the medical field in the future are prospected.
