Quantum-cloud computing based policy computing for IoT via FL & big model

Abstract

Based on quantum-cloud computing, we establish a big model system for IoT to conduct policy computing via blockchained federated learning (FL), which appears or will appear in 5G or 6G supported IoV, etc. The design and analysis of an optimal policy computing algorithm for smart contracts within the blockchain will be the focus. Inside the system, each order associated with a demand may simultaneously require multiple service items from different suppliers and the corresponding arrival rate may depend on blockchain history data represented by a long-range dependent stochastic process. The optimality of the computed dynamic policy on maximizing the expected infinite-horizon discounted profit is proved concerning both demand and supply rate controls with dynamic pricing and sequential packaging scheduling in an integrated fashion. Our policy is a pathwise oriented one and can be easily implemented online. The effectiveness of our optimal policy is supported by simulation comparisons.

Overview of Radiomics Techniques Based on Transfer Learning

Abstract

Radiomics is a technique that utilizes AI technology to transform medical images into exploitable data, extracting quantitative tumor image features to facilitate clinical decision-making. Currently, radiomics data is characterized by small sample sizes, and applying deep learning methods may lead to issues such as overfitting. To address these challenges, we have conducted research in the field of transfer learning, specifically in the areas of natural images, pathological images, and probabilistic distribution adaptation for multi-source transfer. By transferring knowledge from various source domains to the target domain tasks, we aim to enhance the diagnostic performance of radiomics models on small sample data. Additionally, to tackle the problem of data silos, we have explored federated learning, a strategy where multiple institutions collaborate by sharing only model parameters rather than data, to train a global model and improve its diagnostic performance. Furthermore, to enhance the interpretability of deep learning methods in the field of medical imaging, we have employed various visualization techniques, combining medical expertise with image analysis to provide clinical explanations for discriminative regions, uncover clinically meaningful radiomics features, and improve the accuracy of computer-aided diagnosis.

IOT based Sensors and Protocols in SMART CITY APPLICATIONS

Abstract

Sensor technology has benefited people's daily lives in practically every domain where they have been used. Sensors are tiny low computing devices which sense and gather signals from the source and then develop the solution correspondingly. There are a variety of sources that can be employed, comprising light, temperature, motion and pressure among others. Intelligent sensor techniques are used in a broad array of uses in lifestyle, medical, fitness, production, and everyday life. Sensors are an important component of IoT (Internet of Things) growth as these are not the typical kinds that translate physical parameters into electronic signals. To serve a technically and commercially feasible role in the IoT context the sensor devices have to expand into something highly robust. The smart city applications make use of different sensors and protocols to provide different services.

DISTRIBUTED DEEP LEARNING: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES

Abstract

The software organizations have been anticipating a new trend of distributed software development in recent years. When processing units or entities are dispersed throughout computer networks and connected, distributed software systems are crucial. The development of computer hardware systems has significantly increased the efficiency of computer systems. A subtype of machine learning called distributed deep learning includes simultaneously training deep neural networks on a number of different devices. Distributed deep learning is a type of machine learning in which deep neural networks are taught concurrently across several machines. Deep classical learning can be difficult and computationally taxing to implement on a single machine. By spreading out the work among numerous computers, training times can be significantly reduced, allowing for rapid model creation and experimentation. The popularity of distributed deep learning has increased recently as a result of the growth of big data and the need to quickly analyze enormous volumes of data.Deep learning approaches are desperately needed to deal with the issue of managing vast resources in distributed systems. Machine learning (ML) offers a method for resolving crucial issues with distributed computing. Deep learning applies a number of processing components or agents to each distributed system resource. The fundamental method for deep learning is data parallelism. The main concerns when implementing machine learning and deep learning techniques are data security and privacy. Cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform offer distributed deep learning services, allowing academics and data scientists to use distributed computing for their deep learning workloads. In this keynote talk, an overview about the opportunities HPC can provide to enhance Deep Learning research will be given. In particular, distribution strategies for the training of Deep Neural Networks and challenges one faces when trying to implement them is discussed. Finally, an outline of how we tackle these challenges within our distributed Deep Learning framework will be discussed.
