Various physical information can be leaked while the encryption algorithm is running in the device. Side-channel analysis exploits these leakages to recover keys. Due to the sensitivity of deep learning to the data features, the efficiency and accuracy of side channel analysis are effectively improved with the application of deep learning algorithms. However, a considerable part of existing reserches are based on traditional neural networks. The effectiveness of key recovery is improved by increasing the size of the network. However, the computational complexity of the algorithm increases accordingly. Problems such as overfitting, low training efficiency, and low feature extraction ability also occur. In this paper, we construct an improved lightweight convolutional neural network based on the feature fusion network. The new network and the traditional neural networks are respectively applied to the side-channel analysis for comparative experiments. The results show that the new network has faster convergence, better robustness and higher accuracy. No overfitting has occurred. A heatmap visualization method was introduced for analysis. The new network has higher heat value and more concentration in the key interval. Side-channel analysis based on feature fusion network has better performance, compared with the ones based on traditional neural networks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With the development of recent years, the field of deep learning has made great progress. Compared with the traditional machine learning algorithm, deep learning can better find the rules in the data and achieve better fitting effect. In this paper, we propose a hybrid stock forecasting model based on Feature Selection, Convolutional Neural Network and Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (FS-CNN-BGRU). Feature Selection (FS) can select the data with better performance for the results as the input data after data normalization. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is responsible for feature extraction. It can extract the local features of the data, pay attention to more local information, and reduce the amount of calculation. The Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (BGRU) can process the data with time series, so that it can have better performance for the data with time series attributes. In the experiment, we used single CNN, LSTM and GRU models and mixed models CNN-LSTM, CNN-GRU and FS-CNN-BGRU (the model used in this manuscript). The results show that the performance of the hybrid model (FS-CNN-BGRU) is better than other single models, which has a certain reference value. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

When approaching thyroid gland tumor classification, the differentiation between samples with and without "papillary thyroid carcinoma-like" nuclei is a daunting task with high inter-observer variability among pathologists. Thus, there is increasing interest in the use of machine learning approaches to provide pathologists real-time decision support. In this paper, we optimize and quantitatively compare two automated machine learning methods for thyroid gland tumor classification on two datasets to assist pathologists in decision-making regarding these methods and their parameters. The first method is a feature-based classification originating from common image processing and consists of cell nucleus segmentation, feature extraction, and subsequent thyroid gland tumor classification utilizing different classifiers. The second method is a deep learning-based classification which directly classifies the input images with a convolutional neural network without the need for cell nucleus segmentation. On the Tharun and Thompson dataset, the feature-based classification achieves an accuracy of 89.7% (Cohen's Kappa 0.79), compared to the deep learning-based classification of 89.1% (Cohen's Kappa 0.78). On the Nikiforov dataset, the feature-based classification achieves an accuracy of 83.5% (Cohen's Kappa 0.46) compared to the deep learning-based classification 77.4% (Cohen's Kappa 0.35). Thus, both automated thyroid tumor classification methods can reach the classification level of an expert pathologist. To our knowledge, this is the first study comparing feature-based and deep learning-based classification regarding their ability to classify samples with and without papillary thyroid carcinoma-like nuclei on two large-scale datasets.
