Traffic flow forecasting is challenging for us to analyze intricate spatial–temporal dependencies and obtain incomplete information of spatial–temporal connection. Existing frameworks mostly construct spatial and temporal modeling based on a fixed graph structure and given time series. However, a fixed adjacency matrix is limited to learn effective spatial–temporal correlations of the network because it represents incomplete information for missing genuine relation. To solve the difficulty, we design a novel spatial–temporal adaptive fusion graph network (STFAGN) for traffic prediction. First, our model combines fusion convolution layers with a novel adaptive dependency matrix by end-to-end training to capture the hidden spatial-temporal dependency on the data to complete incomplete information. Second, STFAGN could, in parallel, acquire hidden spatial–temporal dependencies by a fusion operation and temporal trend by fast-DTW. Meanwhile, we use ReZero connection as a simple change of deep residual networks to facilitate deep signal propagation and faster converge. Lastly, we conduct comparative experiments on two public traffic network datasets, whose results demonstrate the superiority of our algorithm compared to state-of-the-art baseline types. Ablation experiments also prove the rationality of the framework of STFAGN. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In deep learning-based local stereo matching methods, larger image patches usually bring better stereo matching accuracy. However, it is unrealistic to increase the size of the image patch size without restriction. Arbitrarily extending the patch size will change the local stereo matching method into the global stereo matching method, and the matching accuracy will be saturated. We simplified the existing Siamese convolutional network by reducing the number of network parameters and propose an efficient CNN based structure, namely adaptive deconvolution-based disparity matching net (ADSM net) by adding deconvolution layers to learn how to enlarge the size of input feature map for the following convolution layers. Experimental results on the KITTI2012 and 2015 datasets demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve a good trade-off between accuracy and complexity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers the most detailed brain structure image available today; it can identify tiny lesions or cerebral cortical abnormalities. The primary purpose of the procedure is to confirm whether there is structural variation that causes epilepsy, such as hippocampal sclerotherapy, local cerebral cortical dysplasia, and cavernous hemangioma. Cerebrovascular disease, the second most common factor of death in the world, is also the fourth leading cause of death in Taiwan, with cerebrovascular disease having the highest rate of stroke. Among the most common are large vascular atherosclerotic lesions, small vascular lesions, and cardiac emboli. The purpose of this thesis is to establish a computer-aided diagnosis system based on small blood vessel lesions in MRI images, using the method of Convolutional Neural Network and deep learning to analyze brain vascular occlusion by analyzing brain MRI images. Blocks can help clinicians more quickly determine the probability and severity of stroke in patients. We analyzed MRI data from 50 patients, including 30 patients with stroke, 17 patients with occlusion but no stroke, and 3 patients with dementia. This system mainly helps doctors find out whether there are cerebral small vessel lesions in the brain MRI images, and to output the found results into labeled images. The marked contents include the position coordinates of the small blood vessel blockage, the block range, the area size, and if it may cause a stroke. Finally, all the MRI images of the patient are synthesized, showing a 3D display of the small blood vessels in the brain to assist the doctor in making a diagnosis or to provide accurate lesion location for the patient.
