Chinese Semantic Role Labeling (SRL) is the core technology of semantic understanding. In the field of Chinese information processing, where statistical machine learning is still the mainstream, the traditional labeling methods rely heavily on the parsing degree of syntax and semantics of sentences. Therefore, the labeling precision is limited and cannot meet the current needs. This paper adopts the model based on a bidirectional long short-term memory network combined with the Conditional Random Field (Bi-LSTM-CRF). In the feature processing stage, pooling technology is combined with sampling and selecting multifeature vector groups to improve the performance of the sequence labeling model. Lexical, syntactic, and other multilevel linguistic features are integrated into the training to realize in-depth improvement of the original labeling model. Through several groups of experiments, the precision of model annotation in this paper has been significantly improved combined with linguistic-assisted analysis, which proves that it can optimize the annotation performance of the model by integrating relevant linguistic features into the model based on Bi-LSTM-CRF and sampling and extracting multifeature groups; the evaluation of F increases to 82.18 percent.

The extreme learning machine (ELM), which was originally proposed for “generalized” single-hidden layer feedforward neural networks, provides efficient unified learning solutions for the applications of regression and classification. Although, it provides promising performance and robustness and has been used for various applications, the single-layer architecture possibly lacks the effectiveness when applied for natural signals. In order to over come this shortcoming, the following work indicates a new architecture based on multilayer network framework. The significant contribution of this paper are as follows: 1) unlike existing multilayer ELM, in which hidden nodes are obtained randomly, in this paper all hidden layers with invertible functions are calculated by pulling the network output back and putting it into hidden layers. Thus, the feature learning is enriched by additional information, which results in better performance; 2) in contrast to the existing multilayer network methods, which are usually efficient for classification applications, the proposed architecture is implemented for dimension reduction and image reconstruction; and 3) unlike other iterative learning-based deep networks (DL), the hidden layers of the proposed method are obtained via four steps. Therefore, it has much better learning efficiency than DL. Experimental results on 33 datasets indicate that, in comparison to the other existing dimension reduction techniques, the proposed method performs competitively better with fast training speeds.

The explosive growth and widespread accessibility of digital health data have led to a surge of research activity in the healthcare and data sciences fields. The conventional approaches for health data management have achieved limited success as they are incapable of handling the huge amount of complex data with high volume, high velocity, and high variety. This article presents a comprehensive overview of the existing challenges, techniques, and future directions for computational health informatics in the big data age, with a structured analysis of the historical and state-of-the-art methods. We have summarized the challenges into four Vs (i.e., volume, velocity, variety, and veracity) and proposed a systematic data-processing pipeline for generic big data in health informatics, covering data capturing, storing, sharing, analyzing, searching, and decision support. Specifically, numerous techniques and algorithms in machine learning are categorized and compared. On the basis of this material, we identify and discuss the essential prospects lying ahead for computational health informatics in this big data age. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Anomaly detection refers to the identification of cases that do not conform to the expected pattern, which takes a key role in diverse research areas and application domains. Most of existing methods can be summarized as anomaly object detection-based and reconstruction error-based techniques. However, due to the bottleneck of defining encompasses of real-world high-diversity outliers and inaccessible inference process, individually, most of them have not derived groundbreaking progress. To deal with those imperfectness, and motivated by memory-based decision-making and visual attention mechanism as a filter to select environmental information in human vision perceptual system, in this paper, we propose a Multi-scale Attention Memory with hash addressing Autoencoder network (MAMA Net) for anomaly detection. First, to overcome a battery of problems result from the restricted stationary receptive field of convolution operator, we coin the multi-scale global spatial attention block which can be straightforwardly plugged into any networks as sampling, upsampling and downsampling function. On account of its efficient features representation ability, networks can achieve competitive results with only several level blocks. Second, it’s observed that traditional autoencoder can only learn an ambiguous model that also reconstructs anomalies “well” due to lack of constraints in training and inference process. To mitigate this challenge, we design a hash addressing memory module that proves abnormalities to produce higher reconstruction error for classification. In addition, we couple the mean square error (MSE) with Wasserstein loss to improve the encoding data distribution. Experiments on various datasets, including two different COVID-19 datasets and one brain MRI (RIDER) dataset prove the robustness and excellent generalization of the proposed MAMA Net.

Machine learning algorithms such as those for object classification in images, video content analysis, and human action recognition are used to extract meaningful information from data recorded by image sensors and cameras. Among the existing machine learning algorithms for such purposes, extreme learning machines (ELMs) and online sequential ELMs (OS-ELMs) are well known for their computational efficiency and performance when processing large datasets. The latter approach was derived from the ELM approach and optimized for real-time application. However, OS-ELM classifiers are computationally demanding, and the existing state-of-the-art computing platforms are not efficient enough for embedded systems, especially for applications with strict requirements in terms of low power consumption, high throughput, and low latency. This paper presents the implementation of an ELM/OS-ELM in a customized system-on-a-chip field-programmable gate array-based architecture to ensure efficient hardware acceleration. The acceleration process comprises parallel extraction, deep pipelining, and efficient shared memory communication. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
