More time-effective and wider adverse drug reactions are concealed in tweets related to feelings of taking medication. However, it is difficult to extract adverse drug reaction (ADR) from these tweets due to relatively shortness and sparseness of tweets. Therefore, a neural network model is proposed in this paper, which employes the pretrained bidirectional language model and attention mechanism to identify ADR. Firstly, specific character-level features are extracted via a pretrained bidirectional character-level neural language model. Secondly, the attention mechanism is used to capture local and global semantic contexts while extracting ADRs. Thirdly, to improve the efficiency of the proposed method, Character-level features are combined with word-level features. Finally, co-training is replaced with the pretrained of the whole-word level and fine-tuned pretrained character embeddings. These optimizations contribute to improving the performance of identification. The proposed model achieves better performance on the PSB 2016 Social Media Mining Sharing Task Workshop-Task 2: ADR Extraction, obtaining the F1-scores of 82.2% on official datasets. Character features are useful for distinguishing ADR and non-ADR in morphology. In addition, attention mechanism improves the performance of identifying ADR due to capturing local and global semantic contexts.

High-resolution remote sensing image classification is a current research hotspot. The high-resolution remote sensing image classification model (Deeplab) based on deep convolutional networks and fully connected conditional random fields is widely used in this field because of its efficient and accurate classification performance. The Deeplab model has the problem of insufficient information utilization of high-resolution remote sensing images by hole convolution, which limits the further improvement of classification accuracy. In view of this, this paper proposes a new high-resolution remote sensing image classification model (Dspp). The Dspp model adopts a dense convolution network connection structure, and replaces Deeplab′s hollow convolution pyramid structure with a dense connection structure to improve information utilization and enhance the generalization ability of the model. Compared with the FCN model, the FCN-8S model and the Deeplab model, the overall accuracy of the Dspp model has improved by 16.8%, 11.7%, and 7.7%, which verifies the effectiveness of the model.

To slove the problem that the face detection frame is difficult to learn, and the problems that complex process has high coupling and error accumulation serious in two-step series model, a fusion algorithm of face detection and head pose estimation based on YOLOv3 model is proposed. By using the K-means clustering method to cluster the size of the face area of the training dataset, 9 sets of results are obtained to simulate the size and scale of face areas under real conditions.

Emotion recognition based on gait features is considered to have a wide range of applications in emotion computing, psychotherapy, robotics, surveillance and audience understanding. Existing methods show that combining the context information such as gesture position can significantly improve the performance of emotion recognition, and spatiotemporal information can significantly improve the accuracy of emotion recognition. However, the emotional information in gait can not be fully expressed only by using bone spatial information. In order to make good use of the gait features, an adaptive fusion method is proposed in this paper, which combines the spatiotemporal information of the skeleton with the rotation angle of the skeleton, and improves the emotion recognition accuracy of the existing models. The model uses the Autoencoder to learn the bone rotation information of human walking, uses the spatio-temporal convolution neural network to extract the spatio-temporal information of bone points, inputs the bone rotation information and spatio-temporal information into the adaptive fusion network, and obtains the final feature for classification. The model is tested on the Emotion-gait data set, and the experimental results show that the AP values of sadness, anger and neutral emotion have increased by 5, 8 and 5 percentage point respectively compared with the latest HAP method, and the average map value of the overall classification has increased by 5 percentage point.

In recent years, deep learning provides a new method for predicting the remaining useful life of bearings. In practice, due to the small number of bearing degradation data and the large difference in the distribution of bearing data under different working conditions, it is hard to realize that the remaining useful life prediction model trained on one bearing, which can be used for other bearings remaining useful life prediction under the same or different working conditions. In order to deal with the aforementioned shortcomings, a joint distribution adaptation based on cross domain mean approximation for bearing remaining useful life prediction method is proposed. Firstly, the original vibration signal data of the bearing is normalized. Then the source domain and target domain data are projected to a corresponding lowdimensional common feature subspace by projection matrix. In the subspace, a joint distribution adaptation based on cross domain mean approximation method is used to perform domain adaptation for source and target data. Finally, the gated recurrent unit is used for the bearing remaining useful life prediction. The validity of the proposed method is demonstrated by experiments on IEEE PHM Challenge 2012 dataset. The results show that the proposed method has good prediction accuracy under the same working condition or different working conditions for different bearings.

Compared with traditional sequence modeling in session-based recommendation, modeling the session sequence as a graph structure performs better in this field. However, the existing research methods are limited in their ability to capture user’s current interest by only using the graph structure to mine the session characteristics between items. A current interest reinforced Graph neural network for session-based recommendation is proposed in the paper. By introducing position embedding and combining with graph neural network, the advantages of sequential perception model and graph perception model are complemented. The session sequence is modeled as a graph structure. Take the last click of the original sequence, and calculate its attention weight for graph node information through the multi-head attention mechanism, so as to obtain user’s current interest expression more accurately. Extensive experiments on two real-world datasets show that, the proposed method achieved the best performance of all methods, especially on the Diginetica data set, all evaluation indicators have increased by more than 7%, and the MRR@10 indicator has even increased by 9.52%. These results show the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed method for session-based recommendation.

Web traffic prediction has always been a hot issue in data center networks, which is of great significance for improving the quality of network services. Due to the complex characteristics of web traffic such as non-linearity, autocorrelation, and periodicity, it is very challenging to accurately predict it. In order to fully mine the predictable information of web traffic and make the prediction model fully interpretable and configurable, this paper proposes a combined prediction model based on Prophet and deep autoregression (DeepAR). Among them, Prophet is an additive model based on time series decomposition, which models the trend, seasonal period, and holiday information of Web traffic. At the same time, the autoregressive information implied by the Prophet residual is modeled using the DeepAR model based on probability prediction, and the long-term and short-term dependencies are captured to reduce the variance of the Prophet residual and fully capture the autoregressive information of web traffic. In this paper, the verification experiments are carried out on the real Web traffic dataset, and the results show that the evaluation indicators of RMSE and MAE are better than the comparative models, which verifies the effectiveness of the combined model.

Automatic Machine Learning (AutoML) is an important issue at the forefront of machine learning. Automatic machine learning tools compose machine learning primitives to construct pipelines based on datasets and task requirements, so that domain users can complete corresponding data analysis work without professional machine learning knowledge. However, current automatic machine learning tools generally suffer from the problems of long-time consumption and low precision. A data-driven method for automatic machine learning pipeline generation based on the principles of dataset similarity and reinforcement learning is proposed in this paper. This method uses the historical knowledge of similar datasets to guide the generation of machine learning pipelines. The experimental results show that the time-consumption of the method proposed in this paper is shortened to the minute level, and the pipeline performance is also improved.

The existence of no more than 1/3 of the total number of Byzantine nodes in the network can be tolerated by Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT) consensus algorithm. So PBFT consensus algorithm is often used as the consensus algorithm of the permissioned blockchains. However, the selection rule of the primary nodes is simple and the communication complexity is high in the PBFT consensus algorithm. A Byzantine fault tolerant consensus algorithm based on verifiable random function and BLS signature is proposed to improve PBFT consensus algorithm, which is called VBBFT consensus algorithm. In VBBFT consensus, Verifiable Random Functions is used to select primary nodes from the candidate set of consensus nodes. The master node is used as the coordinator of message collection and sending. At the same time , the process of information interaction between nodes is transformed into the process of BLS signature. This way can reduce the communication complexity and ensures the security of information interaction between nodes. The multi-node simulation results show that compared with Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus algorithm, the transaction throughput has increased by 62.3% and reduced the delay by 12% in VBBFT consensus algorithm.

In the cloud data storage system with multiple storage nodes, how to keep the load balance level of the cloud storage system to a reasonable value and minimize the time of data retrieval is a problem worth studying. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a balanced placement strategy of cloud data based on particle swarm optimization algorithm (BPCD). Firstly, a cloud storage system model is presented. Secondly, the Gini coefficient is introduced as the index to measure the load balancing level of the system, and a multi-objective constrained optimization model is constructed by combining the objective function of data retrieval time. Thirdly, the particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to solve the problem, which mainly includes four processes: data node coding and parameter setting, population initialization, particle swarm spatial search and algorithm iteration. Finally, the proposed algorithm is compared with the traditional cloud data placement algorithm. Simulation experiments show that the proposed cloud data balanced placement strategy has good effects in optimizing the load level and data retrieval time of the cloud storage system.
