A Social Network Image Classification Algorithm Based on Multimodal Deep Learning

The complex data structure and massive image data of social networks pose a huge challenge to the mining of associations between social information. For accurate classification of social network images, this paper proposes a social network image classification algorithm based on multimodal deep learning. Firstly, a social network association clustering model (SNACM) was established, and used to calculate trust and similarity, which represent the degree of similarity between users. Based on artificial ant colony algorithm, the SNACM was subject to weighted stacking, and the social network image association network was constructed. After that, the social network images of three modes, i.e. RGB (red-green-blue) image, grayscale image, and depth image, were fused. Finally, a three-dimensional neural network (3D NN) was constructed to extract the features of the multimodal social network image. The proposed algorithm was proved valid and accurate through experiments. The research results provide a reference for applying multimodal deep learning to classify the images in other fields

A Prediction Model for Ultra-Short-Term Output Power of Wind Farms Based on Deep Learning

The output power prediction of wind farm is the key to effective utilization of wind energy and reduction of wind curtailment. However, the prediction of output power has long been a difficulty faced by both academia and the wind power industry, due to the high stochasticity of wind energy. This paper attempts to improve the ultra-short-term prediction accuracy of output power in wind farm. For this purpose, an output power prediction model was constructed for wind farm based on the time sliding window (TSW) and long short-term memory (LSTM) network. Firstly, the wind power data from multiple sources were fused, and cleaned through operations like dimension reduction and standardization. Then, the cyclic features of the actual output powers were extracted, and used to construct the input dataset by the TSW algorithm. On this basis, the TSW-LSTM prediction model was established to predict the output power of wind farm in ultra-short-term. Next, two regression evaluation metrics were designed to evaluate the prediction accuracy. Finally, the proposed TSW-LSTM model was compared with four other models through experiments on the dataset from an actual wind farm. Our model achieved a super-high prediction accuracy 92.7% as measured by d_MAE, an evidence of its effectiveness. To sum up, this research simplifies the complex prediction features, unifies the evaluation metrics, and provides an accurate prediction model for output power of wind farm with strong generalization ability
