A Particle Swarm Optimization-based Flexible Convolutional Auto-Encoder for Image Classification
Convolutional auto-encoders have shown their remarkable performance in
stacking to deep convolutional neural networks for classifying image data
during past several years. However, they are unable to construct the
state-of-the-art convolutional neural networks due to their intrinsic
architectures. In this regard, we propose a flexible convolutional auto-encoder
by eliminating the constraints on the numbers of convolutional layers and
pooling layers from the traditional convolutional auto-encoder. We also design
an architecture discovery method by using particle swarm optimization, which is
capable of automatically searching for the optimal architectures of the
proposed flexible convolutional auto-encoder with much less computational
resource and without any manual intervention. We use the designed architecture
optimization algorithm to test the proposed flexible convolutional auto-encoder
through utilizing one graphic processing unit card on four extensively used
image classification datasets. Experimental results show that our work in this
paper significantly outperform the peer competitors including the
state-of-the-art algorithm.Comment: Accepted by IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning

A Novel Hybrid CNN Denoising Technique (HDCNN) for Image Denoising with Improved Performance
Photo denoising has been tackled by deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with powerful learning capabilities. Unfortunately, some CNNs perform badly on complex displays because they only train one deep network for their image blurring models. We recommend a hybrid CNN denoising technique (HDCNN) to address this problem. An HDCNN consists of a dilated interfere with, a RepVGG block, an attribute sharpening interferes with, as well as one inversion. To gather more context data, DB incorporates a stretched convolution, data sequential normalization (BN), shared convergence, and the activating function called the ReLU. Convolution, BN, and reLU are combined in parallel by RVB to obtain complimentary width characteristics. The RVB's refining characteristics are used to refine FB, which is then utilized to collect more precise data. To create a crisp image, a single convolution works in conjunction with a residual learning process. These crucial elements enable the HDCNN to carry out visual denoising efficiently. The suggested HDCNN has a good denoising performance in open data sets, according to experiments
