Exploring Multimodal Sentiment Analysis via CBAM Attention and Double-layer BiLSTM Architecture

Because multimodal data contains more modal information, multimodal sentiment analysis has become a recent research hotspot. However, redundant information is easily involved in feature fusion after feature extraction, which has a certain impact on the feature representation after fusion. Therefore, in this papaer, we propose a new multimodal sentiment analysis model. In our model, we use BERT + BiLSTM as new feature extractor to capture the long-distance dependencies in sentences and consider the position information of input sequences to obtain richer text features. To remove redundant information and make the network pay more attention to the correlation between image and text features, CNN and CBAM attention are added after splicing text features and picture features, to improve the feature representation ability. On the MVSA-single dataset and HFM dataset, compared with the baseline model, the ACC of our model is improved by 1.78% and 1.91%, and the F1 value is enhanced by 3.09% and 2.0%, respectively. The experimental results show that our model achieves a sound effect, similar to the advanced model.

Exploring Turkish Speech Recognition via Hybrid CTC/Attention Architecture and Multi-feature Fusion Network

In recent years, End-to-End speech recognition technology based on deep learning has developed rapidly. Due to the lack of Turkish speech data, the performance of Turkish speech recognition system is poor. Firstly, this paper studies a series of speech recognition tuning technologies. The results show that the performance of the model is the best when the data enhancement technology combining speed perturbation with noise addition is adopted and the beam search width is set to 16. Secondly, to maximize the use of effective feature information and improve the accuracy of feature extraction, this paper proposes a new feature extractor LSPC. LSPC and LiGRU network are combined to form a shared encoder structure, and model compression is realized. The results show that the performance of LSPC is better than MSPC and VGGnet when only using Fbank features, and the WER is improved by 1.01% and 2.53% respectively. Finally, based on the above two points, a new multi-feature fusion network is proposed as the main structure of the encoder. The results show that the WER of the proposed feature fusion network based on LSPC is improved by 0.82% and 1.94% again compared with the single feature (Fbank feature and Spectrogram feature) extraction using LSPC. Our model achieves performance comparable to that of advanced End-to-End models.

Multi-view learning with privileged weighted twin support vector machine

Weighted twin support vector machines (WLTSVM) mines as much potential similarity information in samples as possible to improve the common short-coming of non-parallel plane classifiers. Compared with twin support vector machines (TWSVM), it reduces the time complexity by deleting the superfluous constraints using the inter-class K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN). Multi-view learning (MVL) is a newly developing direction of machine learning, which focuses on learning acquiring information from the data indicated by multiple feature sets. In this paper, we propose multi-view learning with privileged weighted twin support vector machines (MPWTSVM). It not only inherits the advantages of WLTSVM but also has its characteristics. Firstly, it enhances generalization ability by mining intra-class information from the same perspective. Secondly, it reduces the redundancy constraints with the help of inter-class information, thus improving the running speed. Most importantly, it can follow both the consensus and the complementarity principle simultaneously as a multi-view classification model. The consensus principle is realized by minimizing the coupling items of the two views in the original objective function. The complementary principle is achieved by establishing privileged information paradigms and MVL. A standard quadratic programming solver is used to solve the problem. Compared with multi-view classification models such as SVM-2K, MVTSVM, MCPK, and PSVM-2V, our model has better accuracy and classification efficiency. Experimental results on 45 binary data sets prove the effectiveness of our method.

Automated classification of stems and leaves of potted plants based on point cloud data

The accurate classification of plant organs is a key step in monitoring the growing status and physiology of plants. A classification method was proposed to classify the leaves and stems of potted plants automatically based on the point cloud data of the plants, which is a nondestructive acquisition. The leaf point training samples were automatically extracted by using the three-dimensional convex hull algorithm, while stem point training samples were extracted by using the point density of a two-dimensional projection. The two training sets were used to classify all the points into leaf points and stem points by utilizing the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm. The proposed method was tested by using the point cloud data of three potted plants and compared with two other methods, which showed that the proposed method can classify leaf and stem points accurately and efficiently.
