FAST ALGORITHMS FOR UNSUPERVISED LEARNING IN LARGE DATA SETScsandit
The ability to mine and extract useful information automatically, from large datasets, is a
common concern for organizations (having large datasets), over the last few decades. Over the
internet, data is vastly increasing gradually and consequently the capacity to collect and store
very large data is significantly increasing.
Existing clustering algorithms are not always efficient and accurate in solving clustering
problems for large datasets.
However, the development of accurate and fast data classification algorithms for very large
scale datasets is still a challenge. In this paper, various algorithms and techniques especially,
approach using non-smooth optimization formulation of the clustering problem, are proposed
for solving the minimum sum-of-squares clustering problems in very large datasets. This
research also develops accurate and real time L2-DC algorithm based with the incremental
approach to solve the minimum
Image De-Noising Using Deep Neural Networkaciijournal
Deep neural network as a part of deep learning algorithm is a state-of-the-art approach to find higher level
representations of input data which has been introduced to many practical and challenging learning
problems successfully. The primary goal of deep learning is to use large data to help solving a given task
on machine learning. We propose an methodology for image de-noising project defined by this model and
conduct training a large image database to get the experimental output. The result shows the robustness
and efficient our our algorithm.
The field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been revitalized in this decade, primarily due to the large-scale application of Deep Learning (DL) and other Machine Learning (ML) algorithms. This has been most evident in applications like computer vision, natural language processing, and game bots. However, extraordinary successes within a short period of time have also had the unintended consequence of causing a sharp difference of opinion in research and industrial communities regarding the capabilities and limitations of deep learning. A few questions you might have heard being asked (or asked yourself) include:
a. We don’t know how Deep Neural Networks make decisions, so can we trust them?
b. Can Deep Learning deal with highly non-linear continuous systems with millions of variables?
c. Can Deep Learning solve the Artificial General Intelligence problem?
The goal of this seminar is to provide a 1000-feet view of Deep Learning and hopefully answer the questions above. The seminar will touch upon the evolution, current state of the art, and peculiarities of Deep Learning, and share thoughts on using Deep Learning as a tool for developing power system solutions.
Soft computing is likely to play aprogressively important role in many applications including image enhancement. The paradigm for soft computing is the human mind. The soft computing critique has been particularly strong with fuzzy logic. The fuzzy logic is facts representationas a
rule for management of uncertainty. Inthis paperthe Multi-Dimensional optimized problem is addressed by discussing the optimal thresholding usingfuzzyentropyfor Image enhancement. This technique is compared with bi-level and multi-level thresholding and obtained optimal
thresholding values for different levels of speckle noisy and low contrasted images. The fuzzy entropy method has produced better results compared to bi-level and multi-level thresholding techniques.

Quality Prediction in Fingerprint CompressionIJTET Journal
A new algorithm for fingerprint compression based on sparse representation is introduced. At first, dictionary is constructed by sparse combination of set of fingerprint patches. Designing dictionaries can be done by either selecting one from a prespecified set or adapting a dictionary to a set of training signals. In this paper, we use K-SVD algorithm to construct dictionary. After computation of dictionary, the image gets quantized, filtered and encoded. The resultant image obtained may be of three qualities: Good, Bad and Ugly (GBU problem). In this paper, we overcome the GBU problem by prediction the quality of image.

Adjusting OpenMP PageRank : SHORT REPORT / NOTESSubhajit Sahu
For massive graphs that fit in RAM, but not in GPU memory, it is possible to take
advantage of a shared memory system with multiple CPUs, each with multiple cores, to
accelerate pagerank computation. If the NUMA architecture of the system is properly taken
into account with good vertex partitioning, the speedup can be significant. To take steps in
this direction, experiments are conducted to implement pagerank in OpenMP using two
different approaches, uniform and hybrid. The uniform approach runs all primitives required
for pagerank in OpenMP mode (with multiple threads). On the other hand, the hybrid
approach runs certain primitives in sequential mode (i.e., sumAt, multiply).
Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

Data Centers - Striving Within A Narrow Range - Research Report - MCG - May 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) expects to see demand and the changing evolution of supply, facilitated through institutional investment rotation out of offices and into work from home (“WFH”), while the ever-expanding need for data storage as global internet usage expands, with experts predicting 5.3 billion users by 2023. These market factors will be underpinned by technological changes, such as progressing cloud services and edge sites, allowing the industry to see strong expected annual growth of 13% over the next 4 years.
Whilst competitive headwinds remain, represented through the recent second bankruptcy filing of Sungard, which blames “COVID-19 and other macroeconomic trends including delayed customer spending decisions, insourcing and reductions in IT spending, energy inflation and reduction in demand for certain services”, the industry has seen key adjustments, where MCG believes that engineering cost management and technological innovation will be paramount to success.
MCG reports that the more favorable market conditions expected over the next few years, helped by the winding down of pandemic restrictions and a hybrid working environment will be driving market momentum forward. The continuous injection of capital by alternative investment firms, as well as the growing infrastructural investment from cloud service providers and social media companies, whose revenues are expected to grow over 3.6x larger by value in 2026, will likely help propel center provision and innovation. These factors paint a promising picture for the industry players that offset rising input costs and adapt to new technologies.
According to M Capital Group: “Specifically, the long-term cost-saving opportunities available from the rise of remote managing will likely aid value growth for the industry. Through margin optimization and further availability of capital for reinvestment, strong players will maintain their competitive foothold, while weaker players exit the market to balance supply and demand.”

Introduction
We explore and propose an automated method for brain vessel
segmentation to alleviate the following identified problems:
• Difficulty and delay in manual vessel segmentation due low
contrast images from medical imaging processes.
• Health Hazards of contrast enhancing dyes
• Cost involved in manual brain vessel segmentation
A transfer learning approach is adapted to perform vessel seg-
mentation of the human brain [1].
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN)
CNNs are the main deep learning structures used in image pro-
cessing and the main architectures used in this task. They consist
of several layers for different purposes illustrated below.
Fig. 1: CNN Architecture [2]
Mathematically, the continuous convolution of two functions in 1
dimension is expressed by;
f(t) ∗ g(t) =
Z t
0
f(τ)g(t − τ)dτ. (1)
Convolutions have several properties including:
• Commutativity
f ∗ g = g ∗ f; (2)
• Associativity
f ∗ (g ∗ h) = (f ∗ g) ∗ h; (3)
• Distributivity
f ∗ (g + h) = (f ∗ g) + (f ∗ h). (4)
A special type of CNN, the Fully Convolutional Network(FCN) is
mostly used in segmentation tasks. A common filter applied for
this task is the edge detection filter illustrated below.

Transfer Learning
We perform transfer learning as a method to solve the unavailability of
manually annotated images. This approach allows us to start with learned
features before adjusting these features to suit the specific segmentation
task we want to carry out instead of starting the process all over from
scratch.
Fig. 5: Illustration of transfer learning [5].
Our approach mainly involved hyper-parameter tuning to enable the deep
learning architecture to work on our task of human brain segmentation

Evaluation
We evaluate the performance of the model on the datasets mentioned in
the previous section. Metrics used to measure predictions are Accuracy,
F1-score, Precision and Recall. These metrics are calculated in terms of
TP, TN, FP and FN.
• Accuracy is expressed as
A =

Qualitative Results

level from the imaging data. We provide results of the segmen-
tation of the Vessap Model as well as results of our pre-trained

Remarks
We presented automated method of brain vessel segmentation
with deep learning architectures. This method required lesser
resources and time as compared to manual vessel segmenta-
tion. We used a transfer learning approach with deepvesselnet
to segment and extract features on volumes of the human brain.
Due to lack of annotated ground-truth images, feature extraction
yielded low performance.
