The inversion problem of partial differential equation plays a crucial role in cyber-physical systems applications. This paper presents a novel deep learning optimization approach to constructing a solver of heat equation inversion. To improve the computational efficiency in large-scale industrial applications, data and model parallelisms are incorporated on a platform of multiple GPUs. The advanced Ring-AllReduce architecture is harnessed to achieve an acceleration ratio of 3.46. Then a new multi-GPUs distributed optimization method GradReduce is proposed based on Ring-AllReduce architecture. This method optimizes the original data communication mechanism based on mechanical time and frequency by introducing the gradient transmission scheme …

With the rise of deep neural networks, the challenge of explaining the predictions of these networks has become increasingly recognized. While many methods for explaining the decisions of deep neural networks exist, there is currently no consensus on how to evaluate them. On the other hand, robustness is a popular topic for deep learning research; however, it is hardly talked about in explainability until very recently. In this tutorial paper, we start by presenting gradient-based interpretability methods. These techniques use gradient signals to assign the burden of the decision on the input features. Later, we discuss how gradient-based methods can …

The identification of accurate features is the initial task for benchmarked handwriting recognition. For handwriting recognition, the objective of feature computation is to find those characteristics of a handwritten stroke that depict the class of a stroke and make it separable from the rest of the stroke classes. The present study proposes a feature extraction technique for online handwritten strokes based on a self controlled Ramer-Douglas-Peucker (RDP) algorithm. This novel approach prepares a smaller length feature vector for different shaped online handwritten strokes without preprocessing and without any control parameter to RDP. Thus, it also overcomes the shortcomings of the …
