Lesion classification and diabetic retinopathy grading by integrating softmax and pooling operators into vision transformer by Chong Liu, Weiguang Wang, Jian Lian, Wanzhen Jiao

“…To be specific, a portion of query and key tokens, which are much less than the original query and key tokens, are adopted in the attention module by adding a set of proxy tokens. Note that the proxy tokens can fully utilize both the advantages of softmax and linear attention.ResultsTo evaluate the performance of the presented approach, the comparison experiments between state-of-the-art algorithms and the proposed approach are conducted. …”

Research on cloud storage systems supporting secure sharing by Yan SONG, Zhen HAN, Jian-jun LI, Lei HAN

“…A practical scheme for the cloud storage system was proposed to ensure security and efficiency during data sharing.The scheme which combine attribute-based encryption,proxy encryption with symmetric encryption,could integrate access control,efficient search with encryption well together.The scheme archived conjunctive-keyword non-field subset search by using bilinear mapping and polynomial equation.The scheme reduced the cost of decryption by outsourcing most of the decryption operations from the terminal to the cloud.At last,the performance was analyzed and an experiment was made for verification.…”

Region-of-interest based fast transcoding for mobile video terminals by HE Qiang1, YANG Gao-bo1, ZHANG Zhao-yang3

“…A fast transcoding scheme based on region of interest（ROI） was proposed for mobile video terminals.According to the target displaying size,the ROIs were automatically detected from the input H.264 video stream based on visual attention model in the video server.The video stream was automatically generated at the proxy server by video transcoding for mobile terminals.Moreover,a fast mode decision algorithm was proposed for video transcoding.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach can not only reduce the bandwidth occupation,but also obtain excellent video quality with a low computational complexity.…”

Dynamic scheduling algorithm for streaming media based on CDN by YANG Ge1, FAN Xiu-mei3

“…The scheme that the patch bytes were segmented and cached was employed.The cache window size was up-dated periodically according to the popularity of streaming media object.The principle was obeyed that the data cached for each streaming media object were in proportion to their popularity at the proxy server.Simulation results show that the strategy is more adaptive than MBP（multicast batched patching） algorithm and OBP（optimized batch patch-ing）+prefix ＆ patch caching algorithm.It can significantly reduce patching data through patching channel under the cir-cumstance of the same maximum cache space.It can effectively reduce the server load and network bandwidth usage on backbone link.It can also save the transmission cost.…”
