In order to solve the problem that the siamese neural network is sensitive to position, complex background and intra-class differences due to the use of image-level feature metrics, this paper proposed a Dual Metric Siamese Neural Network (DM-SiameseNet) . DM-SiameseNet used image-level features and local features (local descriptors) to jointly represent each image, then learned feature maps based on two different levels of similarity measures, and finally used an adaptive fusion strategy to adaptively integrate two different measurement result represented by the level feature. Experimental results showed that the accuracy of the improved model was increased by 5.04% and 9.66%respectively, and was higher than the measurement methods that only use image-level feature representation or local descriptor representation on miniImageNet, TieredImageNet, Stanford Dogs, Stanford Cars and CUB-200 datasets. The experimental results prove that the proposed model not only considers the global features of the image, but also captures more effective local feature information in the image, which improves the generalization ability of the model.

In image retrieval based on deep hashing, to solve the problems of low feature extraction efficiency in convolutional neural networks (CNN ) and underutilization of feature correlation, this paper proposed a novel method combining sparse difference network and multi-supervised hashing( SDNMSH ), and used it for efficient image retrieval. SDNMSH took pairs of images as training inputs, and guided hash codes learning through an elaborately designed sparse difference convolutional neural network and a supervised hash function. The sparse difference convolutional layer and the vanilla convolutional layer composed the sparse difference convolutional neural network. The sparse difference convolutional layer could quickly extract rich feature information, to achieve efficient feature extraction of the entire network. At the same time, in order to make full use of the pairwise correlation of semantic information and features, so as to promote the feature information extracted by the network to be more effectively transformed into discriminative hash codes, and then to achieve efficient image retrieval by using SDNMSH, this paper adopted a multi-supervised hash( MSH) function and designed an objective function for this purpose. Extensive experimental results on three widely used datasets MNIST,CIFAR-10 and NUS-WIDE show that SDNMSH achieves better retrieval performance, compared with the state-of-the-arts.

Federated learning is designed to solve the problem of data fragmentation and data isolation based on privacy protection in distributed machine learning. In the federated learning system, participants collaboratively train a model. Each participant uses local data to train the local model, and uploads the trained local model to the server for aggregation. In the real application environment, the data distribution between nodes is often very different, resulting in the accuracy of federated learning model is low. In order to solve the influence of non-independent identically distributed data on the accuracy of the model, this paper proposed a clustering federated learning framework by using the similarity of data distribution between different nodes. Extensive experiments were conducted on Synthetic, CIFAR-10 and FEMNIST standard datasets. Compared with other federated learning methods, clustering federated learning based on data distribution greatly improves the accuracy of the model and requires less computation.

The sentence level extraction method is insufficient to solve the problem of Chinese event element dispersion. To solve this problem, this paper proposed a document level event extraction method based on context fusion. Firstly, the paper divided the document into paragraphs, and used bidirectional long and short memory network to extract sequence features of paragraphs. Secondly, the method used self-attention mechanism to capture the interaction information of paragraph context. Then the method combined the document sequence features with the interaction information to update the semantic representation. Finally, the method used sequence annotation to extract event elements and match event types. Compared with other event extraction methods on the same Chinese data set, the experimental results show that this method can effectively extract scattered event elements from documents, and improve the extraction performance of the model.

Capsule network emphasizes the encoding of image features' spatial relationship, while its feature extraction module has difficulty in handling complex scenarios. In order to improve the performance of CapsNet, this paper proposed a capsule network with a self-attention feature extraction module ( SA-CapsNet) to solve the above problem. At first, it improved CapsNet by reducing the dimension of the capsule and adding an intermediate layer. Then mapped the SA module to the feature extraction layer of the capsule network to increase feature extraction capability. The results worked on the MNIST, Fashion MNIST, and CIFARlO datasets show that the classification accuracy rates are 99. 67%, 92. 21 %, and 82. 51 %, respectively. Additionally, results demonstrate the effectiveness of this proposed network, and the overall performance has been dramatically improved compared with CapsNet [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
