Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the development of information society, the data scale is becoming larger and larger, and heterogeneous information is significantly expanding, including a series of cross media content, including video, image, remote sensing, audio, text, and other data. At present, the emergence of increasingly complex big data brings more challenges to the current big data analysis technology. Because of its multilayer nonlinear structure, the deep learning model has a strong feature learning ability, which provides an effective way to solve the above problems. For data-driven representation learning, such as speech recognition, target detection, image classification, and machine translation, deep learning shows unique advantages.

Therefore, this Special Issue aims to collate original research and review articles that emphasize the important role of deep learning for big data analysis. It calls for state-of-the-art research in the theory, algorithm, modeling, system, and application of deep learning-based big data analysis and aims to demonstrate the latest efforts of relevant researchers.

In response to the issue that post-training quantization leads to performance degradation in mobile deployment, as well as the problem that the balanced consideration of quantization deviation by Clipping optimization techniques limits the improvement of quantization accuracy, this article proposes a novel clipping optimization method named ClipQ, which pays different attention to the parameters, aiming to preferentially reduce the quantization deviation of important parameters. The attention of the weight is positively related to its absolute value. Channel information entropy and principal component analysis are used to characterize the channel attention and spatial attention of activations, respectively. In addition, the particle swarm algorithm is applied in weight clipping to adjust the search step size and direction adaptively. ClipQ achieves high-precision quantization with very few calibration samples (<=50) and low time cost. Meanwhile, it does not bring extra computation, which is friendly to hardware. The experimental evaluation on image classification, semantic segmentation, and object detection shows that ClipQ outperforms other state-of-the-art clipping techniques, such as KL, ACIQ, and MSE. In 8-bit quantization, the average precision loss is 0.31% for image classification and 0.22% for object detection. More notably, it achieves almost lossless accuracy in semantic segmentation tasks.

The purpose of change detection is to recognize changed areas from a pair of two remote sensing images. However, since change areas often include multiple terrain features, this demands enhanced feature extraction capability from the model. This paper proposes a frozen-parameter Transformer self-attention change detection network (ZAQNet). The network integrates four innovative modules: a GIAU (Generalized Image Attention Unit) which can effectively fuse the features of two remote sensing images and accurately focus on changing areas; a GSAU (Global Spatial Attention Unit) which performs self attention processing in the image spatial dimension to enhance the model’s ability to capture global change information; a GSCU (Global Semantic Context Unit) which performs self-attention operations in the channel dimension to enhance the model’s attention to feature maps containing changing information; and a PRU (Patch Refinement Unit) which extracts and refines spatial position information from the underlying feature map, optimizing the restoration effect of the feature map. The experiments on the BTRS-CD and LEVIR-CD datasets show that ZAQNet performs excellently in change detection tasks. Among them, the change detection index F1 and IOU are better than the comparison model. These results fully demonstrate the superiority, robustness, and generalization ability of ZAQNet in change detection tasks and provide an efficient and reliable solution for remote sensing image analysis.

Automatic page layout generation is a challenging and promising research task, which improves the design efficiency and quality of various documents, web pages, etc. However, the current generation of layouts that are both reasonable and aesthetically pleasing still faces many difficulties, such as the shortcomings of existing methods in terms of structural rationality, element alignment, text and image relationship processing, and insufficient consideration of element details and mutual influence within the page. To address these issues, this article proposes a Transformer-based Generative Adversarial Network (TGAN). Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) innovatively introduce the self-attention mechanism into the network, enabling the model to focus more on key local information that affects page layout. By introducing conditional variables in the generator and discriminator, more accurate sample generation and discrimination can be achieved. The experimental results show that the TGAN outperforms other methods in both subjective and objective ratings when generating page layouts. The generated layouts perform better in element alignment, avoiding overlap, and exhibit higher layout quality and stability, providing a more effective solution for automatic page layout generation.
