Regional wall motion assessment is critical for the diagnosis of coronary artery diseases, and is commonly performed using echocardiography images in clinical practice. However, manual assessment of regional wall motion is time-consuming and requires expertise. Currently, various works have been proposed to detect the existence of regional wall motion abnormality, whereas they do not provide a seg...Show More
The continuous thriving of the Blockchain society motivates research in novel designs of schemes supporting cryptocurrencies. Previously multiple Proof-of-Deep-Learning(PoDL) consensuses have been proposed to replace hashing with useful work such as deep learning model training tasks. The energy will be more efficiently used while maintaining the ledger. However deep learning models are problem-sp...Show More
Quantization has become an essential technique in compressing deep neural networks for deployment onto resource-constrained hardware. It is noticed that, the hardware efficiency of implementing quantized networks is highly coupled with the actual values to be quantized into, and therefore, with given bit widths, we can smartly choose a value space to further boost the hardware effi-ciency. For exa...Show More
Anomalous left coronary artery from pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a serious cardiac anomaly, and surgical repair is the main treatment for ALCAPA patients in clinical practice. Recently, 3D printing has been widely adopted in the surgical planning of ALCAPA, which can give surgeons an intuitive structure of the heart especially the coronary arteries. However, before 3D printing is conducted, experi...Show More
Ventricular arrhythmia (VA) detection plays an important role in preventing sudden cardiac death, and is one of the most crucial components in current implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). Recently, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been widely acknowledged to outperform traditional methods for arrhythmias detection. However, most modern CNN-based VA detectors have relied on comp...Show More
The success of graph neural networks (GNNs) in the past years has aroused growing interest and effort in designing the best models to handle graph-structured data. Meanwhile, the neural architecture search (NAS) technique has been witnessed to rival against human experts in discovering efficient network topology. Most recently, it has been applied to the field of GNN engineering. However, despite ...Show More
In many recent novel blockchain consensuses, deep learning training procedure becomes the task for miners to prove their workload, thus the computation power of miners will not purely be spent on the hash puzzle. Therefore, the hardware and energy will support the blockchain service and deep learning training at the same time. The incentive of miners is to earn tokens and individual miners will fi...Show More
With pervasive applications of medical imaging in health-care, biomedical image segmentation plays a central role in quantitative analysis, clinical diagnosis, and medical intervention. Since manual annotation suffers limited reproducibility, arduous efforts, and excessive time, automatic segmentation is desired to process increasingly larger scale histopathological data. Recently, deep neural net...Show More
Due to the fast growing industry of smart cars and autonomous driving, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) with its applications have attracted a lot of attention. As a crucial part of ADAS, obstacle detection has been challenge due to the real-tme and resource-constraint requirements. Cellular neural network (CeNN) has been popular for obstacle detection, however suffers from high computati...Show More
The rapid development of Internet of Things is yielding a huge volume of time series data, the real-time mining of which becomes a major load for data centers. The computation bottleneck in time series mining is the distance measure, in which dynamic time warping (DTW) is one of the most widely used distance measures. Recently, various software optimization and hardware acceleration techniques hav...Show More
With the need for increased care and welfare of the rapidly aging population, mobile telemedicine is becoming popular for providing remote health care to increase the quality of life. Recently, image analysis is being actively applied for medical diagnosis and treatment, in which image segmentation is of the fundamental importance for other image processing such as visualization and detection. How...Show More
