Due to the complexity and illegibility of medical images, it brings inconvenience and difficulty to the diagnosis of medical personnel. To address these issues, an optimization algorithm called GSL(Gradient sine linear) based on Adam algorithm improvement is proposed in this paper, which introduces gradient pruning strategy, periodic adjustment of learning rate, and linear interpolation strategy. The gradient trimming technique can scale the gradient to prevent gradient explosion, while the periodic adjustment of the learning rate and linear interpolation strategy adjusts the learning rate according to the characteristics of the sinusoidal function, accelerating the convergence while reducing the drastic parameter fluctuations, improving the efficiency and stability of training. The experimental results show that compared to the classic Adam algorithm, this algorithm can demonstrate better classification accuracy, the GSL algorithm achieves an accuracy of 78% and 75.2% on the MobileNetV2 network and ShuffleNetV2 network under the Gastroenterology dataset; and on the MobileNetV2 network and ShuffleNetV2 network under the Glaucoma dataset, an accuracy of 84.72% and 83.12%. The GSL optimizer achieved significant performance improvement on various neural network structures and datasets, proving its effectiveness and practicality in the field of deep learning, and also providing new ideas and methods for solving the difficulties in medical image recognition.

This paper introduces an enhanced variant of the Adam optimizer—the BGE-Adam optimization algorithm—that integrates three innovative technologies to augment the adaptability, convergence, and robustness of the original algorithm under various training conditions. Firstly, the BGE-Adam algorithm incorporates a dynamic β parameter adjustment mechanism that utilizes the rate of gradient variations to dynamically adjust the exponential decay rates of the first and second moment estimates (β1 and β2), the adjustment of β1 and β2 is symmetrical, which means that the rules that the algorithm considers when adjusting β1 and β2 are the same. This design helps to maintain the consistency and balance of the algorithm, allowing the optimization algorithm to adaptively capture the trending movements of gradients. Secondly, it estimates the direction of future gradients by a simple gradient prediction model, combining historic gradient information with the current gradient. Lastly, entropy weighting is integrated into the gradient update step. This strategy enhances the model’s exploratory nature by introducing a certain amount of noise, thereby improving its adaptability to complex loss surfaces. Experimental results on classical datasets, MNIST and CIFAR10, and gastrointestinal disease medical datasets demonstrate that the BGE-Adam algorithm has improved convergence and generalization capabilities. In particular, on the specific medical image gastrointestinal disease test dataset, the BGE-Adam optimization algorithm achieved an accuracy of 69.36%, a significant improvement over the 67.66% accuracy attained using the standard Adam algorithm; on the CIFAR10 test dataset, the accuracy of the BGE-Adam algorithm reached 71.4%, which is higher than the 70.65% accuracy of the Adam optimization algorithm; and on the MNIST dataset, the BGE-Adam algorithm’s accuracy was 99.34%, surpassing the Adam optimization algorithm’s accuracy of 99.23%. The BGE-Adam optimization algorithm exhibits better convergence and robustness. This research not only demonstrates the effectiveness of the combination of these three technologies but also provides new perspectives for the future development of deep learning optimization algorithms.

Micro-optics based on the artificial adjustment of physical dimensions, such as the phase, polarization, and wavelength of light, constitute the basis of contemporary information optoelectronic technology. As the main means of optical integration, it has become one of the important ways to break through the future bottleneck of microelectronic technology. Geometric phase optical components can precisely control the polarization, phase, amplitude and other properties of the light field at the sub-wavelength scale by periodically arranging nanometer-sized unit structures. It has received extensive attention in the fields of holographic imaging and polarization optics. This paper reviews the physical mechanism of micro-nano structure modification, research progress of femtosecond laser direct-writing photoresist, femtosecond laser ablation of metal thin films, femtosecond laser-induced nanograting, and other methods for preparing polarization converters and geometric phase optics. The challenges of fabricating ultrafast optical devices using femtosecond laser technology are discussed.

In this study, a gastrointestinal image classification method based on the improved Adam algorithm is proposed. Gastrointestinal image classification is of great significance in the field of medical image analysis, but it presents numerous challenges, including slow convergence, susceptibility to local minima, and the complexity and imbalance of medical image data. Although the Adam algorithm is widely used in stochastic gradient descent, it tends to suffer from overfitting and gradient explosion issues when dealing with complex data. To address these problems, this paper proposes an improved Adam algorithm, AdamW_AGC, which combines the weight decay and Adaptive Gradient Clipping (AGC) strategies. Weight decay is a common regularization technique used to prevent machine learning models from overfitting. Adaptive gradient clipping avoids the gradient explosion problem by restricting the gradient to a suitable range and helps accelerate the convergence of the optimization process. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, we conducted experiments on the HyperKvasir dataset and validation experiments on the MNIST and CIFAR10 standard datasets. Experimental results on the HyperKvasir dataset demonstrate that the improved algorithm achieved a classification accuracy of 75.8%, compared to 74.2% for the traditional Adam algorithm, representing an improvement of 1.6%. Furthermore, validation experiments on the MNIST and CIFAR10 datasets resulted in classification accuracies of 98.69% and 71.7%, respectively. These results indicate that the AdamW_AGC algorithm has advantages in handling complex, high-dimensional medical image classification tasks, effectively improving both classification accuracy and training stability. This study provides new ideas and expansions for future optimizer research.

Consider the problem of memoryless state feedback controller for time-delay system, which cannot consider both the memoryless and the memory items in the system. Therefore, the memoryless state feedback controller has certain limitations and is more conservative. This paper addresses the memory state feedback control for the time-varying delay switched fuzzy systems based on T-S fuzzy model to overcome the problem discussed above. The state vector and input of the time-varying delay systems contain unknown time-varying delay with known bounds. The designed controller whose parameters are solvable can introduce past state information and reduce the system conservativeness. The more general Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional is selected and the switching law is designed in order to analyze the open-loop system stability, and the memory state feedback controller is designed for the closed-loop system and the criterion for its asymptotic stability. Discuss the solvability of the above two criteria. Finally, a numerical example is given. The simulation results show that the proposed method is more feasible and effective.

To address the various challenges in aluminum surface defect detection, such as multiscale intricacies, sensitivity to lighting variations, occlusion, and noise, this study proposes the AluDef-ClassNet model. Firstly, a Gaussian difference pyramid is utilized to capture multiscale image features. Secondly, a self-attention mechanism is introduced to enhance feature representation. Additionally, an improved residual network structure incorporating dilated convolutions is adopted to increase the receptive field, thereby enhancing the network’s ability to learn from extensive information. A small-scale dataset of high-quality aluminum surface defect images is acquired using a CCD camera. To better tackle the challenges in surface defect detection, advanced deep learning techniques and data augmentation strategies are employed. To address the difficulty of data labeling, a transfer learning approach based on fine-tuning is utilized, leveraging prior knowledge to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of model training. In dataset testing, our model achieved a classification accuracy of 97.6%, demonstrating significant advantages over other classification models.
