At present, medical images have played a more and more important role in clinical treatment. Lung images provide an important reference for doctors to make a diagnosis. Especially for surgical patients, a tumor can be accurately removed based on the full cognition about its size, position, and quantity. Therefore, computer-aided diagnosis for the analysis and treatment of a lot of lung tumor images is very important. Aiming at complexity and self-adaption of image segmentation in lung tumors, this article proposed a parallel deep learning algorithm with hybrid attention mechanism for image segmentation. First, lung parenchyma was extracted via preprocessing images. Then, images were input into hybrid attention mechanism and densely connected convolutional networks (DenseNet) module, respectively, where hybrid attention mechanism consisted of a spatial attention mechanism and a channel attention mechanism. Finally, four feasible solutions were proposed for the verification through changing the convolution quantity of dense block in DenseNet. The network structure with the better performance was achieved. The experimental results prove the parallel deep learning algorithm with hybrid attention mechanism performed well in image segmentation of lung tumors, and its accuracy can reach 94.61%.

The extreme environment refers to the abnormal temperature, pressure, or vibration in the environment within a certain period of time, which will cause the fault of bearing equipment. Bearing fault diagnosis model can accurately identify the health status of bearing equipment, which can deal with the influence of extreme environments on the normal operation of bearings in a timely manner. However, current bearing fault diagnosis models have the following challenge: the sample size of faulty data is too small, which makes the parameters in the bearing fault diagnosis model unable to be effectively learned. Therefore, in order to solve the above issue in the field of bearing fault diagnosis, we draw on the siamese network and convolutional autoencoder, and propose a real-time bearing fault diagnosis model based on siamese convolutional autoencoder (RBFDSCA) in this work. First, we use an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) platform to collect, store and analyze bearing data. Second, to cope with the challenge of the small sample size of faulty data, RBFDSCA model constructs a siamese convolutional autoencoder. The siamese convolutional autoencoder contains a positive feature extraction network, a negative feature extraction network, and a prediction network. The four evaluation metrics of RBFDSCA model on the real bearing data set are 0.9638, 0.9640, 0.9641, and 0.9639, respectively, which verifies its excellent performance.

Using traffic data to accurately predict the traffic flow at a certain time in the future can alleviate problems such as traffic congestion, which plays an important role in the healthy transportation and economic development of cities. However, current traffic flow prediction models rely on human experience and only consider the advantages of single machine learning model. Therefore, in this work, we propose a multi-layer model based on transformer and deep learning for traffic flow prediction (MTDLTFP). The MTDLTFP model first draws on the idea of transformer model, which uses multiple encoders and decoders to perform feature extraction on the initial traffic data without human experience. In addition, in the prediction stage, the MTDLTFP model using deep learning technology, which input the hidden features into the convolutional neural network (CNN) and multi-layer feedforward neural network (MFNN) to obtain the prediction score respectively. The CNN model can captures the correlation information between the hidden features, and the MFNN can captures the nonlinear relationship between the features. Finally, we use a linear model to combine the two prediction scores, which can make the final prediction value take into account the common advantages of both models. Multiple experimental results on two real datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the MTDLTFP model. The experimental results on the $WorkDay$ dataset are as follows, with the RMSE value of 0.191, MAE value of 0.165. The experimental results on the $HoliDay$ dataset are as follows, with RMSE value of 0.227, MAE value of 0.192.

Bearings are the core component of mechanical equipment. The health status of bearings is the key to the stable operation of the system. Bearing fault diagnosis model can discover damaged bearings in time, which has a large economic value for enterprises. The previous bearings fault diagnosis model suffers from problems such as small fault data and unrepresentative features, which leads to poor model generalization performance. Therefore, in this work, we propose a masked one-dimensional convolutional autoencoder (MOCAE) for bearing fault diagnosis based on digital twin enabled industrial internet of things (IIoT). The model monitors the bearing data using a set of IIoT platforms. The digital twin technology is used to build a digital twin model of the bearing device, and the parameters of the digital twin model are trained by the fault data obtained from the IIoT platform. The trained digital twin model can then simulate whether the bearing is faulty. In this digital twin model, MOCAE model is proposed for diagnosing faulty bearing signals. The MOCAE model first extracts the features from the time series signal of the bearing using a one-dimensional convolutional autoencoder, which can enhance the reconstruction ability of hidden features to make them more representative. Next, the MOCAE model automatically extracts the feature information contained in the time series signal data by self-training in order to reduce the dependence on the labeled data. The comprehensive experimental results on real bearing datasets show the superiority of the MOCAE model.

Smart hospitals are important components of smart cities. An intelligent medical system for brain tumor segmentation is required to construct smart hospitals. To achieve intelligent brain tumor segmentation, morphological variety and serious category imbalance must be managed effectively. Conventional deep neural networks have difficulty in predicting high-accuracy segmentation images due to these issues. To solve these problems, we propose using multimodal brain tumor images combined with the UNET and LSTM models to construct a new network structure with a mixed loss function to solve sample imbalance and describe an intelligent segmentation process to identify brain tumors. To verify the practicability of this algorithm, we used the open source Brain Tumor Segmentation Challenge dataset to train and verify the proposed network. We obtained DSCs of 0.91, 0.82, and 0.80; sensitivities of 0.93, 0.85, and 0.82; and specificities of 0.99, 0.99, and 0.98 in three tumor regions, including the whole tumor ( WT ), tumor core ( TC ), and enhanced tumor ( ET ). We also compared the results of the proposed network with those of other brain tumor segmentation methods, and the results showed that the proposed algorithm could segment different tumor lesions more accurately, highlighting its potential application value in the clinical diagnosis of brain tumors.
