Optimization and Application of Cloud-based Deep Learning Architecture for Multi-Source Data Prediction

This study develops a cloud-based deep learning system for early prediction of diabetes, leveraging the distributed computing capabilities of the AWS cloud platform and deep learning technologies to achieve efficient and accurate risk assessment. The system utilizes EC2 p3.8xlarge GPU instances to accelerate model training, reducing training time by 93.2% while maintaining a prediction accuracy of 94.2%. With an automated data processing and model training pipeline built using Apache Airflow, the system can complete end-to-end updates within 18.7 hours. In clinical applications, the system demonstrates a prediction accuracy of 89.8%, sensitivity of 92.3%, and specificity of 95.1%. Early interventions based on predictions lead to a 37.5% reduction in diabetes incidence among the target population. The system's high performance and scalability provide strong support for large-scale diabetes prevention and management, showcasing significant public health value.

An Efficient L-Shape Fitting Method for Vehicle Pose Detection with 2D LiDAR

Detecting vehicles with strong robustness and high efficiency has become one of the key capabilities of fully autonomous driving cars. This topic has already been widely studied by GPU-accelerated deep learning approaches using image sensors and 3D LiDAR, however, few studies seek to address it with a horizontally mounted 2D laser scanner. 2D laser scanner is equipped on almost every autonomous vehicle for its superiorities in the field of view, lighting invariance, high accuracy and relatively low price. In this paper, we propose a highly efficient search-based L-Shape fitting algorithm for detecting positions and orientations of vehicles with a 2D laser scanner. Differing from the approach to formulating LShape fitting as a complex optimization problem, our method decomposes the L-Shape fitting into two steps: L-Shape vertexes searching and L-Shape corner localization. Our approach is computationally efficient due to its minimized complexity. In on-road experiments, our approach is capable of adapting to various circumstances with high efficiency and robustness.
