LKAW: a robust watermarking method based on large kernel convolution and adaptive weight assignment by Zhang, Xiaorui, Jiang, Rui, Sun, Wei, Song, Aiguo, Wei, Xindong, Meng, Ruohan

“…Because the magnitude and convergence rates of each loss function are different, an adaptive loss weight assignment strategy is proposed to make the weights participate in the network training together and adjust the weight dynamically. Further, a high-frequency wavelet loss is proposed, by which the watermarking is restricted to only the low-frequency wavelet sub-bands, thereby enhancing the robustness of watermarking against image compression. …”

Financial forecasting using meta-cognitive fuzzy neural networks by Singh Akhand Pratap

“…The setback identified in the project for the above stated problem is the way the prediction variables are calculated and the lack of automated mechanisms to adjust certain thresholds. Some potential ways to address the above issues could be usage of synthetic data through time-series models to train the model till the test date; usage of manual inferences drawn from the indicators to make judgements about the present day; usage of multiple machine learning models and combining the results from all; usage of dynamic feature selection mechanism to make improvements to the prediction; and usage of dynamic thresholds that are dependent on the market conditions. …”
