Regression testing reduction is an essential phase in software testing. In this step, the redundant and unnecessary cases are eliminated, whereas software accuracy and performance are not degraded. So far, various researches have been proposed in regression testing reduction field. The main challenge in this area is to provide a method that maintain fault-detection capability while reducing test suites. In this paper, a new test suite reduction technique is proposed based on data mining. In this method, in addition to test suite reduction, its fault-detection capability is preserved using both clustering and classification. In this approach, regression test cases are reduced using a bi-criteria data mining-based method in two levels. In each level, the different and useful coverage criteria and clustering algorithms are used to establish a better compromise between test suite size and the ability of reduced test suite fault detection. The results of the proposed method have been compared to the effects of five other methods based on PSTR and PFDL. The experiments show the efficiency of the proposed method in the test suite reduction in maintaining its capability in fault detection.

This paper proposed a fuzzy expert system for diagnosing diabetes. In the proposed method, at first, the fuzzy rules are generated based on the Pima Indians Diabetes Database (PIDD) and then the fuzzy membership functions are tuned using the Harris Hawks optimization (HHO). The experimental data set, PIDD with the age group from 25-30 is initially processed and the crisp values are converted into fuzzy values in the stage of fuzzification. The improved fuzzy expert system increases the classification accuracy which outperforms several famous methods for diabetes disease diagnosis. The HHO algorithm is applied to tune fuzzy membership functions to determine the best range for fuzzy membership functions and increase the accuracy of fuzzy rule classification. The experimental results in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity prove that the proposed expert system has a higher ability than other data mining models in diagnosing diabetes.

In this paper, a novel scheme for lossless meaningful visual secret sharing using XOR properties is presented. In the first step, genetic algorithm with an appropriate proposed objective function created noisy share images. These images do not contain any information about the input secret image and the secret image is fully recovered by stacking them together. Because of attacks on image transmission, a new approach for construction of meaningful shares by the properties of XOR is proposed. In recovery scheme, the input secret image is fully recovered by an efficient XOR operation. The proposed method is evaluated using PSNR, MSE and BCR criteria. The experimental results presents good outcome compared with other methods in both quality of share images and recovered image.

Every facial expression involves one or more facial action units appearing on the face. Therefore, action unit recognition is commonly used to enhance facial expression detection performance. It is important to identify subtle changes in face when particular action units occur. In this paper, we propose an architecture that employs local features extracted from specific regions of face while using global features taken from the whole face. To this end, we combine the SPPNet and FPN modules to architect an end-to-end network for facial action unit recognition. First, different predefined regions of face are detected. Next, the SPPNet module captures deformations in the detected regions. The SPPNet module focuses on each region separately and can not take into account possible changes in the other areas of the face. In parallel, the FPN module finds global features related to each of the facial regions. By combining the two modules, the proposed architecture is able to capture both local and global facial features and enhance the performance of action unit recognition task. Experimental results on DISFA dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.

Graph representation of data can better define relationships among data components and thus provide better and richer analysis. So far, movies have been represented in graphs many times using different features for clustering, genre prediction, and even for use in recommender systems. In constructing movie graphs, little attention has been paid to their textual features such as subtitles, while they contain the entire content of the movie and there is a lot of hidden information in them. So, in this paper, we propose a method called MoGaL to construct movie graph using LDA on subtitles. In this method, each node is a movie and each edge represents the novel relationship discovered by MoGaL among two associated movies. First, we extracted the important topics of the movies using LDA on their subtitles. Then, we visualized the relationship between the movies in a graph, using the cosine similarity. Finally, we evaluated the proposed method with respect to measures genre homophily and genre entropy. MoGaL succeeded to outperforms the baseline method significantly in these measures. Accordingly, our empirical results indicate that movie subtitles could be considered a rich source of informative information for various movie analysis tasks.

Gender recognition is an attractive research area in recent years. To make a user-friendly application for gender recognition, having an accurate, fast, and lightweight model applicable in a mobile device is necessary. Although successful results have been obtained using the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), this model needs high computational resources that are not appropriate for mobile and embedded applications. To overcome this challenge and considering the recent advances in Deep Learning, in this paper, we propose a deep learning-based model for gender recognition in mobile devices using the lightweight CNN models. In this way, a pretrained CNN model, entitled Multi-Task Convolutional Neural Network (MTCNN), is used for face detection. Furthermore, the MobileFaceNet model is modified and trained using the Margin Distillation cost function. To boost the model performance, the Dense Block and Depthwise separable convolutions are used in the model. Results on six datasets confirm that the proposed model outperforms the MobileFaceNet model on six datasets with the relative accuracy improvements of 0.02%, 1.39%, 2.18%, 1.34%, 7.51%, 7.93% on the LFW, CPLFW, CFP-FP, VGG2-FP, UTKFace, and own data, respectively. In addition, we collected a dataset, including a total of 100’000 face images from both male and female in different age categories. Images of the women are with and without headgear.

Nowadays, whereas the use of social networks and computer networks is increasing, the amount of associated complex data with graph structure and their applications, such as classification, clustering, link prediction, and recommender systems, has risen significantly. Because of security problems and societal concerns, anomaly detection is becoming a vital problem in most fields. Applications that use a heterogeneous graph, are confronted with many issues, such as different kinds of neighbors, different feature types, and differences in type and number of links. So, in this research, we employ the HetGNN model with some changes in loss functions and parameters for heterogeneous graph embedding to capture the whole graph features (structure and content) for anomaly detection, then pass it to a VAE to discover anomalous nodes based on reconstruction error. Our experiments on AMiner data set with many base-lines illustrate that our model outperforms state-of-the-arts methods in heterogeneous graphs while considering all types of attributes.
