Medi Noviana, Sunny Arief Sudiro — Tue, 19 Nov 2024 01:34:11 +0000

Inference is the process of using models to make predictions on new data, performance is measured based on throughput, latency, GPU memory usage, and GPU power usage. The models used are BERT and ResNet50. The right configuration can be used to maximise inference. Configuration analysis needs to be done to find out which configuration is right for model inference. The main challenge in the analysis process lies in its inherent time-intensive nature and inherent complexity, making it a task that is not simple. The analysis needs to be made easier by building an automation programme. The automation programme analyses the BERT model inference configuration by dividing 10 configurations namely bert-large_config_0 to bert-large_config_9, the result is that the right configuration is bert-large_config_2 resulting in a throughput of 12.8 infer/sec with a latency of 618 ms. While the ResNet50 model is divided into 5 configurations, namely resnet50_config_0 to resnet50_config_4, the result is that the right configuration is resnet50_config_1 which produces a throughput of 120.6 infer/sec with a latency of 60.9 ms. The automation programme has the benefit of facilitating the process of analysing the inference configuration.

Zahwa Dewi Artika, Erwin Budi Setiawan — Tue, 19 Nov 2024 01:39:16 +0000

Along with the development of technology, social media has become integral to everyday life, especially for sharing content like culinary reviews. Social media platform X (formerly Twitter) is often used for sharing culinary recommendations, but the abundance of information makes it difficult for users to find relevant suggestions. In order to improve rating prediction performance, this study suggests a recommendation system model that is more thoroughly created utilizing Content-Based Filtering (CBF) combined with Deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and optimised with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). Data was collected from PergiKuliner and Twitter, totaling 2644 reviews and 200 cuisines. The preprocessing involved text processing, translation, and polarity assessment. Post-labeling, 7438 data were labeled with 0 and 1562 with 1. Label 0 means not recommended while label 1 means recommended. The imbalance is handled by applying the SMOTE method after observing that the fraction of data labeled 0 and 1 is 65.2%. CBF employed TF-IDF feature extraction and FastText word embedding, while Deep CNN handled classification. PSO optimisation was applied to enhance the accuracy of culinary rating predictions. The results showed an initial accuracy of 76.32% with the baseline Deep CNN model, which increased to 86.06% after Nadam optimisation with the best learning rate, and further reached 86.18% after PSO optimisation on dense units. The 9.86% accuracy improvement from the baseline model demonstrates the effectiveness of the combined methods.
