    High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is the latest video coding standard that specifies video resolutions up to 8K Ultra-HD (UHD) at 120 fps to support the next decade of video applications. This results in high-throughput requirements for the context adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC) entropy decoder, which was already a well-known bottleneck in H.264/AVC. To address the throughput challenges, several modifications were made to CABAC during the standardization of HEVC. This work leverages these improvements in the design of a high-throughput HEVC CABAC decoder. It also supports the high-level parallel processing tools introduced by HEVC, including tile and wavefront parallel processing. The proposed design uses a deeply pipelined architecture to achieve a high clock rate. Additional techniques such as the state prefetch logic, latched-based context memory, and separate finite state machines are applied to minimize stall cycles, while multibypass- bin decoding is used to further increase the throughput. The design is implemented in an IBM 45nm SOI process. After place-and-route, its operating frequency reaches 1.6 GHz. The corresponding throughputs achieve up to 1696 and 2314 Mbin/s under common and theoretical worst-case test conditions, respectively. The results show that the design is sufficient to decode in real-time high-tier video bitstreams at level 6.2 (8K UHD at 120 fps), or main-tier bitstreams at level 5.1 (4K UHD at 60 fps) for applications requiring sub-frame latency, such as video conferencing

    Emotional Context Influences Micro-Expression Recognition

    No full text
    Micro-expressions are often embedded in a flow of expressions including both neutral and other facial expressions. However, it remains unclear whether the types of facial expressions appearing before and after the micro-expression, i.e., the emotional context, influence micro-expression recognition. To address this question, the present study used a modified METT (Micro-Expression Training Tool) paradigm that required participants to recognize the target micro-expressions presented briefly between two identical emotional faces. The results of Experiments 1 and 2 showed that negative context impaired the recognition of micro-expressions regardless of the duration of the target micro-expression. Stimulus-difference between the context and target micro-expression was accounted for in Experiment 3. Results showed that a context effect on micro-expression recognition persists even when the stimulus similarity between the context and target micro-expressions was controlled. Therefore, our results not only provided evidence for the context effect on micro-expression recognition but also suggested that the context effect might result from both the stimulus and valence differences.</p

    情緒在人際溝通上與服務的提供上,是個常被遺忘的對象;但近年來由於溝通互動和個人化服務的迅速發展,情緒漸漸的被視為一個考慮、討論以及研究的對象。在心理學以及哲學的領域中,情緒算是較早被提出和被研究的,一些情緒的功能像是決策決定、學習上已證明有明確的影響與功能。 以前人之研究作為基石,本研究乃採用人體的胸腔擴張程度、肌膚導電度、肌膚表面溫度、以及血氧濃度等生理數值作為訊號來源,進而辨識喜、怒、哀、懼等四種情緒狀態,並透過較為隱蔽的表達方式展現結果,以利用這些資訊來幫助人際溝通與互動。在情緒的辨認部份,本文探討了情緒與生理訊號之關係,以及部分前人之研究情形,從而提出我的解決方式。除此之外,情緒資訊之應用亦為本文的另一個重點。藉由此珍貴的資訊,在此也提出了應用的雛形Cura,透過隱諱但隨手可得的方式,告知週遭的人自己的情緒狀態,以協助人際溝通與互動。Emotion as a concept is usually forgotten in service providing and interactive communication. As content service and communication develop, emotion becomes more and more important in these research fields. In this research, I use bio-sensors to collect physiological signals from human subjects in different emotion states. The signals include sensor data from blood volume pulse, skin conductance, skin temperature, and respiration. I extract the features from these signals, and then use support vector machine to learn a classifier. The recognition rate of emotion is about 97%. Furthermore, a prototype application Cura is made. Cura is an ambient cube which shows emotion states depending on the recognition of emotion. It is a media to tell one's closer the emotion with privacy-concern. Cura is simple and nature so that human transmit the emotion directly. Furthermore, Cura also keeps the private of the emotion information. It leaves the decision to user themselves with who he/she shares the emotion.Acknowledgments ii Abstract v List of Figures xii List of Tables xiv Chapter 1 Introduction 1 1.1 Motivation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 1.2 Research Objectives . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 Chapter 2 Related Work 5 2.1 View from Psychology . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 2.1.1 Emotion Models . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 2.1.2 Characteristics and Roles of emotion . . . . . . . . . . . . 9 2.2 Recognition in Artificial Intelligence . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9 2.2.1 Emotion Recognition . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 2.2.2 Physiological Signals . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 13 2.2.3 Learning Methods . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 18 2.3 Relevance of Emotion Research for Affective Computing . . . . . 22 2.3.1 Evaluation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 22 2.3.2 Health Care . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 23 2.3.3 Education and Tutor System . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 24 Chapter 3 Problem Definition 26 3.1 System Overview . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 27 3.2 System Focus . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 29 3.2.1 Sensor Data from Physiological Signals . . . . . . . . . . . 29 3.2.2 Emotion States . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 31 3.2.3 Hypothesis . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 31 3.3 Proposed Solution . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 32 Chapter 4 Experiment 36 4.1 Mood Induction and Data Collection . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 37 4.2 Feature Extraction and Learning . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 38 4.3 Results . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 40 4.3.1 The Result of Emotion Recognition . . . . . . . . . . . . . 41 4.3.2 The Result from the Decision Tree . . . . . . . . . . . . . 42 4.3.3 Importance of Sensor Data . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 43 4.3.4 Cross Person Recognition Result . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 44 4.3.5 Summary . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 45 Chapter 5 Application 47 5.1 The Idea . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 47 5.2 Cura . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 48 5.2.1 Structure of Cura . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 49 5.2.2 Patterns in Cura . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 50 5.2.3 Result . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 50 5.3 Music Service Providing . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 51 Chapter 6 Conclusion 53 Bibliography 56 Appendix A Experiment Design Document 61 A.1 Preparing . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 61 A.2 Methodology . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 62 A.2.1 Equipment Set Up . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 62 A.2.2 Overview of the Whole Process . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 62 A.2.3 Detail Description . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 64 Appendix B Questionnaire for Mood Induction 70 B.1 Self Evaluation Form for Sad . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 70 B.2 Self Evaluation Form for Anger . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 71 B.3 Self Evaluation Form for Fear . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 71 B.4 Self Evaluation Form for Happy . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 72 B.5 Self Evaluation Form for Personal Information . . . . . . . . . . . 7

    對於競爭型位能的量子力學系統,傳統上都是用微擾理論的級數近似解,但有可能此級數無法收斂,諸如此類問題,本研究室發展基於分離能量的全新方法,而非像是微擾理論的分解位能項。此方法是分離動能項裡的質量,我們稱此方法為分離動能法(Kinetic Energy Partition (KEP)),此方法不像是按照傳統方式把位能分成&quot;&quot;微擾項&quot;&quot;與&quot;&quot;非微擾項&quot;&quot;,因為在競爭型位能下,無法區分哪個位能為&quot;&quot;微擾項&quot;&quot;與&quot;&quot;非微擾項&quot;&quot;。分離後的動能項分別對應一個位能使形成子漢米爾頓系統,所以此系統的總漢米爾頓可拆解成個別的子系統漢米爾頓相加,總波函數可以由個別子漢米爾頓系統所對應的波函數線性疊加而成。 直覺上可以先把質量都分解成兩個正質量的動能項,此結構比較符合物理,在此我們有利用五個例子來驗證,把動能項裡的質量拆解成兩個都是正質量的粒子是否可行,利用分離動能法所得到的能量與波函數,會與正合解的能量與波函數作為比較。五個例子分別為:雙負delta函數位能、三負delta函數位能、簡諧振子在無限深位能井、氫原子模型、一維史塔克效應,利用分離動能法可以精準解出,簡諧振子在無限深位能井的基態與第一激發態能量,比某些微擾展開方法解來得更精準,氫原子模型與一維史塔克效應,利用分離動能法則須搭配某些邊界條件,則可解出與正合解基態能量誤差不到5%的精準度,對於兩個或兩個以上的競爭型負delta函數來說,分離動能法在delta函數脈衝較小情況下也是精準的。 按照數學上分析,也可以把質量拆解成一個正質量與一個負質量,只要質量總合不變即可,負質量項的動能項搭配一項位能使形成子漢米爾頓系統,在某些位能下,漢米爾頓系統沒有束縛解,但是因為負質量關係,使得位能函數顛倒(對x軸鏡射),而得到束縛解,我們利用四個例子來驗證:反對稱delta函數位能、正delta函數在無限深位能井、氦原子模型、一維氦原子,delta函數位能因為波函數簡單,且只有一個能量即為基態能量,對於KEP方法來說相當簡單,對於正delta函數位能是沒有束縛解,但利用分離動能法使得其中一項動能為負,得到E&gt;0之束縛態。對於氦原子來說,是個最簡單的多體物理模型,也是許多多體理論裡的基礎例子,氦原子中有一項庫倫排斥能ke^{2}/r_{12},因庫倫排斥能沒有束縛解,則可以利用負質量只得位能變為負值,是得能量有束縛解,利用分離動能法各個子漢米爾頓系統的波函數各取一個(基態波函數),再利用橢圓座標轉換,可計算出氦原子基態能量為-70.2541eV,與實驗值-79.0143eV相差不遠,利用最佳化方法可得到基態能量為-78.9985eV則與實驗值非常接近。一維氦原子為簡化雙座標系統積分的近似,也可提供一維化學實驗的理論背景,而我們也利用KEP方法分析一維氦原子。For quantum systems with competing potentials, the conventional perturbation theory often yields an asymptotic series and the subsequent numerical outcome becomes uncertain. To tackle such kind of problems, we develop a general solution scheme based on a new energy dissection idea. Instead of dividing the potential energy into &quot;&quot;unperturbed&quot;&quot; and &quot;&quot;perturbed&quot;&quot; terms, a partition of the kinetic energy is performed. By distributing the kinetic energy term in part into each individual potential, the Hamiltonian can be expressed as the sum of the subsystem Hamiltonians with respective competing potentials. The total wavefunction is expanded by using a linear combination of the basis sets of respective subsystem Hamiltonians. We first illustrate the solution procedure using a simple system consisting of a particle under the action of double delta -function potentials and triple delta -function potentials . Next, this method is applied to harmonic oscillator in the infinite potential box , the hydrogen atom and 1D Stark effect. Compared with the exact solution, this new scheme converges much faster to the exact solutions for both eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. When properly extended, this new solution scheme can be very useful for dealing with strongly coupling quantum systems. In the mathematical allowed, we can shall dividing mass with &quot;&quot;negative&quot;&quot; term and &quot;&quot;positive&quot;&quot; term. Then the total Hamiltonian is conserved. Some kind of Hamiltonian system didn''t have discrete energy solution. But introduce with negative mass, we can regard as the potential energy inverse of x-axes. So the Hamiltonian system can be solved. We have 4 case to illustrate this method. The first case is antisymmetry delta -function potentials, this is a simply case to explain how to apply &quot;&quot;negative&quot;&quot; mass in the quantum system. The second case is &quot;&quot;positive&quot;&quot; $delta -function potential in the infinite potential box. The third case is Helium atom, we used negative mass to solved the electron repulsive potential energy. Optimize Helium system position we get -78.965eV Helium ground state energy, just 0.02% error with experimental value. The last case is 1D helium atom, it is a mathematical model. This model can reduce the double system integration, so there is a very persuasive example

    隨著對無線通訊頻寬需求的升高,低成本高效能的微波積體電路的發展也漸趨熱門。傳統上,由於較好的元件特性,高頻積體電路多利用III-V半導體製程和SiGe BiCMOS製程實現。CMOS製程擁有低成本及高度整合性的優勢,似乎非常適合作此種電路的應用。然而,由於嚴重的基板損耗及較差的高頻特性,利用CMOS製程來實現這樣的系統,仍舊是項挑戰。因此,本論文將描述CMOS製程在設計高頻電路時的一些設計考量,接著提出不同的電路技巧來實現。 首先,本論文將介紹一應用於24-GHz之0.18-&micro;m CMOS 傳送端/接收端切換器。為了提高關閉時的隔離度,提出ㄧ增加隔離度之電路技巧,藉由增加一額外開關,可有較佳的隔離度及合理的穿透損耗。此外,採用阻抗轉換的技巧來提升功率特性。量測結果顯示此單刀雙擲切換器在24-GHz可達到2.5-dB的穿透損耗及20-dB的隔離度,同時輸入及輸出反射損耗皆大於14-dB。且因採用阻抗轉換技巧,此切換器之輸入P1dB為24.2-dBm。 接著,本論文提出ㄧ應用於24-GHz之接收機架構。採用CMOS 0.18-&micro;m製程,此接收機前端電路整合了低雜訊放大器、混波器及中頻放大器而擁有良好的轉換增益及低雜訊表現。量測結果顯示,在中頻頻率為4.82-GHz的情況下,此電路擁有28.4-dB的轉換增益及6-dB的雜訊,同時輸入反射損耗大於14-dB;而輸入P1dB及IIP3分別為-23.2及-13.0-dBm。在1.8-V的工作電壓下,功率消耗為54mW。 最後介紹一個適用於之前提出之24-GHz接收機架構之本地信號產生器。該電路由ㄧ19-GHz低相位雜訊壓控振盪器、除四除頻器、及相位調整器構成。藉由雜訊濾除技巧及電容回授以增加gm,可有效降低振盪器相位雜訊。此外,信號經除四除頻器及相位調整器調整後,可提供精準的四相位信號。As the demands for wider bandwidth in wireless communication continue to expand, the development of low-cost and high-performance monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) have attracted great attention. Conventionally, the high-frequency integrated circuits were realized by III-V compound semiconductor and SiGe BiCMOS process due to their superior device performance. Owing to unparalleled advantages in both fabrication cost and denser integration, the CMOS technology appears to be well suited to implement these designs. However, it still remains a challenge for such RF building blocks to be integrated in a standard CMOS process due to its significant substrate losses and inferior high-frequency properties of the active devices. Consequently, this thesis describes the design consideration of the CMOS process for the individual building blocks then presents several novel circuit techniques to reach the requirements for the system designs. First, a transmit/receive (T/R) switch for the 24-GHz ISM band application implemented in a standard 0.18-m CMOS process is demonstrated. A technique to enhance the isolation performance is proposed for the T/R switch. Reasonable isolation and insertion loss are achieved with an additional switch. Besides, impedance transformation networks (ITNs) is utilized to reduce the source and load impedance seen from the switch to increase the power handling capability. The fabricated SPDT (single-pole double-throw) switch at 24-GHz exhibits an insertion loss of 2.5 dB and an isolation of 20 dB while maintaining an input and output return loss better than 14 dB and 19 dB, respectively. Owing to the use of the ITNs, the measured Pin-1dB of the switch is 24.2 dBm. Secondly, a receiver architecture is presented for operations at the 24-GHz frequency band. By monolithically integrating the LNA, the down-conversion mixer and the IF amplifiers, the receiver frontend is realized in a 0.18-m CMOS process, exhibiting enhanced circuit performance in terms of conversion gain and noise figure. With an IF frequency of 4.82-GHz, the fabricated circuit demonstrates a conversion gain of 28.4 dB and a noise figure of 6.0 dB while maintaining an input return loss better than 14 dB. The measured Pin-1dB and IIP3 of the receiver frontend are -23.2 and -13.0 dBm, respectively. The power consumption for the receiver frontend is 54mW at a supply voltage of 1.8 V,. Finally, a signal generator which provides the required LO outputs for the proposed receiver architecture is presented. The proposed LO generator consists of a 19-GHz low-phase-noise voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), a 4:1 frequency divider and a quadrature phase tuning circuit. With a noise filtering technique and gm-boosting capacitive feedback, the VCO exhibits low phase noise with adequate frequency tuning range. Besides, an interpolation technique, which is originally developed for ring oscillators, is adopted for the phase tuning the quadrature signal provided by the frequency divider to obtain accurate phases.Table of Contents Chapter1 Introduction 1 1.1 Motivation 1 1.2 Overview of the thesis 2 Chapter2 RF Receiver Fundamentals 3 2.1 Linearity 3 2.1.1 Gain Compression 4 2.1.2 Input-referred Third Order Intercept Point (IIP3) 5 2.1.3 Input-referred Second Order Intercept Point (IIP2) 7 2.2 Noise Figure 7 2.3 Sensitivity 9 2.4 Dynamic Range 10 2.5 Receiver Architectures 12 2.5.1 Superheterodyne Receiver 12 2.5.2 Direct-Conversion Receiver 14 2.5.3 Low-IF Receiver 16 2.5.4 Wideband-IF Receiver 17 2.5.5 Half-IF Receiver 18 2.6 Design Challenges of High Frequency Operation 20 Chapter 3 A 24-GHz Fully Integrated Single-Pole Double-Throw Switch in a 0.18-m CMOS Process 23 3.1 Introduction 23 3.2 The Proposed Isolation-Enhanced Switch 24 3.2.1 Isolation issue 24 3.2.2 The Proposed Isolation-Enhanced Technique 28 3.3 Circuit Design 31 3.4 The Experimental Results 34 3.5 Conclusion 37 Chapter 4 CMOS Wireless Receiver Front-End for 24-GHz ISM band Applications 39 4.1 Introduction 39 4.2 The Proposed Receiver Architecture 40 4.3 The Proposed Receiver Design 43 4.3.1 The Low-Noise Amplifier 43 4.3.2 The Mixer and the IF Amplifiers 47 4.4 The Experimental Results 51 4.5 Conclusion 54 Chapter 5 CMOS LO Signal Generator for 24-GHz Receiver Applications 57 5.1 Introduction 57 5.2 The Proposed LO Signal Generator Architecture 58 5.3 The Proposed LO Signal Generator Design 62 5.3.1 The Voltage-Controlled Oscillator 62 5.3.2 The Divide-by-Four Circuit with Phase Tuning 65 5.3.3 The testing passive mixer 69 5.4 The simulation results and measurement setup 70 5.4.1 The simulation results 70 5.4.2 The measurement setups 72 5.5 Discussion and Conclusion 74 Chapter 6 Conclusion 7

    刑事被告享有對質詰問權,乃是普世價值之基本人權,歐洲人權公約第6條第3項d款及聯合國公民及政治權利公約第14條第3項f款皆有明文規定,主要是作為被告的程序參與權,在確保被告在程序中有主動的參與地位,免於淪為程序客體,然而各國對於對質詰問權的保障皆存有不同程度規範,究竟質問權保障範圍及限制的界限是否有一跨國性的標準得以遵循?當質問權的行使與證人的利益衝突時,應如何在二者間取得平衡,方不至侵害被告的質問權,影響公平程序的進行,皆為本文研究重點。歐洲人權法院關於對質詰問權的保障作出為數不少的裁判,更整合了歐洲不同法系間的相異規範,建立對質詰問權保障的歐洲標準,本文從比較法的觀點,以歐洲人權法院及歐洲人權委員會裁判為研究對象進行案例的分析,歸納對質詰問權保障的跨國性標準,並以英國及德國為例,說明質問保障的歐洲標準如何影響英國傳聞法則的操作,以及德國偵查中被告質問權的強化和證人保護措施的使用界限。國最高法院對於傳聞法則的操作,因欠缺質問例外的審查標準,故認為只要存在第159條之3的質問障礙事由,又符合傳聞例外不同程度的可信性及必要性要件,系爭未經質問的證詞即得例外作為證據使用,然而單純將傳聞例外的可信性或必要性作為質問例外,將導致被告質問權的侵害;其次,最高法院對於第159條之5的運用,未區分被告是否有辯護人的協助,即以被告未對證人審判外的陳述異議或未聲請傳喚證人,逕而認定被告拋棄質問權的行使,則產生不當減輕法院傳訊證人的調查義務,亦對無辯護人被告保障不足等問題;又當被告質問權的行使與證人的權利發生衝突時,釋字第636號解釋雖已明確指出必須考量採取其他限制較輕微之手段,例如以隔離方式為對質詰問,惟最高法院仍未能依釋字第636號之精神,具體在個案中審查是否有限制質問權行使之必要?有限制質問權行使之必要時,應優先考量哪些措施?因缺乏對次佳防禦措施優先性的審查標準,造成事實上其實尚存在其他較佳的防禦措施可以採行,卻捨棄不用而逕以對被告防禦權侵害較大的方式,作為證人訊問程序替代方案,實已不當侵害被告的質問權行使。針對上述問題,本文以歐洲人權法院所建立的質問權保障標準,及英國與德國如何以其標準調校內國實務操作為借鏡,認為應以質問權保障的審查標準取代我國傳聞例外的操作,避免傳聞法則的運用對被告造成質問權侵害。It is the basic international human right that the accused has the right to confront the witness against him, which is regulated in European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms Article 6-3-d and International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights 14-3-f. However, the norms of the right to confront witnesses in every country are varying in degrees, whether a transnational standard of the protection and limitation of the right of confrontation exists to comply with? There are a large number of judgments of European Court of Human Rights(ECHR) regarding to the right of confrontation and ECHR integrats different legal systems in Europe between the different norms, then also establishes the European standard of the right of confrontation. This essay analyses the case law of ECHR and the European Commission of Human Rights(EComHR), then generalizes a transnational standard of the protection of the right to confront witnesses. Moreover, it uses the United Kingdom and Germany as examples to show how this standard affects the operation of the British rule of hearsay, as well as the right to confront witnesses in investigation stage and the limits of using witness protection measures in Germany.s to native law, the operation of the hearsay rule in Taiwan arises several problems. Due to a lack of standard of exceptions to the right of confrontation, the Supreme Court thinks exceptions of the hearsay rule are equal to exceptions of the right of confrontation, however, simply the credibility and necessity of the testimony, which are the elements of the exception of hearsay rule(§§159-1~159-3), are not enough to become the standard of exception to the right of confrontation. Besides, in what situation could be considered that the accused waives his right to confront witnesses? The application of §159-5 results in not only reducing the obligations of the court to summon witnesses, but also providing not enough protection to the accused who has no assistance of counsel. In addition, when the right of the witness conflicts with the right of the accused, the Supreme Court does not examine whether the relevant and sufficient reason to restrict confrontation exists or not, as well as what witness protection measures should be given priority. In response to these issues, this essay refers to the European standard of the right of confrontation established by ECHR and considers that we should use the standard of the protection of the right to confront witnesses to replace exceptions of the hearsay rule in practice for avoiding the violation of accused’s right to confront witnesses.第一章 緒論 1一節 研究動機與問題意識 1一項 刑事訴訟法傳聞例外之運用 1一款 傳聞例外等於對質詰問例外? 1二款 偵查中質問權保障的架空 2三款 被告未聲請傳喚證人等於質問權的拋棄? 3二項 證人保護與被告質問權的衝突 4二節 研究方法與本文架構 5一項 研究方法、對象及範圍 5二項 本文架構 6三節 用語說明 7二章 對質詰問權的保障範圍 9一節 概說 9一項 規範基礎 9二項 被告質問權的本質及保障目的 9二節 法理基礎:武器平等與對審程序 10一項 武器平等原則 10一款 在刑事程序體制框架內的當事人平等 11二款 相同的程序參與機會 12二項 對審程序 12三節 對質詰問的對象 13一項 歐洲人權法院-自主性解釋的證人概念 13二項 美國聯邦最高法院-Crawford v.

    Eyeriss: A Spatial Architecture for Energy-Efficient Dataflow for Convolutional Neural Networks

    Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are widely used in modern AI systems for their superior accuracy but at the cost of high computational complexity. The complexity comes from the need to simultaneously process hundreds of filters and channels in the high-dimensional convolutions, which involve a significant amount of data movement. Although highly-parallel compute paradigms, such as SIMD/SIMT, effectively address the computation requirement to achieve high throughput, energy consumption still remains high as data movement can be more expensive than computation. Accordingly, finding a dataflow that supports parallel processing with minimal data movement cost is crucial to achieving energy-efficient CNN processing without compromising accuracy. In this paper, we present a novel dataflow, called row-stationary (RS), that minimizes data movement energy consumption on a spatial architecture. This is realized by exploiting local data reuse of filter weights and feature map pixels, i.e., activations, in the high-dimensional convolutions, and minimizing data movement of partial sum accumulations. Unlike dataflows used in existing designs, which only reduce certain types of data movement, the proposed RS dataflow can adapt to different CNN shape configurations and reduces all types of data movement through maximally utilizing the processing engine (PE) local storage, direct inter-PE communication and spatial parallelism. To evaluate the energy efficiency of the different dataflows, we propose an analysis framework that compares energy cost under the same hardware area and processing parallelism constraints. Experiments using the CNN configurations of AlexNet show that the proposed RS dataflow is more energy efficient than existing dataflows in both convolutional (1.4x to 2.5x) and fully-connected layers (at least 1.3x for batch size larger than 16). The RS dataflow has also been demonstrated on a fabricated chip, which verifies our energy analysis

    Deep learning using convolutional neural networks (CNN) gives state-of-the-art accuracy on many computer vision tasks (e.g. object detection, recognition, segmentation). Convolutions account for over 90% of the processing in CNNs for both inference/testing and training, and fully convolutional networks are increasingly being used. To achieve state-of-the-art accuracy requires CNNs with not only a larger number of layers, but also millions of filters weights, and varying shapes (i.e. filter sizes, number of filters, number of channels) as shown in Fig. 14.5.1. For instance, AlexNet [1] uses 2.3 million weights (4.6MB of storage) and requires 666 million MACs per 227×227 image (13kMACs/pixel). VGG16 [2] uses 14.7 million weights (29.4MB of storage) and requires 15.3 billion MACs per 224×224 image (306kMACs/pixel). The large number of filter weights and channels results in substantial data movement, which consumes significant energy.United States.
