AbstractContinuous vital signal monitoring is becoming more relevant in preventing diseases that afflict a large part of the world’s population; for this reason, healthcare equipment should be easy to wear and simple to use. Non-intrusive and non-invasive detection methods are a basic requirement for wearable medical devices, especially when these are used in sports applications or by the elderly for self-monitoring. Arterial blood pressure (ABP) is an essential physiological parameter for health monitoring. Most blood pressure measurement devices determine the systolic and diastolic arterial blood pressure through the inflation and the deflation of a cuff. This technique is uncomfortable for the user and may result in anxiety, and consequently affect the blood pressure and its measurement. The purpose of this paper is the continuous measurement of the ABP through a cuffless, non-intrusive approach. The approach of this paper is based on deep learning techniques where several neural networks are used to infer ABP, starting from photoplethysmogram (PPG) and electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. The ABP was predicted first by utilizing only PPG and then by using both PPG and ECG. Convolutional neural networks (ResNet and WaveNet) and recurrent neural networks (LSTM) were compared and analyzed for the regression task. Results show that the use of the ECG has resulted in improved performance for every proposed configuration. The best performing configuration was obtained with a ResNet followed by three LSTM layers: this led to a mean absolute error (MAE) of 4.118 mmHg on and 2.228 mmHg on systolic and diastolic blood pressures, respectively. The results comply with the American National Standards of the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation. ECG, PPG, and ABP measurements were extracted from the MIMIC database, which contains clinical signal data reflecting real measurements. The results were validated on a custom dataset created at Neuronica Lab, Politecnico di Torino.

Abstract The approaches of building and methods of using the digital core are currently developing rapidly. The use of these methods makes it possible to obtain petrophysical information by non-destructive methods quickly. Digital rock physics includes two main stages: constructing models and modeling various physical processes on the obtained models. Our work proposes using deep learning methods for mineral and pore space segmentation instead of classical methods such as threshold image processing. Deep neural networks have long been able to show their advantages in many areas of computer vision. This paper proposes and tests methods that help identify different minerals in images from a scanning electron microscope. We used images of rocks of the Achimov formation, which are arkoses, as samples. We tested various deep neural networks such as LinkNet, U-Net, ResUNet, and pix2pix and identified those that performed best in segmentation.


In late years, critical learning methodologies especially Convolutional Neural Networks have been utilized in different solicitations. CNN's have appeared to be a key capacity to ordinarily expel broad volumes of data from massive information. The uses of CNNs have inside and out ended up being useful especially in orchestrating ordinary pictures. Regardless, there have been essential obstacles in executing the CNNs in a restorative zone as a result of the nonattendance of genuine getting ready data. Consequently, general imaging benchmarks, for instance, Image Net have been conspicuously used in the restorative not too zone notwithstanding the way that they are perfect when appeared differently about the CNNs. In this paper, a comparative examination of LeNet, AlexNet, and GoogLeNet has been done. Starting there, the paper has proposed an improved hypothetical structure for requesting helpful life structures pictures using CNNs. In perspective on the proposed structure of the framework, the CNNs building are required to beat the previous three plans in requesting remedial pictures.

Pattern classification is related with the automatic finding of regularities in dataset through the utilization of various learning techniques. Thus, the classification of the objects into a set of categories or classes is provided. This study is undertaken to evaluate deep learning methodologies to the classification of stock patterns. In order to classify patterns that are obtained from stock charts, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and long-short term memory networks (LSTMs) are employed. To demonstrate the efficiency of proposed model in categorizing patterns, hand-crafted image dataset is constructed from stock charts in Istanbul Stock Exchange and NASDAQ Stock Exchange. Experimental results show that the usage of convolutional neural networks exhibits superior classification success in recognizing patterns compared to the other deep learning methodologies.

<p>Machine learning is being presented as a new solution for a wide range of geoscience problems. Primarily machine learning has been used for 3D seismic data processing, seismic facies analysis and well log data correlation. The rapid development in technology with open-source artificial intelligence libraries and the accessibility of affordable computer graphics processing units (GPU) makes the application of machine learning in geosciences increasingly tractable. However, the application of artificial intelligence in structural interpretation workflows of subsurface datasets is still ambiguous. This study aims to use machine learning techniques to classify images of folds and fold-thrust structures. Here we show that convolutional neural networks (CNNs) as supervised deep learning techniques provide excellent algorithms to discriminate between geological image datasets. Four different datasets of images have been used to train and test the machine learning models. These four datasets are a seismic character dataset with five classes (faults, folds, salt, flat layers and basement), folds types with three classes (buckle, chevron and conjugate), fault types with three classes (normal, reverse and thrust) and fold-thrust geometries with three classes (fault bend fold, fault propagation fold and detachment fold). These image datasets are used to investigate three machine learning models. One Feedforward linear neural network model and two convolutional neural networks models (Convolution 2d layer transforms sequential model and Residual block model (ResNet with 9, 34, and 50 layers)). Validation and testing datasets forms a critical part of testing the model’s performance accuracy. The ResNet model records the highest performance accuracy score, of the machine learning models tested. Our CNN image classification model analysis provides a framework for applying machine learning to increase structural interpretation efficiency, and shows that CNN classification models can be applied effectively to geoscience problems. The study provides a starting point to apply unsupervised machine learning approaches to sub-surface structural interpretation workflows.</p>

In recent years, different deep learning techniques were applied to segment aerial and satellite images. Nevertheless, state of the art techniques for land cover segmentation does not provide accurate results to be used in real applications. This is a problem faced by institutions and companies that want to replace time-consuming and exhausting human work with AI technology. In this work, we propose a method that combines deep learning with a human-in-the-loop strategy to achieve expert-level results at a low cost. We use a neural network to segment the images. In parallel, another network is used to measure uncertainty for predicted pixels. Finally, we combine these neural networks with a human-in-the-loop approach to produce correct predictions as if developed by human photointerpreters. Applying this methodology shows that we can increase the accuracy of land cover segmentation tasks while decreasing human intervention.

This paper proposes an automatic driving system based on a combination of modular neural networks processing human driving data. Research on automatic driving vehicles has been actively conducted in recent years. Machine learning techniques are often utilized to realize an automatic driving system capable of imitating human driving operations. Almost all of them adopt a large monolithic learning module, as typified by deep learning. However, it is inefficient to use a monolithic deep learning module to learn human driving operations (accelerating, braking, and steering) using the visual information obtained from a human driving a vehicle. We propose combining a series of modular neural networks that independently learn visual feature quantities, routes, and driving maneuvers from human driving data, thereby imitating human driving operations and efficiently learning a plurality of routes. This paper demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method through experiments using a small vehicle.


Newspaper articles offer us insights on several news. They can be one of many categories like sports, politics, Science and Technology etc. Text classification is a need of the day as large uncategorized data is the problem everywhere. Through this study, We intend to compare several algorithms along with data preprocessing approaches to classify the newspaper articles into their respective categories. Convolutional Neural Networks(CNN) is a deep learning approach which is currently a strong competitor to other classification algorithms like SVM, Naive Bayes and KNN. We hence intend to implement Convolutional Neural Networks - a deep learning approach to classify our newspaper articles, develop an understanding of all the algorithms implemented and compare their results. We also attempt to compare the training time, prediction time and accuracies of all the algorithms.
