Many countries worldwide have poor air quality due to the emission of particulate matter (i.e., PM10 and PM2.5), which has led to concerns about human health impacts in urban areas. In this study, we developed models to predict fine PM concentrations using long short-term memory (LSTM) and deep autoencoder (DAE) methods, and compared the model results in terms of root mean square error (RMSE). We applied the models to hourly air quality data from 25 stations in Seoul, South Korea, for the period from 1 January 2015, to 31 December 2018. Fine PM concentrations were predicted for the 10 days following this period, at an optimal learning rate of 0.01 for 100 epochs with batch sizes of 32 for LSTM model, and DAEs model performed best with batch size 64. The proposed models effectively predicted fine PM concentrations, with the LSTM model showing slightly better performance. With our forecasting model, it is possible to give reliable fine dust prediction information for the area where the user is located.

Fake news detection on job advertisements has grabbed the attention of many researchers over past decade. Various classifiers such as Support Vector Machine (SVM), XGBoost Classifier and Random Forest (RF) methods are greatly utilized for fake and real news detection pertaining to job advertisement posts in social media. Bi-Directional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) classifier is greatly utilized for learning word representations in lower-dimensional vector space and learning significant words word embedding or terms revealed through Word embedding algorithm. The fake news detection is greatly achieved along with real news on job post from online social media is achieved by Bi-LSTM classifier and thereby evaluating corresponding performance. The performance metrics such as Precision, Recall, F1-score, and Accuracy are assessed for effectiveness by fraudulency based on job posts. The outcome infers the effectiveness and prominence of features for detecting false news. .

Social media provides opportunities for individuals to anonymously communicate and express hateful feelings and opinions at the comfort of their rooms. This anonymity has become a shield for many individuals or groups who use social media to express deep hatred for other individuals or groups, tribes or race, religion, gender, as well as belief systems. In this study, a comparative analysis is performed using Long Short-Term Memory and Convolutional Neural Network deep learning techniques for Hate Speech classification. This analysis demonstrates that the Long Short-Term Memory classifier achieved an accuracy of 92.47%, while the Convolutional Neural Network classifier achieved an accuracy of 92.74%. These results showed that deep learning techniques can effectively classify hate speech from normal speech.

Due to the increasingly serious air pollution problem, air quality prediction has been an important approach for air pollution control and prevention. Many prediction methods have been proposed in recent years to improve the prediction accuracy. However, most of the existing methods either did not consider the spatial relationships between monitoring stations or overlooked the strength of the correlation. Excluding the spatial correlation or including too much weak spatial inputs could influence the modeling and reduce the prediction accuracy. To overcome the limitation, this paper proposes a correlation filtered spatial-temporal long short-term memory (CFST-LSTM) model for air quality prediction. The model is designed based on the original LSTM model and is equipped with a spatial-temporal filter (STF) layer. This layer not only takes into account the spatial influence between stations, but also can extract highly correlated sequential data and drop weaker ones. To evaluate the proposed CFST-LSTM model, hourly PM2.5 concentration data of California are collected and preprocessed. Several experiments are conducted. The experimental results show that the CFST-LSTM model can effectively improve the prediction accuracy and has great generalization.
