Abstract This work proposes a novel approach for the classification of interictal and preictal brain states based on bispectrum analysis and recurrent Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural networks. Two features were first extracted from bilateral intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) recordings of dogs with naturally occurring focal epilepsy. Single-layer LSTM networks were trained to classify 5-min long feature vectors as preictal or interictal. Classification performances were compared to previous work involving multilayer perceptron networks and higher-order spectral (HOS) features on the same dataset. The proposed LSTM network proved superior to the multilayer perceptron network and achieved an average classification accuracy of 86.29% on held-out data. Results imply the possibility of forecasting epileptic seizures using recurrent neural networks, with minimal feature extraction.

AbstractThis paper reports on the evaluation of recurrent and convolutional neural networks as real-time grasp phase classifiers for future control of neuroprostheses for people with high spinal cord injury. A field-programmable gate array has been chosen as an implementation platform due to its form factor and ability to perform parallel computations, which are specific for the selected neural networks. Three different phases of two grasp patterns and the additional open hand pattern were predicted by means of surface Electromyography (EMG) signals (i.e. Seven classes in total). Across seven healthy subjects, CNN (Convolutional Neural Networks) and RNN (Recurrent Neural Networks) had a mean accuracy of 85.23% with a standard deviation of 4.77% and 112 µs per prediction and 83.30% with a standard deviation of 4.36% and 40 µs per prediction, respectively.

Abstract: The aim here is to explore the methods to automate the labelling of the information that is present in bug trackers and client support systems. This is majorly based on the classification of the content depending on some criteria e.g., priority or product area. Labelling of the tickets is important as it helps in effective and efficient handling of the ticket and help is quicker and comprehensive resolution of the tickets. The main goal of the project is to analyze the existing methodologies used for automated labelling and then use a newer approach and compare the results. The existing methodologies are the ones which are based of the neural networks and without neural networks. In this project, a newer approach based on the recurrent neural networks which are based on the hierarchical attention paradigm will be used. Keywords: Automate Labeling, Recurrent Neural Networks, Hierarchical Attention, Multi-class Text Classification, GRU

After the advent of Web, the number of people who abandoned traditional media channels and started receiving news only through social media has increased. However, this caused an increase of the spread of fake news due to the ease of sharing information. The consequences are various, with one of the main ones being the possible attempts to manipulate public opinion for elections or promotion of movements that can damage rule of law or the institutions that represent it. The objective of this work is to perform fake news detection using Distributed Representations and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs). Although fake news detection using RNNs has been already explored in the literature, there is little research on the processing of texts in Portuguese language, which is the focus of this work. For this purpose, distributed representations from texts are generated with three different algorithms (fastText, GloVe and word2vec) and used as input features for a Long Short-term Memory Network (LSTM). The approach is evaluated using a publicly available labelled news dataset. The proposed approach shows promising results for all the three distributed representation methods for feature extraction, with the combination word2vec+LSTM providing the best results. The results of the proposed approach shows a better classification performance when compared to simple architectures, while similar results are obtained when the approach is compared to deeper architectures or more complex methods.
