Machine Learning Approach

Abstract A data-based machine learning approach is proposed to study the properties of time resolution of RPC detectors by measuring the time of flight of cosmic muons. This method utilises a multi-layer perceptron and a type of recurrent neural network called long short-term memory. The neural network is trained with the waveforms of RPC signals digitized by an oscilloscope at a sampling frequency of 10 GHz and a 2 GHz bandwidth. A data augmentation approach is implemented for labelling. Compared to the results from conventional waveform analysis, this approach achieves a better time resolution of 1-mm gap RPCs. Based on the data, the approach has a generalisation capacity for performance studies of other timing detectors.

AbstractWe study the approximation of backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs for short) with a constraint on the gains process. We first discretize the constraint by applying a so-called facelift operator at times of a grid. We show that this discretely constrained BSDE converges to the continuously constrained one as the mesh grid converges to zero. We then focus on the approximation of the discretely constrained BSDE. For that we adopt a machine learning approach. We show that the facelift can be approximated by an optimization problem over a class of neural networks under constraints on the neural network and its derivative. We then derive an algorithm converging to the discretely constrained BSDE as the number of neurons goes to infinity. We end by numerical experiments.

Machine Learning Approach

In this paper, we present the estimation of surface NO2 concentrations over Germany using a machine learning approach. TROPOMI satellite observations of tropospheric NO2 vertical column densities (VCDs) and several meteorological parameters are used to train the neural network model for the prediction of surface NO2 concentrations. The neural network model is validated against ground-based in situ air quality monitoring network measurements and regional chemical transport model (CTM) simulations. Neural network estimation of surface NO2 concentrations show good agreement with in situ monitor data with Pearson correlation coefficient (R) of 0.80. The results also show that the machine learning approach is performing better than regional CTM simulations in predicting surface NO2 concentrations. We also performed a sensitivity analysis for each input parameter of the neural network model. The validated neural network model is then used to estimate surface NO2 concentrations over Germany from 2018 to 2020. Estimated surface NO2 concentrations are used to investigate the spatio-temporal characteristics, such as seasonal and weekly variations of NO2 in Germany. The estimated surface NO2 concentrations provide comprehensive information of NO2 spatial distribution which is very useful for exposure estimation. We estimated the annual average NO2 exposure for 2018, 2019 and 2020 is 15.53, 15.24 and 13.27 µµg/m3, respectively. While the annual average NO2 concentration of 2018, 2019 and 2020 is only 12.79, 12.60 and 11.15 µµg/m3. In addition, we used the surface NO2 data set to investigate the impacts of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on ambient NO2 levels in Germany. In general, 10–30% lower surface NO2 concentrations are observed in 2020 compared to 2018 and 2019, indicating the significant impacts of a series of restriction measures to reduce the spread of the virus.

Area Of Concern

Extracting the sentiment of the text using machine learning techniques like LSTM is our area of concern. Classifying the movie reviews using LSTM is our problem statement. The reviews dataset is taken from the IMDB movie review dataset. Here we will classify a review based on the memory in the neural network of a LSTM cell state. Movie reviews often contain sensible content which describe the movie. We can manually decide whether a movie is good or bad by going through these reviews. Using machine learning approach we are classifying the movie reviews such that we can say that a movie is good or bad. LSTM is effective than many other techniques like RNN and CNN.

BACKGROUND In recent days, Covid-19 coronavirus has been an immense impact on social, economic fields in the world. The objective of this study determines if it is feasible to use machine learning method to evaluate how much prediction results are close to original data related to Confirmed-Negative-Released-Death cases of Covid-19. For this purpose, a verification method is proposed in this paper that uses the concept of Deep-learning Neural Network. In this framework, Long short-term memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) are also assimilated finally for training the dataset and the prediction results are tally with the results predicted by clinical doctors. The prediction results are validated against the original data based on some predefined metric. The experimental results showcase that the proposed approach is useful in generating suitable results based on the critical disease outbreak. It also helps doctors to recheck further verification of virus by the proposed method. The outbreak of Coronavirus has the nature of exponential growth and so it is difficult to control with limited clinical persons for handling a huge number of patients with in a reasonable time. So it is necessary to build an automated model, based on machine learning approach, for corrective measure after the decision of clinical doctors. It could be a promising supplementary confirmation method for frontline clinical doctors. The proposed method has a high prediction rate and works fast for probable accurate identification of the disease. The performance analysis shows that a high rate of accuracy is obtained by the proposed method. OBJECTIVE Validation of COVID-19 disease METHODS Machine Learning RESULTS 90% CONCLUSIONS The combined LSTM-GRU based RNN model provides a comparatively better results in terms of prediction of confirmed, released, negative, death cases on the data. This paper presented a novel method that could recheck occurred cases of COVID-19 automatically. The data driven RNN based model is capable of providing automated tool for confirming, estimating the current position of this pandemic, assessing the severity, and assisting government and health workers to act for good decision making policy. It could be a promising supplementary rechecking method for frontline clinical doctors. It is now essential for improving the accuracy of detection process. CLINICALTRIAL 2020-04-03 3:22:36 PM

This study introduces a machine learning approach based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) for the prediction of Marshall test results, stiffness modulus and air voids data of different bituminous mixtures for road pavements. A novel approach for an objective and semi-automatic identification of the optimal ANN’s structure, defined by the so-called hyperparameters, has been introduced and discussed. Mechanical and volumetric data were obtained by conducting laboratory tests on 320 Marshall specimens, and the results were used to train the neural network. The k-fold Cross Validation method has been used for partitioning the available data set, to obtain an unbiased evaluation of the model predictive error. The ANN’s hyperparameters have been optimized using the Bayesian optimization, that overcame efficiently the more costly trial-and-error procedure and automated the hyperparameters tuning. The proposed ANN model is characterized by a Pearson coefficient value of 0.868.

Game Environments

Procedurally generating cohesive and interesting game environments is challenging and time-consuming. In order for the relationships between the game elements to be natural, common-sense has to be encoded into arrangement of the elements. In this work, we investigate a machine learning approach for world creation using content from the multi-player text adventure game environment LIGHT (Urbanek et al. 2019). We introduce neural network based models to compositionally arrange locations, characters, and objects into a coherent whole. In addition to creating worlds based on existing elements, our models can generate new game content. Humans can also leverage our models to interactively aid in worldbuilding. We show that the game environments created with our approach are cohesive, diverse, and preferred by human evaluators compared to other machine learning based world construction algorithms.

Machine Learning Approach

Kidney cancer is one of the deadliest diseases and its diagnosis and subtype classification are crucial for patients’ survival. Thus, developing automated tools that can accurately determine kidney cancer subtypes is an urgent challenge. It has been confirmed by researchers in the biomedical field that miRNA dysregulation can cause cancer. In this paper, we propose a machine learning approach for the classification of kidney cancer subtypes using miRNA genome data. Through empirical studies we found 35 miRNAs that possess distinct key features that aid in kidney cancer subtype diagnosis. In the proposed method, Neighbourhood Component Analysis (NCA) is employed to extract discriminative features from miRNAs and Long Short Term Memory (LSTM), a type of Recurrent Neural Network, is adopted to classify a given miRNA sample into kidney cancer subtypes. In the literature, only a couple of kidney subtypes have been considered for classification. In the experimental study, we used the miRNA quantitative read counts data, which was provided by The Cancer Genome Atlas data repository (TCGA). The NCA procedure selected 35 of the most discriminative miRNAs. With this subset of miRNAs, the LSTM algorithm was able to group kidney cancer miRNAs into five subtypes with average accuracy around 95% and Matthews Correlation Coefficient value around 0.92 under 10 runs of randomly grouped 5-fold cross-validation, which were very close to the average performance of using all miRNAs for classification.

Advanced System

In today's environment, video surveillance is critical. When artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning were introduced into the system, the technology had progressed much too far. Different methods are in place using the above combinations to help distinguish various wary activities from the live tracking of footages. Human behavior is the most unpredictable, and determining whether it is suspicious or normal is quite tough. In a theoretical setting, a deep learning approach is utilized to detect suspicious or normal behavior and sends an alarm to the nearby people if suspicious activity is predicted. In this paper, data fusion technique is used for feature extraction which gives an accurate outcome. Moreover, the classes are classified by the well effective machine learning approach of modified deep neural network (M-DNN), that predicts the classes very well. The proposed method gains 95% accuracy, as well the advanced system is contrast with previous methods like artificial neural network (ANN), random forest (RF) and support vector machine (SVM). This approach is well fitted for dynamic and static conditions.
