Generating an investment strategy using advanced deep learning methods in stock markets has recently been a topic of interest. Most existing deep learning methods focus on proposing an optimal model or network architecture by maximizing return. However, these models often fail to consider and adapt to the continuously changing market conditions. In this paper, we propose the Multi-Agent reinforcement learning-based Portfolio management System (MAPS). MAPS is a cooperative system in which each agent is an independent "investor" creating its own portfolio. In the training procedure, each agent is guided to act as diversely as possible while maximizing its own return with a carefully designed loss function. As a result, MAPS as a system ends up with a diversified portfolio. Experiment results with 12 years of US market data show that MAPS outperforms most of the baselines in terms of Sharpe ratio. Furthermore, our results show that adding more agents to our system would allow us to get a higher Sharpe ratio by lowering risk with a more diversified portfolio.

Predictions of stock and foreign exchange (Forex) have always been a hot and profitable area of study. Deep learning applications have been proven to yield better accuracy and return in the field of financial prediction and forecasting. In this survey, we selected papers from the Digital Bibliography & Library Project (DBLP) database for comparison and analysis. We classified papers according to different deep learning methods, which included Convolutional neural network (CNN); Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM); Deep neural network (DNN); Recurrent Neural Network (RNN); Reinforcement Learning; and other deep learning methods such as Hybrid Attention Networks (HAN), self-paced learning mechanism (NLP), and Wavenet. Furthermore, this paper reviews the dataset, variable, model, and results of each article. The survey used presents the results through the most used performance metrics: Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Square Error (MSE), accuracy, Sharpe ratio, and return rate. We identified that recent models combining LSTM with other methods, for example, DNN, are widely researched. Reinforcement learning and other deep learning methods yielded great returns and performances. We conclude that, in recent years, the trend of using deep-learning-based methods for financial modeling is rising exponentially.

Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) has been utilized in numerous computer vision tasks, such as object detection, autonomous driving, etc. However, relatively few DRL methods have been proposed in the area of image segmentation, particularly in left ventricle segmentation. Reinforcement learning-based methods in earlier works often rely on learning proper thresholds to perform segmentation, and the segmentation results are inaccurate due to the sensitivity of the threshold. To tackle this problem, a novel DRL agent is designed to imitate the human process to perform LV segmentation. For this purpose, we formulate the segmentation problem as a Markov decision process and innovatively optimize it through DRL. The proposed DRL agent consists of two neural networks, i.e., First-P-Net and Next-P-Net. The First-P-Net locates the initial edge point, and the Next-P-Net locates the remaining edge points successively and ultimately obtains a closed segmentation result. The experimental results show that the proposed model has outperformed the previous reinforcement learning methods and achieved comparable performances compared with deep learning baselines on two widely used LV endocardium segmentation datasets, namely Automated Cardiac Diagnosis Challenge (ACDC) 2017 dataset, and Sunnybrook 2009 dataset. Moreover, the proposed model achieves higher F-measure accuracy compared with deep learning methods when training with a very limited number of samples.

: Enhancer-promoter interactions (EPIs) in the human genome are of great significance to transcriptional regulation which tightly controls gene expression. Identification of EPIs can help us better deciphering gene regulation and understanding disease mechanisms. However, experimental methods to identify EPIs are constrained by the fund, time and manpower while computational methods using DNA sequences and genomic features are viable alternatives. Deep learning methods have shown promising prospects in classification and efforts that have been utilized to identify EPIs. In this survey, we specifically focus on sequence-based deep learning methods and conduct a comprehensive review of the literatures of them. We first briefly introduce existing sequence-based frameworks on EPIs prediction and their technique details. After that, we elaborate on the dataset, pre-processing means and evaluation strategies. Finally, we discuss the challenges these methods are confronted with and suggest several future opportunities.

The interest in contactless or remote heart rate measurement has been steadily growing in healthcare and sports applications. Contactless methods involve the utilization of a video camera and image processing algorithms. Recently, deep learning methods have been used to improve the performance of conventional contactless methods for heart rate measurement. After providing a review of the related literature, a comparison of the deep learning methods whose codes are publicly available is conducted in this paper. The public domain UBFC dataset is used to compare the performance of these deep learning methods for heart rate measurement. The results obtained show that the deep learning method PhysNet generates the best heart rate measurement outcome among these methods, with a mean absolute error value of 2.57 beats per minute and a mean square error value of 7.56 beats per minute.

X-ray CT imaging provides a 3D view of a sample and is a powerful tool for investigating the internal features of porous rock. Reliable phase segmentation in these images is highly necessary but, like any other digital rock imaging technique, is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and subjective. Combining 3D X-ray CT imaging with machine learning methods that can simultaneously consider several extracted features in addition to color attenuation, is a promising and powerful method for reliable phase segmentation. Machine learning-based phase segmentation of X-ray CT images enables faster data collection and interpretation than traditional methods. This study investigates the performance of several filtering techniques with three machine learning methods and a deep learning method to assess the potential for reliable feature extraction and pixel-level phase segmentation of X-ray CT images. Features were first extracted from images using well-known filters and from the second convolutional layer of the pre-trained VGG16 architecture. Then, K-means clustering, Random Forest, and Feed Forward Artificial Neural Network methods, as well as the modified U-Net model, were applied to the extracted input features. The models’ performances were then compared and contrasted to determine the influence of the machine learning method and input features on reliable phase segmentation. The results showed considering more dimensionality has promising results and all classification algorithms result in high accuracy ranging from 0.87 to 0.94. Feature-based Random Forest demonstrated the best performance among the machine learning models, with an accuracy of 0.88 for Mancos and 0.94 for Marcellus. The U-Net model with the linear combination of focal and dice loss also performed well with an accuracy of 0.91 and 0.93 for Mancos and Marcellus, respectively. In general, considering more features provided promising and reliable segmentation results that are valuable for analyzing the composition of dense samples, such as shales, which are significant unconventional reservoirs in oil recovery.
