Within this paper, we present two neural nets for view-independent complex human activity recognition (HAR) from video frames. For our study here, we reduce the number of frames produced by a video sequence given that we can identify activities from a sparsely sampled sequence of body poses, and, at the same time, we are able to reduce the processing complexity and response while hardly affecting the accuracy, precision, and recall. To do so, we use a formal framework to ensure the quality of data collection and data preprocessing. We utilize neural networks for the classification of single and complex body activities. More specifically, we consider the sequence of body poses as a time-series problem given that they can provide state-of-the-art results on challenging recognition tasks with little data engineering. Deep Learning in the form of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Long Short-Term Neural Network (LSTM), and a one-dimensional Convolutional Neural Network Long Short-Term Memory model (CNN-LSTM) are used as benchmarks to classify the activity.

Short-term photovoltaic (PV) energy generation forecasting models are important, stabilizing the power integration between the PV and the smart grid for artificial intelligence- (AI-) driven internet of things (IoT) modeling of smart cities. With the recent development of AI and IoT technologies, it is possible for deep learning techniques to achieve more accurate energy generation forecasting results for the PV systems. Difficulties exist for the traditional PV energy generation forecasting method considering external feature variables, such as the seasonality. In this study, we propose a hybrid deep learning method that combines the clustering techniques, convolutional neural network (CNN), long short-term memory (LSTM), and attention mechanism with the wireless sensor network to overcome the existing difficulties of the PV energy generation forecasting problem. The overall proposed method is divided into three stages, namely, clustering, training, and forecasting. In the clustering stage, correlation analysis and self-organizing mapping are employed to select the highest relevant factors in historical data. In the training stage, a convolutional neural network, long short-term memory neural network, and attention mechanism are combined to construct a hybrid deep learning model to perform the forecasting task. In the testing stage, the most appropriate training model is selected based on the month of the testing data. The experimental results showed significantly higher prediction accuracy rates for all time intervals compared to existing methods, including traditional artificial neural networks, long short-term memory neural networks, and an algorithm combining long short-term memory neural network and attention mechanism.

In this paper, we address various challenges in multi-pedestrian and vehicle tracking in high-resolution aerial imagery by intensive evaluation of a number of traditional and Deep Learning based Single- and Multi-Object Tracking methods. We also describe our proposed Deep Learning based Multi-Object Tracking method AerialMPTNet that fuses appearance, temporal, and graphical information using a Siamese Neural Network, a Long Short-Term Memory, and a Graph Convolutional Neural Network module for more accurate and stable tracking. Moreover, we investigate the influence of the Squeeze-and-Excitation layers and Online Hard Example Mining on the performance of AerialMPTNet. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to use these two for regression-based Multi-Object Tracking. Additionally, we studied and compared the L1 and Huber loss functions. In our experiments, we extensively evaluate AerialMPTNet on three aerial Multi-Object Tracking datasets, namely AerialMPT and KIT AIS pedestrian and vehicle datasets. Qualitative and quantitative results show that AerialMPTNet outperforms all previous methods for the pedestrian datasets and achieves competitive results for the vehicle dataset. In addition, Long Short-Term Memory and Graph Convolutional Neural Network modules enhance the tracking performance. Moreover, using Squeeze-and-Excitation and Online Hard Example Mining significantly helps for some cases while degrades the results for other cases. In addition, according to the results, L1 yields better results with respect to Huber loss for most of the scenarios. The presented results provide a deep insight into challenges and opportunities of the aerial Multi-Object Tracking domain, paving the way for future research.

Deep learning models are efficient in learning the features that assist in understanding complex patterns precisely. This study proposed a computerized process of classifying skin disease through deep learning based MobileNet V2 and Long Short Term Memory (LSTM). The MobileNet V2 model proved to be efficient with a better accuracy that can work on lightweight computational devices. The proposed model is efficient in maintaining stateful information for precise predictions. A grey-level co-occurrence matrix is used for assessing the progress of diseased growth. The performance has been compared against other state-of-the-art models such as Fine-Tuned Neural Networks (FTNN), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Very Deep Convolutional Networks for Large-Scale Image Recognition developed by Visual Geometry Group (VGG), and convolutional neural network architecture that expanded with few changes. The HAM10000 dataset is used and the proposed method has outperformed other methods with more than 85% accuracy. Its robustness in recognizing the affected region much faster with almost 2× lesser computations than the conventional MobileNet model results in minimal computational efforts. Furthermore, a mobile application is designed for instant and proper action. It helps the patient and dermatologists identify the type of disease from the affected region’s image at the initial stage of the skin disease. These findings suggest that the proposed system can help general practitioners efficiently and effectively diagnose skin conditions, thereby reducing further complications and morbidity.

Asynchronous Advantage Actor-Critic (A3C) adalah sebuah algoritma deep reinforcement learning yang dikembangkan oleh Google DeepMind. Algoritma ini dapat digunakan untuk menciptakan sebuah arsitektur artificial intelligence yang dapat menguasai berbagai jenis game yang berbeda melalui trial and error dengan mempelajari tempilan layar game dan skor yang diperoleh dari hasil tindakannya tanpa campur tangan manusia. Sebuah network A3C terdiri dari Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) di bagian depan, Long Short-Term Memory Network (LSTM) di tengah, dan sebuah Actor-Critic network di bagian belakang. CNN berguna sebagai perangkum dari citra output layar dengan mengekstrak fitur-fitur yang penting yang terdapat pada layar. LSTM berguna sebagai pengingat keadaan game sebelumnya. Actor-Critic Network berguna untuk menentukan tindakan terbaik untuk dilakukan ketika dihadapkan dengan suatu kondisi tertentu. Dari hasil percobaan yang dilakukan, metode ini cukup efektif dan dapat mengalahkan pemain pemula dalam memainkan 5 game yang digunakan sebagai bahan uji coba.
