AbstractAcquisition of neuronal signals involves a wide range of devices with specific electrical properties. Combined with other physiological sources within the body, the signals sensed by the devices are often distorted. Sometimes these distortions are visually identifiable, other times, they overlay with the signal characteristics making them very difficult to detect. To remove these distortions, the recordings are visually inspected and manually processed. However, this manual annotation process is time-consuming and automatic computational methods are needed to identify and remove these artefacts. Most of the existing artefact removal approaches rely on additional information from other recorded channels and fail when global artefacts are present or the affected channels constitute the majority of the recording system. Addressing this issue, this paper reports a novel channel-independent machine learning model to accurately identify and replace the artefactual segments present in the signals. Discarding these artifactual segments by the existing approaches causes discontinuities in the reproduced signals which may introduce errors in subsequent analyses. To avoid this, the proposed method predicts multiple values of the artefactual region using long–short term memory network to recreate the temporal and spectral properties of the recorded signal. The method has been tested on two open-access data sets and incorporated into the open-access SANTIA (SigMate Advanced: a Novel Tool for Identification of Artefacts in Neuronal Signals) toolbox for community use.

AbstractWhile soil moisture information is essential for a wide range of hydrologic and climate applications, spatially-continuous soil moisture data is only available from satellite observations or model simulations. Here we present a global, long-term dataset of soil moisture derived through machine learning trained with in-situ measurements, SoMo.ml. We train a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model to extrapolate daily soil moisture dynamics in space and in time, based on in-situ data collected from more than 1,000 stations across the globe. SoMo.ml provides multi-layer soil moisture data (0–10 cm, 10–30 cm, and 30–50 cm) at 0.25° spatial and daily temporal resolution over the period 2000–2019. The performance of the resulting dataset is evaluated through cross validation and inter-comparison with existing soil moisture datasets. SoMo.ml performs especially well in terms of temporal dynamics, making it particularly useful for applications requiring time-varying soil moisture, such as anomaly detection and memory analyses. SoMo.ml complements the existing suite of modelled and satellite-based datasets given its distinct derivation, to support large-scale hydrological, meteorological, and ecological analyses.

Abstract This work presents a methodology for the generation of novel 3D objects resembling wireframes of building types. These result from the reconstruction of interpolated locations within the learnt distribution of variational autoencoders (VAEs), a deep generative machine learning model based on neural networks. The data set used features a scheme for geometry representation based on a ‘connectivity map’ that is especially suited to express the wireframe objects that compose it. Additionally, the input samples are generated through ‘parametric augmentation’, a strategy proposed in this study that creates coherent variations among data by enabling a set of parameters to alter representative features on a given building type. In the experiments that are described in this paper, more than 150 k input samples belonging to two building types have been processed during the training of a VAE model. The main contribution of this paper has been to explore parametric augmentation for the generation of large data sets of 3D geometries, showcasing its problems and limitations in the context of neural networks and VAEs. Results show that the generation of interpolated hybrid geometries is a challenging task. Despite the difficulty of the endeavour, promising advances are presented.

Diabetes is a chronic disease whereby blood glucose is not metabolized in the body. Electronic health records (EHRs) (Yadav, P. et al., 2018). for each individual or a population have become important to standing developing trends of diseases. Machine learning helps provide accurate predictions higher than actual assessments. The main problem that we are trying to apply machine learning model and using EHRs that combines the strength of a machine learning model with various features and hyperparameter optimization or tuning. The hyperparameter optimization (Feurer, M., 2019) uses the random search optimization which minimizes a predefined loss function on given independent data. The evaluation on the method comparisons indicated that machine learning models has increased the ratio of metrics compared to previous models (Accuracy, Recall, F1 and AUC score) on the same public dataset that is reprocessed.

Protein corona formation is critical for the design of ideal and safe nanoparticles (NPs) for nanomedicine, biosensing, organ targeting, and other applications, but methods to quantitatively predict the formation of the protein corona, especially for functional compositions, remain unavailable. The traditional linear regression model performs poorly for the protein corona, as measured by R2 (less than 0.40). Here, the performance with R2 over 0.75 in the prediction of the protein corona was achieved by integrating a machine learning model and meta-analysis. NPs without modification and surface modification were identified as the two most important factors determining protein corona formation. According to experimental verification, the functional protein compositions (e.g., immune proteins, complement proteins, and apolipoproteins) in complex coronas were precisely predicted with good R2 (most over 0.80). Moreover, the method successfully predicted the cellular recognition (e.g., cellular uptake by macrophages and cytokine release) mediated by functional corona proteins. This workflow provides a method to accurately and quantitatively predict the functional composition of the protein corona that determines cellular recognition and nanotoxicity to guide the synthesis and applications of a wide range of NPs by overcoming limitations and uncertainty.

Obtaining reliable wind information is critical for efficiently managing air traffic and airport operations. Wind forecasting has been considered one of the most challenging tasks in the aviation industry. Recently, with the advent of artificial intelligence, many machine learning techniques have been widely used to address a variety of complex phenomena in wind predictions. In this paper, we propose a hybrid framework that combines a machine learning model with Kalman filtering for a wind nowcasting problem in the aviation industry. More specifically, this study has three objectives as follows: (1) compare the performance of the machine learning models (i.e., Gaussian process, multi-layer perceptron, and long short-term memory (LSTM) network) to identify the most appropriate model for wind predictions, (2) combine the machine learning model selected in step (1) with an unscented Kalman filter (UKF) to improve the fidelity of the model, and (3) perform Monte Carlo simulations to quantify uncertainties arising from the modeling process. Results show that short-term time-series wind datasets are best predicted by the LSTM network compared to the other machine learning models and the UKF-aided LSTM (UKF-LSTM) approach outperforms the LSTM network only, especially when long-term wind forecasting needs to be considered.


Plasmodium is one of India's biggest public health problems. Early prediction of a malaria epidemic is that the secret to malaria morbidity management, mortality as well as reducing the risk of malaria transmission in the community will benefit politicians, health care providers, medical officers, health ministry and other health organizations to better target medical resources to areas of greatest need. In this project, we acquire data sets from hospital databases, which have the information about the causes of malaria, and the images of cells infected with malaria. We then analyze these data sets and feed them to our machine-learning model. Here we are using contour detection and random forest algorithms for training the model and predicting the output

Abstract Lower limbs exoskeleton robots improve the motor ability of humans and can facilitate superior rehabilitative training. By training large datasets, many of the currently available mobile and signal devices that may be worn on the body can employ machine learning approaches to forecast and classify people's movement characteristics. This approach could help exoskeleton robots improve their ability to predict human activities. Two popular data sets are PAMAP2, which was obtained by measuring people's movement through inertial sensors, and WISDM, which was collected people's activity information through mobile phones. With the focus on human activity recognition, this paper applied the traditional machine learning method and deep learning method to train and test these datasets, whereby it was found that the prediction performance of a decision tree model was highest on these two data sets, which is 99% and 72% separately, and the time consumption of decision tree is the least. In addition, a comparison of the signals collected from different parts of the human body showed that the signals deriving from the hands presented the best performance in terms of recognizing human movement types.


In this paper we propose a novel supervised machine learning model to predict the polarity of sentiments expressed in microblogs. The proposed model has a stacked neural network structure consisting of Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) layers. In order to capture the long-term dependencies of sentiments in the text ordering of a microblog, the proposed model employs an LSTM layer. The encodings produced by the LSTM layer are then fed to a CNN layer, which generates localized patterns of higher accuracy. These patterns are capable of capturing both local and global long-term dependences in the text of the microblogs. It was observed that the proposed model performs better and gives improved prediction accuracy when compared to semantic, machine learning and deep neural network approaches such as SVM, CNN, LSTM, CNN-LSTM, etc. This paper utilizes the benchmark Stanford Large Movie Review dataset to show the significance of the new approach. The prediction accuracy of the proposed approach is comparable to other state-of-art approaches.

<p>It is difficult to predict the occurrence and rain volume of torrential rainfalls, such as guerrilla rain, rain band with typhoon and linear precipitation zone. As heavy rain area is spatially localized and the parent thunderstorm tends to develop within a short time, it makes difficult to accurately predict the occurrence location/time and rain volume. Recently, the machine learning technique is remarkably developed with the improved processing speed of computers and with a huge amount of the data. In addition to this, the application of the machine learning methods to the meteorological fields is intensively tried in the world. Since 2017, we started installing the automatic weather observation system (AWS) named as P-POTEKA in Metro Manila, the Philippines, which is one of the cities suffering from the torrential rainfall and related flood. So far, we installed 35-P-POTEKAs in Metro Manila and continue the weather observations (rain volume, temperature, air pressure, humidity, wind speed, wind direction and solar radiation) with the time resolution of 1 min. In this study, we used both P-POTEKA rain volume data and machine learning model (ConvLSTM: Convolutional Long-Short Term Memory) in order to predict the near future (< 1hour) rain volume and distribution. At the presentation, we will show the results derived from the machine learning prediction of the rain volume and distribution more in detail.</p>
