With the increasing interest in smart devices and convenient remote control, the need for accurate wireless means of control has become imperative. This gives rise to research in the field of gesture and finger movement detection. This design focuses on exploring techniques involved in hand and finger movement detection, using the depth-sensing infrared cameras embedded on Xbox Kinect Module. The generated 3-D images are first filtered along the z-axis, then two distinct techniques; Haar-Like Features, and Deep Learning using a Convolution Neural Network, are performed on the images to detect hands. Useful metrics like, Precision, Recall, F1-Score and Accuracy are then used to evaluate the efficiency of these techniques. The results show that while the deep learning model is the most accurate with a weighted accuracy of 1.0 (due to the absence of noise in the images) in contrast with 0.97 observed for the Haar-Like features, the Haar-like features technique runs faster due to its static nature. These findings point to the conclusion that the deep learning model is a better technique for detecting hands despite its longer running time.

Wireless and mobile health applications promote the development of smart healthcare. Effective diagnosis and feedbacks of remote health data pose significant challenges due to streaming data, high noise, network latency and user privacy. Therefore, we explore efficient edge and cloud design to maintain electrocardiogram classification performance while reducing the communication cost. These contributions include: (1) We introduce a hybrid smart medical architecture named edge convolutional neural networks (EdgeCNN) that balances the capability of edge and cloud computing to address the issue for agile learning of healthcare data from IoT devices. (2) We present an effective deep learning model for electrocardiogram (ECG) inference, which can be deployed to run on edge smart devices for low-latency diagnosis. (3) We design a data enhancement method for ECG based on deep convolutional generative adversarial network to expand ECG data volume. (4) We carried out experiments on two representative datasets to evaluate the effectiveness of the deep learning model of ECG classification based on EdgeCNN. EdgeCNN shows superior to traditional cloud medical systems in terms of network Input/Output (I/O) pressure, architecture cost and system high availability. The deep learning model not only ensures high diagnostic accuracy, but also has advantages in aspect of inference time, storage, running memory and power consumption.

Nowadays, Internet of Things (IoT) is considered as part our lives and it includes different aspects - from wearable devices to smart devices used in military applications. IoT connects a variety of devices and as such, the generated data is considered as ‘Big Data'. There has however been an increase in attacks in this era of IoT since IoT carries crucial information regarding banking, environmental, geographical, medical, and other aspects of the daily lives of humans. In this paper, a Distributed Attack Detection Model (DADEM) that combines two techniques - Deep Learning and Big Data analytics - is proposed. Sequential Deep Learning model is chosen as a classification engine for the distributed processing model after testing its classification accuracy against other classification algorithms like logistic regression, KNN, ID3 decision tree, CART, and SVM. Results showed that Sequential Deep Learning model outperforms the aforementioned ones. The classification accuracy of DADEM approaches 99.64% and 99.98% for the UNSW-NB15 and BoT-IoT datasets, respectively. Moreover, a plan is proposed for optimizing the proposed model to reduce the overhead of the overall system operation in a constrained environment like IoT.

Background: Sentiment analysis is a contextual mining of text which determines viewpoint of users with respect to some sentimental topics commonly present at social networking websites. Twitter is one of the social sites where people express their opinion about any topic in the form of tweets. These tweets can be examined using various sentiment classification methods to find the opinion of users. Traditional sentiment analysis methods use manually extracted features for opinion classification. The manual feature extraction process is a complicated task since it requires predefined sentiment lexicons. On the other hand, deep learning methods automatically extract relevant features from data hence; they provide better performance and richer representation competency than the traditional methods. Objective: The main aim of this paper is to enhance the sentiment classification accuracy and to reduce the computational cost. Method: To achieve the objective, a hybrid deep learning model, based on convolution neural network and bi-directional long-short term memory neural network has been introduced. Results: The proposed sentiment classification method achieves the highest accuracy for the most of the datasets. Further, from the statistical analysis efficacy of the proposed method has been validated. Conclusion: Sentiment classification accuracy can be improved by creating veracious hybrid models. Moreover, performance can also be enhanced by tuning the hyper parameters of deep leaning models.
