Soil moisture is an important factor determining yield. With the increasing demand for agricultural irrigation water resources, evaluating soil moisture in advance to create a reasonable irrigation schedule would help improve water resource utilization. This paper established a continuous system for collecting meteorological information and soil moisture data from a litchi orchard. With the acquired data, a time series model called Deep Long Short-Term Memory (Deep-LSTM) is proposed in this paper. The Deep-LSTM model has five layers with the fused time series data to predict the soil moisture of a litchi orchard in four different growth seasons. To optimize the data quality of the soil moisture sensor, the Symlet wavelet denoising algorithm was applied in the data preprocessing section. The threshold of the wavelets was determined based on the unbiased risk estimation method to obtain better sensor data that would help with the model learning. The results showed that the root mean square error (RMSE) values of the Deep-LSTM model were 0.36, 0.52, 0.32, and 0.48%, and the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) values were 2.12, 2.35, 1.35, and 3.13%, respectively, in flowering, fruiting, autumn shoots, and flower bud differentiation stages. The determination coefficients (R2) were 0.94, 0.95, 0.93, and 0.94, respectively, in the four different stages. The results indicate that the proposed model was effective at predicting time series soil moisture data from a litchi orchard. This research was meaningful with regards to acquiring the soil moisture characteristics in advance and thereby providing a valuable reference for the litchi orchard’s irrigation schedule.

Forecasting time-series data are imperative especially when planning is required through modelling using uncertain knowledge of future events. Recurrent neural network models have been applied in the industry and outperform standard artificial neural networks in forecasting, but fail in long term time-series forecasting due to the vanishing gradient problem. This study offers a robust solution that can be implemented for long-term forecasting using a special architecture of recurrent neural network known as Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) model to overcome the vanishing gradient problem. LSTM is specially designed to avoid the long-term dependency problem as their default behavior. Empirical analysis is performed using quantitative forecasting metrics and comparative model performance on the forecasted outputs. An evaluation analysis is performed to validate that the LSTM model provides better forecasted outputs on Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) in terms of error metrics as compared to other forecasting models.

An enhanced architecture of recurrent neural network based on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is suggested in this paper for predicting the microclimate inside the greenhouse through its time series data. The microclimate inside the greenhouse largely affected by the external weather variations and it has a great impact on the greenhouse crops and its production. Therefore, it is a massive importance to predict the microclimate inside greenhouse as a preceding stage for accurate design of a control system that could fulfill the requirements of suitable environment for the plants and crop managing. The LSTM network is trained and tested by the temperatures and relative humidity data measured inside the greenhouse utilizing the mathematical greenhouse model with the outside weather data over 27 days. To evaluate the prediction accuracy of the suggested LSTM network, different measurements, such as Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE), are calculated and compared to those of conventional networks in references. The simulation results of LSTM network for forecasting the temperature and relative humidity inside greenhouse outperform over those of the traditional methods. The prediction results of temperature and humidity inside greenhouse in terms of RMSE approximately are 0.16 and 0.62 and in terms of MAE are 0.11 and 0.4, respectively, for both of them.

Abstract Stocks are an attractive investment option since they can generate large profits compared to other businesses. The movement of stock price patterns on the stock market is very dynamic; thus it requires accurate data modeling to forecast stock prices with a low error rate. Forecasting models using Deep Learning are believed to be able to accurately predict stock price movements using time-series data, especially the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) algorithms. However, several previous implementation studies have not been able to obtain convincing accuracy results. This paper proposes the implementation of the forecasting method by classifying the movement of time-series data on company stock prices into three groups using LSTM and GRU. The accuracy of the built model is evaluated using loss functions of Rooted Mean Squared Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). The results showed that the performance evaluation of both architectures is accurate in which GRU is always superior to LSTM. The highest validation for GRU was 98.73% (RMSE) and 98.54% (MAPE), while the LSTM validation was 98.26% (RMSE) and 97.71% (MAPE).

Acoustic emission signals are information rich and can be used to estimate the size and location of damage in structures. However, many existing algorithms may be deceived by indirectly propagated acoustic emission waves which are modulated by reflection boundaries within the structures. We propose two deep learning models to identify such waves such that existing algorithms for damage detection and localization may be used. The first approach uses long short-term memory recurrent neural networks to learn distinct patterns directly from the time-series data. In the second approach, we transform the time-series data into spectrograms and utilize convolutional neural networks to perform binary classification by leveraging spectro-temporal features. We achieved 80% classification accuracy using long short-term memory and near-perfect accuracy using convolutional neural networks on a dataset of acoustic emission signals generated by the Hsu-Nielsen sources. Both long short-term memory and convolutional neural network models were able to learn general and context-specific features of the direct and reflected acoustic emission waves. Once accurately identified, the indirectly propagating waves are filtered out while the directly propagating waves are used for source location using existing methods.

The Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) stock market index is one of the main indicators commonly used as a reference for national economic conditions. The value of the stock market index is often being used by investment companies and individual investors to help making investment decisions. Therefore, the ability to predict the stock market index value is a critical need. In the fields of statistics and probability theory as well as machine learning, various methods have been developed to predict the value of the stock market index with a good accuracy. However, previous research results have found that no one method is superior to other methods. This study proposes an ensemble model based on deep learning architecture, namely Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), called the CNN-LSTM. To be able to predict financial time series data, CNN-LSTM takes feature from CNN for extraction of important features from time series data, which are then integrated with LSTM feature that is reliable in processing time series data. Results of experiments on the proposed CNN-LSTM model confirm that the hybrid model effectively provides better predictive accuracy than the stand-alone time series data forecasting models, such as CNN and LSTM.

This paper makes use of long short-term memory (LSTM) neural networks for forecasting probability distributions of time series in terms of discrete symbols that are quantized from real-valued data. The developed framework formulates the forecasting problem into a probabilistic paradigm as hΘ: X × Y → [0, 1] such that ∑y∈YhΘ(x,y)=1, where X is the finite-dimensional state space, Y is the symbol alphabet, and Θ is the set of model parameters. The proposed method is different from standard formulations (e.g., autoregressive moving average (ARMA)) of time series modeling. The main advantage of formulating the problem in the symbolic setting is that density predictions are obtained without any significantly restrictive assumptions (e.g., second-order statistics). The efficacy of the proposed method has been demonstrated by forecasting probability distributions on chaotic time series data collected from a laboratory-scale experimental apparatus. Three neural architectures are compared, each with 100 different combinations of symbol-alphabet size and forecast length, resulting in a comprehensive evaluation of their relative performances.

Forex is the largest global financial market in the world. Traditionally, fundamental and technical analysis are strategies that the Forex traders often used. Nowadays, advanced computational technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has played a significant role in the financial domain. Various applications based on AI technologies particularly machine learning and deep learning have been constantly developed. As the historical data of the Forex are time-series data where the values from the past affect the values that will appear in the future. Several existing works from other domains of applications have proved that the Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM), which is a particular kind of deep learning that can be applied to modeling time series, provides better performance than traditional machine learning algorithms. In this paper, we aim to develop a powerful predictive model targeting to predicts the daily price changes of the currency pairwise in the Forex market using LSTM. Besides, we also conduct an extensive experiment with the intention to demonstrate the effect of various factors contributing to the performance of the model. The experimental results show that the optimized LSTM model accurately predicts the direction of the future price up to 61.25 percent.
