This paper proposes a deep neural network (DNN)-based method for predicting ore production by truck-haulage systems in open-pit mines. The proposed method utilizes two DNN models that are designed to predict ore production during the morning and afternoon haulage sessions, respectively. The configuration of the input nodes of the DNN models is based on truck-haulage conditions and corresponding operation times. To verify the efficacy of the proposed method, training data for the DNN models were generated by processing packet data collected over the two-month period December 2018 to January 2019. Subsequently, following training under different hidden-layer conditions, it was observed that the prediction accuracy of morning ore production was highest when the number of hidden layers and number of corresponding nodes were four and 50, respectively. The corresponding values of the determination coefficient and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) were 0.99% and 4.78%, respectively. Further, the prediction accuracy of afternoon ore production was highest when the number of hidden layers was four and the corresponding number of nodes was 50. This yielded determination coefficient and MAPE values of 0.99% and 5.26%, respectively.

A new method using a deep neural network (DNN) model is proposed to predict the ore production and crusher utilization of a truck haulage system in an underground mine. An underground limestone mine was selected as the study area, and the DNN model input/output nodes were designed to reflect the truck haulage system characteristics. Big data collected on-site for 1 month were processed to create learning datasets. To select the optimal DNN learning model, the numbers of hidden layers and hidden layer nodes were set to various values for analyzing the training and test data. The optimal DNN model structure for ore production prediction was set to five hidden layers and 40 hidden layer nodes. The test data exhibited a coefficient of determination of 0.99 and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of 2.80%. The optimal configuration for the crusher utilization prediction was set to four hidden layers and 40 hidden layer nodes, and the test data exhibited a coefficient of determination of 0.99 and MAPE of 2.49%. The trained DNN model was used to predict the ore production and crusher utilization, which were similar to the actual observed values.

Deep Neural Network (DNN) stands for multilayered Neural Network (NN) that is capable of progressively learn the more abstract and composite representations of the raw features of the input data received, with no need for any feature engineering. They are advanced NNs having repetitious hidden layers between the initial input and the final layer. The working principle of such a standard deep classifier is based on a hierarchy formed by the composition of linear functions and a defined nonlinear Activation Function (AF). It remains uncertain (not clear) how the DNN classifier can function so well. But it is clear from many studies that within DNN, the AF choice has a notable impact on the kinetics of training and the success of tasks. In the past few years, different AFs have been formulated. The choice of AF is still an area of active study. Hence, in this study, a novel deep Feed forward NN model with four AFs has been proposed for breast cancer classification: hidden layer 1: Swish, hidden layer, 2:-LeakyReLU, hidden layer 3: ReLU, and final output layer: naturally Sigmoidal. The purpose of the study is twofold. Firstly, this study is a step toward a more profound understanding of DNN with layer-wise different AFs. Secondly, research is also aimed to explore better DNN-based systems to build predictive models for breast cancer data with improved accuracy. Therefore, the benchmark UCI dataset WDBC was used for the validation of the framework and evaluated using a ten-fold CV method and various performance indicators. Multiple simulations and outcomes of the experimentations have shown that the proposed solution performs in a better way than the Sigmoid, ReLU, and LeakyReLU and Swish activation DNN in terms of different parameters. This analysis contributes to producing an expert and precise clinical dataset classification method for breast cancer. Furthermore, the model also achieved improved performance compared to many established state-of-the-art algorithms/models.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are being widely utilized for various missions: in both civilian and military sectors. Many of these missions demand UAVs to acquire artificial intelligence about the environments they are navigating in. This perception can be realized by training a computing machine to classify objects in the environment. One of the well known machine training approaches is supervised deep learning, which enables a machine to classify objects. However, supervised deep learning comes with huge sacrifice in terms of time and computational resources. Collecting big input data, pre-training processes, such as labeling training data, and the need for a high performance computer for training are some of the challenges that supervised deep learning poses. To address these setbacks, this study proposes mission specific input data augmentation techniques and the design of light-weight deep neural network architecture that is capable of real-time object classification. Semi-direct visual odometry (SVO) data of augmented images are used to train the network for object classification. Ten classes of 10,000 different images in each class were used as input data where 80% were for training the network and the remaining 20% were used for network validation. For the optimization of the designed deep neural network, a sequential gradient descent algorithm was implemented. This algorithm has the advantage of handling redundancy in the data more efficiently than other algorithms.

AbstractThe coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic continues as of March 26 and spread to Europe on approximately February 24. A report from April 29 revealed 1.26 million confirmed cases and 125 928 deaths in Europe. This study proposed a novel deep neural network framework, COVID-19Net, which parallelly combines a convolutional neural network (CNN) and bidirectional gated recurrent units (GRUs). Three European countries with severe outbreaks were studied—Germany, Italy, and Spain—to extract spatiotemporal feature and predict the number of confirmed cases. The prediction results acquired from COVID-19Net were compared to those obtained using a CNN, GRU, and CNN-GRU. The mean absolute error, mean absolute percentage error, and root mean square error, which are commonly used model assessment indices, were used to compare the accuracy of the models. The results verified that COVID-19Net was notably more accurate than the other models. The mean absolute percentage error generated by COVID-19Net was 1.447 for Germany, 1.801 for Italy, and 2.828 for Spain, which were considerably lower than those of the other models. This indicated that the proposed framework can accurately predict the accumulated number of confirmed cases in the three countries and serve as a crucial reference for devising public health strategies.

This paper proposes a solution to predict the capacity of the lithium-ion battery's capacity division process using deep learning methods. This solution extracts the physical observation records of part of the process steps from the chemical conversion and volumetric processes as features, and trains a Deep Neural Network (DNN) to achieve accurate prediction of battery capacity. According to the test, the average percentage absolute error (Mean Absolute Percentage Error, MAPE) of the battery capacity predicted by this model is only 0.78% compared with the true value. Combining this model with the production line can greatly reduce production time and energy consumption, and reduce battery production costs.

To avoid the adverse effects of severe air pollution on human health, we need accurate real-time air quality prediction. In this paper, for the purpose of improve prediction accuracy of air pollutant concentration, a deep neural network model with multitask learning (MTL-DBN-DNN), pretrained by a deep belief network (DBN), is proposed for forecasting of nonlinear systems and tested on the forecast of air quality time series. MTL-DBN-DNN model can solve several related prediction tasks at the same time by using shared information contained in the training data of different tasks. In the model, DBN is used to learn feature representations. Each unit in the output layer is connected to only a subset of units in the last hidden layer of DBN. Such connection effectively avoids the problem that fully connected networks need to juggle the learning of each task while being trained, so that the trained networks cannot get optimal prediction accuracy for each task. The sliding window is used to take the recent data to dynamically adjust the parameters of the MTL-DBN-DNN model. The MTL-DBN-DNN model is evaluated with a dataset from Microsoft Research. Comparison with multiple baseline models shows that the proposed MTL-DBN-DNN achieve state-of-art performance on air pollutant concentration forecasting.
