It is particularly desirable to predict castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) in prostate cancer (PCa) patients, and this study aims to predict patients’ likely outcomes to support physicians’ decision-making. Serial data is collected from 1592 PCa patients, and a phased long short-term memory (phased-LSTM) model with a special module called a “time-gate” is used to process the irregularly sampled data sets. A synthetic minority oversampling technique is used to overcome the data imbalance between two patient groups: those with and without CRPC treatment. The phased-LSTM model is able to predict the CRPC outcome with an accuracy of 88.6% (precision-recall: 91.6%) using 120 days of data or 94.8% (precision-recall: 96.9%) using 360 days of data. The validation loss converged slowly with 120 days of data and quickly with 360 days of data. In both cases, the prediction model takes four epochs to build. The overall CPRC outcome prediction model using irregularly sampled serial medical data is accurate and can be used to support physicians’ decision-making, which saves time compared to cumbersome serial data reviews. This study can be extended to realize clinically meaningful prediction models.

As the decision-making brain for power system operation, grid regulation and operation is a comprehensive decision-making control that combines a large amount of data, mechanism analysis, operating procedures and professional experience, and a new generation of artificial intelligence development ideas and evolution characterized by data-driven and knowledge-guided. The directions are very close. However, the current scheduling control is still based on experience and manual analysis. The massive and diverse data of the control center and the lack of logical models between the plans require a large amount of experience and knowledge associations by the control personnel. There are more repetitive human brain labor and relatively low intelligence. Therefore, deep learning is applied to the learning of power control knowledge, and a semantic understanding network based on deep Long Short Term Memory is proposed. It uses sequence labeling to extract in-depth semantic related information of different keywords and query questions, and finds key information about language problems in order to achieve fine-grained and precise query. Experiments show that the proposed network model is superior to the previous methods, and it achieves better performance in the joint extraction of fine-grained evaluation words and evaluation objects, extracts the key information and deep semantic information of query problems and corresponding cases, and realizes power scheduling based on voice interaction The model can be effectively applied in the field of power dispatching and solve a large number of problems in power dispatching and control.

Cognitive radio is a paradigm that proposes managing the radio electric spectrum dynamically by integrating the spectrum sensing, decision-making, sharing, and mobility stages. In the decision-making stage, the best available channel is selected for transmitting secondary user data in an opportunistic fashion, and the success of that stage depends on the efficiency of the primary user characterization model. Use of the long short-term memory technique based on the deep learning concept is proposed in order to reduce the forecasting error present in the future estimation of primary users in the GSM and WiFi frequency bands. The results show that long short-term memory has the capacity needed to improve channel use forecasting significantly more than other methods such as multilayer perceptron neural networks, Bayesian networks, and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS-Grid). It is concluded that although long short-term memory exhibits better performance generating forecasts for time series, computing complexity is higher due to the existence of input, forget, and output gates within the neural structure; therefore, implementation is feasible in cognitive radio networks based on centralized network topologies.

The long short-term memory (LSTM) is a high-efficiency model for forecasting time series, for being able to deal with a large volume of data from a time series with nonlinearities. As a case study, the stacked LSTM will be used to forecast the growth of the pandemic of COVID-19, based on the increase in the number of contaminated and deaths in the State of Santa Catarina, Brazil. COVID-19 has been spreading very quickly, causing great concern in relation to the ability to care for critically ill patients. Control measures are being imposed by governments with the aim of reducing the contamination and the spreading of viruses. The forecast of the number of contaminated and deaths caused by COVID-19 can help decision making regarding the adopted restrictions, making them more or less rigid depending on the pandemic’s control capacity. The use of LSTM stacking shows an R2 of 0.9625 for confirmed cases and 0.9656 for confirmed deaths caused by COVID-19, being superior to the combinations among other evaluated models.
