Head Related Transfer Function

Spherical harmonic (SH) interpolation is a commonly used method to spatially up-sample sparse head related transfer function (HRTF) datasets to denser HRTF datasets. However, depending on the number of sparse HRTF measurements and SH order, this process can introduce distortions into high frequency representations of the HRTFs. This paper investigates whether it is possible to restore some of the distorted high frequency HRTF components using machine learning algorithms. A combination of convolutional auto-encoder (CAE) and denoising auto-encoder (DAE) models is proposed to restore the high frequency distortion in SH-interpolated HRTFs. Results were evaluated using both perceptual spectral difference (PSD) and localisation prediction models, both of which demonstrated significant improvement after the restoration process.

Mitigating the effects of disease outbreaks with timely and effective interventions requires accurate real-time surveillance and forecasting of disease activity, but traditional health care–based surveillance systems are limited by inherent reporting delays. Machine learning methods have the potential to fill this temporal “data gap,” but work to date in this area has focused on relatively simple methods and coarse geographic resolutions (state level and above). We evaluate the predictive performance of a gated recurrent unit neural network approach in comparison with baseline machine learning methods for estimating influenza activity in the United States at the state and city levels and experiment with the inclusion of real-time Internet search data. We find that the neural network approach improves upon baseline models for long time horizons of prediction but is not improved by real-time internet search data. We conduct a thorough analysis of feature importances in all considered models for interpretability purposes.

Important Evidence

It is not easy for banks to sell their term-deposit products to new clients because many factors will affect customers’ purchasing decision and because banks may have difficulties to identify their target customers. To address this issue, we use different supervised machine learning algorithms to predict if a customer will subscribe a bank term deposit and then compare the performance of these prediction models. Specifically, the current paper employs these five algorithms: Naïve Bayes, Decision Tree, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine and Neural Network. This paper thus contributes to the artificial intelligence and Big Data field with an important evidence of the best performed model for predicting bank term deposit subscription.

Search Spaces

Birds of a Feather is a single player, perfect information card game. The game can have multiple board sizes with larger boards introducing larger search spaces that grow exponentially. In this paper, we investigate the solvability of the game, aiming at building a machine learning method to automatically classify whether a given board state has a solution path or not. We propose a method based on image-based features of the board state and deep neural network. Experimental results show that the proposed method can make reasonable predictions of the solvability of a game at an arbitrary stage of the game.

Machine Learning Models

This study focuses on modelling the changes in rainfall patterns in different agro-climatic zones due to climate change through statistical downscaling of large-scale climate variables using machine learning approaches. Potential of three machine learning algorithms, multilayer artificial neural network (MLANN), radial basis function neural network (RBFNN), and least square support vector machine (LS-SVM) have been investigated. The large-scale climate variable are obtained from National Centre for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) reanalysis product and used as predictors for model development. Proposed machine learning models are applied to generate projected time series of rainfall for the period 2021-2050 using the Hadley Centre coupled model (HadCM3) B2 emission scenario data as predictors. An increasing trend in anticipated rainfall is observed during 2021-2050 in all the ACZs of Chhattisgarh State. Among the machine learning models, RBFNN found as more feasible technique for modeling of monthly rainfall in this region.
