With the arrival of the big data era, it has become possible to apply deep learning to the health monitoring of mine production. In this paper, a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based method is proposed to monitor the health condition of the balancing tail ropes (BTRs) of the hoisting system, in which the feature of the BTR image is adaptively extracted using a CNN. This method can automatically detect various BTR faults in real-time, including disproportional spacing, twisted rope, broken strand and broken rope faults. Firstly, a CNN structure is proposed, and regularization technology is adopted to prevent overfitting. Then, a method of image dataset description and establishment that can cover the entire feature space of overhanging BTRs is put forward. Finally, the CNN and two traditional data mining algorithms, namely, k-nearest neighbor (KNN) and an artificial neural network with back propagation (ANN-BP), are adopted to train and test the established dataset, and the influence of hyperparameters on the network diagnostic accuracy is investigated experimentally. The experimental results showed that the CNN could effectively avoid complex steps such as manual feature extraction, that the learning rate and batch-size strongly affected the accuracy and training efficiency, and that the fault diagnosis accuracy of CNN was 100%, which was higher than that of KNN and ANN-BP. Therefore, the proposed CNN with high accuracy, real-time functioning and generalization performance is suitable for application in the health monitoring of hoisting system BTRs.

The cherry leaves infected by Podosphaera pannosa will suffer powdery mildew, which is a serious disease threatening the cherry production industry. In order to identify the diseased cherry leaves in early stage, the authors formulate the cherry leaf disease infected identification as a classification problem and propose a fully automatic identification method based on convolutional neural network (CNN). The GoogLeNet is used as backbone of the CNN. Then, transferred learning techniques are applied to fine-tune the CNN from pre-trained GoogLeNet on ImageNet dataset. This article compares the proposed method against three traditional machine learning methods i.e., support vector machine (SVM), k-nearest neighbor (KNN) and back propagation (BP) neural network. Quantitative evaluations conducted on a data set of 1,200 images collected by smart phones, demonstrates that the CNN achieves best precise performance in identifying diseased cherry leaves, with the testing accuracy of 99.6%. Thus, a CNN can be used effectively in identifying the diseased cherry leaves.

In recent years, due to the increasing amounts of data gathered from the medical area, the Internet of Things are majorly developed. But the data gathered are of high volume, velocity, and variety. In the proposed work the heart disease is predicted using wearable devices. To analyze the data efficiently and effectively, Deep Canonical Neural Network Feed-Forward and Back Propagation (DCNN-FBP) algorithm is used. The data are gathered from wearable gadgets and preprocessed by employing normalization. The processed features are analyzed using a deep convolutional neural network. The DCNN-FBP algorithm is exercised by applying forward and backward propagation algorithm. Batch size, epochs, learning rate, activation function, and optimizer are the parameters used in DCNN-FBP. The datasets are taken from the UCI machine learning repository. The performance measures such as accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, and precision are used to validate the performance. From the results, the model attains 89% accuracy. Finally, the outcomes are juxtaposed with the traditional machine learning algorithms to illustrate that the DCNN-FBP model attained higher accuracy.

Flow forecasting is an essential topic for flood prevention and mitigation. This study utilizes a data-driven approach, the Long Short-Term Memory neural network (LSTM), to simulate rainfall–runoff relationships for catchments with different climate conditions. The LSTM method presented was tested in three catchments with distinct climate zones in China. The recurrent neural network (RNN) was adopted for comparison to verify the superiority of the LSTM model in terms of time series prediction problems. The results of LSTM were also compared with a widely used process-based model, the Xinanjiang model (XAJ), as a benchmark to test the applicability of this novel method. The results suggest that LSTM could provide comparable quality predictions as the XAJ model and can be considered an efficient hydrology modeling approach. A real-time forecasting approach coupled with the k-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithm as an updating method was proposed in this study to generalize the plausibility of the LSTM method for flood forecasting in a decision support system. We compared the simulation results of the LSTM and the LSTM-KNN model, which demonstrated the effectiveness of the LSTM-KNN model in the study areas and underscored the potential of the proposed model for real-time flood forecasting.

Falls are the major cause of fatal and non-fatal injury among people aged more than 65 years. Due to the grave consequences of the occurrence of falls, it is necessary to conduct thorough research on falls. This paper presents a method for the study of fall detection using surface electromyography (sEMG) based on an improved dual parallel channels convolutional neural network (IDPC-CNN). The proposed IDPC-CNN model is designed to identify falls from daily activities using the spectral features of sEMG. Firstly, the classification accuracy of time domain features and spectrograms are compared using linear discriminant analysis (LDA), k-nearest neighbor (KNN) and support vector machine (SVM). Results show that spectrograms provide a richer way to extract pattern information and better classification performance. Therefore, the spectrogram features of sEMG are selected as the input of IDPC-CNN to distinguish between daily activities and falls. Finally, The IDPC-CNN is compared with SVM and three different structure CNNs under the same conditions. Experimental results show that the proposed IDPC-CNN achieves 92.55% accuracy, 95.71% sensitivity and 91.7% specificity. Overall, The IDPC-CNN is more effective than the comparison in accuracy, efficiency, training and generalization.

This paper presents a localization model employing convolutional neural network (CNN) and Gaussian process regression (GPR) based on Wi-Fi received signal strength indication (RSSI) fingerprinting data. In the proposed scheme, the CNN model is trained by a training dataset. The trained model adapts to complex scenes with multipath effects or many access points (APs). More specifically, the pre-processing algorithm makes the RSSI vector which is formed by considerable RSSI values from different APs readable by the CNN algorithm. The trained CNN model improves the positioning performance by taking a series of RSSI vectors into account and extracting local features. In this design, however, the performance is to be further improved by applying the GPR algorithm to adjust the coordinates of target points and offset the over-fitting problem of CNN. After implementing the hybrid model, the model is experimented with a public database that was collected from a library of Jaume I University in Spain. The results show that the hybrid model has outperformed the model using k-nearest neighbor (KNN) by 61.8%. While the CNN model improves the performance by 45.8%, the GPR algorithm further enhances the localization accuracy. In addition, the paper has also experimented with the three kernel functions, all of which have been demonstrated to have positive effects on GPR.

To avoid power supply hazards caused by cable failures, this paper presents an approach of incipient cable failure recognition and classification based on variational mode decomposition (VMD) and a convolutional neural network (CNN). By using VMD, the original current signal is decomposed into seven modes with different center frequencies. Then, 42 features are extracted for the seven modes and used to construct a feature vector as input of the CNN to classify incipient cable failure through deep learning. Compared with using the original signals directly as the CNN input, the proposed approach is more efficient and robust. Experiments on different classifiers, namely, the decision tree (DT), K-nearest neighbor (KNN), BP neural network (BP) and support vector machine (SVM), and show that the CNN outperforms the other classifiers in terms of accuracy.

By website fingerprinting (WF) technologies, local listeners are enabled to track the specific website visited by users through an investigation of the encrypted traffic between the users and the Tor network entry node. The current triplet fingerprinting (TF) technique proved the possibility of small sample WF attacks. Previous research methods only concentrate on extracting the overall features of website traffic while ignoring the importance of website local fingerprinting characteristics for small sample WF attacks. Thus, in the present paper, a deep nearest neighbor website fingerprinting (DNNF) attack technology is proposed. The deep local fingerprinting features of websites are extracted via the convolutional neural network (CNN), and then the k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) classifier is utilized to classify the prediction. When the website provides only 20 samples, the accuracy can reach 96.2%. We also found that the DNNF method acts well compared to the traditional methods in coping with transfer learning and concept drift problems. In comparison to the TF method, the classification accuracy of the proposed method is improved by 2%–5% and it is only dropped by 3% when classifying the data collected from the same website after two months. These experiments revealed that the DNNF is a more flexible, efficient, and robust website fingerprinting attack technology, and the local fingerprinting features of websites are particularly important for small sample WF attacks.

The use of a face as a biometric to identify a person in order to keep the system safe from an unauthorized person has advantages over other biometric characteristics. The face as a biometric has more structure and a wider area than other biometrics, while can be retrieved in a non-invasive manner. We proposed a cloud-based architecture for face identification with deep learning using convolutional neural network. Face identification in this study used a cloud-based engine with four stages, namely face detection with histogram of oriented gradients (HOG), image enhancement, feature extraction using convolutional neural network, and classification using k-nearest neighbor (KNN), SVM, as well as random forest algorithm. This study conducted a classification experiment with cloud-based architecture using three different datasets, namely Faces94, Faces96 and University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST) face dataset. The results from this study are with the proposed cloud-based architecture, the best accuracy is obtained by KNN algorithm with an accuracy of 99% on Faces94 dataset, 99% accuracy on Faces96 dataset, 97% on UMIST face dataset, and performance of the three algorithms decreased in UMIST face dataset with facial variations from various angles from left to right profile.
