The purpose of this work is to develop a spoken language processing system for smart device troubleshooting using human-machine interaction. This system combines a software Bidirectional Long Short Term Memory Cell (BLSTM)-based speech recognizer and a hardware LSTM-based language processor for Natural Language Processing (NLP) using the serial RS232 interface. Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC)-based feature vectors from the speech signal are directly input into a BLSTM network. A dropout layer is added to the BLSTM layer to reduce over-fitting and improve robustness. The speech recognition component is a combination of an acoustic modeler, pronunciation dictionary, and a BLSTM network for generating query text, and executes in real time with an 81.5% Word Error Rate (WER) and average training time of 45 s. The language processor comprises a vectorizer, lookup dictionary, key encoder, Long Short Term Memory Cell (LSTM)-based training and prediction network, and dialogue manager, and transforms query intent to generate response text with a processing time of 0.59 s, 5% hardware utilization, and an F1 score of 95.2%. The proposed system has a 4.17% decrease in accuracy compared with existing systems. The existing systems use parallel processing and high-speed cache memories to perform additional training, which improves the accuracy. However, the performance of the language processor has a 36.7% decrease in processing time and 50% decrease in hardware utilization, making it suitable for troubleshooting smart devices.

Sentence similarity evaluation is a significant task used in machine translation, classification, and information extraction in the field of natural language processing. When two sentences are given, an accurate judgment should be made whether the meaning of the sentences is equivalent even if the words and contexts of the sentences are different. To this end, existing studies have measured the similarity of sentences by focusing on the analysis of words, morphemes, and letters. To measure sentence similarity, this study uses Sent2Vec, a sentence embedding, as well as morpheme word embedding. Vectors representing words are input to the 1-dimension convolutional neural network (1D-CNN) with various sizes of kernels and bidirectional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM). Self-attention is applied to the features transformed through Bi-LSTM. Subsequently, vectors undergoing 1D-CNN and self-attention are converted through global max pooling and global average pooling to extract specific values, respectively. The vectors generated through the above process are concatenated to the vector generated through Sent2Vec and are represented as a single vector. The vector is input to softmax layer, and finally, the similarity between the two sentences is determined. The proposed model can improve the accuracy by up to 5.42% point compared with the conventional sentence similarity estimation models.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating effect on many people, creating severe anxiety, fear, and complicated feelings or emotions. After the initiation of vaccinations against coronavirus, people’s feelings have become more diverse and complex. Our aim is to understand and unravel their sentiments in this research using deep learning techniques. Social media is currently the best way to express feelings and emotions, and with the help of Twitter, one can have a better idea of what is trending and going on in people’s minds. Our motivation for this research was to understand the diverse sentiments of people regarding the vaccination process. In this research, the timeline of the collected tweets was from December 21 to July21. The tweets contained information about the most common vaccines available recently from across the world. The sentiments of people regarding vaccines of all sorts were assessed using the natural language processing (NLP) tool, Valence Aware Dictionary for sEntiment Reasoner (VADER). Initializing the polarities of the obtained sentiments into three groups (positive, negative, and neutral) helped us visualize the overall scenario; our findings included 33.96% positive, 17.55% negative, and 48.49% neutral responses. In addition, we included our analysis of the timeline of the tweets in this research, as sentiments fluctuated over time. A recurrent neural network- (RNN-) oriented architecture, including long short-term memory (LSTM) and bidirectional LSTM (Bi-LSTM), was used to assess the performance of the predictive models, with LSTM achieving an accuracy of 90.59% and Bi-LSTM achieving 90.83%. Other performance metrics such as precision,, F1-score, and a confusion matrix were also used to validate our models and findings more effectively. This study improves understanding of the public’s opinion on COVID-19 vaccines and supports the aim of eradicating coronavirus from the world.

Text classification is of importance in natural language processing, as the massive text information containing huge amounts of value needs to be classified into different categories for further use. In order to better classify text, our paper tries to build a deep learning model which achieves better classification results in Chinese text than those of other researchers’ models. After comparing different methods, long short-term memory (LSTM) and convolutional neural network (CNN) methods were selected as deep learning methods to classify Chinese text. LSTM is a special kind of recurrent neural network (RNN), which is capable of processing serialized information through its recurrent structure. By contrast, CNN has shown its ability to extract features from visual imagery. Therefore, two layers of LSTM and one layer of CNN were integrated to our new model: the BLSTM-C model (BLSTM stands for bi-directional long short-term memory while C stands for CNN.) LSTM was responsible for obtaining a sequence output based on past and future contexts, which was then input to the convolutional layer for extracting features. In our experiments, the proposed BLSTM-C model was evaluated in several ways. In the results, the model exhibited remarkable performance in text classification, especially in Chinese texts.

Abstractive text summarization that generates a summary by paraphrasing a long text remains an open significant problem for natural language processing. In this paper, we present an abstractive text summarization model, multi-layered attentional peephole convolutional LSTM (long short-term memory) (MAPCoL) that automatically generates a summary from a long text. We optimize parameters of MAPCoL using central composite design (CCD) in combination with the response surface methodology (RSM), which gives the highest accuracy in terms of summary generation. We record the accuracy of our model (MAPCoL) on a CNN/DailyMail dataset. We perform a comparative analysis of the accuracy of MAPCoL with that of the state-of-the-art models in different experimental settings. The MAPCoL also outperforms the traditional LSTM-based models in respect of semantic coherence in the output summary.

In recent years, long short-term memory (LSTM) has been successfully used to model sequential data of variable length. However, LSTM can still experience difficulty in capturing long-term dependencies. In this work, we tried to alleviate this problem by introducing a dynamic skip connection, which can learn to directly connect two dependent words. Since there is no dependency information in the training data, we propose a novel reinforcement learning-based method to model the dependency relationship and connect dependent words. The proposed model computes the recurrent transition functions based on the skip connections, which provides a dynamic skipping advantage over RNNs that always tackle entire sentences sequentially. Our experimental results on three natural language processing tasks demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve better performance than existing methods. In the number prediction experiment, the proposed model outperformed LSTM with respect to accuracy by nearly 20%.

Abstract: Chat bots are software applications that help users to communicate with the machine and get the required result, this is where Natural Language Processing (NLP) comes into the picture. Natural language processing is based on deep learning that enables computers to acquire meaning from inputs given by the users. Natural language processing techniques can make possible the use of natural language to express ideas, thus drastically increasing accessibility. NLP engines rely on the elements of intent, utterance, entity, context, and session. Here in this project, we will be using Deep learning techniques which will be trained on the dataset which contains categories, patterns, and responses. Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is a Recurrent Neural Network that is capable of learning order dependence in sequence prediction problems. One of the most popular RNN approaches is LSTM to identify and control a dynamic system. We use an RNN to classify the category user’s message belongs to and then will give a response from the list of responses. Keywords: NLP – Natural Language Processing, LSTM – Long Short Term Memory, RNN – Recurrent Neural Networks.

In many aging countries, where the population distribution has shifted to old ages, the need for automatic monitoring devices to help an elderly person when they fall is very crucial. Smartphone is one of the best candidate devices for detecting fall because accelerometer and gyroscope sensors embedded in it respond based on human movements. People usually carry their smartphone in any position and can make fall detection method difficult to detect when fall occurs. This research explored the model for unconstraint human fall detection by using the sensors embedded in smartphone for carried/wearable- sensor-based method. We proposed robust model called Ans-Assist using modified cell of Long Short-Term Memory based model as fall recognition model which can detect human fall from any smartphone position (unconstraint). Some experimental results showed that Ans-Assist achieved 0.95 (± 0.028) average accuracy value using unconstraint smartphone positions. This model can adapt the input from accelerometer and gyroscope sensors which are responsive when human fall.

Identifying internet spam has been a challenging problem for decades. Several solutions have succeeded to detect spam comments in social media or fraudulent emails. However, an adequate strategy for filtering messages is difficult to achieve, as these messages resemble real communications. From the Natural Language Processing (NLP) perspective, Deep Learning models are a good alternative for classifying text after being preprocessed. In particular, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks are one of the models that perform well for the binary and multi-label text classification problems. In this paper, an approach merging two different data sources, one intended for Spam in social media posts and the other for Fraud classification in emails, is presented. We designed a multi-label LSTM model and trained it on the joint datasets including text with common bigrams, extracted from each independent dataset. The experiment results show that our proposed model is capable of identifying malicious text regardless of the source. The LSTM model trained with the merged dataset outperforms the models trained independently on each dataset.

Abstract Recurrent neural networks have led to breakthroughs in natural language processing and speech recognition. Here we show that recurrent networks, specifically long short-term memory networks can also capture the temporal evolution of chemical/biophysical trajectories. Our character-level language model learns a probabilistic model of 1-dimensional stochastic trajectories generated from higher-dimensional dynamics. The model captures Boltzmann statistics and also reproduces kinetics across a spectrum of timescales. We demonstrate how training the long short-term memory network is equivalent to learning a path entropy, and that its embedding layer, instead of representing contextual meaning of characters, here exhibits a nontrivial connectivity between different metastable states in the underlying physical system. We demonstrate our model’s reliability through different benchmark systems and a force spectroscopy trajectory for multi-state riboswitch. We anticipate that our work represents a stepping stone in the understanding and use of recurrent neural networks for understanding the dynamics of complex stochastic molecular systems.
