Setting sale prices correctly is of great importance for firms, and the study and forecast of prices time series is therefore a relevant topic not only from a data science perspective but also from an economic and applicative one. In this paper, we examine different techniques to forecast sale prices applied by an Italian food wholesaler, as a step towards the automation of pricing tasks usually taken care by human workforce. We consider ARIMA models and compare them to Prophet, a scalable forecasting tool by Facebook based on a generalized additive model, and to deep learning models exploiting Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). ARIMA models are frequently used in econometric analyses, providing a good benchmark for the problem under study. Our results indicate that ARIMA models and LSTM neural networks perform similarly for the forecasting task under consideration, while the combination of CNNs and LSTMs attains the best overall accuracy, but requires more time to be tuned. On the contrary, Prophet is quick and easy to use, but considerably less accurate.

Spectrum sensing is one of the technologies that is used to solve the current problem of low utilization of spectrum resources. However, when the signal-to-noise ratio is low, current spectrum sensing methods cannot well-handle a situation in which the prior information of the licensed user signal is lacking. In this paper, a blind spectrum sensing method based on deep learning is proposed that uses three kinds of neural networks together, namely convolutional neural networks, long short-term memory, and fully connected neural networks. Experiments show that the proposed method has better performance than an energy detector, especially when the signal-to-noise ratio is low. At the same time, this paper also analyzes the effect of different long short-term memory layers on detection performance, and explores why the deep-learning-based detector can achieve better performance.

: Chromosomal DNA contains most of the genetic information of eukaryotes and plays an important role in the growth, development and reproduction of living organisms. Most chromosomal DNA sequences are known to wrap around histones, and distinguishing these DNA sequences from ordinary DNA sequences is important for understanding the genetic code of life. The main difficulty behind this problem is the feature selection process. DNA sequences have no explicit features, and the common representation methods, such as one-hot coding, introduced the major drawback of high dimensionality. Recently, deep learning models have been proved to be able to automatically extract useful features from input patterns. In this paper, we present four different deep learning architectures using convolutional neural networks and long short-term memory networks for the purpose of chromosomal DNA sequence classification. Natural language model(Word2vec)was used to generate word embedding of sequence and learn features from it by deep learning. The comparison of these four architectures is carried out on 10 chromosomal DNA datasets. The results show that the architecture of convolutional neural networks combined with long short-term memory networks is superior to other methods in accuracy of chromosomal DNA prediction.

Deep learning has brought about a phenomenal paradigm shift in digital steganography. However, there is as yet no consensus on the use of deep neural networks in reversible steganography, a class of steganographic methods that permits the distortion caused by message embedding to be removed. The underdevelopment of the field of reversible steganography with deep learning can be attributed to the perception that perfect reversal of steganographic distortion seems scarcely achievable, due to the lack of transparency and interpretability of neural networks. Rather than employing neural networks in the coding module of a reversible steganographic scheme, we instead apply them to an analytics module that exploits data redundancy to maximise steganographic capacity. State-of-the-art reversible steganographic schemes for digital images are based primarily on a histogram-shifting method in which the analytics module is often modelled as a pixel intensity predictor. In this paper, we propose to refine the prior estimation from a conventional linear predictor through a neural network model. The refinement can be to some extent viewed as a low-level vision task (e.g., noise reduction and super-resolution imaging). In this way, we explore a leading-edge neuroscience-inspired low-level vision model based on long short-term memory with a brief discussion of its biological plausibility. Experimental results demonstrated a significant boost contributed by the neural network model in terms of prediction accuracy and steganographic rate-distortion performance.

AbstractDeep learning is a new branch of machine learning, which is widely used by researchers in a lot of artificial intelligence applications, including signal processing and computer vision. The present research investigates the use of deep learning to solve the hand gesture recognition (HGR) problem and proposes two models using deep learning architecture. The first model comprises a convolutional neural network (CNN) and a recurrent neural network with a long short-term memory (RNN-LSTM). The accuracy of model achieves up to 82 % when fed by colour channel, and 89 % when fed by depth channel. The second model comprises two parallel convolutional neural networks, which are merged by a merge layer, and a recurrent neural network with a long short-term memory fed by RGB-D. The accuracy of the latest model achieves up to 93 %.

Short-term photovoltaic (PV) energy generation forecasting models are important, stabilizing the power integration between the PV and the smart grid for artificial intelligence- (AI-) driven internet of things (IoT) modeling of smart cities. With the recent development of AI and IoT technologies, it is possible for deep learning techniques to achieve more accurate energy generation forecasting results for the PV systems. Difficulties exist for the traditional PV energy generation forecasting method considering external feature variables, such as the seasonality. In this study, we propose a hybrid deep learning method that combines the clustering techniques, convolutional neural network (CNN), long short-term memory (LSTM), and attention mechanism with the wireless sensor network to overcome the existing difficulties of the PV energy generation forecasting problem. The overall proposed method is divided into three stages, namely, clustering, training, and forecasting. In the clustering stage, correlation analysis and self-organizing mapping are employed to select the highest relevant factors in historical data. In the training stage, a convolutional neural network, long short-term memory neural network, and attention mechanism are combined to construct a hybrid deep learning model to perform the forecasting task. In the testing stage, the most appropriate training model is selected based on the month of the testing data. The experimental results showed significantly higher prediction accuracy rates for all time intervals compared to existing methods, including traditional artificial neural networks, long short-term memory neural networks, and an algorithm combining long short-term memory neural network and attention mechanism.

Multilabel text classification is a task of categorizing text into one or more categories. Like other machine learning, multilabel classification performance is limited to the small labeled data and leads to the difficulty of capturing semantic relationships. It requires a multilabel text classification technique that can group four labels from news articles. Deep Learning is a proposed method for solving problems in multilabel text classification techniques. Some of the deep learning methods used for text classification include Convolutional Neural Networks, Autoencoders, Deep Belief Networks, and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN). RNN is one of the most popular architectures used in natural language processing (NLP) because the recurrent structure is appropriate for processing variable-length text. One of the deep learning methods proposed in this study is RNN with the application of the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) architecture. The models are trained based on trial and error experiments using LSTM and 300-dimensional words embedding features with Word2Vec. By tuning the parameters and comparing the eight proposed Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) models with a large-scale dataset, to show that LSTM with features Word2Vec can achieve good performance in text classification. The results show that text classification using LSTM with Word2Vec obtain the highest accuracy is in the fifth model with 95.38, the average of precision, recall, and F1-score is 95. Also, LSTM with the Word2Vec feature gets graphic results that are close to good-fit on seventh and eighth models.

This study investigates the issues of forecasting changes in short-term currency trends using deep learning models, which is relevant for both the scientific community and for traders and investors. The purpose of this study is to build a model for forecasting the direction of change in the prices of currency quotes based on deep neural networks. The developed architecture was based on the model of valve recurrent node, which is a modification of the model of “Long Short-Term Memory”, but is simpler in terms of the number of parameters and learning time. The forecast calculations of the dynamics of quotations of the currency pair euro/dollar and the most capitalised cryptocurrency Bitcoin/dollar were performed using daily, four-hour and hourly datasets. The obtained results of binary classification (forecast of the direction of trend change) when applying daily and hourly quotations turned out to be generally better than those of time series models or models of neural networks of other architecture (in particular, multilayer perceptron or “Long Short-Term Memory” models). According to the study results, the highest accuracy of classification was for the model of daily quotations for both euro/dollar – about 72%, and for Bitcoin/ dollar – about 69%. For four-hour and hourly time series, the accuracy of classification decreased, which can be explained both by the increase in the impact of “market noise” and the probable overfitting. Computer simulation has demonstrated that models predict a rising trend better than a declining one. The study confirmed the prospects for the application of deep learning models for short-term forecasting of time series of currency quotes. The use of the developed models proved to be effective for both fiat and cryptocurrencies. The proposed system of models based on deep neural networks can be used as a basis for developing an automated trading system in the foreign exchange market
