Geocoding aims to assign unambiguous locations (i.e., geographic coordinates) to place names (i.e., toponyms) referenced within documents (e.g., within spreadsheet tables or textual paragraphs). This task comes with multiple challenges, such as dealing with referent ambiguity (multiple places with a same name) or reference database completeness. In this work, we propose a geocoding approach based on modeling pairs of toponyms, which returns latitude-longitude coordinates. One of the input toponyms will be geocoded, and the second one is used as context to reduce ambiguities. The proposed approach is based on a deep neural network that uses Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) units to produce representations from sequences of character n-grams. To train our model, we use toponym co-occurrences collected from different contexts, namely textual (i.e., co-occurrences of toponyms in Wikipedia articles) and geographical (i.e., inclusion and proximity of places based on Geonames data). Experiments based on multiple geographical areas of interest—France, United States, Great-Britain, Nigeria, Argentina and Japan—were conducted. Results show that models trained with co-occurrence data obtained a higher geocoding accuracy, and that proximity relations in combination with co-occurrences can help to obtain a slightly higher accuracy in geographical areas with fewer places in the data sources.

AbstractAcquiring clear and usable audio recordings is critical for acoustic analysis of animal vocalizations. Bioacoustics studies commonly face the problem of overlapping signals, but the issue is often ignored, as there is currently no satisfactory solution. This study presents a bi-directional long short-term memory (BLSTM) network to separate overlapping bat calls and reconstruct waveform audio sounds. The separation quality was evaluated using seven temporal-spectrum parameters. The applicability of this method for bat calls was assessed using six different species. In addition, clustering analysis was conducted with separated echolocation calls from each population. Results showed that all syllables in the overlapping calls were separated with high robustness across species. A comparison between the seven temporal-spectrum parameters showed no significant difference and negligible deviation between the extracted and original calls, indicating high separation quality. Clustering analysis of the separated echolocation calls also produced an accuracy of 93.8%, suggesting the reconstructed waveform sounds could be reliably used. These results suggest the proposed technique is a convenient and automated approach for separating overlapping calls using a BLSTM network. This powerful deep neural network approach has the potential to solve complex problems in bioacoustics.Author summaryIn recent years, the development of recording techniques and devices in animal acoustic experiment and population monitoring has led to a sharp increase in the volume of sound data. However, the collected sound would be overlapped because of the existence of multiple individuals, which laid restrictions on taking full advantage of experiment data. Besides, more convenient and automatic methods are needed to cope with the large datasets in animal acoustics. The echolocation calls and communication calls of bats are variable and often overlapped with each other both in the recordings from field and laboratory, which provides an excellent template for research on animal sound separation. Here, we firstly solved the problem of overlapping calls in bats successfully based on deep neural network. We built a network to separate the overlapping calls of six bat species. All the syllables in overlapping calls were separated and we found no significant difference between the separated syllables with non-overlapping syllables. We also demonstrated an instance of applying our method on species classification. Our study provides a useful and efficient model for sound data processing in acoustic research and the proposed method has the potential to be generalized to other animal species.

In this research, we propose a method of human robot interactive intention prediction. The proposed algorithm makes use of a OpenPose library and a Long-short term memory deep learning neural network. The neural network observes the human posture in a time series, then predicts the human interactive intention. We train the deep neural network using dataset generated by us. The experimental results show that, our proposed method is able to predict the human robot interactive intention, providing 92% the accuracy on the testing set.

Improved Model

Due to the increasing growth of social media content on websites such as Twitter and Facebook, analyzing textual sentiment has become a challenging task. Therefore, many studies have focused on textual sentiment analysis. Recently, deep learning models, such as convolutional neural networks and long short-term memory, have achieved promising performance in sentiment analysis. These models have proven their ability to cope with the arbitrary length of sequences. However, when they are used in the feature extraction layer, the feature distance is highly dimensional, the text data are sparse, and they assign equal importance to various features. To address these issues, we propose a hybrid model that combines a deep neural network with a multi-head attention mechanism (DNN–MHAT). In the DNN–MHAT model, we first design an improved deep neural network to capture the text's actual context and extract the local features of position invariants by combining recurrent bidirectional long short-term memory units (Bi-LSTM) with a convolutional neural network (CNN). Second, we present a multi-head attention mechanism to capture the words in the text that are significantly related to long space and encoding dependencies, which adds a different focus to the information outputted from the hidden layers of BiLSTM. Finally, a global average pooling is applied for transforming the vector into a high-level sentiment representation to avoid model overfitting, and a sigmoid classifier is applied to carry out the sentiment polarity classification of texts. The DNN–MHAT model is tested on four reviews and two Twitter datasets. The results of the experiments illustrate the effectiveness of the DNN–MHAT model, which achieved excellent performance compared to the state-of-the-art baseline methods based on short tweets and long reviews.

Abstract. Long short-term memory (LSTM) models are recurrent neural networks from the field of deep learning (DL) which have shown promise for time series modelling, especially in conditions when data are abundant. Previous studies have demonstrated the applicability of LSTM-based models for rainfall–runoff modelling; however, LSTMs have not been tested on catchments in Great Britain (GB). Moreover, opportunities exist to use spatial and seasonal patterns in model performances to improve our understanding of hydrological processes and to examine the advantages and disadvantages of LSTM-based models for hydrological simulation. By training two LSTM architectures across a large sample of 669 catchments in GB, we demonstrate that the LSTM and the Entity Aware LSTM (EA LSTM) models simulate discharge with median Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) scores of 0.88 and 0.86 respectively. We find that the LSTM-based models outperform a suite of benchmark conceptual models, suggesting an opportunity to use additional data to refine conceptual models. In summary, the LSTM-based models show the largest performance improvements in the north-east of Scotland and in south-east of England. The south-east of England remained difficult to model, however, in part due to the inability of the LSTMs configured in this study to learn groundwater processes, human abstractions and complex percolation properties from the hydro-meteorological variables typically employed for hydrological modelling.

In this study, it is presented a new hybrid model based on deep neural networks to predict the direction and magnitude of the Forex market movement in the short term. The overall model presented is based on the scalping strategy and is provided for high frequency transactions. The proposed hybrid model is based on a combination of three models based on deep neural networks. The first model is a deep neural network with a multi-input structure consisting of a combination of Long Short Term Memory layers. The second model is a deep neural network with a multi-input structure made of a combination of one-dimensional Convolutional Neural network layers. The third model has a simpler structure and is a multi-input model of the Multi-Layer Perceptron layers. The overall model was also a model based on the majority vote of three top models. This study showed that models based on Long Short-Term Memory layers provided better results than the other models and even hybrid models with more than 70% accurate.
