Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder that causes repeated breathing interruption during sleep. The performance of automated apnea detection methods based on respiratory signals depend on the signals considered and feature extraction methods. Moreover, feature engineering techniques are highly dependent on the experts’ experience and their prior knowledge about different physiological signals and conditions of the subjects. To overcome these problems, a novel deep recurrent neural network (RNN) framework is developed for automated feature extraction and detection of apnea events from single respiratory channel inputs. Long short-term memory (LSTM) and bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) are investigated to develop the proposed deep RNN model. The proposed framework is evaluated over three respiration signals: Oronasal thermal airflow (FlowTh), nasal pressure (NPRE), and abdominal respiratory inductance plethysmography (ABD). To demonstrate our results, we use polysomnography (PSG) data of 17 patients with obstructive, central, and mixed apnea events. Our results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed framework in automatic extraction for temporal features and automated detection of apneic events over the different respiratory signals considered in this study. Using a deep BiLSTM-based detection model, the NPRE signal achieved the highest overall detection results with true positive rate (sensitivity) = 90.3%, true negative rate (specificity) = 83.7%, and area under receiver operator characteristic curve = 92.4%. The present results contribute a new deep learning approach for automated detection of sleep apnea events from single channel respiration signals that can potentially serve as a helpful and alternative tool for the traditional PSG method.

Abstract. A deep recurrent neural network system based on a long short-term memory (LSTM) model was developed for daily PM10 and PM2.5 predictions in South Korea. The structural and learnable parameters of the newly developed system were optimized from iterative model training. Independent variables were obtained from ground-based observations over 2.3 years. The performance of the particulate matter (PM) prediction LSTM was then evaluated by comparisons with ground PM observations and with the PM concentrations predicted from two sets of 3-D chemistry-transport model (CTM) simulations (with and without data assimilation for initial conditions). The comparisons showed, in general, better performance with the LSTM than with the 3-D CTM simulations. For example, in terms of IOAs (index of agreements), the PM prediction IOAs were enhanced from 0.36–0.78 with the 3-D CTM simulations to 0.62–0.79 with the LSTM-based model. The deep LSTM-based PM prediction system developed at observation sites is expected to be further integrated with 3-D CTM-based prediction systems in the future. In addition to this, further possible applications of the deep LSTM-based system are discussed, together with some limitations of the current system.

AbstractIn this paper, we propose a deep recurrent neural network (DRNN) for the estimation of bladder pressure and volume from neural activity recorded directly from spinal cord gray matter neurons. The model was based on the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) architecture, which has emerged as a general and effective model for capturing long-term temporal dependencies with good generalization performance. In this way, training the network with the data recorded from one rat could lead to estimating the bladder status of different rats. We combined modeling of spiking and local field potential (LFP) activity into a unified framework to estimate the pressure and volume of the bladder. Moreover, we investigated the effect of two-electrode recording on decoding performance. The results show that the two-electrode recordings significantly improve the decoding performance compared to single-electrode recordings. The proposed framework could estimate bladder pressure and volume with an average normalized root-mean-squared (NRMS) error of 14.9 ± 4.8% and 19.7 ± 4.7% and a correlation coefficient (CC) of 83.2 ± 3.2% and 74.2 ± 6.2%, respectively. This work represents a promising approach to the real-time estimation of bladder pressure/volume in the closed-loop control of bladder function using functional electrical stimulation.
