Soil classification is a growing research area in the current era. Various studies have proposed different techniques to deal with the issues, including rule-based, statistical, and traditional learning methods. However, the plans remain drawbacks to producing an accurate classification result. Therefore, we propose a novel technique to address soil classification by implementing a deep learning algorithm to construct an effective model. Based on the experiment result, the proposed model can obtain classification results with an accuracy rate of 97% and a loss of 0.1606. Furthermore, we also received an F1-score of 98%.

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a new paradigm that revolutionizes the idea of a software-driven network through the separation of control and data planes. It addresses the problems of traditional network architecture. Nevertheless, this brilliant architecture is exposed to several security threats, e.g., the distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack, which is hard to contain in such software-based networks. The concept of a centralized controller in SDN makes it a single point of attack as well as a single point of failure. In this paper, deep learning-based models, long-short term memory (LSTM) and convolutional neural network (CNN), are investigated. It illustrates their possibility and efficiency in being used in detecting and mitigating DDoS attack. The paper focuses on TCP, UDP, and ICMP flood attacks that target the controller. The performance of the models was evaluated based on the accuracy, recall, and true negative rate. We compared the performance of the deep learning models with classical machine learning models. We further provide details on the time taken to detect and mitigate the attack. Our results show that RNN LSTM is a viable deep learning algorithm that can be applied in the detection and mitigation of DDoS in the SDN controller. Our proposed model produced an accuracy of 89.63%, which outperformed linear-based models such as SVM (86.85%) and Naive Bayes (82.61%). Although KNN, which is a linear-based model, outperformed our proposed model (achieving an accuracy of 99.4%), our proposed model provides a good trade-off between precision and recall, which makes it suitable for DDoS classification. In addition, it was realized that the split ratio of the training and testing datasets can give different results in the performance of a deep learning algorithm used in a specific work. The model achieved the best performance when a split of 70/30 was used in comparison to 80/20 and 60/40 split ratios.

The emerging research area of a quantum-inspired computing has been applied to various field such as computational intelligence, and showed its superior abilities. However, most existing researches are focused on theoretical simulations, and have not been implemented in systems under practical environment. For human–robot communication, associative memory becomes essential for multi-modal communication. However, it always suffers from low memory capacity and recall reliability. In this paper, we propose a quantum-inspired bidirectional associative memory with fuzzy inference. We show that fuzzy inference satisfies basic postulates of quantum mechanics, but also learning algorithm for weight matrix in associative memory. In addition, we construct a communication system with robot partner using proposed model. This is the first successful attempt to overcome conventional problems in associative memory model with a robot application.


Medical imaging is an emerging field in engineering. As traditional way of brain tumor analysis, MRI scanning is the way to identify brain tumor. The core drawback of manual MRI studies conducted by surgeons is getting manual visual errorswhich can lead toofa false identification of tumor boundaries. To avoid such human errors, ultra age engineering adopted deep learning as a new technique for brain tumor segmentation. Deep learning convolution network can be further developed by means of various deep learning models for better performance. Hence, we proposed a new deep learning algorithm development which can more efficiently identifies the types of brain tumors in terms of level of tumor like T1, T2, and T1ce etc. The proposed system can identify tumors using convolution neural network(CNN) which works with the proposed algorithm “Sculptor DeepCNet”. The proposed model can be used by surgeons to identify post-surgical remains (if any) of brain tumors and thus proposed research can be useful for ultra-age neural surgical image assessments. This paper discusses newly developed algorithm and its testing results.

In present clinic practice of otolaryngology, otolaryngologists utilized laryngoscopy to diagnose the larynx lesion of patients preliminarily. Nevertheless, it was challenging for otolaryngologists to interpret the detailed information from laryngoscopy videos comprehensively. In this paper, we proposed Mask R-CNN deep learning algorithm to segment the regions of the vocal folds and glottal from laryngoscopy videos, and self-built algorithm to calculate measured indicators including the length and curvature of vocal folds, the angle of glottal, the area of vocal folds and glottal, and the triangle type composed of vocal folds and glottal. Moreover, in order to provide otolaryngologists critical and immediate medical information during diagnosis, we also provided visualized information, which is labeled on the laryngoscopy images to meet all the needs in clinical practice. From the result of this research, the precision of segmentation has reached a high rate of 90.4% on average. It shows that the model not only achieves great performance in segmentation, but also further proved the indicators are accurate enough to be considered in practical diagnosis. In the future, it is possible for the proposed model to be applied in more kinds of laryngoscopy analyses for more comprehensive diagnosis, which would make a positive influence toward the clinical practice of otolaryngology.

The extraction of regulatory information is a prerequisite for automated code compliance checking. Although a number of machine learning models have been explored for extracting computer-understandable engineering constraints from code clauses written in natural language, most are inadequate to address the complexity of the semantic relations between named entities. In particular, the existence of two or more overlapping relations involving the same entity greatly exacerbates the difficulty of information extraction. In this paper, a joint extraction model is proposed to extract the relations among entities in the form of triplets. In the proposed model, a hybrid deep learning algorithm combined with a decomposition strategy is applied. First, all candidate subject entities are identified, and then, the associated object entities and predicate relations are simultaneously detected. In this way, multiple relations, especially overlapping relations, can be extracted. Furthermore, nonrelated pairs are excluded through the judicious recognition of subject entities. Moreover, a collection of domain-specific entity and relation types is investigated for model implementation. The experimental results indicate that the proposed model is promising for extracting multiple relations and entities from building codes.

Background Identification of vertebral fractures (VFs) is critical for effective secondary fracture prevention owing to their association with the increasing risks of future fractures. Plain abdominal frontal radiographs (PARs) are a common investigation method performed for a variety of clinical indications and provide an ideal platform for the opportunistic identification of VF. This study uses a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) to identify the feasibility for the screening, detection, and localization of VFs using PARs. Methods A DCNN was pretrained using ImageNet and retrained with 1306 images from the PARs database obtained between August 2015 and December 2018. The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were evaluated. The visualization algorithm gradient-weighted class activation mapping (Grad-CAM) was used for model interpretation. Results Only 46.6% (204/438) of the VFs were diagnosed in the original PARs reports. The algorithm achieved 73.59% accuracy, 73.81% sensitivity, 73.02% specificity, and an AUC of 0.72 in the VF identification. Conclusion Computer driven solutions integrated with the DCNN have the potential to identify VFs with good accuracy when used opportunistically on PARs taken for a variety of clinical purposes. The proposed model can help clinicians become more efficient and economical in the current clinical pathway of fragile fracture treatment.

AbstractA novel deep-learning algorithm for artificial neural networks (ANNs), completely different from the back-propagation method, was developed in a previous study. The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of using the algorithm for the detection of intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) and the classification of its subtypes, without employing the convolutional neural network (CNN). For the detection of ICH with the summation of all the computed tomography (CT) images for each case, the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.859, and the sensitivity and the specificity were 78.0% and 80.0%, respectively. Regarding ICH localisation, CT images were divided into 10 subdivisions based on the intracranial height. With the subdivision of 41–50%, the best diagnostic performance for detecting ICH was obtained with AUC of 0.903, the sensitivity of 82.5%, and the specificity of 84.1%. For the classification of the ICH to subtypes, the accuracy rate for subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) was considerably excellent at 91.7%. This study revealed that our approach can greatly reduce the ICH diagnosis time in an actual emergency situation with a fairly good diagnostic performance.

To solve the problem of invalid resource recommendation data and poor recommendation effect in basketball teaching network course resource recommendation, a basketball teaching network course resource recommendation method based on a deep learning algorithm is proposed. The objective function is applied to eliminate the noise in the basketball teaching network course resource data. The prominent characteristics of basketball teaching network curriculum resources are extracted using a kernel function and combined into a feature set. A convolution neural network (CNN) was employed to realize the basketball teaching network curriculum resources recommendation model. The model was assessed in terms of computation time and recognition error. To validate the performance, the proposed model was compared with two well-known recommendation models such as the learning resource recommendation method based on transfer learning and the personalized learning resource recommendation method based on three-dimensional feature collaborative domination. Experimental results show that the proposed model achieved the lowest computation time of 15 s and recommendation error less than 0.4% as compared with the existing model.
