Information is mounting exponentially, and the world is moving to hunt knowledge with the help of Big Data. The labelled data is used for automated learning and data analysis which is termed as Machine Learning. Linear Regression is a statistical method for predictive analysis. Gradient Descent is the process which uses cost function on gradients for minimizing the complexity in computing mean square error. This work presents an insight into the different types of Gradient descent algorithms namely, Batch Gradient Descent, Stochastic Gradient Descent and Mini-Batch Gradient Descent, which are implemented on a Linear regression dataset, and hence determine the computational complexity and other factors like learning rate, batch size and number of iterations which affect the efficiency of the algorithm.

AbstractAlthough the literature on the relationship between economic growth and CO2 emissions is extensive, the use of machine learning (ML) tools remains seminal. In this paper, we assess this nexus for Italy using innovative algorithms, with yearly data for the 1960–2017 period. We develop three distinct models: the batch gradient descent (BGD), the stochastic gradient descent (SGD), and the multilayer perceptron (MLP). Despite the phase of low Italian economic growth, results reveal that CO2 emissions increased in the predicting model. Compared to the observed statistical data, the algorithm shows a correlation between low growth and higher CO2 increase, which contradicts the main strand of literature. Based on this outcome, adequate policy recommendations are provided.

In this paper, we present a handwritten character recognition (HCR) system that aims to recognize first-order logic handwritten formulas and create editable text files of the recognized formulas. Dense feedforward neural networks (NNs) are utilized, and their performance is examined under various training conditions and methods. More specifically, after three training algorithms (backpropagation, resilient propagation and stochastic gradient descent) had been tested, we created and trained an NN with the stochastic gradient descent algorithm, optimized by the Adam update rule, which was proved to be the best, using a trainset of 16,750 handwritten image samples of 28 × 28 each and a testset of 7947 samples. The final accuracy achieved is 90.13%. The general methodology followed consists of two stages: the image processing and the NN design and training. Finally, an application has been created that implements the methodology and automatically recognizes handwritten logic formulas. An interesting feature of the application is that it allows for creating new, user-oriented training sets and parameter settings, and thus new NN models.

Cardiovascular disease is the number one deadly disease in the world. Arrhythmia is one of the types of cardiovascular disease which is hard to detect but by using the routine electrocardiogram (ECG) recording. Due to the variety and the noise of ECG, it is very time consuming to detect it only by experts using bare eyes.Learning from the previous research in order to help the experts, this research develop 11 layers Convolutional Neural Network 2D (CNN 2D) using MITBIH Arrhythmia Dataset. The dataset is firstly preprocessed by using wavelet transform method, then being segmented by R-peak method. The challenge is how to conquer the imbalance and small amount of data but still get the optimal accuracy. This research can be helpful in helping the doctors figure out the type of arrhythmia of the patient. Therefore, this research did the comparison of various optimizers attach in CNN 2D namely, Adabound, Adadelta, Adagrad, Amsbound, Adam and Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD). The result is Adabound get the highest performance with 91% accuracy and faster 1s training duration than Adam which is approximately 18s per epoch.

Abstract Rainfall prediction is the active area of research as it enables the farmers to move with the effective decision-making regarding agriculture in both cultivation and irrigation. The existing prediction models are scary as the prediction of rainfall depended on three major factors including the humidity, rainfall and rainfall recorded in the previous years, which resulted in huge time consumption and leveraged huge computational efforts associated with the analysis. Thus, this paper introduces the rainfall prediction model based on the deep learning network, convolutional long short-term memory (convLSTM) system, which promises a prediction based on the spatial-temporal patterns. The weights of the convLSTM are tuned optimally using the proposed Salp-stochastic gradient descent algorithm (S-SGD), which is the integration of Salp swarm algorithm (SSA) in the stochastic gradient descent (SGD) algorithm in order to facilitate the global optimal tuning of the weights and to assure a better prediction accuracy. On the other hand, the proposed deep learning framework is built in the MapReduce framework that enables the effective handling of the big data. The analysis using the rainfall prediction database reveals that the proposed model acquired the minimal mean square error (MSE) and percentage root mean square difference (PRD) of 0.001 and 0.0021.

We propose two approaches of locally adaptive activation functions namely, layer-wise and neuron-wise locally adaptive activation functions, which improve the performance of deep and physics-informed neural networks. The local adaptation of activation function is achieved by introducing a scalable parameter in each layer (layer-wise) and for every neuron (neuron-wise) separately, and then optimizing it using a variant of stochastic gradient descent algorithm. In order to further increase the training speed, an activation slope-based slope recovery term is added in the loss function, which further accelerates convergence, thereby reducing the training cost. On the theoretical side, we prove that in the proposed method, the gradient descent algorithms are not attracted to sub-optimal critical points or local minima under practical conditions on the initialization and learning rate, and that the gradient dynamics of the proposed method is not achievable by base methods with any (adaptive) learning rates. We further show that the adaptive activation methods accelerate the convergence by implicitly multiplying conditioning matrices to the gradient of the base method without any explicit computation of the conditioning matrix and the matrix–vector product. The different adaptive activation functions are shown to induce different implicit conditioning matrices. Furthermore, the proposed methods with the slope recovery are shown to accelerate the training process.
