scholarly journals Towards a Reliable and Sensitive Deep Learning Based Approach for Multi-Ship Detection in SAR Imagery

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images show promising results in monitoring maritime activities. Recently, Deep learning-based object detection techniques have impressive results in most detection applications but unfortunately there are challenging problems such as difficulty of detecting multiple ships, especially inshore ones. In this paper, a three-step ship detection process is described and a reliable and sensitive hybrid deep learning model is proposed as an efficient classifier in the middle step. The proposed model combines the finetuned Inception-Resnet-V2 model and the Long Short Term Memory model in two different approaches: parallel approach and cascaded approach. In experiments, the region proposal algorithm and the Non-Maxima suppression algorithm are applied in the first and last step in the three-step detection process. The comparative results show that the proposed approach in cascaded form outperforms the competitive recent state-of-the-art approaches by enhancement up to 16.3%, 16.5%, and 18.9% in terms of recall, precision and mean average precision, respectively. Moreover, the proposed approach shows high relative sensitivity for challenged cases of both inshore and offshore scenes by enhancement ratios up to 81.88% and 24.58%, respectively in recall perspective.

<span>This paper proposes a new hybrid deep learning model for heart disease prediction using recurrent neural network (RNN) with the combination of multiple gated recurrent units (GRU), long short-term memory (LSTM) and Adam optimizer. This proposed model resulted in an outstanding accuracy of 98.6876% which is the highest in the existing model of RNN. The model was developed in Python 3.7 by integrating RNN in multiple GRU that operates in Keras and Tensorflow as the backend for deep learning process, supported by various Python libraries. The recent existing models using RNN have reached an accuracy of 98.23% and deep neural network (DNN) has reached 98.5%. The common drawbacks of the existing models are low accuracy due to the complex build-up of the neural network, high number of neurons with redundancy in the neural network model and imbalance datasets of Cleveland. Experiments were conducted with various customized model, where results showed that the proposed model using RNN and multiple GRU with synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTe) has reached the best performance level. This is the highest accuracy result for RNN using Cleveland datasets and much promising for making an early heart disease prediction for the patients.</span>

Accurate air quality monitoring requires processing of multi-dimensional, multi-location sensor data, which has previously been considered in centralised machine learning models. These are often unsuitable for resource-constrained edge devices. In this article, we address this challenge by: (1) designing a novel hybrid deep learning model for hourly PM2.5 pollutant prediction; (2) optimising the obtained model for edge devices; and (3) examining model performance running on the edge devices in terms of both accuracy and latency. The hybrid deep learning model in this work comprises a 1D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) to predict hourly PM2.5 concentration. The results show that our proposed model outperforms other deep learning models, evaluated by calculating RMSE and MAE errors. The proposed model was optimised for edge devices, the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ (RPi3B+) and Raspberry Pi 4 Model B (RPi4B). This optimised model reduced file size to a quarter of the original, with further size reduction achieved by implementing different post-training quantisation. In total, 8272 hourly samples were continuously fed to the edge device, with the RPi4B executing the model twice as fast as the RPi3B+ in all quantisation modes. Full-integer quantisation produced the lowest execution time, with latencies of 2.19 s and 4.73 s for RPi4B and RPi3B+, respectively.

Spreading rumors in social media is considered under cybercrimes that affect people, societies, and governments. For instance, some criminals create rumors and send them on the internet, then other people help them to spread it. Spreading rumors can be an example of cyber abuse, where rumors or lies about the victim are posted on the internet to send threatening messages or to share the victim’s personal information. During pandemics, a large amount of rumors spreads on social media very fast, which have dramatic effects on people’s health. Detecting these rumors manually by the authorities is very difficult in these open platforms. Therefore, several researchers conducted studies on utilizing intelligent methods for detecting such rumors. The detection methods can be classified mainly into machine learning-based and deep learning-based methods. The deep learning methods have comparative advantages against machine learning ones as they do not require preprocessing and feature engineering processes and their performance showed superior enhancements in many fields. Therefore, this paper aims to propose a Novel Hybrid Deep Learning Model for Detecting COVID-19-related Rumors on Social Media (LSTM–PCNN). The proposed model is based on a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Concatenated Parallel Convolutional Neural Networks (PCNN). The experiments were conducted on an ArCOV-19 dataset that included 3157 tweets; 1480 of them were rumors (46.87%) and 1677 tweets were non-rumors (53.12%). The findings of the proposed model showed a superior performance compared to other methods in terms of accuracy, recall, precision, and F-score.

With rapid advancement in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), automatic modulation classification (AMC) using deep learning (DL) techniques has become very popular. This is even more relevant for Internet of things (IoT)-assisted wireless systems. This paper presents a lightweight, ensemble model with convolution, long short term memory (LSTM), and gated recurrent unit (GRU) layers. The proposed model is termed as deep recurrent convoluted network with additional gated layer (DRCaG). It has been tested on a dataset derived from the RadioML2016(b) and comprises of 8 different modulation types named as BPSK, QPSK, 8-PSK, 16-QAM, 4-PAM, CPFSK, GFSK, and WBFM. The performance of the proposed model has been presented through extensive simulation in terms of training loss, accuracy, and confusion matrix with variable signal to noise ratio (SNR) ranging from −20 dB to +20 dB and it demonstrates the superiority of DRCaG vis-a-vis existing ones.

With increasing members in social media sites today, people tend to share their views about everything online. It is a convenient way to convey their messages to end users on a specific subject. Sentiment Analysis is a subfield of Natural Language Processing (NLP) that refers to the identification of users’ opinions toward specific topics. It is used in several fields such as marketing, customer services, etc. However, limited works have been done on Persian Sentiment Analysis. On the other hand, deep learning has recently become popular because of its successful role in several Natural Language Processing tasks. The objective of this paper is to propose a novel hybrid deep learning architecture for Persian Sentiment Analysis. According to the proposed model, local features are extracted by Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and long-term dependencies are learned by Long Short Term Memory (LSTM). Therefore, the model can harness both CNN's and LSTM's abilities. Furthermore, Word2vec is used for word representation as an unsupervised learning step. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt where a hybrid deep learning model is used for Persian Sentiment Analysis. We evaluate the model on a Persian dataset that is introduced in this study. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed model with an accuracy of 85%.

Fake news is challenging to detect due to mixing accurate and inaccurate information from reliable and unreliable sources. Social media is a data source that is not trustworthy all the time, especially in the COVID-19 outbreak. During the COVID-19 epidemic, fake news is widely spread. The best way to deal with this is early detection. Accordingly, in this work, we have proposed a hybrid deep learning model that uses convolutional neural network (CNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM) to detect COVID-19 fake news. The proposed model consists of some layers: an embedding layer, a convolutional layer, a pooling layer, an LSTM layer, a flatten layer, a dense layer, and an output layer. For experimental results, three COVID-19 fake news datasets are used to evaluate six machine learning models, two deep learning models, and our proposed model. The machine learning models are DT, KNN, LR, RF, SVM, and NB, while the deep learning models are CNN and LSTM. Also, four matrices are used to validate the results: accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-measure. The conducted experiments show that the proposed model outperforms the six machine learning models and the two deep learning models. Consequently, the proposed system is capable of detecting the fake news of COVID-19 significantly.

Solar irradiance fluctuates mainly due to clouds. A sky camera offers images with high temporal and spatial resolutions for a specific solar photovoltaic plant. The cloud cover from sky images is suitable for forecasting local fluctuations of solar irradiance and thereby solar power. Because no study applied deep learning for forecasting cloud cover using sky images, this study attempted to apply the long short-term memory algorithm in deep learning. Cloud cover data were collected by image processing of sky images and used for developing the deep learning model to forecast cloud cover 10 minutes ahead. The forecasted cloud cover data were plugged into solar radiation models as input in order to predict global horizontal irradiance. The forecasted results were grouped into three categories based on sky conditions: clear sky, partly cloudy, and overcast sky. By comparison with solar irradiance measurement at a ground station, the proposed model was evaluated. The proposed model outperformed the persistence model under high variability of solar irradiance such as partly cloudy days with relative root mean square differences for 10-minute-ahead forecasting are 25.10% and 39.95%, respectively. Eventually, this study demonstrated that deep learning can forecast the cloud cover from sky images and thereby can be useful for forecasting solar irradiance under high variability.

Ovarian cancer (OC) is a common reason for mortality among women. Deep learning has recently proven better performance in predicting OC stages and subtypes. However, most of the state-of-the-art deep learning models employ single modality data, which may afford low-level performance due to insufficient representation of important OC characteristics. Furthermore, these deep learning models still lack to the optimization of the model construction, which requires high computational cost to train and deploy them. In this work, a hybrid evolutionary deep learning model, using multi-modal data, is proposed. The established multi-modal fusion framework amalgamates gene modality alongside with histopathological image modality. Based on the different states and forms of each modality, we set up deep feature extraction network, respectively. This includes a predictive antlion-optimized long-short-term-memory model to process gene longitudinal data. Another predictive antlion-optimized convolutional neural network model is included to process histopathology images. The topology of each customized feature network is automatically set by the antlion optimization algorithm to make it realize better performance. After that the output from the two improved networks is fused based upon weighted linear aggregation. The deep fused features are finally used to predict OC stage. A number of assessment indicators was used to compare the proposed model to other nine multi-modal fusion models constructed using distinct evolutionary algorithms. This was conducted using a benchmark for OC and two benchmarks for breast and lung cancers. The results reveal that the proposed model is more precise and accurate in diagnosing OC and the other cancers.

Background & Objective: This paper proposes a Fourier transform inspired method to classify human activities from time series sensor data. Methods: Our method begins by decomposing 1D input signal into 2D patterns, which is motivated by the Fourier conversion. The decomposition is helped by Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) which captures the temporal dependency from the signal and then produces encoded sequences. The sequences, once arranged into the 2D array, can represent the fingerprints of the signals. The benefit of such transformation is that we can exploit the recent advances of the deep learning models for the image classification such as Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Results: The proposed model, as a result, is the combination of LSTM and CNN. We evaluate the model over two data sets. For the first data set, which is more standardized than the other, our model outperforms previous works or at least equal. In the case of the second data set, we devise the schemes to generate training and testing data by changing the parameters of the window size, the sliding size, and the labeling scheme. Conclusion: The evaluation results show that the accuracy is over 95% for some cases. We also analyze the effect of the parameters on the performance.

Background: Sentiment analysis is a contextual mining of text which determines viewpoint of users with respect to some sentimental topics commonly present at social networking websites. Twitter is one of the social sites where people express their opinion about any topic in the form of tweets. These tweets can be examined using various sentiment classification methods to find the opinion of users. Traditional sentiment analysis methods use manually extracted features for opinion classification. The manual feature extraction process is a complicated task since it requires predefined sentiment lexicons. On the other hand, deep learning methods automatically extract relevant features from data hence; they provide better performance and richer representation competency than the traditional methods. Objective: The main aim of this paper is to enhance the sentiment classification accuracy and to reduce the computational cost. Method: To achieve the objective, a hybrid deep learning model, based on convolution neural network and bi-directional long-short term memory neural network has been introduced. Results: The proposed sentiment classification method achieves the highest accuracy for the most of the datasets. Further, from the statistical analysis efficacy of the proposed method has been validated. Conclusion: Sentiment classification accuracy can be improved by creating veracious hybrid models. Moreover, performance can also be enhanced by tuning the hyper parameters of deep leaning models.
