In this work, we adopt the use of deep learning method for no-reference image quality assessment. With the development of deep neural networks technology, foundational and deep features of images could be captured without much prior knowledge. So a sparse autoencoder (SAE) was trained to express a 32 × 32 pixels image into a feature vector. Then the original images were cut into serial sub-images...
Deep learning techniques are able to process and learn from data (e.g., images, video, audio) without explicit feature extraction. As a result, not only is the manual workload to build such models reduced, but the performance and accuracy of these models can often outperform those in which the preprocessing phase embeds human intuition. In the light of these advancements this study aims to examine...
In the realm of surface electromyography (sEMG) gesture recognition, deep learning algorithms are seldom employed. This is due in part to the large quantity of data required for them to train on. Consequently, it would be prohibitively time consuming for a single user to generate a sufficient amount of data for training such algorithms. In this paper, two datasets of 18 and 17 able-bodied participants...
In this paper, a system to aid the visually impaired by providing contextual information of the surroundings using 360° view camera combined with deep learning is proposed. The system uses a 360° view camera with a mobile device to capture surrounding scene information and provide contextual information to the user in the form of audio. The scene information from the spherical camera feed is classified...

Recently, a state-of-the-art algorithm, called deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG), has achieved good performance in many continuous control tasks in the MuJoCo simulator. To further improve the efficiency of the experience replay mechanism in DDPG and thus speeding up the training process, in this paper, a prioritized experience replay method is proposed for the DDPG algorithm, where prioritized...
Machine learning has become one of the go-to methods for solving problems in the field of networking. This development is driven by data availability in large-scale networks and the commodification of machine learning frameworks. While this makes it easier for researchers to implement and deploy machine learning solutions on networks quickly, there are a number of vital factors to account for when...
Acoustic classification of frogs has received increasing attention for its promising application in ecological studies. Various studies have been proposed for classifying frog species, but most recordings are assumed to have only a single species. In this study, a method to classify multiple frog species in an audio clip is presented. To be specific, continuous frog recordings are first cropped into...
In this paper we report on our study of the performance of Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) agents in performing tasks that are illustrative for human Sensor Operators (SOs) in Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPASs). Our hypothesis is that the descriptive and predictive qualities of the agent's learning process potentially allow us to identify human task requirements, training needs, selection...

The primary goal of the work presented in this paper is to perform a semi-automated sentiment classification on online product reviews for product evaluation using machine learning...
Automated Planning focuses on plan search. Traditionally, it aimed at domain-independent methods with handcrafted domain models. However, automated domain model acquisition, especially the action model acquisition is difficult. On the other hand, many problem specific search space pruning techniques were proposed. Therefore, we combine the automated domain model acquisition and problem specific search...
With the advent of new technologies in the field of medicine, there is rising awareness of biomechanisms, and we are better able to treat ailments than we could earlier.

We propose a method that uses kernel method-based algorithms to implement an autoencoder. Deep learning-based algorithms have two characteristics, one is the high level data abstraction, the other is the multiple level data transformations and representations. The kernel method is one of the approaches that can be used in linear and non-linear transformations. It should be one of the implementations...
