This paper presents a series of experiments on the classification of emergency phone conversation records using artificial neural networks (ANNs). Input data which were processed by ANNs were the features of callers and events taken from emergency phone calls. The authors analyzed four variants of classification: the groups of callers which have specified features, the groups of events which have...
Spectral band power features are one of the most widely used features in the studies of electroencephalogram (EEG)-based emotion recognition. The power spectral density of EEG signals is partitioned into different bands such as delta, theta, alpha and beta band etc. Though based on neuroscientific findings, the partition of frequency bands is somewhat on an ad-hoc basis, and the definition of frequency...
This paper proposes a novel time series forecasting method based on a weighted self-constructing clustering technique. The training data patterns are processed incrementally. If a data pattern is not similar enough to an existing cluster, it forms a new cluster of its own. However, if a data pattern is similar enough to an existing cluster, it is added to the most similar cluster. During the clustering...
To overcome the unsatisfying trend prediction results of network public opinion in the present research, this paper put forward a method of Levenberg-Marquardt-based Back-Propagation (LM-BP) neural network algorithm to predict the network public opinion trend. Taking the microblog as the research object, the effectiveness and reliability of the method are proved with some real data in this article...
Network security has become a very important issue and attracted a lot of study and practice. To detect or prevent network attacks, a network intrusion detection (NID) system may be equipped with machine learning algorithms to achieve better accuracy and faster detection speed. One of the major advantages of applying machine learning to network intrusion detection is that we don't need expert knowledge...
Deep learning has gained considerable attention in the scientific community, breaking benchmark records in many fields such as speech and visual recognition [1]. Motivated by extending advancement of deep learning approaches to brain imaging classification, we propose a framework, called “deep neural network (DNN)+ layer-wise relevance propagation (LRP)”, to distinguish schizophrenia patients (SZ)...
Area V5 or Middle Temporal (MT) area of the primate brain is said to be involved in visual motion perception. Physiological studies indicate that the neurons in MT respond selectively to the direction of moving stimuli. However in response to the complex stimuli containing multiple oriented components, a set of MT neurons are selective to the direction of the component motion whereas the other set...
An intelligent system uses machine learning algorithms to provide outputs to every input provided. The introduction of emotions in intelligent systems is required to create systems that are more similar to human beings and thus more reliable. In this paper, the idea of introducing the emotion ‘uncertainty’ in Intelligent Systems is proposed. A Semi-Automated Intelligent System is introduced in this...
Ransomware is one type of malware that covertly installs and executes a cryptovirology attack on a victims computer to demand a ransom payment for restoration of the infected resources. This kind of malware has been growing largely in recent days and causes tens of millions of dollars losses to consumers. In this paper, we evaluate shallow and deep networks for the detection and classification of...
This paper develops a hybrid electricity price-forecasting framework to improve the accuracy of prediction. A novel clustering method is proposed that uses a modified game theoretic self-organizing map (GTSOM) and neural gas (NG) along with competitive Hebbian Learning (CHL) to provide a better vector quantization (VQ). To resolve the deficiency of the original SOM, five strategies are proposed to...
In recent years, Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have been of special interest in the area of image processing and scene perception. Albeit being effective and accurate, DNNs demand challenging computational resources. Fortunately, dedicated low bitwidth accelerators enable efficient, real-time inference of DNNs. We present an approximate evaluation method and a specialized multiplierless accelerator...
Wind power has recently become one of the most important renewable energy sources due to its advantages including less pollution, flexible investment, short construction period and less land occupation. The uncertainty of the speed and direction of wind causes wind power prediction to be extremely difficult to wind power generation. The Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) has the advantage of big data...
Automatic recognition of human demographical attributes has implications in a variety of domains, such as surveillance systems, human computer interaction, marketing etc. In this paper, we present an automatic gender recognition method from facial images based on convolutional neural networks. In order to train the network, we merged together several face databases and also gathered and annotated...
In this paper, the neural network theory is used to establish the BP neural network prediction system for the occurrence of haze. The corresponding parameters are determined by MATLAB language, and the effect of the model is tested by the prediction of Shijiazhuang area. the result shows the feasibility of the predictive model. So it's valuable and has a bright future.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder creates conditions for the child as s/he cannot sit calm and still, control his/her behavior and focus his/her attention on a particular issue. Five out of every hundred children are affected by the disease. Boys are three times more than girls at risk for this complication. The disorder often begins before age seven, and parents may not realize their children...
This paper proposes an optimized pedestrian and vehicle detection method based on deep learning technique. We optimize the convolutional neural network architecture by three mainly methods. The first one is the choice of the learning policy. The second one is to simplify the convolutional neural network architecture. The last one is careful choice of training samples. With limited loss of accuracy,...
Spiking Neural Networks offer low precision communication, robustness, and low power consumption and are attractive for autonomous applications. One of the well accepted learning rules for these networks is spike time dependent plasticity which is governed by the pre- and postsynaptic spike timings. To stabilize the plasticity and avoid saturation in these learning rules, synaptic normalization is...

In this work, we propose a regularized learning method that is able to take into account the deviation of the memristor-mapped synaptic weights from the target values determined during the training process. Experimental results obtained when utilizing the MNIST data set show that compared to the conventional learning method which considers the learning and mapping processes separately, our learning...
