Besides the feedforward neural networks, there are the recurrent networks, where the impulses can be transmitted in both directions due to some reaction connections in these networks. Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are linear or nonlinear dynamic systems. The dynamic behavior presented by the recurrent neural networks can be described both in continuous time, by differential equations and at discrete times by the recurrence relations (difference equations). The distinction between recurrent (or dynamic) neural networks and static neural networks is due to recurrent connections both between the layers of neurons of these networks and within the same layer, too. The aim of this chapter is to describe a Recurrent Fuzzy Neural Network (RFNN) model, whose learning algorithm is based on the Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (IPSO) method.

Large scale artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been widely used in data processing applications. The recurrent neural network (RNN) is a special type of neural network equipped with additional recurrent connections. Such a unique architecture enables the recurrent neural network to remember the past processed information and makes it an expressive model for nonlinear sequence processing tasks. However, the large computation complexity makes it difficult to effectively train a recurrent neural network and therefore significantly limits the research on the recurrent neural network in the last 20 years. In recent years, the use of graphics processing units (GPUs) becomes a significant advance to speed up the training process of large scale neural networks by taking advantage of the massive parallelism capabilities of GPUs. In this paper, we propose an efficient GPU implementation of the large scale recurrent neural network and demonstrate the power of scaling up the recurrent neural network with GPUs. We first explore the potential parallelism of the recurrent neural network and propose a fine-grained two-stage pipeline implementation. Experiment results show that the proposed GPU implementation can achieve 2 ~ 11 x speed-up compared with the basic CPU implementation with the Intel Math Kernel Library. We then use the proposed GPU implementation to scale up the recurrent neural network and improve its performance. The experiment results of the Microsoft Research Sentence Completion Challenge demonstrate that the large scale recurrent network without class layer is able to beat the traditional class-based modest-size recurrent network and achieve an accuracy of 47%, the best result achieved by a single recurrent neural network on the same dataset.

Modern deep neural networks are being widelyexploited to solve challenging learning tasks, including nonlinearsystem identification. Bayesian system identification intrinsicallyencapsulate uncertainty in model parameters and provides fore-casting distribution enabling enhanced analysis, simulation andcontrol system design. Nevertheless, the application of the full Bayesian approach to articulated models as deep neural networksresults quite challenging in practice. In this work we propose anidentification technique for nonlinear dynamic systems exploitinga deep recurrent neural network with Long-Short Term Memory(LSTM) units retaining a Bayesian framework. To such an aim,we stacked the recurrent neural network with a probabilisticlayer, decomposing the nonlinear dynamic model into a combi-nation of flexible functions. Hence, deterministic and stochasticlayers are trained jointly, forcing the learning algorithm totransform the input data sequences into a deterministic featurespace encoded by the LSTM, useful for predictions. Besides, wedeployed a scalable technique based on Variational Inference todeal with the exact inference intractability. We show the effec-tiveness of the proposed approach by the application to a widelyexploited open benchmark for nonlinear system identification

The theoretical and practical aspects of an anomaly detection system in DNS queries, which serves as a crucial tool for ensuring the security of internet infrastructure, are examined. Anomalous DNS queries pose a serious threat to network security and stability as they can be an indicator of cyber attacks or malicious activity. One of the most common threats is the use of DNS to carry out DDoS attacks, in particular through the DNS amplification mechanism. An analysis of existing anomaly detection methods, including statistical, signature-based approaches, and machine learning methods, is conducted. The key stages of the proposed system's development are described, including data collection, preprocessing, and analysis, as well as the creation of a normal activity profile for identifying deviations. Innovative methods based on deep learning and time series analysis open new horizons in automated detection of anomalies in DNS traffic. Deep neural networks, such as recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and convolutional neural networks (CNNs), are used to detect complex patterns in large data sets, including the textual and temporal aspects of DNS queries. The primary goal of the study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of a combined approach to DNS traffic analysis, utilizing modern machine learning algorithms such as Isolation Forest, One-Class SVM, and K-means. The proposed system achieves a high level of accuracy (92%) and completeness (90%) in anomaly detection, as confirmed by testing results on the CAIDA Passive DNS Dataset. A description of the modular architecture of the system is presented, which allows for scalability in large networks with high traffic levels. The proposed approach is flexible and adaptive, enabling integration with existing network security and incident response tools.

With recent advances in learning algorithms, recurrent networks of spiking neurons are achieving performance that is competitive with vanilla recurrent neural networks. However, these algorithms are limited to small networks of simple spiking neurons and modest-length temporal sequences, as they impose high memory requirements, have difficulty training complex neuron models and are incompatible with online learning. Here, we show how the recently developed Forward-Propagation Through Time (FPTT) learning combined with novel liquid time-constant spiking neurons resolves these limitations. Applying FPTT to networks of such complex spiking neurons, we demonstrate online learning of exceedingly long sequences while outperforming current online methods and approaching or outperforming offline methods on temporal classification tasks. The efficiency and robustness of FPTT enable us to directly train a deep and performant spiking neural network for joint object localization and recognition, demonstrating the ability to train large-scale dynamic and complex spiking neural network architectures. Memory efficient online training of recurrent spiking neural networks without compromising accuracy is an open challenge in neuromorphic computing. Yin and colleagues demonstrate that training a recurrent neural network consisting of so-called liquid time-constant spiking neurons using an algorithm called Forward-Propagation Through Time allows for online learning and state-of-the-art performance at a reduced computational cost compared with existing approaches.

Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), which are a powerful scheme for modeling temporal and sequential data need to capture long-term dependencies on datasets and represent them in hidden layers with a powerful model to capture more information from inputs. For modeling long-term dependencies in a dataset, the gating mechanism concept can help RNNs remember and forget previous information. Representing the hidden layers of an RNN with more expressive operations (i.e., tensor products) helps it learn a more complex relationship between the current input and the previous hidden layer information. These ideas can generally improve RNN performances. In this paper, we proposed a novel RNN architecture that combine the concepts of gating mechanism and the tensor product into a single model. By combining these two concepts into a single RNN, our proposed models learn long-term dependencies by modeling with gating units and obtain more expressive and direct interaction between input and hidden layers using a tensor product on 3-dimensional array (tensor) weight parameters. We use Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) RNN and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) RNN and combine them with a tensor product inside their formulations. Our proposed RNNs, which are called a Long-Short Term Memory Recurrent Neural Tensor Network (LSTMRNTN) and Gated Recurrent Unit Recurrent Neural Tensor Network (GRURNTN), are made by combining the LSTM and GRU RNN models with the tensor product. We conducted experiments with our proposed models on word-level and character-level language modeling tasks and revealed that our proposed models significantly improved their performance compared to our baseline models.

Prediction concept needs human-like thinking and ideas. ANN helps make a program for describing the solutions to the prediction problems. To gain accurate prediction, there is a need for deep thinking in the knowledge system discovered. Deep learning helps form such next-level type of ANN thinking. Deep learning models do not require humans for programming the problems. It can determine the prediction by itself by learning the dataset. This paper describes the prediction by considering sequential model for continuous accessing of data with the help of multi-layers. Deep learning is very helpful for predicting larger dataset. This paper proposes an algorithmic model known as a Comprehensive Deep Recurrent Artificial Neural Networks (CDRANN) by hybridizing LSTM (long short-term memory) with RNN (recurrent neural network) backtrack solver for better future stock prediction. This paper also explains the need for hybridizing evolutionary model CDRANN to create a novel change in future prediction.KeywordsCDRANN (Comprehensive Deep Recurrent Artificial Neural Networks)LSTM (long short-term memory)RNN (recurrent neural network)Stock marketPrediction

Stacked autoencoder (SAE) is hard to achieve satisfactory performance, when input data are complex and non-stationary. Besides, the identification performance of recurrent neural network (RNN) may decrease rapidly under noisy environment. In order to deal with these problems, a novel hybrid deep neural network (DNN) based on stacked denoising autoencoder (SDAE) and gated recurrent unit neural network (GRUNN) is presented. First, the structure of the presented hybrid DNN is given. The hybrid DNN contains a SDAE, a GRUNN, and a softmax classifier. Then, the training algorithm based on action discovery (AD) is proposed to train the presented hybrid DNN. The experimental studies indicate the presented hybrid DNN processes strong anti-noise ability and adaptability to time-varying signals.

Anomaly detection in crowd surveillance videos is a critical task for ensuring public safety and security. In this research paper, we propose a comprehensive framework for anomaly detection using deep learning techniques, specifically Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). Our objective is to narrow the gap between computational complexity and detection effectiveness while satisfying the demand for explainability in anomaly detection systems. The proposed framework leverages the UCSD Ped2 dataset and focuses on incorporating spatial constraints to enhance anomaly detection performance. We introduce novel approaches for feature extraction and anomaly detection using GANs, aiming to capture essential spatial and temporal information while reducing computational complexity. Specifically, we develop encoders within the GAN framework to map input data to a lower-dimensional latent space and perform anomaly detection based on the similarity between latent codes. Through extensive experimentation and evaluation, we compare the performance of RNNs, CNNs, and GANs in detecting anomalies in crowd surveillance videos. Various evaluation metrics, including precision, recall, F1 score, ROC-AUC, and PR-AUC, is considered to assess the effectiveness of each approach. Additionally, they studied hyperparameters such as learning rate, batch size, network architecture, and GAN-specific parameters to optimize anomaly detection performance. Our results demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed framework in achieving robust and explainable anomaly detection in crowd surveillance videos. By combining advanced deep learning techniques with spatial constraints and explainability considerations, our research contributes to the development of more reliable and interpretable anomaly detection systems for real-world applications.

Recently the development of deep learning has been propelling the sheer growth of vision and speech applications on lightweight embedded and mobile systems. However, the limitation of computation resource and power delivery capability in embedded platforms is recognized as a significant bottleneck that prevents the systems from providing real-time deep learning ability, since the inference of deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs) involves large quantities of weights and operations. Particularly, how to provide quality-of-services (QoS)-guaranteed neural network inference ability in the multitask execution environment of multicore SoCs is even more complicated due to the existence of resource contention. In this article, we present a novel deep neural network architecture, MV-Net, which provides performance elasticity and contention-aware self-scheduling ability for QoS enhancement in mobile computing systems. When the constraints of QoS, output accuracy, and resource contention status of the system change, MV-Net can dynamically reconfigure the corresponding neural network propagation paths and thus achieves an effective tradeoff between neural network computational complexity and prediction accuracy via approximate computing. The experimental results show that (1) MV-Net significantly improves the performance flexibility of current CNN models and makes it possible to provide always-guaranteed QoS in a multitask environment, and (2) it satisfies the quality-of-results (QoR) requirement, outperforming the baseline implementation significantly, and improves the system energy efficiency at the same time.

Internet of Things (IoT) technology has been incorporated into the majority of people’s everyday lives and places of employment due to the quick development in information technology. Modern agricultural techniques increasingly use the well-known and superior approach of managing a farm known as “smart farming”. Utilizing a variety of information and agricultural technologies, crops are observed for their general health and productivity. This requires monitoring the condition of field crops and looking at many other indicators. The goal of smart agriculture is to reduce the amount of money spent on agricultural inputs while keeping the quality of the final product constant. The Internet of Things (IoT) has made smart agriculture possible through data collection and storage techniques. For example, modern irrigation systems use effective sensor networks to collect field data for the best plant irrigation. Smart agriculture will become more susceptible to cyber-attacks as its reliance on the IoT ecosystem grows, because IoT networks have a large number of nodes but limited resources, which makes security a difficult issue. Hence, it is crucial to have an intrusion detection system (IDS) that can address such challenges. In this manuscript, an IoT-based privacy-preserving anomaly detection model for smart agriculture has been proposed. The motivation behind this work is twofold. Firstly, ensuring data privacy in IoT-based agriculture is of the utmost importance due to the large volumes of sensitive information collected by IoT devices, including on environmental conditions, crop health, and resource utilization data. Secondly, the timely detection of anomalies in smart agriculture systems is critical to enable proactive interventions, such as preventing crop damage, optimizing resource allocation, and ensuring sustainable farming practices. In this paper, we propose a privacy-encoding-based enhanced deep learning framework for the difficulty of data encryption and intrusion detection. In terms of data encoding, a novel method of a sparse capsule-auto encoder (SCAE) is proposed along with feature selection, feature mapping, and feature normalization. An SCAE is used to convert information into a new encrypted format in order to prevent deduction attacks. An attention-based gated recurrent unit neural network model is proposed to detect the intrusion. An AGRU is an advanced version of a GRU which is enhanced by an attention mechanism. In the results section, the proposed model is compared with existing deep learning models using two public datasets. Parameters such as recall, precision, accuracy, and F1-score are considered. The proposed model has accuracy, recall, precision, and F1-score of 99.9%, 99.7%, 99.9%, and 99.8%, respectively. The proposed method is compared using a variety of machine learning techniques such as the deep neural network (DNN), convolutional neural network (CNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), and long short-term memory (LSTM).

Deep neural network (DNN) architectures such as recurrent neural networks and transformers display outstanding performance in modeling sequential unstructured data. However, little is known about their merit to model customer churn with time-varying data. The paper provides a comprehensive evaluation of the ability of recurrent neural networks and transformers for customer churn prediction (CCP) using time-varying behavioral features in the form of recency, frequency, and monetary value (RFM). RFM variables are the backbone of CCP and, more generally, customer behavior forecasting. We examine alternative strategies for integrating time-varying and non-variant customer features in one network architecture. In this scope, we also assess hybrid approaches that incorporate the outputs of DNNs in conventional CCP models. Using a comprehensive panel data set from a large financial services company, we find recurrent neural networks to outperform transformer architectures when focusing on time-varying RFM features. This finding is confirmed when time-invariant customer features are included, independent of the specific form of feature integration. Finally, we find no statistical evidence that hybrid approaches (based on regularized logistic regression and extreme gradient boosting) improve predictive performance—highlighting that DNNs and especially recurrent neural networks are suitable standalone classifiers for CCP using time-varying RFM measures.
