Water quality prediction (WQP) plays an essential role in water quality management for aquaculture to make aquaculture production profitable and sustainable. In this work, we propose hybrid deep learning (DL) models, convolutional neural network (CNN) with the long short-term memory (LSTM) and gated recurrent unit (GRU) for aquaculture WQP. CNN can effectively fetch the aquaculture water quality characteristics, whereas GRU and LSTM can learn long-term dependencies in the time series data. We conduct experiments using the two different water quality datasets and present an extensive study on the impact of hyperparameters on the performance of the proposed hybrid DL models. Furthermore, the performance of hybrid CNN-LSTM and CNN-GRU models are compared with different baseline LSTM, GRU and CNN DL models and also with attention-based LSTM and attention-based GRU DL models. The results show that the hybrid CNN-LSTM outperformed all other models in terms of prediction accuracy and computation time.

Parts of Speech (pos) tagging corresponds to techniques of tagging accurate pos tags of each word of a sentence. It is a pivotal and indispensable part of sentiment analysis, synthesizing text to speech, analyzing textual data and many more Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. Though there are many researches done in the field of languages like English, Chinese etc., it is still comparatively unexplored for Bangla. An excellent pos tagger in Bangla language can accelerate NLP of Bangla textual data. In this study, we have developed a novel hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model with two parallel input networks with Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and Bidirectional Long Short Term Memory (BiLSTM), and an output network of CNN. CNN works well regarding the local dependencies of words in sentences, and BiLSTM works well with the global dependencies of words regarding the context in a sentence. No other work has been done with local features of textual data along with long term word dependencies in Bangla pos tagging studies. The model can work with any external Word Embeddings. In this study, it is implemented with both Embedding Layer and Word2Vec layer. In the evaluation process, Mathews Correlation Coefficient (MCC), Precision-Recall curve are used along with accuracy and F1-score due to the dataset's imbalanced characteristic. Our proposed model accompanied by Word2Vec layer has outperformed Vanilla Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), Gated Recurrent Units (GRU), Long Short Term Memory (LSTM), BiLSTM networks, and also one recent study using the same dataset with the highest accuracy of 0.974, F1-score of 0.883, and MCC value of 0.936.

Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in Sri Lanka are increasingly turning to social media to gain insights into consumer preferences; however, they frequently lack sophisticated analytical tools to derive actionable insights. This research introduces a hybrid deep learning framework aimed at sentiment and emotion analysis specifically for the Sri Lankan cake sector. Customer reviews and social media comments were gathered and processed through various methods including text cleaning, emoji translation, stopword elimination, tokenization, and sequence padding. Several deep learning models— Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM), and Gated Recurrent Units (GRU) were assessed, along with hybrid models that combined CNN and BiLSTM with GPT-2 embeddings. The CNN+GPT-2 model achieved the highest accuracy in sentiment classification at 96.14%, while BiLSTM performed best in emotion classification with an accuracy of 91.57%. In terms of trend forecasting, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) outshone both SARIMA and Prophet, yielding the lowest error metrics and the most reliable sentiment predictions. These results underscore the potential of hybrid deep learning and transformer-based models to effectively capture complex consumer sentiments and provide SMEs with practical, AI-driven insights. This study is among the first to implement such hybrid NLP models within a localized Sri Lankan context, presenting a scalable approach for business intelligence and informed decision-making.

With the aim of enhancing the accuracy of current models for forecasting vegetable prices and improving market structures, this study focuses on the prices of bell peppers at the Nanhuanqiao Market in Suzhou. In this paper, we propose a hybrid Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) model for vegetable price forecasting based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Attention Mechanism (ATT). Initially, we utilized the Pearson correlation coefficient to filter out the factors impacting prices. Then, we applied PCA to reduce dimensionality, extracting key price features. Next, we captured local sequence patterns with CNN, while handling time-series features with GRU. Finally, these outputs were integrated via ATT to generate the final prediction. Our results indicate that the hybrid CNN-GRU model, enhanced by PCA and ATT, achieved a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) as low as 0.1642. This performance is 11.11%, 11.11%, and 15.79% better than that of the PCA-CNN, PCA-GRU, and CNN-GRU-ATT models, respectively. Furthermore, in order to prove the effectiveness of our proposed model, the proposed model is compared with the state-of-the-art models and classical machine learning algorithms under the same dataset, the results indicate that our proposed hybrid deep learning model based on PCA and ATT shows the best performance. Consequently, our model offers a valuable reference for vegetable price prediction.

Attention-Based Hybrid Deep Learning Model for Intrusion Detection in IIoT Networks

Within the scope of this study, a range of advanced machine learning and deep learning models—including Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA), Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), Categorical Boosting (CatBoost), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Deep Autoencoder, Deep Neural Network (DNN), Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)—were employed to estimate the Standardized Groundwater Index (SGI) in Erzincan Province. SSA was utilized as a preprocessing technique to decompose input variables such as precipitation, relative humidity, temperature, and past SGI values into distinct components including trend, seasonality, cyclicality, and noise. These decomposed components were then fed into the artificial intelligence models to construct hybrid forecasting frameworks. The performance of each hybrid model was evaluated using multiple statistical indicators and visual analyses. The findings demonstrated that incorporating all SSA-derived subcomponents as inputs generally improved the monthly SGI prediction accuracy. However, for 12-month SGI predictions, the results were more variable, with both improvements and deteriorations observed depending on the model configuration. Additionally, the elimination of noise components was found to enhance both model generalization capability and overall prediction performance. Among the models tested, ANFIS emerged as the most effective in capturing GWD dynamics. To further investigate variable importance, Sobol sensitivity analysis was applied to the ANFIS outputs. The analysis revealed that previous SGI-1 values (t − 1) and relative humidity were the most influential inputs in predicting current SGI-1 (t) values.

Due to the continuous growth and advancement of technology, an enormous volume of text data is generated daily across various sources including social media platforms, websites, search engines, healthcare records, and news articles. Extracting meaningful patterns from text data, such as viewpoints, related theories, journal distribution, facts, and the development of online news text, is a challenging task due to the varying lengths of the texts. One issue arises from the length of the text data itself, and another challenge lies in extracting valuable features, especially in news articles. In the deep learning models, the convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are capable of capturing local features in text data, but unable to capture the structural information or semantic relationships between words. Consequently, a sole CNN network often yields poor performance in text classification tasks, whereas the Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) is adept at effectively extracting semantic information and understanding the global structural relationships present in textual data. This paper presents a solution to the problem by introducing a new text classification that integrates the strengths of CNN and GRU. The proposed hybrid models incorporate word vectorization and word dispersion in parallel. Initially, the model trains word vectors using the Word2vec model and then leverages the GRU model to capture semantic information from text sentences. Subsequently, the CNN method is employed to capture crucial semantic features, leading to classification using the SoftMax layer. Experimental findings demonstrated that the proposed hybrid GRU_CNN model outperformed and achieved accuracy 97.73% as compared to individual CNN, LSTM, and GRU models in terms of classification effectiveness and accuracy.

Emotion recognition (ER) is crucial for understanding human behaviours, social interactions, and psychological well-being. Electroencephalography (EEG) has emerged as a promising tool for capturing the neural correlates of emotions. This work is a systematic review of articles in ER using EEG signals. A total of 120 articles from 1041 articles were selected based on PRISMA guidelines using defined inclusion and exclusion criteria, published between 2018 and 2024. This article aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the current landscape of ER from EEG signals utilizing deep learning (DL). This review offers valuable guidance for researchers and practitioners seeking more refined and reliable emotion classification systems. To explore the effectiveness of DL models in EEG-based ER, several potential DL models, such as convolutional neural network, long short-term memory (LSTM), gated recurrent unit (GRU), hybrid bidirectional LSTM (BiLSTM), bidirectional GRU, and advanced DL models such as convolutional recurrent neural network and EEG-Conformer models are applied to two popular datasets, SEED and GAMEEMO, respectively, to depict the full process of ER. Additionally, the performance of DL models is also compared with the performance of basic machine learning (ML) models such as SVM, k-nearest neighbors, logistic regression, and boosting algorithms such as AdaBoost, XGBoost and LightGBM. Through extensive experiments and performance evaluations, the performance of different models when applied to the datasets mentioned above is compared. The accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-scores are analysed to determine the most effective model for EEG-based ER. The findings of this study demonstrate that the performance of hybrid DL models is more efficacious than that of ML models. The best-performing model (BiLSTM) classified the emotions, with an accuracy of 90.54% when applied to the GAMEEMO dataset. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on ER and provides insights into the feasibility of using EEG signals to understand emotional states, and presents a structured roadmap for future exploration. The findings can aid in the development of more accurate and reliable ER systems, which can have wide-ranging applications in psychology, social sciences, and human-computer interactions.

In recent years, channel state information (CSI) in WiFi 802.11n has been increasingly used to collect data pertaining to human activity. Such raw data are then used to enhance human activity recognition. Activities such as lying down, falling, walking, running, sitting down, and standing up can now be detected with the use of information collected through CSI. Human activity recognition has a multitude of applications, such as home monitoring of patients. Four deep learning models are presented in this paper, namely: a convolution neural network (CNN) with a Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU); a CNN with a GRU and attention; a CNN with a GRU and a second CNN, and a CNN with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and a second CNN. Those models were trained to perform Human Activity Recognition (HAR) using CSI amplitude data collected by a CSI tool. Experiments conducted to test the efficacy of these models showed superior results compared with other recent approaches. This enhanced performance of our models may be attributable the ability of our models to make full use of available data and to extract all data features, including high dimensionality and time sequence. The highest average recognition accuracy reached by the proposed models was achieved by the CNN-GRU, and the CNN-GRU with attention models, standing at 99.31% and 99.16%, respectively. In addition, the performance of the models was evaluated for unseen CSI data by training our models using a random split-of-dataset method (70% training and 30% testing). Our models achieved impressive results with accuracies reaching 100% for nearly all activities. For the lying down activity, accuracy obtained from the CNN-GRU model stood at 99.46%; slightly higher than the 99.05% achieved by the CNN-GRU with attention model. This confirmed the robustness of our models against environmental changes.

Messenger RNA (mRNA) has emerged as a critical global technology that requires global joint efforts from different entities to develop a COVID-19 vaccine. However, the chemical properties of RNA pose a challenge in utilizing mRNA as a vaccine candidate. For instance, the molecules are prone to degradation, which has a negative impact on the distribution of mRNA among patients. In addition, little is known of the degradation properties of individual RNA bases in a molecule. Therefore, this study aims to investigate whether a hybrid deep learning can predict RNA degradation from RNA sequences. Two deep hybrid neural network models were proposed, namely GCN_GRU and GCN_CNN. The first model is based on graph convolutional neural networks (GCNs) and gated recurrent unit (GRU). The second model is based on GCN and convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Both models were computed over the structural graph of the mRNA molecule. The experimental results showed that GCN_GRU hybrid model outperform GCN_CNN model by a large margin during the test time. Validation of proposed hybrid models is performed by well-known evaluation measures. Among different deep neural networks, GCN_GRU based model achieved best scores on both public and private MCRMSE test scores with 0.22614 and 0.34152, respectively. Finally, GCN_GRU pre-trained model has achieved the highest AuC score of 0.938. Such proven outperformance of GCNs indicates that modeling RNA molecules using graphs is critical in understanding molecule degradation mechanisms, which helps in minimizing the aforementioned issues. To show the importance of the proposed GCN_GRU hybrid model, in silico experiments has been contacted. The in-silico results showed that our model pays local attention when predicting a given position’s reactivity and exhibits interesting behavior on neighboring bases in the sequence.
